The wind carried leaves across the treetops to a girl that stood at the edge of a cliff face. She closed her eyes as the wind brushed past her and wavered her raven black hair and tattered clothes. When the wind died down, she looked out at the rising sun.
The sun shone on her pale white face and into her ice blue eyes with lavender and dark grey swirling around like a storm in the winter. The ice blue for the set ice, the dark grey for the night sky and the lavender for the falling snow. But the grey and lavender were strips of colour that moved around like water.
She looked just like a human wearing a lavender and sky blue kimono with a thin, black obi around her waist. The right sleeve of her kimono had been torn off and it showed her scared arm. She had symbols from her wrist, half way down her forearm on the inside, written in black. She had numerous scars on her stomach where she had tears in her kimono. This girl's appearance was that of a worker though her clothes would have been fit for an empress when intact and her structure was magnificent.
The sun had risen above the mountains. The girl looked down at the cliff face and into the black at the bottom.
"Hey! She's over here!" Yelled a rusty man's voice.
The girl snapped around, crouching low to the ground and hissing towards where the man's voice came from. Her nails grew slightly longer and sharper and she flexed her hands into claws. Her pupils turned from nice and calm to sharp slits. Her canine teeth lengthened when the army of men appeared from all aspects of the forests edge that surrounded her.
"Wench!" Called the leader as his horse trotted forward from the other horses.
The girl retracted her nails and teeth. She stood normally facing the side of the forest and looking to her left to stare into the leaders eyes.
"Take her down!" Yelled the leader.
A war cry filled the air from the men's voices.
----------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha was walking a lonely valley when he heard the war cry. He snapped to look up and see a girl at the very edge of the cliff side.
"Surrender and we wont have to hurt you!"
----------------------------------------------------------
The girl lifted her hands above her head and smirked.
"Fire!"
The girl threw herself sidewards. Spears and arrows shot through the air and missed the girl as she slipped over the cliff's edge and plummeted towards the valley ground where Inuyasha stood.
Inuyasha moved out of the way with his inhuman speed. The girl had turned in the air to be crouching in mid air as she free fell.
The girl landed with a thump and loose dirt flew into the air. When the dust had dissipated, Inuyasha found the girl had landed with her left foot, right knee and right hand on the ground. She was breathing heavily but soon took a deep breath in and then let it go.
Inuyasha curiously approached the girl, "Umm…are you ok?"
The girl stood up and looked up at the cliff where horse hooves and yelling was heard. She then looked down to Inuyasha with her entrancing eyes and smiled warmly.
"Thank you for your concern but I assure you, you need not to worry."
"May I ask your name?"
The girl bowed, "It-it's Satsuya. Thank you kind demon. I am forever in your debt for not being wicked towards me."
She thinks I'm a demon. Thought Inuyasha. Inuyasha was intrigued as to who this girl was and why she looked so much like Kagome and finally spoke up, "Where are you heading?"
"To Mount Fuji." Satsuya stood up straight. She looked as if she could never be ferocious and wild like she was when she hissed at the men.
Who is she? Thought Inuyasha. Inuyasha blinked and when he opened his eyes, he saw not Satsuya standing in front of him, but Kagome. Satsuya was identical to Kagome except for her eyes, skin colour, dress sense and height. All was the same structure.
"I must be off!" Satsuya smiled.
Inuyasha blinked and Saw Satsuya again.
Satsuya bowed, "I'm sorry for your loss, Inuyasha." She turned and ran off in the opposite direction to which Inuyasha was travelling.
Inuyasha was speechless. He just watched as she ran away. "Who was she?" Asked Inuyasha in a half mumble. "How did she know? And what was with her speaking in dog, why not just Japanese?" Inuyasha turned and continued in the direction he was going to start with.
----------------------------------------------------------
Later that night Inuyasha reached a village and sat down in one of the taverns. It had been 15 years since Inuyasha and Kagome collected all the shards of the sacred jewel. It had also been 15 years since Inuyasha and Kagome fought along side all their friends against Naraku, and won. Inuyasha was alone now though.
He ordered a bottle of sake and took out of his kimono; the sacred jewel.
