InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Fate ❯ Her ( Epilogue )

 

Chapter One: Her

 

 

 

The darkness seeped into the land like a hollow scar upon the world of men and demon. The lush green of the day, brought about by the mindless sun, smiled and shined upon a single figure nestled like a child in the branches of a large tree. Silver hair masses from childish games and large amber hues that burned like the beating sun. The small boy, a mere age of five, smile listlessly as small birds chirped and chimed their soft calls of peace and love. Small puppy like ears twitched and turned towards the sound of soft footsteps. “Inuyasha?!” Someone called with a soft voice the echoed as sweet and soft as small wind chimes.

The small pup gazed down words towards the woman that called his name. A stunning ray of long black hair raced down her back, ending well near her knees. A soft pale face turned upwards as a small giggling filled the air. Scarlet colored eyes stared at the young pup as a small graced black painted lips. “Oi! Inuyashsa…Come down from their…. your mother's looking for you..” She complained as she crossed her arms over her black kimono. The small child frowned before climbing down, his crimson kimono snagging here and there, causing the woman to reach up and help the young one down.

Taking the child's hand the woman lead him towards a beaming castle, gray stoned walls towered high above the forest canopy. “Nee-san?” The little boy questioned earning a soft laughter from the woman. “Inuyasha…you know I'm not your Nee-san sweetie…” The small half-breed formed a pout that could rival against anything. His soft pink lips curdled down words, with his bottom lip puckered out. A sigh escaped the woman. “Alright…alright….call me what you like..” She mumbled as she shook her head aimlessly. The small inu giggled as he pulled the woman slight forward.

“Nee-san? What are we doing today?”

“Well we're going off into the forest with your Onee-san..”

“Do we have to!” Inuyasha complained as he rolled his head to the side. He knew his elder brother didn't like him very much so the mere thought of even going near the guy bothered the small distained boy. Laughing graceless the woman shook her head. “Relax little one….its only for lunch then I shall play any game you wish.” A smile formed at those words as Inuyasha nodded eagerly.

 

The afternoon began to pass with little worry or concern. Sesshomaru was thoroughly pissed as he could be at the moment. Sitting leaned solemnly against a large cherry blossom tree, watching his young brother play with that woman. Ever since she had come to their home he had done nothing but disliked her. Sure she was a pretty person, any demon of her nature was, but the fact of the matter was she was here, and bothering him to no end. “Quiet pouting Sessy and come play with us!” She called with a carefree smile.

This was one of the many things he hated about her. She spoke like that to anyone, and he meant anyone, even his father. Sesshomaru himself had been looked at as a strong person, a person that could raise the dead then kill them all over again with a single glare. Yet, she never batted an eye at his glares and even smiled at him when he growled. She was simply a complex creature, or…extremely idiotic.

Ignoring her call once more, the woman merely rolled her eyes before she continued to play with the happy little pup. She was truly strange, she was no more then a few years older then Inuyashsa and was younger then Sesshomaru by a good handful of years yet she acted as if she was older then the both of them sometimes. He truly hated his father for her coming here.

 

Flashback

”Sesshomaru…” A strong, firm voice called to his eldest son. The longhaired boy listened aimlessly as he stared into the deep forest. “Listen to me..” His father stated darkly to the young silver haired demon teen. “A girl is coming to stay with us for the time being….”

“Why…” Was all Sesshomaru had asked. His dark amber hues locked on his father, who crudely mirrored his younger brother, whom he hated with the utmost pleasure.

“She is to become either yours or…Inuyasha future indented…” His father had spoken with a firm grin. “She is a kind demon…I have met her already..and a rare blood mix….last of her kind…'

Sesshomaru growled lowly at those words. For the past year and a half he had been forced to meet several other demoness near his age so he could choose his future intendment. He hated the idea and wanted nothing more to do with this thought.

End Flashback

 

Shacking his head of silver hair Sesshomaru sighed aimlessly. A deadly claw rose to starch at one of the dark purple demon markings he had gained due to his full-blooded nature. The demoness before him seemed to be nothing short of a human, though her blood screamed she was little more then a half breed. Quarter human maybe…he wasn't sure yet. He could still remember when she came…which was a few months ago.

 

Flashback

Sesshomaru stood silently besides his father and his younger brother. The half-breed's human mother stood to the other side of their father. The gates had opened as a young woman walked forward. Her hair was a strange shade of scarlet; it matched her eyes and kimono perfectly. Next to her was a handsome gentleman with fine black locks and a firm builds. His strong black hues never strayed from the family before him. The man was Lord Hiroki for the Northern kingdom. His love, his mate Mikame bowed gently to them.

