Summary: What happens when a cat hanyou is sent to the Feudal Ages and meets up with Inu Yasha's older brother? Is there something special about
this girl?
Chapter One: Family Trouble, and the Red Mirror
I woke up at five, which was late for me. The dark room seemed so light to me as my cat eyes absorbed and used the light of my geckos heat lamp. I could feel the lamps heat on my lightly furred limps as I stretched, arching my back just like a cats until I heard a popping sound. Dropping down to sit upon my knees I looked towards the tv and turned it on the lowest volume setting. I curled up on my long body pillow to watch the boring early shows I had seen nearly fifty times before by now. I glanced down and stared at my fingers in boredom, without a sound I unsheathed ten equally sharp claws, sinking them into the soft fabric of my pillow then drawing them back in at the very light padding sounds of my mothers footsteps as she walked about her room.
I climbed out of my bed and began to change from my pajamas. By the time the sound of my mothers footsteps reached the base of the staircase that led to the upstairs I had on a pair of jeans, pulling a black shirt over my head. Mother opened the door right as I had finished brushing out my fizzy hair, she smiled at me as usual. I returned the smile, just then her eyes fellow down to my right hip, her smile became a furious frown. My eyes widened at her sudden rage and dropped down to gaze at a six foot long monster right by the hip Mother was staring at.
Wait it wasn't a mosnter, it was a tail, I had my own tail! For a moment I forgot my mothers anger entirely, A tail, I had a tail, my own fuzzy lovable.... "-Hey!", I shrieked as my mother latched onto my new appendage, yanking away crazily as if she'd gone entirely mad. I started to scream in pain and shock, Mother wouldn't release it. My fluffy tail was being mutilated by my mothers hands!
Finally she gave up on attempting to rip Fluffy from me. Beginning to cry as she fell onto the floor heavily, looking like an upset toddler. A brick wall of communication crumbled away and she began to talk in her suddenly emotional distress. "I know I shouldn't have married that man-", My Father?! She'd never spoken to me about Father, never even mentioned him, "-he was just so wise and understanding, handsome too, never thought twive about marrying him at all when he proposed....." Her nose wrinkled and she nearly hissed out, "Then I saw that wretched tail, and those...cat ears. Feline eyes locked on me like a dangerous beast. I'd married a monster!"
She reached out as if to stroke my tail, but unknowingly I drew it away from her seeking hands. All of the sudden I understood why I had such good eyes, sharp hearing, claws, and Fluffy, my new tail, My father was a cat? Wait maybe I didn't fully understand yet. I began to throw questions at her, "How could you never tell my about something like that?!" Mother struggled to reply, manadging to imterrupt me before I went on a rampage. "I wanted you to be normal! If you didn't know about your father I thought you'd never gain his....abnormalitys, Mutations."
I narrowed my eyes and threw my hands infront of her face, my claws sprang out. "Mother this isn't normal!" Mother gasped and stared at my claws, "No!......It can't be! You can't be a mutant, not my daughter." I shook my head and resheathed my claws, "Mutants can't be made by being sired or birthed by one mom, my..... they have to be from something else-" "What el-" "Mom! What is I'm another species all together?!" I sounded excited, and I was, but Mother looked horrified. "No! I won't allow such nonsense, you must... get ready for, and go to school. Get moving!"
She kissed my forehead as if nothing was wrong and then rushed out. I stared after her, and for the first time began to feel hate for her. How dare she hide the truth from me. I had to learn more...., but I had school to go to. I shook my head and began to pack my backpack, instead of textbooks, I put in snacky foots and clothing. Mother would get to worry about me I had decided, she'd spill more stuff about her past if worried. Packing a few blankets, a flashlight, and a few other items I headed out, pretending I was headed for school as I passed mother, but instead I turned towards the park.
I headed straight for the baseball field and crawled my way into a hole under the Away Team's dugout benchs. Nobody put I knew about the hole, but even I had never gotten the chance to explore it yet. Flicking on my flashlight on low so I could see around with my sharp cat eyes. I shoved a piece of cardboard over the hole I had gone through so no one could see the flashlight's bright glow. "Whoa", I said in an admiring whisper, the cave was a large room, about hte size of a nice living room. Pushing my backpacks strap up higher on my shoulder I started to walk along the wall. I found a dry spot on the wall and was about to lean onto it when my flashlights beam caught a glowing red wall across from me.
My eyes widened and I walked straight towards it in interest. The red was shaped like an oval and looked smooth as glass, completely different from the rest of the cave's walls. I reached forward to touch it, instead of feeling a solid mirror like object my hand went right through, I drew back my hand swiftly and glared at it. Finally reaching out again, I pushed my hand about the silky feeling substance. Curiousity overtook me and I walked right into it, slipping through the wall like passing through a doorway covered with silk hangings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I emerged into a dark room, my eyes focused more to give my a clear view. I was in a bedroom, and it was huge. Looking around I stopped stock still at the sound of a very light snore. My eyes flew to a large form under the overs on the old styled bed. The figure stirred as if feeling my gaze and it sat up. I froze like a deer in headlights as two inhuman golden eyes locked right on mine.
They narrowed and suddenly the man they belonged to wasn't in that bed anymore, he was right infront of me. His hand closed about my throat and I was lifted a near foot upwards to be steadied to look at him face to face, now I was interested in his golden eyes, I was terrified by them as they locked deep onto mine like staring at a picture. My feet were off the ground and I was panicing. My tail flailing around a bit as if trying to balance myself before I manedged to control it, making it be a ladder under me so I wasn't standing on thin air.
"Where did you come from?", he snarled in a controlled tone that made my skin ripple in a wave, goosebumps growing on my arms. I choked down my fear and tried to reply, making only a few gasping noises at first, but then finally, "I don't know, I just walked through this red stuff and appeared here." He growled and glanced behind him at a smooth red mirror. Shaking at the feeling of his claws on my skin, my tail swung at him on its own will. Instead of hitting flesh it hit something softed then I expected his leg to be.
Looking downwards half in curiousity, and half in wanting to avoid his gaze, I gulped, sighting a silky white tail wrapped about my own, which was nearly as white as his. My tail flailed back and forth trying to free itself, but his hold was way too strong. I felt more panic building up in my stomach, and I fell limp as possible, knowing better then to fight to the point of exaustion, I would try to escape later. Even my tail got the message and went limp.
He seemed to feel better after my admitting defeat, he set my onto the ground, his tail still coiled about mine tightly. "You came through the mirror?", he questioned testily. I nodded in reply, my chin knocking into the knuckles of the hand still about my throat two times before he released me. I began to take in breath after heavenly breath as he stared at me in thought. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know it's not really long as I hoped to make it. But this is the first chapter. Please Review. Flames welcome. I need some ideas on the next chapter, and something I should change in this one. And of course I'd love compliments as well. Compliments are what keeps me going.
Question: Should I change this into third person?
