Hi. Sorry, I'm kinda tired. I just managed to run a whole ½ a mile without
stopping. *plunks down on futon* what I wouldn't give for a massage right
about now, running from yesterday has made me really sore. Oh well. At
least my fingers are still working.
Chapter Two Satsuki arrived at her Cliffside fortress. The castle like front was, you might say, carved in the cliff and the rooms extended inside. The nearly insane location prevented most attack. It faced the west to keep an eye on the dog demon lord of the western lands. Satsuki jumped with relative ease up the Cliffside and swung onto one of the many balconies. "Tokishii!" Satsuki called out in a demanding yet kind voice and the little sparrow hawk flew from the halls. Tokishii's head was adorned with golden & silver streaks symbolizing her as a servant of Satsuki's family. She kiered excitedly at seeing her old mistress. Satsuki held out her hand and the hawk alighted gently on it. "Tokishii! You're alive! I suppose that it has been a while." She stroked the bird's head and she rubbed up against her hand. "Now, enough with the formalities. I need you to find all my old subjects, preferably the demon ones. I am aware that most of my servants have gone to the demon lord Sesshoumaru. I will take care of that, but I would like you to deliver this to him." Satsuki conjured a sealed scroll and handed it to the hawk who took it in a talon. And with a cry, the hawk took off into the sunset. Satsuki watched him go for a moment before turning to the inside of her home. "Now to the humungous task of clearing this place of the demon filth that have come to live in my home. I just know I will never get rid of this stench." Satsuki grasped the handle to the first door she came to with a clawed hand and swung it open to find a particularly large boar demon who had apparently been stuffing his face from a cauldron that Satsuki's old cook had kept. "You naughty little glutton." She tsked at it and the thing looked dumbly in her direction. "I won't kill you here and go to all the trouble of moving your corpse away from here to rid my home of the stink." Satsuki pointed a finger at the creature and it rose into the air. The thing squealed in panic as it was quickly moved out of the fortress and was violently deposited in a large lake filled with kappas, which Satsuki planned to later kill when they slept off their meal. The demoness went throughout the evening exterminating various demons she found in the many rooms of her fortress. Soon she came to her old bedroom. A fluffy looking dog demon slept noisily on her bed. 'Nice hide, hope he won't mind if I take it.' Satsuki moved the thing from her room while it still slept and levitated it out over a balcony. With a quick flick of her wrist, she removed the hide from the creature and killed it with the same swipe. 'If I'm not careful I will poison the lake of the kappas with demon flesh. I suppose I could disperse its remains.' She twisted her hand the corpse lifted into the sky. 'Though it means that some village or other will be getting demon blood instead of rain for a day or so.' Satsuki turned the hide around in the air so the unfurred side faced her. She wrinkled her nose at the sight and scent, and then shoved her hand out at it. Blue light flowed from her palm and the blood disappeared, to leave behind a perfectly tanned hide with the luxurious fur still on. 'Now to be rid of this noxious scent.' Satsuki flexed her clawed fingers and the smell of dog in the hide vanished. "Much better." She snapped her fingers and the hide flew back to her bedroom. 'I believe that is all the demons.' She dusted her hands and went back to her bedroom. She knew that it wouldn't be until morning before the western lord sent his reply, and she lay down on the new fur and fell into a dreamless sleep.
I'm just gonna fall asleep now. *falls over backwards* Zzzzzzz
