Chapter One

First and Last Impression

The air was tainted with the foul scent of blood and the desperate cries of villagers as they were mangled. They ran and cried, toppling over each other like headless chickens as they tried to avoid the rampage. Homes had come crumbling down, leaving clouds of dust in their mist while fires rose up to consume what was left of their comfortable houses. Families left each other behind while neighbors stampeded over the weak and injured. Hell had broken out on the small city and the devil himself laughed at its chaos.

The giant youkai growled out loudly as he trampled through another building. The wood felt like mere strands of hay beneath his large paws. He grinned with his long snout, barring sharp fangs that dripped with thick blood. His red eyes glistened with eagerness as they watched the ants squirm and panic. Humans were such funny little creatures. He licked his teeth lightly before prancing through the street.

"Leave this town alone!" a female voice yelled out.

Sesshoumaru stopped hearing the voice stand up to him and inwardly smirked at the rebellion. He turned steadily on his hind legs to face the female. A woman with long black hair and a stern gaze held him in place. He didn't suspect a priestess to be so bold these days but this woman looked quiet serious. He wanted to laugh as she drew up a bow and arrow and aimed it for him. She shot once and just as swiftly Sesshoumaru swept away the arrow with a graceful swish of his massive tail. With almost a cackle he turned his back to her to continue. He had no time to waste on her or this town. It was a fun distraction from his main goal but it had lasted long enough. He owed it to himself to occasionally remind all the humans where they stood in the youkai social order. He had learned this method from the best daiyoukai after all, his father.

"Kikyo!" another female came rushing over to the priestess. "You can't stop a demon this strong! Let's go!" pleaded Kaede desperately, not wanting to see her sister put in harms way on the behalf of a town that was not even their own. But Kikyo was never one to turn down assistance when it was truly needed. And she had an especially high dislike for demons that acted like they ruled the world.

"If I can't kill him…I'll curse him" Kikyo gritted loudly under breath. She pushed Kaede aside roughly and raced ahead after the beast. She aimed another arrow at the dog demon and shot. Sesshoumaru did not even give her a glance this time as the arrow hit his thick fur and fell to the ground. "You think you are so strong! You have no idea what power I have" Kikyo exclaimed. She pulled out a beautifully shining necklace from the safety of her kimono. A purple jewel glowed graciously in her grasp. She took another arrow and shot, this time a brilliantly shining ribbon of lighting following behind it.

The demon stopped short of the arrow, allowing it to pass before him. He growled lowly, turning his head back to her. She smiled lightly and before he could make assumptions of the situation she laced her fingers together with a chant to paralyze him. She knew she did not have much time to do this, being the strong demon would break free of the spell soon. She drew out a talisman and placed it on the demon's front left leg. Sesshoumaru hissed deeply as he started to tremble, already working to get himself free. Kikyo hastily spoke a chant.

"Kikyo!" Kaede screamed out again, see the demon slowly lower its head toward her. She raced over to her sister. But just as her final words left her lips the youkai snapped through the spell. He lunged his head forward, grabbing her with his fangs. "Kikyo!" Kaede cried desperately, seeing her sister pulled into the beast's mouth as he shook her and tossed her aside into a building. "You monster!" she yelled. Kaede rushed to the demon, grabbing a fall sacred arrow from the ground. She jumped up to its lowered head and shoved the small tip into his eye.

Sesshoumaru roared out, shaking the ground all around. He shook her away as well, his right eye now bleeding as sacred light burst from the arrow that remained. Without the demon's want his dog form vanished. The large claws melted away into elegant long fingers and his fearsome snout shrunk to a small nose. "You bitch" he exclaimed, jerking out the sacred arrow from his eye. He snarled looking to the young girl scooting back in the dirt in fear of her life. "An eye for an eye I say" Sesshoumaru snarled. He grabbed the girl by her collar and without haste shoved his poisoned talons into her left eye. He grinned proudly as he heard her helpless screaming.

Before he could kill her he sensed another attack. Swiftly Sesshoumaru jumped back, dropping her and escaped another arrow from behind. Kikyo propped herself weakly up by the trunk of a tree. Her body bled out through her kimono yet she used the remaining strength of hers to drive him away from her beloved sister.

"You will regret this youkai! Just as you've hurt the one's I care about you will do the same to your very own!" she demanded.

Sesshoumaru chuckled lightly. "You don't know me very well woman…I don't care for anyone and never will." He took a deep breath and stepped back, eyeing her one last time. He could see she was dying; this was good enough for him. And just as quickly as he had come, Sesshoumaru had transformed into cloud of dust, vanishing on the wind.

Kaede whimpered lightly, cupping her bloodied eye with her hand as she limped over to her sister. "Kikyo…" she cried softly. Kikyo graced her with a smile to ease her worry but slowly slid to her knees.

"I'm sorry Kaede…I could not finish the job…" Her lips trembled as she clutched to her swelling stomach. She leaned lightly on the girl and pulled the necklace from her neck.

"B-but sister…you did it. I saw it myself. The curse…it'll work right?" Kaede whimpered. Kikyo nodded lightly. Her head finally rolled back slowly in Kaede's grasp as the life fled from her body.

Sesshoumaru sneered, watching the scene below from a heightened ledge. He clenched his fist tightly as he looked at his left arm…a burn mark left from where the talisman had touched him. Just what type of curse did he have he wondered.