All that were left in the world now were demons. Humans had moved out of the way and demons ruled over all land. There were demons of all sorts but Inuyasha had never seen any demon like Satsuya. She was a demon of different sorts all together.
Inuyasha looked over flawless surface of the sacred jewel and saw Kagome in his mind smiling and waving.
"Inuyasha?" Came a familiar voice from the crowded bar.
Inuyasha turned around to see Koga.
"Hey!" Replied Inuyasha dully as he continued to stare at the jewel of four souls.
Koga took a seat by Inuyasha, "I didn't think I'd see you here again!"
The bar tender placed the bottle of sake next to Inuyasha.
"How are you my friend?"
Inuyasha replied by picking up the bottle of sake and taking a swig.
"Still that bad huh?"
Inuyasha just gave him a sideways glare.
"Look! I'm just as upset as you, but I've moved on. I mean; she was only human."
With that very comment, Inuyasha turned around and landed one right in Koga's jaw.
The whole bar went silent as Inuyasha stood up, paid the bar tender and walked out like nothing had happened.
Inuyasha walked to a hut to stay in when he saw some one being dragged into the village with chains around their wrists and 2 slip chains around their neck. Inuyasha stood up and walked forward with the rest of the crowd that was starting to gather. He saw the girl he bumped into earlier to day - Satsuya.
"Let go of me!" Yelled Satsuya but to every one except Inuyasha, Koga and his gang, she was speaking a different language.
In the world that was now, most demons only spoke either their own language or Japanese. Most demons could speak both and very little demons spoke an extra demonic language. Inuyasha knew dog language, Japanese and wolf. And Satsuya was not a dog demon of any sort.
"You bastards!" Yelled Satsuya.
She's speaking in wolf now? Why not just Japanese? Thought Inuyasha muffled.
That was the last thing Inuyasha could understand because she then started speaking in another tongue.
She can speak 3 demonic languages! Thought Inuyasha astounded.
"Hey mutt face! Can you understand what she's saying?" Asked Koga.
"No! But she was speaking wolf before!" Replied Inuyasha.
"You understand wolf?" Koga was astounded.
"Yea! I speak wolf, dog and Jap!" Replied Inuyasha dully as he continued to watch Satsuya's movements.
"So you are a multi-language demon?" Asked Koga.
"Yep!" Replied Inuyasha boastfully.
Satsuya slipped into another form of language that Inuyasha still could not comprehend but knew it was different from the last.
"She can speak 4?" Asked Inuyasha.
"She can speak 3?" Asked Koga straight after Inuyasha.
"Boss!" Called Hakkaku, "Did you hear that? She changed her language again."
"I know. The question is, can she speak Japanese?" Asked Ginta.
"Yea! Why doesn't she speak Japanese? Why does she swap from demon to demon?" Asked Inuyasha, "Unless…she can't speak Japanese."
Satsuya then attempted to fall to the ground but the slip chains around her neck suspended her from the ground by a foot, though she fell to her knees.
Every one gasped. Inuyasha just growled.
"Let…me…go!" Demanded Satsuya.
This time the crowd started to murmur. Inuyasha stopped growling, his expression stunned.
She's speaking dog! Thought Inuyasha shocked.
Did she just speak dog? Thought Koga as he looked at Satsuya wide eyed.
That's…more than 4 languages! Thought Inuyasha shocked to the bone.
"People of this village! This demon is our run away!" Spoke Sesshomaru as he walked in behind Satsuya on Ah-Un.
Every ones murmur got louder. Inuyasha's expression turned cold.
Run away? What is he talking about? Thought Inuyasha.
Satsuya stood up. Sesshomaru jumped to her side, the chains were shattered and Satsuya looked to the ground disappointingly and her eyes flickered sideways to see Inuyasha standing next to Koga.
"People of this village, I give you, Miyazaki." Said Sesshomaru.
"Miyazaki?" Muttered Inuyasha. "Her name is Satsuya!" Said Inuyasha loudly so every one could here him.
Sesshomaru turned to see his younger brother.
"Inuyasha! It is good to see you again!" Said Sesshomaru coldly.
"Inuyasha we don't want a fight!" Said Koga.
