Intro
How long has it been? I'm not sure. I don't remember anything….My name is Alana…..I have no family or friends. I'm a half Fox Demon/ Half Priestess. I've been shunned through out my whole life and what for might you ask; for being a half breed…..filthy blood they call me….disgusting to the point of no redemption…..yet I am a priestess who watched Kikyo fall to the man she loved and yet I doubt Inuyasha betrayed her…..what if he did though who am I to say….that's over now ancient history just as I am. I am not respected nor planted in the memories of any one…..I think that people are to judgmental…not all demons are mean look at some of them. If they were all evil Kikyo would never have fallen…nor would have Inuyasha's mother….or a multiple of other humans…..I travel with no one; I have to protect myself…..Who then shall let me pass with out attacking me? I am not certain maybe I will find some one out there who understood. Like Bankotsu before he fell…..Maybe everything will be ok.
Part 1
I was running through the forest when I saw the girl who every one was saying was the reincarnation of Kikyo….she looked pathetic not even worth my time….Kikyo was the only priestess who ever excepted me for who I was….Looking at this girl I knew she was not Kikyo….she was not my best friend.
"Alana you quit hiding in the damn shadows you worthless priestess" Inuyasha says and I growl.
He has no consideration for any one, but himself the arrogant son of a demon….At least his pure bred brother Sesshomaru had a little decency…..That's when my eyes latch on to the sword….I was late on catching up with them.
No one ever keeps a halfa informed on things…..so Inuyasha really had defeated his brother.
"Oh I see your not as worthless as I thought Inuyasha." I say darkly.
I get a look from the girl who seems like she's ready to run when Inuyasha says the words….then she notices the bow on my shoulder.
"Are you good at archery?" she asks.
The girl had to ask if I was good at archery? I was a priestess of course I was I helped Kikyo protect the shikon no tama. I was one of the best archers and only Kikyo saw my potential only Kikyo understood. I could see the jewel to. I know it's kinda strange that a half demon such as myself can see a jewel that only pure souls see, but I can….Maybe I was meant to be human I know I wish I would of found away to become full human so bad. I wanted a normal life….I wanted to live with Bankotsu. Yet here I am a halfa and staring at freaking Inuyasha.
"Girl I am one of the best archers you will ever know!" I snap.
"She guarded the Shikon No Tama before Kikyo and then continued to guard it when it was handed over to Kikyo." Inuyasha tells the girl who looks at me funny.
"Is she half demon like you Inuyasha?" she asks.
"Yes you idiot don't you see the damn fox ears she keeps concealed?" Inuyasha snaps and I chuckle not really caring what he has to say next.
After all I did have Silver fox ears and midnight blue eyes with silver inside them….I also had black hair….not normal I know, but it marks me as one of a few priestesses.
"You broke the jewel spreading jewel shards through out this land young priestess….that caused me to come find you….I am not any ones favorite person, but at least you will have a priestess who is a good shot….except I won't be around as often as you like…is it a deal?" I ask the girl.
"yes and by the way my name is Kagome….will you be following us today?" she asks
"unfortunately no I have someone to meet." I say and I know the glint is in my eyes…..especially with the dark look Inuyasha gave me.
"let me guess…..Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha snarls.
I smirk and say softly, "I won't let you know Inuyasha….Kikyo's very own bane."
Part 2
Inuyasha glares at me and I just smirk walking away….Sesshomaru would be a hard person to find, but I would find him especially when I got his arm…this is so funny.
"Alana" I hear a cold voice and turn to see Naroku.
Bastard where did he come from? I have an idea what he's after.
"What do you want Naroku? I should tare you apart." I growl.
Naroku laughs a cold dark laugh and I shoot an arrow straight for his heart….the bastard disappears before it hits and this arrow embeds in a tree just inches away from the chest of Sesshomaru.
"Lord Sesshomaru how long have you been standing there?" I ask.
"Long enough…where's my arm?" He says looking at me darkly.
