A Sacred Jewel!?(Yuuki)

[Inu Yasha]

The night was chilly, a laughable prologue for the winter that was to come. The wind was still, rising up only occasionally, as if to remind people that it still existed. It wasn't terribly late at night, but the cold mixed with the lack of snow drove most people to the comfort of their homes. And those few who were out on the streets were wandering, silent and alone, waiting for something to come and break the monotony. This allowed a deep silence to fall upon the town , a silence not entirely normal. It was almost unnatural for the active town to be this quiet...usually the streets were plagued with strange sounds that usually led one's mind to assume the supernatural.

The silence was shattered suddenly, but not by any "supernatural" source. A wooden stick clattered across the empty street, catapulted from its resting place by a careless foot, clad in a red cloak with short dog ears and long silver hair. This sound was immediately followed by a monotone voice whose lack of emotion belied its words. "Crap..."

Inuyasha was here to get a piece of the Shikon Jewel Shards while being aware of its presence by Kagome today. After a long and dedicated fight with the incarnations of Naraku the youth would want his team to rest a little bit as he decides to go on this one alone. Of course if it was a mission , he'd go snatch it at night since he didn't want to disturb any human , however from the sudden sound that he just did would surely provoke a few people to wake up... Or not?... It was a small noise though precautions should still be taken... This was a small village after all !

''So where do I start to search...? Kagome told me that it was somewhere in this village though... I don't sense any demonic energy here... Is it hidden somewhere?''

[Sango / Yuuki Mizuo]

Yuuki sat up in her bed, her head ached. A quiet sound of wood hitting the streets rang through her house. It was quiet. She got out of her bed and put on a robe. Her long black hair flowed behind her with every movement she made. The wind brushed through the trees. She could hear every sound that it made. The scratches on the roof, the neighs of her companion, Cho. She did not understand how it could be this quiet. She walked out of her room and into her fathers. His room was dark. Shadows of books and statues from far away places painted the walls. She sighed. Yuuki wished her father was back. She missed his presents. Just knowing he was there made her feel better. Yuuki hated to be alone, even though it was the only life she knew. The paintings of her mother hung crookedly on the wall, she longed to fix it, but she wouldn't dare to touch it. Her father placed it there, and she must leave it there.

Yuuki's mind raced. She wished her mother didn't die. Her birth was a curse. Yuuki regretted being born. this is why they left me... These thoughts haunted Yuuki, day and night. She never knew about her fathers mistress in another country, but the letters he received hinted at it.

The noise grew louder, distracting Yuuki from her thoughts. Whatever it was, was walking down the street. Closer and closer. She was curious. No one walks around at night. It was odd to hear noises in the night that weren't created by the wind. She ran to the front door and peeked out. There he was. A man dressed in red, his hair long and silver, her eyes narrowed. Yuuki did not recognize him. She was curious. Yuuki's curiosity gets her in bad situations. She breathed in and walked outside.

"Uhm.. Excuse me!"

[Inu Yasha]

As Inuyasha strolled upon the small muddy street of the town , a sudden disrupting sound would cause the befall of all nature and peace as the youth falls down on one feet while holding his balance shortly afterward with his left arm. Well he was stopped huh?... That didn't take long! '''Waaaahh!''

Imeediately getting up while patting the dust of his clothes, Inu Yasha would tilt his head toward his left to see where did the voice came from as he remarks a elegant girl. Beautiful though still in her young ages Inu'd had to say that she does kind of remind him of Kikyo... His long dreamed beloved one... When will he be able to find her again?.. ''KiK..Kikyo?..''

It was dark , surely even though that Inu Yasha had nocturnal vision within the night upon a first blind look of confusion he'd confound her lookins with the one that he had in mind. Though after a few seconds of staring he'd notice that she'd be a complete different person. '' Ah...Sorry..''

Walking toward the human while possessing no harming intentions , his azure golden eyes would stroll upon the traits of the girl to capture a good image. '' So...What is a girl like you doing outside like this?.. Shouldn't you be in your house sleeping?.. In any case have you seeing anything mysterious around?.. Like some sort of purple shinning jewel shards or dangerous demons?''

[Sango / Yuuki Mizuo]

Yuuki's eyes watched the man. She was not afraid. Though she thought she should be. Her eyes narrowed to get a better look at his face. He was young. Yuuki knew he was a demon. Yuuki was not afraid of demons. The other villagers called her on it. She was stupid. You shouldn't trusts such beasts, that's what they told her. Yuuki did not fear much. This man, a demon. Her mind scattered at that thought. Her lips curled into a smile and she walked closer to him. "What is a girl like me doing out here? You ask? Shouldn't I be asleep? If it wasn't for you, I'd be asleep. What are you thinking, walking through a village making such loud noises. Who do you think you are?" Yuuki paused for a second. "I'm sorry, I did not mean that." She bowed at him. Yuuki sometimes forgot that some of her sences were stonger than others, that's why she awoke. She felt guilty for snaping at him. He did nothing wrong. He was simply there. Yuuki was not like the others, no one talked to someone they did not know. But Yuuki, she talked to eveyone. She hoped she did not offend him. Her eyes shifted to the left, in search for the owl. The wind blew once more, causeing the trees to dance, she closed her eyes and opend them again. Her black hair danced with the wind. She reached back and pulled her hair to one side over her left shoulder.

