It’s been a week and three days since Kohaku left and my mind has been drifting to many things with all the free thinking time I’ve had. First of all to the only lie I told him. Saying I was only thirteen lowered his guard but it was a bad move to make seeing as I’ve fallen for him whihc is my second realization. I don’t know how he’ll take the fact that I’m fifteen
Yes I say I’ve fallen for him and I mean it. I never thought I would love anyone because loving is against my nature but I guess love is something that happens to everyone. If it can happen to someone as cold as I am then it can most surely happen to anyone.
I heard something in the distance and sniffed to get a scent. I smiled as I recognized it. “Welcome back Kohaku.” I called out.
“How did you know it was me?” He asked, jumping from a tree and landing in front of me.
“I’ve eaten about twelve more demons since you were left me and also once tends to remember the details of the one they love.” I said slowly, trying not to sound nervous when I confessed my love to him.
“So you’re saying you love me?” Kohaku asked as sat down on the ground in front of me.
I went down in to a sitting position as well and said “Yes it’s true but first there one confession I have to make. It’s that I’ve lied to you once and only once. It’s a small lie but it might effect your decision. I’m not thirteen. I’m actually fifteen.”
He smiled that smile and said “That wouldn’t of made any difference to me but I’m glad you decided to be honest. My answer is that I return your feelings.”
I took him in my arms and kissed him on the lips. Not a light brushing like before but an actual kiss. I opened my mouth and ran my tongue along his bottom lip. He opened his mouth and I slid my tongue inside. He tasted like something sweet but also something that I could only identify as just him.
I pulled away and looked at him. I saw he was smiling at me and I returned it.
“About damn time you learn how to smile.” He said.
I gave him a nod and said “Love makes you do some crazy things.”
He laughed and said “There’s nothing crazy about smiling especially when you’re in love. Being in love is a good thing and it makes you happy. A smile shows happiness. Then again a smile can be a thing for just about anything.”
“What do you mean by that?” I asked him.
“Most of the time my smile is a mask. It’s a mask of fake happiness to cover my evil deeds I’ve committed under the service of Naraku. I don’t regret what I’ve done though.” Kohaku said as he took my hand.
“What’s your next mission?” I asked Kohaku.
“Naraku has requested an acquaintance with the sword smith who created his sword. He had trouble believing it was created by a human younger then myself who gained power from killing and eating demons. He would like to meet you and he says he has quite the treat for you.” He said as he led me down a trail.
“Tell me about Naraku. I’ve only heard from my sister and the mutt about him. I want to hear about him from a servant and a friend of his.” I said as I walked past a group of people who were giving us odd looks.
“He’s a great and powerful demon who rewards loyalty and a job well done but as one of his other servants learned the hard way he doesn’t take betrayal lightly.” Kohaku said and his smile disappeared.
“What happened to him and was it someone you cared for in any way?” I asked wanting to know more.
“She tried to get someone to kill Naraku which was a foolish thing because she was an incarnation of him. He absorbed her back in to his body and he is now stronger then he was before and she’s gone. I did like to spend time with her and we were at one point lovers but she’s gone now and I wish I never spent any time at all with knowing that she was planing to kill the one who gave her life. She was an ungrateful bitch and the castle is better off without her.” He said.
We walked in silence until we heard screams. I looked and saw a large white dog destroying a village.
“It’s Sesshomaru. He’s an angry and insane dog demon. Inuyasha’s older brother. He had a young human girl he kept as a companion but she was killed by a human thief and since then he baled all humans. He has no purpose or alliances. An enemy to Naraku and just about everyone else.” Kohaku said wish a shudder.
“Shall we kill him then?” I asked as I summoned my armor.
“He scares me. It’s not something I like to admit but he does. I’ll stay back here and get you if things start to look bad.” Kohaku said as he headed for the trees
I ran at the giant dog and drew out my sword. “Sesshomaru I challenge you in the name of Naraku!” I shouted.
He turned in to a beauty of man and I wondered how dangerous he could be in this form. He drew out a long sword and pointed it at me.