Inuyasha was the first to take notice of the girl that stood behind Hiroki. Her smile was a pretty image as she stepped forward and bowed with her family. “Lord Inutayasha…. this is our daughter….” He stated happily. “I hope she will be no trouble for you..” Mikame finished with a gentle smile. Sesshomaru realized that this girl was strange the second the three were left alone. Her hands were folded delicately behind her back as she stood there. “Its good to met you Sesshomaru…. Inuyasha.” The little inu pup merely smiled before clasping her hand. “Wanna play!?” he questioned happily.

The young woman had merely laughed heart fully before nodding. “Sure…” Sesshomaru shook his head and turned to walk away before something clasped his right hand. It startled him though he refused to show it. “What are you doing?” He questioned the girl as she gave a firm tug. “Come on we're going to play.” She spoke as she half pulled Sesshomaru forward. He hadn't expected her to move so quickly, growling lowly he pulled his hand from her's. “I do not wish to.' play' with you..” He growled before he felt a firm tug on his sensitive pointed ear. “Oi” The girl explained holding Sesshomaru by his ear, pulling sharply she shook her head. “Your being stubborn..” She explained as her hand was slapped away. “Keep your hands off me disgusting mixed breed…” She frowned at him, crossing her arms firmly across her half developed chest. “Oh…” She smirked as she leaned forward on her toes. A light pressure pushed against Sesshomaru lips as a stunned Inuyasha gasped at the sight. Sesshomaru growled as she pulled back. “You need to learn to have fun….hehe.” She giggled before pulling Inuyasha off with her.
End Flashback

 

Sesshomaru growled lowly at the memory. He hated her for so many reasons. She was defiantly strange. Shacking his head the demon turned his head towards the skies, a slight twitch of his nose claimed that something was coming this way. An essence in the air claimed of power and the scent of blood was strong. Standing to his feet he stared out into the grass meadow where Inuyasha now stood behind the taller girl. Her nose twitching with an unmarked cuteness.

Growling lowly she hunched slightly in a defensive manner. It was clear that her instincts were fully developed as a firm protector. “Inu..” She whispered as the small boy looked up at her. “Go home…” She hissed through her sharp fangs. Inu shivered in fear as he backed up. He never got to steps before the scent of blood hit full on. The bushes nearest the forest edge crumbled with the force of a band of demons.

Scarred and bloodthirstily they stared at the three with glistening fangs and claws. Sesshomaru frowned as he stood beside the strange girl. He was sure his father would be displeased if she was harmed in anyway, though he could honestly care less for the well being of the woman. The band of six or so demons charged all at once at the half-breed, demon, and girl. A blood-curdling scream echoed as one demon was cut down, followed by another, then another. Sesshomaru stared aimlessly as he ushered his whip back to him, the girl next him stood waiting for the next attack. Her claws covered in blood.

He never noticed how strong she seemed to be. The look of determination and fearless possessiveness echoed in the hollows of her scarlet hues. “Sesshomaru!” She called drawing his attention to a charging demon. Lifting his hand he was near ready to cut its head clear from its shoulders. Before he could strike the corner of his eyes caught a sight another demon ready to sink its claws into his unmarred flesh. Striking the demon before him he never got a chance to turn to face the other before blood field his sense.

Yet…it wasn't his blood that lingered in the air. The girl stood before him her left hand thrust into the bowels of the demon's guts. The demon's weapon, a sharpened, rusted dagger had marked a firm line over her eyes. Blood pooled down her cheeks dripping from her chin and staining the ground. A howl echoed a foreign command before a purple mist spread through the area. Covering his nose and mouth with the sleeve of his kimono Sesshomaru heard something he never wished to hear again.

A scream echoed in the wake of the mist and blood masked the air. Coughing harshly Sesshomaru closed his eyes waking for the mist to fade and the world to become clear. Opening his eyes he froze at the sight before him. There he stood alone with his cowering little half brother, the grass for a good six-yard was stained in blood. The demons and…the girl were gone. Amber hues blinked in near disbelieve as his nose tilted to the skies to sniff the air. Nothing, her scent, their scent….gone…she …was gone.

“Naa-san..” Inuyasha whispered before a cry escaped his lips, tears tracing the lines of his thin face. Sesshomaru's being shook slightly with an unknown force. This was the first time he had seen such a sight, he was still to young to enter battle, but here he was with blood upon his kimono. It honestly hurt…hurt his soul to see the sweet soul torn away so fiercely. She was a strange girl; she was strange and beautiful, strange, beautiful, strong…and…so familiar. It dawned on Sesshomaru why he had hated the girl from the second he saw her, from the second she talked to him, smiled at him, kissed him, she…was similar to his mother, but different, yes different but she reminded him of his long dead mother, that's why he hated her.
“…Ai…” He whispered softly.
