I still love it! I may only have gotten one review for the last chapter. And yes, yes I know I'm an evil author, paybacks a bitch luckily my method of torment is to put my own OC into some serious shit.
Back to the idea of the last chapter. I couldn't talk about it too much for I would spill too much good stuff. Anyway, with the vision that she had seen; it was nothing like what's occuring and that's good because the vision showed the birds attacking the pack, killing almost everyone and she saw Sharushi in the vision as well, the difference is that in the vision Sharushi controls Talia to kill Kouga. This happens due to Kouga having killed her last pet, which is a crow demon.
When Natalia left the cave after seeing the vision, she threw off the vision entirely. Meaning the birds don't attack the pack, Kouga doesn't kill Sharushi's pet bird, in turn making her violent. However Sharushi still takes control of Talia, but for reasons you guys won't even see coming.
Yes, yes if you couldn't guess before Sharushi is obviously a lesbian. This is actually my first attempt of doing gay characters besides Marko from the beginning of the story and chapter 5.
Though he's not as convincing because I can mostly do flirting homosexuals because their personality is vague to me and I don't have or know anyone who's gay or lesbian. Just so you know this is not to be offensive at all! I love the homos, be who you want to be, your still human.
I think what's gonna come up soon is the truth behind Talia's being a wolf demon and the clip image of Tavera being a wolf demon and her knowing all those things back in chapter 5. Sharushi also will have her past revealed and to be honest her's is heartbreaking as much as the sister's past is.
Hope you enjoy this chapter and let's begin!
I don't own Inuyasha, I do own the story plot, the human and demon OC's and Natalia
"She's everything to everyone
Wish I could've seen it come down
But I heard incorrectly
It seems everything she knows
Is now five minutes too close
And that's not a lot of time when your nervous
And they say don't look away
Don't be afraid when you want
To turn back a million times
It might get colder but wait til it's over
Darling, you'll find your way
And she said.
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts and make them shine
And all this pain I feel inside,
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts and make them shine
Don't want to be perfect just alright"
Look away-Thousand foot krutch
"Are you insane? Walking around out there without anyone knowing where you were? What if one of the Bird's got you?"…
"Kouga's looking for you."…
"Look at this! Kouga's getting it on!"…
"I'm more wolf than you losers, even if I'm not a demon."…
"Run you idiot! Take the human!."…
"GAH!"…
'Damn, what's going on with me?'…
"Bring her…and her alpha to me."…
"Does anyone else feel like something's gonna happen?"…
"Meaning something bad's gonna happen and it won't just affect us.-"…
"Something's coming…"..
'No! I don't want to become that!'…
"Oh, no…"…
"You've come to me, human child. Yet you smell of wolf."…
"I'm Sharushi, Harpy Queen of the Birds of Paradise-"…
"We have to do something!-"…
"She saw this coming…"…
"I smell birds…and wolves."…
"-A human was here. Her scent is faint, covered by that of the scents of wolf.".
"You'll be taken care of. I promise, my precious.~"…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"…
"-You're now a wolf Yokai-"…
"Your all mine~"…
'I don't know what's right and what's wrong.'
Chapter 8: Memories once forgotten
Sharushi's pov
I smile to myself as I stroke the hair of my precious wolf. Her even breathing lets me know she's sound asleep. Her lips are a little bruised from earlier, which I giggle about inwardly. Daybreak hasn't happened yet, but I'm too wired to continue to sleep. Her hair feels soft and floaty, mostly from it being blown in the wind. I listen to the birds outside as they sleep, too bad soon they will awake.
"what has life done to me…" I sigh, my thoughts a bit heavy with dread. My precious wolf sturrs in her sleep, a soft grunt coming from her. My thoughts vanish as I gaze at her. Already my heart is racing, beating quickly. She sturrs more as her beautiful eyes flicker open and slowly looks around the room before meeting mine.
My hand continues to stoke her hair. The wolf girl rubs her cheek into my hand, making me carress her face. "Speak your name to me." I rub my thumb across her cheek, a slight pink color dances across her cheek.
Her eyes narrow and a smile plays on her lips. "Natalia…" My breath escapes me. That's why these feelings are so familiar." I thought as she sits up, catching me off guard.
I play off my startleness with a laugh. "You don't remember me, do you?" Natalia looks at me with pure confusion. "This is the first time I've been to this world." She states as she looks down at her claws.
"Though, seeing myself like this…makes it hard to believe where I come from…" I notice her playing with her fang necklace. It was a wolves fang oddly, where could she have gotten it?
I shake my red hair, it had fallen out of it's pinup last night, so when I shake my head it's like a waterfall of flames is being sprayed out. "You were born here… I remember the day we met, we were only 90 years old."
(forgive me I don't understand the actual aging span for demons so I don't know the years they would be to look like a 12 year old and a 10 year old)
Flash back~
The flame hair harpy looks around in the village. I had lived here most of my life. My family, the harpy demon's themselves were wiped out except for the few children that had been seperated, me including.
My father had been close to death when he carried me to this village from our home in the distant mountains miles away. My mother was a half demon of another kind, but I didn't get her demon genes. However I got her human nature. So you could say I was fourth-demon.
"Sharu, it's so nice to see you." An elderly man greets me, carrying a fish he had recently caught. I wave to him. "Nice to see you sir! You should be more careful!" I walked on. I was at the edge of the village in no time.
Nearby there was a pack of visiting wolves hidden in one of the bigger caves. The village chief lets the wolves live there, for he knows they're just visiting their distant kind for they hailed from the south.
Their furs were an auburn brown color, obviously depicting a color fitted for the southern wolf pack.
I could see the cave from the edge of the village. I was a bit excited because I heard that the chief of the pack had children. I peek out from behind a tree and see two of the wolves outside.
"Tav, I don't want to be mated to him." The younger wolf, who looks younger than me says. The younger one has honey brown hair with deep green eyes. I blush just from looking at her. 'she's so cute' I shake my head off the thought as I look at the older wolf, who has the same green eyes but with long almond brown hair tied into pigtails.
"Sorry, sis. Dad and the chief of these mountains already agreed to your mating ceremony." "But!-" the wolf girl stammers as the older sister waves her off walking back into the cave.
The young wolf glares back at the cave and kicks a rock on the ground. I look out behind the tree and look at her, my face hinted pink from my blush.
'she's spoken for. That's upsetting and terrible.' I thought as I walked out and slinked over to her. "Hello, precious." The younger wolf jumps away, making my heart deflat a little. "Who are you?!" the girl hisses. I flinch slightly. "Oh, wait. You're the harpy that lives in the village." I nod my head hiding my face away from hers.
"You ok though?" she asks urging my face up with one finger. "I'm Sharushi." I murmur as I look at her. She smiles brightly. "Natalia." I blush and smile. "Tali-chan." I almost purred out.