I had been employed by Sesshomaru to retrieve his arm or find him another arm compatiable with his body. I stare at him then pull the arrow out of the tree my body just barely brushing his. His eyes grew cold and he looked angry and I just smirked at him.
"Carefully Sesshomaru I'm not an ordinary half demon. I am also the half demon who traveled with Bankotsu….I've been around for a while." I say and he glares darkly at me.
Who in their right minds would stand up to Sesshomaru? Inuyasha maybe.
"So your brother really did defeat you and all for a girl who's suppouse to be Kikyo's reincarnation…How pathetic. Maybe your not as strong as you seem." I jibe at him and he grabs a hold of my neck slaming me into the tree. His poison claws reach towards me and I sigh.
"Poison claws and killing me won't help you retrieve your arm now will they. I have no arm for you but I do know something you don't. My power is far more better than what you search for. Only I won't just let you use my power….You will first have to proove you are worth it." I say.
"Your frustrating me you filthy half demon. I wanted my arm not a freaking power you possess. Your pissing me off." Sesshomaru growls and I knee him. He releases me and I turn on my heel and walk away my dark hair flying out behind me and softly brushing his chest. He glares, but I don't care. Off to find Inuyasha.
Part 3
Sesshomaru has some nerve calling me a filthy half breed. I know I'm a halfa, but do people have to point it out every time they get a chance?
The power I possess for Sesshomaru will grow back his blasted arm, but I guess he doesn't want that he wants a new one. Stupid full demon. If only Inuyasha knew I was working with him and his brother. He would be pissed off for sure. What also unnerved me was Naroku was after the jewel and the five jewel shards I already possess. He ran away so he's biding his time…he's testing me….the problem is I can take it all…I saw the only man I ever loved get his head chopped off….All that just because he was a mercenary. An assassin out to kill people for profit and who ever hired them. It wasn't the best thing ever. I miss Bankotsu every day and yet here I am working for people just like he did only I don't kill. I don't understand anything any more.
"Where's Kagome Inuyasha?" I ask as I walk into Keade's hut..
"She went home to get a few things….this is Shippo by the way." Inuyasha replies in a leave me alone kind of way.
"Hi Shippo….Lady Keade you are looking well…May I ask where to find the herbs I will need on my journey?" I ask
"Oh well they're every where dear Alana….What I might ask thee is why thy are here in the village that run thee out." Keade says.
"Oh that…well the Shikon No Tama being shattered brings me here….the girl needs help…real help." I answer.
A sad look passes my face and Inuyasha looks at me funny.
"Oh yes thee would be brought back here then. Where have thee been? I have not seen thy around at all….since my sister's death." Keade replies.
"Kikyo was the only thing that kept me here; she treated me like I belonged. In the end I wasn't here to save her from her death. I blame myself for that. Just as much as I blame Naroku for the fall of both Inuyasha and young Kikyo. I will not rest until that bastard is burried in a ten thousand foot grave never to return again." I snarl.
Inuyasha stares at me and says, "Who the hell is Naroku!"
"You will find out on your own Inuyasha." I say and stare at Kagome.
"Hi I'm back again." She says
"Yes here Kagome I came to give you this. It's a bow forged from the fangs of a long lost demon." I say softly handing her my second bow…..she would not be a good shot but at least she had a bow.
"Thy can keep it here Kagome." Keade says and Kagome hands her the bow. Keade places it some where, but I see Inuyasha look at me….It was the bow I used so many years ago to slay a demon that had tried to kill Kikyo.
"You have a new one don't you?" Inuyasha askes staring at the silver bow slung around my shoulder and the quiver of arrows on my back.
"Yes, but I cannot stay any longer I have things to do. Oh by the way, Kagome whatever you do make sure you protect your jewel shards with your life." I say softly.
Then I walk out on ward to the unmarked graves of my lover and his band of brothers. I would never see him again and I'm sure I can move on soon, but I want to survive a long trial with Sesshomaru. Before I do that I want to show Sesshomaru that I'm not as bad as I seem.
