Chapter 1: First Glance
One day Kohaku was walking beside a beautiful crystal clear lake when he heard
someone crying. The crying seemed to have come from behind a bush on the west side of
the lake. So, Kohaku, being the nice young man that he was, went to see what was
wrong. When Kohaku pulled back the bushes, he saw a beautiful young girl whom was
about his age crying.
"Excuse me, are you alright? I heard you crying over there on the other side of the
lake and thought to come see what the matter was. My name is Kohaku. What is your
name," asked Kohaku kindly to the girl? Then, the girl looked up at Kohaku to reveal a
long gash on the side of her face that ran from her eyebrow to her neck and said in a weak
voice, "My name is Aka Sakura, but everyone calls me Sakura. I was attacked by my herd
because I'm a half-breed. My mother tried to protect me from their attacks, but they
killed her and then ran me from my home."
"What do you mean by half-breed," asked
Kohaku kindly to Aka Sakura? "I am half unicorn demon and half Pegasus demon, so
they treat me like crud. My mother said that I have a brother that is half unicorn and half
dog demon and they respect him. His name is Sesshomaru. My mother told me that if
anything happens to her and I am all alone to find Sesshomaru and give him this locket,
and I will have shelter from the unicorn and Pegasus herds until I am grown. Why am I
crying you asked. I am crying because I cannot find this Sesshomaru anywhere, and I
have been poisoned by the unicorn demon tribe and I am alone," cried Sakura."Why don't you come
with me? I'm heading to a nearby village, and maybe they have something for the poison that you
were poisoned with. Also we can get your face looked at," said Kohaku in a kind voice.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru, followed by Rin and Jaken, stopped near the same village that
Aka Sakura and Kohaku were heading to. As they rested, Jaken scorned Rin for even thinking
that his Lord Sesshomaru would even consider her as his mate. Just then, Sesshomaru heard
voices coming closer through the forest and told Jaken to shut up. "As soon as we get to the
village you will be fine. So, there is not reason to worry Sakura. We will get there even
if I have to carry you there," said a voice that Sesshomaru realized belonged to Kohaku, Naraku's
brat. "Oh, Kohaku I don't know. I just feel so weak. Why did my tribe run me off like that?
If my older brother Sesshomaru was there, I bet they would not have ran me off and killed my
mother Kashana," said a second voice weakly to Kohaku.
Kashana...Kashana...Kashana. Thought Lord Sesshomaru to himself silently. Why does
that name sound so familiar. Where have I heard it before? Then, Sesshomaru thinks back before
his mother died from an deadly sickness.
"Inutashiou, be careful my love. Many demon have gathered on the east side of the castle, hoping
to take your place my lord," said a female demon's voice. In Sesshomaru's head as he saw her
walk torwards his father with a tiny baby in her arms. This woman is my mother thought Sesshomaru,
and that baby is me, he thought with small smile on his face. "Kashana, you and little Sesshomaru
are to remain in the castle until the battle is over. Do you understand? I don't want Sesshomaru
hurt in the battle," said Inutashiou to Kashana in a very serious voice.
That's where I have heard that name before. That's the name of my mother. Thought
Sesshomaru to himself, but then a high pitched scream broke his strain of thought. The scream
had come from the girl that Kohaku had been helping to the village. Apperantly, Naraku had
told Kohaku to attack the young girl, and she had screamed.
Note:I hope this is getting good.
