Todoku’s Love Story
Prologue
A/N: I’ve decided that this will replace my last fanfic, The Healing Claw. I’m gonna try to make this more likable and understanding to those reading. And to those reading…THANK YOU!!
Ahh Love,
It becomes…too much to bear sometimes…
A young woman was on her way home from a gravesite. This woman was a half-demon cat. She had cat ears and tail as symbols of her mixed blood. They were black with white at the tips. She wore a short, long-sleeved red kimono that went down to her thighs tied up by a thin gold obi. Her long hair was black and pulled back into a bun with red and gold ornamental hair sticks. She even wore a Chinese style of shoe worn by martial artists. Completing her outfit she wore two black cloth cuffs around her legs below the knee.
This was Todoku, caretaker of the forest and hospital that resided there, known as the Todoku forest. She was named after this place that had a remarkable calming effect on anyone who happened to be traveling through it.
Todoku’s eyes were watery after visiting the grave of the Great Dog General. He’d been a friend of the family for years. And given that Todoku had woken up from her 200-year seal a couple of days ago, she’d come to find out that he had passed shortly after she was sealed. Her father’s two vassals Alanna, the tiny chinchilla demon and Inga a fallow deer demon were escorting her back home. Both of them dressed like ordinary human villagers, though they were far from it. Alanna would often be brandishing her rather large mousy chinchilla ears with her long tufted tail; and Inga, though she was female, would display tiny deer antlers on her head in addition to her fluffy deer tail. Todoku would even find herself taken with Inga’s magenta eyes as Todoku’s own eyes were the same color.
Sensing that she wasn’t going to be able to sleep, Todoku took the night watch for any late night visitors to the forest. Inga decided to stay up with her.
“How do you feel, a little better than before?” Inga asked her. Todoku still looked very melancholy.
“Not really. I…can’t believe he died. He seemed so strong…” She replied trying to wipe her face from any stray tears.
“Hmm,” Inga wanted to say something, but before she could, she sensed a demonic aura. “Well, you might wanna look more presentable…Someone’s coming…”
“Huh?” before she could think or even do anything, the visitor was already on the pathway leading to the forest’s entry way. It was foggy so she really couldn’t see him at first. She picked up a scent that seemed very familiar yet different. His footsteps grew closer and in the moonlight she could see him.
A very dashing demon walked before her on the path. He was dressed in an expensive looking red and white kimono and precious armor. He had a very large cloak of fur wrapped around his right shoulder and on his face a set of two magenta stripes on each cheek with a crescent moon on his forehead.
Todoku couldn’t help but stare at him as he passed. “He’s….GORGEOUS!!” she thought eyes transfixed on him.
“Well don’t just sit there drooling,” Inga snapped her from her reverie. “Go greet him! I think he has an injury,”
“Uh…right,” Todoku nervously rose from her seat and stepped out onto the pathway before him. “Hello there!” She tried to smile, but he was very intimidating with the stare he was giving her. “Welcome to my forest, it’s a haven for those stressed or injured…”
“What do you think Lord Sesshoumaru?” An Imp at his side requested. Apparently, he was the dashing demon’s servant.
‘Sesshoumaru? Where have I heard that name before?’ Todoku’s mind pondered.
She caught sight of his right hand, it was pretty bloody. “Oh here, lemme take care of that for you,” Todoku said placing her basket on the ground and reaching for his hand. Sesshoumaru obviously felt very violated that someone dared place their hands on his person.
“Unhand me! I don’t require assistance from the likes of y---“ Sesshoumaru pulled his hand back just to have her grab for it once more.
“Oh of course you do!” Todoku said braving pulling his injured hand closer to her.
“How dare she touch me!” Sesshoumaru was outraged. He brought up the poisonous claws of his left hand preparing to slay this filthy little half-breed. That was when he witnessed her healing power for the first time. His hand lay gently between hers and her claws glowing in a blue-green light. Before long, the wound that would have been stinging him and cause him annoying discomfort through the night was completely gone.
“There you go, that wasn’t so bad now was it?” Todoku gave him that smile again. “Feel free to stay in this forest as long as you need to. And don’t be afraid when you have any injuries to see me, kay?”
He tried to kill her, yet…she helped him and even welcomed him into her home. He watched her as she walked away with her smile. Her tail swishing back and forth across her backside.
Inga was watching the whole thing from the treeline, she was about to shout at her when she saw Sesshoumaru’s hand go up and about to strike her. When Todoku came up to her Inga had her hand on her chest as if she was trying to calm her heart.
