Author's note: Okay so to those reading this, this is a short chapter but I promise that there shall be more to come. I'm not too keen on the chapters with Umi's perspective but I shall try to be fair and give her her fair shot. I've written all the way up to about chapter twenty but still have a few tweaks seeing as how I changed my mind about a few things. As always I love feedback so please let me know what you all think! Thank you!
Chapter Six
Umi watched in horror as Yuri's blue eyes clouded over in agony and total failure while she was carried off on the man's shoulder. "Yuri!" She cried out but it was too late and the demon was too fast. She yelled and clawed at the man's armor until her hands started to bleed from the force but he seemed not to care. "Put me down! I'm going to kill you for this you damn dog!" She screamed as she bit down hard on his exposed shoulder only to gag as she tasted the acid from his blood on her tongue. "You are going to come with me Umi as it was always intended." She stopped for a second, a frown of confusion on her face before she realized that the ground was miles below them making her scream in fear, her claws digging into his skin.
"I am not going anywhere with you, you freak! PUT. ME. DOWN!" She yelled and attempted to squirm out of his strong grasp but couldn't twist her way out from the position she was in. "If you don't stop moving then I will be forced to drop you and not even a fox of your stature would survive the fall." His cold voice sent a shiver down her spine as his words sunk in. "Death would be better than being treated like this…" She mumbled without thinking about it only to scream as she felt her body being tossed aside, the wind rushing through her long black hair. This was it. She was going to die. Her heart raced in terror as she looked up at the man who was standing on some sort of cloud, the sun light reflecting off his long silvery hair, his yellow eyes cold as they stared down at her.
She felt a tear escape from her eyes unwillingly, knowing that Yuri was somewhere out there probably dying in an attempt to go after her and here she was falling to her own death at the hands of this handsome although psychotic dog demon whoever he was. A second later she heard a strange whooshing sound of something large moving through the air below her before she landed hard on something wearing what seemed to be a saddle. Wincing in pain she noticed a young human girl smiling at her from beside a small green toad man holding a two headed staff and glaring at her. "You're lucky Lord Sesshomaru decided to spare your life fox. Otherwise you'd be splattered all over the ground by now!" The toad grumbled and Umi managed to sit upright and rubbed the bruise she knew she was bound to have from the impact. "Hello! My name is Rin! What's your name?"
The little girl asked causing Umi to blink in confusion, unsure as to what was going on now. A second ago she was headed to her early grave but now she was being saved at the last minute by what appeared to be his traveling companions? This world was a lot more confusing than she remembered it being.
"Uh, I'm Umi." She looked around and realized the thing she was sitting on was a two headed dragon demon that was also flying in the air. "Hi Umi! That's a pretty name. Are you a demon like Lord Sesshomaru?" Umi was about to answer when the little toad spoke up instead. "Unlikely. Lord Sesshomaru is the greatest demon lord to ever exist! None come even close to his prowess and abilities." Umi's steel grey eyes narrowed before she picked up the small toad and brought his ugly face to hers.
"I hope you realize that I am Lady Umi, nine tailed fox and heiress to the Southern lands. If anything you should be wondering if this Sesshomaru is as great a demon as I am. Now tell me how to fly this thing so I can get the hell out of here." Umi grabbed for the reigns of the dragon demon only to have her hands smacked by the staff of the toad thing. "Master Jaken! That's not very nice!" Rin exclaimed while Umi attempted to fly the dragon but the beast refused to take any directions from her.
"I wouldn't suggest doing something you might regret later Lady Umi. You have no choice but to come with me." The dog demon, Sesshomaru, said as he led the way nonchalantly. 'Great. Now how was she going to get back to Yuri?'
