InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Any one can love ❯ The Foreign Youkai ( Chapter 1 )

Inuyasha Fanfiction

Any one can love

 

Love is a strange thing, blissful yet painful, beautiful yet dangerous, enticing yet is avoided by some, and some are unfortunate to not find it in time. Still, every one is vulnerable to its addiction, even the lest likely of beings can fall prey to this strange emotion. What happens when Sesshoumaru finds him self snagged in nets of love? With little compassion, how will he act? Love is a strange thing…

 

(I don't own any Inuyasha characters, but I thought it would be fun to play with the characters a bit. I mostly pick on Sesshoumaru (not really) I put in a character of my own named Tsuyara… (The title may give you a clue to what the fic's about) but any way I hope you like it. Oh yeah… excuse my grammar I'm not that good at it. If you find something that's wrong feel free to inform me >.< and if there's anything that bothers you about the plot please tell me, I'll see if I can do something about it.)

 

Ch: 1 The Foreign Youkai

 

Inuyasha stood poised, with his Tessaiga in his hands, ready to fight his half brother Sesshoumaru. He stood adjacent from Inuyasha with his left hand dripping with poison. Running forward Sesshoumaru slashed at Inuyasha. The half demon dodged barely, and then struck with his Tessaiga…

 

An elfish looking woman staggered from tree to tree, soaked and dripping with deep crimson blood. She came to a clearing, there she saw faint images of two beings battling it out and others watching on the side lines… Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and the others. Trying to stay alert, she managed one word before she collapsed from loss of blood. “Help”

 

The fight came to a sudden halt. Everyone took a quick stare before running to her side, all but Sesshoumaru. The woman was a Youkai, no doubt about it, her ears were pointed like an elf, and her finger nails were sharp much like Inuyasha's. Her feet resembled cat paws. She had a tail, an odd tail… it was around maybe 10'ft long, black, with very snake like scales, at the tip was a golden blade shaped into an arrow head. On her back was a strange black mark that seemed to look like a cobra with dragon wings flying upward. On the hood of this snake was yet another snake, but red. It curved three times, and had dragon wings. Her hair was a golden white, and almost seem to glow in the amber light of the setting sun. She was wearing a red tie-on skirt, and a red tie-on shirt to match. Last, she was wearing a necklace with a gold chain, and hung on it was the same red symbol that was on her back, but black with a gold eye.

 

Sesshoumaru walked forward toward them with perfect posture, Inuyasha faced him with his sword still unsheathed.

“I'll kill you another day, Inuyasha” Sesshoumaru said as he passed Inuyasha. When he walked past the rest he looked down at the unconscious Youkai. Sesshoumaru paused for moment looking down at her. A new emotion flared on his face, he almost seemed intrigued. Inuyasha growled as he sheathed is Tessaiga, with that Sesshoumaru left.

“She's bleeding pretty badly, someone go get my back pack.” Kagome said in a rushed whisper, Sango stood up and went for Kagome's back pack.

“Wonder what happened” Inuyasha asked, he didn't sound sympathetic, just curious,

“Well she's still alive, we'll ask her when she wakes up” Kagome replied as Sango walked back with her back pack. While dressing the injured Youkai's wounds they were surprised by what they looked like.

“These look like they were inflicted by simple farm tools.” Miroku pointed out.

“But if that's the case, then how come she's so badly hurt? Why would a Youkai fall so easily to humans?” Sango asked. It was a really good question

“You know I've never seen this type of Youkai before,” Inuyasha stated.

“Well now that I think about it, neither have I.” Miroku said

“Same here” Sango added.

“Well I don't care what she is; this could be another one of Naraku's traps.” Inuyasha said stubbornly. Kagome looked at him annoyed.

“Do you always have to judged people as soon as you see them?” she asked.

“I'm only saying that it's possible…” he scowled, Kagome rolled her eyes

“Well we won't know till she wakes up will we?” she said. Inuyasha just continued to scowl and mumble.

 

The sun soon hid behind the horizon. As the Youkai woman slept, every one set up camp there for the night. Shipou was in charge of watching over her. After about 20 minutes the Youkai woke, she blinked a few times before she received full focus in her eyes. Shipou jumped back just a little, her eyes were deep crimson that seemed to gleam with the rising moon.

“Kagome! She woke up!” Shipou yelled with his childish voice. Every one rushed to Shipou and the other Youkai. But when the she caught a glance at Inuyasha and Miroku, she jumped up despite her wounds. Her already red eyes shone more red; she bared fangs, and held her claws in a striking position.

 

“Stay where you are, men…” she growled, they all stopped instantly,

“Calm down! Were not going to hurt you.” Sango assured, the Youkai glanced at her and Kagome

“Not you two, them! The men keep them away from me!” she snapped, Miroku smiled and approached her, talking one of her hands into his… bad idea.

“I assure you w…” he started, but the panicked Youkai slashed him deeply in the chest, she growled deeply but brokenly, sliding down and burying her head in her knees. A broken sob could be heard.

