I do love Review's so sock'em to me okay!
I didn't like my other story I wrote so I'm writing this one. I really want to have a story with life and character.
It's going to be in the feudal era.
Okay, it's going to take awhile to get to Sesshomaru and Rin, but don't worry it will and it's going to get pretty serious. I advise you to really read the story or you will be lost if you don't.
Chapter 1
Fate and A New Start
It was dark. The sky was cloaked with black as thunder broke through the silence of the night. Rain soaked the earth with life giving water. Wind howled through the trees, forcing them to moan and wail, making them appear as monsters of sadness and pain.
Why is this happening?
Shouts of villagers could be heard afar amidst the trees. Rain now falling with more force making eyes blurred and skin to sting, but that did not distract them for a youkai was found in their village. Not a vicious and terrible youkai, no, but a small child.
A small girl.
Running as fast as her small legs could carry her, she cried. Stumbling over rocks and limbs with her bare feet, she still picked herself up and ran. From head to toe she was saturated in mud and rain. Cuts and scraps covered her small body everywhere. Peering at her hands once again, her nails had begun to grow into claws…
Why me?
Stopping only when she could no longer hear the yells of the villages, finding shelter under a willow tree, she curled into a ball and cried, exhausted from trying to hide from the villagers all night.
I'm alone…
She had cried herself to sleep. Curled under a willow tree she slept with tears stained to her pale cheeks. The wind and rain seemed to be against her as thunder cracked throughout the night, but she slept.
Next Day
Shivering slightly, she opened her eyes. The sun was out and the air smelled of last night's rain. Placing her tiny hands over her face she cried silently once more. What was she to do?
As that thought crossed her mind a mans voice called to someone in front of the willow tree, "General, I have found something."
Terror struck her as she hugged her self close to the trunk of the tree. Shadows found against the hanging branches of leaves, as a clunk noise came from the shadows. Someone came off a horse and began making steady footsteps to the draping curtain of leaves.
"Well…what is it?" Came a calm voice of another man.
A gloved hand of two shadows lifted the shade of leaves revealing the small girl. She closed her eyes tightly. She could hear a pair of footsteps stop right in front of her. Waiting, listening, trembling was all she could do. Was he going to kill her, keep her, eat her…?
Questions rambled through her like lighting only to be answered when something warm and dry was placed around her. Flinching when a large hand patted the top of her head, she hesitantly opened her eyes.
"How interesting…do you have family?"
Her eyes lay upon an old man, nodding her head left to right. He was smiling at her warmly. Looking down at what he placed on her, she saw a cloak. She looked scared and curious at the same time, making the old man in front of her laugh. His laugh was warm and hearty. Feeling less frightened she smiled weakly at him.
Gazing at his face again, she noticed his ears. They were pointed…he was a youkai. Clutching onto the cloak with small fingers, she trembled.
Beaming at her with gentle eyes, he spoke softly, "How about you live with me as my daughter?"
Daughter…
Eleven Years Later
"Milord, the preparations for the celebration tonight are ready."
"Ah, very good, Noki, take the day off."
"Oh, Lord Hitoshi, I couldn't."
Sighing Lord Hitoshi replied, "I won't say it again, now off with you. I don't want to see you working, is that understood?"
"Oh, thank you Milord," bowing with a happy smile Noki, paced quickly out of Lord Hitoshi's chamber giggling.
Lord Hitoshi had short, thick, nicely cut frosty blonde hair with dark emerald eyes. He wore a tight black training uniform with a long black robe over his clothing. He did not wear any armor, he felt it slowed him down in battle. Hitoshi trains his soldiers with the General, which is the reason of him wearing the training uniform. One day he just decided that he would wear it all the time.
As soon as she shut his chamber door with a small clink, Noki was off running to the training ground. She could always find her best friend training soldiers, quickly running down the stairs and into the great hall, passing servants and guards.
The palace was in the very word beautiful. Vases, pictures, flowers, carpets, and fine furniture were furnished throughout the entire place. Just walking through the halls was quite a pleasant one. Pictures of past lord's could be seen as large ivory pillars where in rows and the floor gleamed with wonderfully shiny marble. Everything in the palace shown with brightness.
