Chapter 6: The Origin of Kei

Disclaimer: siiiiiiiiiiiiigh I refuse to say anything..... I'm being stubborn, aren't I? Hee hee...

A/N: Since this is talking about Demon-Slayer13's character's past, the chapter will be written in italics.

Kei was the daughter of the priest Matsu, her father, and the cat-demon Emiko, her mother. Matsu was a wanderer and met Emiko; the two fell in love instantly. Matsu was only eighteen, and Emiko seventeen. With that, Kei, the neko-hanyou, was born. After Kei was born, only one day old, Matsu left without a word, leaving Emiko heartbroken, her soul torn and shattered; she alone, raised Kei by herself for two hundred and ten years (Kei appearing fourteen), finding new love with another cat-demon. Akako, Kei's younger sister, was born.

It was Kei's two hundred and tenth birthday, although she appeared only fourteen. Emiko began to yell at her and the two argued and sent insults and curses to one another.

"You filthy half-breed!" Emiko screeched.

Kei felt tears brimming on her lids, and, sobbing, ran from the hut, leaving Emiko to fume by herself.

Kei was beginning to feel scared as she left the outskirts of her village and was deep in the woods, almost on the other side. Many hours had passed and the afternoon was turning into a dark, black night. There were no stars out to light her way. Keiwas never by herself out here before, at least, by herself, so with that, she turned to head home.

A small red object caught her eye as it stood beside rubble and ruins. She then realized it was a dragon!

"What's with the rubble? What happened? Who are you?" she asked the dragon, and prodded its back. It held in its tiny clawed hands a large chunk of the gate surrounding the village.

"A terrible youkai destroyed this village!" It squeaked timidly, almost fearfully and he paused. "I am Tiamat, the dragon."

Kei's heart dropped into the pits of her stomach. She began to cry and ran into her torn-down village. The red dragon followed, its wings flapping quickly as it soared through the air. Frantically, Kei searched for her mother's body. She threw aside rubble and found long strands of her mother's hair. Her heart stopped beating and she fastened her pace. Finally, she pulled her mother out from underneath; Emiko's body was coated in dust and had many burns on her body. Her gray eyes were still opened, lost-looking, and they were filled with sadness and fear.

Suddenly, a sound filled Kei's cat ears and she turned to see Akako standing in the rubble. She, too, was covered in dust, but unharmed. Kei smiled and took Akako. She ran off with Akako and the dragon, leaving the village once more.

"Girl, give me that demon."

Kei turned around and saw a tall priest standing there. She glared at him.

"No way!" she shouted, shaking her head.

"I said give me that demon. She's a full demon and must be destroyed, otherwise the unthinkable will happen!"

Kei didn't move, instead planted her feet on the ground stubbornly.

"You leave me no choice." With that, he sprung at her.

Kei hissed at him and leapt away.

"Take Akako, Tiamat!" Kei handed Akako to Tiamat and turned back to the priest.

As she turned, the priest had flung spirtual scrolls in her direction. They stuck to her and she could not move as she lay helplessly on the ground. The priest walked over to Tiamat and Akako, knocked the dragon unconscious, and took the girl. He spoke to Kei with his back to her as he walked away, muttering, "Kei, you may not know me, but I am Matsu...your father. I must destroy Akako. She is a full-fledged demon. It could be dangerous."

Kei cried out as she watched her father walk away with Akako struggling in his grasp.

"AKAKO!!"

The spirtual scrolls eventually wore off and Kei was free, but Matsu and Akako were long gone by now. Kei began hurrying after the two with Tiamat. Soon enough, Kei was surrounded by trees, green everywhere. A well covered in ivy and vines caught her eye. Then she noticed a girl leaning over it... Kei dashed over and saw the two falling in it. She lunged forward to grab them, missed, and fell downwards too.

There was a purplish flash and they landed on the loamy soil floor. The girl and her little brother didn't notice Kei and began to climb upwards to the top of the well. Kei did so, too.

The girl called Yumi climbed up to her waiting little brother Denieru and she gasped at the surroundings. Kei's jaw dropped.

"Where are we?!" they exclaimed.

They were no longer in the Sengoku Jidai, but in a shrine inside a large city.

Tokyo.
