Kotori slowly put her hand on her chest feeling for the necklace that was given to her by her mother. She panics and quickly sat up the moment she realized that her form had been altered as she looked at her hands. Her nails were longer, and her skin turned slightly pale. Her long beautiful white hair fell over her shoulders.
Although the memories came rushing to her at once of what happened the other day. She was completely in denial and the longer she stayed in disbelief her headache grew terrible.
' Where are the others?" she asked herself and scanned the room to find herself alone.
She searches the temple in the hope to find her companions, a smile develops on her face when she caught a familiar scent without noticing. Her hand hesitated to open the door when her name was mentioned. She bit her bottom listen nervously and could not help but to listen.
The flea demon appeared at the residence and was flattened by the human girl in an attempt to suck her blood.
" What are you doing here?" Kagome questioned.
" I am here to look after Master InuYasha and Princess Kotori," Myoga answered, sitting down on the floor with his legs crossed.
" How are we supposed to find this princess you speak of?" Miroku asked.
InuYasha's ears twitched.
" W-wait! – You don't mean Ko?" Sango gasps.
The flea demon closed his eyes for a few seconds then took a deep breath." Kotori is a half-demon, an heir to claimed the throne even. She is the daughter of Queen Nozomi.—Yes, the same Nozomi you are thinking and her rumors proceed her. The most ruthless and sadistic daiyokai of the southern lands. Her father was------
Suddenly, the loudly opened and everyone was startled by the sound as they directed their attention to the half-demon in the doorway.
Kotori's emotions were all over the place and it made her furious that some demon was talking about her family as if he knew her. Her blood was boiling," YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME—SHUT UP!"
The demonic aura was so strong that it filled the room
It has probably been a little over a decade since she has been in this half-demon form of hers. She could not control her powers that had been suppressed for the majority of her life. The fact that she must accept this part of her was a terrifying thought in itself. She didn't like knowing that demon blood also pumps through her veins. It was this urge that could never be satisfied. It was a empty pit and human food could not satisfy anymore.
" K-Ko...." The fox demon shivered in fear.
Her eyes widen at everyone's expression toward her. She was viewed differently, a world where half-demons are not accepted no matter what. She recalled a memory from her past that left her speechless, a little girl smiling at the sight of her parents. A human father and a demon mother.
' Mommy, Daddy. I love you more than anything in the whole wide world." Her voice was sweet and filled with warmth. The little girl had the brightest smile as she splash the water in the river. Her father was a kind man and her mother, was a lovely woman.
" Even my memories are betraying me." Kotori slightly laughed and turned her back towards the others. It was nice thinking that there was a chance of having friends even if it was just for a second.
InuYasha walked past everyone and was a few steps away from her." Are you done?"
To her, those words were translated to' You can stop pretending to be something that you're not.'
