I don't own Inuyasha, but Rumiko Takahashi does. I do own any of my own characters that you might notice in this story, though.

Done In With a Bite

Chapter 1

The Clearing and a Girl

I preferred the forests to the crowded streets. I got enough attention as it is just going into a simple town. It got annoying when you always heard things such as, "Clear the way, the Inu Prince is coming through." and others of the like. The forests were always peaceful, quiet, and empty, except for the occasional demon.

It made me a little sad to think that people only saw me as the Inu Prince instead of just me. At first the perks were really appealing: being able to walk through a crowd where everyone cleared the way, bossing around servants, et cetera. But after a while, you got really bored and very lonely.

I was walking back home from picking up my sword. Why would I go to the trouble of picking up my own sword instead of telling a servant to go get it, you ask. Well there are two reasons: one, I felt like it, and two, the Tetsusaiga is very important to me, forged of my own father's fang.

Aforementioned sword was safely tucked away in the belt of my hakama.

I lifted a pine bough away from my eyes, so I could pass without scratching myself. When I did so, I saw a pretty large clearing. But what really caught my attention was what was lying in the center of the clearing.

I felt my breath leave my chest as I looked at the girl lying there.

I took a few steps closer, to get a better look.

Her skin was barely one shade darker than white, very creamy. Her eyes looked up at the sky, a milky chocolate, and glazed over, as if they didn't really see anything at all. Her hair was a raven black; it glistened in the sun, and opposed her skin's color very much. She was clothed in a white dress, which spread out around her legs. One of her arms was pointed upward, the other downward, but they were both not by her sides.

Then I saw the stain on her dress, by her neck. It was red, very red.

Then suddenly it hit me.

'This isn't her blood! That doesn't mean she's… dead?!'

I quickly bent down and sniffed the stain. My nose crinkled. It was blood!

I waved my hand over her eyes, frantically.

"Hello? Anyone there?" I said, still waving my hand over her eyes.

I then searched for a pulse in her neck, on the opposite side of the stain. It was there, but it was growing weaker every second. I looked at the other side, the side with the stain, and tried to find the source of the blood. I found a bite mark on her neck, where a small, weak stream of blood was still running, like a red river.

I quickly did the only thing I could think of to seal the wound; I licked it. Having dog youkai blood in me, I had the wound-sealing enzymes in my saliva. Gross, but it worked.

But she had already lost too much blood. She would die, even though I tried to help.

Then I saw it; the solution to this problem.

Sesshomaru.

Author's note: So how do you like it? This idea came to me when I saw "the girl" lying in the clearing in my head. And I just had to write it down. ^^ And I'm pretty sure you can guess who's POV this is. Well, tell me what you think!

P.S: Also, I just recently found out that Rumiko Takahashi is a girl. ^^,
