Chapter 3... Kotoyo..

Kotoyo, is a special, strong powerful, clever demon, but a bit mouthy and stubborn. She's a youkia cerberus demon. She's basically a dog, in true form, but with three head's. She's very strong, and feared. She was abandon by her parent's in a village, and was taken in by one of the villager's. She was abandoned by her parent's because Onigumo had learned of her birth and wanted her to do his evil biding. She was born three year's before InuYasha, and three year's after Sesshomaru. Though, her parent's hid her, she grew up in a village with humans, who had no clue what she was, neither did she. When she was about seventeen year's old, Kotoyo grew to be quite beautiful and breath taking. Kotoyo has a beautiful figure, and beautiful long strawberry red hair that would glow like fire when the sun light touched it. Part of Kotoyo's hair draped down over her right side of her face. She has ice blue demonic eye's. She has claw like nails on her hands, and has a turquoise colored outfit. She has a yellow waist tie around her waist like a belt that draped down her left leg in the shape of a leaf with lime green stripes running up and down it. Her pants were cut at the knee's like shorts and exposed the front of her leg's, and draped down in the back with turquoise shoes to match.

Onigumo had become Naraku by time she was seventeen, and found her hiding place, he had killed her father. Little did she know, she had two half demon sister's Kira and Malita, but we'll get to them later. Naraku came to the village to try to convince her to go along with him.

He went to the village to speak with Kotoyo. Naraku appeared in the baboon suit in the center of the village calling out for Kotoyo. "I demand to see the demon here that goes by the name Kotoyo!" he said.

A lot of the women and children ran to hide when they seen Naraku appear out of no where. Some of the men in the village surrounded Naraku with shovels, hoe's, knives and pitch forks.

One villager was brave enough to talk and said "Get out of here demon, leave our village alone! We have no demon's here."

Naraku forced a smile, the head of his baboon suit covered his face, but reveled his mouth. Naraku evilly laughed and said " I only wish to speak with the demon Kotoyo."

The villager's gasped unable to believe what he said Kotoyo was, another villager got brave and said "What are you talking about, Kotoyo's no demon!"

Kotoyo is very brave and was not in hiding. Kotoyo shoved her way through the crowed and stood in front of Naraku, then leaned back towards a villager and asked in a whisper "What's going on here?"

The villager looked at Kotoyo and whispered "This demon is requesting to speak with you. He claim's your a demon, isn't that funny."

Naraku saw Kotoyo and said "Ahh, Kotoyo daughter of the youkai demon couple Beppin and Supiritt. What a pleasure it is to meet such a rare demon as your self, they were very blessed."

Kotoyo raised one eye brow, and left the other one down looking at Naraku confused and said "I am Kotoyo, but I am no demon!"

Naraku smiled, then laughed and said "Oh, then how do you explain your demonic eye's, marking's and transformation."

Kotoyo thought for a moment, and thought Naraku was nuts and said "Okay, I can see that'll explain the markings, and my eye's but I never transformed, your crazy."

Naraku smiled again and said "Oh so you have not transformed yet? You still don't know how to release the inner demon in you. Come with me and I can teach you. Haven't you ever gotten so angry that your eye's pulse a different color ? Have you had a feeling to release something but cant explain what it is? You fight the urge to release what you are, and that stop's you from transforming. Come and I will show you."

Kotoyo thought some more and did have though's feelings, but did not want to go with him, so she told him " Well I cant just leave! I have a mother here, and I refuse to leave her. Demon or not, I'm not leaving."

Naraku was not happy with her response and said "So stupid, she is not your true mother, Beppin is your birth mother. Beppin abandoned you in front of that women you call your mother's door step."

Kotoyo was outraged with what he said and did not believe it and shouted "You lie!"

A villager behind Kotoyo taped her on the shoulder and said "Uh, Kotoyo, he's right. Long ago Koumyou did find you in a basket on her door step with a note. She took you in and raised you as her own. We had no idea that you were a demon, that would explain why you look a bit different then a normal person."

Kotoyo calmed down her anger, sighed with mixed emotions and asked "Really?"

All the villager's around them back up the story to be true. Kotoyo felt a bit uneasy, and wished she had known sooner.

Naraku smiled and knew what Kotoyo was feeling, then he said " See you don't belong here. You should come with me, I could help you. If you do not come I will be forced to kill you and your villagers."

Kotoyo didn't like Naraku's threat and got very angry and could tell he was pure evil and did not want to do what he requested. Kotoyo gave Naraku a dirty look and said "Cant you take no for an answer! You will do no such thing if I decline, witch I have! I don't need help from the likes of you!"

