Inuforlyf

The Hunt

August 22, 2007

Summary: Kagome and Kikyou's mother is gone, kidnapped. Their father hears this and asks three Inu youkai, his friends, to look for the lady of their village. However, a deal is made. For the youkai to look for his wife, one of the sons of the eldest youkai must wed with one of the two daughters, who are Miko. Miko are known to purify the demons and hold nearly no nice feelings for the youkai kind. Unfortunately they learn a secret that can very well ruin their life if they are to mate with a demon. Hearing they must wed with one they run, thus beginning the hunt.

Kikyou ran as much as she could and then stopped abruptly, she was heading back home! She looked down and saw the dress she had discarded earlier, she spun around and froze. There standing in front of her was a baboon pelt larger then herself.

"Little Miko, what are you doing so far from home?" It said and Kikyou narrowed her eyes, he had a demonic aura.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" She asked it bringing her bow up and picking an arrow from the bunch she had.

"Who am I? Your master, what do I want from you? Your heart, soul, and body." He told her and before she could have launched an arrow, a green tentacle shot out from him and went into her.. She let out scream as she dropped down to the ground.

"Yes, scream for me…" it said and Kikyou saw black.

The two young ones walked right into the barrier hand in hand. They headed in and passed a smaller village filled with stuffy generals and their families. The village was a rich one and was protected by the lord, obviously.

They walked farther and the hunger they had cast away two days before attacked them. "Gosh Rin, your stomach is louder than my dad's growl!" Shippo joked as Rin smiled shyly.

"It's not Rin's fault, we haven't eaten."

"Well, you're the one who held the money."

"But if you had not pushed Rin-" She froze. They were so close to the lord's home. A majestic man came out with annoyance on his features.

"Rin, look, he looks rich.'"

"Well duh, only the rich probably live here and he had come from the Lord's castle maybe he can-"

"Maybe we can swipe some money off him." Rin eyed her friend.

"You sneaky little fox, we will not." Her words were lost to deft ears. Shippo was already walking up to him. 'Dear Kami, what did this Rin do to deserve this?' She thought and went the other way also walking to the man.

'Oddly tall if you ask me…' Rin thought as she reached behind the man while Shippo was distracting him.

"Please, ye lordship, can you spare a copper, maybe gold for a starving boy?" Shippo asked, more like begged. The man growled, 'That was certainly not normal. And look at those god-like eyes, are they human?' Rin wondered and came closer, just a little bit.

"Don't beg," the man with long silk silver for hair told Shippo. "You shame yourself."

"Please sire…" Shippo continued to whine and scrape, blocking the gentleman's way. Rin passing by on the outside, pretended to stumble over a loose cobblestone. She fell heavily against the man, her hands moving with speed she had not known to have possessed, maybe the excitement of it all. She mumbled an apology. As quick as the wind, her right hand slid into the pocket of his hakama and emerged with a satisfying heavy purse. Then she reeled against him again as though she had not quite recovered her balance, while her fingers closed over his watch.

A small smile came across the fox as he watched his adopted sister. Rin withdrew her hand.

"How in the world-" The voice was cold and hard enough to send shivers down her spine. It unnerved her more than the hard hand that closed like an iron band around her wrist.

"Oh Kami, I see now why you are punishing me… I am a bad thief."

"Run, Shippo!" She shrieked, but of course Shippo did nothing. Shippo's eyes widened as he took her in plight. He stared at her for a single wild instant, horror plain on his face.

"Let her go!" He shouted and began punching at the tall man.

The man used his other hand and grabbed hold of Shippo's tail. Rin's eyes widened in realization, he had claws! The man was a demon. "Youkai…" she whispered.

"Let go!" Shippo Shouted before smelling a smoky smell. He took a glance at his tail and saw it was burning. Green juice was oozing out of the man's nails. He gasped; there was only one man who could have done that.

He looked back up and noted it was indeed, Lord Sesshomaru Takanashi, Prince of the Western Lands. Now what was he doing here?

Kagome smirked as she noted the look on the wolf's face. So much confusion, but then she tensed up. An ear shattering scream was in the air and as quickly as it came it left. "Kikyou," she let her sister's name escape her lips just to let the youkai know her location a few feet away from his person.

"Now, who's that little human boy? Your girlfriend? Maybe I should get her first." He said and made a mad dash into the woods where Kikyou had run. 'NO!' Kagome thought and ran at a slower speed into the woods.

She ran and ran before she froze at the sight. There was blood on the ground… Kikyou she thought. She fell to the ground and let out a cry. That wolf came up behind her and grabbed her invisible throat. Kagome pulled in little air and began banging Koga's arm.

"Show yourself," he said and Kagome did nothing to argue she simply took off the charm and the no scent charm as well.

Koga gasped and dropped her to the ground, "You're a girl."

Kagome took in deep breaths and just let the tears come out of her eyes. She looked up once more to see the blood splatter on the ground but then, there was no body.. She shook her head fast and hard not believing her sister's fate. She crawled towards the fallen arrows and the bow on the ground.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" The demon asked and grabbed hold of her hair. She sucked in some air trying to hold back a scream from her burning skull. A headache was forming and her eyes were become more blurry. She slipped her hand into her pocket and felt her dagger. She pulled it out and blindly swiped it at where the hand that was holding her hair might have been.

She heard a satisfying shout and the wolf let her hair go. She sprinted into the woods going the opposite way from the stream. Her eyes were completely failing her and she just ran with her eyes closed.

Of course that was stupid for she ran smack dab onto something letting out a loud long cry of fear before she passed out.

Sesshomaru had just walked out of the castle when a kitsune just began begging for money. At that moment, he knew it was up to something. His nose was bum rushed with the scent of humans so he could not pin point any one. Without knowing, a small thing ran into him and he felt little fingers run into his pocket.

His eyebrow twitched. 'How dare it touch this Sesshomaru's person?' He let his anger pour out and he grabbed them both planning on killing them. He hadn't even heard the protests. He let his poison ooze out and he heard a cry. He let it stop and looked at the fox. The scream hadn't come from him, but even so he let the poison stop threatening the kitsune's tail.

"Come," he said. He did not know what possessed him to tell them to follow but he did, and besides he had a tight grip on them, where would they go?

They let out whimpers and he couldn't help but sneer.

Kagome woke up after what seemed to be a few minutes. She opened her eyes to see a lovely purple pupil staring back at her. She couldn't help but scream.

"Now, now mother, no point in shouting."

"Mother?"

Yah that's all for this chappie
