"IT'S A DEMON!"
"Hurry! Get your weapons ready! "Someone find Miko Chii!" "Men! The demon approaches!" "Sir, he's destroyed our rice fields, and he's huge like InuTaishou!" Arrows and the clinking of iron swords and bits could be heard. Men were yelling, children were screaming; everyone was scrambling around in fear. "InuTaishou? He hasn't been around for about 60 years! I haven't even been around that long." "Yes, Sir. His wife gave birth to a hanyou named InuYasha about that long ago, but around his seventeenth year high Miko Kikyou sealed him to a Go- Shinboku tree with her sacred arrow and he stayed there for fifty years until the reincarnation of Miko Kikyou broke the spell." "Koji Sama! It is already here in the village!" A big ball of bown and silver fur could be seen raging in the distance toward Koji Sama.
"What is it?"
"The men who saw him said he was a badger youkai."
"A badger, huh? Send him to me!"
"Sir, I think he has already sent himself." Once the colossal mess of fur got to them, a twister of dust surrounded it.
"Hey what's going on? Where'd that badger get to?" The people of the village could no longer see the mound of fur. All that stood was a man in a black kimono-hakama. He had long, light brown hair with a silver stripe going down the middle. "B-Badger demon! Why have you come to destroy our small, humble village?" "I have not come to demolish this land. I have come to take it." "B-But you can't! Our people settled in this village about thirty years ago!"
"Your rice fields are great; my land is dying, for a miasma curses it so no plant will grow."
"This is our land and I refuse to give it up!"
"Then I may take it by force. Should you not make your decision by this time tomorrow, your village will take on a great deal of suffering." The man turned and slowly walked away and stopped. "My name is Hakuro." Suddenly the dust cloud came back and the hill of fur reappeared. It started off for the mountains to the north and the earth beneath the villager's feet shook until the badger was out of sight.
"Master, what are we going to do about him?"
"We'll have to get all the men from the nearest surrounding villages. We can't give up this land. It is ours and we'll have to fight for it if we want to keep it."
"I don't have a good feeling about this, Koji Sama. If we get the surrounding villages to help, they'll want a share of the land."
"True, but-"
"Sir, this'll cause more destruction to the village, especially in these feudal times. If we give the land to Hakuro, then we might have a chance at staying here."
"Another thing I will not give up is my heir as master of the village." Koji Sama gave the man a serious look and looked into the distance where the village men were working in the rice fields. "Men! Get all of your weapons and store them in one place! Tomorrow at this time we will break out against the badger youkai, Hakuro! If you want to keep this great land of ours, you must be ready and you must be strong! To make an even stronger force, I will send some of you to the nearest villages! I expect all of you to be prepared, so start getting ready immediately!" Koji Sama crossed his arms and walked away. "Now we're all set. Only tomorrow can tell us whether we'll keep our land or not."
"Hit the deck!" Koji Sama cried out as a very large plasma cannon appeared in his arms. A sly grin crossed his face as he took aim at the nearest badgerfuck.
"Hasta la Vista... baby."
And he pulled the trigger.
A large orange plasma blast erupted from the cannon's maw and streaked toward the badgerfuck. The badger turned toward the origin of the blast and squealed a high-pitched whine. Death was impending for him now.
All of the sudden Hakuro found himself being shoved out of the way. His protocol droid A4HB had sprung to life, miraculously starting up his own systems to save the life of his master, but at a terrible cost.
The plasma blast struck the droid and he melted instantaneously.
