Author's Note:
Okay. I have received numerous questions about this story. I will now attempt to answer as many of them as I can. Thanks to all of those who reviewed and emailed me. I couldn't write without you. This chapter will be Rated R for excessive cussing and potty mouthed people.
What does Ametsuchi mean?
Ametsuchi is Japanese for "Heaven and Earth." I hope this clears up the confusion.
How did you come up with this story idea?
The story is actually a runoff of one that my friends, Amber and Cassie, and me were working on back a few months ago. The original is a manga series that I personally wrote the script for, and Amber is in the process of drawing right now.
Will there be anymore original characters?
As of right now, No. But in a later chapter, a character will appear that will help guide the girls. And a little hint, the legend will be proven wrong in a later chapter when the forth is introduced. I guess you kind of figured out who the other three are.
Where did Kayura come from and is she a character based off of Kagura?
The name was a runoff of the name Kagura, but the demoness in the story is actually based off an internet friend of mine. Kayura isn't a wind demon. She is a cat demon. Neko translates to mean "cat" by the way for those of you who didn't know.
Are all characters that you make in the story real people?
Kayura is a made up character based off of a friend. Leann, Cassie, and Amber are real people. The others are not. They were developed and came from my own mind. So don't use any of my characters without my permission.
Will there be any lemon/lime content in your story?
Nope, no lemons here. Go to Wal-Mart and buy a romance novel if you want that. There may be a little out of character content and some fluffy goodness, but that's about it. The only way one of my stories will be rated R is if it has extra violent content not meant to be seen by young eyes.
Why do you have Sesshoumaru being nice to a "lowly human"?
I don't think the characters can be classified as "lowly humans" anymore.
What is your favorite color?
What in the world does that have to do with this story? But if you must know, my favorite color is lavender.
Who will be the fourth elemental youkai?
That is something that you will have to wait on and watch for. He/She will show up somewhere soon.
What's taking you so long in updating?
I get writer's block real easy. And I am on my way to college.
Will there be any other elemental youkai that show up?
In real life there are six elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit, and Shadow. The readers already know who earth, water, and fire are. Air will show up later in the story. When the four cardinal elements are together, Spirit and Shadow are created. Spirit is the good of the two. Spirit is given to a human body that has a pure soul and is worthy to take the Spirit. If the carrier is unworthy or unpure, it is killed. Shadow is the evil of the two. It can't take over a human body, unless the human body lets it. And when it enters the body, it gives that carrier immense power and turns it evil as well.
Leann sat near the window in her room. A week had passed and still she had not been set free. She began to miss her new friends, and most definitely her old friends. Her mind also went to her new job. Surely they would wonder where she was.
"I need to get back to my time," she said more to herself than anyone in particular.
"What is it that you said mistress?" said someone at the door.
Leann whirled around quickly with a slight blush gracing her whole face. She saw Kayura and instantly calmed down.
"Are you alright?" asked Kayura.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just missing my friends," said Leann.
"Oh. What is it that you said earlier, mistress?" asked Kayura curiously.
Leann opened her mouth and instantly closed it. She did not know how to explain to Kayura that she was not from this time, but from the future. She sat down on the bed and patted the spot not far from her.
"Sit down. This will take a long time to explain," said Leann.
Kayura sat next to Leann and waited for her to spin her wild tale.
"Well, to put it simply and blunt. I'm from the future. I'm not from here," said Leann.
Kayura looked at her skeptically. Leann lowered her head to keep from seeing Kayura's untrustfulness in her eyes.
"I am telling the truth here. I am from a place in the future called the United States of America. I'm from a state called Mississippi," said Leann.
"Mis-siss-ip-pi?" said Kayura slowly.
"Yes. Mississippi," said Leann.
Kayura's ears pricked up to a noise that could be heard outside. Leann noticed her change, and looked at her. Kayura got up and went to one of the windows. This particular window looked over the Northern Gate and Kayura saw a small commotion at the gate between the guards and a young girl.
