Ok I have a few things I need to explain. First of all I was asked, "Why did Sesshomaru bed a human?" Well you see even though he says he despises humans, Rin proved this to be untrue. In time his guard against them fell and he basically fell for a human woman. Also I read through my chapters and noticed some seem rushed. This is because I was tired and bored with a certain part of the story and was trying to reach another part faster. For this I apologize. Now before you continue on with the story I want to also say that you might want to check the first couple chapters soon, I'm thinking of fixing them up a bit. Enjoy my story and please R&R.
The winds blew and the rain fell. It seemed as if the weather was warning the world of oncoming dangers. At least that is what it seemed to him. He stood there on the mountain's edge staring out over the vast land he called home. His long black robe blew and swirled in the wind. He looked like something out of those old stories the Elders would tell around the camp fire. A robe of the blackest shade, like night it's self. On his face he wore a mask to hide his face. It was a white mask with black tribal like markings. One marking that stuck out the most was the one across the right eye. It was like a diamond, like a scar. The markings were all pointed and looked almost as if black lightening spread out across his face.
"I fear I may die before I get to see this world a new." He said softly.
Cleary it was a man by the sound of his voice. It wasn't rough or scrappy. It was soft and smooth, but deep enough to be a mans.
He turned around and entered the cave that lay before him. Inside a roaring fire burned. An old woman sat beside the fire hammering away at a piece of metal. Sweat poured down her face and she seemed stressed.
"Is my sword nearly done hag?" He asked a trace of annoyance in his tone.
"It will be done shortly. Do not rush me." She barked her voice ragged.
He sat within the confines of the cave for well over two hours before the hag finally announced the sword was done. After another thirty minutes or so for it to cool, he was ready to be off. He reached within his cloak and handed the woman a shining red gem.
"Here as I promised, the Crow's Eye Gem." He said.
He bowed slightly to the woman before leaving. As he set out to make his way down the rocky mountain thoughts plagued his mind. There was a rumoring spreading around the demon network about a half demon and a human girl who were challenging the great Demon Lord Naraku. Most demons applauded their actions, yet others feared it. If Lord Naraku became to furious her may very well take it out on all of them. Softly the cloaked man laughed.
"I personally am glad they challenging him. I don't think they'll beat him but still, at least I can take comfort in the fact that Naraku is having a bit of a struggle with them."
The man grabbed hold of his mask as a large gust of wind came roaring up the mountain side. His long soft brown hair swirled up in the gust. He gazed up to the sky to see swirling clouds. There was going to be a storm. Ever since he had sensed that large burst of energy the weather had been rather strange. It had rained mostly in soft pours, like the tears of a crying woman. Other times it had stormed with such force that it was as if the Gods were mixing it up with the wave of their hands. There had been but one day where it could considered "nice" out. That had been two days ago. It had been somewhat clear, though with clouds still around, still it hadn't stormed and there had been no winds.
Slightly the masked man stumbled as his foot was caught onto a rock pulling him forward. He kicked at the rock knocking it over the edge. When he finally reached the bottom of the mountain the rain began to pour. He was rather thankful it had waited until now to start, had it started while he made his way down the mountain he may have had a slip up. The rain didn't really bother him, so he continued on his way north-east. It was after all, the direction he had felt that burst of energy. If he was lucky he could possible come across a great treasure. Such as the Crow's Eye which he had given to the woman. A gem which if inserted into the eye socket could allow you to see the dead and take the soul of another person. Why the old hag had wanted it, was something he didn't really want to know.
It was like a hobby for him to collect such treasures. He could sell them or trade them for greater things which he needed. In this time it was rather hard to find things to gain power with. Naraku had nearly sucked the land dry of any source of power and so demons and humans alike strived to find the few items they could.
He drew the sword from it's sheath at his side to examine it. He hadn't really looked at it closely yet. The handle was a rough metal alloy, strong enough for any grip. Around that was a soft almost rubbery grip which made it a little more comfortable to hold. The blade it's self was amazing. A shining metal which was stronger then any he'd come across in his life. Carved within it were old sacred words that none but he could read.
