Sooooo here it is! I don't wanna tell too much because everything will be explained in the story and hopefully it'll surprise you! Btw this time period isn't as far back as the feudal era exactly but it is before cell phones and machines. So I think somewhere in the 1700?
"This place is huge." Kagome muttered to herself. The girl who was helping her move, Sango, laughed.
"Yes it is, not all of the buildings are like this though, this is just the one for more... skilled students" she said. Kagame assumed she meant the students that were higher class.
"I feel like that's a bit unfair. Making the students that may not be as high class as other train in smaller buildings." Kagame said with a small frown. She guessed it was in her nature, to always feel compassionate and attempt to feel what others felt. She touched the glass locket around her neck. Sango shrugged.
"If it helps, the royal families all paid to have their own building built, initially it was going to be the same size as the others." Kagame didn't think that helped much but she nodded anyway. They continued down the path until they stopped at beautiful small little castle. Kagame gave a small gasp as she took it in, it was about as tall as three staircases. All of it white except for the dome like roof which was a dark navy blue. A small porch was outside, with marble stairs leading up to the small house.
"Oh my gosh, it's beautiful!" Kagame exclaimed, Sango gave a smile.
"Good to know you like it, they asked me to help pick out a place a Miko would enjoy and I thought you'd like this. Nobody's ever seen the Miko's kingdom so we thought maybe you'd like this at least?" Kagame grinned and leaned over to give the girl a hug.
"Of course, it's wonderful." She told her, giving her one of her happy smiles. Sango looked relieved and Kagame held back a small laugh.
"So what are you?" Kagame asked, Sango looked at her confused and Kagame decided to backtrack, her comment did seem a little on the rude side.
"What I mean is what type of family do you come from? you do train in this building correct?" Kagame asked. Oh gosh, if she doesn't I'm going to feel like a complete idiot. Kagame took a split second and prayed that she did an she hadn't offended the girl. She seemed really nice and Kagame would love to get to know her better and become friends.
"Yes," Sango said, laughing. "Well technically, I come from the demon slayer family. So we aren't exactly royalty but we're pretty close." Demon slayers were hired by everyone, royalty and non royalty. Although each royal member normally had a few demon slayer that worked for them full time. Except for the Miko's of course, since they kind of knew how to take on demons by themselves.
"I see," Kagame told her. "But question." Sango tilted her head."I am allowed to have my mink, right? I don't want to bring him in if i would violate any rules." Kagame said. She was fairly sure they would allow her to keep Snowball, but she wanted to check anyway.
"Oh yeah, definitely." Tango told her. Kagome grinned and called for her little friend.
"Snowball, come here." She said, she didn't need to raise her voice, wherever he was, he would be there shortly." Snow ball suddenly came bounding out of the nearby forest with a squeal as he bounded up her back and onto her shoulder. Kagame's heart warmed at the fuzzy little guy as she stroked the top of his head and he nuzzled into her hand.
"Aww, he's adorable." Sango said. Kagame laughed, She got that reaction quite often when people saw her little friend. She extended her arm and Snowball scurried down and gave Sango a sniff.
"Yeah, he is isn't he." Sango smiled.
"I have my own little girl, her name is Kiara. She's a nekomata." Kagame smiled as Snowball raced back up her arm and curled himself around her neck.
"I've hear of those, are they sweet? I was told that they're fiercely loyal to their companion." She didn't want to say master, no animal had a master. Sango gave a slightly sad smile.
"Yeah they are, fierce little critters too. Kiara has helped me on so many missions, I don't know where I'd be without her. She was a gift to me for my tenth birthday from my parents. Not many demon slayers have pets. It can be difficult to care for an animal when you're always away fighting. But thankfully, we rescued Kiara and after a few days of not finding her family, my parents returned and allowed me to keep her."
Kagame was very glad to hear that Sango and her family had at least searched for the nekomata's family. Snowball had a family, she was able to meet them a few times. She had never truly taken Snowball from his family, most of the time he spent in the woods, hunting, s[ending time with his other mink friends, but he always came to her at night, he slept on a white pillow that stayed next to her bed all the time in a mini little shelter she had built herself.
