One Kills For Honour, One Kills For Revenge

Chapter 1

In the 16 Century, 500 years ago,

Japan was experiencing an age of provincial war among rival warlords

Every lords were fighting each other furiously,

Until one lord put an end to those battles,

His name was Inutaishou, the Great leader of the West.

The calm had begun,

Until humans declared war to demons after Inutaishou's death,

Now, the world became darker by those fights

Many villages were destroyed without reason

Many innocents were killed for nothing

But one breath again, she had survived,

She had won over the Death,

The only thing she wanted now is revenge

Her name is Rin

And she will take back what they had taken

Life

Both species were scheming to defeat its enemy by any means,

And there were people playing important roles actively behind the scenes.

They are called NINJA,

The assassin in the darkness
She was cooking the dinner when it all began. Everything around her was fine, the birds were singing, the peasants were working, and everything was going alright. Until, all these habitual sounds faded and disappeared. Rin had stopped. This was not a good sign. She ran to the window and she saw them. Evil creatures that haunted every villagers, demons.

That was not fear that invaded her now, but anger. She felt powerless against these superior creatures. She could not fight them, especially that she didn't know how to use a sword or even a bow. Moreover, she knew that it will take more than a simple arrow to stop them. There was simply nothing to do against them and that made her choleric.

The only thing she could do was running, running until the forest where she could hide herself. Could she be able to do it without being viewed? She doubt so, they were too many to not see her. Rin was a thin, fragile and defenceless creature. No, she had no chance, but she was stubborn or maybe a fool.

She took a deep breath and she got out of her house and she ran, ran until she joined the forest. She had made it. She will have clapped her hands and jumped in the air but she tried to stay hidden between the trees. She looked around her. Nothing. She smiled. So, after all, she had been able to do it and these creatures had weaknesses.

Crack

That sound made her shiver. So, one demon saw her. She was finished, she will die. Why she cannot live peaceful? Why the world was in war? She was thinking about so many questions but she was quickly out of her thoughts when she heard a voice. A loud and bass tone of voice.

"Little vermin, where are you? I just want to have some fun, so show yourself, that will made things easier for you and me."

She smirked, if he thought that she was going to surrender like this, he was making a huge mistake. She looked at the ground and she saw a sharpened and small rock. She took it in her right hand and was ready to stab him when he will be near her. She will never surrender, she will fight until her last breath.

"C'mon, stop this little game and surrender."

Crack

"How can we be silent in this wood with all those branches everywhere. I hate trees."

Crack

Her heart was ready to exploded and adrenaline was rushing all over her body. He was making his way to her and she will not miss him, no she had promised it to herself. She will bring this horrible snake youkai with her to her grave. She hated them so much for destroying her own kind. They had no reason to do this to her village. They had always been peaceful and they had respected the youkai, how dare they attacked Rin's village.

Crack

Two more steps and everything will be finished. She will pass away like this ugly demon. He advanced again, she took all her courage in her hands and she stood up quickly and stabbed the demon in his heart. She had succeeded.

"You bitch, do you really think you can kill me?"

Astonishment full filled her eyes. Were they invincible? Did they have weaknesses? The big snake demon caught her by her throat and lifted her in the air. Her feet lost their grip to the earth and air began to miss into her lung. She will now die, she had failed to her own promise. He will be alive again. Then, he released her. She felt to the ground and she took a deep breath.

"What have you done to me wench, you slut!."

She looked at him, he was slowly transforming into rock. His legs were already stuck in the ground and it was making its way throw the top of his head. He yelled so loud that Rin put her hands on her ears to protect herself from this terrible shout. The silence became quickly, he was now a shinning grey statue but he still was ugly.

"We don't see this often, that's quite a power that you have little lady but I'm sorry to say that you will not be able to use it anymore."

Rin had looked to the new demon that had entered in the forest. It was another snake demon but more appealing than the other one. Unfortunately, for him, they were all her enemies. She rose to her feet. She had nothing else to defend herself but she defied him. She looked at him with a death glare and he stopped walking.