"You think she's a queen or something! I know that her name is Satsuya and she's travelling to—"
"No!" Yelled Satsuya in Japanese.
The crowed was aroused now.
She does speak Japanese. Thought Inuyasha.
"Oh? Does Inuyasha know something about your disappearance…my lady?" Asked Sesshomaru viciously and breaking Satsuya's personal boundaries.
Satsuya shut her mouth and tears swelled in her eyes.
"Would you like to tell us all where you have been running to?" Asked Sesshomaru.
Satsuya was silent in her response.
"Inuyasha!" Demanded Sesshomaru loudly, still looking at Satsuya.
The crowd was silent.
"I said…" Said Sesshomaru before yelling, "Inuyasha!"
The men that chased Satsuya over the cliff, stepped forward and threw Inuyasha to Sesshomaru's feet.
"What do you know?" Asked Sesshomaru.
"Only that her name is Satsuya and she was travelling around Japan." Said Inuyasha.
"Liar!" Sneered Sesshomaru and he whipped Inuyasha but Inuyasha blocked it with the sleeve of his kimono and was pushed back along the ground.
"No!" Screeched Satsuya in dog.
Sesshomaru lunged at his brother, Tokejin wielded. Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga and blocked Sesshomaru's attack.
"Stop this Sesshomaru!" Demanded Satsuya.
Sesshomaru didn't listen and continued with attacks.
Inuyasha used wind scar and was going to obliterate Sesshomaru when all of a sudden, the wind scar dissipated, Tetsusaiga was transformed into a rusty piece of junk and Tokejin turned to being an ordinary sword.
"What the—?" Inuyasha looked at Tetsusaiga with a muffled expression.
Sesshomaru sheathed Tokejin expressionless and looked at Inuyasha, ignoring the uproar of the gathered crowd.
"She's running away!" Said Ginta pointing at Satsuya who was running into the forest for her life.
"After her!" Demanded Sesshomaru and the men that forced her to jump off the cliff face chased after her with a loud war cry.
"We'll settle this afterwards!" Said Sesshomaru getting on Ah-Un and disappearing to the skies.
The villagers went back to what they were doing.
"She looked just like…Ka-Kagome!" Said Koga.
"Yea. But she's not the re-incarnation, that's for sure." Said Inuyasha.
"How do you know?" Asked Koga.
"Because she's no demon…nor human!" Said Inuyasha.
"What?" Asked Koga.
Inuyasha was silent as he contemplated his answer but Koga was impatient.
"You heard Sesshomaru as well as I did. He said she was a demon!" Said Koga.
"And unless she's lying to me, she told me that her name was Satsuya, he said her name was Miyazaki!" Replied Inuyasha looking to the ground.
"Sesshomaru hasn't been the one to lie."
"Yea well, I'm not staying here. I'm moving on!" Said Inuyasha turning slightly away from Koga.
"And where are you heading?"
"Home!" Inuyasha kept his head dipped to the ground and his back turned to Koga.
"You're travelling further west?"
"No, I'm travelling to the east." Snapped Inuyasha, turning around to meet Koga's confused gaze.
"What the hell? Last time I heard, you're home was in the west."
"As long as my brother reins in the west, its not my home." Inuyasha dipped his head once again.
"Well you could stay with me." Proposed Koga.
"No. I'm sick of castles! All I want to do is stay in a small village alone." Inuyasha turned his back to Koga.
"You'll need food sooner than later."
"I already have that sorted." Replied Inuyasha.
"Ok. If you say so." Said Koga.
Ever since the Naraku fight, Inuyasha and Koga had respected each other more. They worked side by side in that fight and even though they didn't finish him off together, they showed each other what they're capable of.
"I'll see you around." Said Koga.
"Yea. See you around." Said Inuyasha in his dull, flat and glum tone.
Inuyasha walked away from Koga and on to the East. Well, he already was in the east, but he wasn't far enough. Inuyasha stopped by another village but his mind was set on one thing. Not Kagome, not the sacred jewel, but of Satsuya. Who was she? What was she? Why did Sesshomaru want her? Was her name Satsuya – or was it Miyazaki?