"It's very unfortunate when animals are abandoned. Can I ask how you rescued her?" Kagome asked. Sango nodded as she reached out and touched Snowball's fluffy little ear.
"She was attacked by some strange demon, I'm still not quite sure what demon it was but... it was bad, I remember her whole family was basically slaughtered. But she was crying, under a leaf, hiding." Sango's eyes became distant and Kagome tried to reassure her by giving her a friendly pat on the shoulder but Sango smiled and shrugged it off.
"As soon as I found her she ran into my arms, it took me almost twenty minutes to pry her off me." Tango laughed and her face seemed to brighten at the thought. Kagome smiled.
"Anyway, now we're nearly inseparable." At the moment, she's in her training." Kagome didn't know that a demon slayers companion had to go through training as well.
"Well, I'm really glad she found you. Maybe I can meet her sometime?" Kagame said, hoping she didn't sound to hopeful, in case Sango didn't really want to be her friend.
"Absolutely," Sango beamed, Kagame breathed out a sigh of relief.
"In fact, I need to go get ready for our training session together right now. I'll see you later okay? Maybe I can catch you for lunch?"Sango asked. Kagome grinned and nodded at her. Sango began to walk away and gave her a funny looking salute.
"Later!" One new friend in just under three hours? Kagome might be able to make more friends here than she originally thought.
Kagome walked through the woods, Snowball bounding ahead of her and then returning a if to make sure she was following him. Kagome laughed.
"No worries, Snowball. I'm still here." The little mink gave a squeak and continued with his routine. Gosh the forest here is wonderful, so green. I can hear water somewhere... Kagome tilted her head a bit and could hear some running water, rather fast too. Must be some river. She assumed. She continued walking, stepping over a branch last second, stumbling anyway.
Kagome looked down at the ground below her. A rather large paw print that was bigger than her hand was sitting in the freshly wet soil. What kind of animal made those? She asked herself as Snowball came hurrying back and then left again. She bent down and ran her finger over the indentation.
Kagome frowned. I don't know any animals with paw prints that huge! What if... what if it isn't animal? Kagome's heart dropped as she felt a tingling in her stomach of fear. What if there's a demon? Kagome reached out, extending her aura to see if she could feel any others. Nothing demonic... just regular animals. Kagome frowned. Well if there's only regular animals here, what made that paw pri- Kagome heard a low growl, more of a snarl. She froze.
She heard it again, this time when she eached out her aura, she felt just a mall one nearby.
All of a sudden, Snowball came rushing out from ahead, his eyes wide and panicked as distressed and scared screams came from him. Kagome stumbled back. What in the world had frightened him so much. He lept into her arms as she heard a loud roar and an enormous best. All white and rippling fur came leaping out of the trees.
Kagome gave a loud shriek and turned so quickly she stumbled and fell right on her butt. Oh my Kami, it WAS a demon, I have to get out of here! She thought, she scrambled to get up, she felt part of her dress tear as she made a dash for her house she was staying in. She didn't make it far. Snowball gave ear piercing screams and she continued to try and run, she was tripping, stumbling and ripping even more of her dress.
The beast gave a loud snarl and reached her in three large bounds. Kagome felt his breath on the back of her neck before giant paws slammed into her, knocking her to the ground and she became well acquainted with the dirt. She felt claws dip into her skin, it didn't break but it was very, very close.
Snowball went flying at the beast. he scurried all over him, his back, under his belly and over his face, scratching and biting whenever he could as he let oout even more deafening shrieks. All the while, the beast roared and swept massive paws at him, Snowball got several scratches and nips in before a large paw slammed into him, knocking him from the back of the large beast and into a tree trunk, where he crashed into it and gave a whimper as he slid to the ground.
Kagome gasped. No no no, poor little Snowball, she tried to go after him but the paws of the animal pinned her down. If she drew too much attention to herself he may decide she was as good of a snack as poor Snowball.
