The Lord and Lady
Chapter One: The Goshinboku Tree
Izayoi had been hitting the mark perfectly for the last hour. She was gifted and only guessed that was because of her mother. She knew of her heritage and hated her father with a passion. Her mother died because of the beating Lord Ittetsumono gave her. So Izayoi had chosen to make allies of those her father had broken. She put her arrows in their container and walked across the forest. She had her hair in a low-ponytail. She knew that it was important to protect what she had here, she had to protect those around her. They had all been so welcoming and yet so difficult, it must have been because that Ittetsumono had killed many Youkai and they feared that she being here would cause them to strike. However, it wasn't known that Ittetsumono had a child and she was thankful for that. Izayoi wondered who had slaughtered him, she wanted to thank them.
So Izayoi continued to walk through the forest, that was until she felt a Youkai aura. It was that of a Youkai, not just any Youkai but a daiyoukai. They were the most powerful and something that to be killed at the hands of. However that didn't deter her from continuing in that direction. She worried about what condition the daiyoukai could be in. That was until she saw HIM. It was a Youkai with silver hair with piercing golden eyes. He was on his knees pinned to the tree by his hands, some of his blood was dripping on to the ground. She heard something come from him, it was a low growl meaning to stay away from him. However it was said Izayoi wasn't the smartest wench in the world. So she approached, Izayoi went to him and saw the arrows glow, another miko had done this. This angered her, she believed that you should never attempt to seal any Youkai as it would only result in your death. When she approached the daiyoukai she heard a voice.
"Izayoi stay away from him," A voice spoke coldly.
Toga's POV
'So the wench's name is Izayoi is it? I'll remember that when I kill her. Why was she approaching me like that?' He thought to himself. Lord Toga didn't trust her even though he felt no ill intentions of her not to mention there was nothing of fear as she came just worry. He wasn't sure he could understand why she wouldn't fear for him.
Regular POV
Izayoi saw the miko Yotaru and said, "Lady Yotaru what are you doing to that man?"
"It is not a man, it is a Youkai not worthy enough to live," Yotaru spoke. What happened next startled her.
Izayoi had quickly draw her bow and arrows at Yotaru. "You will not kill the daiyoukai unless he has harmed you or a single person, has he?" She demanded.
Toga cocked his head up disbelieving what the wench just had said. She was trying to keep him from either being sealed forever into this Goshinboku tree. It would be impossible to be able to do this successfully. If he was a Hanyou or lower Youkai then it could be done. However he was Inu No Taishio, the daiyoukai lord of the West, he would not allow this. As he had tried to pull free the arrows glowed a tainted black. It just meant that the miko that stood against Izayoi was a dark one at that.
"Poor Izayoi, trying earn family honor by being the vigilant protector of all things even if they are impure," Yotaru stated. She then shot an arrow and a black aura surrounded it.
Izayoi would not let Yotaru win, she had sensed the evil aura surrounding her. As soon as Yotaru had launched an arrow so had Izayoi, however Izayoi's arrow had a pure pink aura surrounding it. It had not only destroyed Yotaru's arrow but pinned her against the opposing tree. Izayoi turned to Toga and kneeled at him and began to pull the arrow out. "I shall need to treat to your wounds," She told him in a soft voice. Izayoi saw the arrows disappear as she grasped them.
"I need no help from a Ningen," Touga spoke coldly.
However Izayoi would not take 'no' for an answer. She had a great many stubbornness. She grasped his hand and heard him growl until she focused her energies healing the wounds.
Touga had tried to pull away but the warm feeling he had from Izayoi's slight touch soothed him until he was almost purring. He had hated Ningens and here was one, a miko no less healing him and tearing down his facade. It was an odd sensation, he could sense that much. When she pulled away, he felt a wave of sadness as he had already felt her scent hit him. The scent was not like any other Ningen, it was not that of filth. She smelt of Sakura blossoms, vanilla, and lavender. It was all very soothing to his sense.
So she turned from the Daiyoukai and stood up. Izayoi felt a tad nervous and was sure that the daiyoukai smelt it already and looked to Yotaru and knew it was dangerous right now to leave her here. It was best if she strip the miko of her powers as it was possible. She took out a powder from a bag that held from Hakuma pants and threw it in the unconscious Yotaru's face and held her throat and it seemed to work as their was a fight between Izayoi's aura which was pure as it began to destroy Yotaru's dark miko aura. It began to drain Izayoi's strength, only serving to make her to feel tired and drained.
Touga looked to the wench who had healed him. He had not left, after all he was curious of Izayoi whom seemed not like any other Ningen he had met, save one. He sensed her body began to drain as her aura became stronger destroying the evil. He saw as she began to lose consciousness. Touga had heard that a powerful miko was able of destroying the powers of dark mikos but he never expected to witness such a thing. He caught her before she fell to the ground and he let Yotaru fall as arrow fell. Touga had no idea why he still held her, now bridal style. So he began to carry her into the next village within the cloak of the nighttime. He held her close if only to have scent linger on him. So he left her at the old miko's hut, having no reason for him to stay.
The Following Morning...
Izayoi awoke with a cover over her, it was the break of morning. She remembered the previous night, Yotaru trying to seal the beautiful daiyoukai. 'Wait! I don't think... Oh wait, yes I do. Any woman would have to be a fool to not be in awe at him.' She figured just to admit it and go on with her life. The life of a miko wouldn't allow her to be with such a man. 'I wonder where he is and how I got here,' She thought to herself. So she left the room she had slept in, to see the whole town was talking about Yotaru and the fact her power had been bound.
Yanagi, an old miko stood near the door and said, "You have awoken, Izayoi. There is much we must speak of."
