(disclaimer- okay first of all I do not own inuyasha or any characters though I wish I could, I do not.
A/N-constructive criticism is perfectly fine, I do not like flames, however I will answer them. also, this is my first chapter for my first story, so take it easy.)
Chapter 1: Ravens cry
There was an odd wind that night. A man sat in a wooden chair on the peak of a hill, with his arms crossed over his chest. He held a bronze bell in one hand and had a blue jay perched on his shoulder. He was the watch man, and he was waiting for the next male demon to come into the clearing.
The man was watching over a very special creature, a young girl,that lookedthe age of 17 in human years. She had shimmering white hair with 2 perky coyote ears that were decorated with earrings, she was a wold, a coyote demon from the southern lands, she held up the looks that were expected of the wolds, deep blue tribal markings on most of her body. She had one dazzling blue eye and a strikingly beautiful green eye. He did not know what her name was, all he knew is that he was in charge of watching and waiting. She was a trap, for a male could smell a female in heat at least 2 to 3 miles from her, which made it increasingly hard for a woman to live in peace.
She was chained to the ground by chains made of demon bones, made by the demon slayers of the village. Unfortunately male demon bones were becoming scarce, but female bones were not too hard to find lately, for rumor has it that males bones are thicker than a females. (A/N- Ha only bone that is thick on a guy is his skull hides Just kidding :P)
The man hesitated and looked up at the now slate gray sky. He stared out into the distance, a wall of rain was forming a mile or two in the distance. He stood up and stared down at the wild and un broken wold laying in a heap at the bottom of the sloping hill. He hit the bell once, signaling that it was time to pack up and head off for the village. There were some suppressed groans before men ambled out of the bushes and jumped from branches. The site had been cleared of blood, and human scents had been erased after each kill, now the scent wafted heavily. Men grabbed carcasses and scattered belongings. A young boy that had come to watch how to hunt approached an older man. "What shall we do with the wold?" asked the young one. " leave her here." he said simply, " We have no further use for her, perhaps a demon will feel sorry for her and put her out of her misery. Besides she cant escape, she's under a immobilization spell, that's powerful magic that is." he said to the young child.
Ravens ear twitched, she heard every word they said due to her sensitive hearing. What she had been listening for however, was not mentioned. She had been waiting for one of them to ask what they should to with the shard of the shikon no tama that was tied around her neck. She had rightfully earned it 'The forefathers gave this to me, and they would have to pry it from my dead lifeless hands before I willingly gave it to them.' she thought. She felt her hands loosen up and immediately began to fight the spell. She felt better, but unfortunately could now feel the sharp pains that she had been endowed with when she fought off the humans. She could move her arms, and she tenderly touched her side, It was the only part of her that was warm. She lifted her hand to her face, 'blood' she thought.
She looked to the south, a wall of rail was approaching the meadow. Luckily the wind had changed courses and she was now down wind. Rain started to shower her body, it felt cool and refreshing. Her eyelids felt like they weighed a ton, she closed her eyes and rested herself against the cool ground. the metal collar had been choking at her all day, luckily her leather one beneath it kept it from causing damage. (A/N I think now is a good time to describe her outfit!)
She wore skinned deer hide baggy pants in a deep shade of beige that had a type of netting tied around the waist. Her top was alot like a tube top only it came just under the breasts and just below her cleavage exposing alot of it. It stopped just past the cleavage(on the sides, about where a bikini side stops) and tied in three strings in the back, two straps also tied around her neck (like a bikini, how it ties around the neck) only they were made of thick leather. The wolds wore this most of the year except in winter. Her arms had Gold thick bracelets that breathed like Egyptian cotton, (in other words, its comfy to wear and they don't make you sweat.)
However, she was in grave danger, and boy did she know it. Her side was bleeding profusely, and surly it would attract someone or something. 'Great now I don't even have humans to protect me. What am I saying! Where has my dignity gone!' just then her subconscious kicked in. 'Down the pipes, Id say. Hellooo in case you haven't noticed, your chained and dying, nice job bone head, your fault we are in this mess to begin with.' Just then she heard a rustling at the edge of the clearing
' OMG I'm dead I'm so dead!' Just then a tall man walked into the clearing, he held something fluffy on his shoulder. He had long silver hair, and he looked like he was hunting for something. He had his hand behind him as though he was signaling for a young one to stay back. Just then he turned his head and looked in her direction.
Her ears perked up and she lifted her head off of the ground, but soon her head collapsed in the grass again, she was loosing her energy and patience at a rapid pace, 'I am a noble wold of the south, and I am not to be touched' she said to herself, sounding as though she chained herself up every day and let men walk up to her. He turned his head to the side and raised a suspicious eyebrow. He smelled human, but they were long gone. He entered the clearing and rain soaked him and his kimono. "Who are you? I do not recognize your sent." he said keeping his distance.
"I am Raven a wold to the south, captured and used pitifully as a trap.
But Im sure you would know that the men are gone, judging by the way you entered the clearing." He looked down at her and examined her large open wound on her side. Not only did he take this into consideration but also the fact that she was very beautiful. He examined the way she had positioned herself. her hip bones gouged out from starvation, 'they must have kept her out here for a long time' he thought. She had the perfect body and a stunning face. ' But would she make a suitable mother? She seems a noble lady. Even if her attire is a bit odd. looks like hunting clothes, so she could be swift and quiet. but before I even consider any more she must be able to put up with rin before she could bear a child of mine. her hip looks like it could handle a toddler resting on it. Ahh what am I thinking, too quick way too quick on the thinking there sesshoumaru!'
Just then she broke the silence " Listen, my patience and energy are wearing thin, if you could help me out of this predicament I would be greatly obliged and repay you accordingly." She said, just so as long as I can stay with this guy I'm sure I can get by in these foreign lands. He ripped the collar off and the thick bracelets. "Thank you" she said and tried to stand but she cried out in a coyote like manner and landed in a heap, he kneeled down and picked her up in a bridal fashion and tried to help her stand but it was no use, so he simply carried her. She, on instinct, nuzzled close to him. Her instinct simply implied that she take help when help is needed, and stick close. He looked down at her and some what grinned at her. 'wonder if she even knows who I am? no worries, I will tell her when she recovers' he thought.' for now, appearences do not matter.'