That's when I knew I was feeling feels no young demon has ever had before.

"Tali-chan!" I race over to her with handfulls of flowers as she's making flower crowns for the both of us. "I found some really pretty ones." I showed her the tye dye looking flowers I had found a little ways away from where we were by the cave.
She gazes over the flowers and nods her head. "those look beautiful! Here, I already finished yours." I clasp my hands together and smile warmly at her as she puts the flower crown on my head.

"Sharushi!" Tali-chan's voice echos towards the village edge as I'm about to cross it. I turn towards the woods where her voice came from. "Tali!" I scream as I dash and fly low through the trees searching for her.
There's a break in the trees, where several have been cut down. Tali is cowering in a knot hole as a cyote demon, 3 of them surround the tree, trying to land their jaws inside the knot hole.
"Tali!" I call out as I dive bomb the cyotes, making them scatter. The cyotes growl and snap at me for intruding on their dinner. My silver eyes grow menacing as the feathers that make up my skin, stand up as I flap my arms around me seperating them from my skin.
"Feather storm!" the feathers swarm the cyotes slashing at them, cutting up their fur. The cyotes run off after the assults, fearing for their lives. My feathers return to me as I walk to the knot hole. "Tali?" I look inside to see a frightened wolf yokai. She was trying not to cry from fear. "Tali-chan…" I reach inside and pull her out and hold her to me.
She curls up in my arms and clutches onto me. My heart ends up beating fast from her soft touch. I smile as I hold her to me. "it's ok, it's ok. Shhh." Tali hiccups and sobs as I run my hand through her honey brown hair. I carry her back towards the cave.
"Sharushi?" she murmurs. I look down at her. "Nani?" she looks up at me. "I don't wanna mate with Kouga… he doesn't care about me. I wish my pack didn't have to go back to the south… I would've liked to have stayed here." Tali hugs me as close as she could while in my arms. I sighed and hug her back as well.
'I wish she could stay, but her family would go crazy.' I look at her a smile hinting on my face.
"Tali," she looks at me again. "Promise me something. Promise me, that when we're older, you'll come find me. So…so…so we can have more adventures." I hid the truth. I couldn't tell her that I liked her possibly loved her as more than a friend.

The day she would have to head home came sooner than I expected. But the news that came along with it shcoked me even more.

