The Girl Who Steals Sesshoumaru's First Kiss
(11 years ago in the present and in the the Feudal Era 489 years)
It was a dark and dreary night, gray clouds showing hints of rain and bits of thunder, with a few hours left till the sun would start to rise. Deep in the heart of the misty, eerie wood of Feudal Japan, there was a red horse carriage being pulled by a demon called Ongokuki. These types of sneaky yet large demons lure human children by using a pan flute and typically, they would sell them to others for a steady profit.
This Ongokuki didn't have a pan flute that was made like the others; his was made with a Demon Serpents spine. He wanted the most beautiful demon children so he could sell them for a high price to human lords and mistresses. He had recently stolen six children from a medium sized demon village that had no grudges against humans, one called the Aoi Village.
Presently, there were demon children inside of the wicked carriage, and the Ongokuki was taking them far away from their homes. The children inside the carriage were shackled by their ankles, and all of them were wide awake, crying for their parents as they tried their hardest to break free. But none of them succeeded.
In the front, on the inside of the carriage, there was a group of three kids. One was an Inu-youkai boy, and he was at least twelve years old. He had gray eyes, lemonade blonde hair and slightly tanned skin. The other two children were girls that were clinging on to the boy for dear life. The girl on his left was also an Inu-youkai, one who had long and wavy lavender hair, pea green eyes shining out of the darkness. A blue stripe was seen on her cheeks, as was her dark skin. This child was but eleven years old. The girl on the boy's right was much younger, about seven years old. She was a Panther demon with pink hair, soft purple eyes and pale skin. Both of the girls were crying on his shoulder.
The girl with the purple hair spoke first through her sobs." What's going to happen to us Yaiko?"
"I don't know, Mayuko..." the boy answers. He wiped the pink haired girl's tears away, all the while telling her " Don't cry Chiyo, someone will come to save us and-"
" I wouldn't be so sure." The interruption was made from a girl that was across from the three captured children.
Three pairs of eyes took in the sight of the girl. She was eight years of age, with hair that was golden orange, cut in a boy's style, close to the head and ears. Her eyes were cold, not warm like the other children's, and they were crimson red, a small orange tint lining the area around her pupils. She had medium tanned skin and an aroma emanated off of her, that of apples, acai berry, and a tinge of earth. The difference between her and the other children, was that unlike them, she wore no shackles or chains around her ankles. Her clothing consisted of a strange night gown with thin straps, a black choker lining her neck. An Irish Celtic symbol was on the front of the outfit, and a white cherry-blossom necklace swung from her neck, on a fine silver chain.
The girl was hugging her knees and once more she spoke, her voice edged with iron.
" There isn't a person in the world who would want to save a bunch of kids that they don't even know or even care about. You're wasting your time on hopeful thinking."
Chiyo broke the silence first, and in a voice choked with sobs, answered the girl. "How could you say something like that?!"
"Who do you think you are?!" Mayuko yelled, anger rising in her tone.
After a moment, the seeming cold eyed girl answered. "My name is Hikari." There was a calm tone to her voice, nothing that of the anger and sadness in the other children.
Yaiko spoke then, a question on his lips." Tell me something Hikari, are you not hopeful?" Yaiko asked.
Hikari turned her head to look at him, and with the way her eyes were filled with pain, it made the boy flinch.. She started to speak. "I gave up on hope along time ago, because..." sadness and anger became prevalent on her features, and tears formed in the young girls eyes " my family..."
The carriage came to a sudden stop making all the kids shift from where they were sitting.
"Ouch." Yaiko mumbled when Hikari landed on top of him and a blush stained his features. Hikari noticed she was on top of him, and scurried off, blushing. Bashfully, she began to apologize.
"S-sorry, I-"
"Who goes there?!" The Ongokuki yelled furiously, Hikari and Yaiko bravely poked their heads out, wondering who the demon was talking to.
The moon had streamed out of the clouds, and in the light, a figure was clearly seen. It was a tall man with cold golden eyes, long metallic silver hair, and a blue moon crest on his fore-head. Demon markings. Two magenta stripes lined his cheeks, his hands, and some magenta lines were seen on his eyelids. The sign of royalty. A fur pelt lined his right shoulder, and his body was adorned with magnificent armor. The last thing that was seen was the sword on his left hip, one that had surely made many enemies fall to their deaths.
The Ongokuki immediately recognized the man. "L-Lord Sesshoumaru!" He scurried off to the carriage as fast as his legs would carry him.
'Lord Sesshoumaru?' Hikari dared not voice the thought, lest she get hope.
" Is it possible he is a paying costumer?" That was Hikari, voicing her own thoughts
"Why do you think that?" Yaiko turned to Hikari in his inquiry.
