Forbidden love

Chapter 1

The sun was creeping its first rays over the horizon. Everything was normal within the village. Kikimaru hade been taking her early walk to see if every thing was ok and peaceful. Kikimaru was the head of the castle in the near by city, ok not the head but she would take the throne after her father died.

She lived in the village and acted like a priestess, who heals the sick and wounded. Her ability to heal illnesses, fractured bones and even gives back a person's arm or leg if lost in battle, has made her popular with the people.

Kikimaru wore a white robe that looked like Sesshomaru's but light blue instead of red, and she had white pants that matched. She did not were much armor, because she did not need it. She was too fast and so skilled that she didn't even carry a sword. She wore two obis one was just plain purple that was tied into a bow behind her, and the other was tied like Sesshomaru's in the front. Her light golden hair was tied back so it didn't get in her way. On her forehead she had a crest of a golden sun. On her cheeks she had light blue stripes, which went down from the bottom of her eyes to the bottom of her face. She also has pointed ears that had earrings of a raindrop on each of them. She had a tail that was the same light gold as her hair, with a little white at the end like a fox.

Wile Kikimaru walked she was thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow would be her birthday. She was wondering if she would see her father at the castle since she never really got to see him much. She was usually caught up in something like a battle or had to help the village. She really didn't like to help the humans but since they lived near the city that she learned to live that way.

The next day Kikimaru set out to the castle. It was an easy hour walk so she didn't worry too much. The walk in the woods was peaceful; she didn't have to hear someone calling her name for help or a battle. She did run into some bandits that mistook her for a human, but those people to her were just like squishing a small bug.

Upon arrival Kikimaru looked to see what was different, not much had changed. Neko people did a daily life routine of shop keeping, filling up inns with travelers, children playing and farmers working in the fields.

Kikimaru walked right up to the front gate and was stopped by two guards. "Stop, what is your propose with the lord of the northern lands?"

"I am Kikimaru, the lord's daughter. I wish to see my father if you don't mind?" she said back to them with a harsh glare.

The two guards took her to the lord as commanded and left. Kikimaru then smiled and hugged him as if seeing him for the first time in her life. Then they both sat down on the pillows near a table with tea.

Kikimaru started to sip her tea when her father spoke. "Kikimaru it has been some time now. Why have you not come to see me in a while?"

Kikimaru put her tea down. "I have been helping the village with problems of sickness and war." She said, and then went back to sipping her tea.

"Kikimaru, I have something on my mind that's been bothering me." He said. "Yes what is it father?" she asked back with confusion on her face. "Why is it that every time you come to visit, you don't bring along your husband?" Kikimaru then started to choke on her tea, coughing for air and finally getting her voice back. "Father don't be so funny I'm not married, what made you think that?"

Her father got up and signaled for a servant to come over to him. The two whispered in each other's ear, while Kikimaru tried to listen. The conversation was over before she could put all the bits and pieces together. Kikimaru shot up so her father wouldn't know that she was listening on the conversation.

"Kikimaru I have the perfect solution for a suitable husband, and I would like you to meet him." He said. Kikimaru always thought that no man was perfect for her unless she found him, and the guy that her father chose was one of those that were good but could do better. He was tall, blond hair that was fairly long; he had a face that could send a mob of girls flying right at him. His eyes were a piercing blue. He was also the best warrior in the city, and her father thought that he was perfect for her.

Even though he was handsome and someone you would die for, Kikimaru didn't like him at all. His thoughts were the complete opposite; he thought he had just met a goddess in person. He walked right up to her and said, "Please forgive me but I thought you were a heavenly being when I first saw you. My name is Takeshi."

The only thing that Kikimaru was thinking of was, "great father got me a suck up or the village idiot". She just sighed and grabbed her father and pulled him into the courtyard.

When they got to the courtyard Kikimaru spoke, "father I appreciate all this but I'm not marring that…" she was cut off by her father. "Kikimaru, you will marry him for the sake of the family and to take my position as lady of the lands when I die." He said in a harsh tone. "I came here to visit my father on my birthday and tried to have a nice time, but no I come here to get lectured that I am not married and end up getting a guy that is not even good enough to be called my servant." Kikimaru said that to him getting tears in her eyes. Without even thinking she took off.

Kikimaru was so blinded by her tears that she didn't see the shadowy figure in the tree watching her as she left. After she was gone, he jumped down from the tree and started to walk into the city. This man was wearing a white baboon pelt that covered his face and body. He just laughed as he walked slowly into the city as any traveler would.

As he walked in to the city, nekos at first hand knew that he was a half-demon but different then the normal ones. They continued their doings but talked about the strange person. They commented and moved away for they were afraid that if they touched him they would become infected with a virus.

Then as if out of nowhere, hundred's of demons poured over the cities walls, like water. The nekos ran in fear of death, many hid from the creatures but were found and slaughtered. The whole army came to fight the demons but they were out numbered ten demons to one neko.

Kikimaru had found a cave that started under a big tree; she had climbed under the protruding roots and sat near the entrance. The cave was about half way between the city and the village where she would usually live, this cave was about a good mile or two until it came to an end that led out or it just stopped.

Kikimaru had finished wiping the last tear from her eyes and began to think of how she could manage to go back without fighting her father again. She didn't really want to get into another fight about her unmarried life. So she just sat there head resting on a tree root looking at little things that went by.

Naraku was ignoring everything around him, he was only interested in one thing and that was at the castle. He walked to the castle gate and laughed while scooping up jewels in his hands, the jewels were glowing. "It's here," he said. He walked through the gate up to the castle.

When Naraku got to the castle he looked for the lord, he sensed him near the courtyard and he headed there. When he got there he saw him running with a few guards to safety. The guards spotted Naraku and got ready to fight.

