Nightmares
Screaming, darkness and death. That's all that could be heard or seen all around her. Bodies fall to the floor in lakes of hot blood as she tries to scream, unsuccessfully. She opens her mouth to try to scream again, but to no avail; her voice seems lost. She tries yet again to cry out for her mother, but she's nowhere to be found. The small girl looks up, hot tears streaming down her delicate features, to see a bright light attacking a monster. She watches in awe as the somehow familiar light fights the embodiment of destruction that has laid waste to her home by sending hordes of bloodthirsty demons to slaughter her people.
She jumps, startled out of her daze as another person is thrown onto the ground. But this one is not lifeless. Her eyes widen as she recognizes the fallen one. She tries to speak their name, but only a small breath escapes her parted lips.
"... prin... cess... you must... escape..." The figure groans in a faint female voice.
It seems the woman had taken in her last breath as a horned demon jumps down from the tower above in all its chaos and beheads the poor soul with a big war axe. Blood splatters on the small child as she falls back, horrified at the scene. The demon pulls its axe from the ground and stomps toward the little girl. He swings his mighty weapon as the girl finally finds her voice to let out a scream just before…
Sayuri woke up screaming in a cold sweat. She looked around her frantically, expecting something to finish what her dream had predicted. Finding nothing but an empty room, she sighed and tried to control her heart from beating out of her chest. She gently brushed some of her long golden-brown hair out of her face that had become slightly tangled because of her unconscious tossing and turning.
She held her head for a moment after calming her heart, reminding herself that it was just a dream.
'Or was it?' She wondered. She had been having the same or similar dreams a lot as of late... since her grandfather died three months before. She missed him greatly; he was the one who taught her everything she knew, including martial arts, which had helped her out on more than one occasion.
Her sky-blue gaze turned its attention out of her second story window to see that it was still dark out with some stars. She glanced over to the alarm clock radio that rested on the nightstand next to her bed, next to a small table lamp.
"4:03am." She sighed, still tired but knowing she would have to get up in about two hours and if she went back to sleep now, she wouldn't wake up in time, even with the alarm set for 6:00.
"Thank God it's Friday," she muttered, rubbing her eyes to try and wake them. She didn't mind school, it was the fact that she had to get up so early that bothered her. After all, she was a straight A student, never receiving a grade under a 94. She barely studied, but still managed to receive a good grade. She understood everything the teacher told her and had a sort of photographic memory when it came to some things.
Something jumped on Sayuri's leg and startled her out of her thoughts. She formed light around her hand quickly and discovered… It was her adorable little kitten, Toru. She let her power go and turned on the small lamp instead, still trying to catch her heart. She looked at her hand for a moment, as if studying it. She had always wondered about her powers that she still had yet to fully control and understand. She had the power to control the Light element at will and was stronger than a normal 17 year old girl should be; she could lift a few hundred pounds without hurting herself, and she could trigger the strength when she needed it. The only person to ever know about her powers was her grandfather, Kyo, and it seemed that he had powers as well.
Before her grandfather died, he gave her a perfect-looking white rose. He transformed it into a beautiful silver bracelet with a rose design on it. He had said to never take it off, along with the silver necklace with a fairly small light bluish-white tear hanging from it that she has had since she could remember. He said he was going to tell her more about her powers and her "history" the next day. Sadly, he died before her could. For some reason, even with her strength, she could never take that necklace off if she tried. It always brought comfort to her, though.
Toru rubbed up against her as he purred, waking her out of her thoughts yet again. She smiled softly and petted the black and white kitten gently. She stretched for a moment as a small sigh escaped her pink rose-colored lips.
"I hope today turns out better than it started…"

Daybreak was coming soon as the sky turned a pinkish-orange. A tall figure stood watching the beautiful event, seeming deep in thought as always as his golden-amber eyes stared with indifference to the horizon. It was quiet; no cars, no busses, no buildings. It was in the years of the feudal era.
The wind danced softly with the feudal lord's long silver-white hair as he glanced back to a little sleeping figure that rested comfortably next to the twin-headed dragon youkai, Au-Un and the toad youkai, Jaken. The little girl stirred for a moment, seemingly having a nightmare.
"...Mommy..." she mumbled, just loud enough for the great Inu Daiyoukai to hear her.
That's the end of chapter one! I'll get chapter two up as soon as possible. (I'm having internet trouble). Please, R&R! n.n
