InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Vengeance ❯ Thoughts ( Chapter 2 )

The young female sighed, dropping to the ground from exhaustion. “So… tired. But… I can't rest. Not until I've found him.” She ran her hands up her arms, feeling the scars made so long ago. “He must be punished. I cannot rest until my claws are covered with his blood.” She looked over to her wrist. There, she wore a hand woven bracelet with seven turquoise stones. “My mother made this for me, for my safety. My father told me to think of her always when I looked at them. But now, I only think of you. Thoughts of your demise fill my head. You will perish, Sesshomaru. I promise to avenge my father's death. Even if it kills me.”

 

Close by, Sesshomaru stood watching his young charge while she gathered flowers. He had sent Jaken away with Ah-Un so that his quest would not be interrupted by the pathetic toad's ramblings. He could not stop thinking of the demoness that he villager had said was searching for him. “He said she was out for revenge. That much I understand. This demoness destroyed an entire village in a fit of rage. I have never heard of anyone so powerful, save Naraku. Even I needed the assistance of smaller demons from time to time. What could I have done to anger her so?” He looked over to Rin, humming happily and plucking flower from the ground for her protector. “Rin is such a simple girl. She cared for me, even though I was a youkai. I could never harm, her, even if I tried. So, why is it that I find it so simple to harm others and not her? What keeps me from taking her life with just one blow?” Rin looked over to him and smiled. His face remained emotionless, as it always did. “Why do I care for this girl so?”

 

The demoness sniffed the air. “He's close. I can feel it.” She ran towards the scent. Something was different, but she couldn't place it. She ignored the nagging thought and raced forward. Silver hair swished in the distance. “It's him! Sesshomaru, you perish by my hand and no others. Today, you will die and take your rightful place in hell!” Hand on her katana, she raced forward. She ran as fast as her legs would allow. “It's time, Sesshomaru.” Her bracelet slipped up and down her arm as she ran, reminding even more what she had to do. She leapt from tree branch to tree branch, flexing her claws. She laughed loudly as she planned out the battle in her head. “Victory will be mine today. I will avenge my father's death and destroy my worst enemy, all at the same time. If my body should give out during the fight, I only pray that it is after I deliver the fatal blow. That way, I may go to the other realm in peace.”
