Hey, guys. For all those of you who are waiting for me to update my other stories, I'm sorry, just keep waiting longer. I have a new story and for once it is actually finished. So, you guys will get a special treat. I'm going to start posting this now, but hold off posting the whole thing until I get some reviews. I promise you it is good and it is a Kuronue/Kagome pairing. I'll throw Yoko in there somewhere, but probably not as her mate or anything...maybe later. Anyway, I hop you like the first chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kuronue or Kagome nor the show Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha.
The Angel and the Demon
Chapter 1
She was watching him again.
She was always watching, it's what she was created to do.
Although even if it weren't her duty, she would have done it anyway
He was running.
He was always running...or moving...or flying.
He was so beautiful, her dark creature of the night.
His beautiful ebony hair flowed behind him and always seemed to dance in the whispering wind. Laughing violet eyes blinked from beneath thick black lashes and heavy eyelids as he watched the world around him. His movements were precise and elegant and oh so perfect as he raced through the trees closely following an equally elegant male.
He looked so...free. They both did.
Was that why she watched him? Because he was free and she wasn't? Because he was leading a life she only dreamed about living?
Or was it because he was the most beautiful creature she'd ever laid eyes on?
She caught the site of his wings, stretching deliciously in the warm glow of the night and the cool, calm breeze of spring.
She loved his wings, leathery and soft looking. She thought they were one of his best features, beside his hair...and his eyes...and his body. Kami, she loved everything about him, everything he was, and everything he wanted to be. She desperately ached to touch his wings, his hair, his warm skin, but still she knew it was forbidden.
He was demon and she was...off limits.
He was her charge, she his protector, and protect him she would. She would give up her life for him, to protect him from harm.
It was against the rules for ones such as her to interact with ones such as him. He was a creature of darkness, she was of light. But that didn't mean that the light didn't long for the darkness. Without the other, neither could exist. So...why was it so wrong to want a little darkness in her life? She was light, she could always find her way back to peace. But she couldn't and the bad part about it was that she understood. She had to. She was required to. She was born to die for him and if that was her destiny then so be it. But that didn't mean it didn't hurt. She looked at him now, dark and lovely as he was, wishing that once, just once she would be able to touch him, hold him, run her fingers through his dark, glossy hair. But more than that she wanted him to touch her, to look upon her own body and think her beautiful. And she wanted...
She just wanted him.
She sighed longingly again and something wet landed on her clenched fist and she weakly raised a hand to her dampening cheek. pulling her fingers away and admiring the wetness. Why...why am I crying? Why am I reduced to this? Why was I born into a life filled with longing and regret? This isn't right. I'm supposed to be happy here in a world surrounded by light. So why is it that I long for things that I can never have?
She wanted to spend an eternity in his arms, the longing she felt since she was a child had never faded. She'd been born at the same precise time as him, born to protect and born to die. She used to spend hours watching him as a child. She alone knew the hardships he'd had to suffer. She'd protected him when he needed it, although he was never aware of her presence.
She fell in love with him the moment she first laid eyes on the vivid purple-eyed boy, the day she saved him from some hungry demons. He'd passed out from their attack and she'd fended them all off. She'd sat with him for hours, holding his head and whispering to him, stroking his wings and hair and telling him that she loved him and that she always would. And when he finally awakened, she was gone.
The tears were falling freely now as she watched him take to the sky, his giant wings carrying him higher and higher. She watched in awe as he dipped and spun, almost as if he were dancing in the air. Her heart almost shot up into her throat when she watched him plummet to the ground only to pick up his partner and toss him into the air, laughing when his partner shot him a death glare. But then the silver one over came his fear and was now watching in awe at the ground below as both demons glided together.
And then suddenly she was laughing with them...and crying all at the same time. Why? Why aren't I free to love him?
Something glinted in the moonlight and caught her eye.
She looked more closer...saw the arrow...saw the hunter.
She gasped, clasping an icy cold hand over her mouth. Why was he there? Why had he shot her charge?
She could do nothing but watch as the arrow struck him, catching him so off guard that he toppled from the sky. She watched in horror as the creature she loved plummeted to the earth, sending both he and his partner skidding over the ground.
Her eyes widened and she stood up, waiting for him to pass out. She had to go to him. She had to save him...had to save him from...him. But she had to wait until he fell into unconsciousness. Only then could she go to him. It was forbidden to show herself to him. She didn't exactly know what would happen if she ever did, but the consequences of her actions could hasten her death. And then she would never see him again. He would simply be assigned a new guardian and she...she didn't know, but it wouldn't be good.
But...
He was still moving, he and his partner both. But they were hurt and the hunter was moving in fast. And worse of all, she knew who it was. And it was only a matter of moments before the hunter would reach both creatures.
She had to help him.
But she couldn't.
She had to go to him.
But she couldn't.
He needed her
And she loved him.
...so she went.
So? What did ya'll think. Does it have possibilities? Please R/R.
