A/N: Omg... Electric Daisy Carnival... It's so great! Afrojack Morgan Page and Calvin Harris all were there! It was sooooo fun! I had a really good work out too! I danced for 9 hours straight! But anyway! This was supposed to be a cute little oneshot, but I did say that if I got at least 10 reviews I would continue. Thanks fellow users and guests. This is for you!
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha nor do I make money off of this. Also the song I used "Bring me close" by Mindy Gledhill. Awesome song!
Thank you for reading and please review.
Chapter 1
"Oh Rin-chan! It was wonderful!" Myrrah shouted bouncing about her futon. "I never knew the wolf youkai were so amazing!"
"Yes, yes," Rin nodded, pretending she was listening but all of her focus was on getting the pup to stay still.
"Ow!" Myrrah whimpered when one particular jump caused Rin's comb to roughly dig into her scalp.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Myrrah-chan," Rin pulled the little girl into her lap and kissed her achy head. "Now, settle down. It's time for bed,"
Myrrah struggled a bit when Rin tucked the blankets tightly around her.
"Ne? Rin-chan?" Myrrah peaked her nose above the blanket. "How come you and Sessha-chan never told me about the wolf youkai? They live so close to us,"
"Ano..., We just never thought you needed to know. They can be very dangerous," Rin whispered calmly as she neatly braided Myrrah's silver hair.
"Demo... Ryuk didn't seem so bad and his wolves are like puppies!" Myrrah giggled.
"Hehe..., alright, love. Time for bed," Rin lowered her lips and kissed Myrrah's forehead. "Sesshomaru will be here soon,"
She would have to wait and be awake for a little while longer now. Something she was well accustomed to by now. Sesshomaru was the Lord of the West, but he was never in one spot for too long. When he and Rin adopted Myrrah, Sesshomaru built them a castle to give them stability, but that didn't mean he gave up his nomad lifestyle. Every once in a while he would return to be with his family. He always made sure he was there to wish Myrrah goodnight.
The young daiyoukai closed her eyes and faked slumber when she smelled Sesshomaru coming. She heard him slide the shoji open and his steps on the floor were purposely audible.
"Myrrah," Rin sighed, well aware of this game. Myrrah made the hush sound.
"I know you're awake, Myrrah," She could hear the very faint smile in his voice.
Myrrah giggled.
"How did you know?" She sat up in her bed. Sesshomaru sat on the bed opposite of his wife.
"Your nose was twitching," He playfully poked her cheek. Myrrah faked a pout and swatted his claw away.
"So? You're not still angry at me?" Myrrah flapped her feet under the blankets to avoid looking her uncle in the eye.
"No, but you may need to apologize to Jaken," Sesshomaru stated.
"I didn't mean to disobey. I was just playing with my new friend," Myrrah continued to avoid his piercing gaze. "At least, I was able to use all those lessons you taught me. I had no idea I was so tough!" Myrrah touched her slender arm, feeling her little muscles.
"Yes, Myrrah-chan," Rin indulged the young child.
"That was your first hostile opponent, wasn't it?" Sesshomaru asked, retucking the pup in.
"Yup, yup! And Ryuk and I kicked his butt!" Myrrah couldn't stop smiling. "Demo..., but we weren't the ones who kill it though. An arrow did. Are there any priestesses near by, Sessha-chan?"
"Non that I'm aware of," Sesshomaru stated, his true feelings only being displayed by his lips being tightly pressed together in a thin line. "Okay, Myrrah, it's time to sleep,"
"Demo, Sessha-"
"Hush, now," Rin cut her off and kissed Myrrah's cheek.
"We'll see you in the morning, Myrrah," Sesshomaru gave Myrrah one last pat on the head before he left his wife and their pup alone. His wife didn't miss Sesshomaru's eyes looking at her and than the door.
"Will he be back soon?" Myrrah murmured.
"Of course, love," Rin smiled looking at Myrrah's half lidded eyes.
I could float without wings
Touch the sky, feel the sunlight
Fly through space
If I knew it would bring me close to you
Rin gently sang the lullaby. It was a little song she had heard when she was younger and she always remembered it. When Myrrah was first given to them, she had cried non stop for days. Singing to her was their last resort and it instantly put the wailing infant to sleep. Ever since than, Rin always sang it to Myrrah before she went to continued to work to this very day. Rin stifled a laugh when she looked down and saw that Myrrah had already fallen asleep.
People stop and stare
So let them watch me
While I dare to suddenly
Dance through the street
Tap my feet
I could sing your name out loud
Through the crowd
If I knew it would bring me close to you
Rin slowly moved from the bed, her voice becoming softer and lower with each step. She sang the very last verse as she was sliding the shoji closed. Rin even took cautious steps when she a decent way from Myrrah's room. When she knew it was safe, she rushed off to find her husband.
