A/N: I like the couple Kouga/Kagome. Not as much as InuKago though. I always liked to think that Kouga's feelings were returned through his and and Kagome's children. It's a nice thought.

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha!

Thank you for reading! Please review! Please. For the children.

There were no demons in my world

Barely any spirits

But there are demons in this era

As many demons as there are humans

Only 500 years in the past

Where did they all go?

What happened to them all?

When did the age of demons end?

Myrrah drummed her fingers on the wooden table, never taking her eyes off Jaken.

"Why isn't it working?" She thought, as she shifted her legs.

Just as she was beginning to worry, she saw the frog demon's eyes droop shut and a bubble from his nose grow and shrink. Myrrah giggled and stretched her stiff, slightly pin filled legs. She was so happy that her lessons this morning were left to Jaken. It was always easy to sneak away from him. That morning at breakfast, Myrrah slipped in a high dose of concentrated Valerian root into his tea. She couldn't believe how fast he drank it without any suspicion. That stuff had a horrendous stench, but he drank it every time.

Myrrah affectionately patted Jaken on the head and slipped out of the room. She had a previous engagement and she refused to be late. She ran through the palace as quietly as possible. Sesshomaru wasn't home at the moment so the only person she really had to worry about was-

"Myrrah-chan?" She heard the voice of the person she was thinking of.

"O-Ohayogozaimasu, Obaa-chan," Myrrah turned to the person who called her.

"I thought you had lessons this morning," Her golden eyes narrowed a bit.

Myrrah swallowed hard and quivered under the powerful demoness's gaze. She was suspicious!

"I-I do," Myrrah thought quickly. "I was just on my way to the bathroom,"

"Alright, but hurry back,"

"Yes, obaa-chan!" Myrrah put a silly grin to mask her obvious deception. She walked as normally as she could around her grandmother and as soon as she was in the clear, she sprinted. "See you at lunch!" She called back and waved.

Myrrah heaved a big sigh of relief when she was at a safe distance. The Mistress of this castle was rarely frightening but it was always in everyone's best interest not to piss her off. She was most gentle with Myrrah though. The worst she'd seen was when her and Rin argued over all the sweets Myrrah ate. Having two guardians was nice but they often fought about how to raise her, discipline her, they once even argued about the clothes Myrrah wore to bed! At least her Obaa-chan never yelled or wagged her finger at her like Sessha-chan, Rin-chan, and Jaken.

Myrrah sprinted down the hallway. She had just successfully bypassed the biggest threat to her escape. She could easily avoid Rin and she was popular with all the servants and guards so they would never rat her out. She saw the main gate to the outside get closer. Her body grew hotter and hotter until she felt herself running on all fours. She burst through the front gate. 2 years ago she learned the hard way that she could only fly when in her true form. Pink and white clouds surround her legs as she ran through the open sky. Her pure white fur was blending in with clouds, making her invincible to those below.

She flew until she came upon the same place in the forest as yesterday. She gracefully touched down and sniffed the air, searching for his scent. Nothing so far. She than noticed that she was still in her true form. Sure all of her senses were heightened and she was was stronger and faster but she wasn't sure she would be noticed in the way she wanted to be noticed. Her body morphed back to it's human form. She was only wearing a thin dress but the Autumn breeze didn't faze her. Not even the Winter's snow seemed to bother her.

"Ryuk-kun?!" She called out and than smelled the wind for any trace of him. She found nothing. This was the right place. Why wasn't he here?

After the first hour of waiting, Myrrah was beginning to get a little upset. The second, she was almost in tears. She looked at the sky. The shadows' position showed that it would dusk soon. She had been gone for so long. Her family would be angry with her. She looked down at herself and felt silly. She was in her favorite white dress with asheer hem and sheer long sleeves. She was wearing crystal encrusted barefoot sandals and her long hair was styled up in two long pigtails. She even borrowed some her obaa-chan's lavender perfume and Ryuk wasn't even here!

Myrrah felt anger race through as her eyes turned red. She lifted her claw and cleanly sliced through a nearby tree. She listened to wood creak and snap, the rustle of the leaves, and the animals in the area flee. She heard something unusual and her head snapped in the direction of the noise. She saw a flash of red. She thought of brushing it off as just another red leaf but she knew this red flash. The same flash that had been following her most of her life. She hadn't thought of that in so long. That red flash that saved her. The red flash that left her so many presents. That red flash that followed her constantly. Even now it wouldn't leave her alone.

She regretted the perfume because she couldn't detect anything properly. It was overwhelming. She hopped onto a high tree branch. She was glad about the special sandals though. If it were up to her, Myrrah would never wear shoes again but all of the adults in her life were insistent.

Her red and blue eyes focused. There was defiantly something moving. Her fluffy ears perked up and turned to it's direction. The thing that was following her was human, running on two feet. It was an adult, but stronger and more agile than average. Myrrah would catch him she was above average. She saw silver mixed with the red. She followed behind at a safe distance. She was quiet and very light so her jumping on tree branches wouldn't give her away. She was following it for well over an hour, into territory that was forbidden to her.

