The Demon Child Amaya

Chapter 7

It has been three days since they started out from Kaede’s village; Aya has been training with Inuyasha when he wasn’t training Shippo. It is a beautiful afternoon and they just stopped for lunch, Inuyasha is training Shippo, Miroku is meditating and the two girls are cooking lunch, Aya is sitting in a tree looking over everyone. ‘This is taking too long,’ Aya says to herself. ‘We have only managed to locate jewel shards but nothing on Sesshomaru,’ Aya growls. ‘May I should have just searched for him by myself, I would have probably found him by now!’ Aya jumps down and heads towards the lake. ‘Kagome has been pissing me off lately, always doing things for everyone but ‘forgetting’ about me, and just looking at her pisses me off, I want to hit her so badly! I need to kill something or someone preferably. Maybe training will help me vent some of my anger.’ Amaya reaches the lake and begins to glow a rainbow color before water shoots up and swirls around in the air.

Inuyasha and the others stop what they are doing when they sense Aya’s power; they all watch as she makes the water swirl around making different shapes.

Aya stops and creates a fire ball and throws it across the lake one right after another until she was out of breath and energy. ‘Well that did it,’ Amaya thinks to herself.

“Wow that was amazing, Aya,” Sango says.

“Huh?” Amaya turns around to see that everyone was watching her, “oh thanks, I am still learning, I know how to control the elements but when I’m using them in a battle I am a bit slow at gathering the energy that is required to use them, so I practice as much as I can,” Amaya explains.

“Well you are really good,” Sango smiles.

“Thanks, I guess,” Amaya blushes.

“Yes, lady Aya you have great talent and I am impressed that someone so young can control the elements this much,” Miroku says.

“Yeah well whatever,” Aya says as she walks back to her tree.

‘Stupid bitch is just showing off,’ Kagome growls. Suddenly she senses two jewel shards heading their way. “Guys there are jewel shards heading this way,” Kagome says.

“Kouga?” Sango asks.

“No, it’s not fast enough to be Kouga,” Kagome says. Just then a giant ogre demon appears trashing their camp with his giant foot, “Inuyasha! It has two jewel shards in his chest!” Kagome yells.

Amaya runs and stands next to Inuyasha, “leave this to me; I need to work off my frustration anyways.” Before Inuyasha could say anything Aya jumps at the demon her sword in hand.

A demon walks through the forest, though to anyone who looks it would look like he was gliding. His long silver hair floats behind him his golden eyes holds no emotion as they look ahead not bothering to look at the weak demons that stare as he passes by. “Lord Sesshomaru, you’re back!” A green imp yells.

Sesshomaru just walks by the small imp and straight to where the little human child is picking flowers in the clearing just ahead. He nods to his pet dragon Ah-Un and stops when he reaches the little girl. “Lord Sesshomaru you are back,” Rin smiles. Sesshomaru nods, and then his head shots to his right as a strong power catches his attention. “My lord?” Rin questions, “Is something wrong?”

“No Rin,” Sesshomaru answers when the power disappears a few moments later. Sesshomaru turns around and starts to head back the way he came when he senses the power from before. Not being able to resist finding out who the power belongs too he takes off in the direction in which is it coming from.

Jaken runs into the clearing just as Sesshomaru takes off; Rin jumps onto Ah-Un following after her lord. “Wait for me!” Jaken yells as she runs after them.

As Sesshomaru get’s closer to the source of the power he smells blood, mixed in with the smell of ogre, for some reason the smell of this persons blood made him angry he couldn’t figure out why. Sesshomaru arrives at a battle where an ogre demon is throwing something to the grown; looking closer Sesshomaru sees that it is a girl with long silver hair and two dog ears on top of her head she is covered in blood. Sesshomaru watches as the girl tries to get up but groans in pain; the ogre demon raises his foot and starts to bring it down. The girl gasps as she realizes what is about to happen and suddenly something snaps inside Sesshomaru and he races forward just as the foot comes down.

~*****~ A few minute before~*****~

Amaya races forward and slashes at the demon the demon growls as his shoulder it cut; Amaya lands on the other side of the demon and once again jumps at him, but the demon notices this and turns around and uses his big hand to slam Amaya into the ground. Amaya shouts in pain, ‘Why that stupid fucker!’ Amaya stands up and uses her earth power to lift a boulder and throw it at the demon, the demon just punches the boulder and Amaya uses the rocks to jump at him, once she gets high enough she releases a fire ball at the demon but the demon avoids the attack. The demon swats at Amaya and his claws catch her back and left arm; screaming in pain and just barely manages to land on her feet. ‘Shit, the training I did earlier really did tire me out, I should be able to take him no problem. Amaya watches as the demons right hand reaches for her, she jumps to avoid his hand but is caught by its left. The demon the swings her around and throws her to the ground; groaning in pain Amaya feels one of her ribs break as she lands on a rock on the ground, ‘Bastard.’ She then gasps as the demon raises his foot and starts to bring it down.

“Aya!” Inuyasha is about to run to help her when Kagome hold him back.

“No Inuyasha, she says so herself that she is stronger then you, let her take care of this demon alone,” Kagome says.

“Yes, but she needs help. It doesn’t look like she will win,” Inuyasha says.

“Her energy must be too low from her training before,” Miroku says.

“Miroku is right Kagome, let Inuyasha go,” Sango says.

“No a good butt whooping will teach her a lesson,” Kagome says crossing her arms.

“No I am not going to sit here and watch Aya get hurt just because you think she needs to be taught a lesson!” Inuyasha yells and turns to help Aya when he sees that Aya is about to be squished by the demons big foot. Inuyasha bolts trying to get to her, but the foot comes down before he can get there, “AYA!” Dust surround the demons foot as it plants deep into the ground.

Once the dust settles everyone stares’ thinking the worst has happened when suddenly they see Sesshomaru standing there with his back to them. Slowly Sesshomaru turns to face the other with Aya in his arms.

Amaya looks up at her savior and gasps, “Lord… Lord Sesshomaru!” Amaya smiles, ‘That’s my father, always saving me when I get in over my head.’ She then passes out from exhaustion.
