To Live Like a Demon

Someone Like Me

~In the forest during the attack~

"What the hell kind of demon are you," said the man's deep and powerful voice. With one toss he threw Akara to the ground. Akara was shaking and couldn't stop and had no signs of it. She felt faint. "Well, speak woman!" roared the man.

All sorts of things were racing through Akara's mind now. What had he meant? All she could manage to say was "D-demon?" in a very frightened tone.

"What are you, an idiot, of course you're a demon!" boomed the voice. But all Akara could do was sit there and quiver when eventually she fainted.

~Early morning in a castle~

Akara woke up the next day unsure of what had happened. She looked around her surroundings noticing that she wasn't in the forest she was in the last night. She now noticed she was in a very nice room and a comfortable bed. Curtains hung by the window of the room. It was a much bigger room than she had ever seen. She found her belongings on a stand next to the bed she was in. Then she noticed all the cloth in the room was blue, which suited her very well. Akara fell back on the pillow hoping it was all a dream.

The door to her room slid open. Akara froze in her sheets wondering what would happen next. Very soon a middle aged woman appeared in the door. "Oh, you are awake," said the fair-haired woman sweetly. The woman also appeared to be very short.

"Where am I?" asked Akara woozily. "Who attacked me last night?"

"Oh dear, you must have amnesia," said the woman. "My name is Kiaro and I am one of the servants to the demon lord of these lands. He brought you in last night saying, excuse his harsh words, that you were a pathetic demon girl in need of much help. You got out quite lucky. Usually he just slays people who he find weak at first sight," the woman continued.

"I don't know what you're talking about," replied Akara, "I can't be a demon."

"How can you deny that you are? You are indeed a dog demon, now where did you come from, may I ask?" the Kiaro went on.

"I came from a village over the mountains," Akara said, now quite conferrable with the woman and speaking in her normal sweet tone.

"Was this village you came from inhabited by humans?" asked Kiaro.

"Yes."

"Who were your parents?" the lady asked.

"I don't know," admitted the girl, "They died when I was a baby."

"Ahhhh, I see now. The people you lived with kept your identity secret from you. That is very unfortunate. Well, you are a demon and that's all you need to know. I'm not very good at explaining this. When the master comes in he'll tell you all you need to know," Kiaro said.

At that moment the door slid open. A man who looked as though was the same person who attacked Akara the night before came in. He was indeed tall and slender. Long silvery hair flowed down past his waist and his golden eyes were menacing, yet beautiful.

Kiaro stood up immediately and bowed to the man. Then, after a brief moment she left the room making Akara feel very uncomfortable. The man remained in his standing position and set his eyes on the young woman. Immediately Akara looked down. The man's eyes were too powerful to gaze strait at.

"What is your name," said the man sternly. He did not say this as a question, but more as a command.

"Akara," said the girl in a very quiet tone.

For a long while the man just stared at her. Her scent was extremely satisfying. She smelled of strawberries in honey. She was also very beautiful. Although her appearance and smell was easy to take in, the man was not very interested in the girl herself. He didn't care much for weaklings. All he wanted to find out was how she could not know her own identity. When he found out he would slay whoever kept it from her. It was a crime in the man's eyes to do so.

"I am Sesshomarou-same. I am the owner of this house and the lands around it," said the man in a very strong tone.
