The Fairytale that Never Happened
Chapter 1
It's been two years since that fateful day where I met Inuyasha as he saved me from the youkai. He visited the village every now and then, always protecting us from other stray youkai. I wondered if he ever heard about the Shikon no tama, the jewel in which I was entrusted to protect. The jewel in which corrupted many human beings, the jewel that kills so many for it's search, that if someone were to possess the jewel and have a black heart, the jewel itself would become tainted, blackened with evil. I didn't think to ask him about it, though. It would probably make him want it, then come after me for it. I was having such a wonderful time just being with him that I didn't want to ruin it because of a petty jewel that increased a demon's power just by touching it.
On this particular day, I was in my hut with my younger sister Kaede. She had just come back from outside in the fields, gathering herbs and making medicines to treat the wounded. Inuyasha walked into the hut without a care in the world. He and Kaede have been getting along really well, and for that, I am glad.
He walked over to me, and sat down beside me. "What are you doing?" he asked.
I smiled. "I'm about to go outside and gather herbs. Would you like to join me?"
Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders, but nodded anyway. I walked outside the hut, and he followed me. He instantly took my hand and walked out to the part of the forest where I always gathered the herbs and brought them back to the hut. He then made sure that no demons, jaki or anything of the sort would hurt me. It felt nice, being protected. It felt like I was loved… but we never got into anything deep, really. We were just friends... right?
After a while of picking herbs, I brushed the hair out of my eyes and decided it was time to go back home. "Would you mind accompanying me back to my hut, Inuyasha?"
The hanyou nodded and took my hand again. But when we got to the village...
It had been under attack.
Bodies lay scattered, parts of them torn off by demons. Some of the demons were still there, feasting on the bodies. My eyes widened. "Kaede!" I screeched and ran towards our tiny hut, which was in flames. I collapsed to the ground and cried.
Inuyasha stalked into the hut even though it was in flames. "Inuyasha, no!" I called to him but he ignored me. It seemed like ages before he came out again. But he did.
And in his arms was my little sister, Kaede.