To bad the hall was so long! It takes at least thirty minutes to run from one end to the other.
Lord Hitoshi is the Lord of the Eastern Lands and has recently come to a peaceful agreement with the Lord's of all the four lands to attend a celebration…finally.
With Noki
Being careful not to fall on the marble from her mad dashing, Noki made her way around the hall, passing General Jenshi.
"Noki, tell Rin to get ready for tonight when you see her." General Jenshi voiced out as she passed him.
"I will!" Noki yelled, running toward an arched doorway. Two servants open the massive door, spilling light into Noki's eyes.
Finally the back grounds of the palace.
Simple wonderful.
A small pond full of koi was located on the left side of the grounds, as flowers covered all the eye could see, colorful ones. None where in any order, they where all free and made the land appear like a large meadow, except in the middle of the meadow was a huge training ring.
It was the shape of a large circle, in the middle was sand, while a wood fence surrounded the outside. That was the training ring, only meant for one thing. To get the crap kicked out of whoever feels lucky to go against…
Her back was turned with eyes closed to Noki, she was doing mediating stances. Soldiers surround the outside of the ring just to watch her. Who wouldn't? For this young woman was a beauty beyond compare.
Her skin was fair with a ting of peach, giving it life. A light blue stripe adored each of her cheeks. Long raven tresses drifted like fine silk upon the breeze, as she slightly moved her hands to follow the gentle wind. But her eyes were most catching. Golden with brown bordered around her pupils, slightly mingling with the gold. She was a tall slender young women standing at five foot ten.
Youkai soldiers seemed to be mesmerized by her slow flowing moments.
This woman was very special, very special indeed. When she was a little girl she was a runaway commoner…and now at twenty, she is a full blooded inuyoukai of a general's daughter. Her father being a cat youkai, the whole Eastern Lands are the provinces to the cat youkai, making Rin's stay there an unusual one. Rin, being an inuyoukai.
"Hey, Rin!" Noki bellows coming to lean against the post of the ring, taking in deep breathes.
As soon as the name was yelled a beautiful face turned toward the caller, "Noki, so did he let you off?" Rin giggled jumping from the ring to the side of Noki. Landing gracefully upon the tip of one foot before both feet settled on ground.
"Yep," giggling as she pulled Rin's hand, leading her away from prying ears, "Lord Hitoshi is planning a celebration tonight, right?"
Rin nodded her head. Well of course she knew that, her father's been telling her about it all week. He really wants her to be mated. Right, that's happening anytime soon and he knows it. Rin's has too much free spirit.
"Well what's with the celebration?" Rin asked with curiosity and excitement.
"The Lord of the Western Land is going to attend!" Noki giggled her face anticipation. Rin on the other hand, her face went from excited to 'how lame' expression.
"Rin," Noki poked her shoulder, "The Lord of the Western Lands is supposed to be the most attractive being alive, not to mention the most deadly." Rin stilled remained impassive as Noki's face scowled at her, "Rin, he's your own kind! You should be excited! You've never seen a full male inuyoukai!"
While Noki spoke she seemed to be looking into outer space. Her sea green eyes glazed over, as her face perked with a smile. 'Geez is that all she thinks about…hot guy this, hot guy that,' Rin glared turning toward the stone path that led to the palace mahogany doors, leaving a cat demon to her day dream.
"See you at the celebration tonight Noki."
"Yeah…see you there…" Noki mumbled still in her own world.
Rin's Room
"Hmm…what to wear?" Rin pondered.
Tapping a finger on her chin, she eyed over the beautiful kimonos and dresses. Rin was never picky nor greedy. She appreciated everything she received, right down to the simple hair ornaments. This is what made Rin glow with inner beauty as well as her outer.
But she needed something for tonight that would flow with her body. Chewing her bottom lip, Rin giggled. She was part of the entertainment after all. Sighing with frustration, she closed her golden orbs and pointed a finger in the direction of the clothes.