Yuuki's eyes fell to the floor, the movement of a bug cought her attention. She smiled and picked up the red abd black spotted bug. Ladybugs. Yuuki liked ladybugs. She often find her self dreaming of one and her adventures she would take if she was one. Sometimes Yuuki could not remember if she was a ladybug dreaming of being human, or if she was simply just a human, being a ladybug. She looked at the man and held out her hand. "Look. A ladybug. Such peaceful creatures. Don't you think?" She smiled once more, her sight layed back onto the bug.

"Have I seen anything mysterious? No, and I have not seen anything of a purple jewl. Except of some drawings my father has made. He explains it as being purple and of great importance. But I have yet to know anything else." Yuuki took ahold of the silver butterfly locket that lay around her neck. "In some of his drawing, he shows that it is inside my mothers locket. But I can't open it. And as of demons, I have seen many. Just not around here. Well, until you." She smiled again. "What's your name?" She looked at him as the ladybug flew out of her palm.

[Inu Yasha]

Insolent! This girl was actually speaking with him at this tone at night!? Never the youth would've thought that a girl would be able to talk like this except for Kagome of course... Looking away just to analyze the surroundings his attention would only be recapped suddenly upon the words of the girl as all the others were more or less ignored.

''What!? Your fathers drawing!? Show it to me! Right now !''

Inuyasha's concentration would lead to his rude imprudence as his two strong hands immediately reach out for the body of the girls and holds her tightly by the shoulder. If not too strong that would almost be a strangle.

''Please let me see it!... I'll open it for you!''

The boy was impatience and ignorant screaming at such a high tone in the night though the finding the jewel shards were absolutely crucial to his task and adventure. Even just one... It'd take just one shard to fall into the wrong hands to cause harm upon ignorant peoples. Such objects shouldn't be in the hand of evils even though that Inuyasha desired the power of it in the past. Narrowing for a few minutes inside of his head , the boy'd finally come to his half human senses again as he lets go off the girl's shoulders while grinning with a despaired sigh.

''I..I'm sorry there... Hope that it didn't hurt you... And the name's Inu Yasha... You never heard of me D:<!? How could you not know me!? *points at the anime title* D:<! And my numerous heroic exploits!? How could you T_T not know my name!? ''

[Sango / Yuuki Mizuo]

Yuuki's eyes narrowed. "How dare you touch a priestess like that! Don't you know any better? Even to touch a girl like that, rude!" Her eyes left his as she turned around walking inside. "I'll show you. But I tell you, rudeness is not accepted in my house." She knew not to let strangers in her house but she did not care. Him here is better then being alone, even if he is rude. Yuuki let out a soft sigh. "You did not hurt me, I am fine. though your claws..." Yuuki moved the collar of her robe, showing the skin of her shoulder. Yuuki's skin was white, the shadow hid the trail of blood the mans claws left. She touched the blood with her finger and looked at it. My own blood? Yuuki has never seen her own blood, then again no one ever dared to get close to her, priestess or not, many villagers did not like her. "Why are you looking for this Jewel? What's it's importance?" She was curious again. This man seemed impatient, this man was impatient. Yuuki did not get much contact with others, she loved people, yet many people did not like her, she never knew why. This mad her sad. The thoughts of all the people, all she wanted to do was help.

She shook her head and smiled. Yuuki keeps getting distracted by her thoughts. "Inu Yasha, interesting..." She pondered on if she should tell him her name or not. She shrugged to herself and held out her hand for a hand shake. "My name is Yuuki Mizuo. But you can just call me Yuuki." She smiled at him. Her grey eyes darkened in the shadows, but her white skin seemed to glow.

[Inu Yasha]

Inu Yasha'd be held back by his sudden imprudence as he sees the small traces of blood that he has caused... The feeling of regrets is running through his mind however it would be too late... What is done has already been done... The boy'd look back toward the girl just for a few peak though still trying to avoid eye contact. She reminded him so much of Kikyo...

''Wel..Well are you really ok..?.. I.. I'm really sorry..And whats your name?''