Naraku got mad, he began to transform into his ugly rejected demon part body, while he was transforming and said "As you wish!"

Kotoyo was out raged, now I said she was very smart. When Naraku told her why she couldn't use her power or transform she put two and two together, and let all hell break loose. This time she did not fight the urge, and wanted to allow the demonic blood course through her veins. Her eye's began to pulse, and Naraku began to attack. Kotoyo dodged Naraku's attacks, but Naraku hit some hut's in the village and killed some people. Kotoyo was very mad, and he eye's continued to pulse.

Naraku hit some more villager's, and hut's then said "It's a shame Kotoyo, you'll never get to meet your parents, because I killed them when they hid you here from me!" Naraku bursted out laughing as if it were funny. Out of no where a huge white ball of light surrounded Kotoyo and lifted her in the air. Naraku stopped laughing and watched, Kotoyo screamed "No! You fool!" from what Naraku said.

Naraku's eye's widened and said "No! Your unleashing the demon in you!"

Naraku knew if she unleashed her demonic blood, her power would come and she would be a hassle if she transformed because of what type of demon she is. Kotoyo landed on the ground and felt incredibly powerful. Kotoyo looked at her hand's while wind surrounded her like a tornado. Little green, blue, and magenta colored balls of light flew into and with the wind around her. The balls one by one entered Kotoyo's body making her body pulse the color they were. Now Kotoyo taped in and released the demon with in her all the power and knowledge she's supposed to have known, came to her.

The wind had stopped, and the ritual was done. It got all silent, then Kotoyo laughed in a very scary tone of voice and said "Be not a fool Naraku, your going to die!"

Naraku attacked Kotoyo and said "I don't think so!" Naraku tried stepping on her with his spider like legs, Kotoyo dodged each time quicker then she has before, then all of a sudden she disappeared. Naraku stopped, and looked all around for her, but couldn't find her. Little did Naraku know Kotoyo had silently re-appeared behind him. Kotoyo said "Hey reject I'm over here! You fool, did you honestly think I, Kotoyo, was that stupid!" Before Naraku could turn, Kotoyo had jumped up, raised her left hand that was glowing magenta, and slashed at Naraku with magenta poison whips that came out of her finger tips. Naraku turned, then Kotoyo disappeared again, then attacked him with her poison claws invisibly. Naraku couldn't tell where Kotoyo was hitting from.

Naraku was outraged and began attacking the air hoping to hit her, and happened to hit Kotoyo down. Kotoyo flew from the impact into some villagers knocking them down, then she got back up.

Naraku laughed and said "Is that it all you got?"

Kotoyo got up, and her eye's pulsed a glowing red, to darker blue then red again. Kotoyo said "You stupidity is not a surprise to me, be not a fool, you will die, you came knowing what I am capable of, fool! Die!" Kotoyo began to transform to her cerberus youkai demon form.

Naraku's body was still not complete, and didn't think she'd figure out how to transform. Naraku began to worry because he knew what type of demon she was, and what special power a cerberus youkai demon had.

Kotoyo grew into a very large, three headed youkai dog demon. Her fur is a fiery strawberry blonde color and is short. Her chest, under belly, under neck, paw tips, under tail, left head's inner ear, center head's draping fur off the ears were all white. Kotoyo's left head eye's were glowing ice blue, her right head eye's were glowing a flame red, and her center head eye's were two different colors, the right eye is flame red, and the left is ice blue. Kotoyo's size towered over Naraku, due to she is a cerberus youkia demon, she is biger then a normal youkia demon.

Naraku's eye's lit up in fear and was un aware of her incredible size difference, and knew he couldn't possibly defeat her. All three of Kotoyo's head's snarled and growled at Naraku, then Kotoyo swatted Naraku with her left paw. Naraku flew from the impact, her paw was so big that she hit him clear into the field that sits beyond the village. Kotoyo jumped over the hut's, over the wall that surrounded the village, and ran for the direction Naraku had landed. The villager's were shocked to see what Kotoyo was, and were scared too.

Naraku got up but before he could come to his senses, Kotoyo spit a ball of lava out of her right head's mouth at Naraku. Naraku tried to dodge it, but got hit in one of his spider legs, and it incinerated from the lava. Kotoyo was about to pounce on Naraku now she was almost to him. Naraku quickly flew up into the sky into the form of a dark cloud and said " Next time you wont be so lucky!"

Kotoyo's three head's looked up at Naraku's cloud and all said " Come back here you coward! Do not think you can escape my grasp!"