"What do you mean, I'll never see her again?!" I cried out when the wolf chief, Brazen told me what was gonna happen with Tavera and Tali.
"They must be protected. I've learned of an enchanted well, this well can send beings to an alternate time. Tali's memory will be erased so only Tavera will know of their true nature." Brazen explains holding my shoulder. I couldn't believe that he was gonna send his own pups away.
"What about what's best for them?!" I exclaim, with tears in my eyes. Brazen's eyes grew hard like two pieces of coal. "Demons want them dead as a price to pay for my mistakes in the past. This is the only way to save them." Brazen turns away from me and heads off towards the cave as tears soak my dress. I couldn't hold back.
I make a mad dash towards the cave. "Tali! Tali!" the honey wolf runs out of the cave and holds onto me as I gasp for air. "Tali! You can't stay here! Don't go with them!" I tell her, a look of disbelieve on her face.
"Sharushi, their my family, my home. I can't leave." "You have to if you want your memory of this life to remain!" Tali looks at me in shock.
"What do you mean…?" she drops her arms from mine. Desperation is vivid in my eyes as I gaze at her. "Your father plans to erase your memory and then send you and Tavera away through a sacred well." Tali knew about the legend of the well, nearly every demon who's been to the western lands knows of the special well, known as the Bone Eater's well.
I pull her in for a tight hug. "Tali… please don't go." My voice breaks as I hold onto her tightly.
Tali lowers her head and holds me as well, then slowly pulls my arms off, holding tightly onto my hands. "Sharushi….please never forget me. Even if I forget you, and I never return to this world….. keep our memories alive." Tali looks up into my eyes, her green eyes filled with unshed tears a tight smile on her face.
"No! No, Tali! Please. Please don't!" I begged her even as her pack come out of the cave. Tavera gives me an apologetic look her eyes crestenfallen. I see the same expression on all of the wolf yokai.
Tali gets my attention again as she presses me into a hug and kisses my forehead. "Tali…" I whisper, my voice too broken to speak. She brushes my shaggy hair from my face and cups my cheeks.
"Don't ever forget me. If I come back… in the future… tell me the things I've forgotten." She presses her face into mine before letting me go entirely, my legs weaken as I just slide onto the grassy ground.
She gives me a faint smile before taking her sister's hand. A single tear falls down my face. "I'll miss you forever…" I whisper to the wind as I watched my only friend and her pack go back home and inturn make the worst decision they've ever made.
Flashback ends~
I meet Natalia's gaze, which is one of pure disbelieve, like that one other time. Tali gazes up at me. I smile and brush her hair away from her face. Tali's eyes fill with tears. "Why…" tears drop down her face. "What am i…." I could feel her demonic aura shifting to fear and confusion.
"Tali, don't be afraid." I say calmingly as her gaze meets mine. I hold a hand out towards her. She slowly reaches for my hand. "You always knew you were something more."
Natalia's pov
"what are we…?" both my demon and human side say together. I could feel my demonic aura getting more dense and frightened. I was scared to know what I was. I knew I was different… but finding out so much at once….my brain is splitting open! "Aaaaaaaah!" I scream out in pain as I grasp at my head, clentching my eyes shut with pain and distress.
"Tali, what's wrong?!" Sharushi exclaims trying to get closer to me but my demonic aura is too great. In a burst of energy, my demonic aura sends a blast out, knocking Sharushi into the wall.
'someone, anyone! Tell me who I'm supposed to be! What am I supposed to be?' my thoughts scream out as I continue to scream. The whole room gets light up by a white glow.
"Tali!" Sharushi cries out. I couldn't hear her as my screams grew louder, my head banging profusely like a drum set. I could feel myself getting lost within my own being, my demon taking over.
'what should I be…' was my last thought before a growl rips through my throat.
Sharushi's pov
'Tali!' my thoughts rang out as I got slammed into the wall by her overpowering demonic aura. It's filled to the brim with confusion and fear. This is all Brazen's fault, if he was more cautious Tali would've stayed and this wouldn't be happening.
I look over at her as the light starts glowing around her. My eyes dart to the collar on her neck. 'NO! the jewel! It's breaking! If it breaks, her demon form will be out of control!' I cry out to her. "Tali!" I knew my voice couldn't reach her as I could only watch as the red jewel breaks in half.
Her screams dropped automatically and her eyes change completely to a white golden color, the red marks visible on her face and the mixed emotions rushing though her eyes.
A growl rips through her throat as her gaze settles on me. "Tali! It's me, Sharushi!" I exclaim, splaying out one of my hands in front of me, as if that would stop Tali's approach.
I close my eyes and pray she doesn't attack me. I knew I should fight back, but by myself with a newly transformed wolf demon? That's begging to be slaughtered. I hear her take a step as a voice rang outside the hut.
"NATALIA!" The fully transformed wolf looks through the window of the hut and we both see two groups of beings out there.
I dash to the window before Tali can react and scream. "She's a full demon now! BE CAREFUL!" Tali yanks on my hair before kicking open the hut door and fling me through the opening. My arm catches on the ground, scrapping up by body along the way.
"Ack!" I hit the ground viciously and tumble before coming to a stop a few feet from the hut. My eyes blurred as I see Tali let out a howl. My vision caves as I fall into nothingness.
I think this is enough toture for now. So the truth comes forward. She's a Wolf yokai, she was born in that era, and she and Sharushi share a heart breaking past. Sorry if their past wasn't interesting and took up the majority of the chapter.
Sadly now, she's out of control cause remember, the jewel kept the wolf demon under control by making her passionate towards Sharushi, making her harmless, and without it her demon is out of control.
Hope you guys understood it the best you could. In the next chapter we take it to the two group's side and see them meet and form together to assumingly defeat Sharushi and save Natalia but now they have to protect Sharushi and defeat Natalia and still kill the birds because they'll be in the way anyway.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter and have a good day
