"They want me to watch over Kikyo's grave," Houshin said quietly as he picked up his pack. "Demons might try to raid it in search of the Shikon no Tama."
"Then I'm going with you. I can protect you and help you protect the grave," I said as I looked up at him stubbornly.
He sighed heavily and leaned down, kissing me softly. "Fine, you can come. But I won't let you get hurt." I nodded and smiled up at him before following him outside to the woods that lied around our hut.
We walked far into the forest as we headed towards the largest tree. I paused as I remembered what had happened to Inuyasha at that horrid place before I continued onwards. I looked ahead of us and I could see a small shrine over a freshly dug area of soil. Kikyo's grave.
I leaned against a tree and watched Houshin as he sorted out the scrolls he had packed away for banishing the demons in search of the sacred jewel. He looked up at me and smiled reassuringly before going back to sorting his scrolls.
I sniffed at the air as a sudden sent caught my nose and I said quietly, "A demon is heading this way. A wolf demon by the smell of it. Should I destroy it?"
"No. I will simply use a demon scroll on it to be rid of it," he said calmly as he picked one up and stood beside me in the shadows of the trees.
"Okay, Houshin," I said quietly as the scent grew closer at an amazing speed. I sniffed again as a faintly familiar scent lingered with the other. "Kouga..." I growled quietly as the scent approached.
I watched as a half wolf demon entered the clearing where Kikyo's grave was. She searched frantically as though she had lost something before Houshin stepped forwards from the shadows.
"You won't find it, it's getting ready to enter a new body," he said quietly as he stood poised for a fight. She turned towards us and looked straight at Houshin. I watched her eyes dance with anger and sadness as she looked back to the grave then back to him with fierce determination.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Houshin. I lived in a village a few days journey from here. I'm here to make sure Kikyo's soul rests in peace. You looking for the Shikon no Tama will not help that. I would appreciate it if you left. I won't have to hurt you if you do," he said calmly.
"I need the jewel to join the wolf tribe again!! I am not gonna let you stop me!" she said angrily as her eyes blazed.
I looked back to Houshin as he said calmly and quietly, "Whatever you want."
I looked back to the wolf and saw her eyes dancing with fire before she leapt at him with her claws extended. I almost leapt at her but controlled myself as Houshin opened the scroll and began to chant the ancient ritualistic words. The lettering on the scroll glowed a blood red.
"Demon Scroll!!"
I watched as the scroll transformed into a giant spider and pinned the girl to the ground. The girl struggled slightly before she glared at him. He walked toward her before I stepped into the stop what he was prepared to do.
"Houshin! Don't kill her!"
He turned to face me and the wolf looked over in my direction. "Why? She's after the Shikon no Tama, and I was asked to keep it away from demons. She's a demon, so why should I not kill her?" he asked as he stared at me.
"She's only a half-demon. She's blinded for the desire to go back to that damn tribe. Release her, Houshin," I said quietly as I looked at the small wolf demon.
"Alright," he said reluctantly before waving his hand to dispel the spider. The small half-demon stood up and looked between me and Houshin warily. "Get out of here. Come back, and I will kill you," he said quietly as he turned back to me.
I watched as the wolf looked between Houshin and I once again before she ran off. I walked out of the shadows and wrapped my arms around his neck. "That was very good of you," I said with a small smile. I let him go and walked back over to the tree, leaning against the trunk.
"Other demons will come," he said quietly as he stood beside me. I nodded my head and stared into the forest, watching the sky as it changed colors and the sun set.
I sat in the tree quietly as I awaited for Houshin to return from the battle with that demon, Naraku. I looked down from my perch as I heard footsteps passing by. I could see wounded soldiers making their way to the village and I hopped from the branch. I couldn't see Houshin, my dear Houshin.
I leapt from the tree and grabbed one of the stronger soldiers by the neck and glared into his eyes. "Where's Houshin?" I demanded as the scent of blood grew stronger, making my instincts go wild with hunger.
"H-Houshin was k-killed in battle," he stammered out.
I let go of him and stared blankly at nothing. "No...Houshin..." I said in disbelief as I slumped to the ground. "Houshin..." I murmured as the tears ran their course down my cheeks.
I stared up at the sky as the tears started flowing heavier. I growled low and stood up as I felt my claws lengthening. I could feel pure rage boiling throughout my body as I tried to escape from the village before I destroyed it in a blind fury. I could feel my heart pounding in my ears as the heartache became too much and I fell to the ground on my knees. The pounding in my ears became deafening and blacked out.
I sniffed at the air as I cam closer to Kouga once again. It was time for me to seek vengeance on all who had hurt me. It was time for Kouga and Naraku to pay for what they had done. I leapt into the trees again as the scent grew nearer. I could the rage burning in my body as I drew the daggers that I had received from Totosai.
It was time for that wretched wolf to pay for the hell he caused me...
