Summary: A girl who was brought up never knowing the true meaning of love. Abandoned by her father at birth little Shinobu never knew what it was like to have a family. When nobody took her in the gods sent her to Haku, The Father of Time. With an extremely dangerous job in mind Haku put her to work as The Azrael (the Angel of death). What happens to Shin when a little girl convinces her that the after life is the best part of dying and living?
A/N: Alright you guys I've been itching to write another story and yes this is somehow related to Inuyasha. Shinobu is Rin and Sesshomaru's daughter. So that's how I got the whole abandoning thing. Now, I am going to write the story on how Shin came to be, so tune in for that too. If people review maybe I'll update every week! Oh yeah isn't it kind of cool that she turns demon on one night on the month and not human! So enty wayz on with the story!
Disclaimer: i do not own Inuyasha! Gosh!
"Why? Why me?" the young girl asked herself as she huddled in the dark corner of the room.
She clutched her arms around her knees as pain pierced through her body.
Her ears soon became pointed as her demon blood flowed through her.
Her nails turned to claws and she quickly let go of her knees as her claws dug in.
Little fangs grew out were normal canine teeth should have been, and peeked out over her bottom lip.
She released her knees as the sharp pain gave away.
"Why must I do this?" She asked aloud.
A tall man walked into the dark room.
He had long silver hair and appeared to be demon. Actually nobody knew what he was.
If he was demon, human or even in between.
The only thing that people, well actually demons, knew was that he was the first being in this world and probably would be the last.
He was formally known as the Father of Time, A.K.A. Haku.
"Shinobu, you were born to do this job, do not deny it," Haku said answering her question.
"Don't call me that!" she hollered at him.
She hated her name it was so stupid.
She would rather be called Shin.
"You cannot deny your name nor your destiny," Haku said calmly.
Shin quietly huffed in her corner.
Why did he have to be so wise and "all knowing".
Well he had, lived since the beginning of time, so he had to be wise.
But he only acted like this when she was demon, on this one day of the month.
"Here is your list," he said tossing a scroll of paper to her.
"It's quite long today so I suggest you get started," he said leaving out the room.
She looked down at the list, he was right it was really long.
She got up out of her corner and walked over to her grim little closet.
She opened the door and pushed the other clothes aside to reach in the back.
Her hand automatically grabbed the dark black robe she was looking for.
She pulled it over her head and watched as her skin got paler with the dark power of the robe.
Shin snapped her fingers and a tall black scythe appeared in her hand, the long silver blade shining in the dim moonlight.
"Well, here I go," She said snapping her fingers and poofing to the person's house on the top of her list.
A few seconds Later
As she materialized she noticed she wasn't in the presence of a bad soul. Normally the people she killed were either in anger or in grieving.
This soul was neither, it was in peace.
Shinobu approached the bed and saw where the person's mother wept over the body.
As Shinobu got closer she realized it was a girl, and not much younger than she was.
The girl's soul then started to talk to her.
"Are you here to kill me?" she asked Shin.
"Yes," Shin solemnly replied. She didn't want to kill this girl.
She was young and had her whole life to live.
"Don't feel guilty," the spirit said as if reading Shin's mind.
"I want to die, you don't know how much suffering I've been through."
Wait she wanted to die. "But," Shin protested trying to change the girls mind.
"Please free my soul!" the girls spirit said pleading with Shin.
With out another second to spare Shinobu sliced through the chain that bound every living individual to this world.
As soon as the chain was split the girl's spirit floated up in to the heavens.
"Thank you," were her last remarks.………………………………...
Back at Haku's Place
Why was that girl so happy? She had just died.
Then Shin remembered the girl's last words.
"I want to die, you don't know how much suffering I've been through." the words echoed through her mind.
"Free my soul!" After remembering these words Shin broke down into tears.
Why did she have to be the Azrael (The Angel of Death)
If the after life was so great how come she couldn't get there?
Why did she have to be immortal, Haku had told her himself, she would never die.
She cried even harder at this thought. But then an idea popped in her head.
Haku had once said that everyone was bound to this world by their own earthly chain.
No one could pass on unless their chain was cut by her.
If this was true, she wasn't immortal, she could cut her own chain!
She picked up her scythe and raised it in the air as she normally did before she killed someone.
A red chain appeared around her ankle, and just as she was about to cut it Haku burst through the door.
"Shin Don't do it!" he cried out to her. But it was already too late she had cut it………………………………...
A searing pain ran through her body as she was pulled into the darkness…………………
