A/N: Ugh! My third time writing this. Stupid Arch Linux! Enlightenment sucks. Stick with windows everyone! You don't have to configure anything!
Anyway! I actually based Ryuk off of Sulfus from the Italian comic Angel's Friends. I always imagined Kouga's son as haughty and arrogant but still a good guy. I thought Sulfus's character matched that perfectly. At least the comic book version of him. By the way, this will not be a long, annoying painfully stretched out romance. Myrrah and Ryuk are not at all like their parents. They know what they want! It will not take them 200 episodes for them to admit they love each other! That pissed me off so much with Inuyasha and Kagome.
This chapter is short cause I had to write a bunch of times. Sorry guys!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyahsa I really wish I did cause I feel like I would be rich.
4 Years Later
"Ryuk, where are they?"
"They're headed west," the young wolf prince whispered.
"Damn, we need to catch them before they reach the river,"
Ryuk stood up from his hidden position in the bushes. Without wasting a second, he dashed off in direction of the deer. It was this time of year that Ryuk hated the most. Winter was approaching and his clan had to gather as much food as possible to survive. It was such a pain in the ass because they had to track the migrating herds! Normally this responsibility belonged to his older brothers but his father made him go along when it was discover that Ryuk had a stronger than average sense of smell. The other wolf yokai around his age were forced along as well. The whole point was to gain experience This time he was pair off with his friend Raff and a female white wolf named Felan.
"They're a few miles ahead of us," Ryuk called back to the rest of his pack.
Despite the furs wrapped around his body, Ryuk was still freezing his tail off. The winds were harsh and blistering his skin. All of this was just making him more bitter. He had been on this hunt for days. No food. No rest and it was freakin cold. He sensed Korra running beside him, struggling a bit to keep up. She was the oldest of Aniu and Shinta's second litter and Ryuk's new comrade.
"Korra? Daijoubu da?" Ryuk slowed his pace. Looking closer, he saw the pup was exhausted. "C'mon girl," He hoisted her up onto his back. He looked around and suddenly noticed how quiet it was. Where was the rest of his pack? Was he really running so fast that he lost track of the others? No wonder Korra was so tired.
The pup on Ryuk's back suddenly began to growl aggressively at the area in front of them.
"What is it, girl?" Ryuk looked ahead and sniffed the air. There was definitely something out there. "Felan!" He shouted to his comrade. The was no response. Dammit Why the Hell did go off ahead of everyone? Korra's growl intensified and it was than that Ryuk noticed that the wolf was growling at the sky. The clouds were moving fast against the wind! One particular cloud looked like it was moving towards him! Ryuk felt Korra whimper and try to hide herself on his back. The cloud took the shape of a giant dog and gracefully landed before him. Ryuk was speechless at first. It was at least three times larger than an adult wolf. It had shining pure white fur that feathered it's neck, legs, and tail. It's eyes were a dark red that contrasted with the blue irises. It's strangest feature was the dark purple marks around it's muzzle. It was so beautiful and so familiar.
He felt Korra tense up even more when the beast took a step closer. Ryuk placed the pup down gently and took an defensive stance, standing between both creatures. When the beast continued to advance, Ryuk bared his fangs and claws and growled. The dog made a whimpering sound and stepped back. Ryuk knitted his brow in confusion. The dog seemed almost ...sad.
"What do you want?" Ryuk spat the words. He noticed the massive dog flinched at the threat. The dog demon took a step back as a sparkling fog enveloped it. Ryuk thought fast and picked up Korra. He sprinted in the opposite direction. He heard four legs trample the ground behind him. He glanced back and saw the bubble of mist was following! He pushed himself past his limit and ran faster. Soon the footsteps behind him began to fade away until they all together stopped. He halted when he stopped hearing anything. He stood completely still, trying to hear anything shrouded in the swaying trees. He sniffed the air. The scent in the air was very pleasant and nostalgic. Could it be? But it was impossible.
"Ryuk!" The wolf prince jumped a bit when he heard his comrade call. He turned in the direction of the voices and saw the rest of his team.
"Ryuk, what happened? You just disappeared," Felan, the grey female, asked. "What happened to Korra?"
"Sorry, I was just following the trail but I than something started following us," Ryuk explained and place Korra in Felan's arms.
"Following you?" Raff, the male white wolf, inquired. "What was it?"
"This big ass dog demon," Ryuk finally caught all of his breathe.
"Was it Sesshomaru?" Felan stood by Ryuk.
"I'm not sure," Ryuk rubbed the back of his neck. "It's gone now. We should hurry up and just find the stupid deer,"
"Where are they now?" Raff asked.
"Uh," Ryuk sniffed the air and pointed west. "Same direction as before. We should hurry up before we lose-"
"Ryuk-kun!"
Ryuk saw a flash of silver and pink and felt the wind knocked out of him almost violently as he fell to the ground. He felt a weight sitting on his chest and in an instant, he was suddenly surrounded by the familiar nostalgic smell. That pleasant smell of lilacs. He opened his eyes and saw someone he hadn't seen in a very long time.
"M-Myrrah...," He breathed out.
