Curse of the Wolf:
The others woke at Inuyasha's cry and
there stood Akala in her human form with no wounds, no pain, fully
healed, she bowed to them.
"I thank you for your help,"
"It's
the priestess from the village," Shippo spoke jumping on to
Kagome's shoulder.
"Wow it is, this is so weird!"
"Enough
talk Kagome, just who exactly are you, what are you?" Inuyasha
yelled, Akala frowned then whispered,
"Cursed by night, human
by day, I am Akala." She then turned and walked off heading
back to Lord Sesshomaru, she hoped he would understand what had
happened yet she stopped as Inuyasha jumped in front of her.
"You
aren't going nowhere until you answer my question!" She
blinked and looked back at the others as they neared,
"How
did you become... cursed?" Kagome asked.
"50 years
ago..."
(Flash Back)
She limped from the burned down village,
holding her chest where her heart bled she gasped wincing in pain as
she walked with her spear like a walking stick. Demons attacked her
village she was unable to defeat them but managed to get away yet
with this death wound she wouldn't last long. She collapsed against
a Sakura tree and panted heavily,
"Oh Holy spirits... I have
failed…"
"Not completely," she turned gasping as
she saw a great White wolf looking down at her from a hill, she tried
to raise her hand to summon her spiritual power.
"Now now
child I mean you no harm only to offer a gift,"
"Demon
be gone!" Her powers flared and the wolf dodged the bolt he
growled,
"Well now you don't deserve a gift but a curse will
do just fine!" He barked and from his body emitted a bright
light and it was absorbed into Akala's body she screamed as the sun
had set she transformed into the black wolf. She looked down at
herself felt no pain, she was completely healed she looked at the
angered wolf,
"By night a wolf, by day a human your power
birthed from the beast of earth!" The wolf vanished and she sat
there alone in the form of the demon wolf only did morning come again
did she return and realize she was cursed by the demon wolf.
(End FlashBack)
Inuaysha and his group all thought of her
story it was amazing and tragic to them and Sango asked,
"Wait
you said 50 years ago so that means.... but you look like you are in
your twenties," she looked down.
"You're immortal like a
demon you age slowly like them now," Inuyasha answered and Akala
nodded.
"This is true; this is my curse which was to be a
gift to keep me alive. I live with it and accept it."
"Can
it be broken?" Kagome asked before Akala could answer a voice
came from behind them,
"Why would you do that?" They
turned to see Lord Sesshomaru.
