InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Of Another Kind ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Angelbaby: I'm trying a new thing. Instead of YuGiOh, I'm going to write an InuYasha story. I'm so happy. I love this show. Especially Naraku and Sesshomaru (and Muso although I'll probably never see him again.)

Anyway, this isn't a Yaoi. It's between Sesshomaru and my own character Talica, but I do plan on writing a Naraku and Sesshomaru story. By the way, if I'm spelling Sesshomaru wrong, please fell free to correct me.

I don't own InuYasha.

Sesshomaru sighed as he sat upon the grass and relaxed his back against the trunk of the tree. The night wind blew softly against his face moving his long white hair to one side. He breathed in the smell of rain not yet fallen and closed his eyes for rest. The sound of the moving water from the lake calmed him and he was able to drift off to a peaceful sleep.

The sound of screaming and laughter ripped threw his peace like a sharpened sword. He turned his eyes toward the direction of the noise and frowned with disgust as the sickly sweet smell of blood that filled his nostrils. His eyes narrowed dangerously as the stench of the Hyundai tribe surrounded him.

"I may not care much for humans, but I have been disturbed from my rest." Sesshomaru said to himself as he slowly stood up and walked toward the source of his interruption.

~~

"Come on darling. Lets play." Said a demon that would almost appear human if he didn't have abnormal long fangs, nails, and ears. He grabbed onto a girl that was indeed human and pulled her to his body. His tongue flicked out and lapped at her ear.

The other three demons laughed with malice as the human struggled to be free from their grasp.

"Let me go!" cried the girl.

"You would be wise to do as she says." Came a dark voice from behind them. They all stopped and turned toward the source.

"L…L…Lord Sesshomaru, wh…what are you do…doing here?" asked one of the demons fear evident in his voice.

The girl looked toward the frightened demon and then back toward the one they called Sesshomaru…Lord Sesshomaru.

The silver-haired `god' raised his hand as it began to glow a poisonous green. He lifted his hand and lashed it across as a glowing green whip formed from his fingertips.

The girl looked to him with confusion as nothing had happened from the action. She looked to the creature that held her as he made a small cry of pain. Her eyes widened with fear and all color drained from her face as a line of blood drew across his neck before the head fell off completely. She stood frozen in her place as she watched the head roll beside her as the body still held her in a captive position. She felt her throat go dry and a build up in her stomach before she burst with a blood crawling scream. She shot from the grasp of the cold and decapitated body. She ran to a tree and fell to the ground as she watched with horror filled eyes as the stranger took up his sword and rid the world of the rest of the useless creatures.

Sesshomaru placed his sword back into its place. He looked toward the girl that coward toward the tree with complete terror. She trembled as he continued to watch her with absolute boredom.

She felt tears begin to prick at her eyes, "Oh please don't kill me!" she begged as she got on her knees and clasped her hands together as she closed her eyes, "I've done nothing, please spare me."

Sesshomaru turned from the girl and proceeded out the woods to the direction of which she came. The girl peaked one eye opened with interest as to why she wasn't yet dead. Seeing the receding form of her rescuer, she quickly stood up and ran after him.

"Hey, wait up." she said as she caught up with the demon. She looked up at him, "I wanted to say thank you for helping me back there. I…um…really appreciate it."

Sesshomaru remained silent as he continued to walk. He slowed his step as he came to the place that he had been early. He walked over to the lake and bent down drawing up water with his hand and splashing it onto his face. He sat down and looked up to the sky watching as the stars began to appear.

The girl watched him with interest, `He seems to…calm…to be a demon or a least a dangerous one.' She thought to herself. She shrugged and walked over to him and sat down beside him. She looked at him and smiled lightly, "Sesshomaru right?"

He looked at her with a frown plastered on his face.

"Sesshomaru is what those demons called you. My name is Talica." She said putting her hands out to be shaken. He just looked at her. He studied her features. She had long orange hair and sliver-blue eyes and she was very petite in stature. She appeared to be around the age of seventeen. She sighed as she put her hand down and flicked the water with a finger, "I'm a human…in case you didn't…know." She said as she tried to make conversation.

