DEMON LAND

Disclaimer: I don't own or have rights to the Inu-Yasha series or any characters associated with it. I am just a guy trying to write some semi-interesting stories, when I am bored. All characters are based on the ones from the series but I take a look at how they could have been before all the events occurred in the series. Enjoy!

Recap: Inu Yasha is just a 15 year old boy with his childhood innocence untainted, enjoying his life. His mother asked him never to change, no matter what, and said that they may never meet again. His father told him that this would be the last time that he and his mother would see each other until he learned to use some of his basic demon skills and powers. In the end Sesshomaru, Inu Yasha (on his father's back) and their father departed from that land into their own.

Inu Yasha, Sesshomaru, and their father all finally arrive in the land that is dominated by demons. Inu Yasha admires the untouched landscape that is displayed before his eyes. The lushes green leaves on the tall trees, the jade green grass all around, and the clear night sky up above with sparkling stars and all. It was clear to Inu Yasha that the ground he stood upon was never viewed by human eyes, with the possible exception of his mother. Being a half human, half demon, Inu Yasha did not count as either, least not in his own eyes.

Sesshomaru:

"Inu Yasha! Why are you just standing there with your eyes wide and your mouth ajar? Did you break something in the transition from father's back to the ground?"

Father:

"Nay Sesshomaru. Inu Yasha has never witnessed the true beauty of mother nature before. All he has seen is the lands that have been used by humans."

Sesshomaru:

"What a moron! He can't even comprehend the greatness of demons? Can he truly not understand the superiority demons have over humans? … Aw yes, he is only a half demon after all and never truly knowing the ways of demons such as us father, how can he have ever seen such a place? Why is he allowed to view it now? He is still half human! He should not be allowed to set his filthy eyes upon this scared land!"

Father:

"That's enough Sesshomaru! You will respect your brother just as you respect me! He is our kin and I will not tolerate any further quarrels between the two of you! Both of you will become the most powerful demons ever known. However, we have a long ways to go before either of you realize the power that lies dormant inside you. Now it's time to get some rest; tomorrow the training begins!"

Finally knocked out of his gaze, Inu Yasha begins to comprehend what the conversation, that he lacked interest in, was about. He understood that no matter how he was treated by his parents, his half brother would never accept him; for being only a half demon.

Inu Yasha:

"But where do we sleep father? I don't see a house anywhere in sight! Maybe we are in the wrong place."

Father:

"No Inu Yasha. We are not in the wrong place; this is where we are going to sleep. We will sleep in the clear; under the shade of trees; under the midnight sky."

Inu Yasha:

"But where are our beds? Our blankets? Our pillows? How can we sleep without having these things?"

Sesshomaru:

"See father! This half demon is not even capable of handling the lifestyle of a demon! How do you expect him to handle the powers that we posses?"

Father:

"You let me worry about that Sesshomaru. Inu Yasha, we sleep on the grass; the wind will be our blanket; and the trees our shelter. Now it is late already. Get some sleep, for tomorrow we start our training."

All three take a spot in the clearing and begin to drift off to sleep. After a few minutes of uneasiness, Inu Yasha begins to coupe to his new surroundings and lifestyle.

After a couple of hours of sleep a small bird lands on Inu Yasha's silky moonlight-silver hair, causing Inu Yasha to stir awake.

Inu Yasha:

"What … Huh … Who … … … Oh. It's just you eh? I guess you followed us all the way from home huh? Well guess birdy soup would be a good waker upper in the morning, but now it is too early so come back in a few hours OK? I'll be sure to make you my morning snack! Now let me …"

Just then Inu Yasha's sensitive hearing picks up the beautiful, harmonious sounds of a girl humming in the distance. Curious, Inu Yasha quietly heads off into the direction of the sounds.

Girl:

"Hmm. Hmm. Hmm … Hmm. Hmm. Hmm …"

Creeping up to a safe distance, Inu Yasha sees a figure standing in the middle of the forest humming a tune that is unknown to him. Though the tune is not what intrigued him to come out this far in the night alone, it was the sound of the voice, or humming in this case, that brought him here.

Inu Yasha:

*What creature makes such a beautiful sound? I can't quite see this demon's face but I have this feeling inside that I don't understand. Why do I feel all tingly and weird in my chest? … I must get a closer look at her but I need to keep quite or she will surely see me and probably kill me.

Creeping up as quietly as a mouse (without the squeaking), Inu Yasha closed the gap between the lone figure in the dark and himself. Being a half demon had its perks. Inu Yasha had no problem seeing in the pitch darkness of the shadows under the trees of the forest. There was the occational moonbeam but that was faint. Still with no clear view at the face of the demoness he was looking at, Inu Yasha attempted to walk around and get a better view from a position that showed the girl's face.

Without taking his eyes off of the figure in the darkness, Inu Yasha unknowingly stepped out into a small path that led to the little clearing that the figure stood in. When he finally had a view of her face, his heart stopped a beat. There were two things that caused that heart to miss a beat: one was the fact that the girl he laid his eyes upon was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen; the second was the fact that the girl had shot an arrow that had lashed Inu Yasha's coat to the tree at his side. Inu Yasha remained pinned at the tree not moving an inch as the girl approached him caustiosly. Until he snapped out of his trance, which was when the girl was a foot before him, he did not attempt to free himself of the arrow.

Inu Yasha:

*Aww shit! This demoness could kill me here and now and all I have done is stare at her? What the hell am I doing? She must be able to place me under a trance or something because this has never happened to me before. But then again, I have never been to the demon land before either so I don't know if this is how all the girls here are. And why the hell do I have this odd feeling in my chest? I have never felt this before either. What is it? Another demon ability of hers?

Girl:

*What is wrong with this demon? He can't even break free of this little spell? Why is he here if he can't even escape from my bind spell? Must be a peon of some lower level servent or something. But I must say, he is kinda cute, even for a peon.

"Why do ye attempt to stalk me? Would ye have me as thy midnight meal? Ye can't even avoid a simple spell like that and ye believe that ye can kill me?"

His mouth wide open again, this time because of the beauty of the girl infront of him, Inu Yasha cannot seem to get his brain to function properly. Again he stops struggling to free himself and just stares at the girl with awe.

Well I'm done this chapter, lol. I got lazy again so I am gonna cut it here. Plus, it is already kinda long. I'll finish it sometime later so hopefully you all wont' be pissed at me, lol. Oh well. If you still want to read these then find out whom this girl is that can steal Inu Yasha's breathe and heart beat; next time in: Love?.
