Hey everyone! Here's another one I started, enjoy this story! It's pretty late at night so I'm sorry for any mistakes. If you have any comments, suggestions, or tips feel free to review~
Sesshomaru was walking through the woods away from Rin and Jaken on one of their travels. 'If I have to hear Jaken's voice any longer I'll rip his throat out.' Sesshomaru thought, he often had things to check up on, things to do or sometimes he just needed some air. While Sesshomaru was walking it started to rain, they were not far from his castle in the West that was passed down to him from him mother.
Just as Sesshomaru turned around to start walking back to the group he felt something very strong behind him, so he turned around to check and in just a flash a white figured person with wings came crashing down from the sky at full speed and hit the ground at full impact creating a loud explosion sound along with a huge crater in the ground where the person fell. Sesshomaru was quite curious, 'Who could have fell that hard from the sky? Just how high up did they fall from?' He walked over and found a girl on her back in a light white dress and huge white feathered wings at the bottom of the crater.
The girl in white was now all dirty and was unconscious on the ground. Whatever happened, Sesshomaru didn't want to be a part of, so he turned around to go back to the idiot and Rin. But when he reached the forest line he heard something and so he turned around again. The girl slowly got up and wobbled her way towards him. She was so weak her huge wings dragged against the cold, wet ground as she tried to follow the strange man before her. Before she got to close Sesshomaru stopped to face her and said "I don't know who you are, but you don't belong here."
She kept staggering forward trying to get closer, "Such cold eyes Sesshomaru…" and with that last smile and sentence she collapsed and went unconscious. Sesshomaru just stared at her body lying on the ground trying to remember if he had ever met someone like that, 'no of course I haven't met her before, who could forget someone like that? And why was she smiling?' Sesshomaru thought to himself, still standing in the middle of the field in the pouring rain. 'I will find out how she came to know my name, and then I will send her on her way. I have better things to do.'
He went over to her and picked her up in his arms, as he walked her large white wings were almost touching the ground. As he walked he analyzed her, she had long white hair that could reach her back, and she had side bangs, her skin was white as snow. Before he could think anymore they got to where Jaken, Rin and Ah-Un slept and he laid her down on the ground and he decided he would stay up and watch over things, he wouldn't allow a stranger this close to Rin as she was sleeping.
The sun slowly rose and so did everyone else accept the strange girl in white, she remained peacefully asleep. Rin slowly rose and saw Lord Sesshomaru, "Lord Sesshomaru I'm so glad your back! I missed yo-…My Lord, who is that pretty lady with wings?" Rin pointed as she questioned her lord's motives. She decided to slowly walk over to the strange girl for a closer look but Sesshomaru put out his arm blocking the way giving her a warning glance. Rin sighed and nodded, she understood the message.
"Jaken, take Rin and help find her breakfast. If anything happens to her, I'll kill you." He said in his regular cold tone. "Yes my Lord! Anything for my Lord!" Jaken bowed and turned around walking towards the woods with Rin, feeling like a vein would explode, and he hated watching Rin. As they walked away and he stopped hearing Rin's loud voice and giggling, his glance shifted to the mysterious girl still sleeping soundly.
Her body was still all cut up and bruised, but who wouldn't be from that fall? As he watched her trying to figure her out her eyes slowly opened and her light purple eyes were shown. She blinked a few times and with her eyes half open then she struggled to lift herself into a sitting position to look around. Her head went side to side and finally up, to where she spotted the mysterious demon named Sesshomaru.
They stared at each other for a moment, then finally she said "Uhm…where am I and why does my body hurt? And why are you here too Sesshomaru?" "You fell out of the sky. And we're in the territory of the Western Lands." He replied. "oh… my wings are so sore! I feel like I was flying forever…" The girl groaned then laid back down putting the back of her hand on her forehead.
"What's your name and how do you know my name? I never met you before." Sesshomaru asked. "My name is… uh…actually, I don't remember. Now that I think about it I don't remember anything! The only thing I remember is a name and a face. And that name is yours! For some reason I remember you, but for some reason, I don't even remember myself…weird huh?" The girl smiled towards him not knowing any hint of fear or sadness.
"Why are you not afraid?" Sesshomaru wondered, basically everyone he ever met was afraid of him, even though he too, never met them. "How should I know? You don't seem scary to me, besides when your nearby I feel at ease and unafraid of anything!" She just laughed. 'Whets with this girl? Is she stupid? Anyone in the right mind would be afraid.' He thought to himself still staring down at the weird being below him.
All of a sudden she heard the bushes moving and she quickly found herself afraid of what lurked behind them. She quickly stood up and backed up and hid behind the closest tree. Sesshomaru already knew who it was so he remained calm and collected and thought he would see how she would react. A weird small green thing in brown clothes and a staff and a little girl in orange and black hair emerged from the bushes.
