Journey for Destiny

Chapter 2: Betrayal

The next morning Destiny returned to the mountain of the wolf pack to find e

everyone in the pack slaughtered. But she could not find Roki's or Koga's body. She

knew Roki had killed everyone, but where was Koga? Was he still alive? It's now 10

years since then and she is 15 years old. Her clothes are more like rags but that is all

she has. She is 5'5 and 115 lbs. She hasn't had much contact with other people since

her parents' death. She has grown beautiful with age and has held on to the hope

that Koga is still alive..

Destiny walks past the maple trees that are so familiar. The usual sound of

water clashing from the waterfall tells her she's home. She begins to undress and

jumps into the lake. She swims to the surface and rests her head on a nearby rock. As

she begins to relax, she hears a twig snap and her ear twitches in the direction of the

noise.

"Who's there?" She asks in a stern voice.

A man walks out from behind a bush and looks to be in his early 20s.

"Hmm, I've noticed that you have been spying on me for the last couple days around

this same time." Destiny informed him.

"Ah yes. Your ears are quite accurate then." The young man tells her. He walks closer to her and says, "I don't usually see a demon as lovely as yourself

maiden. Your nature is quite different from others as well. Yesterday I saw you help a

lost child find her way back home."

"And you are not afraid?" Destiny asked him.

"As I explained, your nature is quite different from other demons." He answered with a smirk.

Destiny was not sure what the man wanted but she didn't like the fact that he was

now so close to her. But this man was different. She could sense he was strong and

more like a.demon.

"Man, can you tell me? Are you human or demon?" She asked suspiciously.

"Why I am not anything more than a human." He answered with a smirk.

"Then tell me," she began. "Why you smell so familiar and so much like a demon!?"

"He he he," The man laughed. "I guess I wasn't too good at disguising myself. Hello

again Destiny."

Destiny swam backwards to the other side of the lake where she kept a spare set of

clothes behind a giant rock. She dressed behind the algae-covered rock and walked

over to the man. She squinted her eyes.

"Who are you?!" She asked with confusion.

"Oh I'm sorry, I had heard about a young hanyou girl who lost her friends and family. Someone put Roki up to killing your father." He said casually.

"Really? Please tell me who it was that was responsible for the death of my village

and pack. Also, tell me where Roki is. I will have revenge."

"Oh yes, but Roki is dead. You see, there was someone who threatened Roki's life. His

name is Inuyasha. He told Roki he wanted your father's land and to kill your father,

mother, and you. But then he killed Roki as well."

"This Inuyasha person makes me sick! Where is he?" Destiny asked in rage. "But

first, what is your name and how do I know you're not betraying me?"

"I was good friends with your father and Roki. Call me Naraku."
