Battle

Hello everyone this is my first story on Dokuga but it is not my first story that I have written for a website so I hope you guya enjoy it. So as I say on my other reading website, sit back and enjoy the exillerating ride of the story.

Chapter 1: Battle

Shippo and I run through the forest along the border of the Western Lands, which we have called our home for the last ten years. Shippo has grown much taller in that time and is now almost as tall as me, in my new form. The reason for my change is that I asked the gave the completed jewel to Shippo give each of my to make the right one wish. Shippo wished that, I be given a body that would stand the test of time, so that I could teach him and live as long as him.

I changed that day into a white fox demoness. White fox demons are rare and females are even rarer, because we are hunted for our lovely fur coats and our three tails each of, which increases its owners Ki exponentially. To help explain why now it talks about 4 tails and then later you say she has three. Deep gold stripes grace my cheeks, wrists, and waist. In the last nine years, I have changed my attire from that of modern times to a kimono over hakamas. My kimono is silver with a black outlining and black hakamas.

Shippo and I had been traveling along the border for about six hours when we heard a scream of pain. We headed towards the scream and pull up to a stop when we saw a group of four mikos and five monks surrounding Sesshomaru. They had him tied down to the ground and were stabbing him with arrow points to torture him. Shippo and I growled loudly, catching the attention of all of the beings in the clearing.

"Oh, just our luck a lovely white three tailed kitsune and a kit," whispered a monk.

"Ah, such lovely hair and fur she has. Just imagine the value of her  fur let alone her tails. She seems to be very well kept much unlike most other demons," replied a miko.

I growled loudly at the meaning of those words. These idiots are the holy version of trappers. I looked around and saw the reason why Sesshomaru had allowed himself to be captured.

"Run Shippo and Lady kitsune," Rin screamed.

The man holding Rin slapped her across the face. I was before the man less than a second later, with Shippo is guarding my back. I smirked as I could feel the power of the spell. The monk holding Rin gasped as he realizes that the spell had no effect on me what so ever.

"Never mess with a white, three tailed kitsune darling. We have many secrets and have plenty of hidden abilities. Plus it helps having miko powers," I whisper in his ear before I rammed my hand through his neck.

I grabbed Rin around the waist and carried her over to a safe spot, a bit higher up on the hill. I raised a barrier around her and smiled down at her, like I used to when we met when I was human. She returned the smile, as I run back to the fight. I pulled out my sword Mizu Doragon and one of my Sais. As I moved to Sesshomaru’s side, I cut through the reiki powered ropes releasing him. I used my reiki to destroy the ofundas, so that they didn’t cause any more damage to Sesshomaru. Shippo was killing the Monks, while I was dealing with the mikos, who were firing arrows at me trying not to kill me as they didn’t wish to ruin my pelt in my demon form. I hissed as one of their arrows grazed one of my tails. My tails thrash in my anger.

'Let me out. These mikos are a threat to our life and to those who we are here to protect,' my demon, Shini, commands.

'No Shini. I will most likely have to deal with a very pissed off inner demon of Sesshomaru's once this is over,' I remind her.

Shini shuts up and allows me to go about killing the mikos. After the deaths of the first two, the mikos no longer cared about the fur bounty, but their own survival. They stood close to one other, within easy reaching distance. I smiled and charged forward. I ignored the arrow that landed on me and quickly dispatch of both mikos with no problem what so ever. Shippo is finished with the killing of the five monks. I turned to see that Sesshomaru with red eyes and he was very angry.

I bowed at the waist and twisted my head to the side, showing my submission to the great Demon Lord of the West. He growls at me and moves forward. After a few steps he is in his humanoid form staring at me.

"Mi' Lord," I said calmly.

"What is with you kitsune and meddling in other people’s business," asked Sesshomaru.

"I am sorry mi' Lord, if we have offended you. We heard the screams of young Rin and came running. If you will excuse us mi' Lord, we have somewhere else to be at right now," I stated with a bow of my waist.

I turned and started to run, but was stopped by a barrier. I growled lowly at his audacity. Sesshomaru grabbed me by my neck and slammed me against the other side of the barrier.

"You dare to turn your back on me bitch," Sesshomaru's inner demon growled out.

"Yes, I dare Sesshomaru. I have spent many years in battle. Most of the battles against demons and half demons who have thought themselves higher than me just because I am a female," I replied angrily, "I have survived in places where other people would have died."

"Who are you?" demanded Sesshomaru.

"Shippo is she your mother?"  Rin asked.

"She is my adopted mother,” Shippo answered Rin with a smile. 

“Mother we need to leave now if we are going to reach the village in time for you to be of any use to Sango," Shippo reminded me.

"Ah, thank you for reminding me," I replied.

"Kagome-sama!"  Rin yelled.

"Yes, Rin it is me," I said as Sesshomaru released me from his grip. "Come Shippo," I command.

"Return to my castle in three weeks kitsunes," commanded Sesshomaru.

Shippo and I nodded, as we headed out of the clearing and towards the old slayer village. So, he wants an explanation does he? He will have to wait longer than three weeks; I plan on staying in the village until next spring.

"Do not be late or I will hunt you down and kill the slayer, monk, and their offspring," ordered Sesshomaru, loud enough for me to hear.

I growled loud enough that he can hear me, but low enough that no other demons in the area can hear of my dissension. Shippo chuckled knowing that I had most likely planned on making him wait, before he said that. I shaked my head and just picked up the pace. I wanted to be able to spend as much time with my adopted family. It took us a day and a half of traveling, nonstop for us to arrive at the old slayer village. We were met at the gates by a heavily pregnant Sango and a slightly older Miroku. Both had their weapons ready.

"Have you come just to cause us more problems? You are different than the last batch. Go tell your master that it shall always end in the same way, defeat," yelled Sango nearly breaking my very sensitive ear drums.

So what do you guys think. Let me know please thank you. Oh and the song for this story is Skin by Rhianna.