"Stay here Lady Leann, I must go outside," said Kayura.
Leann watched as Kayura jumped out of the window and landed gracefully on the ground twenty feet below. Kayura looked up at Leann and waved a quick goodbye before leaving in a fast blur towards the Northern Gate. She opened up the very ornate and very heavy gate, and closed it back behind her.
"Get out of the fucking way before you lose your family jewels," screamed a girl.
Kayura looked to see a young girl arguing with one of the guards. The guard raised his hand to slap the girl, and Kayura grabbed it in a flash.
"If you hit her, I will personally see you killed," said Kayura angrily.
The guard looked down at Kayura and dropped his hand. He growled deep in his throat and went back to his post.
"I know you. Who are you?" demanded the girl to Kayura.
Kayura looked the girl up and down. Her mind registered that it was one of the girls that she had fought more than a week ago.
"I know you. You are the stupid bitch who stole my friend," the girl yelled.
"Your friend is here and is safe, but you cannot see her right now," said Kayura flatly.
"Why not?" said the girl.
"She is not allowed to see anyone," said Kayura.
"I don't fucking give a damned to hell. I'm going to see my sister," said the girl.
The girl walked towards Kayura. Kayura walked towards and went to intercept her. The girl moved to one side just as Kayura walked towards her. Kayura's arms went up and the girl reversed her direction, going the other way.
---Back in Leann's room---
Leann looked through her window at the exchange between Kayura and the unknown girl. She wished she could hear what they were saying. She saw the girl move towards Kayura and do a fake turn.
'That's Amber!' she thought happily as she recognized that as one of Amber's signature moves.
Leann ran from her room, and down the nearest staircase. She crossed the large entry hall and out the door she flew. Leann met Amber halfway down the big stone steps that graced the front of the huge castle. They fell down onto the step in a fit of giggles and hugs.
"What are you doing here?" asked Leann happily.
"I came to rescue you, you dumbass," said Amber.
Leann got up, and began to dust her pants and shirt off. She offered a hand to Amber and helped her up from the step.
"I'm fine," said Leann.
"Are you sure?" asked Amber worriedly.
"Yeah," said Leann.
"You aren't hurt or anything? Because if they did, I will personally kick their ass. And please say they hurt you, because I seriously want to kick some ass right now," said Amber.
Kayura landed behind Leann at that instant, and began to glare at Amber surreptiously. Amber raised an eyebrow at the slight growl that was issued from Kayura.
"Kayura, don't worry. This is my friend Amber. She's safe," said Leann.
She grabbed Amber's hand, and ran back into the castle to show her around. Kayura followed behind at a leisurely pace. She kept the two girls in plain sight, so she could protect them if need be.
Kayura heard a bell tone so low that only a youkai could hear it. With this bell tone she knew she was needed elsewhere in the castle. Kayura changed her direction and walked back towards the front of the huge castle.
She knocked on the door from which the bell was tolling from.
"Enter," someone called from within.
Kayura opened the door and stepped in. She closed it behind her and turned to face Sesshoumaru.
"My lord," she said bowing low.
She came up from her bow and looked at her master expectantly.
"Why is that other human here? I expressly ordered you to forbid anyone to have passage within the palace walls, especially anyone from my half brother's little group," said Sesshoumaru.
"I'm sorry my lord. The Lady Leann had seen her before I could stop her," said Kayura.
"If she is here, then the others will soon follow. Get her out of here before they show up," said Sesshoumaru.
---Back to Leann---
"Where are the others at?" asked Leann.
"I actually don't know. I came after you myself," said Amber.
Leann looked at Amber astonished. Her mouth moved, but no words formed.
"What? How? You could have been killed," said Leann.
"Don't worry. I only had one run-in and that ended quickly enough," said Amber.
They walked a little further into the gardens and Leann sat down onto the plush grass. Amber sat down beside her and decided to lay out.
