Inuyasha
The Demon Who Fell Inlove.
It's the first day of spring; all the trees in the forest are in full bloom with bright healthy leaves. They whisper among each other as the breeze brushes through lush tree tops. Plump juicy fruit hang firmly to the branches as they glisten in the morning sun, from the dew drops that kiss the fruit ever so gently. The warm air was perfumed with the delicate smell of wild flowers that sway from the spring air in the emerald ocean meadows. There are no clouds to be seen for miles in the endless blue sky. Birds chirp in the high branches of the mighty tree tops. All seem so perfect and peaceful in the country side until a high pitch screech pierces the silence like a sharp dagger to the heart. Birds cry while they flee their hiding places in the tree tops and fly for safety. A young half she demon runs franticly through the thick vegetation, pushing tree branches out of her way. Her black and pink kimono; torn to shreds in several areas, barely holding up against her feminine frame. Long moonlight hair dances furiously behind her, tangled all around her slender shoulders; catching on every branch that she passes. Bright golden hues stain crimson red while tears stream down her milky porcelain cheeks.
Snow white plush ears rest on the side of her head, they twitch in every direction trying to pin point the location of the hunters that were chasing her. Two long clouds like tails flow behind her which was lightly coated with blood from her wounds that the hunters inflicted upon her soft flesh. The hunters not too far behind her with katanas in hand, wanting her ears and tails to sell off for profit. She turns her head to gaze behind her left shoulder as she struggles to see how much distance she had in-between herself and the hunters but, the moment she removes her eyes from in front of her; a protruding tree root makes a rough impact to the top of her right foot. Golden hues widen in shock, with a loud yelp that seeps from her rosy full lips. Her body falls forward with force, unable to fight against gravity; collapsing to the ground knocking the wind right of her lungs. Struggling to catch her breath and to get herself onto her feet, the hunters quickly makes their way over to her. The sound of the hunter's shoes crunch the small fallen branches that rest on the forest floor. Their deep voices and cold hearted laughter's brings fear to her ting body, being unable to protect herself from them since she was never taught to have fighting abilities. Lifting her head from the ground she is barely able to see past the thin strands of her silky white locks that engulf almost her entire body.
"At last we finally caught you, you filthy she demon!"
Spoke one of the hunters as he stops a few feet from behind her, fiddling with the hilt of his katana, the blade sparkles like diamonds in the sun that peeks through the trees. A dark forbidding aura over powers her moments after the hunter spoke, everything was completely dead silent for a split second. The she demon covers her face with her arms from the sound of bodies being torn to shreds, blood splattering against the area staining all that it touches. The men cry in sheer agony from what she believes to be demons devouring them. The struggle ended just as fast as it began, foot steps continue to make their way to her right side stopping next to her. An unknown creature hovers above her like a vulture does to it dying prey. She remains still too frighten to move a muscle. The sound of large flying insect caught her attention, making her curiously increase to know who exactly saved her. Slowly she cocks her head to the right to stare up into the face of a strange white ape like creature standing before her. A gentle gasp drifts off her ample lips, being startled with the appearance of the demon.
"Are you hurt Maya?"
Spoke the ape creature, Maya's eyes widen with shock, to find out that the creature knew who she was. It took her a split second to snap back into reality lowering her sight from the creature, she spoke softly struggling to get up.
"Ye…Yes, I am but I will survive."
She replies back in short choppy breaths, placing the palm of her hands to the ground shaking lightly; trying to get back onto her bare feet. A hand caught her attention in the corner of her right eye from the ape demon. Cocking a thin white brow she examines his hand realizing the white ape fur is only a disguise, hiding his true form from her golden hues. Lifting her hand up she hesitates to take his hand at first, his soft flesh warms her hand as he pulls her onto her feet. Her fragile body stumbles forward into his chest, her fair cheeks flush red the instant she made contact to his ape fur coat. The fur rubs against her bare skin, soothing her emotions of today. His arms slither around her hour glass hips holding her close to him, the sound of buzzing grew louder from the lush tree tops. Her eyes widen with fright from the sight of the poison Saimyosho which made her throw her arms around his body.
"There is no need to fear them my dear Maya, you are safe with me. I will heal your wounds and protect you; I jut want one simple favor from you in return."
