Inu-Yasha; A Feudal Fairy Tale

Chapter Eight, Blood.

"Do they care?"

"My daughters." Naraku smiled at them, showing his teeth –it is a strangely disconcerting thing, being smiled at by an evil Hanyou.

"Yes father?" Kagome asked, leaning against the wall opposite him, she was carelessly flipping a dagger in the air, occasionally catching it and making it balance it her fingertip.

"You three are to tell Inu-Yasha of the war, and kill him. Or at least," Grabbed the bare blade of the blade. "Bring me his blood."

"Inu-Yasha-san are you sure this is the right way to go?" A small child asked, she had dark brown, even black, hair in a small pig-tail on the side of her head.

"Yes." He said flatly.

"Rin." A sharp voice broke their 'conversation'. "Come, don't stray to far from me." The Tai youkai of the Western Lands, Sesshoumaru told his young companion. He had white hair and yellow eyes like his brother, but they shone like burnished gold.

"I smell-" Inu-Yasha paused sniffing the air. "Kagura."

"Hello Inu-Yasha. I trust you have my meet my sister?" She moved out of the way, "Kagome?"

"My daughter!" Kikyo, all but forgotten until, yelled.

"Mother." She nodded her head, in greeting. "Inu-Yasha," She paused for a moment and shock her head, "I doubt I'll ever know why I loved you."

"What?"

"But for now," She smirked, "It's time to die." She drew her sword, and launched her self at him, only to be stopped by Kagura.

"I'm sorry for my sisters," She paused as if looking for the correct words. "Hastiness." She dropped her. "You are to be told of the War of Shadows, in which we shall fight for the side of Naraku. This is your last warning, and chance to join us." She grinned, knowing her answer. "Well, what do you say?"

"Never!"

(I am seriously tempted to leave here.)

"So, you are Kagome?" Sesshoumaru walked up to her, he held her chin up looking in to his eyes, a trick he had picked up –it let him see the past of the person he held.

"Who are you?" She didn't struggle, and merely let her emotions show in her eyes, sorrow, anger, and annoyances.

"Lord Sesshoumaru. The Taiyoukai of the West." He frowned when something flickered in her eyes, a glimpse of hatred.

"I remember." She pulled away from his grip. "You tried to kill father."

"He kidnapped my daughter." He stated coolly, making no attempt to re-capture her chin.

"No. He wouldn't." She shook her head calmly, "My father," she annunciated the word loudly. "Would do no such thing."

"Kagetsume, take care of Rin." He kept his eyes on the girl in front of him. "Come." He rapped an arm around her waist and jumped in to the sky.

"Eh?" Kagome looked at the arm around her and then the silhouette of Sesshoumaru, his face expressionless, his hair being tugged back by the wind that ran through it, and she blushed. "What do you think you're doing?"

"You will see."