"Leann, we have to get you out of here," said Amber.
"Why?" said Leann looking confused.
Amber looked at her awestruck.
"What the hell? Do you want the damn demons here to suck you?" said Amber.
"Suck me, what the hell? Huh?" Leann said.
"Demons kill a person and suck out their energies. So do you want a fucking demon to suck your fucking body? That does sound very interes.....What the hell! No...No...Dirty thoughts, get out of head," said Amber.
She started whacking away at her head trying to get the thoughts out. Leann began laughing and grabbed Amber's arm before she could cause herself any damage.
"Amber, Amber. Stop hitting yourself. I'm alive right now, ain't I? If a demon were to suck out my energy, wouldn't I be dead by now?" said Leann.
"They are only trying to figure out how we got this energy to begin with. And when they figure that out, say adios body and hello Heaven, or in my case Hell," said Amber.
"Yeah, whatever," said Leann.
She rolled her eyes, and then she just stopped. Her eyes got big, and fear could be seen in the blue depths.
"What?" said Amber.
"Uh...Uh...Uh..." said Leann.
She couldn't speak and instead pointed behind Amber's head. Amber turned around quickly, and her nose met the lower extremities of one very tall demon. Her mouth dropped and she looked up into the amber eyes of one very pissed inu youkai.
"Well, this is something new and definitely attractive," Amber said.
"What are you doing here?" said the demon disdainfully.
The demon looked over at Leann. At just the right moment, she moved to cover her mouth, and was unsucessful at stopping a gut wrenching belch. Fire and smoke came out of her mouth and burnt the side of Amber's long hair near her neck and the force of it hit the bottom of the demon's haori burning it to a crisp.
"Woohoo! Killer dragon breath. Tight. And gracias, I needed the little trim," said Amber.
"Leann, my dear. She must go," said the demon.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, huh?" said Leann.
She gaped wide-eyed with her mouth open.
"Damn, he's fine," said Amber under her breath.
Sesshoumaru turned his golden amber eyes on Amber and looked at her full on.
"Leave you incompetent half-breed," he said.
Amber stood up slowly, and looked straight up at him. She put her hands on her hips and leaned to the side.
"What? What?! You got a problem?" said Amber with an attitude and ghetto accent.
Leann giggled in the background.
"I said leave or this will be your last day to see the sun set," said Sesshoumaru.
"Excuse me. You got a problem? You got a problem? If you ain't got a problem, we can make it a problem," said Amber.
Sesshoumaru just looked at her without moving. A hint of red was beginning to cloud his usual amber gold color.
"I warned you, now leave," he said angrily.
"Oh my God! He just warned me, Lil. Like, he just warned me. He just warned me. Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, I'm so scared," said Amber.
"You must die," he said.
Sesshoumaru grabbed towards his side and pulled out his poison whip. It flared out causing Amber to jump back quickly.
"Ooh kinky! Now this is getting interesting," she said.
Amber's eyebrow raised up slightly, and she gave a half way evil grin. She rubbed her fingertips together and water started dripping from the.
"Now watch this," said Amber.
She flicked her fingers and a gush of water ran from her fingers straight for Sesshoumaru's face. It hit him full on, knocking him back a few steps.
"Cool down your hot temper. You've been a bad doggie. Mommy needs to teach you a lesson," said Amber.
Sesshoumaru whipped his silver hair out of his face and gave a gut wrenching and eardrum busting roar. He began to lose control over his youkai side, but was able to reign in himself from that side of him taking over.
Leann finally got her wits about her, and ran in front of Amber.
"Sesshoumaru, stop!" she yelled.
Sesshoumaru looked at her with his eyes full of hate, and began to rush at her to knock her out of the way. Leann screamed when he got too near, and a red barrier came around both her and Amber, and knocking Sesshoumaru ten feet into the air. He flew back and flipped to stop the fall. He hit the ground in a graceful fashion.