Spoke the unknown man in a calm deep voice, his finger tips digging into her torn kimono. She pulls away slowly to gaze up into the ape mask with a puzzle expression on her face.
"What…do you seek from me?"
Replies Maya in a trembling tone.
"Serve me to my every beckon call and I will fulfill your deepest desires…"
Leaning downwards into her silk silver locks, his mask presses ever so lightly to her ear lobe whispering softly to her.
"To be a full fledged demon."
Answers the man in a desirable tone that made goosebump develop on the surface of her pale flesh. She always yearned to be a full fledged demon her whole life. Being tormented as a child by members of her pack until her mother was slaughtered for falling inlove with a human male from a royal court in the west. Maya ran away moments after her mother's death to prevent facing the same faith.
"You're capable of granting me that desire?"
She spoke with uncertainty in her soft spoken voice. Her plush ears twitch in-between her words.
"Yes, I can with the shikon jewels. Once I gather all the shards to make the shikon whole again."
She gently jerks her wounded body from his hold, shaking her head from side to side to his words.
"The shikon shards bring nothing but death and chaos to innocent demons; I am not one for such darkness.
He slowly lowers his hands from her mid back to his sides under the ape fur. The Saimyosho hover closer to Maya, buzzing in an angry manner as though they were reflecting from the unknown man's emotions and thoughts.
"In that case you are of no use to me then. It's such a shame too; I can see such potential within you Maya."
He said in a stern voice while he lifts his right hand from under the ape fur, extending his arms in her direction offering his hand to her as a last offer.
"Last chance my dear Maya, come with me or I will have no choice but to ultimate you."
His cold stern voice shot chills up and down her spine; she knew she had no other choice but to obey him in order to survive. Swiftly she jerks her head to the side, breathing heavily trying to make a quick decision. Firmly taking her bottom lip under her canine fangs, she shuts her eyes tightly as she raises her right hand from her side and rests it ever so lightly upon her almost revealing breast. Her heart pounding hard within her, she hesitates to extend her hand, she quickly pulls back taking in a deep breath. Releasing her breath out from her smooth lips, turning her head back to face him with a serious expression on her face.
She places her left hand into his offering hand; his grip tightens around her small hand. He yanks her into his arms, while the bottom of his body begins to transform into a spiral tornado. It engulfs their entire body, taking off into the air with the Saimyosho guarding them in every direction. They travel to the far end of the country side in the east, her delicate fingers grip lightly to the Ape fur. Resting the side of her porcelain doll like face against what she believes to be his chest. The warmth of the fur makes her sleepy golden hues to drupe until she was in slumber. A weak whimper seeps from her lips, tossing and turning as she felt unfamiliar with her surroundings. Golden hues open wide, gasping loudly, her body bolts up into a sitting position with sweat beads dripping down the side of her face. Gazing around she finds herself to be in an old fashion Japanese bedroom, resting on soft colorful silk sheets on the wooden floor. She felt her velvet skin crawl the instant the dark aura caresses her innocent flesh. The dark aura engulfs the entire area, giving a faded purple tint to the air. She pulls the sheets from her body to find out she was in a new kimono, a thigh high long sleeve silk kimono that had a black waist bow that hugs against her slender waist. The door to the room slides open, a very attractive man stood before her in the door way. Long lavishing curls of raven locks rest ever so lightly around his perfect formed face and drapes down his back with a few strands in the front. His eyes are a piercing deep hazel hue that complemented his pale complexion.
Her fair cheeks were stain crimson from how surprisingly handsome he is, she wonders if he is the same man that had saved her in the ape cover. He parts his lips and spoke in a familiar tone that matched the voice from the man from earlier today.
"You're finally awake, I due hope you were able to rest well after I had healed your wounds."
Maya lowers her gaze, examining her arms and legs to see that she was no longer injured. Closing the sliding doors behind him while he spoke to young Maya. He turns his emotionless hues towards her, making his way to her side; he lowers himself to the wooden floor with his legs cross over one another.
"It's time for us to speak about out agreement my dear Maya."
Removing her golden gaze from her now healed body, she turns to look towards him while he spoke to her; she too wish to know what he desires from her. Giving the nameless man her full divided attention.
"What I seek from you my dear is to gain the trust of my enemies and obtain the remaining jewel shards for me."