Sesshomaru was waiting for her in the estate's garden. His expression was so stoic and hard that even Rin, already accustomed to his face, could tell that something was wrong.
"Anata? You wanted to talk?" Rin stood by his side.
"I was thinking of having Myrrah stay with my mother for a while," Sesshomaru finally spoke.
"What?!" Rin exclaimed. "What made you decide this?"
"They are getting too close to her," Sesshomaru bit out. "I've tolerated them for far too long,"
"They just want to see her...," Rin whispered sadly.
"I don't give a damn," Sesshomaru spat. "I already spoke with her about it,"
"How did she feel about your proposal?" Rin asked, an edge in her voice. She was already against this idea.
"She was rather enthusiastic about Myrrah coming to living with her," Sesshomaru had a hint of a smile in his voice.
"She is the only one," Rin sneered.
Sesshomaru chuckled at his wife's indifference.
"Of course you will be living there with Myrrah as well," Sesshomaru looped his arm around Rin's tiny waist.
"Oh lovely," Rin said sarcastically. "I get to live with your mother,"
On the far side of the castle, a young demon was still wide awake and had heard everything. They had often underestimated her strong hearing. Myrrah huffed and backed away from the slightly ajar shoji. They were going to send her to away to Baachan's palace. Not that she didn't love her Baachan dearly. She lived in a beautiful castle in the sky. Whenever she visited, the mistress spoiled her shamelessly with presents and sweets. Myrrah never imagined she would be living there. It always seemed like a magical place away from home.
"Myrrah-sama?"
Myrrah turned and saw her personal maid, Mila.
"Shhh, Mila-chan. Sessha-chan might hear you," Myrrah held a little finger to her lips.
"F-Forgive me, Myrrah-sama, but shouldn't you be in bed?" the maid asked.
"I should and I will-" Myrrah giggled. "-just as soon as I get back,"
"N-Nani?" Mila watched as her mistress hopped about the room, putting on her day clothes.
Mila was in Myrrah's service since they were both four years old. At least formally she was in her service. Mila was an orphaned cat demon that Rin had crossed paths with long ago. After much begging, Sesshomaru finally agreed to take her in. To make use of her, Sesshomaru assigned Mila to be Myrrah's caretaker. A role Mila attempts to take seriously but had great trouble keeping Myrrah out of trouble. It was not long before they became best friends. The dynamic duo of Myrrah and Mila. Myrrah's favorite part was their rhyming names.
"W-What do you mean? Back from where?" Mila whispered frozen in her place. She wanted to chase after Myrrah but all that followed her was her arms.
"I'm going to see Ryuk-kun," Myrrah grinned as she slipped on her shoes.
"The w-wolf demon? But why?" Mila asked.
"I want to see him again before Sessha-chan sends us away?"
"Sesshomaru-sama wants to send us away? To where? Are we in trouble?"
"No, of course not. Sessha-chan just thinks I'll be safer there,"
"And I'm going with you, Myrrah-sama?"
"I'm not going without you,"
Myrrah observed herself in the small mirror. She was never a vain child, barely caring if her shoes were matching, but for some reason she wanted to look...nice. She had the weirdest feelings when she thought of Ryuk. She had only known him for a short while but for some reason when she thought of him, her breathing quickened and she felt her body temperature rise. She would have to ask Rin-chan about it later.
"A-Ano, please don't leave, Myrrah-sama," Mila folded her hands and begged. "Sesshomaru-sama will be cross...,"
Just before Myrrah hopped out of window, she turned to Mila and pouted.
"You and Jaken-chan always worry about Sessha-chan being mad," Myrrah's pout morphed into a smile. "But he never is,"
Myrrah jumped out of her window. On quiet feet, she dashed out of the property hopefully without alerting anyone. As if her excitement wasn't enough, the night air made her feel even more exhilarated. The moon was waxing but still very bright, making everything glow like crystals. Seems like everything was screaming at her to run faster. Which of course she did.
With Ryuk's scent still fresh in her mind and senses, Myrrah followed it until every shadow moved two inches. She was shocked at the distance she had been traveling. She traveled far to the north, to the mountains She had no idea Ryuk lived so far. Already she could smell the other wolf demons and the burning fires of their dens. Were they still away? It seemed so late, but than Myrrah remembered that she was only 7 and Sesshomaru made her go to bed early. Just as the camp was coming into view, Myrrah immediately sensed danger. Just before the light of their bonfires revealed her, she ducked behind a tree.
Myrrah just stood there, catching her breath. She had to be careful. If the wolves were anything like her kind, they could hear and smell her. She nearly wet herself, when the wolves of the tribe all began to growl...in her direction. It was almost like a symphony of threats. There were too many scents mixed together. She couldn't hone in on Ryuk. When the growls became more intense, Myrrah quietly dashed away from the dens. As she stood in the tree tops, she felt like a fool. She never thought this though at all. Of course she couldn't just waltz in and ask to see the wolf demon prince.