"NOOOOOO!!! AFOUR!!!!!!" gomen na! My bro wrote this and I thought it was pretty funny so I kept it on for your enjoyment ;-p
The next day the villagers were armed and ready for Ryunmaru's arrival. Master Koji was nervous. Everyone was trembling in fear. All that was missing were the people from the other village that were supposed to help fight against Hakuro. "Cripes, when will they get here? They should have been back with the other villagers early this morning." "Is there a problem, Koji Sama?" "Yes... Our men haven't returned from their trip to the next village..." "It's probably best that the men from the other village didn't come. They'd want a share of our village." "Dammit, then how else are we going to keep our village safe?" "Fight for it ourselves, I guess." "MASTER! MASTER! HAKURO RETURNS!" Koji Sama readied himself for Hakuro's arrival. Once he came into contact with the village, Koji's men would attack. "Men! Ready your weapons immediately! Once I call the attack, you must fire your arrows! People with spears and swords must hide beyond bushes and trees for an attack from behind the badger!" The armed villagers did as their master ordered and all fell silent. Koji Sama stood in the open to call the attack. The rumbling of Hakuro became greater as he approached the village. Sweat rolled down the men's faces as they hid in refuge. Hakuro finally reached the village, yet Koji Sama didn't call the attack. A tornado of dust arose around Hakuro's and he sized down to his human form.
"Where are your men, Koji Sama?" Koji just stood there speechless. Not a single breath blew from his nose as Hakuro stood before him and locked with his eyes. He lifted his clawed hand to the side. A small light appeared from it and a sudden blast of energy followed. The blast created an enormous ditch. Men in its path were dissolved and survivors nearby made an attempt to attack Hakuro at will. An energy shield that surrounded him blocked every arrow or spear thrown at him. The men had finally given up and put down their bows and weapons. A fiendish smile came upon Hakuro's face as Koji Sama hesitantly backed away. "You thought you could outsmart me with a surprise attack? How foolish thinking you could defeat a demon of greater strength than all of you men combined." Women trembled in their houses as their children clung on to them. The men stood their ground. "Hm... I claim this land for myself, and if anyone tries to attack me, I will kill you."
That night, Hakuro took Koji Sama's place as the head of the village. Koji Sama's servants were now his and he wasted no time to have them prepare a feast to celebrate his taking of the land. Most of the villagers came, but despite all the food that was given to them by Hakuro, they still held a grudge; men were killed and precious rice and land was destroyed. Once everyone had finished eating, they gave their reluctant thanks to Hakuro. The hall was silent except for the stirring of servants cleaning up. One certain servant woman about the age of sixteen was picking up dishes and platters. Orphaned as a young girl, she never spoke much and could care less about what happened that day except for when Hakuro Sama claimed the land as his own. She was joyful that he took over. Every day Koji Sama would criticize her for messing up and not working hard enough. Hakuro Sama never did so. As she cleaned up the hall she caught Hakuro Sama watching her work and blushed.
"Did you prepare the meals, young lady?" The sudden tap on her shoulder and break of silence.
"Y-Yes, Master Hakuro. Did you enj-joy them, Sir?"
"Why, they were delectable. What is your name?" She looked up at him from picking up dishes.
"Ma-My name i-is... is Naomi..."
"Well, then, Naomi, would you care to serve me here." Naomi's face glowed.
"No, not at all! I would love to serve you, Master Hakuro!"
"Now, may I ask, what is your age?"
"My age?"
"Yes."
"I'm sixteen." All of a sudden two men came running in the room. "Where's Master Koji?"
"Koji is not your leader anymore. I have taken his place." The men
hesitated for a second and stepped back to start their escape, but that very second Hakuro sped behind them and grabbed the collars of their kimonos. "Tell me what happened and why the other men that went with you have not returned."
"S-Sir, the village n-nearest to here has declared us rivals."
"Yes, we asked them to help defend our village, but as we thought,
they wanted a share of our land."
"Outraged, they took us for spies and killed the others." Hakuro let
the men go and they fled from the house. He then returned to the conversation with Naomi.
"Naomi, I am truly thankful for providing the wonderful meal. You can
get back to your work now." He gave her a pat on the back. "Yes, Master." The last thing Naomi got back from Hakuro was a shimmering smile that she kept pictured in her mind. Every day Naomi served Hakuro Sama her meals and he never tired of them. Weeks passed and Hakuro began coming into Naomi's room where they would talk about life.
"What about your childhood?"
"I had some friends I would play with. I had gather rice from the fields with my parents most of the time."
"Did you have any siblings?"
"No. Just my parents... But they died in a war that broke out about eight years ago."
