To Break A Bond

Prologue

The wind blew devastatingly through the village of Kikyo's death, her robes still carelessly collecting dirt on the ground. The once fruitful area had turned desolate, Kikyo's undead appearance being considered a cursed omen. Sensing the aura radiating from the grounds, the creature moved swiftly in hopes of rescuing its savior, only it was too late. She had been long dead. Slain. Murdered.

*Flashback*

Kikyo outstretched her hand over the trembling ground, her eyes glowing scarlet as her voice split. The words she chanted seemed to conjure every evil spirit in the area, including the one she sought. The ground quaked, splitting up to her feet before ceasing. Fire and ash flew from the earth, dead spirits desperately trying to break free.

"Rise and meet your master!" Her tone carried through the forest like thunder, echoing off every parcel in its path. Two giant paws stretched from the soil, burying its enormous claws into the surrounding dirt. Saliva and venom sprayed from every direction, melting everything that dared to stand. Kikyo's dastardly grin spread as she admired her work. She reached an unwavering hand to touch the creature's forehead, never flinching through its snarls and howls. "You belong to me, now." Her only words before retreating and leaving the creature to its own path.

*End Flashback*

Its enormous heaves for air blowing the robes from sight, the creature's eyes flickered with anger at its master's demise. In the past, this demon bowed to no one. It knew no fear. No pain. Now, Kikyo was all it knew. All he knew. Lowering to sniff the area, it caught the scent of blood. Blood long dried, but there nevertheless. This scent was familiar, though he knew not of time nor place. Reverting to his simpler form, he growled and popped the joints in his neck. He was brought back for one purpose. The purpose he knew without words. He knew that her plan for him was twisted and something about it didn't seem right, but he was not brought to think. He was brought back to destroy. To conquer. Licking his fangs and taking a deep sniff of the air, he set his glare to the south, a wicked smile playing his features. "InuYasha....."