“What’s wrong Inga?” Todoku said as she came back into the trees.
“Maybe you shouldn’t be so straight forward with a demon…” She panted. The shock still ravaged her.
“I know,” Todoku lightly chuckled. “But something told me that if I showed him my power he would stop himself…and he did…”
“That’s very dangerous intuition you have there…” Inga replied calming herself. Todoku merely smiled.
“The little kappa at his side called him Sesshoumaru, I could’ve sworn I’ve heard that name before.” Todoku pondered as she tried to recall the full memory of her dilemma.
“Sesshoumaru? Wasn’t that the name of the Great Dog General’s son?”
Todoku gasped and nearly fell backward as it finally hit her thanks to Inga. The entire flashback of the memory even played out in her head…
----flashback----
Todoku and her father were enjoying some after dinner chats with their good friend, the Great Dog General. Todoku’s father, Michodou, had just finished saying that children were a handful; meaning only to tease his little girl who gave him a playful nudge.
But then she heard InuTaisho agree with him. Did that mean…?
“You have a child?” Todoku asked him.
“Oh yes, I do” He answered before taking another sip of his tea.
“He has a little boy,” Her father then answered.
Todoku smiled at InuTaisho wanting him to spill more information. “A little boy?! What’s his name?” she said hoping that she could get to meet him if she begged. Maybe they were the same age and they could play together? Todoku at this time was the equivalent of an eleven year old. “Maybe we can play together! Please?”
InuTaisho’s eye brows scrunched together a bit. “I’m sorry but it seems your father has lost track of time since he’s last seen my son. He’s quite a bit older than you are and doesn’t play like that anymore…”
Well there goes that dream.
Todoku couldn’t help but look a disappointed. Poor hanyou couldn’t find any playmates just by being the way she was. InuTaisho couldn’t stand seeing her so, he just answered her other question. “His name is Sesshoumaru. And so to speak he’s training now to defend himself,”
“Ah! Like how Father is teaching me to fight?” Todoku seemed to forget her earlier distress; InuTaisho smiled with her.
“Yes. And everytime I show him a technique in fighting, he executes it ten times as good; kinda scary really…” he replied.
----End Flashback-----
“You’ve gotta be kidding me. THAT’S THE SON OF THE GREAT DOG GENERAL!?!?” Todoku looked back toward the path where she left him. He was gone, but scanning the area she found him on the path leading him to the only cherry tree in her forest. That cherry tree was special to her and she even believed it held a special kind of soothing power that echoed through the entire forest.
“He’s quite handsome isn’t he?” Inga teased as Todoku was ogling him like she was before.
“I…well…uh” Todoku stumbled, but Inga always teased her like this. Getting a little angry Todoku decided to meet her with her teasing. “Well if you think he’s handsome, you oughta try to court him, Inga!”
“Oh please, I think I’m far too old for him.” Inga was 700 years old, though she looked like a young village woman despite her magenta eyes and pointed ears. “Besides, I’m not the one making stares at him…”
Inga had her there. She couldn’t seem to stop staring at the very dashing dog demon that held his father’s familiar scent, but was his own. She saw that he had settled down and sat against the tree’s trunk. He might just be retiring there for the night. Todoku felt lucky in a sense.
Inga had gone back to prepare Todoku’s bed for her, though it didn’t look like she wanted to sleep. Todoku herself was hiding in the bush near her home staring at the young elegant demon about 60 or 70 paces before her.
“You know,” Inga’s voice startled Todoku in her hiding place. “Demons can often feel when there are eyes on them….”
Inga was right, if Todoku stared any longer he might just pursue her trying to blind her so she didn’t stare any longer.
But…
It was too hard not to! He was so handsome and the Dog General’s son!! She finally had gotten to meet him and desperately wanted to get to know him better; totally forgetting that he almost killed her just moments earlier. But Inga was right, perhaps she should just go to bed.
Looking forlorn, “Okay Inga, I’ll go to bed,”
Inga hadn’t meant to make her sad, but she needed her little neko-hanyou to go to bed so she can get to work first thing in the morning. Running a hospital was no easy feat and only Todoku could heal so many patients at once with her special healing power, not only that, but she needed to gather herbs for those with illnesses. Todoku can heal broken bones , cuts, slices and punctures, but she’s yet to master healing internal illnesses. She was happy that she managed to move on from the Dog General’s death, but tearing her from this new demon would probably be a challenge.
