HEY FOLKS!
Nice to meet you, im noxspeakxamericano (im sure you've all heard that song... PAPA AMERICANOO! xD) and this is my first offical publishing of my fan fiction! I was just reading loads of Kag/Sessh fan fictions (LOVELY AND WONDERFUL, im so bad at names but if I ever remeber the titles I'm more than likely going to recommend!) I recently discovered that I absolutely ADORE this pairing.
-keh, Inuyasha can keep walking around with his clay pot of a girlfriend-
!
Sorry thats my other side... I cant always be nice you know ;D
Well this author's note is long enough, but im just so excited! -Yeah, excited... you're such a kid...- SHUT UP! IM TALKING!
GEEZ!
Annnywayys hope you guys like it. I will have a hard time updating, since im already in 11 grade and with the university applications but I swear I will try my best... i already did 2 chapters so that I can rest a bit (whew that was some hard work there ;D)
Well Ill just do the standard disclaimer, that I've seen everyone do ;P (YAY MY FIRST DISCLAIMER! -*cough cough*-) Here I go:
No, I unfortunately do NOT own Inuyasha -if we did, noxspeakxamericano would've bought herself at least 6 laptops and a gold mansion, while I would have dominated the world by now, muahahahahaa...- Are you done? -yeah, yeah whateverrr...-
*whew, now no lawyer will be able to sue me right? (I am reaaaally scared of those people) -OH JUST GET ON WITH IT!-
Enjoy!
Chapter 1:
Kagome sighed as she made her way to the banquet hall. She hated these tediously BORING events, where she had to act all high and mighty and polite. She hated the tedious babble of court Ladies and Lords alike, she hated the fancy garb she was forced to wear, she hated their attitude, she hated their backstabbing antics. But what she hated more than anything was the atmosphere in presence of mighty youkai lords.
She had no problem with youkai, god, she even admired them. She had an adoptive little brother Kitsune demon called Shippo she simply adored. She giggled as she imagined his furry squirrel tail, waving happily at her sight. She had befriended many other small demons in her many quests for adventure. Hell, she had protected them from her little Sister Sango, who just loved to hunt anything with her Hiraikotsu down, be it human or demon (of course she wouldnt kill it). She simply did not understand where this raw and wild hatred came from.
She did hate the condescending manner of the higher youkai lords however. All with the 'holier than thou' crap acting so high and mighty. She could not stand that behaviour, it made her blood boil and her hands would twitch uncontrollably. She imagined a silhoutte clad in white. The very embodiment of pride and snobyness in person. She imagined those gold eyes, cold and calculating, calm and composed, ready to snap like a snake at its prey.
She had secretly watched him, of course careful enough to mask her aura and scent, so that not even that mightily wonderful and annoying prideful demon Lord would not notice her meager presence.
"Im such a stalker" she sighed.
She remembered to take a few deep breaths and summoned her holy miko powers to create the illusion of Prince Ryu her 'other self'.
She had been cursed with the fact that her father had died at a very young age, leaving her mother and herself unprotected to the other ruthless and extremely vicious royal families. Lady Sakura however was no pushover, deciding to sacrifice her daughters integrity, desguising her true gender, concealing her as a male so that she would be able to take over the throne at 18. She had undertaken rigurous training in diplomacy, politics, archery, sword play, manners, dancing, music. She had gone through it all, believing in changing the world to create a better understanding for human, youkai relationship. And so far she had miserably failed...
WHY WERE THEY ALL SO FREAKING STUBBORN?
She cast a masking emotion and scent barrier, knowing the youkai would be able to read any inner turmoil she had going on within her aura. She plastered a polite and fake smile and nodded at the court announcer.
"Lord Ryu Higurashi, Prince of the Northern Lands, entering" belted the nasal voice as she gracefully, yet of course manly, swept down the stairs, smiling coldly at human and youkai alike. She had to keep the strong and collected royal manner. The Northern Lands' honour depended on it.
With a sigh of relief, she relaxed the stiff set of her shoulders as she finished the prince's due customary graces. She glanced momentarily around, feeling lazy enough to unleash a spark of power to locate her friends presence.
Lord Sesshomaru twitched feeling a slight ebb of holy power flow through his bones. He briskly looked around the room. He scoffed at the sight of his half brother, huddled with some puny human houshi and a female tayja.
"Hn, the nerve of that Half-Breed..."
Kagome chuckled as she saw Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha huddled in a corner. Pretending to near the buffet table, she made a quick escape to the safe haven of her friends, leaving her mother, Lady Sakura, in charge of the remaining formalities. This earned her a pout and frown from her mother's side, though the queen mother accepted the responsibility with a resined sigh.
"BOOYAH!" she thought to herself as she realised she had, yet again escaped her royal duties
"Hey there Ka-" Miroku clamped Inuyasha's mouth shut as he was about to reveal her actual female name.
With a mocking bow, Miroku conitinued: " I am extremely flattered by your presence Lord Ryu, please take a seat and indulge us with your company" he winked, then seated himself next to her sister Sango, fondling her behind subtly.
Sango in exchange, fired a not so subtle irritated glance at Miroku, pinching him in the underam. She giggled slightly at the jolt of pain and shock he answered her gesture with. Sighing contently she directed her attention to her older sister.
"How are you enjoying yourself, Ryu? You look extremely dashing my brother!" She smiled knowingly at her sister. "I appreciate your compliment dear sister, but I assure you I cannot be compared to your-"
CRASH!
The entire hall fell silent as they watched a Hanyou maid clean up the tray of caviar biscuits she had let fall. Her cheeks reddened, embarassed at the unwanted attention she received. Both human and youkai glances were taunting and mocking, silently insulting the poor maid.
Ha, half demon, those evil, filthy creatures the humans seemed to be thinking.
- Hmpf, Half human, puny and birdbrained cattle- the youkais scoffed inwardly.
Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands was no exception to this reaction, she realised.
Kagome's attention was however claimed by a lesser Lord, sneering condescendingly at the maid.
"Incompetent wench, I was just about to grab this intensly disgusting human appetizer out of politeness and you DARE let it drop before this mighty Lord." He sneered. "Half Human was, is and never will be ANY good I assure you. Humans just deserve to be eaten or used as slaves!" He stared at Kagome (aka Ryu) pointedly. "Humans will never know their place. Us Youkais are too powerful for those pu-"
He inhaled briefly in shock as he felt a stern and extremely keen for bloodshed hand holding a dagger in the hollow of his throat.
Kagome could not watch nor tolerate any more of the humiliation and critique this snob was directing at her race. Even worse, she could not stand the tears that had appeared in Shiori's eyes as he continued to humiliate her. Shiori, was such a sweet, innocent girl, she could not even kill a flea if she wanted to!
Her eyes narrowed dangerously and she allowed her miko purifying powers to surge through the dagger. The Lord gulped, while all youkai pulled back, tense and intimidated. All except one annoying silhouette clad in white...
"I assure you, dear Lord Bankotsu, I will not tolerate any acts of disrespect to any person in my service. An offence to the service is a direct offence to the royal family... " She smirked blood thirstily, satisfied as she sensed utter fear in the aura of the poor Lord. "Now My lord, I am most displeased about your offence... I shall not tolerate this in any manner, not privately, not publiclly" She thought about her actions. This was not in her character but a bit of fear had always helped a creatures learning instincts up and running. What would she do to set example?
