The Nine Sins
Disclaimer: I, in no way claim ownership of Naruto or Inuyasha and acknowledge that this is purely fan-made. This disclaimer extends to any and all chapters posted under this heading.
Notes: I'm not quite sure where the inspiration for this story came from (probably the lack of good InuyashaNaruto crossovers out there), but despite this I think the first chapter has turned out quite well. Yes I know that there are traditionally only 7 sins but there is such a thing as a creative license. Anyways hope you enjoy it.
Kagome wasn't quite sure how she ended up in the care of the Akatuski; it had all been a jumbled mix of being passed from person to person, being knocked out and being forced awake, trudging wearily and running frantically. But somehow it had come to be and here she was, stuck in the Akatuski lair until Pein decided what to do with her. But at least she had some amusement in this hellhole.
Tobi.
Kagome wasn't quite sure how to describe him other than an enigma, a stupid enigma that is. After all how many people come skipping- honestly what kind of horrendous killer skips? - into her prison and ask cheerfully if she was the new maid? Of course she would have beaten him bloody if she hadn't been completely starved for the past few days and if she could actually work up enough energy to do anything other than fall into the uncomfortable bed that was provided.
After what she was told was three full days of sleep she woke to find Tobi's glaringly obvious orange mask hovering over her until her saw her eyes flutter, at which point he took off shouting at the top of his lungs that the new maid was awake.
But that was then and this is now. Even if now includes getting up ever morning to eat breakfast with Tobi before going outside for her brief time in the fresh air. With Tobi religiously keeping guard by skipping-once again with the skipping- alongside her. Normally she savored her thirty minutes in the sun; but sometimes, like when awkward topics came up, those thirty minutes could never end fast enough. Like now.
"Kagome-san, why is it that you always wear black when you have really pretty kimonos in your closest that would make you less old." Tobi was honestly curious but the last part of what he said still caused a facial muscle to twitch.
But the thought of why she did wear all black everyday sobered her, "It's because I'm mourning the loss of my friends Tobi."
"What friends? Does Kagome-san mean the people you where with before who tried to kill you and Tobi?"
"No Tobi, I meant the people who died to save my life from the monsters that hunted me."
"Oh, Tobi's sorry for asking then."
Kagome gave a small smile at Tobi's last comment, he was the only Akatuski who could apologize and mean it; the rest just faked it.
"It's okay Tobi, I've accepted their deaths but I still mourn them."
"In that case Kagome-san, can Tobi ask Kagome-san to not wear them anymore? They make Kagome-san look old and wrinkly."
I know I shouldn't start a new story with an incomplete one but I just had to post this one. Besides I have made a resolution not to abandon any story I start. I'm also hoping to have the next chapter of Betrayal up by tomorrow. As always: tell me what you think!
