Hi everybody! I started writing this a while ago, and finally decided I might as well put it up on Fanfiction to see whether or not it sucks. So, review…. please?
Once upon a time, in a land now called Japan, a great demon lived, Lord of the Western Lands. The King of his castle. He had long silver hair, amber eyes, and elfish ears. His tail matched his father's, which he wore around his shoulder. He was beautiful and powerful, but was repulsed by his father's attraction to humans. So he killed his father's human wife, and soon his father died also. Only he and his half demon brother remained, departing immediately. After many years, young priestess Kikyo came to the amber eyed demon. She spoke and he knew she had been with Inuyasha. Angered by her words, he transformed into a huge dog, and attacked her. Saddened by his hatred, she placed a spell on him, which made him unable to return to his human form. Leaving him as this, she transfigured his dog form into a monster. The spell repelled all female demons, for she knew what he would try, and he would be forever lonely. But if he found a human, and learned to love her, and earn her love in return, the spell would be broken. But if not, he would be doomed for eternal isolation. He dismissed the idea at first, but when demons ran, afraid and disgusted by his appearance, he grew depressed, and angry. How could Lord Sesshomaru fall in love with a human? And what human would ever fall in love with a hideous dog?
Chapter 1: The Naraku MixRin was patching up the siding of their small home while her uncle was on the roof. They had just been attacked by another bear demon. Young Inuyasha had come to their rescue again, and slayed the demon, along with his companions, and his girlfriend Kagome. Inuyasha never stayed long; there was something he didn't like about the place. He would always grumble something to Kagome, and then she would announce they were leaving. It was a shame, but it couldn't be helped.
Rin thought the half demon was a hero, despite the fact that he had demon blood in him. She had learned to despise the demons, always wrecking everything, and killed countless people.
Rin had black hair cascading down her back, and chocolate eyes. She wore a purple kimono, and wooden sandals. She was a young girl of 16, living along the border of the Western Lands.
After finishing with the siding, she went inside her family's house, and started making lunch. It was just the two of them, her and her uncle. Her parents were long dead, and her uncle was like a father to her. While mixing their soup, a knock was heard on her door, and she sighed, and knew immediately who it was.
"Come in Naraku." She sighed.
A tall, dark and handsome man walked in, smiling at her, "Hello, my Rin."
Rin rolled her eyes, "What do you want Naraku? I'm busy. And don't act like I belong to you. I don't belong to anyone."
Naraku leaned against the door, "Not yet."
Rin glared at him, and he came closer to her, chuckling a little.
"Dear, sweet, beautiful Rin, I have a gift for you."
Rin looked up at him excitedly, and then started jumping up and down like a little kid, "What? What is it? Don't tell me you're not going to tell me! Tell me now! What is it? Huh? Huh? What?
Naraku got down on one knee, and said in a manly voice, "Me."
Two seconds later, Naraku was tossed outside, and a large bruise had formed on his head. Rin's uncle had come down from the roof, saw Naraku, and started laughing all the way into his house. Naraku glared, and then stalked off to wallow in his misery.
Later, Rin was helping her uncle while he got ready for his journey. He was going to another village, to gain some herbs for their priest. Her uncle was the traveler and scavenger for the village, and was often away. Rin was brushing the horse, while her uncle was saddling him.
"Rin, I'll just be gone a week at the most, and I know you can take care of yourself. Be careful of that nitwit Naraku, alright?" He warned.
She smiled, "Of course uncle. See you soon." She blew him a kiss, and then watched him ride off into the distance.
When she turned back to the house, Naraku was waiting for her, smiling casually.
"Naraku, what is it?" Rin sighed desperately.
Naraku held up his hands, "Hey, whoa, relax, okay? I was just wondering if you'd like to take a ride with me on my new horse"
Rin stared at him cautiously, "Were are we going?"
The boy smiled, "Where else? Into the Western Lands."
She glared, "You moron! You know that a huge demon lives there! Thank you, but I'd like to live a while longer. But if you want to commit suicide, go for it."
Naraku smiled still, "You remember when Inuyasha came? He stayed longer than any other time. I think what he's afraid of IS the demon. So, if he stayed, that means the demon is probably far away now!"
"Probably?" Rin questioned, but then started thinking of all the things she longed to do in there since she was a child. There were the most exquisite flowers there, and the air was so fresh…
"…Rin? Are you listening to me?" Naraku interrupted her thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I asked if you were coming to the forest with me. Just that far, alright?" He pleaded.
Rin hesitated, but then nodded, "Alright! I'll come with you."
Naraku beamed. He led her to where his horse, Matsuki, stood waiting expectantly. They both mounted the horse, and then Naraku lead the way through a path that hadn't been trodden on for ages. He stopped and watched in amazement as Rin got off and picked the enchanting flowers. Most of them had never been named, or their names were forgotten over such a long time. Rin was actually enjoying herself, breathing in the sweet scent of the trees, and having the wind blow through her hair. They came upon a clearing, and stopped to rest.
Rin looked around, and noticed it was getting dark, but the day had been so lovely, she felt no obligation to go back.
'For once, I'm actually having fun with Naraku! I don't believe it. Usually he's just being a perv.' She smiled.
