Title: Kaishi

Kaishi
prologue
Autumn brought the sweetest of sounds, it filled the air with comforting scents... The teasing of a warm breeze. The wind calling a chant, filling you mind will peaceful images that could lull a baby into a quiet slumber. The true beauty of the fall lies not what you see, but what it does to you other senses.
That is what Inuyasha could sense that no one else could. The hanyou, could smell all the smells of each changing season, detect the smallest noise. How wonderful he felt during the fall, it made his spine tingle. No youkai could be sensed, everyone was at peace... well at least for the time being. His senses were soon to be disturbed once more...
(MEMORY)
"What the hell do you want?" Inuyasha spat
"To give you a message from the land of Kisei" The demon said cooly,
The demon had a white face with black hair that reached the ground, his clothing was enough to send chills up your spine. His Kimono (A.N. SPELL?) Was black and seemed to have vines growing all around, twisting around his tall, skinny figure. Almost as if the vines had a mind of their own, trying to suffocate the demon, his eyes were dark and cold, filled with nothing. In other words, he looked creepy. And the kind you wouldn't trust his as far as you could throw him.
"Kisei?" Inuyasha asked irritated.
"Hai"
"And who is the master of the land of Kisei?" Inuyasha asked impatiently
"Her name is far to great to be heard to likes of you, hanyou." He said monotone
"You Koitsu! You will wish you were dead!" Inuyasha growled, He jumped into the air and unsheathed is Tetseiga (SPELL) And dove for the baka youkai. "DIE" Inuyasha roared.
Whipping out his own sword the demon expertly countered the hanyou's attack. Nearly face to face, the demon smiled and laughed "Ku ku ku ku"" what's the matter? All tongue but no body?" the demon taunted. Inuyasha growled, "humph that's all you seem do" and slashed at the demon, again, again, and again, but the youkai seemed to know every move Inuyasha was about to do. And smiled, indeed the demon was enjoying this. To prove to the hanyou, that he was much more then he'll every be, 'pathetic dirty bloods' the demon thought.
"DIE KOITSU!" Inuyasha lifted his mighty fang above his head, and slashed down at the invading youkai.
"Hmhph" the demon smiled, and lifted his sword to his face, a bright purple glow emerged as the two conflicting enemies touched swords. It sent Inuyasha flying into the Sacred Tree, "uhh" he groaned. The blast only knocked the youkai a few feet, and still stood there. Smiling that same smile.
"What's the matter you filthy hanyou? Thought you could beat me! You are more of a baka than I thought..." The youkai tipped his head to his side, nearing the glaring hanyou.
Inuyasha struggled to stand, the blow had knocked the wind out of him, and he was having a hard time to breathe, let alone think. His mind tossed and turned, he seemed to feel sick. The youkai was nothing but a faint blur. 'Kami...damn him, damn him! I'll rip him to shreds...' Inuyasha thought
"You seem to have some difficulties standing dear hanyou... let me assist you..." laughing wickedly, stretching his arm out and fingers spread towards Inuyasha, A deep, rich purple, energy glow appeared around his hands, the light was too intense for Inuyasha, he was suddenly forced to shield his eyes from the scorching brightness of the glow.
Inuyasha, despite the light, he lifted his dead father's fang over his head, ran to the youkai "wind scar!" he roared furiously
"I thought you would try to attack" the youkai smirked, still holding up his arm, the light on his arm seemed to grow bigger until the youkai chanted something over and over...
In mid-air, Inuyasha froze, literally. His body was still as if time had stopped on him, he was still yelling at the youkai, his mouth open to snarl out the words filled with venom, the fang still above his head. The looks of a furious hanyou, trying to defeat the youkai. But it looked as if were just a photo, capturing a moment of time...
"Ku ku, ku, ku." the youkai chuckled
He flicked his wrist, sending the still-timed hanyou flying threw the air, tearing at the ground with him, the spell was over, for he grunted. He sat up the best he could, using the aid of his father's fang to regain himself to his feet. His face was in a furious snarl, and a fierce growl escaping his lips.
"Da...nm...y...ou..." Inuyashed sputtered
"Inuyasha!" he heard the voice of a familiar miko, she was a long ways away, just enough to hear her.
He had told her to stay put, or if you wanted to go full detail 'stay out of this you clumsy wench, the last thing we need is for you to get involved.' he truthfully wanted to keep her safe, hoping the insult would keep her put. Guess not...
"Fear not Hanyou, what good are you if you are dead? Go to the lands deep into the Kuroi forest, wait for the hardened spirit there, and you will find out what the 'lady of the land of Kisei' wants with you, I will tell you no more" The youkai said to Inuyasha with a glare, Inuyasha just stared, wishing to shed the intruder to pieces...
With that the youkai started to walk off, when he glanced over his shoulder,
"Oh yes, Before I forget, say hello to an old hag, the 'old priestess' for me..." he said victoriously.

:Vampire Youkai
Haunt
The more you wish and cry,
The more you wish you would die,
There aren't many things that can console
These feelings inside you wish you could control
There are too many sorrow feelings ahead
That make you scream at the taunting voices in your head
The haunting in your mind is eating at your spirit
A hand is trying to reach you, but you are too numb to feel it