“You, a human, are choosing to take a side with a demon who cares for nothing and nobody but himself. You are more of a piece of trash the my half breed brother. I’m going to enjoy killing you.” Sesshomaru said as he swung his sword at me.
I blocked it but had to use both hands. Unlike fighting Inuyasha I was going to have to put out a lot of effort to win this battle.
I jumped back and summoned the power of fire and lit the blade of my sword. I swung it rapidly sending a storm of fireballs at Sesshomaru.
He quickly dodged ever fireball I sent at him and laughed at me. “You’re going to have to try harder then that to hurt me human.” Shsshomaru said as he charged me.
I brought my blade up and was barely able to block his slash. He was far stronger and faster then he appeared to be in the beginning of our fight but I wonder how smart he was.
I pretended to attempt to force his blade away from me while I summoned hands of earth from the ground to grab his legs and hold him in place.
“Look down.” I laughed as I jumped away from him.
“Filthy wizard.” He said as he tried to break free of the hands of magical rock that were around his legs.
“No use breaking free.” I said as I once again lit the blade of my sword and sent a storm of fireballs at him.
I heard him yelp as they hit him. I laughed as I sent another storm at him drawing more yelps of pain. I stopped and smiled at him.
“As delicious as you may be I’m not really hungry at the time. I think I’ll be fine with just arm.” I said as I smiled at him.
He tried to reach for the sword that he dropped but couldn’t. I had injured him too much for him to fight.
“I’m thinking two things Sesshomaru. The first is that I kill you, take your swords, eat one of your arms, and let your corpse burn for everyone to smell. The second one which I think I’ll do is this.”
“I’ll cut off both of your arms. One for my lunch and one to give to Naraku as proof that I can hold my own against a powerful demon lord.” I said as I sliced his arms off. They fell to the ground and I smiled as he let out a how of pain.
“I’m in a good mood right now. I’ll burn them shut so you don’t bleed to death.” I said as I flung a small fireball in to each of his shoulders drawing out another howl of pain from him.
“Next I’m going to take your swords.” I said as I took them. I held up the Tokygen and smiled. “A very powerful blade made from the fangs of one of Naraku’s incarnations if I recall correctly. It would do well to nod or shake your head.” I said.
Sesshomaru gave a nod.
I retrieved his other sword and said “The Tensiga. The sword that can recover a hundred lives in a single swing. Also the only thing that’s kept you alive for this long. Your brother just might kill you out of pity next time he sees you. I bid you farewell Lord Sesshomaru. I just remembered to tell you my name is Souta Higurashi.”
I put the swords at my belt and walked back over to were Kohaku was hiding in a tree. “He’s harmless now. He has no arms, can’t move from he’s standing and I took his swords.”
Kohaku jumped from the tree and drew me in to a hug. He kissed me on the cheek and said “I feel safer around you then I do even around Naraku.”
I smiled back and said “I’m just having a little fun is all. Picking off your’s and Naraku’s enemies seems to be a big play day.”
“Let’s get back on our way then.” Kohaku said.
“I have to eat first. Shame I have to save one of these arms for Naraku. Sesshomaru smelled great when I was hitting him with the fireballs.” I said as I quickly cooked an arm.
“You can eat them both. He can tell when someone is telling him a lie or telling him the truth.” Kohaku said.
“Looks like I’m having a big lunch then.” I said as I cooked the other arm.
I ate the two arms. They were the sweetest meat I had ever eaten. Not only that but I was able to chew on them for several minutes because of the muscle that was inside of them.
When I had eaten everything but the bones I tossed them in the air and used the wind to make them in several small throwing stars. I put them in a pouch of my robe after I had sent my armor away.
“Now I’m ready to get back on the way.” I said as I took Kohaku’s hand and we resumed our walk to Naraku’s castle.
Yes I say I’ve fallen for him and I mean it. I never thought I would love anyone because loving is against my nature but I guess love is something that happens to everyone. If it can happen to someone as cold as I am then it can most surely happen to anyone.
