Waiting
for a sign, a sign for relief from the hard men ship that been
cowering over the mines that lay to the west of the land of the great
dog demon. With his two sons fighting to the east against Naraku,
people mine on their land. Only one girl helps with the mining in the
land, that one girl get torture though the time, wanting to be free
of that man that made her a slave. Kage, the southern mountain tribe
chief, had made his sister go to a man that would torture. The man
had made a promise that once she is old enough she would be his
bride, even though she is a Wolf Demon. For now he was her master.
Geisha let her brother, Kage, say he would give her up, even though
times were rough at the moment in the south. The northern wolf tribes
have been coming down to attack them. Except the prince of the tribe
been gathering shikon jewel shards and fighting the demon, that
disowns all.
"Geisha, get up here now! We must get this
mining done before dawn."
Sweat gathered down her face as she
climbed the mountain toward the man. His whip was ready for her if
she didn't listen. Once she got there, he pointed to a pile of rumble
that had fallen earlier that day. A sigh slipped out of her lips as
she walked over to it and started to pick at it. She had to used her
hands for the picking; no man would let a girl touch a pick
axe.
Geisha kept going at the mining until the warning alarm went
off. Turning toward where it was, she saw that a dark cloud was
forming over their heads. Her ear wiggle and her nose went to work to
scent what was coming their way. Odd, it isn't a storm but a demon.
Could it be the demon that belongs to this land? Getting up, she
covered her eyes to see the dark cloud; however the man whipped his
whip at her, hitting her back and making it bleed. Going back to
work, Geisha had silent tears going down her face while she worked.
The alarm went off again, this time it stayed. The man turned toward
the black cloud that was forming over them to see a little hole
swirling in the sky.
"What in all gods might is that?"
His face was distortion with furrow, for he knew this would stop the
mining. Geisha stopped anyways no matter what. Getting way from the
man, she ran down the hill to get a view from the bottom.
"Oh
my!"
Swirling down was a man with bones and a blue suit came.
Geisha started to go back up the mountain, when she heard men
screaming and arrows from all over started shooting at the man with
bones. A woman soon went flying by with a feather and took out some
fans and swirled them at the men. A twister came towards them and
knocked half the men off the Mountain. Geisha just stayed in her area
and watched as this happen. Each man went fighting on but died. These
are demons alright, but what kind? Jumping to the ground she leaned
against the mountain to see what the demons would do.
The woman
one kept flying around in a circle looking for something. The man
kept floating in mid air staring at something. Geisha didn't notice
that a demon was right in front of her.
"Well, well, what do
we have here?"
"Huh?" Looking down finally, she saw
a child that was pale with white hair, two actually. One was holding
a baby as the other held on to a Hal blade. Both were staying at
Geisha, but didn't move.
The woman that was flying around in a
circle went flying down and landed by the two pale figures. Speaking
to them, she turned to see Geisha. Putting her fans away, the woman
turned back to the other two.
Her eyes are shed with blood for
color! Those children look dead! No emotion at all!
Geisha was
lost in her thoughts she didn't notice that the man had came down and
stood right by her. Staring at her, not making a sound or movement,
he stood there. Geisha kept thinking until a little shiver went down
her spine.
"You're a wolf demon, are you not?"
"Yes,
I am." Finally turning toward the man, she shivered in fear. I'm
just a little girl, please let me life! She thought to herself.
"What
tribe?"
"I'm from the tribe of the South. Why do you
ask?" Shivers still went down her back as she watched the man
walk to the group.
"I'm just wondering, for whom do you
belong to, and why are you here?" He asking so much, what does
he want?
"I was traded to a man that was on the mountain, and
I was supposed to marry him, but I do not wish to."
"I
hate to say, he now dead. I had killed all the men on that mountain.
Do you know it well?"
"Maybe, maybe not, who knows if I
know it well." Staring at the man that stood in front of her,
Geisha started to scoot away from him. The male child walked behind
her after a while. Making sure she didn't get away. What is that they
want? These mountains belong to some one else, not me. Closing her
eyes, she let a sigh slip out of her lips when a breeze enters the
atmosphere. She wiggled her wolf ears to open her eyes. Looking
straight into the woods, she saw a figure that wore a white kimono
and had sliver hair. A moon crescent was on the figures forehead,
with some strips on his cheeks.
"Well, I wasn't suspect you
do be back so soon, Lord Sesshomaru."
That is Lord
Sesshomaru!? He looks so calm at ease, and I thought that Dog demons
were weary and frightful.
"Naraku, what have you done to
those men that were placed in the mountains?"
"I killed
them of course, how else would I be just standing around."