Naraku was trying to be as manly as possible, which of course meant hurting himself. Rin was sitting on the grass next to Matsuki, watching in slight amusement. She felt a faint bump, and then a rumble in the ground. She looked around, but saw nothing. Figuring it was just Naraku, she slowly got up and started petting the horse.
Naraku stopped, and then started walking towards her once again, when a larger rumble was felt.
"That wasn't me!" Naraku protested.
"I know that!" She glared.
He hesitated, and then said, "Do you think maybe it's an earthquake?"
"I think you know exactly what it is Naraku," she climbed up on the horse, "Now get us out of here!" Rin was yelling now.
Naraku leaped onto his horse, and then kicked it underneath its legs. The rumble was now pounding in their ears, and rustling the trees.
"You moron! Why'd you make us ride so far into the forest"? Rin yelled.
"B-But we're not! And Inuyasha-""Who cares about Inuyasha?! We're dead! We're dead, we're dead, we're dead!" She screamed.
Trees were crashing down behind them, and the horse was stumbling over the roots, Rin looked back, and saw the white hair above the green treetops. It was the monster.
"Hold on Rin!" Naraku yelled.
The horse was pushing its limits, and still the beast was catching up, very quickly.
"Naraku! It'll be on us in one leap!" Rin shouted.
Naraku swerved and almost pushed Rin off, "Go! Run Rin! I'll protect you!"Rin stumbled, but then ran as fast as she could, as Naraku and the horse turned, soon becoming specks in the distance.
Naraku glared at the beast as it crashed into the ground in front of him, immediately making a clearing. The beast fur swerved up and around his body. His eyes were red, and menacing. Naraku leapt off Matsuki, and ran for protection behind a tree.
It was a demon of all demons. Naraku knew it could smell him, but hoped that it would eat Matsuki instead of him. The large dog looked around, and set its gaze upon the horse in front of him. The horse was frozen with fright, as it watched the beasts mouth open and close, showing a glimpse of it's its bloody sharp teeth. With one swipe, the horse was split, and the monstrous dog bent it's large head over it and started eating.
He had become a savage, not caring one wit about manners. True, he was a prince, but a beastly one. Before the demon finished it's dinner, Naraku quietly slipped away as he heard a roar behind him.
Normally, Sesshomaru would have killed him, but he was depressed, knowing he might be stuck like this forever. He was about 500, and he felt his childhood slip away from him. Not that it had been good, but everyone misses their childhood at times, even if they didn't have one. If he were in his attractive form, he'd look about 25, give or take a few years. The thought was stuck in his throat, but he managed to swallow it, and smelled the man leave. The girl's scent had disappeared, so he left without question to his castle in the very depths of the Western Lands.
Rin, on the other hand, was lost. She thought she'd been running straight, but she could never get out of the forest. The moon was up, and the sky was pitch black. With every noise, she was sure it was the beast. And with every step, she grew more wearisome, until it was more than she could handle. And she rested against a large tree. All was silent now, and Rin shivered, breathing heavily.
Then, something stirred in the tree. It was almost like it was thinking about something. Rin crept away, and behind her the roots un-dug themselves, and made a wall so that she could not escape. Rin screamed, and the roots lifted her up. Looking at the tree, Rin thought she saw eyes, and screamed louder.
Then, all was silenced buy a huge roar, and Rin swerved to find where it was coming from. It was very throaty, and very low. She glanced back at the tree, and there it was, a face, with an extremely pointy nose.
Rin was silent now, even though she was crying out on the inside. White lightning came from the sky, and out of the air came a two-headed dragon. They were arguing with each other about something Rin did not catch.
"…else could it be? Tree demons never-"
"Demon my butt! Trees are ob… obnot… stupid."
The dragon landed in the hole she was now in, and nodded to her, and whispered loudly.
"She is pretty""She's a girl!"
"Obviously!"
Rin looked at them strangely, 'Um, I can here you."
They jumped back, but then the head on the right bowed its head, "Excuse miss. I am Un, and this is On. Welcome to the Western Lands!"
Rin looked around at the towering roots, "Um, is this you welcome everyone? Have your big scary monster hunt them down, and then encompass them in tree roots?"
On looked at her blankly, but Un shook his head, "No miss, it is just that no one has come in such a long time!"
On smiled, "Especially a girl!"
Un smacked On with his snout, and then said, "It's much too late for a human girl to be out and about. Come, we'll take you to the castle!"
Rin looked nervous, "Um, no, really. I've got to get home, and, and, my uncle is probably worried sick."
Un and On looked extremely sad, when the tree spoke, "If you may miss, you'll never get there, especially sense you have no idea how to get there. Why don't you go home with Un and On, and then they'll take you home tomorrow morning, alright?"
Rin thought about it for a bit, and then saw Un and On cheesy pleading faces, and laughed, "All right."
Rin got onto Un and On, and then as they flew off asked, "Will that beast be there?"
Un and On looked at each other, and then Un said, "He should not be too much trouble."
Yeah! The first chapter! Yes, Un and On talk, and yes, Naraku is NOT himself. He's a worthless runt, incase you don't believe me. Please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My banana's thank you! ~Miaa