He turned from her, "Will you go away." He said softly.

"Huh," she said surprised that he talked. She looked down sadly, "But I don't have anywhere to go."

"Find somewhere." He retorted.

She turned her head to him slowly, "Can't I…stay with you?"

"No." he stated simply.

"Why?"

"I hate humans."

"Then why don't you just kill me now?"

No reply came. She continued to play with the water, "So…I can stay with you?"

"No."

"Why?"

He turned to her with annoyance in his eyes. She smiled at him. Sesshomaru sighed, "Fine, but don't cross me." He warned her.

Her smile grew more brilliant, "O.K, I promise." She said as she stood up. He too stood up and started on his way home. He sighed with frustration at the fact that he didn't get the rest he had come here for.

"We're going to have so much fun, Sesshomaru." She said with excitement.

"Joy." He said emotionlessly.

~~

"It's been three months, I repeat, three months, Lord Sesshomaru, that that girl has been with us and I must know when and where are we going to drop her off?" asked Jaken who was only annoyed at the fact that Talica had once again walked off in the middle of his story.

Sesshomaru smiled with light amusement. Jaken didn't like the human being with them and often-said things about her when he thought his master could not hear it. He felt as though Talica was getting revenge on Jaken by walking away and really pissing him off, but the girl never showed any signs of a need for vengeance. She went on instinct with every action she made.

"Uhhhh, I tell you, Lord Sesshomaru, she's nothing but trouble, please my lord lets get rid of her." Jaken continued to beg.

"Jaken?"

Jaken froze in his place and turned toward his master, "Y…Yes my lord?"

"Be quiet." He stated simply.

Jaken's head fell, "Yes, my lord."

Talica laughed her sweet musical laugh. Sesshomaru watched her, he didn't know why but he loved the sound and he loved watching her smile. She stopped and looked at him curiously, "What's wrong?" she asked. He shook his head and continued to walk. Talica sighed, "We're always walking, Lord Sesshomaru, where are we going?"

Sesshomaru did not answer her; instead, he continued to walk. She sighed again and followed him with Jaken and Ah-Un trailing behind.

~~

The moon shone clearly in the sky making the lake glitter with an unearthly light. Talica smiled at the image before her. She turned back to Sesshomaru, who sat against a tree, and smiled at him. He watched her as Jaken huffed and led Ah-Un toward the inward woods.

"Nothing but trouble." He mumbled to himself as he disappeared behind the trees.

Talica ran over to Sesshomaru and sat down next to him on her knees and facing him, "May I take a swim?" she asked.

He nodded and she smiled as she stood up quickly and race back over to the water. She removed the tunic that adorned her. The dress fell from her body and landed in a puddle around her feet. Sesshomaru watched with great interest. He'd seen a naked woman before, but he'd never taken notice to it. The female makeup was quite…exotic. He let his eyes travel from her feet to her head and back down again.

Talica put a toe in the water and shivered, it was slightly cold. She took a deep breath and jumped in. She screamed playfully, "It's freezing." She turned to Sesshomaru, "Why don't you come in the water's fine." She laughed.

Sesshomaru laughed silently, "I thought it was freezing?" he reminded her.

"Um…well…that's my term for…um…warm and refreshing." She smiled.

He smiled showing a little bit of teeth, "I'll pass."

She pouted, "Please?"

He looked to the ground and then back at her. He sighed and shrugged. Standing up, Sesshomaru rid himself of his garments and walked to the lake getting in slowly.

Talica smiled, "Warm and refreshing right?"

He bared his teeth and hissed as the cold water stung his skin.

Talica moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sesshomaru moved back with alarm. Talica looked at him with confusion, "What?" Sesshomaru shook his head. Talica shrugged and began to swim around becoming accustomed to the temperature of the water. Sesshomaru watched her; he did that a lot lately. Why did she interest him so?

Sesshomaru looked up at the sky as he felt a change in the wind. He noticed the clouds begin to merge overhead and squinted as a single drop of water fell upon his face.

