The Demon Child Amaya

Chapter 4

Amaya watches as the string that holds the beads burn and the beads scatter around the fire pit. ‘I know I am not suppose to interfere but I will not watch that child hurt my Papa; he may be broken hearted now because of Kagome’s rejection but soon his heart will heal and love will fill it. Now I just need to stick with them until they run into Lord Sesshomaru so I can get his sword kill the witch Yura in this time and then go back to my time and kill Kenchi, the evil monster. Yura wasn’t always evil, she used to use her powers for heal people, but she fell in love with a human who was a soldier, he was captured during a war and tortured until he died. She grew hatred because the general wouldn’t do anything to save him, after that she locked herself away plotting revenge, once she got revenge her thirst for darkness grew. She decided to make everyone pay that’s when the thought of Kenchi came to her and she made him. I don’t hate Kenchi, he didn’t do anything wrong except be born filled with hatred, I feel sorry for him. He is evil and has done terrible things but he knows nothing else, it doesn’t justify what he has done but Kenchi needs to be freed from this life he didn’t choose.’ Amaya was brought from her thoughts when she is suddenly picked up and hugged by Inuyasha.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” Inuyasha chants as he spins Amaya around hugging her. “You don’t know what this means to me.”

“Your welcome Inuyasha, now that you are free your soul is no longer bound and you can now access your full power. Now what I am about to tell you is very important, please put me down and have a seat.” Inuyasha placed Aya on the ground and sat down, Aya soon joining him. “As you know your demon side cannot be controlled, when your life is in danger your demon comes out to protect you but you don’t know who is friend and who is foe. Your human blood is to blame, but it is also from lack of proper training, I can teach you to properly control your demon blood so that if you transform you will not be the blood thirsty creature you turn into.”

“But I thought no matter what I couldn’t control it,” Inuyasha says.

“Not fully, no, but the beads are what made your demon side act so wild. Your demon side didn’t like being on a leash and so when it appeared all its rage come with it, once I start training you, you will be about to control it enough that you will not be a danger to innocent lives. You will still need to keep Tetseiga close, and this by no means gives you permission to transform on purpose to kill and enemy do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Your demon blood is powerful, but it is not your true strength, if you want to discover your true strength you cannot rely on your demon form to fight your battles.”

“Just like when I wanted to make Tetseiga lighter,” Inuyasha says.

“Exactly,” Amaya and Inuyasha sit in silence for a few moments until Inuyasha spoke.

“Amaya may I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“Do I ever find someone who loves me for who I am? As a half-demon.”

“Inuyasha, normally I wouldn’t say anything, but because it won’t endanger any one, I can tell you. Yes you find someone who loves you for who you are, your love however is a difficult path but you just need to trust your heart and what you demon tells you and you will find your happiness,” Amaya smiles. “Be patient and I promise you that you will find a love greater then anything you have ever imagined.”

“Okay,” Inuyasha smiles.

“Now why don’t we stay here for the night and then move out tomorrow,” Amaya suggests.

“Sounds good.”

“In the mean time would you like to start your training?”

“Hell yes!”

~*****~

Kagome paces Kaede’s hut, “who does the child bitch think she is!” Kagome rants. “She humiliated me and made me take off the beads, and now she is going to travel with us!”

“I’m sorry Kagome that it happened, but I agree with Aya, she was right about everything, I am your friend but you have been abusing the power,” Sango says.

“Sango is right, yes Inuyasha can act arrogant and says things that we sometimes don’t agree with he has the right to express himself,”? Miroku says.

“You’re right Miroku, however I never heard about how any of you tried to stop her,” Aya says walking in. “Which brings me to another thing I wish to discuss with you all, but that can wait until later, I simply wished to inform you all that Inuyasha and I are doing some training, please do not interfere, nor Inuyasha or I will be held responsible if you get hurt because you interfered,” With that said Amaya walks out of the hut.

“She’s right, I believe that we all should apologies to Inuyasha for not helping him instead of saying he deserved it. Inuyasha is a half-demon, he is not fully human, he has demon instincts and we should have been more understanding of that,” Sango says.

“Also for not understanding that because he is a half-demon he spent his whole life not trusting anyone, we should be honored that he trusts us so. He protects us in battle and while we sleep, he hunts for us when we don’t have Kagome’s food, and even though he acts like he doesn’t care about what we think or what we feel he does and he always helps us if we have a problem,” Miroku says.

“I suppose I need to apologies too,” Shippo speaks up.

“Why Shippo? What did you do to Inuyasha?” Sango asks.

“When he tries to train me, I never listen and instead of acting like a demon, once something happens I don’t like I run to Kagome and then he gets sat for it. I should be stronger like Inuyasha is trying to make me; he tells me that at my age he knew how to hunt, track and survive and yet I don’t know anything but a few tricks. I think of him like a father and I disrespect him all the time instead of listening to him and learning to be a true demon,” Shippo says looking like he is about to cry. “What if he doesn’t want to train me anymore? What if he hates me?” Shippo says.