She nibbles on her soft bottom lip, knowing the jewel shards would be part of her returning deed. Lowering her gaze to her lap, fiddling with the edge of the silk blanket that rest against her firm thighs.
"What should I do? If I deny him, I will be killed but if I serve him I will be risking my life, I lose either way."
She thought to herself, closing her eyes she breathes in deep holding it in before releasing it loudly. Her eyes remain shut, parting her lips to give him her answer.
"What must I do to get close to them sir?"
Opening her eyes slowly, she stares blankly into the man's cold hazel hues. A sad expression falls upon her face regretting her answer all ready.
"Please call me Naraku and you do not need to worry about that my dear Maya. I already have a plan sorted out to get you close to them. I just need you to gain their trust and to not mess it up."
He spoke in a stern voice, lifting his right hand to his chest. He reaches into the opening of his kimono and pulls out a pink shard that he barely held onto with his thumb and index finger. Her golden hues dilate to the sight of the jewel shard; she never had seen a shard in her entire life, only heard stories in her youth.
"This is for you."
He said while he leans forward into her, placing the sharp end of the jewel shard in-between her large ample breast. The shard sinks into her body, engulfing her with dark powers that she never thought she could experience as a half demon. A faint gasp escapes her lips from being surprised on how the shard makes her feel. Lifting her right hand to her chest where he placed the shard at, grazing her fingertips to her flesh as she gazes up to Naraku.
A sinister smirk tugs against his lips, seeing that Maya was enjoying the power coursing through her body. His hand remains extended outwards to her chest, his finger tips reach out touching her milky skin. He glides his fingertips up her chest to her chin, gripping her chin with two fingers.
"Don't disappoint me my dear. I'm counting on you."
He spoke gently placing a small bottle of liquid on her lap. Her ears and eyes perk up feeling something drop onto her lap; her cheeks flush red from his touch. Removing his hand from her face, she lowers her golden hues to her lap to see a small bottle of dark purple liquid. Cocking her left brow she was rather puzzled on why he had given her this.
"What do I do with this?"
She asked while she picks up the bottle and examines it more closely.
"You drink it."
He simply replies back to her question with a monotone facial expression on his face. Her white fluffy ears twitch upwards slightly curious on what would happen to her if she drank it. Her golden hues lift from the bottle to him, dropping her hand back to her lap with the bottle in her grasp.
"Drink it?"
She asked with an uncertain tone, her head cocks slightly to the right as strains of her snow white locks falls perfectly over her slender shoulders.
"Yes… Go north from here until you reach the main river, drink the liquid and wait."
He explains in simple terms for her. He lifts himself onto his sock covered feet and turns his back to her. Making his way to the sliding doors, he pulls the thin wooden door to slide about to leave.
"That's it?!"
She blurts out at the last second, jumping onto her now sock covered feet and takes a few steps closer to him. Her shimmering locks fall all around her small frame, with her golden eyes soften towards him.
"Trust me."
Was all he said to her, turning his head to gaze over his left shoulder to look at her. His cold hazel left eye could barely be seen though his lavishing raven curls that ran down his back and shoulders like a rushing river against bed of mighty rocks.
"I suppose I have no choice but to complete this mission for Naraku."
She whispers under her breath, her golden hues gazing down to the wooden floor in front of her. Lifting her hands up, she takes one last look at the small bottle before tucking it away into her kimono for safe keeping. She makes her way out of the room with caution, her ears twitching from front to back and to sides when passing spare empty rooms. Cloud like tails press against her arch on her slender lower back, swaying slowly from side to side. Reaching the entrance to the old fashion Japanese palace, she examines the terrain around the palace to see that it was in the middle of no where. No vegetation was to be seen, just dead barren trees in the distance. Lowering her gaze to her left side she notices a pair of sandals with white silk laces that tie up the cafés. Sliding her right foot towards her left she plops herself onto her bottom and begins to place the sandals on. Gently she wraps the ribbons crisscross around her firm cafes and ties a bow on the back of her upper thighs. Leaping onto her feet in a swift motion, she taps the tips of the both sandals one at a time against the wooden plank floor to make the sandal fit perfectly.
