Author's Notes: This is the preview chapter. It's not officially the first chapter and this was written quite a few years ago. So please keep that in mind. The real chapter one is chapter 2.
Side note: This chapter won't explain how Kikyou joined Sesshoumaru's group, that's how I planned it and that's how its going to stay. The next chapter will explain.
Four Seasons
Spring: Chapter 1
Sunlight fluttered through Sesshoumaru's window. Instead of gazing upon the beautiful morning, he was curled up in to a ball under the covers on his bed. The birds were singing on the trees happily and one song joined in.
"Uh...What the hell..." Muttered Sesshoumaru under the covers, trying to go back to sleep despite the annoying voice. He finally couldn't stand it and sat up.
His eye twitched as he slowly turned his head towards the window. From the position of the sun it was 7:00am. Usually he woke up way ahead of 7:00am, sometimes 4:00am. But not today, because he stayed up way too late last night planning a way to kill Naraku and get what he wanted from Inuyasha. Though this was still, to most people, early to Sesshoumaru this was equivalent to waking up in the afternoon. He kept himself on a tight schedule
'What demon or human would think of making such a racket in my castle?' Thought Sesshoumaru as he dressed and began his search to find this demon or human behind the song and rip him or her to shreds.
He followed the singing all the way down the long halls, passing his servants who looked at him with a mixture of wonder and horror. Most likely they were wondering why his hair was messed up and why he seemed angrier than usual.
Sesshoumaru's search lead him all the way in to the kitchen. He pushed open the doors and marched in. Letting them slam behind him, he looked from left to right to see who was singing.
"Hi, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Came a happy little girl's voice from in front of him.
"Good morning, Sesshoumaru."Came a light woman's voice after the little girl's from the same direction.
"What the hell is going on in here. And whats with the singing?" asked Sesshoumaru as he glared at both of them. His gaze went from the energetic little girl named Rin to the quiet priestess Kikyou. Both were standing by a small table laying out foods that they had prepared.
"Oh the singing," said Kikyou as she put a finger to her chin and gently taped it."We thought we would sing as we cooked. I hope you don't mind us cooking breakfast."
Sesshoumaru was about to reply with "By a matter a fact, I do" when he saw Rin's hopeful, sweet face and with a sigh sat down.
Sesshoumaru didn't eat food prepared by humans. That was a fact that everyone knew. He had always hunted for his own food, whether it was a fish or deer. But as he smelled the great food in front of him Sesshoumaru decided to try it for once. Just this once.
Both Kikyou and Rin sat down in front of him looking at him with interest, seeing if he would eat it.
Sesshoumaru, seeing as he just couldn't get up and leave, picked up his chopsticks, picked up some of the food off a plate, and ate it.
Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. After looking around to see they that they were waiting for him to say something Sesshoumaru decided to be nice. For once. Might as well since Rin looked like she was going to burst into tears if he said something horrible. While the undead priestess seemed to care about Rin's reaction and was going to try to kill him, in his own kitchen, if he said something horrible. "This is very good, thank you."
"He liked it! He liked it!" Rin exclaimed as she jumped up and down.
"I'm glad" said Kikyou simply and quickly, like the moment was about to decide judgment day. And on some levels it was. Sesshoumaru could see that Kikyou had been prepared to give him a "purifying punch" upside his head if he said the wrong thing. She simply put her hands back in her lap and smiled as Rin continued to jump up and down.
"Where's Jaken?" Sesshoumaru asked once he finally noticed that the toad wasn't around. Jaken usually hung around him like the plague.
"Well Sesshoumaru-sama..."Started Rin until she got interrupted by a muffled voice and mysterious scratching sounds coming from the fireplace.
All of a sudden, down came a tied up and gagged Jaken. He spit out the gag and started yelling, "Master Sesshoumaru, these two humans tied me up and shoved me up the fireplace!"
"Is this true?"asked Sesshoumaru.
"Well, if he hadn't been so mean we wouldn't have had to," said Rin.
"If I hadn't been so mean! There's no way Master Sesshoumaru would like your human food!"
"Yeah, he does, toad breath!"
"Toad breath! You little human brat!"
"Don't call Rin a brat, toad poop!"
And on and on Rin and Jaken argued.
"Tea?" asked Kikyou.
"Yes." Sesshoumaru felt like he was going to have a headache.
It was just another regular morning.
Author's Notes: I hope you liked the first chapter. The next chapter should explain a lot more. I know Sesshoumaru was very occ and about all the spelling grammar mistakes that was in this. So you don't have to review telling me that. It also made no sense but the next chapter should explain everything. I fixed some mistakes and sentences to make this more readable. I made this first chapter a long time ago.
Since I no longer watch the anime I'm now reading the manga. But since it costs money, I'm not up to date. So don't try to ruin it for me by saying that this part happened here or there. I already ruined for myself by reading spoilers on some sites. Just think of this story as an AU (alternate universe) fan fiction where the ending to the anime/manga never happened.
Just leave a nice review. Tell me what you liked and disliked as long as its not a flame. And by like and dislike I don't mean the fact that this is Sesshoumaru/Kikyou, or saying something bad about me, or even something thing that doesn't have one damn thing to do with this fic! Just leave something that has "mostly" to do with it. And I do accept constructive criticism.
Now review. :)
