Chapter 1
A long forgotten past
It was really quiet in a forest on the border of the Northern lands the lake was peaceful and the only noise there was, was the laughter of two childish inu youkai.
"Come on Rei I know that you can fight better than that!"
"Kia I swear one of these days..."
"What I'll hurt myself?" she asked in a babyish voice
"No I'll tickle you to death!" He said jumping out of a bush behind the girl.
His metallic blue hair went down to his mid back and was tied back with a simple black tie at the nape of his neck. He was wearing a black hakama (pants) and a dark blue haori (shirt). Kia, the girl, was wearing a tight black top that hugged to her curves. She was wearing a black pair of slightly baggy pants that were covered by a skirt that slit above her knees and fell down to the middle of her calf. Her silver hair that shined blue was tied up in a high ponytail and then braided so it wouldn't get in her way.
Between fits of laughter Kia managed to say "ok Rei, I give please stop!" she said hopelessly before he stopped and hugged her close to him and they sat down with him sitting down cross legged her sitting back on her elbows.
"sigh what would I do without my big brother?" she asked him with a smile she had asked this question a million times.
"You would probably get so bored you'd come and find me after three days!"
"HA HA HA! Very funny. Otou-san found another suitor for me grrrrrrr when is he gonna learn that I don't want a mate yet? I mean How many have I turned down?" she asked him getting annoyed.
"Well if he found another one then we better get back it's almost dinner time." He said standing up and holding his hand out to her.
"I guess." She said glumly and then stood up. As soon as she was standing on her own two feet she pushed him over and he landed in the lake that had been in front of them as they sat there.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" He yelled at her as he came to the surface his face, hair and clothes all soaking wet.
"THAT, aniki, was for tickling me half to death." She said with a laugh that she was trying to hold back.
When she finished saying that and was on her knees clutching her sides and laughing her head off Rei stood up and said "There's someone here we better head back."
Kia's laughter immediately halted and she stood up. "Ok let's go."
With that she walked over to him and they started to run back to the castle.
'home.' Was the only word that came to mind as they both ran.
At the western castle
"Father, remind me again why I have to go and meet this girl?" said the young-ish prince with a groan.
"Well son that would be because when ever we find you a girl that we think would be suitable as a mate for you; you find something wrong with her."
"That's cuz most of the time she's a complete baka." The boy muttered
"Language Sesshomaru." Said a woman that was standing beside the boy's father
"Yes mother." He said through gritted teeth.
"Sesshomaru we leave soon I suggest that you go get ready." She said with a glare.
'Damn it WHY ME? WHY ALL THE TIME ME!'
When he got to his room he picked a semi formal Kimono and put it on. He wouldn't need his amour tonight
Later with Kia and Rei
"REI!" Came an exasperated yell from the one side of the castle
"WHAT?" he answered though he didn't sound angry just really annoyed
"Do you know where my new shoes went?" she asked with an innocent expression on her face
(Rei falls anime style)
"You yelled just to know if I knew where your shoe's where?" He said with an expression that made it seem as though he didn't believe her
"Yup. That and WE are late."
"Late for what exactly?"
"DUGH." She said pulling him out to the training grounds
"My lesson"
"KIA WE ARE GOING TO HAVE GUESTS AND YOU WANT TO TRAIN WITH ME?"
"Yup"
"Fine let's get this over with" he said drawing his sword.
Later after many rounds of sparring
"Yah know we aren't going to be able to do this after tonight probably." Kia said with a sigh
"I know.sigh" Rei said with equal disappointment
"Well I have to go and get ready for the guy." She said sheathing her blade.
(an. Kia was NOT wearing the traditional out fit it was the same outfit as earlier!)
Kia made her way to her room and closed the door softly behind her
'I wont go though with this!' she thought 'I am not going to let other people plan my life for me! Rei...forgive me."
With that she sprayed cinnamon perfume on her body to mask her real scent and grabbed a cloak from her wardrobe. She jumped out the window and fled that castle.
