Ryuu sat on the railing of a balcony. The balcony was attached to a small manor in the woods. In the yard was a hot spring, a garden, a maze, and a large fountain. A small meow from behind Ryuu starlted her and she looked back at a small ball of fire-red fur. She smiled, picked it up, and set it in her lap. "Hello Akuma, have you been chasing mice in the house today?" Ryuu said, laughing slightly. The red cat started to purr as Ryuu pet her. Ryuu climbed off the railing and walked into the house. The room inside had a large futon, torches on the walls, all wrapped in poison thorn vines, a desk, a large closet, and a skull patterned kimono hanging over the bed. Ryuu walked over to the desk, her long black robe dragging after her. She sat down and took a long peice of parchment out of a drawer and started drawing on it. Ryuu put her brush down and leaned back in her chair, her long black hair brushing against the floor. She quietly started to humm to herself. Outside, a few yards away, Sesshoumaru and Jaken were tracking her. Sesshoumaru looked along the ground, seeing small light foot prints. He looked up and spotted the small house. Sesshoumaru grinned and leaped into a tall tree next to him. "Master!" yelled Jaken. "Hush fool..." Sesshoumaru grunted, leaping to the nearest tree, and so on. Sesshoumaru soon reached the last tree that stood before Ryuu's property. He sat down on a branch and watched as the sky turned midnight blue and as the stars started to shine. His small white fangs started to bare as a smirk appeared across his face. Sesshoumaru climbed quitly down the tree, and walked past Jaken, and into the garden. Ryuu looked out the window, her pale face, black eyes, and black hair changing into tanner skin, blue eyes, and red hair. Ryuu of course, happened to be half human. She growled slightly and sat down on her bed. Sesshoumaru peered over the railing at her and climbed up. He smiled and knocked on the door on the balcony. "What do you want..?" Ryuu said, half starlted, and half afraid. "Well since you are human, I'm guessing this would be the best time to kiddnap you, am I right? Of course I am." Sesshoumaru said, with a twisted smile. Ryuu frowned and stood up, reaching for her sword. She tripped over her cat and winced as she fell. Sesshoumaru took a small dagger out of his robe and stabbed it through her hand, pinning her down. Ryuu shuddered, trying not to show her pain. Sesshoumaru kneeled down next to Ryuu and puts his face next to hers "I guess I was right... hmm" Sesshoumaru laughed. Ryuu spit in his face and tried to get the dagger out of her hand. Sesshoumaru scowled and ripped the dagger out of her hand and stabbed her in the gut. Ryuu chocked and turned her head to the side, spitting up blood. Sesshoumaru laughed and ripped the dagger out of her again and picked her up. Ryuu was bleeding badly so she didn't stop him. Her legs and arms numb from the blood loss, she passed out.
