Almost Perfect

Disclaimer: If I was Rumiko Takahashi, I wouldn't be writing this.

A/N: Hey everybody! I decided to start a new fanfic with my character! NO ONE may take my character since I have created her. To all the 'Starting out Fresh' fans, I'll try to make a sequel to it! Now, to the story.

Chapter 1: Almost Perfect.

'Perfection is the illusion we desire to become real.'

A young woman was at the edge of a hill, with corpses surrounding her. Her once beautiful, silver kimono was now torn apart, with splatters of blood on it. Her long black hair was now messy and tangled. She wiped her eyes. I lost everyone and everything……my mother and father, my brothers…… Why did it have to be this way? The sky was a pure blue, but the ground was filled with blood and flesh everywhere instead of the healthy green grass. She walked over to her father's corpse, lying there, his brown eyes idly staring at her. Her head was full of echoes of her family's cries, screaming in pain.

'Miss! What is such a beauty like you doing in such a bloody battle scene?' she looked up and saw a small green toad waddling over to her, a staff in his hand. 'You're clothes are torn and you look terrible!' He thought for a moment. 'My master is looking for a demoness as a mate, and you seem like just the one he's looking for! I hope you accept my invitation to come to his castle.' I do need to clean up; maybe this could be a good thing for me, to help myself get stronger from what has happened. She thought to herself.

'I accept your invatation.'

Sesshomaru sighed deeply at the enormous stack of papers placed on his desk. He wasn't in the mood. He needed a mate, a demon to help bring a heir, and a respected one to the Youkai throne. But he didn't want a regular one. He wanted the perfect mate. He would settle for no less. He had sent Jaken to find her, not only for the quest, but to keep himself from killing him. He sensed Jaken coming up to the door. Speak of the devil, he thought to himself, sighing again.

'Master Sesshomaru!' Jaken croaked.

'You better have something, Jaken, or expect your head ten feet from your body.' Sesshomaru said in his cold voice. Jaken entered the room.

'I do, and the perfect one! We had found her a few days ago, and I think she's the one! Brown eyes, hair as dark as the midnight sky. Once you see her, Lord Sesshomaru, you will probably agree!'

'Show her to me.' Sesshomaru ordered him. Jaken waddled away, and soon came back. A young demoness stepped into the room……

-------0-----------------------0-------------------0--------------------

The almost perfect demoness. Jaken was right; she was beautiful in almost every single way.

It was her skin.

Her skin was a light brown color. Sesshomaru had never seen anyone with a shade of skin like that, only in books he had read before. She had big chocolate brown eyes, and she also had full lips. She had no stripes on her face, but he knew she was from an important family because of a gold sun with a star in the middle of her forehead. He didn't know where she was from though. Her long, curly hair was down to her waist, with a golden barrette holding it up. She was slim, and her golden kimono was a contrast between her own skin. She was beautiful, but she wasn't perfect. She was almost perfect.

Sesshomaru rubbed his temples. She was so close to what he had imagined. Something inside told him to give her a chance. Well, it's not like anything is going to happen between us anyway. He thought to himself.

'Jaken.'

'Yes lord Sesshomaru.'

'Go get the girl.'

'Yes lord Sesshomaru.' The girl came into the room.

'You requested me?' She asked him, curtsying. Sesshomaru almost chuckled when he saw the surprised expression she had on her face when she saw the emotionless face. Wow. He's different, I can tell. She thought to herself.

'What is your name?' he asked in his usual tone of voice.

'My name is Soledad, Sesshomaru-sama.'

'Where are you from?'

'I am from Madrid, Spain.'

'Hmph. If you are from Spain, like you say you are how do you know Japanese then?'

'My father was the leader of the military, and he would take our family to go with him on trips that took him every where. I tried to learn the language when we were on our long trips so I could communicate with the citizens of the country.'

'What other languages do you know?'

'Well, I know Japanese, Spanish, English, and French.'

'Interesting. Very interesting. Seeing as you need somewhere to stay, I will let you live her for 3 months, unless I inform you. Do I make myself clear?'

'Yes. Thank you, Sesshomaru-sama.' She curtsied again.

'Get out the room! Lord Sesshomaru has a lot of work to do, without you in the way!' Jaken yelled to her.

'Well, someone's being rude! I was about to leave, tu estupido pequeno sapo!' she said to him, walking away. Speaking of rude, Sesshomaru was rude too! He didn't even say my name ONCE! She thought as she walked over to her room. She left an amused Youkai and a confused toad in Sesshomaru's study. She's different, very different. Sesshomaru thought as he ordered Jaken out of the room and continued to work on the stack of papers on his wooden desk.

Okay, that was Chapter one! I hoped you liked it! I will accept reviews as long as they are not flames! For all the Non-Hispanics, you'll find out what 'Soledad' means and what she had said before later in the story.

P.S. I wasn't sure what to call her skin color, but I wanted it to be like Tyra Banks' skin tone. Remember, no flames, just advice! Alright see you later! Bye!
