Chapter 1: Bring Me to Life
Her father was the notorious demon Hosen. Her mother was the demon sorceress Nartala. Three years ago word got out that her father was killed by a human. Days before her fathers death her half brother was killed. The killers were unknown to her.
Her mother died at the exact time as her father. Her mother was deeply in love with her father. So much in love that it evolved into obsession. Nartala had branded Hosen. The brand made it so that they were apart of each other. What ever he felt she would as well.
When he was sealed away by the great princess Momoko, Nartala became weak. She decided to seal her powers away as well. Nartala possessed all four elemental powers. She extracted each one of those abilities from her. Once she did this the four of them took the form of small spheres. She had placed them into the hands of her daughter. She was to guard them for her mother, but was unable to use there power. Unable to use them until her mothers death.
Unfortunately before Nartala's death she took the small jewels back from her daughter. "You can't handle so much power," was her last words before casting the jewels away and her death. Her death three years ago. Her father was dead, but she didn't care. Her father was so power hungry that when she was younger he took a great portion of power away from her. That power went away with his death.
She wasn't close to her brother so his death didn't matter to her either. She cared for her mother, but her death was fortunate. She lacked power; though still stronger than a good percentage of demons. She could now possess her mothers elemental powers. She just had to find all of the jewels first.
Those three years ago she had a witch use Nartala's remains to create two detectors. The jewels were apart of Nartala which is why they used her remains. She had two created to play it safe. She needed to find those jewels in order to be more powerful. In order to be the strongest demon. In order to reign over humans and become the queen of an all demon world.
She was in her castle looking out of the window. She smiled sensing a presence from behind her. She turned around to two female demons. One was a child. "Hello, Kanna and Kagura." She said.
She walked towards them. "Well?"
Kagura threw the detector at Yuni. The detector was a small crystal ball, with a rim of gold connected by a gold chain. "I suspect you didn't find anything." Yuni said catching the detector.
"No." Kagura said quite irritated.
Yuni furrowed her eyebrows. She was getting quite irritated herself. She looked over to the far corner on the right. On a shelf laid two small jewels. One was yellow and one was green. She sighed and looked back at Kagura and Kanna.
"I am sick of this! These stupid jewels you are looking for are no where to be found." Kagura said. "We only found two and it took over a year!" She said pointing to the jewels.
"You gave us our pay for finding them, but our pay isn't enough to keep on searching. We are becoming tired of this. Tired of you."
"Did you look in villages?" Yuni asked. "Did you look every where? Surely you aren't afraid of any humans or other demons?"
"Are you afraid!" Kagura shot back. "Because you haven't searched yourself at all!"
Yuni bit her tongue. She knew why she hadn't searched. She didn't feel powerful enough to go out and search. What if she came across the one who defeated her father. She had to have others do it for her. Kagura was right though. The search is taking far to long and her patience is running thin. I must find fire and water.
She looked at Kagura and from her eyes Kagura could see determination. "Your tired of searching and I understand that. I am tired of not having all four jewels in my possession." Kagura was listening intently.
"For now I will get someone else to find the remaining two. I will assist in the search, but I will eventually need you for something bigger than finding mere jewels. So, I ask you to remain loyal to me and your reward will be satisfying in the end."
Kanna and Kagura looked at each other. There attention went back to Yuni. Kagura nodded, "Fine, but you better keep your word."
Yuni smiled and made her way towards them. They both moved so she could walk pass them. She slightly turned to them and grinned. "Trust me if everything works out according to plan...You will have my word and more."
She then flew out of the doorway. Transforming into a small slender lavender dragon. She flew fast through the sky. It didn't take much time for her to reach her destination. Her destination was a hut near a cliff.
She landed transforming back into her normal form. Yuni waited until an old female, demon ogre stepped out of the hut. "You again..." The woman said.
Yuni grinned. She closed her eyes and gave a light chuckle. "Well, nice to see you Urasue."
"Don't play girl. What is it that you want now? You already have your detectors. Don't tell me they aren't working." Urasue said stepping a little closer.
Yuni shook her head. "No, they do work. My problem is that it is taking to long to retrieve all of the jewels."
"What do you want me to do about that?"
"I need your help in finding someone to help me search for the remaining two."
"Don't you have people for that already?"
Yuni shook her head. "I need more people. I want a humans help. You see it'd be perfect. A human slave to start of my reign," she said grinning.
"Why not just bring back your mother? She would surely know where they are."
"Don't be foolish! I won't be able to possess their power with her alive. Let her rest in peace."
"You're putting me through too much trouble. First, you have to know where the human's remains are-"
Yuni's laugh interrupted her. "I'm no fool. You just keep insulting me. I have my plan and when I plan I plan well. I stole the remains already."
Urasue was getting quite aggravated with her. "If I help you will you leave me alone?"
Yuni nodded. "And if you don't I would just kill you."
Through gritted teeth Urasue spoke, "Who is it that you want to be your little slave."
Yuni's grin got even wider. "Bankotsu the last and the best of the once notorious Band of Seven."
Urasue's eyes widened. "Where did you find his remains?"