Naraku just grabbed the lord with one of his green tentacles and held him to his face. The guards charged at him and were about to strike but were attacked from behind. Naraku just laughed at them and focused his attention back to the lord. "You have something that I want." He said to the lord.

Naraku put his hand on the lord neck and pulled out two jewel shards, he then put them with the others he had been playing with earlier. He then dropped the lord on the ground and left. As Naraku left, the demons left as well leaving the city with fires that were out of control and many nekos dead.

The lord rolled on the ground holding his neck trying to stop the bleeding. He was scared now that the jewel shards were gone. They had been there to help prevent his sickness from getting worse. This sickness had already taken the life of Kikimaru's mother, and now with the jewel shards gone he would die within a week or so.

Kikimaru had decided to go back to the city she would just have to live with another fight if it happened. She was still lost in her thoughts when, BAM! She had run into something or someone. She fell backwards and said, "Ouch".

She jumped back to her feet and dusted her self off. "Pardon me, I was not looking were I was going." Said the man in a white baboon skins, acting innocent of what he had just done back at the city.

Kikimaru moved out of the way to let him by, she had a weird feeling about him. 'I will have to remember his scent', she said to her self. Then continued with going back to the city. On her way back there was this smell in the air it was a mixture between smoke and demon blood.

Kikimaru jumped to get a better view of where the smell was coming from. When she was over the trees she looked around and then she saw it, it was the city on fire. As soon as she touched to ground she ran to the city and was there in ten to fifteen seconds tops.

Kikimaru ran slower through the city, passing bodies and demons that were still alive. She used her sharp claws to kill the remaining invading demons. But if she didn't see trouble while heading for the castle she didn't do anything.

When she got to the front door of the castle she tried to sense her father's presence. She couldn't get a where about with all the blood in the air and dead bodies around. She looked all through the castle while calling his name.

"Father?" she called, but she got no response. Running through every room, opening all the secret spots that only she and her father knew about. She and her father would always play hide and seek. They both knew the good hiding spots, but this game if hide and seek was not fun at all. She called again, "Father? Where are you?" still no answer. She decided to look in the courtyard.

She went to the courtyard because that was the last place that she was with him. When she got there, she looked around and she found him rolling on the ground holding his neck. She was happy he was not dead; she put him on his back and said a spell to heal the wound in his neck. When she was done she stepped back to let her father breath.

When her father finally regained his breath Kikimaru asked, "Who did this? Why did they do it? What did they want?" Kikimaru was angry, she wanted answers right away. "We don't know what the man's name is but he wore a white baboon pelt to cover his true looks." Her father said.

The man in the woods that Kikimaru had run into, she had a feeling that he was different and he was hiding something.

Her father continued, "His purpose of coming here was to get the jewel shards in my neck, that's why I was bleeding just a moment ago. The jewels had the power to keep me living for these few years. Kikimaru I have to tell you this but I have the sickness your mother had and I will die soon, now that the shards are gone."

Kikimaru had a look of horror on her face. Her father was dieing, just like her mother did. Kikimaru was only a small Neko when her mother died, it was horrible, she and her mother were like best friends. Now her father's life was slowly fading. Kikimaru couldn't help but start to cry.

Kikimaru got up and decided to help the city put out the fires and see who was still left alive. While Kikimaru was working she was searching through her memory of all the sicknesses she could heal; she was thinking that maybe that she could heal him and save his life. But she would really know if it works or not, until he lives the few weeks. She was going to try everything she knew.

That night, all the fires had been put out and most of the nekos who survived were living in the servant's corridors at the castle. At least until they rebuilt the homes. Others were helping bury the ones who had died. Sadly all the nekos in the army died, even Takeshi; Kikimaru was free from the marriage that her father had arranged.

Kikimaru was at the castle, eating her dinner (well moving it around on her plate). She was still thinking about what she was going to do for her father, and how she was going to heal his sickness. The silence was broken when her father spoke.

"Kikimaru." She didn't move let alone look up. "Kikimaru. You have not touched your food, what's the matter?" he asked. "I have been thinking, I haven't the faintest clue if it would work but I might be able to cure you father. I wouldn't even know if it worked or not until you live the next few weeks." Her father had a gleam of happiness in his eyes.

They both got up and moved into the main sleeping chambers, which is her fathers' room. Kikimaru told her father to lie down on the futon, he did and she sat next to him with her legs tucked under her. She was about to use her strongest healing powers to heal him, this was the same healing she used to regenerate a leg or an arm to a person.

She reached for a pouch in her pocket that held the main ingredient for the healing power. She pulled one out, it was a stoned raindrop like the ones she has hanging off her earrings. Like her earrings she made these stones, but they were different, they were the real things. She made them by standing in the rain and chanting a spell while she catches the drops in her hands, when the drops touch her hands they turn hard like a stone.

With the stone she placed it on her fathers' throat and slowly forced it in under the skin. After that she put her hands together and began to pray and chant the spell of healing in her head, she slowly unfolded her hands and a crystal colored light formed in her hands. With the light she placed that above her father and let it fall though into his neck along with the raindrop. Kikimaru opened her eyes and hoped it just works, she got up and told a servant that he won't wake up for two days and she left for her room.

Two days have gone by, Kikimaru is still around she has not left to find Naraku yet. She was making sure that her father was acting like his normal self before she left. Seeing that he was doing fine, she packed a few things for spells and some herbs for medicines.

When she was done packing she went to see her father, he was in the courtyard sitting on the ground next to the pond watching the fish as they swim. "Father I'm leaving now, I don't know when I will be back." She said with her heart broken like he was already dead. "You need to send someone to find me if you don't live then I will forget my whole travel and come home. Okay?" she said hugging him. "No sooner or later, I promise." He said back. With that she left and didn't look back until she was outside the city limits.
