Same No Akume

My name is Mizu. I am half human and half shark demon. My father Kuroi, prince of the Same no Akuma wasn't really planning on having me and my two older siblings. He met my mother while in the middle of a war between the dog general and my grandfather Umi. My mother was the sixth daughter of a famous Arabian weapons merchant. Much trade between the west and east occurred then. My father was wounded and floating aimlessly at sea. My mother found him bleeding to death. She tended to his wounds despite knowing what he was and who he was. I guess it was one of those things that must have brought them together. Despite the fact that my mother was my father's savior. Her love for him was her ultimate downfall. She was forced to live in the Same Castle as both a prisoner and a bride. All access to any of her family gone.

She had my elder brother Shiro, my elder sister Tsuki. Then I came in to this god forsaken world. We were hated by both demons and human. All because our existence was unplanned and unnatural. For no human was used to the sight of humans with dorsal fins or teeth that could bite through houses. Not even the gills attached to our necks seemed to fit within their odd society. Instead of being feared or envied like the dog generals son Sesshomaru, or loved like the half-demon Inyusha, we were abused.

Through all the pain my brother was first to revolt. He toke the life of our uncle Araumi, and claimed himself worthy of the title clan leader. Our grandfather was old and weakened but still strong enough to have me and my siblings banished. To this day we still remember this punishment. The pain in my mother eyes when she saw us go still haunts me. I was only sixteen.

That was 50 years ago, and I haven't changed a single bit. We neko-same aren't affected by time as normal humans and demons are. A hundred years is nothing to a demon. As for humans it's usually impossible. We age like turtles, we could be over 39 years-old and still look fourteen. Though we don't age physically our mental and battle skills are beyond those of an average soldier. In other words don't underestimate us.

Me and my siblings have separated and have claimed our own paths over these lonely decades. My brother Shiro, ventured to the east in search for power and revenge. My sister Tsuki, skipped to the north in search for the cold. I have decided to head south in search of my own territory and place to call home. Much like our underwater ancestors we always keep on moving, if we don't we end up destroying ourselves or others. I rather not get in to that.
