Chapter 2

So there I was searching the country for any leads on the great inu-youkai (dog demon). Unfortunately luck seemed to have abandoned me. The weak demons fled from me and the stronger ones had the nerve to pretend not to know who I was asking about. That was the last mistake they made.

I don't much like the taste of demon flesh and preying on such weak creatures as humans is beneath me. I prefer to feast on animals that humans so arrogantly enslave. A horse or a young calf is enough to sustain me for a few weeks. I chose to rest in the tops of tall trees but only for a few hours, then I resumed my hunt. But lately I had sensed a strong power. At first I suspected InuTaisho, but I soon realized that this power originated from a vile hanyou (half demon). Clearly this half demon was playing around with some serious power, but it was of no concern to me. After all, playing around with that kind of power only led to one's downfall, and I had no interest in watching some idiotic half demon drown himself in his own miasma. No, I had a score to settle.

It was almost a full moon cycle after this that I stumbled upon a lead. I was nearing a small village, a prime place for me to get my next meal, when I spotted a human girl dragging an abnormally large bag out of a well. How strange, I thought, for someone to be in a well in the first place. I was about to enquire as to this girl's sanity when I stopped. I cursed my curiosity. It had always been one of my flaws and I barely controlled it. I left the girl and well behind, flying low above the trees.

I stopped just before the village. What's this? I sensed a miko (priestess) within the village. This one was weak but still, I did not want any trouble. I quickly concealed my demonic traits, a handy power that not only hid my wings and tail but also made my scent human. A useful, yet disgusting prospect. Unless my blood is spilled, in which case it will regain its demonic scent, I am by all appearances human. So in my human guise I entered the village. It seemed a typical village. Old men and scattered children throughout the village. I inwardly cringed at the overpowering human stench. I spotted the priestess, an old and slightly overweight woman with an eye patch. I almost killed her then and there for making me believe she posed a threat in the first place but any exposure would surely alert demons and maybe even InuTaisho to the existence of a dragon youkai. This I could not allow so for now I would have to play the nice demon.

I made my way to the stables and found a nice plump horse that looked somewhat desirable to eat. Now, I must have pissed off a god in a past life for at that moment the fat, old miko walks in.

"Who are you? I haven't seen ye in the village before. What are you doing with that horse?"

"I'm just passing through with my horse and now we're leaving" I looked into her eyes, letting my hypnotic gaze entrance her until her eyes took on a glazed look.

"Oh I see. Be safe walking through that forest, there are many demons around."

"thank you"

I lead the horse away leaving the old woman in a trance. She would come to her senses soon and forget our conversation. I smiled inwardly. That was easy, I thought, she was weaker than I thought.

I left the village and consumed my meal nearby. I was just about to dispose of the remains when I heard voices approaching. I quickly got rid of all the evidence of my meal and with no time left to take to the skies I cloaked my demonic traits and hid behind some bushes.

"I can smell blood" one of the voices said

"Is it a demon?' another asked

"I don't think so." Said the first.

Two figures stepped into the clearing. One was a monk dressed in dark blues and purples and the other was a half demon with white dog ears dressed in red robes. I sniffed the air, wondering if this was the hanyou I had sensed earlier and gasped. This wasn't the one I had sensed earlier, this one was half dog demon and carried the scent of InuTaisho! He would lead me to his father and then, I thought with pleasure, I will bathe in his blood as his father did to my people.

"What was that?" the half demon exclaimed, white dog ears now alert.

"I think someone is here" the monk said seriously.

They started heading towards my hiding place. My heart was beating wildly. They were only 2 feet away when,

"INUYASHA SIT BOY!"

WHAM

I watched with fascination as the half breed's necklace glowed then dragged him to the ground with tremendous force and speed. I looked with newfound interest at the girl who's command had created a crater of the half demon.

"Kagome what was that for?" so the girl's name was Kagome, that made the half demon InuYasha.

"You beat up Shippo again! He just told me."

"hmph" InuYasha just turned up his nose at that.

"You know InuYasha, she has a point." The monk stated

"Shut up Miroku!" ok monk equals Miroku I though to myself. Now that I knew their names I could search them out for information later, but for now I thought it best to take my leave. I turned to sneak away when,

"who are you?" I found myself staring onto the eyes of a young fox demon. Surprised, I stood up quickly. Big mistake.

"Hey! Who are you?" Great. Another person. This one was dressed in the attire of a demon slayer and was descending into the clearing on a cat demon. This caught the intention of InuYasha, Miroku, and Kagome.

"Hey Sango! Hey Shippo!" thanks to Kagome I now was able to label the demon slayer and young kitsune (fox demon).

"Who are you?" InuYasha asked me. Thank god I had remembered to conceal my demon features.

"An'ya" Was all I said. My time for friend making had expired. I needed to get out of there fast. It's not like me to run so I used the old "what's that over there?" trick and took to the skies. Thankfully none saw me leave and everyone just assumed I had run off. InuYasha, I thought, I'll see you later tonight. Just the thought of torturing information out of the son of my sworn enemy made me shiver with pleasure. InuTaisho, first I will kill your half breed son and then I will come to kill you.

So what do you think of my story so far? In case you haven't figured it out yet, An'ya is a GIRL. Unfortunately one of my denser friends failed to figure it out and told me so. I responded by feeding her to a pack of wolf demons. Anyway, Next chapter: An'ya will have to postpone torturing InuYasha for info after she comes across a very interesting scent. Please review!
