The Sacred Jewels
Chapter One: Awakening
Rin skipped ahead of her lord happily. Sessomaru walked patiently, thinking of nothing in particular. Although he did have the strange feeling of something not right in the area they were in. Jaken was just as quiet. He knew that his lord was being cautious. Something was amiss. Even Ah and Un were sniffing the air for danger. The Tenseiga pulsed once, then twice.
Sessomaru stopped. "Rin, come here."
Yes, milord," she said as she ran to him. "Is something the matter?"
"Shut up girl. Can't you see he's busy?" Jaken looked up at Sessomaru. "Milord?"
Sessomaru looked around. Something was wrong. Why had his sword pulsed? He sensed it sending out to someone, or something. He turned to his left. An ancient temple stood. He noticed a light briefly shine from the opening in front. Something was in there. Something evil.
"Come. I sense something within that temple."
"Yes milord. Come Ah and Un." Rin jumped onto their head.
"Hey, don't forget about me," said Jaken running to catch up.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Her hand jerked. Soon her sleepy blue eyes opened. Her head was pounding. Had she been unconscious? She flopped onto her back. Her limbs refused to obey her commands to move. She turned her head to the side. Against the wall was a young woman. No, it was a female demon. She knew this demon. Her head throbbed again and she groaned. What happened? Why couldn't she think straight?
From another part of the room a male voice spoke up. "What the hell is going on?"
The young woman looked to where the voice was coming from. Her eyes widened. An image flashed in her mind. Swords clashed. Magic twirled around. A person slams into a wall. A person falls to the ground. A man screams in anguish as he collapses. Her spell had worked. She had stopped the fight temporarily. But what spell had she used? It wasn't her spell. It had been the jewel. It had stopped them all. How? Why? It had caused the fight. It had caused the pain.
"Nayru?" The female demon was on hands and knees now. One of her clawed hands held her stomach. Her violet eyes were partially hidden by silver bangs. Her long silver hair was tied back into a high ponytail. She grimaced as she tried to stand on her wobbly legs. "Are you…okay…Nayru?"
The young woman sat up shakily. "I think so." She looked her friend. "How about you Aki?"
"I've been better. So has he."
Nayru looked over at the man. He was standing now. Holding an injured arm against his side. His black hair was a mess. His brown eyes were burning with anger. Talon was his name. The traitor to their village. The traitor to the jewels. Anger flared inside her. How could he be seduced? How could he betray his friends? How could he…No, she wouldn't let herself think that way anymore. He was still her friend. He was just not himself. She had to find a way to save him. But before she could do that, she would have to calm Akia. Her friend was the angriest. She was the most betrayed.
Akia walked forward to Talon slowly. "Where were we?" She bent to the ground and retrieved her sword. "Ah yes. I was about to prove just how wrong you were to kill all those innocent people. And how wrong you were to assume I would just let you continue." She lifted the sword shakily.
Talon summoned his sword into his uninjured hand. "Don't make me hurt you Akia. I don't want to hurt you. You're not my target."
"Too late. I'm hurt. More than you know Talon." She walked forward faster. "I hope you're ready to fight me because I won't hold back."
Nayru watched her friend ran forward in anger. She couldn't let her fight. They were all too weak. She couldn't let Talon die. She couldn't let Akia cause herself any more pain. She stood up. She held her hands out to her side.
"Spirits of the waters aid me." Her long black hair flowed around her. "Wall of Serenity."
A wall of water quickly rose from the ground, separating Akia and Talon. Akia growled. Talon smirked. Nayru fell to her knee. The spell was too strong for her in her weakened state. She looked over at the two fighters. Talon had sheathed his sword and Akia was tightly gripping hers.
"How long do you think this wall will hold Nayru." He laughed. "Your power is weak now. This wall will fall in a matter of seconds. Then I'll come for you."
Nayru looked lazily at the entrance to the temple as a male figure appeared into the shadows. Then man had long silver hair. He looked so regal. Nayru almost fell forward, but placed her hands on the ground before her before she could. She looked at the stranger. He was a demon. She could tell. He had stripes on the sides of his face and pointy ears. And most noticeable was the claws he had. Why was this demon here? Was he here to help?
Author's Note: Okay, so that's chapter 1. I'm in the process of making the second one right now. Please tell me what you think so far.
