For the heart of a demon

 

Man, studying my butt off for midterms, and I'm still getting no where fast. Oh well. Sorry about the long space inbetween updates, so I think I will put up Chapter 13 before Monday……

 

Chapter 12

 

-

Naraku looked down at her. `She did not mean that, right? They really did cause her irreversible pain. I can not replace them or erase them, but Noriega would not want for me to do that. She just wants to be loved back, and I will and protect her-` Naraku shook his head. `What the hell is wrong with me. I do not love her, I only lust for her and want her power I do not need to have my goals weighed down due to emotions for some girl. Reason why I have not marked her as my mate. I will protect her only so that when time comes she will take these lands for me, and so that I will have the most powerful heirs in existence. No love.'

 

Naraku spoke. “About time that you have awoken.”

 

Noriega rubbed against him, then stood dressing. “Not my fault you are huge.”

 

Naraku was already dressed, so sat watching her. “Think of it as a game.”

 

She flipped her hair over her shoulders. “Whatever.”

 

“Why did you not tell me that you are of inuyoukai nobility?”

 

She put her sword on. “Because I am not.”

 

Naraku cursed to himself. He still could not read her. “Care to explain this to me after you eat.”

 

“Neither suit me as of now.”

 

Naraku stood walking along side of her. “Where do you think you are going.”

 

“I have business to attend to.”

 

Naraku spoke. “Eat and rest.”

 

“From one complaining that I rest too long.”

 

“You loose strength by both refusing to sleep and not eating. You are not telling me everything, Noriega.”

 

“Good going Sherlock… Never mind.”

 

“You will tell one day where you hail from. Off these lands where I hear they read backwards perhaps. And perhaps where you gather your odd words and sayings foreign to me.”

 

“One day out of countless.” She growled seeing him infront of her. “Persistence will not help you dog.”

 

He grinned. “Perhaps this dog has learned new tricks.”

 

A bobcat walked up to the girl, looked at her, then transformed to person form. She was yellow with red stripes. “Uhm, lady Nico, there is, uhm…Something, you know where, that you should see, involving, you know what.”

 

Naraku spoke looking at Noriega. “Even in front of me you do this still.”

 

Noriega laughed once walking off as the bobcat went back to her `animal' form. “Days that are to be counted.”

 

 

 

Once out of sight the two ran for twelve days to the western areas of the northern lands. Noriega ate a small lizard as her only meal the entire time. It did not stay long with her. As they came upon the mountains they jumped the rugged sides until they reached a large opening. They walked about an hour to come to a city inside the mountain. In person form, the bobcat spoke.

 

“I was hunting along the mountain chain when I saw a cloaked creature enter. I know these mountains well Nico, these have appeared within the last month, from out of no where.”

 

Noriega spoke. “Tell me Felix, what do you believe Ragnork has to do with this.”

 

“I had a mouse of mine search. She claims to often see the half moon half sun symbol in white on all of the doors in this new place.”

 

“His powers grow again as he continues to run from his enemies and build his, places.”

 

“You will destroy his plans again, right?”

 

“Yes Felix, and he will flee again with his imperious magics. Thank you for informing me of this. You will leave now.”

 

The bobcat morphed back trotting out. Noriega purified the entire city with the wave of her hand. She then collected irregular souls she saw and turned to leave only to see him before her. He wore brown and white clothing, had long red hair, a scar across his right blue eye, and a burn mark across his left green eye.

 

“You are well for a dead man Ragnork.”

 

He grinned slight deviousness. “You know why I still live, and bitter towards a few, certain scars. Yet, you are still persistent, in destroying what I have built.”

 

“Conjured.”

 

He held his staff lightly tracing her curves in the air. “Look who it brought to me.”

 

She reached out snapping the star in half. “You would do well not to test my limits.”

 

“And why not? As long as you are miko and I a mage demon, we can not harm one another. Akin spirits, no?”

 

“You are in need of correction.” A spirit of Noriega's formed ontop of the mage demon nearly crushing him. “I can not directly do you harm.”

 

He did magic dismissing the large spirit beast on him and stood. “I like you girl, we will beet again.” He vanished.

 

Noriega traveled south towards the bone eaters well. She came out a day later with two swords and a light smile on her face as she walked.

