Everything seemed peaceful, it was a quiet evening in small village. But this peaceful night soon became frightful. Loud thumping was heard, it was the sound of footsteps coming, large footsteps. The thing that was making the footsteps growled loudly. People stayed in their huts and stayed quiet. What was ravaging the village was a huge bear demon. "Young miss, wake up !" said a villager as he shook a girl awake. "Hmm ? Whats happening ?" asked the girl. "Its time for you to your job" said the villager. The girl grinned and bolted out of the hut. She jumped up on top of another hut and saw the bear demon. "Hey you big ugly thing, im over here !!" shouted the girl.
The bear demon stopped stalking and faced the girl. "Yep ! Here I am, Serenity the great crossbreed !" shouted the girl. The bear demon charged at serenity and swiped its long claws at her. Serenity jumped out of the way, but the bear ended up slashing a hut to pieces. "Oh no ! I think someone was in there !" thought serenity. Then serenity was slashed across her back by the bear demon. "Big mistake...that really hurt !!!!" yelled serenity as she charged at the demon. Instead of attacking it head on, Serenity jumped over it and ran into the forest. The bear demon chased after her. "Is she running away ?" asked a villager. Then loud thumping sounds were heard. Trees where uprooted and then a large blast of blue flames was seen.
(A bit later)
"Here, I killed it, and heres proof" said serenity as she threw a large blanket-like size of fur on the ground. Sure enough, it was the fur of the bear demon. "Your help is most appreciated, wont you be staying in our village a bit longer ?" asked a villager. "Im afraid I must go" said serenity. "Wont you please reconsider ? We haven't even paid you for slaying the demon" said the villager. "Well, alright, if you insist" said serenity. Serenity then noticed a boy looking at her from a distance. "Hmm...is he watching me ?" thought serenity.
(A bit later)
Serenity was sleeping in hut and was tossing and turning. The image of the boy who was looking at her came to mind. "Where have I seen that boy before ?" thought serenity. Something passed by the hut serenity was in, serenity quickly awoke and went outside. The same boy from before was in front of her. The boy wore a green kimono shirt and matching pants, had brown eyes and black hair. "Who are you and what do you want ?" asked serenity. The boy didn't speak. "Well, don't just stand there, come inside with me, its cold" said serenity as she went back into her hut. The boy quickly followed her. "So, you have a name ?" asked serenity. The boy just sat down and looked at serenity. "O...k...are you from around here ?" asked serenity. Total silence was the boy's answer. "Well, im going back to sleep, don't get any ideas" said serenity as she laid down with her back facing the boy.
(The next day)
Serenity was awakened by the same boy and this time, he was smiling at her. "Hello, are you in the mood to talk ?" asked serenity. The boy nodded and spoke up. "Kodichi" said the boy. "Is that your name ?" asked serenity. "Yes, what is yours ?" asked Kodichi. "Serenity" said serenity cutely. "Thanks, you're the only person who's been nice to me" said Kodichi. "Not even your parents like you ?" asked serenity. "They...they...did love me, but they..." was all Kodichi could say before he started crying.
Serenity patted his head comfortingly, but Kodichi clung to her and cried on her chest. Serenity was about to push him away, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She embraced him and let him cry. "Its ok, let it out" said serenity softly. Kodichi's sobs soon became hiccups and sniffles. "You alright now ?" asked serenity. Kodichi nodded a bit, yet still clung to serenity. "I know what you were going to say. They died, huh ?" said serenity. "y-yes" said Kodichi.
"My mom passed away long ago, I don't remember my father, so I know how you feel" said serenity, trying not to show her sadness. "You mean, you never knew your father ?" asked Kodichi. "No, I knew him. I just don't remember him much" said serenity. Serenity stood up and Kodichi got up with her. "Thanks for wetting my shirt" said serenity sarcastically. "Im sorry" said Kodichi. "Its alright I'll go stand in the sun a bit" said serenity. "Can I come with you ?" asked Kodichi. Serenity nodded and left the hut followed by Kodichi.
Outside, Kodichi sat at the base of a tree while serenity sat on one of its branches. "Kodichi ! Heads up !" said serenity as she dropped an apple to him. Kodichi caught it and bit into it. "Thanks Serenity-sama" said Kodichi. Serenity's eyes sparkled from hearing the term 'sama' at the end of her name. "No need to call me that" said serenity. "I won't call you that if you don't want me to" said Kodichi. "No, no ! Its ok, I don't mind" said serenity. "Ok then" said Kodichi. Serenity smiled, then blushed a bit. She gasped at this emotion. "What is this im feeling ?" thought serenity.
She looked down at Kodichi who was biting away at his apple. "I've never felt...like this before. Its like I want to spend more time with this...human" thought serenity. Kodichi looked up at serenity. "Why is your face red ?" asked Kodichi, even though he kinda knew why. "No reason !" said serenity as she sat up and looked at nothing in particular. "I can't...like him ! I already have Koga ! At least I think I do..." thought serenity. Sure, serenity loved Koga, but there was an age difference. Plus, Inu-yasha couldn't stand seeing is younger sister in love with his enemy. "Can Kodichi really be my...NO !! I won't believe that ! I can't have feelings for a human !" thought serenity. During her thinking, serenity fell off the tree branch she was on.
"Serenity-sama ! Are you alright ?!" asked Kodichi. "That depends, whats your definition of alright ?" said serenity as she got up and sat down. "That was a long fall, I thought you'd be hurt" said Kodichi. "Im ok, nothings broken" said serenity. Kodichi sat closer to serenity. "Im glad your ok" said Kodichi. "Why is that ?" asked serenity as got closer to Kodichi. "Well, you're my friend, I was scared and thought you were hurt" said Kodichi. "Ohh, well don't worry ! Im fine, im a demon after all...well, half of one" said serenity. Kodichi rested his head on serenity's shoulder. Serenity hesitated a bit. "Ah what the heck" thought serenity. Serenity rested her head on Kodichi's head a bit and her tail wrapped around him. "I guess I really do like this human" thought serenity as she closed her eyes, letting the sun warm her and Kodichi.
