My Demonic Love Story- A Sesshomaru x Original Character Fanfiction

Chapter 1: Into a New World

 Kairii stumbled to a halt, breathing hard. Shit. That always sucked. No matter how many times it happened, it always felt the same. Suffocating blackness, shock, anger, and pain. Always the pain. She inhaled a little to steady herself. The pain was fading, becoming memory. Memory of how she'd died.

Shuddering a little, she looked around. Though to most nothing would appear out of place, she immediately recognized the change of realms. There were rolling fields, forests, mountains even. Not a dark, cold city and monsters in every room. She shook her head. This place could be dangerous too. Especially to the unwary. So, she took stock of herself.

She was in Japan. She was told this by the white kimono top she wore with plain black kimono pants that flared around her ankles. OK, Japan. That told her little to nothing, except she obviously wasn't in the modern era. So, she reached into the bag at her hip, that was always there, and pulled out a book. To most, it was a blank, ordinary chunk of bound paper. Sometimes they saw it as a scroll. But as she scanned the pages and grew paler and paler, it was evident she saw something else. Lowering the book, she looked around, swallowing hard.

"Inuyasha." she said.

Kairii woke up slowly. She'd found herself a tree to sleep in. Today, she'd see what she could find. If her expectation was correct, she'd find herself near Kaede's village. And that would be where she'd have to walk with a delicate hand. Kairii wasn't allowed to 'interrupt' the story. In fact, there were several instances where her presence altered the story, and she was required to set the story straight, or suffer horrendous pain. Yeah. Even if she had to betray anyone she'd come to care for, she had to do it if she didn't want to die. Permanently. Sitting up in the tree, she looked around.

There was only one bonus that she could think of to changing worlds. She got to keep all the old skills she'd learned in the other worlds. But whereas she could be a werewolf (bitten during her time there) in one world, in this one, she was apparently human. But then...she wasn't quite human too. As she kept the skills, she also took with her the abilities of whatever allowed her to travel through realms. Was something more than human. And that would help.

Shoving her flaming red hair from her face, she narrowed green eyes like a forest at the world. She was human, so she wasn't sure, but she could almost hear shouting. She frowned, until it got closer.

"Sota!" it was Kagome, the protagonist of the story. "Grandpa?!" And if she spotted Kairii, then she'd never find the hero of the story, Inuyasha. So Kairii climbed higher into her tree, staying out of sight. She tracked Kagome's progress until she was out of sight. Then she sighed in relief. Her best option right now was to find someplace to stay that would be safe from demons, and still be out of the story. At the very least, she needed protection. And she had no idea what kind of harmony she'd shatter if she attempted to join Inuyasha and Kagome on their quest. Still, she couldn't stay in the forest. Most of the worlds she'd already passed through didn't include having to camp out long term. She didn't know how to survive without some equipment. And the kimono she was wearing sadly did not come with any weapons. Carefully, Kairii climbed off the tree and began walking absently.

It didn't take long for her feet, or her fate, whichever hated her more, to lead her to Inuyasha's clearing. He was still there, asleep. So, Kagome hadn't woken him up yet. Well, it was best to get away from him anyways. It wouldn't take long for the seal in Kikyo's arrow to begin fading. And then he'd wake up. She knew this from both memory and the book she'd read. She let out a long sigh. If there was one thing that was always inconsistent with her was that she couldn't predict timeskips. It might take a day or two in order for Kagome to come free Inuyasha. It could be weeks before Kagome shattered the Shikon Jewel. All Kairii knew was what would happen, given the right circumstances. If it happened one right after the other, Kairii was something of a 'visionary' or 'clairvoyant.' To most, she just always seemed to know everything. Every choice, every future, all the things that led up to the end. And Kairii only knew these things because she'd read them all. These living people she came to care about, they were characters in her reality, but living a real life in a real world here. And she became part of that world when she traveled. Sometimes her books would change to include her, but then she'd disappear again. Worse, in her opinion, she couldn't warn anyone or protect them when she came to care too much. That was part of her abilities too. She could only speak of the future if she said it in a language that the person she was talking to didn't understand. Naturally, there were a couple ways to get around it. Invent a language. Teach one person that language. Record her language babbling and play it back for that one person. Have that person translate. Bang! Warning delivered. For a long time, she thought she'd just stay in that world, where she could actually fight and live and warn her friends. Once the story ended, her life became her own, didn't it? She lost the ability to predict a story that had already gone.