"Okay. Whatever I point at," Rin giggled, "is what I'll wear."
Slowly motioning her finger back and forth, stopping suddenly. Opening her eyes, she gleamed at what she pointed to. It was totally...interesting.
"Oh my goodness," Rin covered her mouth, trying to muffle the load laugh, "This will knock'em dead."
Greeting the Lord's
"Oh gods…" Noki sighed, "If I have to greet another pretty boy Lord, I'm going to…Lord Mokkutsu, welcome to the Eastern Lands."
Noki bowed low with the utmost respect, even if she was sick of bowing to these way-over zealous lords and generals, she did it regardless.
Lord Mokkutsu was the real ladies man, but he only wanted one. Not saying he wouldn't pass the chance to sleep with any other women either.
"Noki, you're looking lovely as ever." Lord Mokkutsu ever so sweetly replied.
It was well known about the little war between Lord Hitoshi and Lord Mokkutsu over Noki. It was quite the sight to see those two Lord's trying to woe Noki at every chance.
"You as well Lord Mokkutsu," Noki retorted dryly, rising from her bow.
Lord Mokkutsu only bowed to her and left with a smile upon his handsome face. Noki only glared at his retreating back with dull humor. He was very attractive with his long black hair and light blue eyes. He was at least six foot two and was very built, but nonetheless, he was still an ass.
Coming up behind Noki, Rin sighed, "That was Lord Mokkutsu?"
Noki just shrugged.
"He's not as cute as Lord Hitoshi." Rin snickered while eyeing Noki with a small smirk.
"Stop picking on me," Noki pouted, crossing her arms.
Giggling, Rin hugged Noki. Knowing this always made her touchy, but it was so obvious that Noki had affections toward Lord Hitoshi.
"I'm sorry, I only pick on you because I love you." Rin bubbled out.
"Whatever, I forgive you." Noki hugged Rin back. Both girls laughing and instantly chattering about gods know what.
Two hours later
The sky began to light up with stars as a full moon raised high in seeming pride. The lords of the four lands had all attended, but one, the Lord of the Western Lands. Rin and Noki were both collapsed on the ground.
"I'm all bowed out." Rin mumbled, both turning to look at each other, bursting out laughing.
Sighing Rin climbed back to her feet, "Well, Noki you can go. I'll stay here alittle longer."
"Are you sure…I mean I can stay with you, if you like." Stretching her arms over her head.
"No that's okay. Thanks though." Rin smiled.
"Alright I'm off." Noki hopped up and headed into the castle.
Watching Noki leave, Rin sighed. 'I really wish I could slap that stupid Lord of the Western Lands….'
Leaning up against the wall, Rin waited. Listening to the sound of the night, while staring across the moonlight ground, letting a cruel smile sweep across her face, 'Here I am…waiting for some stupid guy and with no one to talk to.'
Taking a deep breath, smelling the sweet scent of the flowers and forest flow into her nose, and then sneezing, 'Wow…what a romantic scene crusher.' Playing with the tie to her robe she wore over her true clothing, Rin sighed out loud.
Suddenly Rin stood straight. She could hear footsteps. Turning her head toward the footsteps, she peered into the darkness closely. A tall figure formed in the dark coming toward her in a confident stride from the forest.
The intruder finally strode into the moonlit path toward the castle. Rin's eyes widen. He was drop dead handsome. Silver hair glowed in the under the blue light of the moon as the tresses wisped slight from the breeze. This couldn't be the Lord of the Western Lands. Rin had only met his younger brother's family, Inuyasha and Kagome. Rin was considered family to them, but in all her life she never met Lord of the Western Lands.
Anxiety rolled into the pit of her stomach. She had never truly met her own kind either!
As he approached her, Rin only gave a simple bow waiting for him to keep treading in his set path, but he halted at her bow. Rising, her eyes scanned over his fine boots, white puffed pants, long sharp claws, swords, large armor, broad chest, his strong neck, jawline, perfect lips and stripes, then her seeking eyes locked with gold.
