InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To be a Demon ❯ Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own this story line and all the characters in it, no stealing. Also, none of your characters can be like Taishi, she is one of a kind with that “deformity”.

 

Summary: Being a demon was never guaranteed to be easy, there's many things to learn even when you're a young child. Taishi never said she wanted to learn, nor did she ever want to be the Lord's daughter, and being the lone child left means more strictness from the parents that she wish were not hers. Her life is full of conflicts and distress of learning and trying to fill a perfect image of all the others that have died before she was born.

(AKA: Kagome-tsuki)

 

 

 

Dedicated to those who come up with bazaar youkai mating laws, this will be something logical

and people can use to reference their stories if they actually find it may be useful.

I'm writing this for myself as well, something where I can have background to youkai mating and laws.

Please feel free to use anything in my stories, though I'd like to be contacted first.

Thank you and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taishi, the daughter, was now at five and was very contumacious. No one could keep her still for more than five minutes or even from screaming her frustration.

 

Taishi, still young, her hair was about shoulder length and her mother kept it trimmed to keep her from soiling her hair too much. Her hair was a silky light blue, tints of a lighter blue which mixed nicely giving almost a metallic look to it. Her eyes were mixed of blues, some light and some dark, a smoothed water colored look. Her skin was a paled white, alabaster like, and very fragile looking. The most important feature of this dog youkai was her two dog like appendages upon her head, and a fluffed out tail.

 

Not all youkai were born looking like normal ones, some looked like hanyous, unfortunately, that was a deformity of the child. Beside her uncanny appearance, the Lord could not stand to see another one of his go.

 

“No!” a high pitched wail filled the air.

 

Taishi ran down the halls of the expansive castle like building, which was hidden behind a protective barrier that completely hid the castle from sight. They had not wanted people to stumble upon their lands when they had a young girl in training.

 

“No! I don't want to stay in that room anymore!” she screamed at the teacher like assistant that chased after her, he was trying to teach her the basics. Later, instincts would kick into her little mind and she'd know what she was required to do as a Lady. No one believed that she'd be a submissive femme (or female) she'd be an alpha, even over her mate.

 

The girl skidded down the hall, her bare feet thumping on the hard wood ground and she turned a sharp corner. She smacked into someone and toppled back with a startled cry, her blue colored eyes filled with tears, feigning real ones.

 

“Get up child, go back to that room now, and stop the crying...” was a warm voice, yet it was stern, “Taishi, young Lady, up.”

 

Taishi bowed her head, though silently snickering at her father, he had power over her for now. She knew she'd find a way to get past his authority.

 

“Yes Father, My Lord...” she said, her tone sounding like she was a minute away from gagging.

 

Taishi rose, hiding her eyes from her father, far too annoyed to allow her gaze to even fall upon him. Her light colored tail twitched in irritation and she turned on her heel, her eyes focused on the wood worked ground. She knew eyes were on her back, her mother joined her father as well, dog like ears twitched in irritation from the eyes. Her senses were like any others, a shudder feeling when eyes were on her.

Any youkai could smell for at least miles away, their hearing were far better than a hanyou or humans. Their ears could pick up the small sound of lips moving, even if they were not making any verbal sounds, the sound of the lips were like code. Certain lip sounds of just lipping meant certain things, she had picked this up fast. Though, she had taught herself this, it was not used much by any. It was rude to listen to someone's private conversations, they learned to ignore these talking and whispers. Taishi could never keep her mind out of it, and she knew all these interesting things about her lands. Yes, they were her lands, they were going to be anyway.

 

The assistant had went back to the room, waiting for Taishi to return, they all knew once she had her fits the Lord was always there. She always was sent back and there was no need to chase after the girl. She was fast, even for being deformed, she was faster than some of the youkai in their land. She was only five, and no one doubted that her speed would leave her. Youkai's bodies developed different than humans, they grow at the same rate, but once a certain age their appearance stays the same. Youkai are meant to live for far longer, thus the reason for that. But their bodies, they got better without even doing anything, a child with great strength normally grew far stronger as they got older.

 

The changes made in each races were different, but the point of the hanyous were unknown still. Humans lived shorter than most youkai, and hanyous shorter than humans most of the time (seeing as they were normally killed if they were not wanted). Youkai were meant to be the dominant race, by all means, they lived longer and were far more advanced than humans this day and age. Their dominance may always stay on top, even if they were forced to do things that they did not want to do, just to fit in. Even evolution comes into the picture, as humans evolve, so do the youkai, only quicker. Results of these messed up starting points of evolution were odd deformities, such as humanistic characteristics or hanyou like kinds. Such as Taishi.

