Chapter 1- A Long Lived Grudge

100 years later…

"Thank you so much for letting us sleep in your village for the night!" A young miko said as the young girl that offered the odd group a place to stay re-entered the room. She gave a smile and nodded.

"A quiet one, isn't she?" The monk curiously spoke from the back of the room, where he had just finished his praying. The leader of the group, a hard-headed hanyou, rolled his eyes.

"I thought you liked the flirty ones." InuYasha said unemotionally as he examined the sheath that his precious demon sword was held in.

"Yes, but the quiet ones are even cuter!" Miroku excitedly point out, but he felt a raging tension in room and he glanced over at Sango, a very dangerous demon slayer and who was also his girlfriend… sort of.

Kagome, the young miko, sighed as Sango began pounding Miroku with her over sized boomerang, Hiraikotsu. The usual scenarios that happened in their group of demons and humans.

"Sango! I didn't mean it like that!" The monk pleaded as Sango lifted her weapon for another strike.

"What else could you mean, Miroku?!" The slayer demanded, glaring down at the victim of her rage. Miroku swallowed hard and pondered for a moment, but when he opened his mouth to speak, Sango began hitting him again.

"You insensitive, two-timing, groping JERK!!!!" The young girl, who went by the name of Shina, heard the slayer scream just as she left the room where the guests were to sleep. She giggled at the thought of the monk liking her, but the slayer seemed very terrifying and she did not want to get involved in that.

Shina stretched out her arms and wondered away from her village and into the forest, hoping she could find the secret spring she had found earlier in the summer. She crawled over a tree branch, but tripped on an unfamiliar branch and stumbled down a low sloped hill. She moaned slightly in pain and opened her eyes to find the beautiful spring which once engulfed her mind and had once again.

A cheery smile spread across her face as she untied her light pink kimono. The silk slithered off her body and onto the moist, green ground. A rustle in the bushes had her bring her kimono right back onto her shoulders though. She peered around her shoulder and saw the bushes were silent, as was everything else in her secret place. Shina glanced back to the surface of the spring and saw that the full moon's reflection didn't even stir the waters.

"H-Hello…?" Shina whispered into the forests surrounding her. The silence sent shivers up and down her spine. Shina quickly tied her obi and began to sprint out of the forest. Rustling followed behind her, getting closer with every step she took. The second Shina glanced back, the bushes ceased movement and then her body crashed into something hard.

The young girl rubbed her head and slowly gazed up at the figure, who stood above her with a shimmering red smile. Her eyes widened and she screamed, so shrill it could be heard from miles away. The dark shadow swiftly bent down beside her and slammed his pale hand against her annoying mouth.

His smile chilled her to the very core as he seemed amused with her constant struggling, but he was too strong. The shadow lifted her up by her mouth and kept her body close as he bolted further into the darker parts of the forest.

Once they had reached the center of the forest, the figure threw Shina's limp body against a trunk of a tree and he bent down in front of the frightened female.

"So you're the one." He said, in a pleasant tone.

"What do you mean?!" Shina demanded in a raspy voice, as she back further against the tree trunk.

"Your great great grandfather was responsibly for my death." The creature spat, disgusted with even mentioning the subject.

"You're… Bankotsu…?"

Bankotsu laughed. "They still talk about me, huh? I must've made a pretty good scar in your little community."

"How have you returned?! My great great grandfather burned you!" Shina spat, feeling this sudden rush of bravery.

Bankotsu rolled his blood colored eyes. "I put a curse on your village the moment before I burned into oblivion. And now I have returned from the dead after a hundred years on the full moon. And it's been along time since I've had some fresh… blood."

Shina's eyes widened and she tried to scamper away, but Bankotsu grabbed her shoulders and slammed them against the tree. He forced his lips onto her rose colored ones.

She wasn't able to free herself from his deadly grasp on her shoulders and pain shot through her lips as his fangs sliced them up. Bankotsu smirked against her lips and released one hand from her shoulder and began to untie her obi. Shina ripped her lips away from him and slapped his hand away. Bankotsu let out a low growl from his throat and he smashed her body against the ground.

"You're a very troublesome girl." He snarled and he lunged at her lips again and then his tongue traveled down to her neck. Bankotsu tasted her neck and the sensation that had been gone for one hundred years was returning to his body.

"LET ME G-" Bankotsu jabbed his fangs into her neck and her struggling and cries ceased. He licked the remaining blood that spilled from her neck and then stood, admiring his victim.

"Now my little precious, since your body will be found by the morning, it will bring that troublesome group, who have invaded my village, here and I will be able to be rid of them…"

Duh Duhhh Duhhhhhh...

Well, that would be chapter 1, so please R&R!
