Introducing my first yu yu hakusho fanfiction!
I will post the second chapter when one review is submitted.
Chapter 1
Amber scurried through the endless corridors of Roko's home. Roko was a rich man, in fact on of the richest in the city. He valued himself above all others and was a mysterious man. He wasn't a fat one that lugged around demanding preposterous things to be done for him. Roko was a demon. He ran the city with fear and with forcefulness. Everyone liked him except her.
In fact Amber was the only nigen there. Amber was a girl of 14 years of age. Long black tresses hung down almost to her waist flowing freely. Her eyes were a deep blue and her lips full. She was quite strong from working for him 4 years. But she was overworked and never rewarded, unless you call caring for Roko's pets a reward. It was a frightening job and she hated it more than her usual chores.
There was a giant serphant with black eyes, so black that it felt to one when they gazed at them that nothing would be right again. It was like a void of endless blackness. Also, the serphant tried to take a bite of her every time she tried to feed it. The other creature or creatures were dark pixies. They were also incredibly annoying creatures and had very sharp fangs. If one got too close they would sink their teeth into your arm almost like a vampire demon. It was a lonely horrible life she lived everyday.
Every morning she got up before dawn, made the morning meal and tended to Roko. She also had the job of avoiding other demons which lurked in the darkness. Roko's orders were that they leave her alone and he had made a point about that. One had tried to kill her once and he killed him publicly. All they could do was shout horrible words at her like vile nigen. She had gotten to a point where she was able to block it out but was still bothered. Amber's room was plain but had a pretty comfy bed and her few possessions were hidden under a floor board. Though she may have had a half descent bed she was miserable.
(Dark story eh?)
"Ember!" a voice echoed through the building.
Her ears perked up and she ran towards the voice. She dashed through the hallways and stopped at his doorway.
"Yes master?"
Roko turned and she saw his eyes flicker in anger. He slowly walked toward her and started to circle. "Do you know what I have heard?"
Amber didn't answer because he always answered his own questions.
"Another demon has informed me," he said slowly emphasizing the words, "that you have been sneaking out." He spat saying the last word.
"I would never," retorted Amber a tad bit too fast.
"I can see it in your eyes; you can hide nothing, from me Ember."
Amber gulped and he had her by the neck of her shirt in a flash. She was suspended about five feet into the air. He snarled and threw her to the ground. She braced herself for a beating but none came. Cracking an eye open, she peered up a hope. (Mean guy eh?)
"Oh, you will get beaten, but not now, later," and he dismissed her like that. She was thoroughly shaken as she walked down the corridor to her room. Amber had finished all her chores and sat on her bed lying on her back. She stared up at the ceiling, her mind wandering off to the fantasy world only she could escape to. Her breathing soon became steady and she had drifted off.
She was walking under the stars in an open field of lush grass. Every blade swayed back and forth making the field look like a sea rippling. A strange thing was that she never made a footprint. It was like she was walking on air just inches of the ground. Then she looked up. On a tall hill she could see what looked like fox ears. Having an interest she walked over and climbed to the top of the hill. Then without warning the ground collapsed under her feet and she was falling.
With that feeling like she was falling she sat up so quickly she almost jumped off the bed. She felt her brow and a coat of cold sweat covered it. She wiped off her brow and looked around. It was still day time and Amber breathed a sigh of relief. She wouldn't be terribly missed. Getting up and walking to the door she strode out. Judging by the moon it was an hour from mid-day meal. (It was always night there but the moon wasn't out during the night.)She hurried to the kitchens and had a meal prepared in about thirty minutes. That was good timing judging she needed about thirty more minutes for it to cool enough to eat. She leaned against the counter and remembered what life used to be before she was rudely shanghaied from her own home. She was sure her skin tone had paled quite a bit and wasn't sure she could be out under the sun again, or at least not without wearing a protective color.
It was a good thing there was lights in the houses or she would become a demon by staying in the dark too long she had thought. A single tear rolled down her check and she checked the sky. It was noon! She hurriedly took the meal and walked through the doors in a sophisticated matter to please him or not to anger him. As she approached the table though she noticed one thing missing and stopped abruptly. Roko was not at the table. When he did not attend any meal she knew he was out doing "business" with other demons. She turned back and walked into the kitchen placing the meal tray in the heater so it would be ready to get if he showed up late.
Amber walked out and sat on an open window ledge starring, mind again wandering off. Loud voices interrupted her thoughts and she listened intently.
"Roko, they are planning a raid I tell you!" a worried voice cried. "If we don't send defenses they will wipe out the whole city!"
"I am well aware of the danger we are in, you don't need to repeat yourself," he growled.
"I for one think we should try to evacuate," another voice said.
"The whole city?" one cried.
"All the demons" he said.
"How much time do we have?"
"About-"
But the man was cut off as Roko probably had silenced him. She gulped and hurried back to her room. Sitting on her bed she thought.
::What were they talking about? Who was attacking and is he just going to leave me here?:: she thought in horror.
As she sat there the attack began. A dozen or more kitsune attacked everyone in sight. They attacked ruthlessly leaving no one alive. They reached the town square and were greeted by Roko.
"Gentlemen, can't we have a chat?" he asked.
The kitsune growled and spoke. "We have no time for this worthless nigen"
"I am no nigen, to you I am master," he said boldly.
"A fight it is," growled the kitsune disappearing and speeding towards the man. In a flash he disappeared into the darkness. Roko came down above the kitsune and kicked him in the stomach sending him flying. He did a flip and landed sliding on his knees. With a cry of rage he raised the plants from the ground and shot them at Roko. His eyes widened as he had no idea of the power to control earth. He was held down by the numerous vines and the kitsune leered at him. "Goodbye worthless demon"
He cut him down and they spread through the rest of the town destroying leaving no life in their wake. Amber saw the destruction and covered her eyes in horror. They would come here; she knew it and she would be killed ruthlessly, without a second thought. Amber shed back into a corner on the concealed side of the bed. She hugged her knees to her chest and waited for the worst. The door to the main hall was heard being broken down and the pitter patter of feet echoed in her ears. Doors burst open through the hallways and she closed her eyes.
A hand gripped her shoulder so suddenly she flinched and another palm covered her mouth pulling her back into the wall. It was actually a black portal. Darkness surrounded her and she was engulfed.
Note – Roko is pronounced-
Ro (ro like road) ko (ko like coke)
( So it is Roko. )
Next chapter is coming soon. Please review.
