Ok well first off is the disclaimer. I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. Thank you for reading my first fan fiction. I have made many stories before but not with actual existing characters. But not to worry! I hope you guys like it~! Oh! before I forget. Akahana means "Red Rose" which is why it's called A Rose's Thorn.
(Oh and could you review it? I want your honest opinion but nothing TOO cruel okzy? Lol)
He destroyed my village, my friends, my family. He stripped me of all my pride. He has left me in the cold and darkness for the longest time. When he showed me the light once again he made me do his bidding. Every fiber in my being says I need to kill him. But my heart… I can't bring myself to do it.
"Naru!" Akahana ran up to he favorite friend.
He smiled at the little girl and embraced her in a warm hug. To her, he always smelled like the earth. It was a familiar smell and she felt safe when engulfed in his scent. He was tall and handsome. His long, wavy, black hair shined in the light and his brown eyes were always so kind.
"How is my Hana today?" His voice always sent jitters down her spine.
"I played by the river today and I found this pretty stone." She took a black and blue speckled stone out of the small pouch she always carried. He smiled at her.
"It's beautiful."
"Naru? Why don't you ever come during the day?" It was true. Only when the moon was high did he come and visit her.
"Where is this coming from?" His face became confused.
"Well, if you came during the day we could play together…"
"I'm sorry, but that's something I can't do."
"But why?" His eyes became sympathetic at her plea.
"I-I can't say why. But I can tell you the reason why I come here."
"Ok…?"
"I come here for you. I have watched you grow up since the day you were born. And I can't seem to go away. I wish I could be here for you day and night, but I just can't." His eyes were sincere and earnest. "I must go."
"But you just got here! I'm sorry if I mad you mad!" She tugged at his silk robe. He grinned at her.
"I need to take care of something. Don't worry, it's not you. The whole reason I came today was to tell you I won't be here for a while." And he slipped off without a sound.
It had been a whole three months and Akahana started to become frantic. He had left before but not for this long. She wandered her village in search for something to do, but there was nothing. Suddenly, while everyone was asleep, all the rooftops in the village started to burn. Akahana awoke to screams of her mother and father who were being burned alive right next to her. Their flesh was being melted away in front of the poor girl's eyes. Even though she wanted to scream, nothing moved past her lips. Quickly, she dashed for the river. As she rushed out her house she saw a familiar face.
He stood on the top of her roof top with a glare of death over the town. His eyes danced with the flames and his lips cocked into an evil grin. His once beautiful hair was now in a frenzy and seemed to be moving by itself. His eyes were cold and cruel. Akahana was scared by her once most beloved person. She ran as fast as she could toward the river like her first plan. But now the new plan was trying to get away from him.
Before she got to the slope that lead straight to the river, she stared at the village. It seemed nobody made it out their house. Tears uncontrollably fell down her cheeks. She fell to her knees and bawled. How could he do this? She wasn't even sure how he could, but she was sure he was the cause. Footsteps were coming closer to her and her whole body stiffened.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to say hello to me after our long separation?" His voice was like ice that hit your blood stream. She looked at him with her face full of tears and her vision blurry.
"Why, Naraku? Why?"