"It's going to rain, let's go Talica." He said. Talica frowned, "Ah, come on, a little bit of water never hurt nobody." Sesshomaru stood and walked out the water, "Now." He stated firmly. Talica sighed as she followed him out the water, "O.K." Sesshomaru picked up her tunic and tossed it to her as he gathered his clothes as well.

Talica looked up as there was a sudden crash of thunder. She ran over to Sesshomaru and placed her body firmly against his for protection. She stared at the sky and laughed as multiple drops of water began to hit her face. She positioned her dress above her head to shield herself from the rain.

Sesshomaru stared at Talica with a slight blush upon his face. He was a bit uncomfortable with the fact that their nude bodies were pushed up against each other. He watched her silently as she caught the raindrops on her tongue and crinkled her nose anytime a droplet of water landed on the sensitive skin.

"Lord Sesshomaru, what are you doing?" Jaken cried in his high voice.

Sesshomaru turned toward him as he pushed Talica away. She `humphed' as she hit the ground with a slight force. Her cheeks puffed as she gave Sesshomaru her angry face. He smiled slightly at her before helping her up. They put on their clothes and started to walk out of the woods and toward shelter from the rain.

Jaken glared at Talica from behind as he followed them all the while saying, "Nothing but trouble."

~~

"Have you found her yet, Shevon?"

The demon called Shevon shook his head quickly moving his black hair back and forth as he paced nervously back and forth, "No, I don't know what to do Dragin, it's been three months and I have yet to find her."

Dragin sighed as he lay upon the forest floor, "Well, you could just report back to the master and tell him you have failed." He suggested as he played with his short green hair.

Shevon's demonic red eyes widened with horror. If he did that he would be killed for sure. The wolf demon lord was not one to disappoint.

"I know where she is." Came a husky reply. Both demon's looked toward the source of the voice and smiled wickedly. "Koga." Said Dragin, "You bring us good news?" Koga smiled, his fangs shinning in the light of the moon, "I do. You tell Lord Mukajo that I will bring that fox to him if it's the last thing I do." With that said Koga disappeared into the night.

Both demon's looked to each and smiled. Their work was cut out for them. "Now to just sit back and wait for the delivery and then take all the praise." Dragin said as he placed his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.

~~

The sun shone brightly in the sky with a reasonable heat. Sesshomaru walked about the plain looking for the little human that had been with him for three months now. He frowned at his failure of not finding her. He turned toward Jaken as he felt his presence nearing. "Jaken where did Talica go?"

Jaken shrugged, "I don't know but I say we leave her my lord. I sense no good from her." Sesshomaru stared at him.

"Sesshomaru, look." Sesshomaru turned toward the voice and frowned as Talica came running up toward them, "Where were you?" he asked with anger evident in his voice. Talica smiled, "I got a new outfit. You like?" she asked as she twirled around showing off her white pants that flared at the bottom and had flower embroidery, her shirt was also whit and had long sleeves that flared out at the risk, the shirt stopped at her breast making an upside down `V' shape as it separated leaving her stomach exposed. "And I changed my hair." She said pointing to the once straight down hair, but now up in two buns with a little bit of hair coming out from the middle of each.

Sesshomaru sighed, "You know you are to tell me where you are going at all times." Talica frowned, "So you don't like it?" she asked sadly. He looked at her again and nodded. She smiled and began to dance loving her new look.

Jaken rolled his eyes, "I say you should punish her my lord." Talica stopped dancing and looked to Sesshomaru with horror filled eyes. Sesshomaru shook his head, "Just a warning for now." He reassured her. She nodded in understanding. "Good then. I need you to stay here. I have things I need to do." Talica pouted, "Can't I come with you?" Sesshomaru shook his head, "Stay here with Jaken, you understand?" Talica nodded.

Sesshomaru mounted Ah-Un and they took off into the sky. Talica waved bye to them until she couldn't see them anymore. She sighed as she plopped down onto the ground. Jaken glared at her, "Now that lord Sesshomaru isn't here, I'm in charge." She looked at him and laughed. "Why are you laughing?" he demanded to know angrily.

