Chapter One: The Girl Named Kikyo
Journey. That was what life was all about for the equivocal half-demon, Inuyasha. His journey that lie before him, what was around him, what was already gone and done. But, a body can not dwell to far on the past, for they may be umbrageous. Inuyasha tried to focus on what was ahead of him more than anything else. He theorized on what he would become. Right now his thoughts were centered upon one woman, Kikyo.
Kikyo was a small, slender person. Her hair was locked in long black curls, reaching to her waist. Her smile was endemic, everyone that saw it smiled to. They saw each other everyday, for they lived in the same village. He awaited for the day when she would talk to him. He had heard her speak. Her voice was unalloyed and sounded like many symphonius, scintillating bells. He would just have to fill time by doing something else.
Right now this stalwart, young half-demon sat beneath an unobtrusive tree. His sword lay beside him. The sky above was misty with the passing clouds. He was lost in thought. This thought of his was unblenching, never before had he dared try such a thing. But now his gallantry was high and while he still had the adacity he would act upon his thought. His thought was to ask Kikyo to be his companion. He thought it to insolent to ask her to be his lover for right now. The only question was how? What was he going to say? He confirmed in his head that he would wait until the morrow. Then he would ask her. That would give him some allotment of time to plot out his words.
His thoughts were fragmentary when Kikyo sauntered past him. She took no heed of the lone figure sitting underneath the tree. She didn't know he was there. He, however, knew she was there and he decided that this was the best time to ask her his question. This was because for once in his life, Inuyasha saw Kikyo alone. He stood and brushed of his garments. He walked inaudibly over to her. He then saw a sight that malcontented him. Tears were streaming down her pulchritudinuos face. She stopped before him and wiped away her tears.
"I..Is there something wrong?" he asked in a revivifying voice.
"Yes. I have never spoken to you before now, however, I do know you. I probably shouldn't tell you this... it is embarrassing that you caught me actually... but I'm crying because I'm getting married." She broke into a wave of fresh tears.
Inuyasha was pained and confused at the same time. "Isn't that a good thing?" he asked hurt but consolingly.
"Yes, normally it would be but there is a problem. I don't want to get married. I am being forced to. My parents arranged the wedding. I don't love this man I'm with... I love someone else." she said leaning her head on his shoulder.
"That is bad. If I'm not bothering you, do you mind telling me who you do love?"
"Oh, Inuyasha I-I...I love you."
I hope it wasn't to confusing. I hope you enjoyed it.
