An Inuyasha FanFic

Love and Its Qualities

A/N: I wonder how people come up with these chapter names? I mean I take like at least fifteen minutes to come up with one. XD

???'s POV
I glanced down at the small crying cat demon. She looked familiar.
"Oh mother, Sasuke, father!" She wailed.
Sasuke... Now that I think about it, she looks like Mori! It's probably her, standing at her family's' graves. Perhaps she was going to visit me later.
I do live quite close, and I am her brother's... Best friend... Comrade... Thing... Oh whatever! I am confusing myself!
Should I go say hi? Ehh.... She might freak when she sees me. I am right above her... Watching her...
I seem like a creeper now. Goodness, not me! I'm just an assassin that kills people left and right! Haha. Yeah, I'm an assassin. A great one at that! As far as I know at least...
Mori always called me a failure and a gay because I never got a girl and I always had hung out with her brother. Now, times are different. All our friends and family are gone. Well, my family abandoned me when I was about two, but Mori's... Her family had a much deeper meaning.
"Satoshi, your special... Things... Are needed." A low woman's voice broke my thoughts.
"Naraku asked for me?" I slowly asked.
"He is waiting to give you your assignment. Hurry now, he hates it when you fool around on the way." The woman persisted.
"Fine, I understand. Leave." I murmured irritatedly.
There was a swoosh sound and her presence disappeared from the area.
"Bye, Mori." I said, giving one last glance at her as I dashed off through the trees silently. Making my way to Naraku's usual place, I noticed something. There was a malicious intent of want. He wants the jewel even more than before? Why now of all times?
"You're slow, Satoshi." He growled.
I knelt to the ground bowing, "My apologies Naraku-sama. An old friend caught my gaze."
He had glanced to the woman, who nodded annoyedly. She hated having to be responsible for me, and I knew it. All she wanted was freedom.
My only need to be here is strength and confidence. Once I have enough power, I can protect Mori.
Even though she is four years younger than me, I love her deeply. She was a gentle and kind spirit most times, and when she wasn't, it was only her cat demon personality showing. My favorite parts of her are her smile and laugh. They make me want to smile and laugh as well.
Maybe our races divide us a bit, but I can make it there! She may even like me in the future too! Being a fox demon wasn't that bad.
"Your task," Naraku began, breaking my thoughts as he continued, "Is to get the head of the dog half demon Inuyasha. If you do not fulfill this request you will be... Dismissed... In a special way by me." The masked demon laughed evilly, making me hesitate a moment.
"Of course... Naraku-sama." I stated very slowly.
"Are you sure?" He questioned slyly.
"Is the half demon strong?"
"Not to me, yet."
"May I decline the request?"
"There... Is one other option."
"What is it?"
"Kill the human girl with him."
"Must I kill someone every day? It's bloodying my coat!" I made up an excuse of why not to kill.
"Are you refusing me? If you are..."
"If I am... I will have to give up my right as part of you. I know." I grumbled.
"So will you stay?" The woman pestered.
"No. I've tired of this. Good day." I growled as I leapt out of the hideout and into the forest around it.
Now I was free of this tiring job. He had told me he'd make me stronger, but he hasn't. Not yet.
My eyes caught the flash of something shiny and I landed onto the ground from my branch. It was a small pink-purple shard of something.
The color was just like what I'd heard of the original Shikon Jewel.
Picking it up, I felt immense power, it was magical! Having a strange feeling it really was the jewel, I pressed it into my forehead, where it had grown in.
I knew because I had looked in a puddle by the stream that had overflowed one day. The stone was jammed in. Huh... What a weird thing, but now, I feel ever so much more powerful! Probably even more powerful than that human-like bird demon!
Clenching my hands and opening them, I punched a tree, and it fell over quickly. My power was amazing! Incredible! How quickly that shard made me stronger.
No matter what, I'm glad I quit Naraku's 'gang'.
Now I can protect Mori as much as I like-and tell her how much I love her! Actually, save that last part. It's a bit scary to think of right now. I'm really nervous just thinking about it. How should I say it? Should I tell her straight out, or in battle? Oh goodness, I never thought about this stuff!
Good Lord, though I'm a demon, please help me! No response, seriously? Thanks God. Love you too.
Oh Mori! Wait for me! I'm coming for you...!

Mori's POV
I sneezed as I stood up at the graves, had someone been talking about me? Nah, only Satoshi would really want to. I already know he likes me a bunch.
Honestly, he's a nice guy and all, but I just think of him as a friend. I wish he would visit Sasuke at least a little more often. The flowers here are from two years ago! He is so lax, that man.
Maybe I should go visit him after this, I don't really have anywhere else to go. Especially not home. I don't have a home... Oh no, don't think about it!
I began to cry. Thinking of the scenes at my old clan camp was horrible enough to break my heart into millions of tiny shards. The demons that died, all those babies and families...! My family...
Again, I wailed, "Oh mother! Sasuke! Father! Save me from this!"
Please... I hope you take me with you soon. It's so lonely with just Satoshi and I. My world is empty. Even Kagome and dog-idiot hate me now. Please... Please, just this once God. Save me.
