Miyuyasha chapter 2

The full moon rose above the sleeping village as a dark shadow of a figure turned his face away. He wrapped the cloak around him further, the wind whipping about, chilling him to the bone. Something on his face caught the light, and he hastily turned away, but not before the light was seen. A night watchman gasped in horror- the light that reflected off the stranger's face was not soft as moonlight on skin, but hard like moonlight on bone. At the sound, the figure turned towards the watchpost he had counted as abandoned. He took a few steps towards the watchtower, his feet leaving three-pronged footprints in the snow as his eyes glowed red in the dark. A splash of crimson blood colored the dark landscape as a scream was heard for an instant, then rapidly stifled. The puddle of blood on the snow was quickly covered, until not a trace remained, just a peaceful night and a sleeping village.

Kagome hummed as Miyu taught her to braid her hair. Miyu, usually somber, couldn't help but smile at the girl's vivacity and happiness. So like… her, she thought to herself, refusing to think the name. She could not help but compare the two girls in her mind: the one with her short light-brown hair and large eyes, holding her brother's dagger and sweetly saying "please die, for me", the other with her longer black hair and sweet smile, containing within her pinkie toe more spunk than the first had ever had. Yet still, there was something in her, something almost fragile… something like Chisato had had before the girl had… hatched.

Kagome smiled, thanking Miyu and turning to face her. This girl was strange, like nobody she'd ever met before. She certainly had no shards of the shikon jewel, nor seemed even to want any. But those golden eyes… That couldn't have been a mistake, could it? She didn't look, talk, or act like a demon. As far as Kagome could tell, she seemed entirely human. But those eyes…. And what had happened after…. She kissed him. That had to be it. I can't have seen what I think I saw. I didn't see a thing, so why would I think that placing her lips to his neck was anything but a kiss? Perhaps she nibbled him a bit. Perhaps she was being kinky. I'm sure that's it…

Sango polished her boomerang, watching the two warily. Kagome seems to like her… I've never seen her kind before. There are stories of vampires, and she fits them all- that pale deathly complexion, those color-changing eyes, and I know I saw her drink from her boyfriend there. But yet here she is, sitting in broad daylight, braiding Kagome's hair. I'll speak to Inuyasha about this first chance I get. Heh… I'm sure he knows all about dead girls who seem alive. This thought struck her as so funny she laughed aloud, causing Kagome to look up startled and Miyu to narrow her eyes a bit. She smiles, indicating Kiara (who had just pounced a bug for the 15 thousandth time that day) and shrugging. I'd better be more careful. She could drain me in my sleep if I don't watch it.

Very short update. But I'm working on it. See? I'm not dead after all.
