Lying on my throne can only do so much for the spirit. I can't help but think of him, his scent, his skin on my own. How pathetic have I become?
"Mistress, do you think it is wise to have left the half-breed free to go?" Kagura walks in casually and sits beside me. She brushes her kimono gently before turning to me again. "He now knows about yourself and that few of Naraku's minions survived his last attack."
I smile lazily at her and reply "And what could he possibly do to me? If he knows my heritage than it would give him the right to fear me. And besides, if he dared to lay a claw on me I would strike him with Black Venom."
She smirks and rubs my back, as if one would do to their little sister. "You are such an actress my dear Emi. Do you remember how you were when you first met him?"
I growl in annoyance. How dare she remind me of my folly. My fists clench in anger and I strike a stone statue next to me. It flies into small pieces and I holler "It is a mistake that shall be fixed! Now go!"
In fear, she leaves. The room is still and silent, I am now alone. I push the bangs out of my face and think: What do I do with this weakness? I close my eyes and massage my temples. There must be some distraction to this. "In a fix, aren't we Emi-san?"
"Sessho-maru sama…" I look up to see the imperial youkai leaning on a column of my palace. He is elegant and polished as always, nothing like that brother of his I love. Not even close to comparison. Inu-Yasha is totally untamed, the Lord is so subtle. I could never see him as anything to me, but I was prone to show him respect. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"My brother," he said coolly, "I heard that you had a run with him recently, or more of fun with him."
I snarl in spite, was I going to be the blunt joke of the demon world! When I take over they are all so dead… "So? Your point to this?"
"Do you know of where he was heading?"
"No, nor would I tell you." I turn my back to him and sigh heavily "Now if you would please excuse me, I have much to att-!" Before I know it he wraps his arm around my waist and inhales deeply into my hair. I am shocked and angered by this and lash out violently at him. I leave two distinct cuts on his cheeks and release the sweet flow of blood run down his pale skin. He screams in anguish, poison is sinking into his body. I'm glad, but its not enough to kill him, but give a good enough lesson.
"You bitch!"
"I'm not going to be like my father, I don't play nice." I stand up straight and stare coldly. "Now get out, and do your own dirty work."
And the lord leaves, I am alone again. I brush I claw of mine through my hair, I glance slightly at my naturally black nails. They are a constant reminder of the poison that fills my body, replacing my blood and keeping me alive now.
But now, what to do about Inu-Yasha…
I walk through the forests again, they are much richer here than my last location. I touch the limbs of a low hanging sakura branch, this is truly a blessed beauty. It scent is sweet and entrancing, but it makes me feel pained for some reason.
It has been three weeks since I gave myself to him, did he even think of me?
"What are you doing here?" a voice calls to me.
I turn around to see a wolf demon, the one know as Koga of the East Cave. He has long gruff black hair in a high pony tail and total blue eyes. He stands erect and proud, very full of himself as all males are. I just place my hands on my hips and stare at him. "Whatever I want."
He snorts and says "This no place for a woman like you."
I raise my eyebrow at him. "It isn't?"
"A woman like you," he smirks just thinking it, "should be in my bed…"
Man was everyone out to get into my pants today?
"Think not, call me when a real man shows up."
He growls in anger. "We'll see about that!" He charges straight for me. The winds of his running take giant momentum. I smirk and take a fighting stance, this would be fun.
His claws collide with mine as I block his first attack, not bad for a start. He tries to knock me over with a leg sweep, which I easily escape and jump to the side. He leaps towards me again, desperately trying to lay a hit on me. But I dodge each one to his dismay, I have been trained for anything like this.
"Start again Emi!" Father's attack came from all sides of me. Every whip and lash struck me with great power. But I was so young and small (barely ten) I could never keep up. I screamed out in pain as the vine collided with my back. I could feel the blood running down. He scolded me "Weak. How dare you even call yourself my child…"
I am never weak.
Every move he makes builds intensity, but its fruitless. He must be wondering how I dodge him, heh. I'm tired of this game with him, I elongate my claws to draw a final blow. I clasp his neck with a single hand. The flesh of his neck is so warm, so vital, but it turns cold while the poison sinks in. Such pretty blues eyes, wide with horror and fear. But rest easy now warrior, your time is now done. His body collapses under me, he is limp and near lifeless. But do I kill him? He has no purpose here…
And so the wolf demon dies.
I drop his body, it turns paler in death. He seemed so beautiful, so strong and full of pride. A thought comes to me. Maybe I can use this to my advantage. So I pick him up again, and drag him to my home like some trophy prize. My dear wolf, welcome to my new army of Hell…
When I enter, I toss my kill on the floor, Kanna is serving tea. Oh sweet white-haired child, the array of desciving innocence is simply alluring to me. "Mistress…" her soft voice drawls out as she hands me a cup. "Your tea…"
I take it from her, with a small thank you. The aroma of it is soothing and gentle, it is hot and sweet on my lips. A small smile graces me in thinking. "Back to my old wicked self again."