As Rin finished laughing she asked Lord Sesshomaru "My Lord, where's the Tenshi lady?" "What makes you say that? There's no such thing." Sesshomaru was a bit surprised by Rin's comment. "Well, she looks like one! I heard people talk about them sometimes in my old village." Rin replied while looking around. "What are you talking about Rin?! Stop being foolish!" Jaken shouted towards Rin.
The girl looked out from behind the trees to get a better look when the toad looking thing spotted her with his big eyes. "Hey! Who are you and why are you here! A pathetic being as yourself shouldn't be around here, or in Lord Sesshomaru's lands!" Jaken yelled at her while walking towards her. Starting to panic she came out from the tree's and stood right in front of Jaken. She spread out her wings as wide as she could, to try to appear much larger than the tiny ugly thing yelling at her.
Each wing when it was spread out was about a meter and a half long and it cast a large shadow over Jaken. "Stay away from me! You have no authority here; Sesshomaru is a Lord so he calls the shots, not you." She used her wings and flapped them hard a few times making lots of wind until Jaken fell over and rolled farther back. She slowly lowered her wings and watched as the little girl ran towards her.
"Wow your wings are amazing! They're so huge!" Rin said with a huge smile on her face. "Oh uhm, thank you. What's your name?" The girl asked. "My name is Rin! The demon you just kind of blew away is Master Jaken." Rin introduced herself and Jaken. "Oh well then, would you like to touch my wings?" She asked as she smiled. Rin just nodded with a happy smile on her face, she went over and felt the feathers on the pretty girl's wings. "They're so soft!" She commented as she stopped stroking her wings.
The girl just smiled but something caught her eye she didn't notice before, there was a dragon creature nearby! "Woooow! How pretty! I never have seen one! What's his name Sess- I mean, Lord Sesshomaru?" She asked while petting the dragon creature with two heads. "Ah-Un" he replied. "Ohhh Okay! Hi Ah-Un! So now I know all of your names!" She smiled. "But Tenshi, what's your name?" Rin asked, "I don't remember." "Should we call you Tenshi then?" Rin asked starting to get excited. "How about… Shi Shi, that way it's not too hard to say?" She suggested. "Okay Shi Shi! Hey did you know that if you meet a Tenshi people say you're supposed to be really lucky!" Rin smiled and laughed as she skipped away with her arms out. 'Lucky huh?' Shi Shi and Sesshomaru thought.
"Rin, Jaken we're leaving." Sesshomaru notified them as he was walking away. He looked at Shi Shi and suggests "If you're still tired you can sit on Ah-Un's back, we're not too far a walk from the castle." Shi Shi's mouth opened wide with surprise while getting the on back of Ah-Un. "A Castle!? Woooow! I never saw one!" She explained finally getting comfy on Ah-Un and he started to walk forward as Rin held the rein up ahead. Jaken walked behind Ah-Un and listened to Rin talk about the castle and the land as he corrected her facts every now and then.
Finally they could see the Castle up ahead. Shi Shi got off and walked behind Sesshomaru while Rin took Ah-Un around back to the field with the pond. Shi Shi walked up the stairs to the entrance behind Sesshomaru while looking around seeing all the guards eyes were on her. They proceeded to walk inside and eventually Sesshomaru stopped to talk to a servant girl. You could see her nodding, and replying to his request. The servant walked up to Shi Shi and said "Hello My Lady, I'm to show you to your room and to the baths, so please follow me." She offered out her hand, Shi Shi felt hesitant, 'Can I trust this girl?' She thought, she glanced over at Sesshomaru and he gave a nod in reassurance.
Shi Shi nodded back and took the servant girls hand and let her walk her to her new room. Sesshomaru walked off and decided to let the girls do their thing while he caught up on paper work. Shi Shi got shown to her room then to the bathing room. "You should get washed up before dinner, and also I'll be taking your dress and washing it for you. Don't worry it will be done being cleaned by the time you finish your bath." The servant smiled reassuringly. "Uh...okay I guess. But I'll need it right back, and please be careful with it! It's designed a way for it to fit the needs of my wings." Shi Shi worriedly explained.
Her dress wasn't like a kimono; it was made of a stretchy type of material that fit her curves well. The back was exposed and it came up in the front and tied around the back of her neck. So she didn't need to pull it over, she just needed to untie the knot on the back so it didn't bother her wings if she spread them out or not. It also wasn't bevy so it was easy to fly, and it was made with a special material from where she came from that had special properties. The servant girl waited behind the door as Shi Shi got undressed and opened the door a crack giving the servant her dress. After that she closed the door and slowly made her way to the stairs leading to the tub of hot water.
