InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Wretched Romance! The True Story Of InuYasha's Mother ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

A wretched romance!

The true story of InuYasha's mother!

She watched him from afar, carelessly not watching what she was doing. The Lord, his mate, and 14-year-old son. She sighed.

`Oh, how I wish I could be the Lord's mate and have a family of my own with him. He is truly handsome and deserving of much more than that heartless wench.' She thought. It was know to all the servants of the Lord's manner that the Lord's mate was cruel and heartless. You were pitied if you were put on her staff along with the ones who's place you were taking, knowing that the ones place you take, is surely dead.

"Maemi!" Cho hissed at her.

She blinked and noticed a warm liquid running down her hand. Looking down she saw that the valuable Sayoki plant she was supposed to be de-pussing for the healers had burst, yellow puss covering her hand. She yelped in pain and the fact that the puss was making her skin bleed and burn.

"Cho!" She cried desperately as the pain intensified, causing tears to come to her eyes. "Help me! What do I do!"

"I don't know!" Cho said. She had been studying to become a healer at her village when the Inu-youkai had attacked her village taking every able-bodied man, woman, or child into slavery. "I didn't get a chance to study Sayoki!"

Maemi glanced at the Lord and his family, the only other souls near here. But something was amiss. Where was the young Prince Sheshomaru?

She felt her hand being lifted. Prince Sheshomaru was holding it gingerly in his hand.

"Here." He said sprinkling crushed Purple Heart leaves on her injured left hand. "This'll help. It's crushed Purple Heart. It'll stop the bleeding and burning and will counteract the poison that's managed to get into your blood stream."

"P-poison?" Maemi questioned, stuttering not only because she didn't know of the poison, but also because it was the first time a boy held her hand- and this is the Prince of the Western Lands!

"Yeah, its nothing really to worry about. It won't kill you, but it will put you through excruciating pain. I managed to dull the power and length of the pain but you're still in for a rough couple of days. You should really be more careful, especially when handling a dangerous plant like Sayoki. You see Sayoki is usually used by a torture devise by those who don't know all of its properties. But when mixed with the right ingredients it can make a powerful healing solution, poison, or any number of useful things. It's only considered rare and valuable because it grows only once every twenty-five years." Sheshomaru said. He looked up from her hand and gave her a warm smile.

Maemi blushed at his smile. "You're smart." She noted.

"No, I'm just good at my lessons." He said with a small laugh.

"Maemi…." Cho said a mix of horror and concern showing on her face, eyes locked on the bowl Maemi had been collecting the Sayoki puss in.

"What is it, Cho?" Maemi asked. She had almost forgotten she was there.

"Look in your bowl."

Maemi did and she too was horrified. There among the yellow puss was her blood. It was spreading, slowly staining the puss an ugly yellow-orange.

She would be punished severally.