“Shippo Inuyasha could never hate you,” Sango says.

“But- I have been a terrible son, I need to know!” Shippo runs out of the hut.

Kagome listens to the conversation not liking it one bit, “why are you all so worried about Inuyasha and apologizing. He is the one that needed to be sat he needs to learn to be more considerate of other peoples feelings and learn to have manners he needs to be-”

“More human?” Miroku cuts in. “Why? So he can be the type of MAN you want him to be? You are so immature Kagome; Inuyasha is half-DEMON he doesn’t need to change. You ever think that he was rude because he didn’t want to be around a bitch like you? Maybe that he was angry because he was stuck on a leash? Lady Aya was right, you are just a child and too young to understand how the world works,” Miroku says and then gets up and walks out of the hut.

“I agree with Miroku, it is not Inuyasha that needs to grow up it’s you,” with that said Sango and Kirlala walk out of the hut. Sango walks outside but stops when she sees Miroku and Shippo standing there. “What’s going on guys?” Miroku point to the field; Sango looks up to see Inuyasha in his demon form.

“Relax children,” Kaede says walking up to them. “Aya is training Inuyasha to control his demon form; she informed the village so they wouldn’t panic if they say Inuyasha like this. Do not go near them they only started so she doesn’t know what will happen if anyone but her goes near him.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that Inuyasha could control his demon side,” Miroku says.

“Aya explained that it was due to the beads that he couldn’t control his demon side, so she is now teaching him how,” Kaede explained.

“Oh well then how about we watch them?” Sango says. “It will beat going back inside the hut,” She laughs.

“Agreed,” everyone says.

“Why do ye not want to go back inside?” Kaede asks.

“We all agreed to apologize to Inuyasha for treating him badly and Kagome believes that we have nothing to apologize for so we fought with her and now we just don’t want to be near her at the moment,” Sango explains.

“I see, well then I shall join the,” Kaede says and they all sit down to watch Inuyasha train.

Meanwhile inside the hut Kagome is fuming, “how dare they say that I am immature, they should be thankful to me because I can sense the jewel shards, I could vary well leave and never come back and they would be shit out of luck,” Kagome rages. “It’s all that bitches fault, Aya. If she hadn’t shown up then none of this would have happened, I’ll get her back for this I swear it!”

~*****~ Outside~*****~

Amaya watches Inuyasha transform, ‘I just need to remember what I was taught and I will be able to help Inuyasha, I freed him from being a slave to that human, now I will free him from being a slave to his demon.’ Inuyasha’s eyes are blood red and the two purple demon marks appear on his cheeks, his claws grow and so does his fangs. His demon is growling and he looks like he is fighting it. “Inuyasha, stop fighting it, just relax and let it happen,” Amaya says softly

“But…”

“Do not worry about hurting anyone, I can restrain you if need be,” Amaya reassures him. Inuyasha tried his best to relax he allows his demon to take over, once it does Amaya watches as the demon Inuyasha stares down at her and growls. “Do not growl at me, I am not an enemy,” Amaya says. “You are free from the leash and now I am training Inuyasha to control you.” The demon Inuyasha snarls at her. “By you being like this you are killing both of you, do you want to die?” Amaya says sternly; the demon Inuyasha growls. “I didn’t think so, it will take a while but you much let Inuyasha have control, he is your master not the other ways around now release his mind and let him have control!” Inuyasha’s demon growls in defiance and attacks Amaya. “You challenge me when I am trying to help you, you have some nerve.” Amaya dodges his attacks but just barely, Inuyasha attacks again and manages to scratch Amaya’s cheek. “Okay this is enough,” Amaya raises her hands and they begin to glow green, vines shoot up out of the ground and bind Inuyasha so he can’t move. The demon Inuyasha struggles but he is unable to get free; Amaya brings Inuyasha to the ground and walks up to him. “Look what you did to my face, that wasn’t very nice. Now I think it is time Inuyasha comes back out,” Amaya walks over and picks up Tetseiga and pushes it into Inuyasha’s hand, immediately Inuyasha returned to his half-demon form.

“What happened? Aya, did I do that?” Inuyasha says referring to her cheek.

Amaya releases Inuyasha and smiles, “Yes but don’t worry about it, it will heal quickly enough.”

Inuyasha pulls Aya into his lap and begins to lick her cheek until it stops bleeding, “there, I know you can heal quickly but I feel bad.”

“Thank you Inuyasha, but you don’t have to; I knew the danger when I offered to help you.” Aya then laughs, “your demon side is quiet stubborn, just like you, but don’t worry more training of your mind and he will submit to you. I am like you, I am still trying to control my demon, I had just started my training when that evil monster attacked, but because I am three quarters demon it is a bit easier for me.” Amaya gets up, “why don’t we go sit with the other’s they look like they want to talk to you, also it is getting late dinner should be starting soon.” Inuyasha get’s up and nods; together they walk over to where the group is waiting.