She made it way up and dipped her toes in to feel it. She slowly walked into the water and went in shoulder deep and began rubbing the dirt off her body revealing the bruises and cuts, and then starting rubbing the dirt off her wings. She dipped her head in cleaning all the dirt off her white hair then she just sat in and relaxed while spreading out her wings. Soon enough the servant knocked and opened the door and placed her dress on the table near the door. "Here are your clothes My Lady. If you need anything just ask around, you can call me Mizuki." She smiled and closed the door leaving down the hallway.
Shi Shi climbed out of the bathtub and dried off with a small cloth left for her, and then she put her dress back on. Her wings were still wet so she decided to dry them faster outside. Shi Shi walked around until she found an exit. There was a field with a pond and nice green grass. Ah-Un was near the pond so she decided to keep her distance so she wouldn't get him wet. She took a deep breath and looked around admiring the beauty of this field. It was secluded, there was bright green grass and a pond, and a bit farther out there was a tree line. She walked out barefoot and she quickly spread out her wings as far as they would reach.
Just so happens Sesshomaru was walking by to go to the dining room where dinner should be served when he saw someone out by the field where no one usually goes, he stepped in the door way and decided to see who was there. What he saw really did, look like an angel. Mesmerized by such as sight he couldn't help but stare as the girl in white as she flapped her strong wings a few times and lifted herself off the ground a bit, but also in doing so, she shook off most of the water.
She landed back down and lowered her wings but also putting them slightly in front of her so she could rub them. "Ow ow oww…" She whined. "Do they still hurt?" Sesshomaru asked. She quickly turned around and said in a relieved tone "Oh my! You scared me, how long were you there anyway? And yeah, I guess they do still hurt, I shouldn't fly for a while…I fell from the sky apparently so I suppose it's normal for them to hurt. I'm surprised I didn't get more damage." She laughed it off while rubbing her head and lowering her wings all the way down to behind her back where her wings almost touch the ground.
"Dinner is in the dining hall, hurry up." He said while turning and walking down the hallway. "Hey wait!" Shi Shi cried out as she ran to catch up. She was humming and smiling as they walked down the hallway towards the dining room. Once they got there the table was huge! "Uhm…Lord Sesshomaru, where should I sit?" She shyly asked. "I don't care." He replied while going to his usual seat at the end of the table. Shi Shi took a seat beside Sesshomaru and looked at him only to find him glaring at her. "Whaaaat? You said yourself you don't care where I sit." She shrugged while explaining.
Before he got to say anything Rin happily sat beside her and started asking her how she liked it here in the castle. Sesshomaru tried to look elsewhere but found her himself glancing to the mysterious girl. She was dirty before, but once all the dirt was off she seemed different. 'It looks like she's glowing.' He thought, since all she wore was white all the light reflected off her making it seem like she's really bright.
Finally the servants came from the kitchen and starting laying out the meals on the table. Sesshomaru was eating calmly and couldn't help but be surprised at how happy Shi Shi was while eating her food. Shi Shi noticed this and toned it down a bit, and decided to explain herself. "Sorry you guys, this is probably the happiest day of my life! I'm really glad I met all of you today, it's truly wonderful." She smiled admiringly and continued eating.
Even Rin was surprised, but then quickly agreed. "The day I met Lord Sesshomaru was the best day of my life too!" They both smiled and laughed with each other. Sesshomaru couldn't understand one bit. 'I'm one of the most feared and strongest in all the lands, I've been called killer, murderer, heartless, cruel, many things. I've killed many people and as they screamed and begged for their lives to be spared as I cut them down with not even a hint of hesitation, regret or worry. So why…?'
Sesshomaru was beyond confused, but decided it wasn't any of his concern. He finished his meal and went back to his study to finish paperwork. Everyone else at the table decided to disperse and do their own thing. It was getting late so everyone decided to go to their rooms and retire for the night. Shi Shi was unusually tired and went to her bed chambers early. When she went in she decided to look around better. The place she was staying had a regular sized bed; everything was a white color or light blue. The curtains hung plainly down and were also light blue. The room also had a matching end table. The room was extremely simple looking, meant for temporary stay. 'Better than nothing I guess...' She thought as she got changed into the nightgown laid out for her.
The night gown was white but also had the slightest shade of pink to it. It has ruffles on the ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the dress. It was designed very similarly to her everyday where, she smiled by the consideration and kindness of the servants at the castle and needed to personally thank them later. Once she was dressed she opened the covers and carefully went in and closed her eyes slowly falling asleep. Rin and Jaken and just about everyone was asleep in the Castle except for a certain demon finishing up on his paper work in his study.
It was in the middle of the night when he decided to finally go to his own room and go to sleep; he needed to think things over for tomorrow. he was walking down the dimly lit hallway and finally reached his room. When he opened the door he found someone already in his room. He closed the door and looked closely, Shi Shi was loosely standing right in front of his bed staring towards it, her wings were down and so was her head. When the door shut her head slowly turned towards him and then her eyes flashed open. He wasn't quite sure why she was in her room or how she ended up there. But something felt different, or...wrong.