The creature she was chasing had finally slowed down. They were nearing an open space in the forest. The creature slowed to a complete stop. Myrrah hid amongst the leaves, hoping it not only cover her body but her scent as well. Myrrah peered closer and covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. It was a man that had been following her. A man with a disturbingly identical appearance to her own. Everything was the same! The same long silver hair, the same golden eyes, even the same ears! Everything was the same, except the man before her didn't have the purple marks on his face. Myrrah gripped the bark and leaned against the main truck of the tree to stop herself from falling. Her body became numb and anger was replaced by confusion. Her red and blue eyes returned to their normal color.

How was this possible? Myrrah never thought of her origins. Sessha-chan and Rin-chan loved her so much, she didn't think it mattered. Her real parents didn't matter, not that she never wondered. Myrrah turned her head and looked at the man below again. He looked like he was contemplating something. A second later, he took off running at full speed. Myrrah jumped down from her perch. She sniffed the air. The perfume was fading and she could catch his scent again. This man was definitely the person who was following her. Which meant that he was also the person leaving her all those gifts. Who was he? Why did he look just like her? Was he her relative or just another dog demon? Why was he following her?

She sighed heavily. This was not the best day of her life. Ryuk ditched her, she came upon a person who looked just like her, and when she gets home, she will be in so much trouble. Not only for running away and lying, but for poisoning Jaken! Myrrah sighed again and her feet moved on their own. Still not ready to go home yet. The wind tousled her hair and pushed her further. She felt something bubble up inside of her, until it erupted through her eyes. Myrrah's legs buckled under and she fell. She cupped her face and sobbed. What an awful feeling.

Myrrah was so busy venting her emotions, she didn't hear her approaching. She only took notice when something warm and wet liked her hand. Myrrah's head shot up and she gasped.

"Oh," Myrrah groaned and put a hand over her racing heart. "It's only you, Korra," She scratched the teen wolf's ears.

"Whaddaya mean "It's only you, Korra,"?"

Myrrah knew that voice and nearly started crying again.

"We've been looking everywhere for you!" Ryuk stood before, with his arms folded and a scowl on his face. "Where were you? Are you hurt?" Ryuk approached her and picked her up bridal style. "You alright? Your face is all red,"

Myrrah was too stunned to speak. She was still cupping her face. Now it was to hid her blushing.

"So that's why we couldn't find you," Ryuk said after inhaling her scent. It was her perfume. "Why do you smell like this?"

"A-Ano, I thought you'd like," Myrrah said, dumbly.

"I do like it," Ryuk shrugged. "It was just a pain in the ass to find you,"

"G-Gomen," Myrrah lowered her head.

"Hey!" Ryuk shook her lightly when he saw her frown. "It's alright. Let's just get this smell off you so I can enjoy your pure scent," He smirked and leaned in dangerously close to Myrrah's face.

"H-How?" Myrrah asked as she playfully pushed Ryuk away.

"Let's go swimming!" Ryuk held her tighter against his body and took off running before Myrrah could protest.

The Palace

"Jaken, you baka! How could you let her go again!?" Rin snarled as she held up the little toad by the front of his shirt.

"Forgive me, Rin-sama!" Jaken begged.

"This is the 6th time that girl has poisoned you," Rin dropped Jaken to the floor.

There was a laugh in the corner of the room.

"She reminds me of Sesshomaru when he was her age," Okaa-sama said with a happy smile.

"I cannot possibly imagine Sesshomaru was ever like that," Rin turned to her mother-in-law.

"Oh, he was serious and regal, but he was never above being a trouble maker,"

"I'll tease him about that later, but what do we do about Myrrah?" Rin got back to the subject of her step daughter.

"What about Myrrah?" came a strong, slightly angry voice.

Everyone in the room froze.

"Welcome home, Anata," Rin clasped her hands together, a habit of hers when she knew her husband was agitated.

"Where's Myrrah?" Sesshomaru demanded in an angry voice.

"Well, ano..., you see-" Rin stumbled, while Jaken hid behind Rin's leg.

"Your pup slipped sleeping powder into the little demon's drink again and ran away," Okaa-sama said with a smug voice.

"Please forgive me, my Lord!" Jaken begged, still cowering behind his master's wife's leg.

"How long has she been gone?" Sesshomaru bit out. Keeping his composure at the moment was getting more and more difficult in wake of such incompetence.

"Since this morning," Rin said.

"Stay here," He ordered. "I'll be back,"

"Wow!" Myrrah exclaimed in awe. "I've never been to this lake before. It's beautiful!"

"Let's go!" Ryuk said while taking off his tunic.

"B-But isn't it cold?" Myrrah asked while looking away from naked upper body.

"Nah, it's not that bad. The water hasn't turned to autumn temperature yet," He pointed to Korra who was already splashing around. "See? It's not bothering Korra," Ryuk didn't wait for her response. He ran into the crashing waves with his wolf. Myrrah stood there and thought for a second. If she didn't go home now, she was sure everyone would kill her. Was it worth it?

Myrrah watched her friend splash and swim in the water. The sun was setting, making everything glow. Her rapidly beating heart calmed down a bit at the sight shifting water. Ryuk waved her over. She cast her doubts to the wind, flung off her dress, and jumped in.