Apologizing once again though just to be interrupted by a sudden question of her. Why was the jewel that he has talk about so important huh?... How nostalgic this feeling would be... Covering through the boy's entire body slowly , his mind would gap through series of image like a play as the saddening memories of Kikyo and the fights of Naraku would be played. Spacing out for a moment all that could be found within the boy's eyes would be emptiness and sadness. Few tears were began to form from the corners of Inu Yasha's eye line though not enough to fall as the boy was holding them back trying to not show off any signs of weaknesses. In a cold comma of expression the boy would sigh once again in a despaired grin as he replies to the girl in a menacing way.

''What does that matter to you?.. Its none of your concern... I really need the jewel to... In any case its important so please show me...''


Not finishing his phrase the mere emotion of remorse would be running through the corners of his mind as it shows all upon his face. When peace will finally be settled? When Naraku will finally be defeated? When innocent ones will finally get justice?

[Sango / Yuuki Mizuo]

Yuuki grabbed a piece of stray cloth and whipped the blood from her shoulder. "Yes. I'm fine, it's just blood isn't it? My name is Yuuki. I just told you." She sighed. Yuuki walked back to her fathers room and gathered the drawings. Each scattered out through a scroll. The details her father put into these was impressive, the history of it was written out beside each work or art. She hesitated to hand him the scroll, but she did anyways. "My father travels a lot, he knows much about this jewel. He never told me about it though, he was never here..." Her eyes shifted downwards. She wondered if he had a family. And if he did, what they were like. She held herself from asking, she did not wish to intrud or be rude.

She looked back up at him. His eye were filled with sadness, she wondered what she did to hurt him. She took her hand and placed it on his cheek, almost as if she was waiting to catch his tears before they could fall. Yuuki did not like to see others cry, even if they were rude to her. It was unbearable. "Would you like to sit down? I can make soup?" Yuuki smiled. She liked making food for people, she liked helping them. She left her hand on his cheek.

Yuuki was curious about what was going through his mind. She was curious about his past. Yuuki did not talk to many people simply because they did not talk to her, she was glad he talked to her. "If there is anything you need, or would like just tell me? Alright?" Yuuki smiled once more at him.

[Inu Yasha]

Inuyasha'd take the scroll with hesitation though he wouldn't peek in it just yet. The actions that he had commited has thrown him toward a remorce though that wasn't exactly really the problem... Even though that Inu Yasha had scratched her , she would still remain calm like this... It reminded him too much of Kikyo and her tenderness. The boy'd look as while holding the scrolls in hand though he would be interupted by a sudden touch of her , making his eyes to come in contact with hers. This was bad... She looked more and more like Kikyo... All that is going through the youth's mind right now is her... This lively soft touch and loving compassion...

''Ki..Kikyo?... Is that you?!...''

Inu Yasha'd blush even though that he knows that she isn't Kikyo in some way though his mere thoughts would've had taken over as his left hand rises up just to hold her hand that is touching his cheek. It was soft and warm though after a few seconds Inu Yasha'd finally come to his senses as he blushes even more while letting go of her hand.

''I..I'm sorry! Really sorry!''

The youth'd hope that she would forgive him in someway.. After all , Inu Yasha was just being rude in all. He'd try his best to not look into her eyes again though through another stare who knows what would happen..? The boy'd remain silent just to be asked by another proposal from the girl afterward. Soup? Inu Yasha liked food though how embarrassing it would be to accept it like this?

''I...I...''

Mid-way while trying to finish his phrase a terrible growl of a of a lion would come out from Inu Yasha's stomach as he looks over the girl and smiles in a rather awkward way.

''Ha-..Haha... I think I'll take the soup thanks!''

[Sango / Yuuki Mizuo]

Yuuki smiled at the boy as she wales towards to back to get a pot and make a fire. "Come, this way." Yuuki waved her hand motioning for him to follow. Yuuki looked at the boy with confused eyes. "Who is kikyo, if I may ask?" She wondered if she would regret this question, but it was to late now. The words have left her mouth nothin to do now but await his reply. "You keep saying her name, as if you're mistaken by me for her, or something." Yuuki's eyes glanced at him. He doesn't look at me.. Why won't he look at me? Yuuki's eyes glanced downwards, almost feeling and looking sad. She knew people didn't like her, but to not like her to the fact that they can't even look at her. She did not understand. She watched his hesitation as he grabbed the scroll.

As Yuuki removed her hand from his face, she stared at him. he blushed... But why? Has he not encountered compassion? Yuuki did not understand the boys actions, he was rude one moment then nice the next. Most people would not care to know the reasons behind ones actions, but Yuuki did. She longed to know more, more than she probably should. Yuuki does not encounter many people, so she does not quite understand them.

Yuuki started the fire after her thoughts left, she kept getting distracted, and she did not really like it. Yuuki smiled after the pot was heated and she poured water in the pot. "Would you like me to add anything special? I usually make it with just berries and fruit."