She leaps off the palace deck, landing gracefully on one foot to the hard lifeless ground. Her silk moonlight locks flow behind her, a brief moment until it falls back into place against her back. Taking off into a light sprint, existing the court yard and into the thick forest in the distance. The sun was almost at its mid peek in the afternoon as it shines down, warming up the earth's surface with its mighty rays. Dashing into the safety of the forest natural camouflage, zig zagging through the trees to get to where she needed to go to fulfill her duties to Naraku.
"I can not fail Naraku; I must win his enemies trust to get those jewel shards."
She thought to herself, breathing in her nose and out her mouth trying to rush to the location to where she was told to "Run into" his enemies. Having her mind process so many thoughts at once she lost focus on her surroundings. Her left foot steps in a trap that was carefully buried in dead leaves next to a large protruding tree trunk. Her golden hues bolt wide open as a painful cry pours from her soft full lips, stumbling forward onto her knees she continues to yelp in pain. Her locks of hair drupes all around her body shielding her face and her salty tears stream down her smooth cheeks.
Twisting her hourglass frame slightly to the left to observe her foot in the trap, the rusty blades dig deep into her ankle. Blood oozes down her foot, staining the white silk ribbons on her sandals. Tugging gently on her foot to see how tight the hold was on her ankle. She shuts her right eye while another cry escapes her lips. She struggles to pull her knee into her chest, trying to loosen the grip on her ankle. After a few agonizing pulls, she soon realizes it was of no use and allows her upper body to collapse to the ground. Sobbing quietly to herself, she felt like giving up on herself and on Naraku.
"What am I doing?"
She asks herself while streams of tears drizzle down her dirty cheeks. Strands of her crystal white locks break away from behind her ears and coat her face. Panting heavily through her pink lips, loose dirt blows into a tiny cloud as she exhales.
A familiar voice whispers in her head, it was Naraku. Thrusting her head up, her ears perk up and twitch in different directions as though his voice was speaking a loud.
"Drink the potion I had given you."
Maya lifts her shaking left hand to her cleavage and pulls the small bottle from her kimono. Gazing at the dark liquid, that sparkles in the scatter sunlight that was demising in the tree tops.
"Drink it!"
Demanding Naraku in a devilish tone that startled Maya.
Slowly she pulls her right hand in front of her and gently pops the lid off with the tip of her thumb. Hesitating to place the bottle to her rosy lips, she closes her eyes while she quickly consumes the dark fluid before she had second thoughts. Her heart pounds heavy in her chest, golden hues widen from the unbearable pain. The bottle slips from her delicate finger tips and shatters into pieces. Her right hand clinches her chest as she breathes hard from the fluid taking its effects.
"What's happening to me? What was in that bottle?"
Those questions along with dozens more kept rushing through her mind; sweat builds up on the surface of her skin until her vision became blurry. Eye lids growing heavy until they fell and all went black.
Meanwhile in the far distance another half demon well known by the name of Inuyasha, was traveling with his pack of allies heading to the south trying to seek out a village to settle down at for the night.
"Hey Miroku, how much further is this village at, I'm starving!"
Whines the little fox demon, which sat comfortably in the basket of the human girl's bike.
"Any minute we should be there Shippo, be patient."
Miroku said calmly with his hands tuck in his long sleeves before his chest.
"This damn village better have good food!"
Barks Inuyasha with his usual attitude while his stomach growls.
"If you are that hungry Inuyasha why don't you just have some rice balls that I brought from home?"
Said Kagome while pushing her bike along the dirt road.
"Ooooh, can I have some pretty please Kagome?"
Squeals Shippo while flailing his tiny arms, she closes her hazel eyes and giggles.
"Yes of course Shippo."
Inuyasha glares over his right shoulder, his golden eyes barely able to be seen through his thick white locks. A loud grunt leaves his lips, snapping his attention back in front of him.
"No thanks!"
She stops walking with her friends to dig in her large yellow backpack to grab the container of rice balls. Turning to face Shippo, she hands him the small container with a sweet smile upon her lips but her hazel eyes snap up to glance at Inuyasha that was leading their group.
"Here you go Shippo."
"YaaaY! Thank you Kagome!"
Said Shippo while he was already stuffing his face with the plump rice balls. They continue on walking down the path towards the near by village until Kagome suddenly stops again. The wind blew gently against the trees and through the thick flourish meadows.
