Chapter One: In the Shadows

 

 

A woman like-figure possessing grace and agility leaped through the trees, quietly following a wooden wagon full of children to be sold as slaves.

 

“Sick bastards” she whispered vilely as she followed them through branches with ease. She continued to track the wagon and its' inhabitants until the demon owned slave trade stopped for the night in a wide meadow clearing.

 

A lizard demon stepped out from the covered part of the wagon, in the front, and walked to the back where the children were sealed inside.

 

“Come out, you worthless clumps of flesh” he snarled after flinging the wooden door open. The frightened children scrambled out of the small space, not wanting to upset the tired demon. A little girl about the age of two with raven black hair in pigtails, while running to group up with the other children beside the demon. Tripped falling down onto the lizard's tail, her caramel eyes pleaded with his as she scooted back, while her fists clenched her dirty yellow kimono in fear. The demon howled loudly in anger.

 

“You little bitch!” He snarled and raised his claws to kill the young clumsy girl. She closed her eyes tightly in fear and anticipation of her death. Just when he was about to strike, a sacred arrow purified him.

 

The child whose eyes were closed tightly waiting for the blow opened slowly to see a pale woman. The woman had long raven hair with blue highlights in a messy bun. Her eyes were silver blue with cat slits. She wore a short black kimono opened down to her navel with a red cloth covering her breast. On her back was a sheathed sword, and in her hands was a cross bow.

 

“Are you okay little one,” the woman asked in a kind voice looking at the child. The small girl nodded with wide eyes, amazed by the woman's beauty.

 

“ What the hell happened,” yelled the voice of another demon. The woman looked up, her blue-silver eyes clashing with red ones full of rage.

 

“You bitch what you did to my brother?” the lizard demon growled breathing harshly through his nose, as his scaly 5ft 11 form shook. The woman in response just tilted her head to the side as amusement settled in her eyes.

 

“Does ugliness run in the family or is it just you two?” The woman asked while placing a smirk on her delicate face.

 

The demon howled and charge at her swiping his claws in her direction. Quickly she grabbed the young girl and jumped above him avoiding the attack. Putting the child off to the side, she then slid her hand out gracefully, and purified the demon to ashes.

 

Hearing movement running in the opposite direction of she turned her head and saw the other demons of the trade, missing until now, running towards the forest. She tsked in disgust.

 

`Cowards. Now how many are left? Let's see, one, two, three, four. Hmm, four left to go. '

 

She started to chant a series of unknown sacred words, and as she chanted the demons started to run more slowly, before finally freezing in their places, which was near the edge of the forest.

 

`My aren't they slow, perhaps they are turtle demons.' She thought as she walked towards them slowly, ignoring their cries of mercy. She scrunched her nose up in disgust as one of them started to cry.

 

`Pathetic.' She channeled her purification powers into the ground killing three of them instantly. The demon left alive started to cry hysterically, unable to control his bodily functions.

 

Leaning her head back in disgust she covered her nose at the smell. `This is a demon? Weak.' “Shut up” she commanded coolly.

 

The demon did so as he was told, but still whimpered softly staring at her with tear filled eyes.

 

As she walked slowly towards the demon, his whimpering increased. When she was a few inches from his face she paused, and stared into his yellow eyes waiting for his persistent whimpering to stop. When he finally calmed down she talked. “Listen to me, and listen well. I am willing to let you live and keep your pathetic life, …but only for a price.” She stopped to if he was listening, when she was sure he was she continued. “This price is simple. Every slave trade you see, I want you to warn them of myself. Tell them your story and tell them they are next when I find them. Tell them of the death I caused, and how I won't rest until I find each and kill every one of them. Tell them the very trade they so ignorantly support, is the reason for my existent. If you do this I shall let you live.” The demon started to nod his head, but she interrupted him. “But if you don't, I shall find you and kill you myself. Slowly, and very painfully. Is that clear?”

 

He moved his head as much as the spell would allow.

 

“ Good,” she said. With a wave of her hand, he was released and he turned and fell to his knees before her.

 

“But my lady what is your name? So they know whom I am talking of ” He asked.

 

Kagome looked down at him and started to smirk

 

“ My name they do not need to know, cause to them I will only be known as… the queen of the shadows.”