 

“Washi. I see you are disturbed yet will considering your lack of nutrition.”

 

Washi perched on her shoulder chirping. “Tsume asked me to stay. He said he heard a false hood about something Unagi did. A few days later he went up to the palace to see its remains as well as those of the former eastern lord. He had gotten there about the same time as the other lords from the east. Tsume said the new eastern lord is Sanoske the chameleon youkai. Tsume warned me to tell you to stay away from the eastern lands, for the new lord wants you dead.”

 

“People want yet do not get. I will heed his warning for now though. You are in need of a proper meal and sleep.” Noriega pulled out her sword cutting the head off of a lesser demon. “You will eat this then sleep.”

 

After Washi finished eating the girl wrapped him in her tail and walked west for two days. When Washi woke he perched on her shoulder and stayed with her for a month as they ventured deeper into the western lands.

 

“Washi. It is not safe here. Fly to Souta. I will arrive three days after.”

 

“Okay, be safe mother.”

 

Noriega smiled a bit after Washi flew off and began to walk for about five minutes, until she saw a grey inuyoukai of nobility infront of her. He looked in his late thirties, but she knew he was most likely well over a thousand.

 

“Woman of many names Yaburn, Bish, Okada-“

 

“You are from Kaigi no Kihou and come for my head. Send your minions, not one will scratch me.”

 

A legion came forth as the grey dog demon left to find Noriega absent from sight. In her place instead were four black souls. Three formed in to giant sized beasts of blue and purple and the fourth a normal sized person whom looked normal save the pointed ears and the long yellow hair tied back high. As the giants crushed through the thousands the demon with the yellow hair took out his two daggers killing those escaping the crushing. Noriega stood watching in a tall like tree in the distance. She knew Sesshomaru would have been informed by the council of this for taking place in his lands, so he would not disturb her for inquiring what was taking place. After her four souls demolished the legion hours later Noriega set them free and made her way deeper West through the night. Five hours after dawn, she came upon the Western palace.

 

 

Rin was in a garden planting instead of picking the blossoms of flowers. Jakken and a soldier watched over her.

 

“Insolent ningen! Come or Master Sesshomaru will have our heads!”

 

Rin stood slightly saddened. “Rin thinks you are no fun Jakk- Kagome!”

 

The soldier was dead before he could even give grasp the handle to his trident at his side. But knowing Sesshomaru would run even faster after her, she did it where it looked as if she stroked his neck as she walked past and he had fallen asleep. She picked up Jakken throwing him off as she knelt to Rin. The girl hugged her.

 

“Rin has missed Kagome! Rin does not like lord Sesshomaru's lady, she does not like Rin.”

 

Kagome held the child after being slightly taken back by her words and actions. She put a platinum chain around the neck of Rin with the medallion on the end.

 

“Rin. You must detach yourself from me since Sesshomaru sama has chosen a different path from me. Do you recall how I once told you I would never let harm come to you.”

 

During this time, Jakken was thrown past, still with amazing velocity, the window to the study of Sesshomaru. He shouted passing.

 

“Kagome is with Rin my sama!”

 

Rin looked a Kagome with a knod. “Yes. Rin remembers. Rin likes the pretty thing on chain.”

 

“I do not forget promises. Always wear this Rin, even if Sesshomaru sama asks you not to, other wise you will not be assured safety.”

 

Rin gave Noriega another hug. “Rin promises Kagome! Rin will not forget Kagome-“ She looked up to find Noriega gone with the wind and Sesshomaru behind her. “Lord Sesshomaru?”

 

Noriega had left the moment she heard Jakken say her name she still was unsuccessful at burying. She left Rin and ran fast trying to stay ahead of Sesshomaru, whom she sensed was running after her. Hours later after Noriega leading him through curbing paths, jumping over streams, she saw her lands ahead and changed her features. Sesshomaru stopped as he was attacked by a slew of spears and other weapons. He did not go further, but spoke quietly to himself as he watched her followers with weapons as she ran off.

 

“You have done well for yourself Kagome.”

 

The cats stood with Sakura in the distance watching the western lord go back into the woods. Having him that close to her again…She missed him.

