How Two Worlds Crossed
(Prequel to Inugang Meets Interesting Girl)
Touga was out patrolling his lands as he usually did every few days. 'Everything seems so dull recently. I'm tempted to wish something would happen just to have something to do.' He returned home after making his rounds and was displeased to see stacks among stacks of paperwork on his desk in his study. "If this is a time of peace why so much paperwork." He groaned to no one in particular.
He sat down for what he knew was going to be a long time filled with nothing but tedious letters, announcements, and other things of the like.
Touga had been working for what seemed like forever, but he was finally finished. With a job well done he walked out his study and down the hall. 'I can finally relax.' He thought as he walked into the room he sensed his mate and child to be in. 'Or so I hoped.'
His mate, Inukimi, was sitting in a chair looking out the window that over looked the gardens. Sesshomaru, his child, was in a desk working on his studies. 'When I wanted a family I thought it would be a bit livelier.'
Sesshomaru looked up at his father upon his entrance and gave him a nod. Having received a nod in response he turned his attention back to his studies. His mate, unlike his child, didn't acknowledge him. She was a cold woman, who only mated him for her own benefits. She loved to mess with the servants and torment them only being nice to those who had something to offer to her.
She already messed up their child with the way she acted. She made him just as cold as her, except he wasn't nice to anyone. Respectful, but not nice. Sighing Touga knew something needed to change or the boy would grow to be a real pain. 'He needs friends and to have fun, like normal pups.'
Touga walked out and toward his chambers. He suddenly felt very tired. Thinking of his child and what his mate had done to him usually left him like that.
4 days later
It was time for him to go on patrol again. He raced through the forest at this point just looking for a fight. 'Please let a village be attacked, or a demon raging in the forest. Just let there be something.'
As if his thoughts were heard a roar sounded in distance off to his right. He headed straight for it.
A large snake demon swung its tail aiming for a small body on the other side of the clearing, which dodged just in time not to get hit… at least not completely. The small body fell off to the side of where the tail landed. It appeared to be wounded.
"Now hold ssstill while I swallow you whole!" The snake hissed as it lunged for the wounded opponent with its fangs bared. Before it could get close enough to bite a white blur came from the forest and punched it away from the small being.
Once it recovered its balance the snake hissed. "Why do you interfere with my dinner?"
"Just bored and you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now, do you wish to die or will you find a meal elsewhere?" Touga said cracking his knuckles. It hissed once more before retreating into the forest.
He turned toward the being he just saved. This peaked his interest. The thing looked like a huge pile of hair. It was still in the same position as it was when the snake tried to smash it with its tail.
He walked over slowly, but as he got closer he could smell blood. "Are you injured?" he asked having the sneaking suspicion it was watching him. "Can you understand me?" he asked still moving closer.
He stopped about a foot from where it was laying and knelt down. The smell of blood was coming from what he was assuming was its leg. He took this time to inspect the creature closer to try and guess what he was dealing with. Long strands of hair covered its form from head to toe and then some. It was 3 different colors red, white, and black. The black strands looked like smoke, while the white ones held a striking contrast that caught your eye. The red strands glistened in the light like blood… or was that her blood. Either way all together it looked like silk.
'I wonder if it feels like silk.' Before he knew it he was reaching out to touch the silky strands. It moved away from his hand bring him out of his daze.
"I am fine." It was barely a whisper and if he was not a demon he wouldn't have heard it at all. 'It's a girl.'
"Are you sure? I can smell the blood." He said seeing if she would speak more.
"I am fine." She repeated.
"I see." He saw something shining in the corner of his eye. "What's that?" A sword was stuck in the ground not 10 feet away. It looked like it had been discarded during battle. "Is that your sword?" This time he got no answer.
He walked the short distance to the weapon. 'There's something strange about this sword.' The sword had an aura of its own and it seemed to grow with each step he took closer, like it was alive. Unconsciously his hand slowly reached out to grab it and satisfy his curiosity.
"Don't touch her." He was suddenly brought back to reality and saw the hair girl sitting in front of him taking a protective stance in front of the sword. This time he could see her face. She had scars all over her face but what really caught his eye was her eyes, a pair of beautiful sky blue eyes.