"Because she'd never take command from the likes of you." came the unsuspected reply. Talica and Jaken turned toward their visitor. Talica's eyes widened as she recognized the demon. Jaken huffed, "How dare you. Who are you?" The wolf- demon smiled, "No one important to the likes of you." he stated as he started to walk toward Talica, "but you on the other hand should remember me." Talica stood up and positioned herself in defense, "Koga." She said with venom.

Jaken looked between the two and smiled, "If this human is important to you, by all means take her." Koga looked to Jaken with a frown, "Human? This is no human. Far from it, actually." Jaken's jaw dropped, "What? Then what is she?" he shook his head, "You must be mistaken she is human, just look at her." Koga shook his head, "That's just a front. This right here is your very own fox-demon, not even a demon, she's…of another kind. She can appear human because her other form isn't much different from the way she looks now."

"Why you lying, no good, trouble making hooligan. You lied to my master about being human. I knew you were no good." Jaken yelled.

Talica glared at Koga. The wolf demon smirked, "Time to come home, Talica." Talica braced herself, "Never." She hissed. Koga arched a brow, "You challenge me?" Talica balled her hands into a fist, "You won't take me without a fight." Koga laughed, "Let's rethink that." He stated. "Huh?" Talica questioned. She turned as she suddenly felt a presence behind her. Koga took the opportunity and ran toward her hitting her upon the neck with excessive force and knocking the girl out.

Koga smiled as he picked the girl up and threw her over his shoulder. He turned to Jaken, "I take it you don't care for this girl much so do me a favor and lets keep this our little secret." Jaken crossed his arms, "I don't care what happens to her from here on out." Koga shrugged, "Whatever." He took off with great speed. Jaken clapped his hands together, "Good riddance."

As the day grew old and cold, Jaken began to worry about what his master would say to the disappearance of the human…fox demon…or whatever she was. He paced back and forth looking up into the skies awaiting his lord's return.

"I'm such an idiot." He said to himself, "I knew of Lord Sesshomaru's feeling for her, but I allowed that wolf demon to take her anyway. Ahhhh, what am I going to do? What will Lord Sesshomaru do to me when he finds out?"

"Find out what Jaken?" Jaken froze at the familiar voice of his master. He turned slowly and looked at Sesshomaru before placing a hand behind his head and smiling cheekily, "Oh nothing milord, nothing at all." He said moving from side to side still smiling.

"Where's Talica?" Jaken stopped moving and looked to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru stared at him awaiting a reply. Jaken laughed nervously, "Talica? You want to know where Talica is?" Sesshomaru crossed his arms, "I'm waiting Jaken. Had she disobeyed me again?" Jaken smiled as a sudden idea came to his head. He nodded, "Yes, milord she has, but that is not the worst."

Sesshomaru frowned at this information. He looked toward the village. Jaken shook his head, "No milord she is not there." He turned to Jaken at the news, "Oh, then where is she?" Jaken shrugged, "I can not say milord. She went off with some wolf demon. I told her to stay as you said, but the demon used his powers to keep me from doing anything and they ran off." Sesshomaru frowned, "Forgive me if I find this hard to believe. Why would she run off with a demon? A human trust a demon, Jaken, you aren't telling me something."

Jaken felt a new wave of fear take over him. He gulped, "Well that's just it milord, she isn't human." Sesshomaru unfolded his arms, "What?" he said with a heightened anger. Jaken shook his head and trembled with fear, "That wolf demon revealed her to be a fox demon…not even that…she's…of another kind, he says and she can look like a human. She's been lying to us Master Sesshomaru. And it's because of her being a demon that Koga the wolf demon took her. There was nothing I could do, please forgive me master." Jaken ranted as he fell upon the ground for mercy.

Sesshomaru sighed and closed his eyes, "You lied to me Jaken." Jaken trembled, "Please forgive me, I did not want you to find out about her deceit." Sesshomaru stared upon him before he turned toward the scent of Talica and began to follow it. Jaken looked up, "Hey, wait, Lord Sesshomaru where are you going." Sesshomaru continued to walk ignoring Jaken's question. Jaken quickly got up and ran after Sesshomaru, "Master, wait for me."
