Little bird
Oh little bird
Where have you flown off to today
Across the stream
Over the hills
And the mountains far far away
Did you fly over the trees
Swiftly with the summer breeze
Or make it through the snow
Little Bird
Oh little bird
You'll never do such things
All you did was fall out of your cage,
And now I'll have to clip your wings
Momentum
Chapter 2
Caged
Sore
I felt sore
My body ached
My head hurt
Even my mouth had dried
Leaving me with a hoarse voice
"Who are you"
I questioned wincing slightly in pain
The demon…
Human…
Whatever it was seemed ignorant of my request
"Don't ask stupid questions"
His low voice hummed thorough the tiles
His eyes stared me down
His words seemed to be a question in itself
Who was he?
What was he?
He looked at me,
His stare cold and unwavering
And I, in turn, looked at him
I looked
And I saw
I saw who was actually in my presence
I saw the blood in his eyes
I saw his pale skin Illuminate in the darkness like a dulled light
I saw him and I knew
I knew the answer to my stupid question
Who else would reside in a place such as this
Stale air and frigid walls
Only one type being within the world would call this their home
"You are a kyuuketsuki"
Kyuuketsuki (or in more modern terms a vampire) were one of the most powerful demons in the known demon world.
As the Tengu had such strong links to the high heavens, the Kyuuketsuki had even deeper connections to the lands of darkness, residing in the dark earth core. They claimed not to be true demons, but descendants of the fallen. It seemed to be the truth, for their bonds to the heavenly beings were even stronger then the Tengu's.
They were strong
They were powerful
They ruled the demon world
And Father hated them
He hated them…
But he respected them.
As they ruled over the demon filled earth, we ruled in the heavenly skies. They never entered our domain, and we never entered theirs. We kept our distance from one another respectfully, in terms of our contract...
Until now
Father would pluck out my longest flight feathers if he knew where I was…
I should not be here
"I-I am sorry for entering onto your grounds"
I stated earnestly
My body shuttered in pain as I raised my head
I looked into his eyes hoping for some form of acknowledgment
There was none
"I became lost when flying," I tried to explain as my headache throbbed within my skull "and unknowingly entering your territory. While in your grounds when something had shot me down. While this is no excuse, I humbly beg your forgiveness, and pray that you will not hold hostility against my clan"
The Kyuuketsuki gave a curt nod
He accepted my plea
"Thank you for your immeasurable kindness and help"
I had sighed appreciatively as I worked up the strength to move once more
"If you could direct me to the outer door I will fly back home"
The kyuuketsuki did respond,
This made me nervous
He accepted my plea
Why did he not move,
"Um.. Sir?"
The red eyed kyuuketsuki looked at me
"You are home" the male stated simply
This made no sense
Was this a custom of greeting in the kyuuketsuki ways?
"Wha-What do you mean?" I questioned lightly
Scarred and inquisitive for my answer
The kyuuketsuki grunted,
Making his way towards a wall He stated
"You are my mate now, so this is your home"
He began to press the bricks on the wall in some complete order
I should be watching
Memorizing the movements
Trying to escape
But I couldn't
I had a bigger issue on hand
"I'm y-your mate?"
I couldn't believe this.
First Neji…
Now a kyuuketsuki?
Why did the gods see me as their play thing
Throwing me into these constant situations of trouble
Did they wish for me to suffer?
Watch me to fail once more and be punished?
Was this their amusement?
"How had this happened?"
I questioned,
I tried to speak with anger, with strength,
But only uneasy nervousness could be heard
The wall where he had once been pressing backed away slowly, creating an exit
The kyuuketsuki looked over at me once more
ignoring my previous questioning
Such an Aloof demon
"I will send someone to help you"
And as brief as his presence had entered this room
He left
Leaving me in the darkness once more.
With more questions than answers
Author Notes: Sorry, i know this chapter is short, but take note i tried to make it longer and had to rewrite it 5 times, i was afraid it sounded too twilight-y, and i can guarantee you that's not where this was going. I was going to attach the next scene onto this story but it didn't flow right, which angered me, so now... you have this short chapter. I'm sorry, but there will be more in the future i swear
PLEASE REVIEW!
