"Sesshomaru-sama. What are these woods?" Jaken asked scrambling
closer to Sesshomaru so quickly he almost knocks over Rin who squeals
indignantly. The tall forest around them had changed since they fist
entered it.
Before it had been thick with simple trees and bushes scattered around. Now the trees were twisted and white barked. The leaves that decorated the top were deep autumn gold. Strange crimson fruits hung among the pale branches. The bushes were the same, except that had been strangles by pale silver green ivy that winked menacingly at them.
"Don't be such a baby Jaken-sama." Rin piped biting into one of the fruits as Jaken sweat dropped then mumbled, "Ish juf a foref." With her mouth full.
Jaken growled "IF IT'S JUST A FOREST WHY ARE THE TREES COLORS!"
"Don't ask Rin! I-" They both bump into Sesshomaru who had suddenly stopped. "Sesshomaru-sama?"
He was silent for a long moment before saying "Jaken, take Rin and go look for mushrooms."
Jaken blinked. "But Sesshomaru-sama, we-...ah..." He sweat dropped as Sesshomaru gave him a look.
"Are you really questioning me?"
Jaken snapped into attention. "No sir!" He turns and grabs Rin by the arm "Lets go girl."
Sesshomaru watched them march away for a while then turned to face the high risen trees and something flashed among the branches. "Do I have to come up there and get you?"
A girl's laugh was heard and then a thin lithe figure jumped down to the ground. Sesshomaru kept his face impassive and smooth although as he looked at her the though 'Who the..' ran relays through his head.
Her thick silver white hair that hung to delicate ankles had shining gold highlights in it the flared in the sunlight that snaked around the canopy. And through her hair stuck a pair of white dog-ears. Her eyes where deep blazing gold, and actually shone as if with their own source of light although Sesshomaru didn't linger on them for he sensed an odd pulling power in those eyes. Her skin was a pale warm honey gold color opposed to the paleness of his completion and yet, he still saw the resemblance. She was dressed scantly, in a short green thigh length kimono with a silver sash tied around the waist. And for the first time, he noticed a scabbard hanging at her waist. Power leaked from it like a waterfall and Sesshomaru's eyebrow lifted.
"That sword..."
The looked at him assessing. "It's my sword."
Sesshomaru smirked. 'Lets test its power.' Light flared around him and he grew, face elongating to from the head of his true form, the giant dog creature he changes into. He growled and lowered his head in threat to her. She giggled and stood her ground smiling innocently.
"Oh look at the puppy." He growled again then charged her and she shot up leaping out of the way just in time then turned a back flip and landed on him back. "I really think your need to." She twisted her hands in his fur and threw herself to the side "ROLL OVER!" and Sesshomaru went down and over with her making a thundering sound as he hit the ground on his back the girl having jumped safely away stood on a branch looking down at him. "Good boy."
Sesshomaru shifted back and stood his eyes narrowed at her but other wise his face is as always as if the fight had never taken place, "Who are you?"
She smiled and flipped herself backwards onto a lower branch. "I am Sukari. Daughter of the great Lord Dog Demon and the Queen of the Valkyries. This is my forest. I am the priestess of Emerald Haven." She tilted her head and the authority and menace she had while stating all that vanished being replaced with energetic, child-like curiosity. "Hey you're pretty." She jumped down and hurried up to him then stood up on her tiptoes to peer at him closely. "Who are you anyway?"
"The Lord Dog Demon." He mused silently 'This ruffian girl is my sister.' He smirked 'At least she seems to be stronger than my dear brother Inuyasha.'
"Yea. You know him." She looked at his shoulder then pocked as fluff draped across it. "Hey, look at this!" He catches her hand.
"I wouldn't"
Sukari smiled and twisted her hand away only to link her arm through his and started leading him through the forest. "Oh hey, don't be sour now. We're family. We should love each other and be unified and all that other sibling crap. I'm going to have to lead you through my forest, after all."
"So. You know we're related."
"It's a bit obvious." She sniffed at him. "You smell a great deal like me." She hummed and did a little dance around him "So unless you wear the same perfume I do that's the only other logical reason isn't it?"
He looked down at her with a look so cool she stilled and straightened looking right back up at him defiantly. "Why haven't I heard of you before?"
She blushed. "We were always moving. Mother and I. After...after what happened in the village I was born in. Mother had an affinity for humans you see. She liked to see and live among the soft ones, since Valkyries only deal with warriors. So I grew up around humans. They adored my mother and most of the females adored me, but the males didn't." She paused. "I suppose because I reminded them that mother was spoken for. She was so beautiful and so many men loved her."
"Well they cornered me one day when I was 7, when mother was gone and they beat me. Badly." She growled. "And I could only taken. Mother had expressly forbidden me to kill or hurt any humans."
Sesshomaru looked at her impassively. "So you sat there and took it because your mother told me too."
Sukari fell over (anime style) "I suppose. But she really didn't think anyone would ever do this." She stood and started walking again. "I almost died. After that we simply kept moving. Until she left me in Emerald Haven." She gestured around the forest. "And I'm Priestess here. To everything."
The trees had thinned and they entered a wide grove. In the center there stood a small hut. Even small it looked amazing. The base and roof was formed from vines and silver roses twisted intricately together. In between tall walls of white sandstone rock stood. A waterfall of shimmering gold water flowed down the back wall of the hut then stretched out in a tiny stream to a small pool where it turned deep sapphire blue.
"Home sweet..huh?" Sukari's ear started to twitch as she heard the sound of more people. "What is it today." She looked at Sesshomaru. "Will you stay here?"
He kept his eyes on the hut and smiled a bit. "I might."
She laughed and hugged him around his neck and kissed his cheek then ran off before he had a chance at a crude remark. Sesshomaru watched her go at least before walking away smirking. 'Well dear brother. Maybe we'll find a common goal at last. I will leave her in your protection for now. Until I find her village and exact my own revenge.'