"How sad. I can't remember anything about my family. I ran away because they constantly forced me into destroying land for power. I hated it so much, but the traits began to take over me and I started to create so much destruction." Hakuro felt weight fall on his shoulder; Naomi had fallen asleep. Hakuro smiled and they both cuddled close on the futon. They had fallen in love.
"Naomi, once again you have prepared another fine meal for me tonight. You've done a lot for me since I've become the new master of this village."
"Thank you, Hakuro Sama. I am very pleased you like it." Naomi blushed and stared down at the floor.
"I must say we've been through a lot as well." This caught Naomi's attention and she glanced up in surprise. "Naomi, will you let me take you to be wed?"
"Master Hakuro! Yes, I will marry you!" Naomi jumped into Hakuro Sama's arms and embraced him.
"Will you bear me a child as well?" Naomi looked up from his chest.
"Oh, Hakuro Sama, I would love to bear your child!" On the day of the wedding, the hall was filled with the village men and women and a monk sit at the end of the hall. Hakuro Sama and Naomi sat before the monk; Hakuro wore a black kimono and Naomi wore a white kimono and veil. The monk began the ceremony with chants and blessings. After him, Hakuro Sama and Naomi did their ritual. Finally, the wedding ended with their kiss. A celebration was held with food prepared by Naomi beforehand. People visited and for the entertainment, Hakuro's servant women danced with Naomi joined in to better please Hakuro Sama for that night. Once the celebration was over and the men and women had left, the hall was empty except for the scurrying of servants. Of course, that night, passion was in the air and Hakuro Sama and Naomi were together in the same room. Sure enough, Naomi became pregnant and would go into labor near the end of summer the following year.
"Hakuro Sama, I want you to name it. What if it's a boy?" Naomi asked as they sat outside under the blooming sakura tree in springtime.
"Tatsuya."
"And if it's a girl?"
"Hatsumi." Naomi smiled.
"They're perfect."
Near the end of Naomi's eighth month of pregnancy, word spread that a group of rogue samurai were heading toward the village over the mountains.
"You won't need to leave will you?"
"We have to take care of these vermin before they get across the mountains." Hakuro Sama walked away from the house and a swirl of dust engulfed him. He changed into his true form as a badger and rambled off in the distance toward the mountains. Naomi leaned against a wooden beam and smirked as she faithfully watched her husband disappear in the distance.
"Heh, he'll show those bandits whose boss..."
'There they are!' Hakuro Sama sped toward the incoming bandits and swung his tail at them with great force. No one yelled in agony; all he heard of the men were clonks of wood pieces dropping to the ground. 'I can't smell any blood! This must be deception!' Hakuro Sama turned around to look for a unique figure that didn't look like a bandit, but as he was peering for any signs of life, an actual human bandit came flying up toward him with a raised katana. 'What the-' The katana sliced up the side of Hakuro's nose and the bandit kept on ascending until he was above Hakuro. Hakuro pawed at his wound and looked up at the bandit, but he wasn't there. Trying to get a closer look, Hakuro saw a white figure.
"Kill your family." It said. "Kill your family, or die."
'What in all the hells? Why do you punish me for no reason? Release this curse of which you have set upon me at once!'
"Kill your family, and I will grant that of what you ask."
'No! I won't kill my wife! She's bearing my child!'
"Then suffer as the fires of hell burn you until nothing of you is left." The white-covered man floated away. "Foolish mortal, you could have spared your life." He raised his hand up and at that very movement flames roared up from the very wound of Hakuro Sama's nose. He grunted in pain as the enormous fire sent from hell swallowed him up until no trace of him could be found.
"Akiko, why didn't he come back?" Tears poured from Naomi's eyes for the sake of her lost husband. Know one had known about what happened on the day he fought the hoard of bandits or that it was all just a pointless deception to kill. "I don't know. Maybe he went to another place for a new life." The servant woman tried to make a conclusion so they could all put this behind their backs, but this did not appeal to Naomi. "He just got here, and I'm not very far from having his child. He wouldn't leave just like that. And of course those worthless bandits wouldn't have killed him! He's too strong for them!" Akiko patted Naomi's back as both her hands covered her sobbing face. By this time most of the villagers had forgotten about the incident on the day Hakuro took over and had grown to like him as their leader, but now he was gone, and the obvious choice was to have their old master Koji come back as head of the village.