 

Rin leaped in the air hugging the white inuyoukai as he returned to the palace. “Rin has missed you Sesshomaru sama! Why did you chase Kagome out? You were not here for a week.”

 

“Kagome did not tell you to detach your emotions from her Rin?”

 

“Yes lord Sesshomaru Kagome did tell Rin but Rin likes Kagome and Kagome likes Rin! Kagome gave Rin this pretty thing and told Rin to never take it off.”

 

Sesshomaru saw the medallion was made of black and gold. “Give me your gift Rin. Kagome has no longer been a friend to you for years.”

 

Rin looked hurt. “Kagome told Rin you would ask, but said in should keep.” Rin heard an inuyoukai barking in the distance. She looked up wide eyed at her lord. “Rin wishes to have Kagome as Rin's mother not lady Yukina who does not like Rin. The pretty thing is all Rin has of Kagome and has to keep it. Please, Otousan?”

 

Sesshomaru smiled. “Very well Rin. It is time for you to sleep.”

 

Sakura (Noreiga) with Washi stayed a night at each of her now nine holdings in the northern parts of the southern lands all run by cats and wolves. She went inot the forest heading for the south east area of the eastern lands. A day passed.

 

“Mother? Why are you about to cry?”

 

Sakura sat below a tree letting herself cry. “I have told you of my time at the Western palace Washi.”

 

“Yes Mother, but you love Naraku now, correct?”

 

“True… But being so close to Sesshomaru yet still so far hurt. I miss having him with me, me with him…”

 

Washi jumped infront of her and looked up. `Do you still love him?'

 

Sakura wept. “It does not matter. He could be right infront of me holding me and we would still be, separately… We are both mated.”

 

`You both do not love your mates?'

 

“I will not speak for Sesshomaru, but I do love and care for Naraku.”

 

Washi was still young thus confused. `Please explain when I am older Noriega.'

 

She stood. “Very well Washi. After this small task, where would you like to go.”

 

Washi thought on it for an hour. “To Pito and Kotu and Kagura!”

 

“Very well. Take off now for them. I will join you three days after you.” Washi flew off. Noriega spoke again. “You have impeccable timing.”

 

Noriega turned to Naraku stepping out from a tree. “And you have learned to put your nose to good use.”

 

Naraku held her from behind. “Will you ever settle down?”

 

She moved her neck kissing him. His hands easily took off her fighting kimono and began to move about, one her chest, the other down below causing her to whimper. Her tail took off his clothing and stroked the small of his back. He turned her around putting her against a tree. She spoke with no emotion.

 

“Why would I want to.”

 

Naraku went into her as he put her legs around him. He received a small yelp of pain. He knew she was still young, and most species of demon did not mate until around forty human years had passed to allow for their adult forms to develop completely. But she was strong. And very, very…

 

Naraku growled in delight and when finished they wound up on the ground at night time. He noticed her back raw from being against the tree with such force and blood from inbetween her legs seeping out onto the ground. He growled angry at himself.

 

“I hurt you.”

 

She licked his neck rapidly. “No you did not. As long as you went one would think you are trying to make me stay for a while.”

 

He held her letting her lick his body. “Maybe I am.”

 

She nipped him with a growl in her throat. “Do not push me.”

 

Naraku laughed once almost forgetting the real reason he had the black inu female in his arms. “When are you coming to my place.” Naraku stopped, seeing she had fallen asleep without him knowing. He sighed and spoke once he felt her rub against him just before dawn. “My question.”

 

She began licking every centimeter of him until she found his spot. “Do you believe I can,” A lick. “get you to” lick “whimper for me.”

 

Naraku growled in his throat. `Do not lose control.' Naraku began to feel her tail. “Perhaps you will be the one to do the whimpering.”

 

The girl purred realizing scents from her body that easily caused Naraku to stir. She smiled slightly. “Dumb dog.”

 

Naraku got ontop of Noriega receiving a loud yelp. After some time passed his motives and actions caused Noriega to yelp louder with his rapid pace. He pulled out of the tightness an hour later seeing more blood than last. He laid back brining her with him holding her as she licked him.

 

“I should remind myself, that you are still very young.”

 

“And that you are very large for a dumb dog.”

