Chapter 1THE DEAL
Kikyo sat in a tree, her eyes closed, as her soul collectors brought her the souls that she needed to stay in this realm. Finally her body consumed the last soul and her eyes snapped open. She looked over as a young man with long black hair whom she did not recognize came into view. His face was pale white and he had cold black eyes. On top of this he was shockingly handsome but some thing was terribly unnatural about him and all of her instincts screamed at her to run she ignored them and did not move.
“Ah I see that you're awake”, he said his voice drew out each word slowing as if relishing the fear radiating from her.
“Who are you?” demanded the priestess
“Someone who has a proposition for you”, he answered coolly ignoring the curtness of her voice.
“I don't work for or with any one”, Kikyo said lightly not even bothering to get out of the tree that cradled her.
“Ah”, said the man simply a smirk creeping in to his face, “But you see you have no choice!” Without warning two Snake demons came out of no ware and struck at Kikyo. With out even flinching she leaped down from her tree and pulled out her bow. In the blink of an eye both demons lay on the floor purified and disintegrating.
He smiled “So it's true you have unbelievably strong powers even for a Miko” he said excitedly. A bear demon rushed art her again seemingly out of no-ware. Kikyo took care of it effortlessly then lowed her bow and turned back to him. The man sighed “Must you ruin my fun?” he asked in mock sadness.
“Don't under estimate me,” said Kikyo, her face vacant of any emotion but boredom.
“Who me?” he asked tauntingly “Oh I know perfectly well what your capable of” Two more demons came this time they were boar demons. They lowered their tusks and charged at her” Kikyo dodged them easily and was just pulling back on her bowstring when she felt an arm snake around her neck, she froze not daring to move. How had this wretched man gotten past her guard?
“Now now, what have these poor demons done to you…yet” he asked in a sing song voice.
“You're insane” She hissed knowing full well that it was useless to try to get free.
“Says you, but I'm not the one who's dead now am I?” he whispered into her ear she shivered slightly out of fear his voice promised pain beyond measure. She tried one last attempted to get free by kicking his shin but he didn't even wince.
“Dam you to hell whoever you are she growled”
“Now, now be a good girl and cooperate won't you?” he asked running his free hand through her hair and yanking a lock. Kikyo didn't answer keeping a strait face refusing to give him the pleasure of her fear. A look of anger came over the mans face, “No? Fine then I'll just have to make you then.” he snarled.
Kikio gasped as his free hand jabbed something sharp into her chest. She struggled to stay conscious for a few seconds, then all went black.
The man sneered and threw the unconscious miko to the ground. “Bring her”, he snapped at the boar demons that still stood near by. They obeyed carefully scooping up the woman.“Perfect” he thought sneering maliciously He shook his head and began to walk away. “Soon you will under stand what an important part you play dear girl, though you are just a pawn in this game of chess not only will you destroy my enemy but you'll help me obtain the key to my new empire.”