Yuni's grin went away. "Before I killed the damn thing, my father's snake companion, Hebi led me to my father's deathbed. That is where I saw a few humans carrying away Bankotsu's body. I suspect he helped in a battle with my father. Though I doubt he was the one to kill him. I presume he died before my father did."
"I killed the humans who were carrying him. I planned on using him as my first human minion, but I found two demon ones instead, so I buried his remains under my castle. I knew keeping them would come in handy in time."
"How do you plan on taming someone as Bankotsu? He was the leader of a notorious group. He defeated many humans and demons. What makes you think he'd want to become your assistant?"
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve too you know. My mother was a great sorceress." She said and Urasue understood the implication she was making.
"What are these 'tricks'?"
"I'm going to rid him of his memory. Everything he knew before his death will be gone and he will belong to me."
Urasue was intrigued by her plan. "Bring the remains before tonight." Yuni smirked and flew away.
It was sunset. Yuni and Urasue stood around a tub. "What's that?" Urasue said pointing to Banryu.
Yuni looked at it. "Oh...This, this is his weapon. His memory has to go somewhere. It was very heavy. I had to have troll demons help me bring it here."
"If he touches that weapon won't it feel familiar? And maybe he will regain his memory."
"There you go insulting me again. You are exactly right. That is why he can't touch it. He mustn't. Nor will he see it. I will keep it a way from him."
"Is he not going to have a weapon?"
Yuni smirked. "Oh he will have the most powerful thing he will ever wield." She stuck her hand out to her side and a naginata appeared in her hand. "I also retrieved my fathers weapon. It will become his."
Urasue was impressed by the young demon's plans. She then proceeded to what she was doing. She sprinkled small leaves into the tub. After Yuni placed Bankotsu's remains in the tub Urasue started chanting.
The leaves in the tub started to glow and soon the whole tub glowed. The light was so bright that Yuni had to cover her eyes. She opened one and a huge grin appeared on her face. In the tub laid a naked unconcious Bankotsu.
"He will wake up soon. You better hurry and seal his memory." Urasue said and Yuni nodded. Yuni took out a small blue stone. She hovered it over Bankotsu.
She closed her eyes to concentrate. In a few seconds the stone became red and Yuni opened her eyes. She place the red stone on Banryu. Both Banryu and the stone glowed. "There, all done." She placed the stone back into her sleeve. She covered Banryu with a sheet so when he awoke he wouldn't see it. I will return it back to my castle later.
"Go. I want to be the only one he sees when he awakens." Yuni said in a low voice.
"What this is my-
"I will kill you!" Yuni said furiously. Urasue became a bit frightened and obeyed. Shortly after Bankotsu opened his eyes slowly. Yuni kneeled down to the side of the tub. She hovered over him staring down.
His eyes were fully opened now and he stared at her. He looked daze and innocent; something that he wasn't. Very handsome. He will definitely be mine. She thought with a smirk on her face. She watched as he slowly sat up.
He turned his head and stared at the woman next to him. What he saw was a beautiful demon. Her hair was long and lavender, with two buns on the side of her head. Her lips were panted purple. Her eyes were blue pupil less.
She then wrapped her arms around his neck. He blushed and was very confused. "Oh Bankotsu you're alive! I did it. I brought you back."
"Bankotsu? That's my name huh?"
She let go of him. She smile at him and nodded. "I brought you back. I need your help."
He looked at her and lightly pushed him away. "You brought me back? I was dead I presume." He paused for a moment. "How did I die?"
"In battle. You're very skilled, Bankotsu and that's why I need you."
He looked at her. "Did you bring me back just to use me?" He said frowning.
She leaned closer to him. Her face was centimeters away. To his surprise she placed a kiss on his lips. "Yes, and for other reasons." She kissed him again. "I need you for many things. I see that you don't remember anything. Sad, really. If only you knew how amazing you are."
"What do you need of me? What will be in it for me?"
She placed her hand on his bare chest and stroked it. "Anything you want and more." She said in a low voice and winking.
They were now back at her castle. They stood in her room. He stood in front of her now fully clothed. She turned to him and handed him one of the detectors. "So you want me to use this to find one of those jewels?" He asked.
She nodded. "It glows purple when you come near one and darkens when your in the same spot as one." He nodded. Naginata then appeared floating horizontally in front of him. "Take it. It's yours."
He took hold of it. He could feel the massive amount of power seeping from it and he liked it. She noticed a smirk form on his face. "Before you start on finding the element jewels I want you to do something." She told him.
"What?"
"Test your weapon out. Go have some fun with it." She watched his smirk grow.
"With pleasure." He said turning to leave.
"Oh and one more thing." He turned back around. "Once your done having your fun I want you to return back here to me. I want to have a little private fun with you."
He smirked and then left out.
A young samurai who was wearing nothing but red armor was dragging a young woman by her arm. The young woman was trying to fight her way out of his grasp. She had long straight black hair, reaching her buttocks. She wore a pale blue kimono covered in a pink silk robe. The pink silk robe was gorgeous. It shone bright with blue and purple floral designs all over it.
The young woman groaned as she tried to tug her arm away. "Takemaru, would you let go!." She said obviously agitated.
