Die a Lonely Death
Chapter 2: Encounter in the Woods of Lost Hope
Hello all. Just a little message before I begin. This is the first time that I have actually thought about completing a whole series, and I will do my best to try and keep it interesting, and upbeat, and I'll try to at least get a chapter out a day (that is if I get some good reviews) If YOU like Sesshy-kun, and don't think that he should be with anyone besides you, TOO BAD! Don't flame me for it. So, yeah. : / Also, if some of you are having trouble pronouncing the main character's name, it's pronounced: Kaht-Su-Yo-U Yeah, I spelled it funky, but so what? Put an extra 'ah' sound on the Kaht. Things will be clearer towards the middle of the story. ; ) So, Read and Review!
Rays of sunlight shown the tall canopy of trees as Katsuyou walked along a grassy forest path. She cam to a small river, and while looking if the coast was clear, she decided to bathe there. Cool water rushed down her back as she heard a faint twig snap. "After all of these years, it really must be you." Katsuyou said, not really looking at anyone, but her own reflection. From what she could see, a figure emerged from the forest a cold stare plastered on his face. "To what do I owe this meeting to Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked, turning her head slightly so she can look at the man. "You are supposed to be dead…" he mumbled coldly. "Well, I guess you don't dispose of your trash properly." She bit back bitterly, standing up and turning to the side so she could look at him more clearly. "Why are you here?" he then asked after the slight moment of silence. Katsuyou scoffed. "I am a full grown demon. I can go what ever I please and do as I wish. If have been living on this cursed earth for more than you can imagine, so once you get my age, then come talk to my like you're my father." She said, looking up to the amber eyed man with an icy blue stare, "Look." She said, lifting her head and looking to the skies. "This place still holds that same nostalgic feel to it, after so many years." Katsuyou said without warning. Before long, she walked back to the bank of the river, and put back on her main robes. "What do you speak of woman?" Sesshomaru asked through clenched teeth. Katsuyou turned her back to him, looking down into the crystal clear water. "This is the exact same forest, where we first met all those years ago…"
A small child, about 50 years old (demon years of course) was wondering through the forest, a blank look in his eyes. He was taking his usual morning walk outside of his father's large estates when he heard small splashing noises, and he decided to follow them. He walked aimlessly into the forest, unknown in which paths he took, which turns he made, until he came across a small river. A girl, in her middle teens, was sitting on a large bolder that was placed in the middle of the large spring. "Watashi wa… itt to ni naru…" the girl sang softly, kicking her feet slightly to the beat of the song she just finished. But as the boy got a closer look at the girl, not only did she not have proper clothing on, but she also had no legs, no feet, just a long elegant fin where those essentials where supposed to be. He bit back a gasp as she turned to look at him, a smile eased upon her beautiful features. Light silvery hair flowed down her back and she had piercing icy blue eyes. The most mesmerizing thing that boy had ever seen in his young life. She giggled at him, before bringing a dainty finger to her lips, before disappearing, the water rippled in her wake. The boy stopped himself from falling back, before he walked up to the rivers bank. 'What a strange woman…'
"Come on my lord. I thought you were a way better swordsman than this." A young girl taunted, fending off a blade's attack with her own twin blades. Both of her blades where lined with blue gems and they gave a powerful water attack whenever she swung them. The young man gritted his teeth before sending another attack towards the strange girl. She danced away from the attack, dodging it easily before sending another, more powerful attack towards him. "Tsk tsk. Someone has been slacking on their training." She said playfully before jumping back when he swung his sword again. "Quit jumping around!" he snarled. In a flash, she disappeared right before his eyes. "Too fast for ya?" she whispered into his ear, one of her blades to his throat, the other's point to his back. She liked the shell of his pointed ear. "Had enough yet?" she whispered tenderly. He dropped his sword, and turned around quickly before she had time to blink, and pinned her to the ground. "Looks like I win this round after all." He said to her, his smirk evident on his face. She looked up and him and huffed, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks once she realized what position the two was in. An idea clicked into the man's head, as he rubbed his hips against hers. She bit back a tiny moan as he continued this action. "Too much to handle?" the man asked, his smirk evident on his face and in his voice. "Alright, alright! Get off me dog! It's not your mating season yet." The girl laughed playfully, hitting her friend in the chest as he rolled off of her. "Hey …" the young girl asked. "Hm?" he replied. "Do you think, once I've left this region, we will see each other again?" she asked. "," he said turning to her. "I can't promise you that. But maybe, just maybe." He said, wrapping her up in his arms, and there, the two fell asleep.
Katsuyou glanced at Sesshomaru, starting to walk past him. But stopped when her shoulder barely touched his. "Guess we do meet again after 60 years." She said icily, before walking back into the forest, disappearing again.
And since I am so immensely evil, I will stop it here. Yeah, I know, stopping it right after some flashbacks is UNcool, but being cool is OVERRATED! So yeah, you're just going to have to wait for the next chapter. :3 So, Read and Review! Chibi Sesshy will give you cookie. :3