“Inuyasha, go tend to Miroku, we'll see what we can get out of her.” Kagome said, then looked at the Youkai harshly

“Now, tell me why did you do that? Were only trying to help you!” she snapped.

“Men are evil” the Youkai said in a shaky, broken whisper.

 

Inuyasha sat about 20 feet away from the girls with Miroku; helping him with the newly inflicted wounds.

“Damn, I wonder what her deal is. You all right Miroku?” Inuyasha said, looking at the Youkai.

“I'll live, she's probably only frightened, Inuyasha” Miroku said, cringing a little from pain. Inuyasha looked at him.

“Yah but she made it pretty damn clear that she didn't what us around.” Inuyasha pointed out.

“Good point” Miroku nodded. After a while of talking, Sango walked over to the boys.

“So?” Inuyasha demanded.

“Her name is Tsuyara. She said she's 17. Also she was adopted by humans at a young age, so she never grew up knowing how to be a Youkai” Sango stated

“Why did she attack Miroku?” Inuyasha asked annoyed.

“She doesn't trust men; in fact she's terrified of them. That's why she attacked you Miroku.”

“Ah I see,” Miroku said.

“Oh… and she was attacked by humans like we suspected.” Sango added

 

Just then Inuyasha sniffed the air. He walked toward the trees were Kagome and Tsuyara sat. His hands on the hilt of his sword.

“Keep down.” He growled “Sesshoumaru! I know your there!” he yelled. Inuyasha's suspicions were correct, Sesshoumaru willfully walked out into the firelight.

“What are you still doing here!?” Inuyasha demanded. Sesshoumaru glanced at Tsuyara.

“How long have you been here Sesshoumaru!?” Miroku warned. Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and sighed amusingly.

“I have no desire to fight you now, I'll be leaving.” He said. As he turned to walk away, he glanced again at Tsuyara, Inuyasha saw this, and saw a look of surprising bliss… at least that's what it appeared to be. The half demon raised a confused eyebrow at Sesshoumaru as he walked into shadows.

“What was that about?” Kagome asked

“No idea, that was definitely not like him.” Sango agreed.

“I have a hunch but just thinking it puts me out on a limb.” Inuyasha said to his self, but loud enough for all to hear.

“And what is this hunch of yours Inuyasha?” Miroku asked

“Never mind, its way too farfetched for him” Inuyasha answered.

“Who was that Kagome?” Tsuyara asked brokenly.

“That's Inuyasha's older half brother, Sesshoumaru. Stay clear of him.” Kagome answered her. Tsuyara gave Kagome a look as if to say `no problem!'

 

The next day they all traveled further, Tsuyara accompanied them, riding on Kirara's back, thus to rest from her wounds. After a while Tsuyara began to warm up to Inuyasha and the monk… though she still didn't let them come any where near her. But the nagging question still remained unanswered.

 

“Tsuyara, how come a Youkai like you fell in battle against humans so easily?” Sango asked, Tsuyara sighed.

“I'm normally a skilled fighter, but just recently I have become ill, at least that's the only word I have to explain it. My powers have weakened, and my mind becomes clouded at times especially when I fight.” She explained

“Do you have any idea as to why or how this happened?” Miroku took his turn for questions.

“A few days before a Youkai that wore a baboon pelt did something, and well it all leads to this.” Every one fell silent for a quick moment before Inuyasha spoke up.

“Naraku! That basterd. Do you know which way he went?” he asked.

“Sorry Inuyasha, he had knocked me out before he left,” she said with some guilt. Inuyasha growled silently

“Damn” he said

“Why did he attack you, it's not like him to attack someone with out any purpose” Miroku asked wonderingly.

“Well earlier that day, I had found this crystal, not sure what it was. When I ran into this so called `Naraku' he said that it was his and asked me for it, but…” she said

“But you panicked and ran because he was a man,” Shipou said. Tsuyara nodded and continued

“Yes, when I did, these strange insects came after me and that's all I remember. After I woke, the crystal was gone.” She sighed. Every one looked at her strangely. She must have been talking about a shard of the Shikon jewel.

“What?” Tsuyara asked quickly.

“Was that crystal by chance a shard of the Shikon jewel?” Miroku asked politely but with interest and suspicion.

“The what?” she asked. She had absolutely no idea what the Shikon No Tama was. Every one looked at her bewildered.

“Now this is interesting. A Youkai that doesn't know about the shards. This is a first.” Inuyasha said mockingly, Tsuyara sent him a glare.

“How do you not know what it is?” Shipou asked in curiosity.

“Well for one. I never grew up knowing how to be a Youkai. And also I'm not from Japan; I came here from Egypt a few years ago.”

“That explains a few things… like why we have never seen your type of Youkai before” Sango said.

 

They all explained the story behind the jewel to Tsuyara, then she even mentioned that while she was in possession of it she did feel stronger… finding the coincidence a bit funny.

 

Night finally came and the group stopped for the night. Tsuyara felt better by now from strange medicine that Kagome had given her. But she stayed with them, not feeling ready to leave on her own again.