The young samurai stopped pulling her, but still held a firm grip on her arm. "Misaki, how many times do I have to tell you? The base is only for my men. It is no place for a princess. Especially not ours."
She frowned and snatched her arm away. "I'll have you know I fought many times. I even helped my grandmother's village's army in battle before."
"I know what you are capable of, Misaki." He then sighed. "We just can't have nothing bad happen to our q-
He stopped himself from saying the word. The word queen. He knew she preferred the title Princess Misaki over Queen Misaki even though she was technically head of the castle making her queen. "You better not call me queen." She said with a great deal of seriousness.
"I know. I know." He said with a sigh.
She began to walk off. He followed her. "Misaki, why won't you accept the title of being queen."
She turned and looked at him. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I know it is silly, but if anyone should be called queen it should be my mother, former Princess Momoko. Even if she is dead. It's just how I feel."
Takemaru was silent. She began to walk again, but he stopped her by grabbing her arm. He swiftly turned her around to face him. "I thought it was because you were waiting for marriage. That you were waiting to have your prince."
Misaki blushed and shook her head. "You were wrong." She said not looking him in the face.
"Misaki, out of all your people I am most loyal to you. I am on bended knee princess. I am always at your service."
"Then leave me alone when I want to spar with the soldiers."
"No." He said cupping her face with his hand. He moved her face closer to his. Their lips were so close that they could feel each others breath.
Miskai then backed away from him. "We can't. I told you this before. We had our fun. It's over now. You are my head samurai-
"But, Misaki-" He said trying to reach for her, but she stepped back.
"No buts, Takemaru. I must be going now, Momiji is waiting for me."
Momiji is Misaki's toddler daughter. Takemaru has nothing against the child. He found her quite enjoyable to be around. The only thing that bothered him was the curiosity of knowing who the father is. The people of her village's wonder the same thing.
"It doesn't matter because he is dead." Is all she would say when asked. She bowed to Takemaru and made her way back to her castle. She walked through the small forest of trees. She was eager to get back home to her darling.
"Yo." She heard a familiar voice. She looked around anxious to find out where the familiar voice was coming from. "Up here." She looked up and smiled.
Inuyasha was sitting on a branch of a tree. She walked closer to the tree. "It's good to see you, Inuyasha. Why don't you come into the village with me?"
"Yeah right, so I could be pestered by your damn head samurai, or so the people can call me a stinking half breed."
"Nobody will look at you that way. You never come to my castle." She said this with a disappointing expression on her face. "I remember when I was very little I saw you all of the time. Then after my mothers death I rarely seen you. It wasn't until I was about ten when I started to see you again. Then once I was in my adolescence it became more and more rare."
"I became hard alright!" He said looking away from her.
"But I needed you! And I know you needed me."
"I don't need anyone. I am fine all on my own." He said folding his arms.
She placed her hand on the tree and leaned against it. "What made you come back. I see you more. It may not be too often, but it's satisfying."
"Look, the villages started to get rebuild and I suspected something. I found out you became ruler. I just felt more comfortable in being around you. It still was hard but I got over it."
"What was so hard!" She yelled now looking straight at him.
"The fact that you kept looking more and more like your mother! More and more like my mother!" She then got quiet understanding him. "They were sisters,so it makes sense. First my mother then yours."
She felt her heart ache. She never met her aunt. Her mother told her that her aunt died of illness before her birth. Momoko also told Misaki that after his mother's death Inuyasha fled the land they'd ruled. He couldn't be in the place his mother died and Momoko's appearance was too identical to his mother's that he could not bare it.
Inuyasha eventually returned after the birth of Misaki. They became extremely close. He followed her when she started to live in the other village with Kaede, but his visits became more and more rare. In her teens Misaki resembled her mother so much that Inuyasha could not bring himself to see her as often.
He would seldom see her. Even now at the fresh age of twenty it was hard, but he had to. He had to make sure she was alright, and he still held that bond with her. "I just hope one day you'll come to the castle." She said with a sad smile.
"Maybe."
"I'll see you later, Inuyasha. I have to get back to Momiji." She said readying herself to leave.
"Hey wait a minute! Why weren't you with her in the first place?" He said defensively.
She giggled a little, "Don't worry. Geesh, she's my child. She was with a friend." Misaki then walked off.
She arrived at her castle. She walked up the steps and saw her daughter playing with a young girl who was a few years older. She smiled as the older child chased the toddler around.
The child ran with her eyes closed as she giggled. The toddler opened her dark blue eyes and a huge grin appeared on her face. She ran over to Misaki with open arms. "Mommy!"
Misaki bent down and opened her arms. She caught Momiji in them and wrapped her arms around her small frame. The child nuzzled her face into her mothers stomach. Misaki smiled.
"Oh your back my princess." The older child said bowing to Misaki. "I'll guess I will be returning home now. It was so fun playing with little Momiji again."
Misaki smiled at the child. "You can play with her whenever you like, Rin. Hurry now and get home before it gets dark."
Rin bowed once more and made her way down the steps. Once down the steps she ran home. Misaki took hold of her daughters hand, "Let's go in. I'm sure supper is ready." They both then made their way into the castle.