"What's wrong Kagome?"
Asked Sango in a concern voice, turning to gaze over her shoulder to look back to Kagome. Kagome shifts her head to the east. Narrowing her eyes for a moment she spoke.
"For a second I felt a Shikon jewel in the distance but it faded away quickly."
"We should go check it out!"
Spoke Miroku, who stood a few feet behind kagome; gazing in the same direction.
"What's the point?"
Snaps Inuyasha.
"What do you mean?"
Replies Miroku while he turns his attention to Inuyasha.
"Kagome just said she felt the jewel fade, so our chances of find it is low and besides I'm starving."
"Yeah and I'm hungry too!"
Cries Shippo for the thousand times today.
"Ugh fine lets just go then."
Sighs Miroku, finally giving into the others.
They all continue down the path, the sun slowly sinks behind the mighty mountains in the distance. The average size village was now in sight in the horizon.
Among the thick vegetation of the forest, a tall silver haired demon makes his way through the uneven dirt paths. His walk was that of one walking on air, graceful as his long silver locks sway perfectly with his body movement. His bright golden eyes shimmer in the dusk light that gave off a faint dim light that glows against his face.
He was accompanied by a small toad demon that had a rare two head staff in his three finger grasp. A two head dragon that was tamed and surprisingly a little human girl. They had no particular location that they were heading to, they were nomads that made shelter where ever they desired. The small human girl places her ever so tiny hand to her stomach, a soft whine seeps from her childish lips.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I'm really hungry. May I go in search of food?"
The toad demon turns himself around, flailing his staff over his head in an upset manner.
"Damn you Rin, you just ate! How can you possible be hungry again?"
"But lord Jaken?"
Rin said in a sad tone, lowering her head down in shame.
"Go…"
Spoke calmly from their lord Sesshomaru, who kept his position steady before them.
"Bu.., but my lord?"
Challenged Jaken, turning his head over hiss left shoulder to look to his master. Sesshomaru glares over his left shoulder. Cold empty hues stare down to Jaken which made the small toad demon tremble.
"Ye…Yes me lord."
Rin's innocent hazel eyes light up with excitement, leaping off the two head dragon. She takes off into the forest, looking in all direction in search of anything worth consuming. Little Rin travels far from where her two lords waited patiently for her.
"I hope I can find something to eat soon, it's getting really dark."
Her gaze turns to a small berry bush, she giggles softly while she took off towards the bush. Falling to her knees, she grabs one after another and stuffs her face until her cheeks were stuffed.
Cleaning the bush completely of its berries, little Rin edges around the bush to gather more berries. A pale female foot caught her sight. A loud scream leaves her lips as her face went ghost white. Within a matter of minutes Lord Sesshomaru and Jaken came to her aid.
"What's going on Rin? Are you hurt?"
Asked Lord Jaken.
Rin sat on her bottom, trembling in fright. She points to the lifeless foot behind the bushes.
Lord Jaken turns his large toad eyes in the direction she is pointing in. He makes his way around the bush, using his staff's mighty flame to light up the area.
"Ich….gross."
Said Lord Jaken, who was examining the snow white haired she demon that lies motionless in the hunter's trap.
"Poor thing."
Spoke Rin was she creeps up slowly behind Lord Jaken, gazing over his shoulder to see the she demon herself. Developing courage, little Rin cautiously makes her way over to the she demon and got to her knees in front of the deceit demon, trying to see her face.
"She is so beautiful, it's sad that she is gone."
Lord Sesshomaru finally makes his way around the bush, standing next to Jaken. His golden hues glare down to the she demon.
"She is a half breed! It's a good thing she is dead!"
Rin's eyes perk up from his harsh words, lifting her gaze to her lord.
"But my lord, she doesn't deserve such a faith even if she is a half breed."
Whines little Rin, extending her right hand slowly to the she demon's white locks stroking her carefully as though the fallen demon could feel her touch.
Sesshomaru turns his glance from Rin's sadden hazel hues to the fallen she demon. His hand rest on the hilt of his katana, curling his fingers around the fabric design; pulling the katana out in one swift motion. The metal whistles as it grinds smoothly with its sheath. He kept his gaze locks on the she demon as he parts his lips slightly.
"Move Rin."