Geisha
kept staring at Sesshomaru as he started walking past the woman, the
girl, and the baby. The boy stayed right behind her. Sesshomaru
didn't even notice that Naraku was speaking with Geisha. He just
stepped in her way, to face Naraku.
"You know the penalty for
entering my domain. Leave now and you won't get hurt."
Naraku
laughed, and turned toward the woman. Motion his hand, she nodded and
lifted off on her feather with the girl and the baby. As she started
to lift off, the boy jumped into the feather. Naraku soon started to
float into midair and disappeared. Sesshomaru stood there staring
into the sky where Naraku had disappeared. Geisha thought it was a
good idea to head back to where she belonged.
Starting to the
south, Geisha was stopped by Sesshomaru. Some how he had became in
front of her in a second. His eyes were digging into her thoughts as
they stared. "You're from the wolf tribe of the south, are you
not?"
"Yes..."
"I wouldn't go down there,
for they all died. Naraku had killed them for a piece of the Shikon
Shard."
That thing...as I suspected he knows of it, but still
I don't understand.
"I must, for it is my homeland, and I
have no other place to go." Turning toward the forest, Geisha
started again, however Sesshomaru stepped into her way again. She
side past him, he moved in front of her once more.
"Is there a
reason you step in my way, sir?" Geisha looked Sesshomaru straight
into his eyes.
"I will not allow you to escape this land, now
that you are on it." Sesshomaru stared straight back.
A growl
started to slip out of her lips, but she was smack in the back.
Falling to the ground, she turned to see a small imp behind her.
Glaring her eyes at him, she started to growl once more. Soon a
little girl came walking with a two headed dragon. Geisha stopped
growling and looked at the little girl. She stood up and kept staring
at the girl. Is this girl with Lord Sesshomaru?
Confused, she went
over to a boulder and sat. Looking at the little girl still, Geisha
went into though. Why does he have a human? They are such horrible
creatures…how can he handle a little one? Still looking at the girl
and than she got bonged on the head.
"Ow…ya' know, that
hurt." She turned to see the imp with his staff. She glared at him,
with her dark purple eyes gazing into his yellow.
"I would like
you to stop glaring at me." The Imp looked at her but then turned
away.
Sesshomaru stood there as the three got acquainted with each
other, even though the little girl didn't speak, Geisha kept
getting acquainted.
This girl…she is part of the wolf tribe…but
I do not know if I can trust her.
A slight breeze blew and
Sesshomaru saw that the girl was hiding something from him. On her
next was a mark…a mark of the South Star, a star that never seen in
the sky. It was a rare mark to be place on such a creature. How can
such a girl, especially from the wolf tribes, have a mark such of
that? It signifies great power with in the owner of the mark. Walking
over, he grabbed her neck to get a better look.
"Hey!" Geisha
struggled on how he grabbed her neck.
"This mark…have you had
it since birth?" Sesshomaru asked still staring at the mark.
"Yeah,
get off me now!" She said annoyed.
Sesshomaru let go of her neck
and patiently waited for her to get the feeling back. When she did,
she once more brought her piercing dark purples into a glare. Getting
up, she turned to go north.
"I will go north then; I will find
someone to take me in." She seemed a bit tactic with it.
"I
wouldn't do that neither." Sesshomaru finally turned to her, his
eyes filled with concern. I can't just let her go into a dangerous
zone; she seems to be willing to live. "You may join me."
Stopping
in her steps, she stood there, looking at the ground. Her eyes
flicker for a sec than became wide. Turning her shoulder, she spoke
softly, no one could speak. A simple word came out…the imp and the
girl…they tried to listen, but couldn't…only Sesshomaru
could.
"You dare…take me in, after how I treated you?" The
whisper became into the wind and blew toward Sesshomaru's ears. He
nodded and looked at her with sincere eyes, never wanting to let go.
Her posture was something. She stood as if she was a dog demon, not a
wolf demon. He could feel her heart as a dog demon…not a wolf. Is
she really a wolf demon? Thought would flow through his head at the
thought.
When she saw Sesshomaru standing there, she almost went
into tears. The sight of him made her think of her father, a great
leader of the Southern Wolves. Sesshomaru remind her so much of him.
Walking over to him slowly, she slumped as she walked. Her dark
purple eyes became light purple, her eyes shined. She kept going
towards him until she was straight in front of him. Wrapping her arms
around his waist, she cries silent. Sesshomaru stood there
peacefully, not a care in the world. Is this how my life supposes to
turn out, harmful but safe at the same time? Is this what was suppose
to happen to me? Is this my fate? Falling silent, nothing in the
world would break such a bond that was to happen…a bond that was
suppose to be connected long ago…a bond between a family that was
unknown to anyone…
