The water slowly encircled the half demon blood. It was truly as if an element had been waiting for life, a soul, anything which it could consume to feel alive. It's true the elements are powerful. They make up the forests, the earth... the entire universe. Water of course was seen as the purest element of them all. It washed even the dirtiest of sinners clean.

But, they say the purest are the weakest. The more pure you are the more easily you can become tainted. It was like the jewel shards. They are pure by nature but, when put into the hands of defiled and corrupted beings they become tainted.

Somehow, Inuyasha was able to grasp this concept surprisingly enough. He knew that this element was trying to take the souls of as many as possible to have a soul itself. The water wanted a body…or bodies to become real. So it was feeding off of the souls of others. And Inuyasha had unknowingly just fed the "beast" demon blood.

All of the drops of red water that had covered the land started to come together and join in a slowly growing puddle at Inuyasha's feet. This "thing" was forming a body right next to Inuyasha. And since the elements give life and are life, there was no doubt that it would have a tremendous amount of power. Whatever it was.

Miroku suddenly spoke. "We must leave now! I can feel the darkness of this aura already and it's not even completely formed. If we don't leave now this thing will not only destroy us but, this entire forest as well."

Inuyasha growled from deep within his throat. "It's too late. I'm going to fight it."

Miroku pleaded with him. "Please Inuyasha I would rather have a strategy if we are going to fight this thing at least then we will have a chance to survive." Miroku placed a hand on Inuyasha's tense shoulder. "Lady Kagome would want you to survive."

Inuyasha's shoulder suddenly relaxed under Miroku's hand. "Fine! But you better have a plan Miroku."

As the group started to retreat which is rare for them Miroku said something under his breath. "I think I do have a plan."

The puddle had grown more into a lake of red water now. Slowly the water was rising upward toward the sky and molding itself into the shape of a human body. The red liquid changed quickly to flesh. The water was now a being. In fact it had formed into a beautiful young girl of about 17. Her hair was a silky black color that flowed in luscious curls down to her mid-back. Her eyes were a piercing whitish-light blue color that showed no emotion. Red lips stood out elegantly next to her demon pale skin.

The newly born girl stood alone and naked in the middle of the death-scarred village. She looked at her hands in disbelief. And whispered in a soft fresh voice. "…life…"

Comments: happy people! There you go now you know….wow did I just rhyme there?...creepy. Well, more fun with the naked newly born water element chick thingy later.
