Title: A Loving Sacrifice and the Heart of a Hanyou
Author: Niki-chan
Rating: R, just to be safe.
Summary: Naraku sends his latest incarnation to kidnap Kagome so he can use her ability to detect the sacred jewel shards. InuYasha vows to protect her, but when things go wrong he must turn to an unlikely ally.
Spoilers: Basic spoilers for the show, nothing too specific.
Notes: In case you're curious where I came up with the name Sanjitosama, sanjito means invincible and sama is a term of respect or authority. Also, keep in mind that I watch the English dubbed version of the series. I know there are some discrepancies in spelling between the English and Japanese versions, so I pretty much just chose the spelling I liked best.
Distribution: Want, take, have. Just let me know where it's posted!
Feedback: Please, please, PLEASE! Email me at .
Disclaimer: InuYasha and all characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I wish they were mine, but they're not. I'm only borrowing them, and I promise to put them back without a scratch. Well, maybe just a few…
Naraku stood at the edge of a small cliff. His hair moved slightly in the soft breeze and the moonlight cast a soft glow over him, glistening on his flesh. Kanna stood faithfully at his side, while Kagura watched from a few feet behind. She stared at her hands in boredom. Naraku's sorcery had always seemed so tedious to her.
Naraku stood still, his right arm extended. Suddenly a flash of light discharged from his arm, and rolled down the cliff. When the light faded a mass of flesh and tissue lay still at the bottom of the ledge. The muscle pulsed and throbbed, slowly pulling itself into the shape of a man. His silver hair hung matted and sweaty, covering his colorless eyes. The expression on his face was blank as he slowly stood, staring up at his creator on the cliff.
Another incarnation? Kagura thought with disgust. Why was Naraku such a coward? Could he not fight his own battles? She sighed, her eyes turning up to the sky.
"Sanjitosama," Naraku said, naming his creation. The demon nodded in acknowledgement, as if approving of the name. He looked to his arms, watching as they continued to pulsate. Naraku smiled as the demons arms shifted and began to take new shapes. His flesh contorted, forming first a sword, then a jagged spear, before returning to their original forms. Sanjitosama smiled at his own abilities.
"The girl," Naraku ordered. "Bring her to me." Sanjitosama nodded, turning away. "Oh, and the half-demon..." Sanjitosama smiled, already knowing Naraku's orders.
"Kill him."
Again Kagura snorted with disgust. Just like Naraku to send someone else to do his dirty work.
I know, very short... Just a little teaser to get you started...