"LORD Sesshoumaru. Jimbo, the Ongokuki only sells to those who are rich, but his buyers are usually human. This guy is a demon, though that makes it weird..." Hikari shook her head. "Yaiko, it's not safe for you to stay here. If I am right, he will grab the first kid he sees or grabs. He tortures them in front of his buyers until they seem interested." She lost herself in memory then. "He always saw me but he would pick the ones right next to me"
"How do you know?" Yaiko questioned her. Hikari gave him the 'are you really that slow' look
"I have been with him for a week now, how could anyone not know that much in a week?" Yaiko could tell with the severity of her tone, that she was telling the truth.
The voice of Lord Sesshoumaru interrupted the children's frantic voices. He spoke with a calm tone, yet it was lined with ice." Why should I spare you? Years ago you tried to steal me away from The Lord of the West, my own father. You ended up failing to do so, and he was a fool to have let you live." He raised his hand in front of him, and it began to glow a bright green.
Jimbo backed away until he his back hit the carriage. Leering, he reached inside and Hikari saw that he was aiming for Yaiko. Without thinking, Hikari acted.
" Look out!" The saffron haired girl managed to push Jimbo out of the way, and he hit the ground. Still, he was up in an instant and grabbed her right arm, allowing for him to pull her out of the carriage.
Yaiko tried to reach for her, and yelled her name. "Hikari!!"
Jimbo had just realized he pulled out Hikari instead of the young inu-youkai boy. He spoke then, in a greedy tone" Sorry, Lil' miss I didn't mean to pull you out, let me put you back in." He made the motion of placing her back in the carriage, but stopped when Hikari spoke.
"No! Leave them alone! Just use me.... I am of no use to you and I don't want to see them suffer under your hands! I am willing to take their place." Jimbo looked at and grinned, showing he had no intention of following her orders.
"No way. You're my favorite and I would like to keep you so that when you're old enough, we can get married!" Hikari looked at him in disgust.
" Ew! I would rather marry someone in the carriage or that creepy guy!" she paused to point to Lord Sesshoumaru, and he was silent as always,"You're just not my type!"
Jimbo chuckled, as if he found her bravery amusing. "What can you do in your condition? You hurt your left ankle badly because of the shackles, you are weak and you can't do anything." He licked her cheek with his tongue, igniting anger in the young girl.
Hikari got began grinding her teeth, feeling anger course through her being. "Don't ever...lick my face!!" She swung her legs up in the air and managed to kick him square in the face.
"You Wench!!!" Jimbo attacked her, and she was slammed into the closest tree, left gasping for air. Jimbo made his hand a fist. "I'll kill you!!!"
Before he could hit her, he was sliced to pieces from a whip made of a green light, that of which came from Sesshoumaru's hand. He walked over to Jimbo's dead corpse, and retrieved a pair of keys. He turned on his heel and strode over to Hikari. She brought herself up to her knees and looked up at him, wondering what the Demon Lord meant to do. Sesshoumaru dropped the keys in front of her, and just as he did that, the heaven's released sprinkles of rain from the clouds above head. Hikari met his eyes, and found she could not look away if she tried.
They stared at each other for a few moments, neither knowing what to say. The silence was broken by Sesshoumaru.
"You were reckless. You'll end up getting yourself killed." He turned on his heel to walk away but paused in his steps suddenly. He felt something grasp his hand, and he looked down, noting that Hikari was holding his hand with her own small ones. She looked at him with pleading eyes, the eyes of a child.
"Please, help them." She motioned towards Yaiko and Mayuko, of which were poking their heads out of the carriage." They need to go back to their homes, back to their families and-"
In a cold tone, Sesshoumaru interrupted her. "My intention was to settle the score, not to help out children in need of assistance." Hikari looked at him then, determination filling her eyes. It was the look of a child that wanted their way.
"Then help me get them home.... I can't do it alone." Sesshoumaru felt a strange power stir from the girl, an aura rising around her body.
" I understand."
Hikari gave him a small smile. "I am in your debt."
"You would be of no use for me." Hikari face began to pout, but there were other matters at hand, and getting angry at being called useless was not on the agenda.
"Um…can you free them?"
He raised a silver eyebrow. "Why should I?"
"Because I can't move, remember? I hurt my ankle plus I got pretty banged up from Jimbo." Her voiced was laced with attitude, as if she would not take a refusal from him.
Sesshoumaru sighed and knew that he would help her then.
He freed the children by breaking their chains with his whip of light, and bits of shackles went everywhere, declaring the children's freedom.
As the kids got out, Hikari got up and limped over to Yaiko. She looked to Chiyo and began an apology. " I'm sorry I made you cry, I took out my feelings on you."
