Chapter 2.
Please review.
Crystal's POV.
Something fiery, but warm and inviting, like the ones from the ancient stories. That's what her dreams felt like. Most of them were reoccurring, but they were never continuous. She'd only had the dream of poisonous fire once every few months, but lately the dreams have been happening very frequently.
At first, she was really frightened but then she noticed that the poisonous fire was comforting. It was not hurting her.
1 night though, a figure was standing in the poisonous fire, it was tall and menacing looking. But it did not approach her.
"Crystal." the figured said.
Fear consumed her body instantly.
"Y-y-y-yes?" Crystal whispered softly, stuttering.
"I'm coming for you." It spoke. "Wait for me."
Torn between the urge start screaming or pinch herself awake, she saw the figure in the fire with her glasses covered eyes, fixing them a little. Trying to see it's face but the fire was too lively and thick.
"Um... who... are you..." she shyly asked.
The flames wavered.
"Crystal, you will soon find out." It replied.
Crystal frowned in confusion, "What do you mean? May I please... see your face?" she asked, looking away shyly.
A deep, cold silence was now in the air, making Crystal a little uncomfortable.
"If you see my face you might die." It said. "It's not worth it."
Her heart started beating rapidly with fear again. Even though she was scared and extremely shy, she still stood her ground, she was curious to see the life form that always visited her dreams.
"If I... die." she slowly looked back at the flames. "It would be... worth it... just to see you." she smiled a little, lightly blushing.
There was a long silence after that, then she looked down disappointed, thinking that he must have left. All of a sudden the fire turned from orange to green, the poison becoming stronger still not affecting her. The figure was no longer behind the flames.
With a heavy heart, she slowly turned around, jumping in surprise when she bumped into someone. She knew it had to be the life form. She started to look up hesitantly, meeting a pair of golden yellow eyes with slit pupils, almost similar to the warm embers of the fire she always sees in her dreams. It was a man or a creature, because he wasn't human.
He had white long hair that almost reached his feet with short bangs. He was frail looking, but she could also that he was a little built and slender young man. He had fair skin with pointy ears. He had a purple crescent moon on his forehead, 2 red stripes on each of his cheeks, magenta stripes on his eyelids. There appeared to be 3 stripes on each of his arms. He was wearing a mostly white but red kimono with black and grey armor, sashes, 2 swords, and also wearing ankle high black boots.
At a sudden movement behind him, she now seems to notice that he is wearing a white fluffy thing on his right shoulder. She gasped in awe and a little bit of fear. Never had she seen such a handsome creature.
Her hands were now together near her chest. "Um... you are." she whispered shyly, looking to the side.
He only smirked, lifting his left arm placing his hand on her forehead, making her furiously blush. Then he gently pushed her so that her body fell backwards.
With a start, she sat up in her bed and grabbed her orange glasses from a nightstand left of her then put them on, looking frantically around the room for the handsome fluffy creature. Realizing the creature was only just in her dream, she calmed down, looking out of her window. Wearing a light blue nightgown with lavender flowers, her really dark red hair which was close to black that reached her ankles that was tied up in a low ponytail.
For some reason, she couldn't explain it, a rather strong urge made her go over to her window, looking around at the Uzumaki clan compound that is in the peaceful and silent Konoha village. It was strange because, she felt a pull in the center of her chest, as if something was calling to her. That's when she saw it, a figure jumping off of a roof of a nearby building, so gracefully she would have thought he was an animal. Before he could touch the ground she was white fluffy thing on him like a puffy cloud.
She stared engrossed as he flew up into the sky, stopping to turn around from what seemed to look at her. Suddenly, she found the feeling in her legs and without a second thought she raced out of her room. Quietly, she made her way down down the steps past her parents room, then out the front door. She looked up into the night sky, frantically searching for him, the beautiful creature that reveal itself to her. She ran to the edge of their yard still looking around and not finding him.
Disappointed, she made her back to the floor, she stopped now surprised to see black boots not too far from where she was standing. Her heart churned in happiness as she slowly looked into the creature's golden yellow eyes. He smirked at her in amusement.
"I believe this is our first meeting that you will remember, as I haven't seen you since you were an infant. I meant to visit you more, but it's been very busy where I'm from."
Crystal, staring shyly but fascinated at him, "Um... are you from... a good place..." she whispered quietly.
He flipped some of his hair from the right side of his face, looking at her confused for a second before he made a emotionless face. "Quite the contrary, human. I'm from the Western side of the Demon World." he said, annoyed.
Crystal stared in rising fear, opening her mouth to say, "Are you... a demon?" she whispered shyly, looking at the floor with her hands together, close to her chest.
He took a step towards her, "A mere demon is such a low creature." he replied, stopping a few inches in front of her.
Crystal stared shyly up at him, unable to move herself away from him. "Then... what are... you..." she whispered, her heart beating rapidly in her chest.
"I am the Lord of the Western side." he replied, bringing his left hand to the right side of her face.
She trembled as he traced his index finger over her cheek bones, pressing his thump against her lips.
"So... these are the lips that have made my kind go insane?" he scorned. "I've seen lips much better than yours. Tell me, how well do you sing?"
Hurt at what he had said, tears welled up in her eyes. "That's... so mean." she sniffled. "Wh-who a-are y-you?" she quietly stuttered.
He removed his hand from her face, still looked emotionless at her, but he was amused at her sudden crying.
"Lord Sesshomaru, Crystal." he replied, calmly.
She sadly looked away from him, "Um... how did you know... my name?"
"A very long story, human. You will soon know everything in due time."
He held up his left hand again when she tried to work up the courage to ask him another question. "Crystal, I'm sure you have many questions to ask me, before you do, ask your parents. Their hiding something from you."
Her heart skipped a beat at the mention of her parents. This demon not only knew her, but her parents as well?
He looked at her in the eyes, she looked away from his gaze, blushing lightly.
"You've changed since the last time I saw you. Are you almost 18 years old?" he asked.
She nodded softly.
He lifted her chin with his left hand, "You are beautiful as they said you would be... Sing for me." he demanded.
She was scared what he might do if she 'no' to him, but she was really shy at everything including singing, her mouth trembled as she opened it. She was going to sing an old lullaby her mother sung to her when she had nightmares or when she was sad.
As Crystal sang, Sesshomaru's hand slipped from her face, and she noticed that the emotionless, in his eyes disappeared in exchange for annoyance. He moved away from her as if she was deadly and his enemy.
"Stop." he said.
She still continued until he cut off her.
"Stop!" he growled.
Terrified at what he did, she stopped singing, looking at him with teary eyes and whimpered.
With a sneer, Sesshomaru pushed off from the ground and into the night sky. He disappeared before she could even blink.
"Did I do something wrong?" she thought.
