The Youkai and the Human Girl
By: Silver Inu Youkai
Chapter Nine: Help Riku or Naraku?
Riku sat in a dark room. The only light that could be seen was through a screen in front of him. Riku saw a figure beyond the screen and tried to strain his eyes to see the figure.
"Who the hell are you?" Riku asked his voice just as cold as Sesshomaru's was most of the time toward Inuyasha.
Naraku smiled lightly and stood up and opened the screen door and a light came into the room. Naraku walked over to Riku and looked down at him sitting on the ground with his hands and feet tied together.
"Why did you kidnapped me you ugly ass baboon?" Riku asked his fangs showing when he opened his mouth to speak.
"You can tell that you are Lord Sesshomaru's son, you have his great attitude." Naraku said with a light smirk on his face.
"What the hell are you smirking at? When I get my hands free I'll ripe your fucking head off and then I'll..." Riku was cut short by a young girl falling through the doorway.
The young girl was a human and she had raven black hair that was tied back into a low ponytail and her eyes were an emerald green.
"Damn clumsy girl what in the hell were you doing?" Naraku asked and walked over to her and looked down at the frightened young girl.
Riku watched the young girl cower in fear of the evil hanyou as he towered over her. 'I wonder who she is and why is she here with him, is she his slave or something? I mean father has servants but they are treated as equals and are never really commanded to do things but they are asked politely.' Riku thought as he watched Naraku hit the young girl over the face and her fly against the wall. "Leave her alone damnit!" Riku yelled and tried to free himself from his tied up hands.
Naraku turned and looked at Riku with disgust on his face. "You're just like your father and his father was. You show mercy toward these worthless humans. Why don't you leave you join me and kill your parents and take over your soon to be lands and we can rule over the humans." Naraku said as he walked closer to Riku.
"You touch her one more time and I'll beat your fucking ass until you suffer as much as she did." Riku said as he kept his gaze on the young girl.
Naraku slightly laughed and turned and walked out of the room leaving Riku and the young girl cowering on the floor near the wall.
Riku watched Naraku walk out of the room and then he turned back toward the young girl lying on the floor.
"Hey," Riku said, as he looked at her a little worried. "Are you all right?"
The girl looked at him like he was some fearful creature and moved closer to the wall like he was going to attack her. "Please don't hurt me."
"I'm not going to hurt you I was just wondering if you were all right, my name is Riku Prince of the Western Land Dog Demons and you are?" Riku asked trying to move to where he could get a better look at her.
"My name is Seire, my family was murdered when I was younger and Naraku took me in and made me his slave. I wish I could leave this dreadful place but I'm just a mere human and he's half demon." Seire said and lowered her head to look at her hands.
Riku couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Her story sounded just like the one his mother had told him about her life when she had first met his father. She had told him that her family was killed by spider heads even Aino but then my father brought her back with the help of his sword.
"I wish I get away from here and live happy some place." Seire said and a single tear fell down her cheek.
Riku looked at her and then he had a great idea. "Hey when my parents come to rescue me why don't you come back with me to the western lands, I promise none of the demons there are like Naraku." Riku said and looked at the girl waiting for her answer.
Seire looked at him puzzled. No demon or even half breed had ever tried to be this nice to her before, he was different he acted almost like a human instead of a demon. "You would really let me live in the castle of the western lands with you and your family?" Seire asked a little confused.
"Yes no one deserves to live like this." Riku said and then he let a growl come from deep with in his chest when a young woman pushed the screen back and walked toward him. Her name was Kagura's.
"So you are the son of Sesshomaru then. Well you sure resemble him that's for sure." Kagura said as she kneeled down in front of Riku and pulled his face up to where she could look him in the eyes. "But you also have worthless human in you." Kagura said and then she flung him against the wall that Seire was sitting next to.
"Prince Riku," Seire said and moved over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you all right?"
Riku turned and looked at her and smiled. "Yes I'm fine it's going to take more than a wall to kill me Seire." Riku said and sat up with a growl as he watched Kagura.
"So your going to take after your father then, what is it with dog demons and worthless humans?" Kagura asked as she turned and walked back out of the room.
Seire and Riku sat on the floor next to the wall and watched the screen fall back in place as Kagura left. Then Seire turned and looked at Riku. "What does she mean by your just like your father?" Seire asked letting her curiosity get the best of her.
Riku turned toward her slowly and looked into her green eyes. "My father's father fell in love with a human and was considered weak for it and he had my uncle Inuyasha, and my father also fell in love with a human who he took in after she had no one else in the world and then I was born." Riku said and smiled at the thought of his mother and father.
Seire watched him and then she smiled when he mentioned his parents. " I bet you really miss them don't you?" Seire asked in a kind and caring voice as she moved closer to Riku and smiled at him.
"Yes I do." Riku said and smiled over at her. "You know what your really quite beautiful Seire." Riku said and smiled at her weakly.
Seire and Riku sat there just staring into each other's eyes for what seemed like hours until Seire finally spoke.
"Prince Riku does your father and mother have the same color eyes that your do?" Seire asked as she looked into his golden eyes.
Riku smiled at her words and then turned his attention toward the door when he heard the screen being moved.
Naraku walked in and looked over at the two sitting next to the wall and slightly smirked. "So I see that you have made you a friend Prince Riku." Naraku said and smirked.
Riku started to smirk when he caught the scent in the air and noticed his mother and father's scent in the wind along with the other lords. "Naraku if I were you I wouldn't be smarting your ass off to me right now because when I get lose your fucking ass is mine." Riku said and smirked.
Naraku was about to say something when a huge explosion outside and turned to see a figure standing in the doorway and his face was hid by the shadows.
"Naraku," Sesshomaru said as he walked through the door and then his attention shot over to his son sitting on the floor near a young human girl. "Son are you all right?" Sesshomaru asked his voice cold and uncaring but Riku knew that he wouldn't act the way he did around him and his mother around Naraku.
"Yes father I'm fine." Riku said in a tone close to his father's.
"Lord Sesshomaru it didn't take you long to come after your son did you bring Lady Kisu?" Naraku asked in a emotionless tone as he looked at Sesshomaru.
"I'm here you damn monkey." Kisu said as she walked up next to Sesshomaru.
"Ah Lady Kisu you have changed since the last time I seen you." Naraku said and started to walk toward her but stopped when Sesshomaru let a growl escape his mouth. "So I see that you are very protective of your mate." Naraku said and turned and walked over to Seire and in one swift movement had his hand wrapped tight around her neck.
"No! Seire, Naraku let her go she has nothing to do with this battle." Riku said in almost a pleading tone.
Kisu and Sesshomaru just looked at each other in shock at their son's words.
"Do you think he likes her?" Kisu whispered over in Sesshomaru's ear but Riku heard her.
"Mother!" Riku yelled and his face turned a deep red color.
"What I was just asking your father a question." Kisu said and smiled at her son.
"Well since no one seems to care that I'm here I'll just kill her and then I might be noticed." Naraku said and tightened the grip on Seire's neck and she gasped for air.
"Seire!" Riku yelled knowing she couldn't stand it much longer.
