Pictures Of The New Moon Chapter 1"New Life"
Tears ran down Kagome's face as her mother's cuffing was being buried. She couldn't believe what was happening. A hand rested on her shoulder, and she turned around. There stood her mothers husband, but not her father. He had long red hair, and serious silver eyes.
"You're welcome to stay with me, and Alicia, Kagome."he said with a proper smile.
Kagome smiled, "No,thanks, Kihara.I sent a letter to the demon lords castle.I'm going up there to be a servant for his son.I need to go on my own.I'm 18.I'm not a little kid anymore."
"I understand, but don't you think being a servant for a demon is wise?"asked Kihara.
Kagome smiled, "My mom did it.So can I."
"Alright.I hope to see you again."sighed Kihara, with a regretful face.
A girl her age stood beside him, with a saddened face. She has long blonde hair, and soft, calm silver eyes. Just like Kihara.
Alicia whispered, "Why do you have to leave, Kagome?"
"I need too, Alicia.Besides, if I stay here with no job...King Naraku will banish me from this land.Remeber, my mother made a mistake before I was born...so I can't get a job here."sighed Kagome heavily.
Alicia nodded, "I might come up there to vist.You're like a sister to me, Kagome.I don't want you to leave."
"I'll come back to vist.If his royal highness will let me.Don't worry.I'll try to write."smiled Kagome.
Alicia hugged Kagome, and sobbed. She hugged her back, but held her tears. Kihara looked up at the sky as it rumbled.
Kihara sighed, "We better get back to the fields, Alicia.We should not keep, Kaede waiting."
"Right, father.Bye Kagome."whimpered Alicia turning her back.
Kagome clenched onto her bag, turned toward the trail, and nodded,
"So this horrible life begins...here I go."
Up In The Far Mountains; At Sunset
Kagome followed behind one of this servants. She had long dark hair, and bark brown eyes.
She started a conversation, "My names Sango Yamata, you?"
"Kagome Makoto.How is it in this castle?It's bigger than I thought."muttered Kagome.
Sango shrugged, "It's alright.As long as you don't do anything to harm Lord Sesshomaru.I've worked here since I was 13.He knows me well enough."
"So, I'm safe?"asked Kagome a bit tense on the subject.
Sango giggled looking back into Kagome's frightened ocean blue eyes, "You're safe with me.You'll share a room with me, and do the same chores as me, okay?"
"Sounds great."smiled Kagome.
They turned into a room big: big enough for two people, the walls were colored a pale blue, there was a set of stairs she guessed led to her quarter.
Sango closed the door behind her, and sighed, "Your room is down those stairs."
"Thanks.Can I call you Say?"asked Kagome, with a smile almost as proper as Kihara's.
Sango smiled, "Sure.Can I call you Kags?"
"Hai."smiled Kagome starting off for her room.
She walked down the dark stairs, and came to a door. Kagome opened it, and inside was: her single sized bed, a bathroom, and closet.
Kagome relaxed, "Thank Kami this isn't to big or to small."
She put her thing's inside the waredorbe closet, and sat on the spring bed. It was a bit uncomfortable, but she'd have to deal. Kagome laid back onto the bed, and closed her eyes. Memories of her mother flashed in her head. She opened her eyes, and asked to no one in particular,
"Oh, why didn't you tell anyone you had such a illness.What's your reason, mother?"
Surprisingly, no tears burned her eyes. There was a soft knock at her door. Kagome sighed, and sat up as Sango walked in.
Sango sighed, "His royal highness wants is the throne room immediately.Better out on your peasant clothing."
"Peasant.Such a great name, ne?"grumbled Kagome.
Sango laughed, "Yeah.Just great."
Kagome quickly put on her green crinkled chiffon 'Rosebud' peasant dress. It looked very beautiful on Kagome. She put her hair into a half up, half down ponytail.
"Ready?"asked Sango.
Kagome stood, "Yeah."
They walked out their rooms, and to the throne room. A man with fine clothing stood before everyone one, his right hand man, and a boy about two years younger stood not far from him. Kagome sighed already irritated. She never liked rich people. Sango waved at the right hand man, he who winked at her.
Sango blushed a bit. Kagome looked at her, and giggled.
"Is there a problem you two?"asked a smug voice.
A girl who looked a year older than Kagome, stopped in front of Kagome. She looked way to much like her for her own liking. Sango looked straight ahead, a bit pale.
Kikyo asked, "Is there?New girl?"
Sango looked as f she were wishing something. Kagome looked at Sango, and to the girls face.
"Uh, no."muttered Kagome in a low voice.
Kikyo smirked, "You spoke.I did not tell you to speak."
Kagome glared at the Kikyo with hate. She had a smart smirk on her face. As if she knew what she was going to do.
"That's 10 hand lashes to you.Juri will handle that."grinned Kikyo flipping her beautiful black hair in Kagome's face.
Kagome took one step, and Sango grabbed her arm. Sango shook her head violently. Kagome turned red slightly.
