Human Sacrifice: The God of Koriyama Village

(Part One)

"This stupid kid bit me," the tall dark haired girl dressed in what seemed to be a wrap around tight dress Chinese style, long, with slits on both sides of the legs, short sleeves that cuffed her shoulders, red with gold embellishment weaved throughout. She forcefully unwrapped her hands from around Inuko dropping him to the ground.

"He's a half-demon what did you think Ruka, leave him be and stop fussing..." the other sister, a scar covered her right eye, her long flowing silver hair blew against the wind. Her kimono was that the same color as her hair, with hints of blue, purple, and black splattered all over it. She wore thick armour over her chest, it covered to her knees, and her kimono was shortly cropped into a skirt. Around her waist skin of a once wild animal wrapped gently between her armour.

Inuko glared at Ruka, he snarled and hissed under his breath. Haku and Kira clung to him, both scared and shaking. "That stupid little menacing half-demon shed my blood, look sister his teeth penetrated my flesh, I think we should sacrifice him to the Youkai first sister." Ruka spoke rubbing her arm, she ripped a piece of cloth draped in the wagon that had brought the children, and wrapped it around her arm.

"Enough Ruka, our lord Menkotsu requires human sacrifices in order to be fully resurrected..." she probed, and turned her gaze to Ruka who was counting the children they had captured.

"Ruka what are you doing?" She spoke her words in a calm voice, approaching her sister. "Sena, we don't have enough children to resurrect our lord... he will surely be disappointed." Ruka pouted clasping her hands together child-like.

"Do not worry sister, we have more than enough... when night falls we will take the children back in the locked wagon and down the mountainside, our lord awaits us... finally our brother will return to us sister." She smiled throwing her arms to the air grazing the sky with her eyes.

Inuko eyes darted between Ruka and Sena; he wouldn't move his gaze from them. A deep menacing rumble choked in his throat, he hissed and bared his teeth. "That child, what is he sister? I have not seen his liking before..." Ruka asked mischievously eyeing Inuko. She picked up a stick and poked at him.

Inuko hissed and pushed the stick away. "You're no fun!" Ruka pouted, throwing the stick to the flaming fire pit.

"He must be born of a half-demon, his scent is not of human, more so he is powerfully strong for his age, and we must be on our guard Ruka. His kin may come looking for him," Sena retorted pushing strands of her long hair behind her ears.

Ruka plopped down on the ground next to the horse drawn wagon and scrimmaged through the miscellaneous items they had stolen from the village. Inuko stood up and held his hands to the air growling. "Look Sena," Ruka cocked her head towards Inuko, her hands fumbled with objects. "That boy wants to challenge us," she added moving her eyes to Sena.

Sena turned and looked at Inuko, "Really Ruka, you can't handle a little boy," she chimed twirling a piece of her hair through her fingers. "Aww but I wanted to dig through all the useless crap we stole." Ruka staggered to her feet taking in a deep sigh.

She held up a large Japanese style fan in her hand, it was larger than her own being, she held it behind her back. The fan shivered against the wind, what looked like string projected from the creases of the fan tangled between Ruka's fingers.

"Well little boy, I'm not really in the mood to fight with a baby, but..." she hissed smiling standing her ground. Inuko dug his feet into the ground and snarled.

"Inuko don't fight..." Haku shouted at him. She hovered with the rest of the children behind Inuko. "Bad bad girl..." Inuko said hissing. Ruka looked bored; she sighed deeply and pulled her pony tail over her shoulder.

Inuko ran towards Ruka and jumped at her. Ruka held her hand up towards him, throwing him to the ground. Inuko scantly sat up, rubbing his head. "That hurt," he said tears filled his eyes.

"Ruka, he's just a child stop messing around, snuff him into the bag and throw him in the wagon." Sena contemplated, also bored, she placed a hand to her hip and turned around scanning the trees with her eyes.

"Alright, alright..." Ruka said folding her fan with her hand, placing it back against her back. She dug in the wagon for a bag she remembered stealing as well, and emptied it shaking it on the ground.

"Come here boy," she turned around and hissed glowering at Inuko. He stood up and looked at her; grinding his feet to the ground he held his claws out towards her. "Stupid child," she said coming towards Inuko. She reached out and picked him up by his clothes, he struggled trying to fend her off.

"No, papa will find you..." he hissed shouting at Ruka, he threw his fists into the air fighting her off. "Your father huh, if he's anything like you brat he doesn't stand a chance," she remarked snuffing Inuko into the bag. She tied it quickly as he fought to get out.

