The news had spread fast, through the whole community by now. All of the people that lived in the walls, plus the surrounding farmers, and a few forest animals stood looking into the river that had flowed through it for so many years. Each eye was intent on catching any little motion that was to be made. Yet, nothing happened, not even the fallen autum leaves rustled as the wind blew through. The sun was hidden behind the clouds, and along with silience gave the afternoon an eerie feeling. A mother no older than the age of 20 stood holding the hand of her daughter, a tear escaping the corner of her eye for all to see. An elder broke the silience by clearing his throat and saying "We must, for the sake of our community, sacrifice a child each year...this year, little Amaya has been chosen. I am so sorry Kiera.." the elder spoke to the mother. she said nothing in return. She was hopeing her husband would have made it back from the battle by now, a strong warrior made many desisions for the community. She was hopeing he would have been able to save thier little Amaya.
Amaya, not a day older than 5 looked to her mother, "Where am I going?" she asked with such trust in her eyes. Kiera wrapped her arms around her, embracing her tightly "You have to go, but someday I'll be there with you Amaya....Be strong my litle one." was the last words she spoke to her daughter as she and the rest of the community left her, they wouldn't bare watch her be eaten, in fear of being eaten themselves. Tears swelled in Amaya's eyes as they shrunk in the distance, but fear soon replaced it when the water stirred, parting to show a water beast. Long like to chinese dragon, and as big as the sky itself.
Nearby the ears twitched of a half dog demon, his golden eyes showing alertness. "A water demon is near.." he said to himself but it had reached the ears of a what looked to be a modern day school girl. "It has a jewel shard..." She had sensed it earlier, but for some reason had kept it to herself. The dog demon known as Inuyasha, quickly got eye contact with her. "And why didn't you tell me before?"
The rude tone, though always heard from him, made her frown. "I don't know. Maybe I didn't feel like it." She replied standing up from her spot on a hollow log. "Well let's go Kagome!" Inuyasha growled.
Kagome jumped on Inuyahsa's back, a faster way of transportation other than her human legs could take her. Inuyasha's speed was emense, the trees flew by at lighting speed, and sometimes this would scare Kagome a little. But she knew he had perfect control. they came to a river, the same as the one where the community stood just moments ago. He followed it down wind, the beast's scent become stronger and more powerful by the stride. The head of the beast became clear over the tree tops, and Inuyasha snarled "Finally, someone worth fighting."
Nothing was more frightining to the little girl, there it stood, towering over her, almost like it was trying to intimidate her. "For your sacrifice, I will leave the village alone." It's voice boomed like thunder as it rolled off the tip of his forked like tounge. Amaya whinced with fear, as the tears streamed down her face. Amaya-meaning night rain. Her name was given to her by a wise priestest, and she gave her that name for a reason. As the tears increased, a storm brewed quickly above her, Rain began pelting down, as Inuyasha came to a stop just behind her. "What is happening here child? Your efforts are useless." the serpent like dragon spat.
Little did the girl know that that power that was showing now, had layed doorment in her for so long. Her unknown power to create storms of great disaster, was now coming to save her from the beast. Inuyahsa watched, no longer eager to fight as he saw the girls power. The more she cried, the more powerful the wind and hail became, the more it hurt the beast. With one last gust of energy the beast was layed dead, and crashed into the water. Amaya sniffled, still shooken up. "W-what happened?...." she asked herself. Kagome hopped off Inuyasha's back, walking to her. She kneeled beside Amaya, "You have queit the powers." she said soothingly.
Amaya looked at her, "Who are you?" she asked, "I'm Kagome, a priestest. Where is your mother?"
Amaya wiped her eyes of the tears, "I don't want to go back to her...She's the one who left me here for that beast to eat me." she said pointing to where the dead beast fell. Kagome frowned, "Well, come with us, We'll find you a place to stay." Kagome picked amaya up, walking back to Inuyasha. "Let's find her someone to live with tomarrow, we should rest now." Inuyasha nodded, the little girl seemed familiar to him....but he shook off the thought.
A/N: I'm sorry that was really short, but I just wanted to try out the story. Odd I know, but I like writing it. I'll update soon if I get some reviews, so review :)