"Lord Sesshoumaru...are you alright?" Jaken chirped quickly, rushing over to look over his teenage master. He was severely upset to be left with the responsibly of serving Sesshoumaru by his master Inutaisho, but he could not neglect his duties. He just wished Sesshoumaru wasn't so much of a handful to watch. The young teenager was little like his father. He hoped this stage he would soon grow out of with time…as though 450 years was not long enough to do so.

Sesshoumaru sneered. "Jaken, find me a healer" he demanded, pushing pass the small demon.

"A healer my lord?" Jaken asked in disbelief. Never before had the youkai asked for help when he had healing abilities of his own. Even now his eye was healing and only the blood left behind as a faint memory of the pain. What he could possibly fear that would not heal with his normal abilities had to be truly powerful, Jaken wondered. Before Jaken could offer his master any further words the teen had started to march ahead. "W-wait up master!" he cried out, rushing after the boy. He had a bad feeling this was going to become a normal occurrence.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as the tiny demon nearly tripped over his feet simply trying to keep up with him.

"W-where are we going lord Sesshoumaru? Did not that village have something you wanted?" Jaken asked.

"…I got what I wanted. A scent" Sesshoumaru retorted darkly.

"A scent? A scent of who?"

"A whore" Sesshoumaru answered sharply.

Jaken quickly stopped, taking in the word with confusion at first then it occurred to him. "You mean…Izayoi?" Jaken questioned aloud. As suspected he received no reply. The teen truly hated that name, Jaken had learned. And what teen youkai wouldn't after having his parents break up because a human? Jaken was still shamed to know his true master had sought out the affection of a lowly human when he had the beautiful Inukimi waiting back home for him.

The beak up had been treacherous on Sesshoumaru though he tried to hide it. Jaken knew better. The teen was hurting that his father chose someone over his mother…and over him.

"Do you truly intend to kill her once you find her my lord? Do you truly think Master Inutaisho will allow you?" Jaken warned lightly. He was not one for scolding, especially to a demon much stronger than himself but it was worth mentioning for understanding. Children rarely seemed to pay attention unless things were mentioned repeated.

"We will see about that Jaken…" Sesshoumaru promised.

50 Years Later

Three girls giggled softly from across the table, occasionally taking a bite of their food. Kagome could only shake her head in embarrassment. Why did her friends have to be so goofy when she was just introducing her boyfriend to them? It had taken her nearly a year to confess her feelings to the boy of her dreams but now they were surely going to scare him away with their foolish girly behavior. Kagome looked timidly to her side at the black haired teen.

Inuyasha stared blankly ahead, anxiously taking down another helping of WacDonald's fries. The giggles and stares remained unnoticed to him as he sought to solve this fit of hunger he felt. The only reason he agreed to meet Kagome's friends was because she offered to buy him food. It was about the only thing the teen was willing to do with the girl in public. He didn't want to crush her heart when she first asked him out. He didn't have much interest in girls and he always figured it was a phase that would pass but it hadn't as of yet. He thought he might as well entertain the girl in this flawed relationship until he could understand his feelings.

Kagome cleared her throat lightly. "Inuyasha…why don't you say something?" she asked, flipping her eyes back to her friends for emphasis. The black haired teen simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Uh…I gotta piss" Inuyasha announced bluntly. The four girls instantly broke out into a sea of red embarrassment as he abruptly stood up from their booth and scooted out pass Kagome. He casually walked for the men's room, not checking to see their humiliated expressions. A smug chuckle came from behind, suddenly making the teen turn around. He stared dumbfound at a taller man with beautiful longer silver hair tied up in a high ponytail.

Inuyasha thought briefly…he had to be and actor or model. Not only was he breathtakingly beautiful for a male but he had the oddest face paint and eye color he had ever seen. Did all celebs go around walking around like this in broad day light he wondered?

"Are you always so suave with women?" the man asked with a tone that sounded like he wanted to smirk but his lips remained in a firm straight line.

Inuyasha frowned and stepped back toward the bathroom. "What's it to you jerk? You have a problem with me?"

Sesshoumaru stepped forward, closing the space between them until Inuyasha was backed against the bathroom door. "In fact I do. Pretty clever for you to hide among humans. But even your disgusting Hanyou smell can't be masked by them" he huffed.

"W-what the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha looked around uneasily, hoping no one noticed this guy standing so close to him. He yelped suddenly as he was shoved into the bathroom and against the wall. "Hey watch it! I don't roll that way!"

Sesshoumaru blew air from his nose in a self righteous snort. "As if I'd be interested in your ass."

"Then what do you want?"

"The cure. You have it…and I want it…NOW!" Sesshoumaru snarled, jerking the younger teen by the hair. His eyes smoldered a darkened red and his fangs elongated.

Almost instantly Inuyasha yelped out, shoving the other away as quickly as possible. "What the hell?!" he exclaimed. He rushed pass the other, heading for the door. He burst out into the restaurant sitting room, drawing quite a few eyes.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in confusion. "Something wrong?"

"Hell yes! There's a freaking pervert in there!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

Kagome looked at him in confused disbelief as another customer moved to the bathroom and opened the door. The bathroom was empty and the silver haired man was no where to be seen. What was going on?
