Prologue
Author's Note- Okay, here is whatI think my best work yet is. I'm serious, even I was like... Woah, awesome. I'm not being selfish here, it's just the best thing I've ever written. I didn't cry or anything, but it's possible people will love it, like I hope you do.
Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha in any way. So please don't be hatin'.
Four demons and two humans with three babies are running for their very lives.
"Quickly!" One of the male demons whispered fiercely "We must find shelter or a hiding place, or the only thing we'll look forward to, is a spear through the heart. And I don't think any of us wish to have our lives taken yet." He had brilliant red hair that almost looked like it was on fire and it reached down to his knees, captivating turquoise eyes, and a smile that would make any mortal woman faint.
"Speak for yourself, Hatori. You're not the one who's trying to keep their baby from awakening and having our position found out!" One of the mortal women whisper even more fiercely. She had jet black hair that stopped at her chin, blue eyes that looked like deep rings of sky around her pupils, and the most stubborn attitude anyone could think of.
"Hoshi, please calm down. You'll wake the baby." Another male demon voice, this voice deeper, whispered. He had entrancing silver hair that was the same length as Hoshi's, orange eyes that resembled the color of a fox's fur, and was more up to reasoning than Hoshi by a landslide. The demon waited for a response.
"Please, don't look at me like that, Akira. It's making me relax."
"And you don't want to relax?" Akira asked.
"No."
"But that's not what your eyes say."
"My eyes? How can you look into my eyes at a time like this?"
"Simple, see? I'm doing it right now."
"I didn't mean it like that!"
"And you two are mates?" Another demon, this time female asked. She had dark blue hair that camouflaged perfectly in the midnight sky, silver eyes that looked like the moon was inside of them, and she always had unlimited confidence in herself.
"You stay out of this, Ai. This doesn't concern you."
"Actually, it does."
"How?" Hoshi asked.
"Because you're on the verge of yelling, waking our babies up, and giving away our position."
"What position? We're running!" Hoshi almost yelled.
"That's not what you said earlier." Akira reasoned.
"What? Is this gang up on Hoshi night or something?" Hoshi asked.
"You know? It just might be." Ai joked.
"Guys, please stop fighting. You know I hate it when you fight." The other mortal who is also female said. She had black hair that reached down to her shoulders, mud brown eyes that shone with utter beauty and kindness, and she always had a smile on.
"Yeah, we're sorry Cho. We don't mean to, it just comes naturally." Ai apologized.
"That goes double for Hoshi." The last male demon ground out. He had long unusual light brown hair that seemed to flow to the motions of his body, vibrant green eyes that resembled the scales of a water snake, and was the nicest demon to probably ever walk the earth.
"I agree with Senichi." Akira said. "But you two want to know something? You need to think of a name for your baby really soon, or you'll be calling it 'it' for the rest of your lives."
"Yes, thank you, Akira. Now we need to find a safe place to hide, like Hatori said. Or else we might be spending our last few ours watching each other die slowly and painfully."
"You two always make everything sound so pleasant." Ai said sarcastically.
"That's because we lived together for our entire childhood. Some things should stick with us." Senichi teased.
"Now isn't the time for small talk, everyone." Hatori said sharply.
"You're right, Hatori-kun." Ai agreed. "We should take shelter in that little hut over there."
"Ai, I could kiss you!" Hoshi praised.
"Let's not." Ai laughed nervously. When they reached the hut they found no one inside so they quickly went to the farthest room possible. "Okay, so what's the plan now?"
"If they come in, nobody make a sound. I will go out and try to reason with them-"
"And do you want to know why we didn't reason with them in the first place?" Hoshi asked. Senichi remained silent. "Because they had weapons… and they still do!"
"How do we know for sure if they won't even try and talk to us."
"I think that was settled when they started running at us and killing the others in the tribe for no apparent reason!" Hoshi was nearly to the point of screaming when she heard the door break down and loud roars of murder from the villagers.
"Senichi, no." Cho whispered.
"I must, Cho. I'm sorry."
"But I don't want to risk losing you." Cho was almost to tears.
Senichi sighed and said "Cho, if my life is taken tonight… I want you to look at the moon and think of me and this wonderful baby girl that we have brought into this world. And never forget, no matter what, that I will love you forever and for always even in my afterlife." And with that and a light kiss on Cho's lips, Senichi walked out to the angry mob of men outside the hut, bowed lightly as a token of respect, and said "Gentlemen, why do you wish to kill me and my comrades?"
"First tell us where the others are." One of them ordered.
"They are still running afraid for the lives of their babies." Senichi lied.
"Humph, a bunch of cowards they are. Not like you, you're stupid and stayed behind. Why?" The leader asked. If Senichi had a short temper, that guy would be almost to tears because of all the pain he has caused him and the others. In short the insults were inaccurate and should be corrected.