Her smile was still so bright and uplifting. Her golden eyes shined with pure excitement.
"Get off him, you bitch!" Felan screamed and clawed at Myrrah but all she touched was the air. Ryuk felt the pressure on his chest disappear. He saw a silver blur flip off of him and land a safe distance away from the others. Sitting up, he drank Myrrah in. He remembered her as an oddly dressed, silly little demon pup. That was defiantly not was was standing in front of him. Myrrah had matured. She still had the same golden eyes and purple markings on her cheeks but she was taller, more slender, with a blossoming feminine figure. Her hair had grown and was now a little past her waist. She even had a gold hoop in her left ear. Her clothing was still abnormal. She was wearing a short light pink spaghetti strap dress that ended at her mid thigh. The dress had a hood with soft white fur around the hem. She wore white boots with kitten heals and a cuff of white fur around each wrist.
Ryuk was surprised that she wasn't cold in that outfit. She smiled again and began to walk towards Ryuk again but Raff and Felan took defensive positions in front of him, preventing Myrrah from getting close. Ryuk sighed in annoyance at their unnecessary hostility.
"Relax, guys," He toughed their shoulders to reassure them. "She's a friend,"
Myrrah smiled. As soon as Ryuk slid past them, she through herself into his arms. Ryuk squeezed her as hard as he could. He had only known her for a short time, but he had missed her tremendously Myrrah herself had thought of nothing else while she was away. Neither said anything, they just held each other. Myrrah looked up from Ryuk's chest and took in his appearance. She blushed lightly. He was much more handsome than she anticipated. She buried her face in his chest again when he began to notice her pink cheeks. He chuckled softly.
A fake aggravated cough was heard, ruining the happy reunion.
"Who is she?" Felan demanded, putting her hands on her hips.
"She's an old friend of mine," Ryuk said, with his arms still around her waist.
"My name is Myrrah," the female daiyokai introduced herself innocently, completely oblivious of the anger coming from Felan.
"Nice to meet you," Raff seemed to calm down a bit. She was pretty cute.
"Nice to meet you too," Myrrah grinned as she pulled away a little bit from Ryuk. "What's your na-"
"We should get going," Felan rudely interrupted her. "The herds will get away,"
"Hunting?" Myrrah inquired. Ryuk nodded. "Cool,"
A soft growl came from behind Ryuk's legs.
"Who's she?" Myrrah crouched down to Korra's level. She held out her hand for the wolf to sniff.
"Korra," Ryuk answered. "Aniu's and Shinta's pup,"
"They had pups?" Myrrah beamed. "I'd love to see them again,"
"You could come wit-"
"Myrrah-sama!" They were all startled by a voice coming from the sky. Myrrah squeaked and hid behind Ryuk.
"What's wrong?" Ryuk couldn't help but smirk at her. She looked like she was just caught with her hand in the cookie jar. He heard Raff and Felan gasp. He looked up to see a female demon riding atop a two headed dragon. "Who's that?"
"Myrrah-sama! Please we have to get back to the palace," She implored. Upon closer inspection, Ryuk saw the female on the dragon was a cat demon.
"Demo, Mila-chan, I was going to go back very soon," Myrrah peeped her head out from behind Ryuk.
"We need to go right now," Mila implored.
"You should go," Felan spat.
"We need to get going too," Raff added.
Myrrah stepped out from behind Ryuk and ran to Mila, who had dismounted Ah-Un.
"Mila-chan, this is Ryuk-kun," Myrrah pulled her over to the trio of wolf yokai.
"Very nice to meet you," Mila bowed respectively but immediately turned back to Myrrah. "Myrrah-sama, you know you are not allowed here without a an escort,"
Myrrah pouted and sighed at her friend's nagging. Ryuk lightly touched her arm. "Meet me here later?" He whispered in he ear. Myrrah blushed when she felt his breath on her skin, but nodded her head. She gave his hand one last squeeze before being dragged away by Mila. Ryuk didn't take his eyes off her until she was too far away to see. He felt a clawed hand grab his upper arm.
"Hello? Ryuk? Are you listening?" Felan shook him lightly.
"H-Huh?" Ryuk turned to a fuming Felan and laughing Raff.
"Welcome back, Ryuk," Raff teased. "I don't blame you. Myrrah's very attractive,"
Ryuk elbowed him in the ribs playfully and took off running. Felan and Raff were right behind him.
"Who is she anyway?" Felan ran beside Ryuk. "Why haven't we seen her before?"
"She's Sesshomaru's relative," Ryuk replied.
"Lord of the West Sesshomaru?" Raff's jaw dropped.
"Yeah," Ryuk answered.
"Good luck getting to her," Felan's comment defiantly lacked sincerity. You'd have to be blind not to see Ryuk's interest in Myrrah. They were wolf yokai after all. Wolves want, wolves take and Felan had already pinned her hopes on Ryuk.
A/N: I love Myrrah's signature outfit. I'm not gunna lie. I was thinking of Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. I wanted to add some fur on too because I noticed that most of Sesshomaru's family has wears fur. At least I think they wear it.