Chiyo looked at her and smiled," It's okay, in a way, I thought you were strong...."
While they were talking, Sesshoumaru finished destroying the carriage, carrying out his vendetta to the end.
Sesshoumaru then began to walk towards the village, the one that the children were taken from. The demon children trailed behind him, following him, their silver haired savior. The Taiyoukai noticed that Hikari was falling behind the children, a limp interfering with her movements. She was trying to keep up, but all the while had a painful look in her eyes. He stopped suddenly, and the children did as well.
Sesshoumaru walked up to Hikari, a cold gleam coming to his eyes. Bewildered, Hikari began to speak. "What? What did I do now??" In her mind, her thoughts were racing. 'What's he going to do to me??'
Sesshoumaru bent over and without a word, picked Hikari up bridal style. In an annoyed tone, Hikari began to speak. "I don't need your kindness."
In that familiar icy tone, Sesshoumaru spoke again. "This isn't kindness, you're simply just to slow."
Hikari turned her head and spoke softly, so no one else could hear. "Either way, thank you."
Sesshoumaru stayed silent for a moment, and then mumbled a sound. "Hn."
After a small while, the traveling companions reached Aoi Village. Everyone saw a group of demons with torches, looking around desperately for something in the dark. Chiyo saw that one her grandmother was there, an old panther demon. She had light purple eyes and long gray hair that swung in a low ponytail. Out of happiness, she began to cry out "Grandma Aoi!"
The small girl ran into her grandmother's arms. Aoi embraced her and began weeping, her voice choked with sobs. "Chiyo! I'm so glad your safe!"
"Grandma, it was so scary!" Yaiko and Mayuko ran up to Aoi and hugged her as well.
" I'm glad you two are safe also." She smiled, and tears ran down the children's faces as well, happy that they were spared from an inevitable tragedy.
The other children ran to their parents or guardians, crying out of relief and happiness that they were home and safe. Hikari, who was still being held by Sesshoumaru, observed the other kids, and out of nowhere, felt an immense sadness seize her. She hid her face in Sesshoumaru's fur pelt, and if Sesshoumaru noted her anguish, he said nothing.
Aoi, Chiyo, Mayuko and Yaiko walked up to Sesshoumaru and Hikari. Aoi smiled and began speaking to Sesshoumaru "What a surprise! The mighty Lord Sesshoumaru helping a bunch of kids! I should thank you."
Sesshoumaru shook his head " My intention was to get settle the score, not to save some children from a soon to be horrible experience."
Aoi felt confusion knit her brow. "Then why did you bring them back?"
"Because this annoying child," Sesshoumaru gestured to Hikari " would not let me be, not even if I killed her." Aoi looked at both of them, a smile widening her features.
" Then I should thank you both, wouldn't you agree?" She slightly nodded her head.
Aoi bowed in respect. " Thank you both for bringing the children back safely... Chiyo, Mayuko, Yaiko, give them your appreciation."
All three of them said in unison," Thank you."
Sesshoumaru said nothing and Hikari gave them a small smile. Aoi stared at Hikari, it started to make Hikari a little uncomfortable.
Aoi turned to Hikari, a question in her eyes. " Where is your family?" Hikari didn't say anything but her eyes told Aoi about her life's story." I see, you are an orphan then.... why don't you live here with us? We don't mind having a human in the village, usually humans hate us." Aoi smiled to the girl.
Hikari looked to the sky and saw that the sun was rising. A feeling seized her, the same feeling she had when she was brought to his world, from her own world. Hikari tugged on Sesshoumaru's sleeve, attempting to catch his attention. "Um...."
"Hm?" Sesshoumaru turned his head to look at her, and was caught off guard by her action. Hikari brought her lips to his cheek, and she was close enough to capture his lips in her own. But it was meant for gratitude, and nothing more. Hikari leapt from Sesshoumaru's arms and looked back at the youkai, who appeared to be annoyed that she has kissed him. She smiled then, and simply said "Thank you, big brother." A white light surrounded her, along with feathers, and she disappeared.
The other demons looked at each other and began whispering amongst themselves.
"Grandma Aoi, was she a human or a demon?" Yaiko asked Aoi.
Aoi looked at him, and he looked like he wished to know the answer. She shook her head. "We may never know. Now we should all go to bed for a little while at least." everyone agreed and left to their houses.
Aoi turned to Sesshoumaru and started, "You know.." Sesshoumaru looked at Aoi's direction "Hm?". "She seemed quite fond of you." she smiled and left with the children. Sesshoumaru stay silent for only a moment and he said under his breath,"Ridiculous..."
