Um...hi. This is my first story... I hope you enjoy it? You probably don't even read this! >. Oh! If you see next to a word, it means I have the explanation at the bottom. Not like you Inuyasha fans'll need it... Like: ramen. On to my story!


.:Runaway:.

Default

All was peaceful as the day started to awaken. Not a thing stirred in the pre-morning air of Sengoku Jidai; except for one….

A young woman shoved items into a bundle hastily. The woman was around the age of 15; no more, no less. If I don't hurry, I'll have to wait 'til the next day! I can't risk that!

Inside her pack, there was food that should last her a week and to her comfort, but merely servant's dress. The girl picked through her drawers, whispering silently to herself. "Where is it? Where, where, where is – oh, here it is!"

The girl drew from a pile of clothes a shiny pendant with a glamorous ruby centering it, twirling as she held it up. Just by looking at it brought forth tears to the girl's blue-grey eyes.

She walked towards her balcony, hopping over junk piled around her room in her path. The girl leaned against the rail of the balcony as she tucked her beautiful dark hair behind her ear. Her eyes wandered to the slowly rising bright orb as her mind swirled with her emotions and thoughts. Yes, she was princess of the Asa kingdom, or known as the ningen realm. And it wasn't all glamour and lace like every one else believes. How could anyone wish to be princess? They don't understand; being a princess means more responsibility than a girl can take…. That is why I'm leaving responsibility, power, and…marriage.

The woman stared at the pendant, a tear dripping down her cheek. She pulled the gold chain above her head and onto her neck. Then, she concealed the locket beneath her kimono. She was going to be free…no one to tell her what to do…she was finally free after all these years….


If anyone can lend me some help, it'd be appreciated! Oh, yeah. Here are the Japanese terms (which I'm positive you all know):

asa – morning

ningen – human

I'll try to put another chapter after Tuesday, but you guys probably don't care... Ja ne minna!