"Akiko San, I'm in pain... I th-think I'm in labor..." Naomi cringed in pain and curled up on the floor. It was the end of her term and she was ready to have her child. "Don't worry, Naomi, I'll get the women to help." Luckily, at that time another servant woman came by from hearing the yelling. "What's going on here?" "Naomi's in labor. You need to get some more women in here to help."
"I feel like I'm going to die! Is it always this painful?"
"I'm afraid so. Just try your hardest and push when you feel like you need to."
"But I can't! This pain is unbearable!" Akiko watched Naomi's vaginal area for any signs of the baby's head. The lady returned with three other women who had delivered and nursed babies before in this village.
"How is she doing, Akiko San?"
"Naturally like the other women." The three got down and kept watch for the baby. Slowly a pink bump appeared as a sign that the child was near birth.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! IT'S TOO PAINFUL!"
"You'll be alright, Naomi Sama. It will all be over in a matter of minutes."
"I DON'T CARE! IT'S TOO MUCH!"
"Please be patient with it! You're almost fi-" As more of the baby's head came out, two tiny black ears came along with it.
"WHAT'S WRONG!? WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
"N-Nothing! Just keep pushing!"
"I-It's getting worse..." Naomi's yelling came down to talking as if she were a shy, young girl.
"It's just fine, the body is starting to come out now."
"Uhnn..." The women finally noticed that Naomi was passing out.
"One of you, get the baby and wrap it up!" The women did as Akiko ordered. "Naomi! Naomi! Speak to me!"
"Naomi, you have a son! Please, get up!" Naomi lightly opened her eyes and looked at her boy.
"Tat... su... ya..." Akiko listened as Naomi spoke her last words and drew her last breath. A final tear rolled down her face.
"Tatsuya..." Akiko turned around and stared at the baby bundled up in the woman's arms. It had no human ears, but two little black ones that came from the traits of his father badger youkai.
Hey, people! I have decided to turn this fanfiction into a doujinshi. I've already gotten finished with the first page :-p It'll be a while before I can get it onto a personal manga posting site because my house lacks a scanner. Just keep an eye out for any info on this so you can possibly read it. I'll probably update on my ficcy this or next week. Thanx for reading!
"Hurry! Get your weapons ready! "Someone find Miko Chii!" "Men! The demon approaches!" "Sir, he's destroyed our rice fields, and he's huge like InuTaishou!" Arrows and the clinking of iron swords and bits could be heard. Men were yelling, children were screaming; everyone was scrambling around in fear. "InuTaishou? He hasn't been around for about 60 years! I haven't even been around that long." "Yes, Sir.

"WHAT'S WRONG!? WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
"N-Nothing! Just keep pushing!"
"I-It's getting worse..." Naomi's yelling came down to talking as if she were a shy, young girl.
"It's just fine, the body is starting to come out now."
"Uhnn..." The women finally noticed that Naomi was passing out.
"One of you, get the baby and wrap it up!" The women did as Akiko ordered. "Naomi! Naomi! Speak to me!"
"Naomi, you have a son! Please, get up!" Naomi lightly opened her eyes and looked at her boy.
"Tat... su... ya..." Akiko listened as Naomi spoke her last words and drew her last breath. A final tear rolled down her face.
"Tatsuya..." Akiko turned around and stared at the baby bundled up in the woman's arms. It had no human ears, but two little black ones that came from the traits of his father badger youkai.
Hey, people! I have decided to turn this fanfiction into a doujinshi. I've already gotten finished with the first page :-p It'll be a while before I can get it onto a personal manga posting site because my house lacks a scanner. Just keep an eye out for any info on this so you can possibly read it. I'll probably update on my ficcy this or next week. Thanx for reading!