Sesshoumaru then glanced at where Hikari had just been standing, and began walking away. He saw a white cherry-blossom necklace, and assumed it hers. 'This must have belonged to her' His hand began to glow a bright green color, and he meant to destroy the necklace. 'This thing does not belong in this world.' Before he obliterated the necklace, it hit the sunlight and nearly blinded him with a pure white light. 'Light?' He then recalled when Hikari, the owner of the necklace thanked him, and the sound echoed in his head.
He bent over to pick up the necklace, and saw that there was writing on the back. It said: "To our special girl, H------ we love you forever. Your Family." He stared at it in silence.
Then he heard a familiar voice," Lord Sesshoumaru!" He then hid the necklace in his clothes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(11 years later in the present, 501 years in the Feudal Era)
It was bright sunny day, and Sesshoumaru had currently been resting on top of a tree near Kaede's village. He was tired because he had just come back from a long journey, and Rin had asked him to stay for a little while. He could never refuse her.
He opens his eyes slowly and replayed the dream in his mind once more' I thought I would have forgotten that ever happened...' He sighed aloud. 'How could I, I still have this.' Sesshoumaru pulls out the white cherry-blossom necklace, and stared at it for a long time.
Then Kaede, the old miko of the village, called out to Sesshoumaru," Lord Sesshoumaru, I ask of ye to do a favor."
He didn't say a word, but descended from the treetops. Then he spoke. " What is it that you wish for me to do?"
Kaede got to the point. "There is a gathering of demons heading toward this village, I need ye to exterminate them."
Sesshoumaru replied then. "Why not Inuyasha?"
Kaede sighed then said," Inuyasha left with Miroku to do another job, and ye know that Sango is a mother to three children, Kagome and Rin are helping me with making more medicine, we have no other choice but to ask ye."
Sesshoumaru stayed silent for a second and nodded his head. "Which direction are they coming from?"
"From the East, ye must hurry." Sesshoumaru immediately left for the East, and took to the skies.
Jaken saw Sesshoumaru in the sky, and cried out to him." Don't leave me here, My Lord!" Jaken trips over The Staff of Two Heads and passed out almost immediately.
After an hour of flying it began to rain. Sesshoumaru was then reminded of that dream again, and was lost in memory. 'This reminds me of the day...'
He began having flash backs about what happened eleven years ago with her, the little girl with the short orange hair.
A demon cried from the distance and that snapped him out of his reverie. He looked at the ground in front of him and saw an huge army of demons. Sesshoumaru landed on the ground in front of them, not fearing them in the least.
The leader was a Warthog demon who held a huge axe bigger than himself. He was larger than the rest of the demons, and he began to speak. "Halt men!" Everyone stopped in their tracks. The warthog, Hoshiro sized Sesshoumaru up." Step aside, little man! You are no match for me, Hoshiro and my army!" Sesshoumaru snorted and took out Bakusaiga.
"We shall see."
Hoshiro smirked." ATTACK!!!!!" They all charged at Sesshoumaru.
"Bakusaiga!" A green light came out of Bakusaiga, and he struck his sword towards the demons, the lashing green light severing many demons that crossed his path. This battle continued on for a few hours, and though Sesshoumaru began to feel himself grow weary, he would not let himself be injured, or much less killed by some pathetic demons.
After an eternity, he reached Hoshiro, covered in blood and panting heavily. Even he had his limits. Sesshoumaru was covered in demon blood and was barely able to stand.
'What's wrong with me? I feel like I'm about to faint. I can barely see anything.'
Hoshiro's laughter broke his thoughts" Look at you! You're completely exhausted, you can barely keep your sword up!" He said all of this with a hint of cockiness.
Hoshiro smirked, he brought out his axe. "Even though this was fun, I've decided to kill you here and now!" He rushed toward Sesshoumaru with his axe up in the air, and as he was about to attempt to strike him down, a few bullets had hit his arm. They pushed him to side and blew his arm to pieces. He let out a painful cry and held his damaged arm to his chest. "Who the hell did that?" No one answered. He ground his teeth together. "Come on out you coward!"
Out of the darkness, a woman's voice was heard." Coward?! You would beat a man who is out of breath and ready to fall? That's sounds like a real coward." Hoshiro looked around, trying to follow the sound of the woman's voice. Even Sesshoumaru had a hard time ascertaining where it came from. Then, it all came clear. He heard where she was, for she announced herself with the snap of a twig. From his left, he saw a rush of orange aim for Hoshiro. "Shift!" A large sword sliced Hoshiro in half, and when the melee was done, Sesshomaru saw the woman.
She had long orange hair that was about his own length, and when she turned to face him, he saw that her eyes were covered in a black blindfold. Looking at it, he lost immediate consciousness.
