I'm a Nightmare

Here lying down under the stars, I Mizu, am in the middle of thinking about the wise yet annoying words of the old hag Kaede. "You were able to see the darkness with eyes filled with hatred, for now try not to control your anger" said Kaede. I was about to bite her, had Kagome not kept me under control. She only had to touch my shoulder and pure energy rushed through my body. Here I thought she was just a skimpy maiden in a tiny kimono, and then her priestess energy surged through me. What power, and it was so pure! I've crossed passed with monks, spiritualist, and even demon slayers, and not a single one of them gave off such pure energy. At least she was nice enough to give me back my trident for the night.

A trident made out of steel of unknown origins. According to what my mother said of it, my human grandfather crafted it under the name of many gods in India. She said to respect it as I would respect another warrior. Silver that gleamed in the light with scales of lost sea demons and creatures burned on it, and prayer beads of a dying monk tied on. All this for luck she said. It was the only thing she gave me before I was banished. Here I was lying down under the dark starry sky crying. Looking back at those horrible years, at least when I suffered I wasn't alone! Then a shadow covers the sky and ends up belly flopping me back to the present.

"Mizu-chan! Why are you crying?"says the black haired demon who refuses to remove herself from me. Murasaki-chan, the only friend I made when coming up to the surface, this hyperactive yet adorable cat demon has been the only thing keeping me from going mad with pure destruction. Her presence can be kind a pain, yet reassuring at times. "Mizu-chan! Quit staring into nothing and respond!", she then continues to pounce on me despite knowing she's crushing any chance of air entering my lungs. "Respond, respond, respond, or I'll go hide your trident again!" she kept on screaming into my ear. "Damn it you insolent cat I can hear you!" and I kick the adorable thing off me. Her black mane and tail go flying in the air, and then I catch the slightest glint of her purple eyes. I was officially screwed, instead of clawing off my dorsal fin, she runs through the night my trident in hand laughing. Damn cat! How did she move so bloody fast?

The chase was on and we were racing through the woods, I could smell the catnip and sun dried fish on her. Sadly though she knew I was near too. She may not be able to sense the movement of bodies and muscles like I do, but her ears are keen enough to hear the flutter of butterfly wings. Our sense of smell is right around even though, that's a disadvantage isn't it? I hope so, because it took me three days last time to catch this cat! Why the hell are cats so god damn stealthy? I chased her all the way to the lake and that negative energy hits me like a brick and makes me collapse to the ground shaking. Last time I sensed this energy it was almost soothing, now it was just downright painful to be near. Shit! Murasaki-chan is near the lake, her muscles on her tail just tensed up! She must be in the middle of being lured in! I got to stop it before the jewel destroys her like that kokanee! It hurts to walk but I have to, she has my trident and I can't stand to see another person I care for get hurt! Not like last time! I won't allow that to happen!
