Name of Chapter: Encounter

…

"I am sick of this forest!" I growled, feeling like I've been walking in circles for days. Literally. I've been in the forest for about three days now. And I was in trouble. Why you may ask. Well, I was almost out of food. I had enough to last me maybe a day or two.

If I was lucky.

And another trouble of mine, I'm pretty sure I was getting a sickness from not drinking enough water. I think my grandmother called it dehydration or something. My vision was sometimes blurry and I felt dizzy. But couldn't stop. I had to keep moving forward.

I was terrified my parents or the other villagers might find me. So I had to keep going. I didn't want to go back to the village and be married to that cry baby Kyo. I just wouldn't.

I grunted, tripping over tree branches and landing on the ground.

"Ugh," I said, laying my forehead on the dirt, planning on resting a bit. I was tired. I spent the last few days sleeping during the day and traveling during the night. But when I slept, it was for about an hour or two. I woke up when I heard rustling or when I couldn't get comfortable. I was always on guard for demons.

My family must be worried about me, I thought then quickly got rid of it. No. They couldn't care less about me. They didn't want my happiness. They are probably having celebrations because of my disappearance.

Tears clouded my vision. I tried blinking them away but they wouldn't disappear. They just kept coming back. I hate to admit it, but I missed my family. I missed my brothers Kale, Ryei, and Juk.

What was I thinking running away from home? I have to be losing my mind. Maybe I should return home and marry Kyo.

No.

There I go again, letting my damn human emotions get the best of me! I cried out in frustration, wiping away my tears and standing up. I had to keep moving. I had to get for away from this area. I felt like I was too close to the village.

I began walking again, this time going faster. Soon, I came to a medium sized clearing and stopped dead in my tracks. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of him.

A demon.

He had long silver hair that fell to his knees and something fluffy over his right shoulder. He was facing away from me so I couldn't make out his face. But I knew he was a demon from the color of his hair.

"Human." I jumped at his voice. It sounded so cold and stoic.

"Demon." I replied shortly, which probably wasn't a good reply. But I am speaking the truth.

He turned around to face me so I got a better look at his face. He had cold golden eyes, a blue crescent moon on his forehead with magenta jagged stripes on his cheeks. He wore a white kimono with a matching hakama and black boots. His armor was held on to him by a yellow and purple obi. Overall, he looked powerful.

And handsome, I thought. But what he said next made me rethink it.

"Die." He whispered, raising his clawed hand to me. My vision started going fuzzy then so I didn't his claws glow green with poison. I gasped, ducking to avoid his claws.

"You are all ready trying to kill me!" I yelled, taking a step back as he swung at me again with his claws. "For no reason!"

"You're a human." He said, his golden eyes narrowed and swung at me again. "I despise humans."

"Oof," I exclaimed as I slammed into a tree to get away from the demon and his deadly claws. I panted, my vision going in and out. I was going to pass out soon. I looked at him, wondering what he was going to do next.

"You smell like sickness." He stated. I rolled my eyes.

"That's why I hate being human." I told him. "We get sick so easily. And we're weak."

That's when I passed out.

…

When I woke up, it was nighttime. I groaned, sitting up and resting my head on my knee. My head was pounding, like horses were galloping inside of it.

"You're awake, human."

I recognized that voice from the demon that tried killing me earlier. I looked at him. He was sitting at the base of a large tree and looking a head of him. He looked so calm and serene.

"My name isn't human, demon." I replied. "It's Misa."

His icy golden eyes flickered to me in a glare.

"You do not fear me." It wasn't a question. It was a statement. Of course I didn't fear him.

"No. I want to be a demon." I said. "So why should I fear you?"

"Hn." Was his reply.

"Why you insolent human!" A toad demon yelled at me. His skin was olive green and his yellow eyes were big as the bowl in his tiny hands, that I noticed had three fingers on each hand. If he wasn't so serious, I would have laughed at him. "You dare not fear the great dog Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Jaken." The demon, Lord Sesshomaru, warned. The little toad demon, Jaken, stiffened and fear was in his yellow eyes.

"Here." He grumbled, handing me the bowl.

"What is this?" I asked. It was clear so I assumed it was water. "Did you poison it?"

The little toad demon growled. "How dare you suggest a stupid idea! Lord Sesshomaru was-"

He was cut off by said demon glaring at him.

"Just drink it, human." The little toad demon grumbled again and I shrugged.

"Well, here's to my death," I jested and drank the water. It was surprisingly sweet and my head stopped pounding.

"Why do you wish to become a demon?" Sesshomaru asked when I finished drinking the sweet water. I wasn't going to call him lord until I knew more about him.

"I hate being human." I said. "We are overrun by our emotions. We can die by one little accident. We get sick easily and sometimes can't get over it. I've watched five close friends of mine die from being sick. Along with my grandparents." I was telling him this because I thought I owed it to him for saving me. And not killing me.

He nodded to show he was listening to me.

"We can easily get hurt, also." I continued, starring at the empty bowl in my hands. "Whether it's by someone breaking your heart or physically injuring you. I've had both. We enjoy others pain and laugh at it. We don't care for anyone but ourselves. We're selfish." I smiled at Sesshomaru. "But I know you all ready know all of this."

He nodded again.

"You ran away." Again, it wasn't a question. Just a statement.

"How did you know that?" I asked, surprised. He indicated towards my almost empty bag and Nara. "Oh. Right."

"Why did you run?" He asked.

I sighed heavily.

"My parents are forcing me to marry some boy I do not love nor like." I replied. "They don't care for my happiness. So, I thought it would be best if I ran." I looked at him. I couldn't get over how handsome he was.

"That was about four days ago." I continued, a small smile on my lips. "I've been wondering in the forest since, terrified someone might find me and drag me back to my village and force me to wed him."

"Hn. Humans are pathetic." Sesshomaru said and I laughed a little.

"Yes." He seemed mildly surprised I was agreeing with him.

We sat in a strange silence for a while. The little toad demon sending me glares. It was clear as day he didn't like me.

Maybe it's because of my humanity, I mused.

I turned to look at Sesshomaru, who hasn't moved an inch.

"Would you mind if I traveled with you?" I nervously asked, trying not to bit my lip. I needed to be strong. Like any other demon.

"WHAT?" The toad screamed. "That is a foolish question, human! You dare ask the great Lord Sesshomaru to accompany him on his journey?"

"I don't have anywhere else to go and I am not going back to that village." I continued as if I didn't hear the toad. "Please may I travel with you? I promise to defend myself."

"Silence, Jaken." Sesshomaru said as Jaken continued to rant about how bad it would be if I traveled with them.

Jaken stopped in mid-word and looked fearful for his life.

"Yes, milord." He said, bowing to the ground.

Sesshomaru looked at me. Analyzing me, I guessed.

"You may come." He said and I refrained from squealing. "There will be danger and you must fend for yourself. I will not protect you."

"I know." I said, trying to keep my voice calm. A new emotion stirred within myself. Something unfamiliar. I guess it was the feeling of being free. I no longer had to return to the village and marry Kyo and obey someone else's orders. I could be myself. And I could travel with a demon even.

Something I've always wanted.

To Be Continued…