"Lac Nu Sastuio Heesh, So Catunata." He read aloud.
In a much lower voice he said. "By the Howl of the Wolf, I strike."
He placed the sword back within it's sheath and paid more attention to his surroundings. It was hard to tell where he was really. The rain was beating down so hard that it was as if a curtain was in front of him. He squinted slightly trying to see out before him. He couldn't see, but he could sense and smell what lay before him. He could smell the sweet scent of a human woman and the mix smell of dingy and sweet scent of a half breed. He gripped his hand upon his sword hilt and ran forward. His speed was unmatchable nearly eye-uncatchable. He hoped it was the girl and half breed everyone was talking about. If the rumor was true then the half breed possessed a sword that would be rather convenient for him.
When his speed fell and grew slower the winds that had followed his feet dispersed. He walked quietly towards the two figures that rested underneath a tree. One seemed to be laying down while the other sat up tending to the one on the ground. The sound of soft crying hit his ears and the salty smell of tears hit his nose. Suddenly his body froze. The scent of the human girl seemed familiar. It wrapped it's self around him consuming him in what would be his past, if he would allow it to. However he shook his head dismissing the feeling.
He crept forward towards the couple. He would strike quickly grabbing the sword. Give them credit for making it this far against Naraku, and then simply leave. He would allow them life, only because he felt a pinch of respect for them and their courage. He might be ruthless enough to kill, but he still had his morals.
"Don't think I don't know your there demon." The half breed barked.
"Ahh, I see that your very keen. I'm impressed." The masked man said in a teasing manner.
"Go away alright. We have nothing of interest for you. Just leave us be, she's sick…and I don't need anymore trouble."
"Aren't you the demanding one. Actually you do have something I want. That sword of yours interests me very much. Why don't you just hand it over and I won't cause any problems for you."
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you demon? I've battled off many of Naraku's own minions. I have taken on Naraku himself in my lifetime. I've killed hundred, if not thousands, of demons. Why would I be afraid of you? I know who you are. I can smell it. I'm surprised you don't recognize me." The half breed said as calmly as if he was talking about the weather.
The whole time he spoke he didn't once look up at the man before him. Instead he continued to tend to the wound on the woman's stomach. A thin blanket lay over the woman's face keeping it from getting to cold or wet, which one It was he didn't know.
"I don't know anyone. I keep to myself and I like it that way. How is it you know me?" He asked a bit curious.
"From your past. If you do not remember me then very well. Just leave us and keep it that way." He barked.
Now his annoyance was beginning to rise within him. How dare this mutt treat him like this. He was higher in power. After all he was full demon.
"Shut up mutt. I will take that sword and slay you both. I was willing to let you live, but not anymore." He growled softly.
"No…please…don't…" The girl cried from beneath her blanket.
"Shh, rest please." The half breed cooed.
The girl refused to listen to him. She slowly sat up and pulled the blanket from her head. She held a hand over her wound as if it would make the pain go away. She stared up at the masked man with sad brown eyes.
"Please don't hurt us. We've been through enough. We're going to kill Naraku and free all of you, so just let us go. If you kill us then Naraku will rule forevermore." She pleaded.
Slowly his eyes widened. He suddenly remembered why that scent was familiar, her face was familiar as well. It was the face that haunted him often in his dreams. The face that smiled and the voice which calmed him when he was on edge.
"Kagome please lay back down." The hanyou said.
Hearing that name was the last piece to solve the puzzle. It was her, the woman in his dreams, the woman from his past.
The man took the mask within his hands and pulled it from his face. His hair fell all around him, on the side of his shoulders and down his back. His eyes were a wolfish brown and glowed with the presence of demon blood.
"Kagome….do you…remember me?" He asked softly.
Kagome stared up at the demon. His pointed ears stuck out of his hair giving him an even more elegant look. Suddenly she noticed the tail that poked out from robe. It was a long luscious brown wolf tail. She gasped softly. She nodded slowly. "Is it really…"
"Yes, it's me Kagome, K..Kouga."
