Chapter 10: Problem Child
"What should we do with 'er?"
"What else? Fry 'er!"
"Well she's the lord's brother's daughter."
"So?? That's 'is problem! If 'e 'ad just 'ad a normal child, then this wouldn't 'ave 'appened!"
Inu Onna sat in a little cage that the priests had made specially for "evil killer demons such as the likes of her," as the villagers referred to her. The cage was behind a hut, and the humans were standing some ways off deciding her fate: Kill or kill. She didn't see her parents around arguing or attempting to but her out. Or they might have been schemeing at that moment, or arguing off somewhere out of her earshot, which was a hundred or so radius square feet around her. If that was the case then it was okay, but that was obviously not the case, so stuck in that cage she stayed.
She hugged her knees and for some reason didn't feel like crying. She didn't cry as often as she did those days. Being seven was soooo stressful. It was strange because when she did cry, she would act it out as worse then she really felt, which usually got her the attention she wanted and more. But she didn't want to now. She just wanted to die. Dieing would be the easy way out, but that was okay with her. Things were never going to change. She had no blessings, no friends, she was nothing but a worthless, ugly, hanyo.
Then she heard the voice of the wind stranger, and what was strange about that was that the wind wasn't blowing this time in his entrance. She heard his voice as if he were right next to her, whispering in her ear. "Poor little girl."
"Leave me alone!" she whined.
"You try so hard, but it always backfires. You deserve so much better, you do."
"I said get lost!" she cried out. "Can't you leave the dead to peace?"
"But you are not dead." He said stating a fact that sounded like a question.
"I should be and I will soon. At least when I'm dead I won't be such a burden on my parents. They can have their human son that they love so much more, they can have a day with sunshine and hibiscus, they can lounge together as a family and not have to worry about an ugly hanyo scar on their could-be-better life." Her breath had become shaky and she buried her face in her arms.
Then the voice said in a strangely calming voice. "Let it out. Cry to your heart's content. You deserve your minute of emotion. If there ever was one to cry, it would be you and only you." Inu Onna burst into tears in her sleeves. She felt a bodily presence behind her but didn't turn to look at it. "They never did understand you. Your father, the thickheaded fool that he is would never understand the pain you feel. And your mother, what help is she? She's more interested in that little human brat. Everyone else, they only care about themselves. Cry, weep, let it out."
She continued to cry, and she had to admit that she did feel better afterwards.
"That's better, isn't it? Now imagine if you could feel happy all of the time. Everyone around you accepts you, they love you for who you are and never hurt you."
Inu Onna stopped crying and stared at the dirt of the ground in front of her.
"There is such a place Inu Onna, and I could take you there. Forever bliss."
Inu Onna wiped her nose on her sleeve and glared at the ground. "You're a smooth talker." She said. "But how can I trust you if I've never seen you."
A few minutes of silence passed by and she buried her face in her arms again. Then she heard his voice, at a normal level of converse. "There. You may see me." She looked up and saw a tall man with long stringy black hair. He had the features of a demon in human form. It's a hard process getting a human disguise, said by her uncle Sesshomaru. Demons in human form can't look completely human, the form doesn't always come out right so that when they still have the same gender, tcertain features such as the face looks like a cross between a man and a woman. He wore an expensive kimono and looked down at her expressionlessly. She stared back in silence.
After a moment he came over and opened her cage. She stepped out silently and he said, "I can bring you to this place of happiness, in return that you bring me two things. Bring me the steel cleaving fang, tetsusaiga, and your younger brother, Inu Otoko."
Inu Onna started to walk away when she realized she needed more information. "How will I know where to find you?"
He started to walk backwards into the woods. "Don't worry, I will find you."
She asked one more question before he disappeared. "What is your name??"
"Naraku."
Inu Onna ran across the field and into the castle. There were many people around, she had to hurry, when they found out that she was out of the cage, she wouldn't have to worry about a mob of ten or so people, the whole village would be after her!
She cracked the screen of her parents room and peeked in, which she had learned from experience, was not a smart thing to do-especially at night. They weren't in. She went in and saw a small podium sort of thing in the room, where a rusty sword was sticking out of a lump of clay. There was a spell on the clay, that only family members of Inu Yasha could pull it out. She pulled it out no sweat, then went on to her brother. He was lying in a small bed, fast asleep. She felt like smacking him awake, but she didn't have the time, plus his crying would have everyone after her.
She put him in a bunting, being careful not to awaken him, then started to run off.
Inu Yasha sniffed the air.
"What is it, Inu Yasha?" Miroku asked. They had just spent the last half an hour lying the dead out on mats and sitting through Miroku's prayer for their safe trip to the afterlife. They were about to rap things up and go pull Inu Onna away from the disgruntled villagers.
"It's Inu Onna, she's run past here recently." He said looking disappointed again. "I think she's escaped."
Sango kneeled in front of her son in prayers position. "Inu Yasha, she's just a sad child who needs help."
"She's making things worse. Now it'll be harder to keep the villagers away from hurting her." Inu Yasha said.
"We'd better find her before they do." Kagome said.
Then all of a sudden, a tornado whirlwind came flying in and knocking Inu Yasha over. The wind stopped and Kouga jumped out at him. "WHERE IS SHE!!"