She didn't know how long she was standing in the tree but she broke out of her trance when she smelled something familiar.
"Aniu! Shinta!" She exclaimed when she looked down from her perch. She jumped down from the branch and embraced the majestic creatures. "You found me!"
How could she forget them? She loved Shinta's blue eyes and Aniu's lovely heterochromia eyes.
"Ne? Can you bring Ryuk-kun to me?" It didn't feel odd at all that it seemed like they understood her words. With a blink of their eyes, they turned their backs to her an headed back to the main dens.
Myrrah peaked out and watched them go. Her hearts so and her throat vibrated with laughter when she saw him, being dragged by his pelt to her.
"Okay, okay!" Ryuk growled. "What do you guys want?"
Aniu ran behind him and pressed her head to Ryuk's legs to push him further. Ryuk continued to struggle until Myrrah purposely made a noise The wolf demon froze and sniffed the air, catching Myrrah's sweet scent. Ayame noticed began to notice that one of her offspring was missing.
"Ryuk!?" Ayame called after her son. "Ryuk, where are you!?"
"I'm going for a walk, Oka-sama!" Ryuk called back. "I'll be back soon,"
Ryuk ran further out into the forests near the base of his family's mountain. With Aniu and Shinta close behind him, he went out further. Myrrah grinned and quietly made a soundless run around Ryuk. Ryuk was suddenly engulfed by her scent.
"M-Myrrah?" Ryuk silently asked.
The lurking pup in tree stifled a laugh. Three seconds later, Myrrah leaped from the tree and crashed down on Ryuk's unsusspecting back.
"I-It's you!" Ryuk said with a mouthful of dirt. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you, Ryuk," Myrrah grinned, still perched onto of the wolf demon.
3 Hours Later
"You have any brothers or sisters?" Myrrah asked as she and Ryuk walked side by side along a river bank.
"Uh, I have 5 older brothers," Ryuk said almost proudly.
"Wow, 5? That sounds awesome," Myrrah said in awe.
"What about you?" Ryuk asked.
"Nope, only child..., I think...," Myrrah placed her hand on her chin in a thinking manner.
"You think?" Ryuk raised a brow.
"Yeah, I mean I don't really know where I come from," Myrrah said with an air of innocence. Ryuk couldn't believe it.
"But I thought you were the child of Sessomaru-sama!" Ryuk exclaimed.
"No!" Myrrah stopped walking and pouted. "Sessha-chan and Rin-chan just raised me,"
"Sorry, I just thought so 'cause you guys looked so much alike," Ryuk rubbed the back of his head nervously. "You know 'cause of your eyes, and hair, and those purple thingys on your face,"
Myrrah placed her hands on her hips and her pout deepened. Despite her being angry she looked cute. Ryuk bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from blushing.
"How come you came to see me?" Ryuk suddenly asked.
"A-Are you mad?"
"Nah uh," Ryuk shook his head. "I was gunna look for you tomorrow,"
"I don't know if I'll still be here tomorrow," Myrrah felt her eyes water. Just as she felt the first sob come, she felt Ryuk's lips on her cheek. Myrrah squealed and jumped back. Her golden eyes were as wide as possible and she slapped her hand to her flushed cheek.
"What was that for?" Myrrah squeaked.
Ryuk looked at oddly. He always thought kisses made girls feel better. Whenever his mom was sad, his father would kiss her and she would smile again. It always worked with his mom. Why wasn't it working now?
"I thought girls liked kisses," Ryuk cocked his head to the side, confused. "Didn't you like it?"
"W-Well...," Myrrah stuttered, still blushing. "I thought that kissing happened between two people w-who liked each other...,"
"I like you!" Ryuk grinned, being completely honest. Ryuk walked up to Myrrah and removed her hands from her face.
"R-R-Really?" Myrrah blushed harder when Ryuk didn't let go of her hands.
"Yeah! Of course," Ryuk said enthusiastically. "You're really cute, Myrrah!"
"T-Thanks," Myrrah drew a circle in the dirt with her foot.
"So don't worry about leaving!" Ryuk slung his arm around Myrrah's shoulders. "You'll be okay and I'll be waiting for you when you come back, okay?"
"Kay," Myrrah smiled.
Ryuk grabbed her hand. "We should go before we get in trouble,"
"Yeah, I think Sessha-chan knows I'm not in my bed," Myrrah yawned.
The young wolf prince saw this and hunched over in front of her.
"Wha?" Myrrah yawned again, her eyes growing heavy.
"Climb on my back. I'll carry you,"
Myrrah yawned again and did as she was told. "Kay,"
The walk home felt a little too short. Especially when you are really really comfortable.
