[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

The man in black scowled at the woman before him. He was tempted to cut the woman in half for her impudence. How dare she walk into his lair without consent. Though she pleaded with him that it was of direr importance, he had no interest nor the patience for fools.

The woman was on her knees begging him for his mercy, which caused the man to smirk. If she had only waited for his guards to grant her entrance instead of barging in and making a scene, she might have had a chance to walk out of here with her life. “Please sir, I beg you. I did not mean any disrespect. I merely wanted you to spare the life of my son. He’s caused no harm for he’s only a boy. Please, you must not kill him just because he is different.”

Kill her son? What was this woman going on about? Was she not aware that it was her own life that she should be concerned about? He made eye contact with the guard at the door and waved for him to come to him. The guard quickly made his way over to the man, knowing that any dawdling would cost him his life. “Yes sir?” he asked in a hushed tone.

“What is this wench going on about?” The man did not keep his voice down. He would make sure the woman heard every unpleasant word he said.

“Her son is part demon, sir. On your order, we were sent to kill it, for you wished for us to destroy anything that did not deserve a place in this world.” The guard stood tall as the man took in the new information.

So it seemed that the wench before him had mated with a demon. How despicable. She should die along with her son. The man peered over at the guard and narrowed his gaze. “Go fetch the boy. I wish to kill it in front of its mother.”

As the guard strode across the room, the woman’s pleas increased. “No, please, have mercy! He’s just a little boy!” Her wails increased as the guard reentered dragging a little boy with long silver hair and two doglike ears nestled behind his bangs to the man who was about to end his life. “Please, don’t hurt my baby!”

When the boy was in reach, the man stretched out his arm and took hold of the boy around his neck. “Let this be a lesson to you, bitch, that no woman should settle for a demon.” The man tightened his fingers around the boy’s neck. The boy’s claws scraped at the mans knuckles, but were too underdeveloped to do much damage. The man studied the boy’s pained expressed face considering all the possibilities this one demon could do when he was full grown. He could be a real killing machine. One that would make him the most feared man in the whole country. The man suddenly let go of the boy and watched him fall to the floor.

The woman sighed with relief. “Oh thank Kami! InuYasha are you alright?” The boy was crouched on the stone floor couching as he tried to regain the breath he had lost.

“Kill the mother.” the man ordered to the guard and a gasp escaped the woman’s lips. The guard pulled out his sword and proceeded toward the woman. She covered her mouth with her hand as she tried to keep the tears in her eyes at bay.

She turned to the man, who did nothing but watch her killer come closer. “Please. Don’t do this!”

The man did nothing to call off the armed guard. The next sound to be heard was the woman’s shrill cry and her blood hitting the floor. “Mother, no!” the boy shouted as he reached out a hand toward the body on the floor.

The man’s gaze shifted toward the hunched over form of the crying boy. “Lock him up.” He didn’t stay to see the guard roughly grab the boy by the scruff of his shirt. He knew that his order would be carried out.

He walked down the long corridor contemplating the ideas in his head. The demon, he knew, was only a half-breed, but with enough training it was possible for it to become more powerful than any full breed. He chuckled to himself as he pushed opened the door to his bedroom. Tied to his bed was a very nude woman with her eyes wide. He sauntered over to the maiden and smiled evilly. What a beautiful piece of meat she was. He laid down beside the scared woman and ran a finger down her arm. “If you corporate you might just get to live to see the next day.”

The gasp the woman let out against the gag in her mouth was shortly followed by a deathly scream as the man clawed her stomach. Even with his stubby nails he was able to draw blood. “Scream all you like. No one will come for you.” Tears streamed down her face as she watched the man pull a dagger out of his coat pocket. He tenderly skimmed the blade across the woman’s stomach. Teasing her senses. She cried out each time he tilted the knife enough to knick her flesh with the tip. Tonight would be a slow tortuous death for the woman underneath him, but he would be sure not to let her die before he had his fill.

He chuckled as he continued his ministrations. Yes, tonight he would have his fun for tomorrow would be the first step to taking over the kingdom. What a wonderful opportunity this day had turned out to be.