Leann let out another scream and burst into flames. Amber backed far enough away so she wouldn't get burned. Leann's screams didn't lessen and the ground within six feet of her began to shake. Lava flowed from the cracks in the ground from the shaking, and the lava enveloped Leann. The lava receded and the fire burned out leaving nothing but a charred body. Leann's body fell to the ground, and Amber ran to her. A red barrier came up around Leann keeping Amber from getting too near. Leann's charred body began to levitate in the air.
The ashes fell away, and Amber was shocked at what she saw. Leann's hair had grown to the bottom of her back and had turned an iridescent firey red with numerous dark blue streaks running through it. Her skin had turned a very pale, almost white color. Colorless nails also covered her hands. Fangs graced in her mouth where canines once resided. Leann's body turned over, and Sesshoumaru and Amber looked on as black wings began to sprout from between her shoulder blades. They grew the tips of her feet, and blood red feathers intermingled with the black feathers at the bottom. The wings looked like they had been dipped in blood. Leann's body was the same length, but it was more formed and muscular.
Leann's body turned around, and she let out another blood curdling scream. She fell hard to the ground in a graceless heap.
"Ow! Amber, why did you have to let me fall?" she yelled.
"I couldn't get to you. You wouldn't let me," said Amber defensively.
"You could have at least been there to catch me," Leann said softly
Leann got up slowly, and began to check herself for scratches. Numerous seconds later, another scream could be heard throughout the castle. Leann used her hands to cover herself and bent back down to the ground to cover herself even more. She felt something moving on her back and wrapped around from right below her neck to her mid thighs. Wind hit the bare spot on her mid back and Leann shivered.
"Could someone please get me some clothes?" she yelled embarrassingly.
She looked over at Sesshoumaru and saw him with an amused look on his face. One silver eyebrow was raised making him look like he was almost smiling.
"Damn, you fine when you smiling, Sesshoumaru," said Leann.
She covered her mouth and turned the other way.
"No joke," said Amber.
Kayura came running from the depths of the castle with an old fashioned dressing robe that was extra big to fit around Leann's new appendages. She draped over the tops of her wings and pulled it around to come right below Leann's collarbone. Kayura pulled the sash tight, and tied into a tight knot. The wings popped the tight material loose and sprouted through the new holes. The dressing robe fell to its new position and Leann sighed. Her cheeks still flamed red, and she turned her eyes onto Sesshoumaru.
"Lord Sesshoumaru. I am very grateful for your hospitality, but I reall must go. My friends need me," said Leann.
"You cannot leave," he said.
His eyes bore into Leann's eyes.
"And why not?" she said lowering her eyes to mere slits.
"It is very dangerous to travel in the forest in the dark. You are new to your powers, and cannot use them to save yourself. Stay for the night, and I will take you to your friends in the morning," said Sesshoumaru.
"True," said Leann.
With a flair of his swords, he turned and walked gracefully back towards the castle.
"Come. I will show you to your rooms," said Kayura.
She turned and started walking.
"Rooms?" said Amber.
Kayura stopped and turned her head to look at Amber.
"Yes, you have a room and Lady Leann has a room," she said.
"Is it okay if we can put an extra bed in my room, so Amber and me can share?" Leann asked
"I do not think that will be wise," said Kayura.
"And why?" asked Amber.
"It is not proper for two ladies to share a room. It would give a bad impression," said Kayura.
"What? You want to sleep in there too?" said Amber sarcastically.
Kayura lowered her eyelids and emitted a growl.
"Kayura, calm down. Amber, shut up. Kayura, could Amber please share my room? We do it all the time in our era," said Leann.
"Is that considered proper in your era?" asked Kayura curiously.
"Yes, it is called a sleepover," said Leann.
"A sleepover?" asked Kayura unfamiliar with the term.
"All of my friends come over to my house all of the time and spend the night," said Leann.
"I will see to having an extra bed put into your room for the night," said Kayura.
