Fox Fire - Escape to no where
I don't own InuYasha...

Fokumo rose as stray beams from the sun hit her curled form. She groaned and slowly got up, shielding her eyes to the new light. She blinked as her sight came back and everything came into focus. She was alone in the den. 'he must'nt have come back yet...' she thought as she got up and peeked out the mouth of the den. 'I know he told me not to go out...but I can't just sit here...' she thought.
There wasn't much she could see outisde. The ground was green with lush grass, with a lake speading out from in from of the den. She looked back in the cave for a moment, making sure she wished to leave. As she looked back she saw Ezra standing directly in front of her, carrying a bolt of wood over his shoulder.
Fokumo screamed. "Where did you come from! I didn't hear you comming!" she spoke alarmed.
Ezra looked her over, and pointed to his left "I came from the forrest." he said shortly.
Fokumo breathed deep "you...your Ezra right...the vassal..." she asked, and took a step away.
"yes." he said once again in his stark tone,
"That...demon...he said you were a half demon? and that I was to become a vassal..like you" she said quietly, and quickly looked down in shame.
"I'm not a half demon, I'm as much human as you are demon." he softly responded, and continued "You will become a vassal here. Those who are not of full blood do not belong among humans, nor demons. They do not deserve to live in this world, you should be gracious you will be allowed to live here at all." he finished. His words seemed so harsh, but when he spoke his tone never altered; his eyes never showed any emotion. It was like he was being used as a pupet-speaking words that wern't his own.
"you can't really mean that!" Fokumo retaliated.
"why not?" he asked.
"You just can't! I mean, your not a full demon yourself...you can't...really think that about yourself..." She spoke, her tone growing quieter with every word. She looked at him with compasion in her eyes 'what could make him think such horrible things.' she thought.
He just looked at her. 'why is she looking at me like that...whats wrong with her?' he thought to himself. "I have work to do, but if you need anything my master told me to assit you." he said.
'Hes evding me...but theres nothing I can do...I'll be lucky if I can save myself...' she thought to herself, as a thick gult lay heavy on her heart. "your master told you to help me with...anything?" she asked.
"yes, anything." he said.
"can you tell me, can I get away from here?" she asked.
"yes, if you take the path I just came from in the forrest and move slowly and stay to the ground the watch will not see you." he said.
Fokumo bowed "thank you, Ezra." she said quickly, and took offinto the forrest.
Ezra stood and watched as she left his sight. 'fool.' he thought briefly, then turned to finish his work.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Fokumo krept throught the forrests, trying to stay low as Ezra had told her. She took a seccond to look back 'poor guy...maybie...maybie I should go back...' she thought.
All of a sudden she heard shouting, she under a mess of roots, and peeked out just enough to see two demons. One came up to the other, and the other demon took off to where she had just come. She could'nt make out what they were saying, and tried to reposition herself to better here.
Just as she did a twig snapped harshly under her foot. The sound richocetted against the trees, making the sound grow in intensity, though the demon could most likely hear it even with out the help of the trees.
She ducked back down under the roots hoping the demon wouldn't see her.
The demon came down quickly, and before she knew it she could hear his stepping down on the dry leaves, only inches away from her position. He came closer looking everything over with each step. He sniffed the air, and moed ever closer to Fokumo. With one swift moment he thrust his hand into a hole within the tree, and pulled out a small cub by the scruff of its tail. He scowled at it and drug it back with him.
Fokumo gasped for air, she had stopped breathing without even realizing it. She peaked her head out of the roots to make sure the demon had left. She breathed a sigh of realief as she saw the demon had gone.
She got up, and quickly made her way out of the forrest, taking advantage of the demon's absence. She soon came to a prarie. She smiled as she saw the soft green pastures before her. The path was still well traveled before her, and she continued on.
As she walked through the silent plains, thoughts started to enter her mind. 'where am I going anyway...' she thought 'My home is gone...can really go to another human village...looking like this...' her heart started to sink.
A strong cold wind rushed past her, she stopped to hold her ground. The wind felt like it just sliced through her garments, she had never been alone so late. She looked to the sky where the moon hung looming above the word. A few stray tears fell from her eyes '...I leave the demons just to freeze out here?' She looked down to the ground 'At least I won't become a lowly vassal...' she thought to herself. A few trees stood in the prairie. She came up to one, and sat under its branches, the trunk of the tree protected her from the strong wind, but the cold still sneaked past and under her thin garment. She shivered and leaned up against the tree. 'I won't run away from this...I'll face my death without fear...and die with honor.' she thought as she closed her eyes.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Ezra's master returned just as the sun was about to set. Ezra sat alone on the branch of tree watching the colors of the setting sun, looking out blankly as the sky filled with brilliant colors.
"Ezraa!" came his master's call.
Ezra's ears perked up, and he quickly leapt down, and stood before the mouth of the den Fokumo had been slepping in earlier. His master stood next to the bedding, which had been strew across the den. His master didn't look at all pleased.
"Do you know where Fokumo has gone??" he demanded.
"she left." he said simply.
Ezra's master took him by the throat, and pinned him against the wall leaving his leggs dangling above the ground. "you just let her leave?!?!" he yelled.
Ezra struggled to breath, but still managed to speak. "she-" he coughed "asked me how she could leave here." he spoke. He felt dizzy as he struggled to breath, but his voice was still stone cold.
His master was furios, and he pushed harder against Ezra's throught "and you told her?!"
Ezra nodded. The edges of his vision darkened, he resisted the erge to grasp his masters hand and pull it from his throught. "you" he tried to speak, his words were quiet and forced-he could barely breath and speaking was killing him "to-old me to" he finished using any strength he could find.
His master let go of his throught, but gave a hard hit to his jaw before Ezra dropped to the ground.
Ezra grasped for air as his heart pounded against his chest so hard it felt as if it were to leap out. He coughed up blood as his vision slowly returned to normal.
"Come Ezra." his master called as he left the den, giving Ezra little time to recover.
"yes master." he spoke with the coppery taste of his own blood filling every breath. He got to his feet as quickly as hos strength would allow, and tried to ignore the dizzyness as he followed his master.
They went deeper into the cave and stopped to where the demon's things were kept. Ezra's master took out two swords and a thick pelt and handed them to Ezra. "You will go out and bring Fokumo back. You have my permission to slay any one who comes in your path. If Fokumo is still alive, make sure she doesn't freeze-that is why I gave you the pelt. Now go." He demanded.
Ezra nodded, and ran from the den and into the forrest.
