Laugh to hide our shame

[Tney]

Street once fulled with many demons and few humans. Empty. Stores. Destory. No one left but a few souls, strays, and the same of the royal family. Ryukio the eldest daughter, Myomaru the strongest son and Tney.

Ryukio walked through the streets, carring offerings she headed to the newer Moon Temple. Reaching the steps, she stopped and looked over her shoulder and sighed abit, walking to the locked doors. She sit down and laid out the items. A jar of blood, rice balls, flowers from a cherry tree and a small candle. She bowed her head and closed her eyes and prayed abit.

[Inu Sasha]

The human was here. He was near the temple, interested in why he was so attracted to it. He looked at the sky, his violet eyes changing to a lighter purple, and then laid down the offering that he had: a mere vial of his blood and a black flower tied to it. He felt it was symbolic and somehow fit the person that was inside, though he did not know them. Then he noticed he small child and smiled, looking up from his knelled position at the steps, "Why are you alone, little one?"

[Tney]

Ryukio jumped to her feet and backed away slowly. Most who can to the village were looking for gold and tried to rob the castle. Myomaru had told her to get her when ever she saw someone walking the streets. She stared at him and tilted her head abit and taking a step forword, narrowing her eyes abit. She put her hands on the top of her head, making them look like ears.

[Inu Sasha]

The human tilted his head at the girl's strange actions and he smiled weakly, realizing. "Did I know you back then little one?" He wondered why the girl would not talk. Maybe she couldn't? He had seen some people unable to talk, but some didn't wish to. Maybe that was her case. He looked around and then back at the the temple, feeling attracted to it extremely now. He shivered and then looked at her again, "Do you live here little one?"

[Tney]

Ryukio looked pass him at the castle on the far side of the dead village then back at him. She took to a running start and jumped over him. Landing about ten feet away from him she looked over her shoulder at him and started off heading for the castle. Her eyes flashed blue and she smiled the one small patch of redish brown hair on her falling in her face.

[Inu Sasha]

Inu Sasha's eyes widened and the sudden movement and he grabbed his bow which was at his side. The small human then ran after her, questions running in his mind. Why is she running? Why did he feel like he knew her some somewhere. He, knowing a child? No. That was wrong.

The human soon caught up to her, grinning weakly as he spoke out of breath, "Why the sudden running little one?" He noticed the blue eyes and he tilted his head. However, he said nothing. It was not his place. After all, she was a demon, as he just now realized.

[Tney]

She vanished in mid step and her older brother appear in front of the human Inu Sasha. Unlike her, he carried a weapon. The Mirror Blade. The family's most prized belonging he had received from their mother not to long ago as she sat in what she said would be her death bed. That being the last words to Myomaru's father, Sesshomaru, as well. The Blade pulsed as he placed his hand on it and grined at the human, "Well... what do you have here? The half demon was sank even lower and now is a human..... Why did you leave Mother to die?" he growled, his eyes flashing red. Ryukio reappeared, hugging on to her big brother.

[Inu Sasha]

The human's eyes widened as Myomaru appeared and he stared at the sword before his eyes narrowed and he placed an arrow on his bow, aiming it at the boy in front of him, "I have no clue who you are and why you are back talking me, child, but I will not take any shit from some demon swine like you." His violet eyes flashed slightly red and he almost seemed demonic for a moment, but his arrow pulsed with purified energy, "Who. Are.You?"

[Tney]

Ryukio's eyes glowed blue and a barrier appeared around them. Myomaru growled, "Swine? You whore, I'm more demon then you will ever be. Lower that bow before you poke your eye out, you good for nothing human." His lips pulled back into a wicked grin and his red eyes narrowed.

Light pink flower petals started to rain down from the sky and the air was fulled with the sound of a sweet sad voice singing, "But counting down the days to go.
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know,

That if you say, (If you say)
Good-bye today, (Good-bye today)
I'd ask you to be true (I'd ask you to be true)
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you..."

[Inu Sasha]

Inu Sasha's eyes widened at the whore comment and he felt his bow slip from his grasp and land on the ground. Inu Sasha bit his lip and he looked away, his hand going to his chest. That hurt. That really hurt. He glared at Myomaru and reached into his red and white rubes for a sutra and pulled one out. He closed his eyes and he saw the spirit world and the energies in it. One flowed itself into the paper and he smirked, opening his eyes. The sutra glowed a dangerous red and black. "You really shouldn't piss me off, child." This singing seemed similar to him. Was it....someone he once knew? Was it....someone he once cared for? This voice....it was drawing him towards it.

[Tney]

"Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you..."

Ryukio looked up at the sky and the barriar disappeared. She tugged on Myomaru's shirt and looked up at her brother and shook her head no then pointed at Inu Sasha then at the castle. Myomaru looked at the petals and relaxed abit, "Mother hasn't sang in a long time, or even talked. I almost forgot how sweet her voice is." He looked at the castle and closed his eyes.

[Inu Sasha]

The human looked at the two and he sighed, putting away the sutra. "Somehow...I remember that voice....tell me....can you take me to the castle? I feel a connection there." He shrugged, "You two don't have to. I just....want to go find some memories." He looked at Myomaru and smiled, "You look like someone I probably knew...." He shook his head and he walked on again, "Coming?"

[Tney]

Myomaru sighed and walked up to the human and picked him up puting him over his shoulder, "You will get lost in the maze of streets." He said this as he jumped up onto a roof and waited for Ryukio. Once she joined then on the roof he started jumping roof to roof heading to the large ghost like castle, stopping every few roofs, waiting for his young sister.

[Inu Sasha]

The human felt tiny now as he was slung over a shoulder and carried. He sighed and looked at Ryu, who was behind them smiling. He couldn't help but feel weak as he was carried. He was putting his hands into a demon's hands. Dangerous. But, why did he do it? He shook his head and closed his eyes tiredly, "You know I'm not weak. I can follow you myself."

[Tney]

They soon landed in front of the castle gates. Myomaru put him on the ground and looked over his shoulder back towards the North. "Ryukio." She landed next to Inu Sasha and smiled, "Take him inside and you know what to do. We have another quest and I don't think Mother would be pleased to see." Myomaru turned and started to walk off. Ryukio smiled at Inu Sasha and hugged him.