Kagome hissed, "What the hell is a hand lashing?Who does she think she is?"
"Please don't talk anymore, Kagome.You're gonna get us-
Sesshomaru stepped in front of the two, "You two come to interrupt my meeting?I didn't expect this from you, Sango."
Sango's head dropped, and she let go of Kagome. Kagome looked at Sango guilty, and sighed.
"Yet, another screw up.Nice going, Kagome.I should've just stayed back in the village, maybe it wouldn't''t of been so bad to marry that bastard, Naraku.Great!There's no turning back."thought Kagome, angry at her self.
Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome's chin, and made her look at him. There was a interested look in his eye. Sango looked at him shocked, and confused. He never touched a servant before. All the servant girls gasped, and whispered. Kikyo was by Inuyasha glaring hard.
Kagome whispered, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Kagome!"gasped Sango.
There was more gasping. Inuyasha eyed Kagome with interest. A smirk crawled onto his face as she glared up at his brother.
Sesshomaru frowned, "Juri...do what you must with this girl."
Someone grabbed Kagome's arm, and Sesshomaru let go of her. He turned and walked off.
"Sesshomaru!She's new!She didn't know!"yelled Sango.
Sesshomaru glared back at Sango, "She will learn not to speak to a 'king' in that manner.As you were."
"Bu-
Kikyo yelled, "He said as you were!"
Sango watched as Kagome was being dragged out the room. She sighed in defeat. Inuyasha looked around, and snuck out his existence in the room. He stopped Juri,
"I'll handle it Juri.You can go about your business.Let's keep this stopping of dusty between us, ne?"
Juri was about the hanyou's age, "B...b...between us, Master Inuyasha?!Yes!"
"Perfect."he whispered in a hot tone.
She walked off, letting out a squeak. Inuyasha looked into Kagome's ocean blue eyes.
Inuyasha asked, "What's your name?"
"Why?"asked Kagome stubbornly.
Inuyasha sighed, "Relax.I'm not like my brother.If you question him he'll make sure you get 51 hand lashings."
"It's Kagome...Kagome Makoto.You are?"asked Kagome relaxing her attitude.
Inuyasha smirked, "Inuyasha Takahashi.The royal pain's brother.How old are you?"
"I'm 18.I'm guessing you're 20, and your brother is 22?"asked Kagome knowing his right.
Inuyasha nodded, "Right.Where are you from?"
"Village Sayunga.Far from here.I'm regretting leaving now."sighed Kagome, leaning against the wall behind her.
Inuyasha asked, "Why'd you come all the way here?"
"My mother died yesterday of a terrible illness.She kept it a secret.Before I was born, my mother refused to sign the Bukku of Honor.So...if you didn't...your first daughter was to marry the king.Unless she not work in his lands, and leave the village.So...I didn't want to marry that bastard.He killed my father."explained Kagome, with sad eyes.
Inuyasha whispered, "I'm sorry.Your life sucks, ne?"
"Yes, thank you for reminding me."frowned Kagome.
She began to walk off. Inuyasha grabbed her arm, and turn her back toward him. Their faces only inches away.
Inuyasha whispered, "Wait, I didn't mean it that way, Kagome." His voice got more passionate with every word. "You're so beautiful."
"Uh...are you alright?"asked Kagome as his hand clenched her waist.
His eyes were slightly red. She was officially freaked out as his lips kissed her neck. Kagome's faced flamed hot as realization popped into her head. Kagome pushed him away.
Kagome shivered, "What's the matter with you.I just met you!"
"Wa...what?Oh damn it all to hell!Let me explain."whispered Inuyasha rubbing at his eyes.
Kagome stepped back, "I know what you were doing.Just stay away from me, will ya?"
"Wait, Kagome."growled Inuyasha.
Kagome glared at him, and left. She shivered when she reached the room. She locked the door behind her.
Sango hugged her, "Are you alright!?Are your hands feeling like they're going to fall off!I'll get you a ice-
"Sango, Sango!"giggled Kagome. "I'm fine.That Inuyasha guy stopped her.He said he'd take care of it, but never did.He was...flirting with me."
Sango gasped, "Are you for real, Kagome!?"
"One hundred percent, yes."nodded Kagome.
Sango giggled, "Oh boy.Kikyo's going to be pissed!Her father betrothed her to him, and he hasn't said yes yet!So... if you're passively a crush to him then!You're going to be betrothed!"
"What!Are you kidding me!He was trying to court me, Sango!"yelled Kagome turning red a bit.
Sango's eyes widened, "As in kissing you on the neck, and eyes reddened?"
"Exactly!"nodded Kagome bewildered.
Sango smirked, "You're so going to be betrothed.All he has to do is seeing you every day for a month, and he can tell Sesshomaru who he wants!You can't deny because you're a peasant now!Not noble.If he see's you more than a month... he's totally serious about you."
"A...A...Are you- SAY WHAT!!!"yelled Kagome, her voice echoed to the beyond.
