((authors note-- the idea for this story came to me while [strangely]
playing with my 7 year old cousin who knows nothing about inu yasha but is
seemingly in love with pretending to be shippo [maybe it's the tail?] and i
got cast as Sango... so i was wandering around in Sango's mind... and i
came up with this....it's rather strange but w/e...F.Y.I. this takes place
before any real devotion for InuyashaxKagome or SangoxMiroku... and this is
the wonderful [at least i hope so] prologue))
The large fire youkai growled deep in its throat, its yellow eyes narrowed to slits. the other three youkai, slightly smaller but of the same type, moved restlessly around their leader. It shifted its weight and glared around, its growl deepening. They were coming, they should already have been here. The small purple jewel fragments in the youkai's arms were making its thoughts slightly blurry with bloodlust. it wanted to rip. tear. kill. and it wanted to do it NOW. Unfortunately, its prey was not yet at hand. The other youkai's restless pacing was getting on its nerves, but they too felt the bloodlust of the tiny pieces of the shikkon no tama. The small but cunning demon had given them these shards, in exchange for having the quarry delt with. The fire youkai had seen no reason to resist this small but powerful force, after all, it and its pack would get the prey for a meal and their ally would get his Shikkon no Tama. No reason not to comply really. But they should have arrived. The demon had said they would be here with the sun, and the sun was now high overhead. The demon could easily have decieved the fire youkai.... but to what gain? After all... the fire youkai and its harem now possessed several shards of the Shikkon no Tama and the mysterious demon had gained nothing... unless there was a catch. A growl rose in the youkai's throat and it stood and began pacing slowly, its massive form gliding smoothly through the trees. It was tired of waiting... as were its companions... and it was growing tired of wondering what exactly the small demon wanted. A small noise caused the youkai's ears to twitch and it looked about. There it was again. A voice. And another voice. and the sound of a twig breaking as someone's foot crushed it. Their quarry was at hand. The youkai pounced, one thought on its mind. Blood.