"You impress me young mortal. But, like I said, you won't live older than now. Please, reserved a place for me in Heaven"

With this last word, he threw his little and sharpened katana followed by a metal chain and it made his way around Rin's neck. She had never saw it arriving or even view this kind of weapons. He pulled on the chain and Rin fell to the ground and air was missing once again. Now she will die, she was defenceless. He pulled one more time and Rin lost conscious.

The snake demon in his human form threw the end of the chain around a branch from a sakura tree and pull on it to rose Rin into the air. He attached it carefully and smiled sadly to his well-done job.

"You are just another innocent of this war. I'm sorry young lady. You deserved a better death than this one."

With sadness, he looked at her. He was just following his orders. Never he had like the scent of Death, but he had to obey to his lord. And his lord despised humans. He rose his right hand in the air and stood his two first fingers in the air. He was praying for her death.

"Stay in peace for the eternity."

He then left her there without verify if she was really dead. He had accomplished his tasks, they were all exterminated and slaughtered. His long black air flew in the air and the sun was shinning again even if it was a sad day. The sun had never been affect by the act on the World, it always stayed similar, beautiful and calm.

The tall black-haired snake youkai joined the rest of the army and asked where their leader was. One of them said that he was in the other village near by. He walked until the other massacre of humans. He saw his leader. A tall and white-haired youkai. He had pointed ears and two stripes on each cheeks.

"It's done my lord, there is no survivor." The snake youkai said.

"How easy are they killed, how have they managed to survive until now?"

"I really don't know my lord, but I think Kami will not be glad to see this massacre."

"I do not fear Kami like I do not fear Death. Even if he saw this, I have not touched one of these pathetic creatures. You and the army have killed them."

"But this was your command that we were following."

"I think Koji, you are becoming too soft or maybe too religious. But you are the best general, so bring our army to the estate, we will take a break for a while, only to clear up your mind."

"Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama."

"By the way, where is your weapon?"

Koji stayed quiet. It was with the young woman in the wood in the other village. Was she alive again? Can she be save again? Koji wondered. Sesshoumaru said something to him and he stopped thinking.

"I will not repeat myself, answer Koji-daishou."

"I will sent someone to pick it my lord. I lost it."

"You definitively not in a good mood today Koji. Hurry now, I'm leaving to the castle. See you later in my study room."

"Yes my lord."

The tall inu youkai leave the village and disappeared slowly. Koji looked around and sadness could be read on his face. He hated to kill. A soft and warm hand took his right arm.

"You look completely demolish." A female voice said.

"I have a job for you my dear."

"Business already! Oh you are such…"

"Stop it and tojikomeru for a little instant, please my love." Koji sadly asked.

"Well what is it?" she said worried, he was not acting like normally.

"Take care of the young girl I have left her in the wood near the previous village. If she still alive, heal her and train her. I don't want her death, please can you do this for me?"

"Oh Koji-sama, you are too generous and kind. That's why I really appreciate to be your mate. I'll do it, only for you." She teased him.

"You are my favourite hanyou you know."

"And I hope I'm the only one."

Koji smiled to his mate. She was a half-breed, her mother was a snake youkai and his father a mere mortal. But love happen to anyone.

"I love you aijou Koji"

"Me too, oh and train her to be a ninja, she is delicate and thin, she will like it."

"As you wish my dear aruji."

His mate kissed him on both cheeks and she was making her way to the other village.

"Kiwotsukete Kurenai."

"As always! Don't worry Koji-kun." Kurenai said laughing.

"Mmm, kun, always finding little tricky nick name…"

Koji had found his smiled once again and he was giving orders to Sesshoumaru's soldiers like the talent general he was. He was the best and the more loyal demon of Japan with the most tender heart. Why did he become a general anyway? He really does not know!

Kurenai made her way to the forest and she finally saw a girl hung on a tree. She admired the work of her husband and smiled. He was always doing a beautiful job even if this one was dramatic. She carefully takes the end of the chain and she let it go freely. She caught Rin in her arms before she fell to the ground.

She was looking extremely pale and she seems dead. Until she heard her breath again. This girl really wants to live, Kurenai thought. She deposed Rin on the ground with extreme care. Rin opened her eyes.

"You are still alive?" Kurenai asked.

"Maybe no… but I'm not dead!' Rin said angrily.

Was it a good thing to make her ninja, Kurenai thought. After all, she will live only for revenge.