She removes herself from the she demon's side and replaces herself by lord Jaken's side to watch lord Sesshomaru in action. Swinging his mighty katana over her body and places the katana back within a matter of seconds. After a few moments, the she demon groans softly with her glittery golden hues opening but shut tightly in pain as she was still stuck in the trap. Rin lets out a faint gasp from the she demon's painful cry. Her natural instinct was to aid the she demon, like she once did for lord Sesshomaru. Rushing over to her side, she falls to her knees and takes ahold of the rusty trap. The she demon was unaware that anyone was around her more so a human. Jerking back she lets out a growl and bears her fangs which frighten Rin abit.
"That's enough of that! Lord Sesshomaru just saved your life. Respect us or I'll kill you!"
Spits out Jaken who slams the bottom on his staff into the dirt. The she demon stops her fierce actions, blinking a few times trying to grasp reality that she was still alive. Looking to Rin, she softens her gaze while she watches Rin work on freeing her. It brought pain to her as the dual blades pull out of her wounded flesh. Turning her gaze away, she caught the sight of black boots and puffy kimono pants. Her eyes dared her to keep lifting her sights up to witness a breath taking beauty standing before her. All her pain suddenly lifts from her delicate body. His gaze turns to look into her eyes, so cold and emotionless like Naraku's, but there was a dim light hiding within his golden hues that she could barely make out.
He closes his eyes slowly, turning his sights else where not seeming interested in her.
"Ah it's off!"
Rin cheers loudly with a beat in her voice.
The she demon turns to look at the deep wounds in her café and sighs in relief. She struggles to get herself onto her feet, groaning lightly; gritting her teeth as her muscles fail her and she collapse back to the dead leaves that litter the ground.
Rin leans her small body over her and strokes her sweaty flesh.
"Take it easy. Let me bandage you up."
She said with a positive tone, leaping onto her bare feet she giggles softly before taking off into the forest. Fifteen minutes passed as little Rin makes her way back with herbs plants and long leaves and roots pressed against her flat chest.
Squatting down Rin places all her items onto the ground next to the she demon's leg.
"This might hurt alittle."
Rin said, while she took the plant and grinds it into the palms of her hands until it was in a fine powder. Separating her hands, rin leans forward resting her small hands among the open wound. The she demon lets out a faint yelp, her puppy like ears lower and twitch.
Removing her hands away leaving the remains of the herb on the she demon's leg. Taking the leaves and roots, Rin wraps her leg carefully trying to not cause further pain. Once she was finished Rin gets onto her feet. The she demon smiles kindly to her, her rosy lips part lightly to speak.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I must take my leave now."
She said while resting the palms of her hands to the dirt ground, struggling to get onto her feet. A certain cold voice speaks within her mind that caused her to freeze in place.
"No Stay!"
The she demon cocks her right eyebrow, shifting her golden hues towards the two male demons; not being used to Naraku's special powers. Feeling that the others heard him just as clear as she had.
Lifting herself onto her bare feet she kept quiet while she spoke within her head.
"But these are not the ones I am seeking are they?"
She asked with a confuse tone.
"No they are not but Sesshomaru is the older brother of my enemy."
Her gaze turns towards Sesshomaru, listening to Naraku's words.
"Wont this effect the original plans though?"
Lowering her sights quickly from Sesshomaru, once she realizes he was staring back at her with those deadly eyes.
"Yes my original plans were ruined but I can easily work with this. Stay with them until other wise."
Closing her hues, she took in a deep breath and releases it calmly.
"Yes my lord."
She spoke, opening her eyes she turns her golden gems to little rin; who has an upset expression on her gentle face.
"On the other hand, it is getting dark and I'm too injured to be on my own, may I please accompany you for tonight?"
The she demon asked kindly.
Rin's hazel eyes automatically dart to Lord Sesshomaru with puppy dog eyes; the she demon also turns to look at him. His facial expression never once changed when his amazing hues glance to Rin then shift over to the she demon. A faint irritated grunt leaves his lips as he shuts his eyes and walks back to the trail.
"Do as you please half breed."
Her snow white ears perk up as she tries to call for him.
"My name is Maya!"
Lord Sesshomaru stops in his track, turning his glance over his left shoulder to look back to Maya for a split second before turning back and continuing on.
