"What's your name?" a young girl asked
"Sesshomaru" The young demon child shyly replied
"My name is Takara"
"What a stupid name"
"Like Sesshomaru is any better!"
"How dare you yell at me, don't you know I could kill you"
"You can't kill me, I'm a priestess don't you know"
"You're only a child"
"So are you"
"I'm not a child! I'm a strong demon" He said turning his back
The girl suddenly started laughing causing Sesshomaru to look over at her confused and annoyed.
"What is so funny?"
"You are" she laughed "I'm not a child, I'm a demon"
"Foolish human" Sesshomaru grinned watching her impersonate him
"Lets be friends"
"Friends?"
"Don't you know what friends are?"
"Of course I do!" he turned his back once more "I have just never had one before… mother says friends are for the weak"
"That's not true, friends make you stronger"
"That's not what mother tells me"
"My mother says I should never talk to a demon but here I am talking to you"
"Won't she be angry with you?"
"Well… maybe… but we can be secret friends" she smiled friendly
"Secret friends…"
"Takara… Takara wake up"
"What is it Hana?" I yawned
"Lady Rikana has requested your assistance"
"Alright, I will be there soon"
I watched Hana leave my room and close the door before I pushed the heavy silk blankets to the side; I stood on the cold marble floor stretching my arms above my head the straightening out my night robe. I then walked over to the large window and looked outside, the sun was rising in the distance and the darkness of night was still hanging in the air. It wasn't unusual for Lady Rikana to summon me this early; in fact many times she had summoned me before I have even had a chance to rest so days like this were pleasant enough.
"What a strange dream" I thought looking out into the distance "I haven't thought or dreamt about him in over 150 years"
The knock at my door brought me out of my day dream and back to reality.
"Just a minute" I shouted out
I moved over to my cupboard and pulled out a dress, the top half was white with long sleeves while the bottom part was a gentle blue reaching just past my knees. Moving over to the wall length mirror I straightened out the crease in my clothes then with my hands I brushed my short silver hair while tying the longer front parts into plaits using a blue ribbon. Once I was finished with my hair I went over to my bedroom door pulling on the silver handles to open them just enough for me to pass thought then quietly closed the door behind me.
"You look nice today"
"Thankyou Hana" I replied as I started my way down the hall "do you know why she needs me?"
"No, she only said to bring you straight to her"
"I wonder what it could be"
We continued to walk until we came to the golden doors the led to the throne room; I thanked Hana then knocked on the giant door.
"Come in" a great voice called out
I opened the door and saw Lady Rikana standing near one of the open windows looking out; her silver hair was tied in the usual long pig tails with a small part of her hair left out on either side reaching just past her shoulders. Lady Rikana turned once I closed the door behind me; I quickly bowed my head and waited.
"Rise Takara"
I rose and saw that Lady Rikana was now standing in front of me only a few feet away, she was wearing her normal purple and white kimono with a blue one that went around her arm with some fluff covering around the top and bottom, there was the same familiar purple crescent moon on her forehead and the purple lighting shaped strike on each side of her face just below her golden eyes. I couldn't help but gaze at the crescent moon for a while thinking about my dream, it wasn't until Lady Rikana started to talk did I snap out of my daze.
"I need you to find someone and bring them to me"
"Of course milady, who is it you wish me to find?"
"My son, I am sure you have heard of him"
"He is the lord of the western lands"
"Yes, I need you to bring him here"
"I will set out right away" I bowed then started to walk towards the door
"Sesshomaru may need some… persuasion to come here, don't be afraid to go all out" she said as I had my hand on the door handle
I nodded my head slightly then slipped out of the room into the empty hall, I walked down the hall until I came to the end then I turned right and continued to walk until I came to a wooden door. I went through the door and out into the garden, following the white pavement I came to a cherry blossom tree that was blooming with hundreds of beautiful flowers. I reached up and picked a petal off one of the flowers and held it gently in my hand.
"I wonder if he will even recognize me… it's been so long"
With the petal in my hand I walked over to the edge of the garden, I climbed onto the railing and stood there looking out at the forest below me.
"If he is the western lord then he should be in the western lands somewhere"
With that I jumped of off the railing and feel down to the ground below me, before I hit the ground I threw the petal below me and whispered a spell. The petal grew and grew until it was large enough for me to sit on; I landed on the soft petal then flew off towards the western lands to find Sesshomaru.
