Fragile Spirits

Chapter 1

An InuYasha Fanfic

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the InuYasha characters no matter how much I want to. However I do own a few characters.

A girl stood on a stage in front of a large crowd. She looked around for someone familiar, but alas there was no one she knew. Her white dress combined with the bright lighting made her seem like a ghost. However her dark brown hair and bright green eyes ruined the effect. Slowly she began to sing her favorite song. She closed her eyes and sang as beautifully as she could.

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's there and I fall into myself

This truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away

The girl finished up and opened her eyes as people began to applaud for her. She smiled as she saw familiar eyes watching her from the shadows. Someone did care about her. The girl walked off the stage towards those shadows. She brushed past the figure with a smile and then went out the door.

The girl walked the three blocks to her house. She knew that the person was following her, but she ignored him. As she entered the house, she noticed that something was wrong. There was a strong stench of blood in the air. Slowly and cautiously the girl walked deeper into the house only to find that they were murdered. A message was written in their blood across the wall.

It read: Sakura,

They are only the first to die, but they will not be the last. Unless you decide to join me that is. Think about it. If you are puzzled by whom I am then think of the Feudal Era and your enemies.

The girl called Sakura collapsed to her knees. Her follower stepped in and held her close to him. It was none other than the demon lord, Sesshomaru! He had always been a close friend to Sakura ever since she had helped him then brought him to her time. Of course his importance in the feudal era prevented him from staying in hers forever.

Sesshomaru always showed the real him in front of Sakura. He helped her. Sakura was a human, but she also had a demon form. Sesshomaru trained her in her demon form, since she planned on becoming the wind demon leader. He drilled her in sword fighting and in even hand-to-hand combat.

Sakura pulled away from Sesshomaru slowly. She refused to cry like a child. Slowly she walked up the staircase to her small bedroom. Lifting up a loose board, she removed a whip, a demonic sword, and some throwing stars.

"Sesshomaru, I'm going to go to the wind kingdom to get away from this. Don't worry, okay? See you!" Sakura slipped out a window after kissing him on the cheek.

Sesshomaru watched as the police flooded into the house. He then turned and fled to the portal that would bring him back to his own time. However he took another glance at the human who fled in the opposite direction.

Sakura took the portal to the demon realm that was created when a war between humans and demons was a vivid threat. She transformed into her wind demoness form. Her hair grew snowy white, and her eyes became an even brighter green then before. Also she looked more elegant.

However the wind kingdom was totally in ruin. Before blood had flooded the place in a sudden rush, and screams had echoed through the skies in vivid reality. Also bodies had littered the ground in different twisted horrible manners.

However now it was worse. Ash coated everything and seemed to hang in the air ready to suck away the breathe from your lungs. The bodies were charred and blackened. There was the horrid stench of burnt flesh hanging in the air that could bring tears to anyone's eyes. The once beautiful city that any wind demon called home was now a pile of rubble that looked as if even that would collapse in pain at any second.

Sakura fell to her knees and cried out her heart. Nothing in the world was worth of this. Even though she had been raised to shun feelings like these, pain still riddled her heart and made her breakdown. How she longed for someone to be there right now, someone that always seemed to care about her.

As though reading her thoughts, strong arms picked her up and carried her away from this. Sakura looked up to see Sesshomaru again. She buried her face in his chest and took comfort in his presence. Sesshomaru looked down upon her with a gentleness only Sakura knew he had.

Rhigama drew furiously in her drawing book, trying to perfect her latest creation. However it was difficult, especially with Serenity hovering over her shoulder. Finally she finished after an hour's work.

Serenity continuously remarked on the beauty of the piece. However Rhigama would list off imperfections every time. Suddenly pain shot through both of their bodies. Gracefully Serenity stood and walked over to a seeing pool. The water was silvery at first, but it then showed an image of destruction and chaos when she waved her hand over the pool. Blood and pain was all that could be seen.

Serenity watched in horror, while Rhigama watched in mild amusement. However when they waved their hands over it again, a scene from a different time was shown. Serenity watched excitedly as a handsome young monk was shown along with a handsome hanyou. Then they saw a jewel of great power, a modern-day girl, and a great evil. Both maidens longed to go to that time and be a part of that picture.

Serenity stood and created a portal to that time and place. She was determined now to meet that young monk and become a part of that picture. Rhigama looked at her younger sister with a bored expression. Serenity stepped through the portal. Rhigama watched in the seeing pool as her sister appeared there. She then changed the scene to another place in that time. Rhigama smiled as she saw her youngest sister being carried into a rather large estate by Sesshomaru.

"So we have a love affair." Rhigama smirked.

Serenity walked into the village, where she had seen the handsome young monk. Thankfully she had changed her clothing to something closer to that time's fashion. The village didn't look out of the ordinary, yet this is where a hanyou, a monk, a kitsune kit, and a demon exterminator resided. Serenity closed her eyes and envisioned the young monk again. When she opened her eyes, that very monk was in front of her. She couldn't help, but blush.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I don't believe I have seen you here before." The monk wondered.

"I just arrived here a few moments ago. My village was attacked and I fled. However I got lost in the process. It was so scary!" Serenity cried. She forced tears to swell up into her eyes. With practiced skill, she hid her face and faked heartbreaking sobs.

"There, there. I'm Miroku and I will do everything within my power to aid you during your time of need." The monk volunteered. Serenity smiled lightly in thanks.

"Monk, what are you up to now? Womanizing again?" the demon exterminator asked, emerging from one of the huts.

"Of course not Lady Sango. I was only offering my assistance to this poor woman." Miroku defended. Serenity nodded to the new arrival.

"Oh how rude of me. I am Serenity." She introduced.

"What seems to be the problem Lady Serenity?" Sango asked.

"My village was destroyed by demons. I'm the only survivor out of all of them. Unless my sisters got way." Serenity replied. She knew that recently a village had been destroyed by demons and that there were no survivors.

"If you could lead us to your village, we can see if there is anything we can do." Miroku explained.

"I don't think I can. As I was running, I got lost." Serenity cried.

"Don't worry. I'm sure we can help you." A girl wearing strange clothing assured after emerging from a hut with the hanyou and the kitsune kit. Serenity bowed slightly.

"Thank you very much." She said.

"As for the rest of the introductions, over there is Lady Kagome, the kit is Shippo, and the hanyou is InuYasha." Miroku introduced. Serenity smiled.

"Why don't we all go into Kaede's hut and discuss the situation?" Kagome suggested. Everyone followed into the hut of the old priestess.

I hope you liked it. This is my first real fanfic. Tell me what you think.
