A/N: Inuyasha doesn't belong to me, (DUH PEOPLES, LIKE, COME ON) it belongs
to the great Rumiko Takahashi, but Keiko, Emiko, Yuki, Reiko, Rena, Akemi,
Akane, Kajiime, Yusuke, Satoru, Kiyoko, Kalaia, Kazumi, and Hana are
creations of my mind. I also don't own the song, 'Concrete Angel.' Martina
McBride owns it.
Amaya sat on the floor, listening to her headphones. Her elder cousin, Yusuke, the second son of Lord Sesshoumaru and Lady Kajiime, was babysitting her. She danced around happily, in her own little world. There was a crash, then a bang. Amaya jumped to her feet.
"Yusuke-sama, what was that?" She asked. He shook his head.
"I... I have no idea, kid." The young adult said. "You wait here, understand? None of that sneaking away when no one is looking." Amaya nodded. Yusuke carefully opened the door. Amaya barely had time to scream when it was busted down. Yusuke jumped away and landed in front of Amaya.
"Amaya-chan, when I say run, do so." He commanded under his breath. She shivered in fright; the castle had never been raided before.
"'Kay." She said.
Yusuke leapt at Naraku. His claws extended as he tried slashing the demon. Naraku dodged them and ran at Amaya. The hanyou froze in her tracks.
"Amaya! Run!" Yusuke yelled. Amaya had been trapped; there was nowhere that she could run to. She screamed as Naraku grabbed her. She gasped in fright and slashed him with her claws. When Naraku began bleeding, he threw her to the ground.
"Useless hanyou..." He muttered an incantation, and Amaya suddenly stopped whimpering. She tried talking, but nothing came out.
"You have lost your voice. You will soon lose you sight. But not after you watch your cousin die." He used another incantation and Amaya found herself frozen in place. Naraku lunged at Yusuke. After five minutes, Naraku seemingly disappeared. Yusuke looked around the room for the rogue demon, but he was gone. Yusuke ran over to Amaya.
"You okay, kid?" He asked. Amaya nodded, apparently the spell had worn off. Yusuke's back was turned to Naraku, who had just reappeared. Amaya started shivering again, and tried to tell him that Naraku was there. Yusuke noticed but didn't turn around.
"Amaya, I'm sorry, it was my fault that you cannot speak. I could've protected you better. And-" Yusuke was cut off by the eight-year-old.
"KEH!!!!" She yelled, just as one of Naraku's tentacles smashed into Yusuke's head. He fell into Amaya's arms limply.
"Am... aya. I want you to take care, okay? Tell everyone... that I love them, 'kay?" With that, he died. Right there, in the sobbing Amaya's arms. The girl allowed herself to fall to the ground, but she didn't release Yusuke.
"Keh..." She whimpered. Her vision darkened dramatically as she allowed herself into sleep.
SEVEN YEARS LATER
...Through the wind
And the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world
That she can rise above
But her dreams
Give her wings
And she flies to a place
Where she's loved
Concrete angel...
Amaya stood by the river that ran behind her uncle's palace. Her long black- silver hair flowed in the wind; she automatically pushed it behind her ear. Her sensitive nose took in the smell of the calm water, her ears the sound of the frogs croaking and the birds chirping.
'Always a beautiful sound...' She thought. Her ears picked up the sound of footsteps, and she swirled around to the direction that they were coming from.
"Keh?!" She demanded. 'Who's there?!' She felt an arm go around her shoulders and she pushed it off.
"It's only me, Amaya." Her older brother, Kaorinu, smirked. He was lucky that she was blind, or he would be getting a closeup of Amaya's fist.
"Keh." She said cockily, flipping her hair snobby-like over her shoulder into Kaorinu's face. 'Go away.' She ran into the castle to 'talk' to her parents.
A/N- Hai, hai, I know it was short, *shivers as she envisions angry readers holding clubs and rocks, glaring her down* but I'm braindead at the moment. Writer's block sux! This story won't be completely sad, it's gonna have some humor in it. Oh, and about Amaya's condition, her's won't last forever.