"Stop struggling boy," she taunted throwing him into the back of the wagon locking the wooden bared crate.

(Kaede's Village)

"What happened Rin tell us everything," InuYasha remarked helping Kaede to her feet. "Master InuYasha I'm sorry, I tried..." she said her eyes filled with tears. "Rin, its okay... we'll find them," Miroku said calmly.

Sango sat next to me, in Kaede's home and didn't speak. I placed a hand to her shoulder comforting her. Rin started to explain how the two sisters came through the village, in a horse drawn wagon stealing from villagers. They stole precious items, jewellery, money, and even crops. Then at night they hide out in the woods until the village fell silent, and they came through the homes and stole all the children.

"I'm so sorry..." Rin whimpered. Miroku placed a hand to her head comforting her. "Kagome, I tried everything... my fox magic wasn't strong enough to fight them off..." Shippou replied, looking up at me. "You tried Shippou," I stuttered hugging him. "Look, we have to find the two who stole the children and get them back," InuYasha hissed.

"Ney InuYasha, be warned they are powerful demons," Kaede's voice cracked. She sat next to Rin rubbing her shoulder. "Aye, I could not fend them off with my spiritual powers either, be careful InuYasha..." Kaede atoned.

InuYasha stood up and Miroku followed. "Kohaku, stay here and protect the village," Miroku nodded and looked at Kohaku. Kohaku nodded at Miroku, acknowledging his request.

"Miroku," Sango said turning to him. She stood up and grabbed her Hiraikotsu, "No Sango you stay here with Kagome," Miroku replied holding a hand to out to her. "I don't think so," she hissed grabbing her pouch, which held her mask and slayer outfit. I stood up as well and grabbed my bow and arrows.

"Kagome, what do you think you're doing let me and Miroku handle this," InuYasha fumed. "I don't think so, they took Inuko and now I'm mad," I replied pushing past Miroku and InuYasha.

"Yikes, she's really scary..." Miroku replied, Sango followed behind me, without questioning.

(The Western Lands)

"That smell," Sesshomaru sniffed the air. "InuYasha's scent was carried through these parts," Sesshomaru looked around the darkened forest and sniffed the air again.

"Jaken," he shouted. "Yes m'lord," Jaken replied stumbling towards Sesshomaru. "We are travelling through the forest, to find InuYasha..." Sesshomaru cocked his head to one side eyeing Jaken.

"Master InuYasha sir? Why are we in search of him Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken questioned his voice nervously staggered.

"His offspring is near," Sesshomaru replied, pulling Ah-un by the reigns.

"That stupid boy will not stop mumbling he's giving me a headache," Ruka hissed resting herself against the wagon. She nudged the crate with her elbow. "Shut up kid," she shouted.

Inuko mumbled words at her, she didn't understand his language. "Let the child be Ruka, gather up the rest of the children..." Sena proclaimed, turning away from the ledge of the cave. "It is almost time sister..." Sena added, coming towards the children.

Ruka stumbled to her feet and did the same. "Here kiddies, we're going for a little ride..." Ruke atoned, stepping before her sister; she came towards the children who buried themselves deeper into the cave.

"No," Kira shouted, "No," Haku shouted. Both held rocks in their hands. All the other children did the same. "Well, well... Retaliating aren't we?" Sena smiled, pushing a hand through her hair. "Let me play with them sister please, I can have so much fun..." Ruka begged, looking at Sena.

"No Ruka, we cannot harm them. Now hurry brings them to the wagon, help me!" Sena replied reaching her arms out to pick up some of the children.

Ruka bent down and reached for Haku and Kira, she picked them up by their kimono's they dropped the rocks out of their hands. She carried them under her arms. Ruka turned and staggered awkwardly to the wagon, "Stop struggling you little brats," she staggered again wavering.

Sena picked up Koji, and another child also in her hands, pulling them to her arms. As she was about to turn to take them to the wagon a sword flashed before her hitting the ground.

"Those children do not belong in these lands," Sesshomaru's voice bellowed, he let his sword drop to his side. "Wow, he's beautiful..." Ruka beamed throwing Haku and Kira into the crate. They looked at each other and at the opened crate door; they quickly reached to unravel Inuko from the bag.

"Lord Sesshomaru," Sena replied placing the children down to the ground. They ran back to the other children and huddled together. "So you know of me," he replied coldly.

"The lord of the western lands and the keeper of the legendary sword Tensaiga," Sena explained, giving Sesshomaru a history lesson. "Enough release the children..." He hissed charging at Sena.

"I believe not," She taunted releasing a sword from her sheath that rested against her back.
