Four Seasons (The beginning of a love story)

[zake]

OOC: when did i say his face changed? i could report you for godmodding, ya know lol.

IC: Inu no Taishou knew that her words were sincere. He could both hear it in her voice and see it in her eyes.

"Well, youkai are very different from humans in many ways." He said. "But some humans can be more bloodthirsty and evil than any youkai can."* Inu no Taishou brought to his attention that humans were approaching now. But, his thoughts were being clouded by Sou'unga's screams for the taste of human flesh. Later, he would have a talk with Saya about his job being supressing Sou'unga, not taking a nap.

"I wish i could stay longer, but i'm not sure how other humans would react to seeing us talking together." He said just as the guards arrived. Although, due to his speed, they had probably only saw him for a split second, too short for the human brain to recognize what it had seen.

Inu no Taishou hadn't run far, though. He had only gone a short distance and hidden behind a few trees. He had been his in the leg with an arrow by one of the guards and was resisting the urge to go back and tear him a new one. He removed the arrow and held his hand over the wound to stop the bleeding. It wasn't anything serious at all, but he couldn't arrive back in his lands with blood all down his leg, then explain that a human had done it.


*--cue random Naraku reference. lol.

[Lady Izayoi]

ooc: lol, sorry. From the way you described it, it sounded like his expression would have changed as well


"Sadly that i know only to well"

Izayoi replied with a voice that clearly revealed sadness at something she had once witnessed.


**Flashback**

Izayoi stood not far from the courtyard, next to a large patch of grass and a small garden. With a smile upon her face she watched two of the servants children at play, tossingback and forth a ball they greatly cherished for it was the only toy they had.
A part of her longed to join them and as she was just about to step forward the sound of hoofbeats drew her attention.
The smile quickly faded from the young maidens face as she recognized the visitor and intentionaly she turned her back, pretending not to have noticed. If there was anyone she dislike it was this lord. A man of such great arrogance he acted as he was on the same level as the gods themselfs. Looking down upon anyone not of the same status as him.
She also disliked the way he often watched her and had her suspicions he had made hints to her father that he wished for her hand in marriage. A shudder moved trough the young girls body at the mere thought.

The childrens laughter drew her attention once again and she watched as one of the children drew the ball farther than before. It fell to the ground and rolled across the courtyard, coming to a stop with a slight thud against the foot of the lord who by now had dismounted.
The small child of a servantwoman saw the ball and with gleeful laughter ran towards it and picked it up. Before looking up at the lord with a innocent and trusting smile. After all, what did a small 2 year old child knew of status.
The disgust and contempt which crossed the lords face alarmed Izayoi and immidiatly she hurried towards them.
But not in time, as the lord threw back his hand and hit the small child so hard across the face that it went flying a short distance and then screamed loudly in pain, blood covering his small face.
The lord however only laughed at the childs pain,

"That will teach you filthy scum"

Were his words before he turned and walked away, while Izayoi knelt beside the crying child.
This was the first time in her life, that the young hime felt the emotion of hatred towards another being and it was the only person she disliked this greatly. Though her heart was gently, such contempt from a human being towards another, especialy a child was one thing she could not forget....or forgive

**end of flashback**


Izayoi slightly shook her head. This was not the time to wander around in her memories, as she once again turned her attentions towards the demonlord who stood before her. She nodded at his words, for as much as she disliked it, she had to agree with him.
It would not be taken well if she was seen speaking to him.
One thing however seemed to make her heart beat a little faster. The fact that he had said he wished he could stay longer.

"As do i"

Was Izayoi's soft reply.

"Perhaps we....."

But before she was even able to finish the words the tall demon was already gone, in the blink of an eye.
Sighing softly she turned towards the guards and placed a smile upon her face.

"I found him"

Izayoi called out and motioned towards the kitten in her arms, hoping they would believe that all she had done was search for the little runaway.