Deciding she didn't care, Snowball was in pain, Kagome turned and shoved against on of the paws, it moved just enough for her to roll out from under both. The beast made a sound of annoyance but as soon as he lowered those gorgeous eyes on her he froze. And so did Kagome. Those eyes, a perfect golden amber that made her forget how to breath for a moment, his fur was white, beautifully white and flowing. Delicate purple jagged markings streaked over each cheek. Kagome felt a strange compulsion to reach out and stroke the fur.
Kagome shook her head and leaped up, running over she scooped up Snowball into her arms, The little mink gave a pitiful whine and snuggled into her. Kagome felt an unfamiliar feeling of anger surge through her as she stalked right up to the best, ignoring his absolutely adorable sharply pointed ears and the long swishing tail. She narrowed her eyes and glared at him. Which was pretty difficult since she just barely made five four and he was almost six foot.
"Excuse you!" She said, forcing as much venom as she could into her voice. It was new since she rarely ever got upset. But Snowball had done nothing but try to protect her and this jerk of an animal had hit him so hard the poor creature probably had a bruise or two. The beast made a confused sound and pulled his muzzle back, tilting his head in the cutest way.
"This little guy has done nothing to you, and even if he did, he is a much smaller animal and even you should recognize that." She said, raising her voice. The beast stepped back and she stepped forward.
"You hit him so hard he's going to broken bones most likely! You should know that he's much much tinier than you, and there fore, you should never have hit him like you did!" The beast gave a low growl, as if he didn't like her tone of voice, he had the same face her mother did when she told her that at least.
The beast raised his head a swirl of purple red and black with white encased his body, swirling faster and faster until Kagome couldn't even see the beast. There was a flash of white light that made her flinch and squint her eyes, shielding them with one hand.
And then, in the place of the six foot animal stood a man. Long white hair held in a high ponytail that nearly reached his waist. He was shirtless and like any other girl, Kagome had to admire is body. He was just wow, defined toned abs, a stunning six pack and a hard sculpted chest, her eyes traveled down to his arms. His biceps were huge, veins protruded from his arms and she wanted to reach out, trace them with her fingertips.
His pants were red (A/N I love Inuyasha's original outfit but I'm setting this story a bit farther in the future but I haven't decided where exactly yet, because of this I've decided to make Inuyasha have his outfit he always does, but not as baggy and I'm going to add some of Toga's armor on him as well so he looks a little more like Sesshomaru and his father. You'll find out why later ;) The waist line clung to his hips and rode low enough so she could see that sharp V-bone of his. It kind of became a bit baggy in the middle and then tightened around his ankles. (Look up red joggers if you still don't get the picture)
He wore no shoes and he was taller than the beast. He had to be at least six three or four. And those eyes... the same ones from the beast, golden amber and narrowed ever so slightly. His jawline was so sharp it could cut and his lips looked so soft and full... But the thing that drew her in the most was the white pointed triangular ears sitting atop his head.
Kagome gasped and covered her mouth and before she could even think about what she was about to do she reached up and brushed her fingers over them, a girly giggle came from her mouth before the man growled and shoved her hand away.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kagome froze as it dawned on her. This was no man, he was a youkai! She stepped back and looked up at him, the man gave another growl and stepped closer.
"Nobody touches me like that and lives." He told her, Kagome's stomach dropped.Oh my Kami, he's going to kill me. He stepped closer and Kagome stood still, he was barely six inches away from her and he lowered his head to her ear.
"Not even you, mate."
How was that? I've been thinking about writing this type of story for a while, I'm hoping if this does well, I can continue until the end for this one. Unlike my other story I started, I don't know why but that little fire in me that tells me to write kind of died in the middle of that one. You guys shoul check it out and let me know what you think! Then maybe I'll decide whether or not to continue it. Anyway, review this plzzzz I really wanna know how I'm doing, I've never written a story during a different time period. Or at least not this far back.