 

He continued to hold her as his eyes drifted to the nape of her neck again. Before he could speak again, a spider youkai crawled up to him.

 

Naraku set Noriega down besides him to cover her nakedness though her actions showed that she seemingly did not care. When the spider finished Naraku realized Noriega would not stay in one place for long, she had managed to disappear without his knowledge. Perhaps, if he marked her….

 

 

Noriega ran until she was safely out of the sensory area of Naraku. If she would have stayed, she knew Naraku would have wanted her to stay, with him. She came upon a stream and washed the scent off of her and ran for three days towards the location of a small ningen, hanyou, youkai village. The sight as well as the smell of the village annoyed the inu, it showed weakness, something not tolerated.

 

Noriega went into the village and became further sickened by the bad scents. She recived weary and friendly looks, and from some of the uncontrolled humans, lustful sights upon her. She was stopped by thirteen youkai and two hanyou clothed in all dark red.

 

“Speak demon. Are you Pashitonomi?”

 

Noriega spoke. “Perhaps. Would you care to find out.”

 

The two hanyou and a demon attacked the girl. She smirked, ducked down shredding through two and cutting the head off of the third with her own sword. As the bodies fell in their own blood and entrails she extracted one black soul placing it in her hip sack. One of the dark red ninjas spoke.

 

“Soul Stealer, we hold no qualms with you.”

 

“If so, why do you attack me. I approach and cause no harm, so I defend myself. Will I have to defend myself against this entire village for my defense vrai?”

 

Now outside, one of the humans threw a large knife used to cut the meat behind Noriega. She deviously grinned smelling the fear from the ninjas knowing the outcome of the fate who threw the knife. Noriega caught the blade, went infront of the woman who was in shock due to her speed, and severed her spine with her own blade. She fell bleeding to death.

 

“I had no intention to come to this,” Noriega had a disgusted look on her visage. “place, to kill all of the inhabitants but if you are persistent in believing you can kill the inuyoukai before you I will do so. Has my authority been proven into your minds or will I have to defend myself again ninjas.”

 

A ninja spoke weary. “What do you want soul stealer?”

 

She smiled with no emotion as always. “For now, your services are not required. Continue to do as you would normally, but change your colors to blue and black.” She walked off. “You may also call me Nike if you wish. Your lives will either improve vastly beyond pitiful minds whom wish to mingle with lesser beings or you will be killed from your insolence. If you acquire aid, send word by any means other than a half breed, and if I deem it fit it will be granted.”

 

 

Naraku returned to his compound to see a spider demon girl, the daughter of one of his soldiers, playing with a small phoenix falcon. Washi saw Narkau and perched on his shoulder. Naraku spoke as the bird thought to him.

 

“Washi. It is good to see you well. Noriega let you stop by?”

 

`She told me she would meet me here three days from now. Why did not Noriega tell, you?'

 

“Our Noriega likes games Washi, you know this.”

 

`Yes she does.'

 

“Tell me Washi, do you know why Noriega seemingly does not eat. Out of the times that I have seen her as of more recent, only once I have seen her consume anything.”

 

`She used to eat like normal demons, just smaller portions. But, about two...Maybe five months ago I have been flying around a lot. So I do not really know. She, is okay though, right Naraku?'

 

Noriega approached the compound of Naraku during day light. She looked up seeing it to have only a few hours left. Soon, about six children, one fox, two spiders, one half snake half fox, and a grey colored one came out along with some of their parents. The children ran around her green and black tail, and the rest of her. The adults saw it and immediately removed their children from Noriega.

 

“We truly are sorry lady Noriega.”

 

“It is just…Just…”

 

“Things have become far better for our lives now that you have finally accepted lord Naraku-“

 

Noriega, very annoyed but well for not showing it, picked up the speaking spider demon by her throat piercing her skin. “if you and yours do not stop graveling at once I will kill all of you.” She threw her aside walking off. “Show your gratitude by not annoying me to your deaths.”

Okay, so I know that there are some confusing things going on (of course) but bare with me! If I flat out explained in the story what was going on, then the plot would be horrible. Everything, and I do mean everything will be explained with time, a lot of it. If you guys have any questions about anything (parings, plot, characters, confusement, my sanity) just let me know!!!!
