Damn Old Hag
Whoever thought that I, Mizu, the ultimate ocean and beach lover would be seen here in the Forest Of Inyusha. I only came to this human polluted land to investigate an odd well. There are rumors all across the island talking about a well with demons and priestess popping out of the thing. I still remember what that annoying old samurai at the southern beach said "A woman with the body of a normal person everything else below her waist is in the shape of a centipede, it was in the forest of Inyusha, that demon ended up killing ten of my horses and men". I laughed at this for a couple of moments only to remember that 50 years ago a fair and beautiful priestess trapped a demon in a well. If a thing that couldn't be destroyed was back destroying the land then my plans of home and belonging are gone to nothing.
"Identify yourself", said an old man with a spear. I honestly couldn't believe that I would ever find this village, considering the poor directions I've been given but now seeing it I really wish I hadn't. The towns barriers were crumbled in to splinters, the villagers huts and houses turned into ash, and just to annoy me even more they left and old geezer to guard their village. Fools, or should I rather say dumbasses. I understand that maybe the village has no one else to protect and the old man may have been a last resort but to leave him with only a spear and his bald little head is just downright irritating. "Have your peace old man, I have no intention to get in to a fight with a flea bag like you", I said as I carelessly strolled past him. Then as if I haven't warned him, he lunges at me with his infernal weapon, but like the shark I am I bite the thing in half and spit the remains at his feet. He's white with fear and runs off yelling "Help Lady Kaede!"
Off to town I go then, what a desolate village. All the men and women focused on rebuilding their homes and all the children are either playing or gathering their lost herds. They're all too focused to notice the freak with the emerald greens eyes, jet black hair, tan skin, gills on her neck, dorsal fin sticking out, and canines sticking out. Also with a silver trident held tightly in hand. "Hey you! The girl who smells like fish brine!" A yelling man's voice. At the last moment I turned around, all I see are a pair of golden yellow eyes and white hair coming at me. Just to top my luck the legendary mutt himself appears.
His claws go straight for my face but I dodge with ease and summersault a safe distance from him, damn mutt, he swiped off some of my hair! I'll have his head on a platter. "Sit", out of nowhere a female voice comes. Like a boulder falling beneath the waters the mutt collapses face first in to the ground. Inyusha, the dog generals son, defeated by a mere maiden in a really small kimono, what a disgrace. "You shouldn't attack people before knowing their intentions, oh and I'm Kagome by the way", said the flashy maiden. What the hell? Does this little girl know who I am, I am Mizu, that bitch should be shaking with fear!
"Now, now children enough of this ruckus", says an old hag with an eye patch. "Tell me why should I take orders from a damn old hag like you?" I said as I prepare my trident to gut them all with. Then swift as the wind the hag throws a bunch of sand at me, only for me to realize that it's not sand, its powdered turmeric, one of the few things a half demon shark should never have to encounter. Immediately my nostrils are on fire and my eyes tear and I go blind. Something strikes the back of my head and everything in the world goes black as the deep. I was taken down by that hag Kaede.