 

But, like all youkai, they had their instincts, some may be different than others, as well as their senses. Taishi was the only one who could tell when eyes were looking at her, or sense when youkai masking their youki (or aura) were watching her as well. A special sense that came from her evolution or deformity.

 

Instincts normally proved to be living alone in the wilderness, what there is to eat when actually hungry, or what to do in case of pregnancy. Male's instincts differed than females normally, and females with male instincts normally found themselves attracted to the same sex or vise versa, or sometimes, they learn to accept their male instincts and live as any other female. Though one couldn't say that those with opposite instincts didn't suffer. It is hard to function in this strict form of living that the youkai had found themselves living in for so long, as long as they could remember. No one dared to change it.

 

Their instincts prevented change, females could be alpha, but only over the lower males and all females that did not hold any ranking. Alpha females had no power over their mates, some tried, but they fell submissive under them with hardly any resistance. And, they were always raised to submit to their mates. No one questioned.

 

Taishi did though, she didn't submit completely, she was still young and knew she must obey the rules. She did question her mentors, and they never had answers for her.

 

She learned all about the humans, and how youkai were to always be superior to them. About how instincts kicked in at an important time in their life. That's all she was to learn, and the rest she would learn on her own or when she was older.

 

 

 

Taishi sat out in the courtyard, just daring anyone to watch her. She felt the eyes, her mother wanted to speak with her about something, but she dared not disturb her daughter when she was in her thoughts.

 

“Mother, is there something that you want to talk to me about? I know you're there...” she said softly, her tone full of respect for her mother. She tilted her head slightly, looking in the direction that her mother was in. Children learned to speak at a young age, they were very fluent with their native language as well as the verbal language of humans.

 

Like animals, they communicated with certain sounds, growls, grunts, and etc.

 

The Lady exited, chuckling a bit, “I guess it's what I get for trying to spy on my oh so talented daughter...”

 

Taishi gave a smile and a small laugh, “I'm not talented, I'm deformed...”

 

“No you aren't my baby girl, you are special...” she said softly, sitting beside the five year old and pulling her onto her lap, “Baby, mother's going to have another child soon... My Lord says that he wants to try for one more, but it won't be until you are older...”

 

“Why does father-- My Lord want another child? Is he ashamed how I turned out?” she asked suddenly, growling her dislike for the sudden topic and she pulled from her mother's arms and managed to leap over the great wall around the castle.

 

Her mother was distressed, how her daughter picked up leaping like that so quickly without learning even the basics stunned her. But now she was out in the open and bound to make it out of the protective barrier that was set. She rose and ran into the castle, crying out to her mate.

 

 

Taishi had tears in her eyes, she didn't like her father, he was ashamed of her. She was deformed, she was unwanted. No body would want her, even outside of the castle. Running through the barrier caused the girl to give a startled gasp, she didn't know what happened. She turned her head and the castle was missing, she closed her eyes and turned, not knowing what direction she was going and ran. She didn't want to go back, and she couldn't even if she wanted.

 

It took her a good ten minutes to get lost, completely lost and she could feel eyes on her. She opened her multicolored blue eyes, she was in a vast opening, surrounded by trees. She felt alone, even better now. She looked at a tree, eyes were on her still and there were whispers.

 

“Look, it's the Lord's daughter, no wonder he kept her locked up, she's a hanyou...”

 

“No, she's not, she's got a pure smell, not wretched like those hanyous... She's deformed...”

 

“Don't go near the deformed one, he knows the laws, he broke them himself, and he's a Lord. He didn't listen to the laws, what's wrong with him?”

 

“He's just being nice for his mate, that's why he's having a new child soon, or that's what being said... He'll toss her aside once that one's born...”

 

Tears burned her eyes once more, she felt like crap, that wasn't true. Or was it? She didn't know, and they didn't know that she could hear. Hearing the rustle of a bush, there was a kitsune youkai. He stalked toward her, his light colored sea green eyes were on her.

 

“Don't listen to them little one... They can't understand the complexity of you... You are not deformed, you're just better than us all.” He spoke, speaking in growls and barks.

 

“What do you mean? I'm not better than anyone... I'm different and not special...” she barked out softly, her own barks high pitched. They were speaking inu tongue, so that none of the other's could understand. But how this kitsune knew, was beyond her.

 

“Little one, you will learn in time... On your own, no one can tell you about what you are to become. I will take care of you for a few days, so you can learn that our Lord loves you with all his heart. You can call me big brother if you wish it little one...”

 

“Whatever you say, and I'll call you what I wish, I am going to be Lady of these lands... Big brother sounds nice though... I will go with you...”

 

The kitsune held out a gentle hand and Taishi placed her own hand in his.
