Chapter 2: Child of Darkness
Ruri, half-demon daughter of Sesshomaru, sat
cross-legged in a dimly lit cave.
"I'm going to do what father never could", smirked the
little child. "Inuyasha will be brought down, not by
my father.....BUT BY ME!!". Ruri hissed loudly with
the hate and evil no one could have thought someone so
young could carry inside.
She grew calm once more, pondering her plan. What
would it take to remove Inuyasha as an obstacle to her
power? How would she prove herself to be the
strongest? It would be alot more complicated than a
physical attack. If the others knew what she was
planning, they would band together to stop her.
"No, this must be something smart, cunning, and
secret, like only someone of my evil genius can
create..", thought Ruri. She would work in secret.
Not one of them would suspect her true intentions.....
Hideous, maniacal laughter, that of a twisted little
child begins to fill the darkening cave.
"This will be something that stupid bitch Kagome can't
stop", hissed Ruri. "I've had quite enough of
her...thinking she's so great with those energy
bolts...I could crush her like a bug." The evil child
rises to a kneeling position, eyes beginning to glow.
"Once I get rid of Inuyasha, his bitch is next!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~
Ruri, now committed to her plans, rose to her feet,
suddenly coming to realize she could sense something.
Whirling about, nothing to be seen. "I can sense
evil, like me, but different", wondered Ruri aloud,
"Who could be as evil as me?! Where are you?!?!?!"
The challenges of the pint-sized demon fell on deaf
ears. No one was to be seen or heard. Ruri was
indeed alone. But it was clear someone else had been
there, and recently, more importantly, whoever it was
had been evil too. Could they be an ally in Ruri's
plan? Would they try to steal all the power for
themselves? Time would tell.
Elsewhere, Inuyasha continued collecting wood for the
fire. Sighing to himself, "I don't know where that
brat Ruri gets it from....oh wait, sure I do!", as he
points to Sesshoumaru. "Hey cut it out", argued his
brother, "I swear some of the things she does are alot
worse than I ever did."
Inuyasha agrees, "I guess some kids are just born to
be bad, like me for instance." Sesshoumaru raises an
eyebrow, "You? Bad? Give me a break!" Inuyasha
laughs. "Why else do you think Kagome and I got
together? She digs the rebel in me brother." The two
silently chuckle over the joke.
A twig flies out from some bushes, stinging Inuyasha's
nose. "I heard you two! Sesshoumaru knows the only
reason we got together was because you begged real
nice", taunted Kagome. "Hey c'mon, you know I was
only fooling!", pleaded Inuyasha. "I know, but you're
still going to have to collect more firewood to make
up for it". teased Kagome.
"What?! How much more?!", screamed Inuyasha, furious
to be taking orders from anyone, let alone a woman.
"You'll have enough if you come back in the morning"
instructed Kagome. "Yagggghhh! That'll take
forever!" "That's the point you idiot...learn to shut
that big mouth of yours next time!" "Shut yours too
Kagome!"
Sesshoumaru quietly slips away unnoticed while the two
continue screaming at eachother.
"I don't know what either of those two see in
eachother", says Sesshoumaru in disgust. "All they
ever do is argue.,,maybe they like arguing so much."
Sesshoumaru wanders off into the woods, enjoying the
fresh air, and the quiet that seems to increase the
farther he gets from the two bickering lovers.
"I'd help Inuyasha collect firewood, but it's not my
problem, and Kagome is right. He's got a big mouth",
laughs Sesshoumaru to himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~
Darkness falls on the forest, with everyone indoors or
asleep. All except for Inuyasha, of course, who is
stuck collecting firewood all night.
"Damn her!", mutters Inuyasha. "She'll never be able
to use all the firewood I could get in a night.
I know, I'll collect alittle, then go to sleep.
She'll never know, and she'll forget she said it by
morning anyway. Girls are really forgetful."
Inuyasha bundles what dry wood he's found so far, and
hangs it in a tree with a vine, then climbs into a
thick branch for a nap. Little does he know that he's
in for trouble, and very soon.
The darkness is penetrating, making it difficult to
see. Finally, a small figure, that of the tiny demon
child Ruri, becomes visible. She is crouching near an
old temple, at another distant village.
"Tonight my plan comes to action", hisses the small
demoness. "I must not leave any trace that I was even
here."
"This will be very useful", chuckles Ruri, clutching a
small lock of hair she snatched from Inuyasha. "The
idiot didn't even realize I took some hair when I
slashed at his face. How sad for him."
Ruri slowly creeps up to the old temple. No one seems
to be up and about. She carefully makes her way to
the priest's quarters upstairs in the pagoda. "I'll
kill the stupid cleric, and make sure this hair points
to Inuyasha", schemes Ruri. She crawls quietly into
the Buddhist priest's bed, kneeling beside him. "Wake
up, to die fool!", taunts a menacing Ruri as she bares
her claws. The priest awakens with a gasp, and soon
finds himself fighting for his very life. A quick
slash of strong sharp claws, and the priest is dying.
Ruri dips some of the hair in the priest's blood, and
puts some into his dying hand.
"It will look like the priest grabbed some off of poor
Inuyasha in the fight", laughs Ruri. "He'll be taken
down by a mob of superstitious village idiots!
HAHAHAHAHA!"
"One last matter to take care of", as the tiny demon
child sneaks back downstairs to the main prayer room.
She clutches a tiny stone Buddha statue. "With this
little thing, I'll make it even worse for Inuyasha's
case", explains Ruri. She packs the statue in her
clothing, and leaves the shrine.
Afew hours later, Ruri happens upon a sleeping
Inuyasha. "This couldn't be easier", smirks the
little troublemaker. Ruri takes a small flask from
her kimono, inside is some of the priest's still moist
blood. She drips some on Inuyasha's hair. Satisfied,
she turns her attention to the bundle of wood that has
been left on a vine. Planting the Buddha statue
carefully in the center of the mess, she leaves.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~
Dawn begins to bring light to the forest. Birds chirp
waking songs for all to hear. Kagome rises to find
Inuyasha home. "Here's your firewood girlie", mutters
the pretendingly exhausted Inuyasha, "I looked long
and hard, like you asked, but that's all there was."
"It's ok Inuyasha", exlaims a still waking up Kagome,
"I forgive you, but what's that in your hair? It
looks like you were fighting!" Pointing to a small
bit of blood, Kagome looks worried. "Huh? I wonder
how this got here, and some of my hair is ripped off",
as Inuyasha tries to make sense of it all.
Inuyasha drops the bundle of wood to the floor, and it
makes a funny noise. A small stone statue rolls out.
"What's this? A Buddha? Where were you Inuyasha!",
asks Kagome. "Damned if I know", counters Inuyasha.
"I'm so good a fighter I even kill in my sleep I
guess."
Lady Kaede's village is alive with people. Someone
from another village is asking questions. It seems a
priest was murdered the previous night. "Who would do
such a thing?", asks a frightened villager.
"A dead priest! Bad omens will come certainly!"
"We must catch the murderer and punish him! The gods
will be angry with us if we fail!"
"Search every home! Go to the forest! He might hide
there!"
LOL!
