Hi. I was bored and I decided to write a story. I don't know how it'll work, but I'll try anyway. Um, let's see, told why, share concerns.......oh yeah! INUYASHA ROX!!! Ok, I'm done. Enjoy!!!
The sun shone on the big grass field, the rays slowly drying the dew on the grass. Yuki-agi Menari Tokijiro slept on a shaded patch of grass, under a weeping willow tree, a saddle rested under her head and her horse tethered to a sturdy branch. She was muscled and lanky; her blonde hair flowing around her face and a dark blue bandana was tied around her forehead. She had a sleeveless white top with baggy black pants. A hooded blue vest was over her white top. She had two earrings on her left ear and three on her right. She had a tattoo on the front of her wrist that had the number 13 on it. She had another one in the middle of her upper chest that was a picture of a dragon around a knife. She was curled in a ball, and her arms were around her head. A backpack was on her left side, and it wiggled. All of the sudden, a creature popped out. It was small, and it had puppy-like blue eyes. It was scaled, and it had long thin blue wings that were about 7 inches long from one wing-tip to the other. Its mouth had razor sharp fangs poking out. It crawled out of the backpack and shambled toward Yuki, its tail shaking over and over as it walked. It bumped it's head on Yuki's shoulder, poking her with its sharp ridges. Yuki jumped awake, her hand going to her belt where her knife was. Her eyes darted around warily, then looked down and relaxed.
"Maxie! Don't scare me like that!" she said, putting her hands above her head and she stretched. Scratching her head, she yawned. Going over to her horse, she scratched its ears. Putting the saddle back on him, she tightened the straps. Maxie walked over to Yuki, croaking and looking up. Yuki looked down, smiled, and bent over, hand resting on the ground near Maxie. He climbed up her arm onto her shoulder, head resting on her shoulder blade. Digging into her saddle bag, she grabbed a piece of bread. Chewing on it, she walked into the light. Shading her eyes, she looked around. The field seemed endless, its green color going on forever. There was a brown path winded into the distance, towards the north.
"Hmmm. Probably should go over there." Yuki mused to herself, scratching Maxie's eye ridges. Walking back to her horse, she climbed on. She nudged him forward; she went to the dirt trail. She looked around, already bored. Just then, she heard a shout from ahead of her. Crinkling her forehead, she spurred her horse into a run. She went up a big hill, and gasped. There was a decimated village right below the rise. Burned houses were all around, the foundations crumbling. Bodies were everywhere. All sizes and shapes. Yuki jumped off her horse and walked it down into the square.
"Where'd I hear that yell from?" Yuki said, looking around warily. She heard another shout just ahead of her. She dropped the reins, grabbed her knife, and crouched. Walking towards the building, she unsheathed her knife silently. She hid behind and wall and warily looked above it. A boy was in the middle of about 10 men, their swords pointed at him. Yuki sighed in exasperation, and then walked out. The boy looked about as old as she was, maybe a little older. He had brown hair that was in a untidy ponytail and matching brown eyes. He had no shirt, and torn blue pants. He had blood running from a cut on his flat stomach. His eyes were full of hatred as he stared at the men. No one even noticed her as she walked up to them. With a flick of her hand, she threw her knife at the closest man, hitting him in the neck. Blood poured from the wound as the man fell, never to rise again. She ran to the man and pulled the knife from his neck. The remaining men looked at their fallen comrade, and then they looked at Yuki. She smiled and bowed.
"I'm here 'til Saturday!!" She said, rising up from the bow. She saw the boy look at her curiously.
"Do you even know who we are, girl?" One man said, taking one menacing step towards her.
"Ummm….. No, not really. Should I?" Yuki said, her hand tightening on her knife.
"Well, we are of the Kame."
"Huh? What's Kame? Some sorta group that sits around a campfire and sings 'kumbaya'?" she said, smirking as she threw her knife at the man. It also hit him in the neck. The other eight men looked at her with hatred, not noticing the boy. He grabbed the closest mans sword and ran him through. At the same time, Yuki grabbed the man that she just killed, rolled him over and grabbed his sword. When she looked up, she saw a man coming towards her. Bringing up the sword, she parried the blow. She saw the boy fighting with two men. Quickly kicking the man in the shin, she decapitated him and ran to help the boy. She caught one man by surprise and ran him through. The other man looked at his fallen companion and the boy ran him through. The remaining four men ran for their lives. Yuki threw the sword to the ground and wiped her hands.
"Hi. My name's Yuki." She said, smiling.
"Oh, uhh….My name's Kohaku." He said. Yuki put two fingers to her lips and whistled. Nui, her horse, and Maxie ran towards her.
"Woah!" Kohaku said, looking at her huge horse. She climbed on and looked down.
"Wanna come with me? I'm not going in anywhere particular." She said, offering her hand. He looked troubled, but nodded.
"If you don't mind." He said, grabbing her hand. She pulled him up behind her, Maxie growling.
"Hey! Get in that backpack!" She scowled. Maxie went in dejectedly.
"Sorry. Well, shall we go?" Kohaku nodded. Yuki nodded also, and the four started foreword.
How was that? Good? Bad? Horrible? Inu and Kag and everyone are coming up, just had to start somewhere. Reveiws, please!!!