Naraku ignored her then dissolved, and disappeared.

Kotoyo snorted her noses at where he vanished from, then calmed down and walked to the village calmly. Kotoyo transformed back to her demonic human form before she entered the village.

Kotoyo entered the village, and noticed the people killed by Naraku and felt bad. All eye's were on her as she walked to her hut. Kotoyo walked inside without a word. Once she got inside she went to Koumyou and asked "How come you didn't tell me I was left on your door step?"

Koumyou didn't know what to say, she felt deeply ashamed and said " I was going to tell you when the time was right."

Kotoyo sighed and said "What happened to my parent's?"

Koumyou went into another room and brought out the basket with the note she found Kotoyo with. Koumyou showed them to Kotoyo and said "This is the basket I found you in, and this is the note your parents left. They also left the necklace you are wearing now."

Kotoyo observed the basket, and read the note. Then Kotoyo felt a bit sad and would like to know her parents. Kotoyo didn't let it bother her for long, Kotoyo started to smile at Koumyou and said " Well, I'm sure my parent's would be proud you took good care of me. Your not my birth mother, but you did raise me so I still consider you as my mom."

Koumyou smiled and hugged Kotoyo. A few minute's later there was a knock at the door.

Koumyou answered the door and a group of angry villager's were standing out side and demanded she and Kotoyo to step out side.

Koumyou and Kotoyo did so, once they were out side one of the villager's said "We decided Kotoyo can no longer stay here! She's a demon and nothing but trouble, we don't want her kind in our village!"

Kotoyo wasn't pleased with what they said and asked "Why? Just because of what I am your just going to kick me out!"

A villager said "Get out of here demon! Demon's are nothing but trouble and evil, we will have no such monster rampaging in our village!"

Kotoyo was mad and Koumyou was sad, but Kotoyo told her "I'l go, I'l try to visit when I can."

Another villager said "You'l do no such thing!"

Kotoyo walked up to the villager with an evil look in her eye and said "Oh, who's going to stop me?"

The villager's gasped in fear, then Kotoyo walked and shoved through them to leave, before she left she turned her head to the side to say "I'l give you monster!" Kotoyo lifted her hand spun around and slashed at the villager's cutting them, but not extremely hurting them. After that she turned and walked off.

During the year's Kotoyo was traveling alone, she came upon village's and was rejected the same way for the same reason. Sadly each time she got rejected she developed a hate for human's, and began destroying them when they declined supply of a place to rest and food. Although, along on her lonely journey she had an encounter. She had a follower even though she didn't know it. Until one day she finished a battle with one demon. Along her journey she had obtained emblazon blade's as weapons, beside's her demonic power she had obtained.

One day, after she had battled that one demon, this creature from over head, flew down to her, "Tu-whoot, tu-whoot, very good, very good, tu-whoot, who may you be? tu-whoot," it asked.

Kotoyo looked at this bird, and said "Who are you? Should I care to know you? Where did you come from?"

The bird was not small, it was as tall it reached to her hip's when it walked.

"Tu-whoot, tu-whoot, I am Toshiro, tu-whoot, Toshiro I am, a owl that is, barn owl to be exact, so true, so true, tu-whoot," Toshiro said, "I've been watching you, tu-whoot, you are very strong, to true, to true, tu-whoot, I'd like to travel with you, a honor it would be, please, please, accept my offer I give to thee."

Kotoyo thought for a moment and folded her arm's, "I don't know, you'd just get in my way," she said.

Toshiro fluttered his wings, and ruffled his feather's feeling offended, "I will not, tu-whoot, i can assure you, to true, to true, please I will not be in your way, tu-whoot," he said.

Kotoyo walked off and said "I don't care, do as you wish. But if you get in my way, I will kill you."

Toshiro flew along with her, "Oh good, oh good, tu-whoot, I will be most faithful to you, to you, tis true, tu-whoot, what might your name be?" he asked.

Kotoyo closed her eye's and sighed, "I am kotoyo," she said.

"Tu-whoot, tu-whoot, what a pretty name, tu-whoot, thank you, thank you, I am so honored to have my offer accepted. It's been lonely being alone, tu-whoot, you looked like you could use some company too, tu-whoot, tu-whoot," he said.

Kotoyo shrugged her shoulder's, "Whatever, just don't get in my way," she said.

"Right, tu-whoot, I promise, to true, to true, I will not get in your way, tu-whoot, tu-whoot," he said.

Kotoyo closed her eye's and smirked, "Good," she said.