"Because, I wanted to reason with you. Is there something wrong with that?"
"Yes there is! You and your kind have been playing mind games with us, manipulating us, and are nothing but trouble."
"How so? My tribe has been nothing but loyal to you for the past seven hundred years, but I've only been alive for three hundred. And I can assure you no one I know would do something like that." Senichi reasons.
"Well one of you're kind has been doing it and saying that we're all going to die at your tribes hands. And we're not going to stop until all your pathetic race is wiped out."
"I would appreciate it if you would not use the insults while in my presence, please?"
"And why shouldn't I?"
"Because, I am of that pathetic race you speak of." Senichi retorts
"You know, I don't like your tone of voice. I should just kill you now."
"Sir, may I ask who was exhibiting such foul behavior?"
"No, you can't. But you already asked so…" And with that the guy took his sword and ran it through the demons heart and whispered something in his ear that isn't able to be heard by anyone else over Cho screaming Senichi's name (In other words they saw and heard the whole thing, except for the whisper part.). Senichi's eyes widen a fraction, and he says in his last breath "I swear to the Gods of the afterlife, that our children will kill you for the pain and suffering you have caused my tribe." The last thing to go through Senichi's mind is 'Please be safe, comrades.'
"Senichi, No!" Cho cried.
"Cho, shut up! Now we have to run, damn it!" Hatori snapped.
'What's gotten into him?' Ai thought to herself. They ran as fast as they can and they came across a royal demon and his son.
"Please sir… lord…… whatever you are, could you please help us?" Cho asked.
"What seems to be the problem?" the dog demon asked.
"We just need you assistance with the swords." Cho said.
"So you're asking me to kill someone for you?" All the demons looked at her quizzically.(even the younger demon.)
"No, not kill. We just need your swords."
"We? I have no clue what you're even doing!" Ai yells.
"I know that, but the only way to live and ensure our babies safety is this way. We have to teleport to somewhere else."
"And why do we need his help?" Akira asked.
"Because we need to do this enchantment with something that will last, like iron, cloth, swords." Cho said.
"Okay. Okay. Can we just hurry it up? I think I hear their footsteps getting closer." Ai rushed.
"Okay now, mister…" Cho asked.
"You may call me lord Inutaishou." The dog demon said.
"Lord of the Western lands?"
"Yes."
"Honor to meet you."
"Like wise. Now you are in a hurry I presume?"
"Oh, yes. How many swords do you have?"
"Two."
"We'll need at least three, but we'll improvise."
"Now run two lines going diagonally down in opposite directions." Inutaishou did so, and Cho ran her foot in a line connecting the two that the demon lord had just drawn. "On to the next thing, what are our babies' powers going to be?" Cho asked everyone.
"How should we know?" Hoshi asked.
"Make them cry."
"Wait. You mean to tell me, that after I've been trying so hard not to wake my baby up, that I have to wake my baby up!" Hoshi asked dumb struck.
"Seems like a good plan to me." Ai laughed. Hoshi glared at Ai.
"One of these days I'm going to kill you. I swear it will be dead in the night and you're sleeping, then I'll strike when you least expect it."
"And that's why we're friends!" Ai said. Hoshi just had a confused look on her face. "In other words, Hoshi, keep your friends close, your enemies closer."
"Ahhhh, I see."
"Well, don't just stand there, we need to wake them up." Akira interjected.
"Right, I'll go first." Cho said as she shook her baby. The baby began to cry and she woke up the other babies, after a while everyone was feeling hot from some unknown humidity, then everyone heard a tree fall to the ground and looks around to find that no one was there, and shortly following the humidity a sudden bolt of lightning burst out from the sky.
"Well, now that we know what our babies' powers are, can we please hurry things up, they are now closer than you know." Ai said hurriedly.
"Right." Cho said and mumbled some words that sounded like a spell, the only things you could hear were earth, light, and water. Pretty soon Cho had the teleportation field up and running. "Quickly!" Cho said. "We don't have much time, everyone get in-"
"Could we at least say goodbye to the Lord and his son? Not to mention at least thank him." Ai said hopeful.
"Okay but make it quick, even I can hear them coming now!" Cho snapped.
"Alright. Alright." Ai turned to Lord Inutaishou and said "Thank you, my lord, you don't know how much your help means to us." She then turned to the boy and said "You should be proud of your father, little one. For he has saved the last of the Telepathy Tribe"
"I am always proud of my father." The boy answered. "But now I am even more so."
Ai turned back to the father and said "Again, we thank you for your help. And your child is such a gentleman. He'll be grown before you know it." With a few bows of respect and wave of goodbye, the group stepped into the portal and was never seen again.
