New fan fiction story idea! Get this: Everyone knows that Sesshomaru and Inuyasha never have and never will get along, but what about their sister? Although she doesn't know it yet, Kanashimi is the youngest sibling of the Lord of the Western Lands and the famous half-demon, Inuyasha. But she'll soon find out that being a demon princess isn't all it's cracked up to be!
Chapter 1
"Hey Yuki! Can I borrow your notes from science class?" a young girl's voice calls from the other side of the school parking lot. A young, 17 year old girl runs across the school yard and meets her friend halfway. There were a few peculiar things about her, including her hair color and the strange markings on her face. Although, the strangest things were her eyes, they were a bright yellow color, but she just told everyone she wore contacts-which she didn't.
She was a little on the short side, but she was also a skinny girl. She always kept her long, flowing white hair up in a high ponytail, the only time anyone's ever seen it down was when she goes to a sleepover and she takes it down when she's got to brush it out in the morning. Everyone was actually amazed at quite a few things with this particular girl, other than her strange hair color.
Kanashimi also had a blue crescent moon on her forehead, everyone thought she just re-colored it every morning. But the truth was, she was born with it yet she didn't tell anyone that. Her favorite thing about herself though was probably either how fast her nails grew back and how sharp they were or how fast she was. She was the fastest runner on the whole track team, she was even able to outrun all the football players put together!
She pushes a strand of hair out of her face and smiles while her friend, a little taller than her and had short, brown hair handed her the notes. "You know, you should consider not falling asleep in science! I'm surprised the teacher hasn't caught you sleeping in class yet!" her friend, Yuki, scolds her.
Kanashimi shrugs and says in an innocent voice, "Hey, I can't help it if that class is so boring! But thanks for the notes, I'll give them back to you first thing tomorrow, ok? Ok, bye!" She smiles, waving and quickly running off before Yuki has the chance to answer.
"Eh-always does that too me. I still want to know how on Earth she's so fast!" Yuki muses over that fact that Kanashimi was already out of sight. Sighing, she starts walking towards the other parking lot and finds her car, getting in and taking off back to her own house.
Kanashimi had started walking by now and was passing the old Higurashi shrine. She stops and stares up the steps, as she did every day on her way home. "Hmm, well, guess I'd better get-," she starts walking, but stops when she hears someone coming down the road towards the shrine. "Hmm?" she turns around and sees Kagome, the girl who lives in the shrine, walking up with someone. 'Hey, who's that guy with her? Uh-oh, she'll see me!' she thinks and quickly runs between two buildings.
"Why did you come here again?! I thought I told you to stay at home?" Kagome yells at the boy walking with her.
"You were late! Someone had to make you hurry up and get back, we need to go back to the Feudal Era!" the boy yells. He wore an all red kimono top and pants and had long white hair. But the thing that amused Kanashimi the most was the white ears! 'Oh! He has white hair, too! I wonder . . . What's the Feudal Era?' she thinks, leaning against one of the buildings as she eavesdrops on them both.
"Well if you were going to go into town to get me, why didn't you wear the hat? Someone could have seen you, you idiot!" Kagome yells at him again.
"I lost it on the way, the wind picked up and it blew off! Anyway, let's just hurry up and go. We have to look for Naraku!" the boy says, crossing his arms and picking up the pace a little. 'This might prove to be interesting, I'll follow them and see what they're talking about!' As they go up the steps of the shrine, Kanashimi quickly follows, but stays far enough behind so that they don't know she's there.
"Alright, alright, let's just go. My test is done, I failed it, so let's go back," Kagome sighs as they walk inside the shrine around the old well. Following them stealthily and silently, Kanashimi stays on the outside of the shrine as they jump down in it. "Ah!" she exclaims as a purple light aluminates from the well and then goes away.
"How strange," she whispers under her breath, sneaking into the shrine and walks up to the well. But she gets the biggest kick when she looks down it and doesn't see Kagome and the boy! "Where'd they go?!" she exclaims, looking around and still not seeing them. "Hmm, guess there's only one way to find out what that light was, jump down the well and see what happens!"
Climbing on the edge of the well, she looks down into it and thinks, 'It looks like a regular well. But I know I saw a light from it!' With that, she launches herself down and closes her eyes as she falls into the well. When she opens her eyes again, she was standing on the bottom of the well again. "Hmm, maybe I was seeing things," she shrugs and grabs a couple vines inside the well and starts climbing out.
But as she's climbing out, she hears voices coming from outside the well and she stops, listening in on the happenings up above and outside the well. "Kagome! Inuyasha! You're back!" a little boy's voice exclaims.
"Shippo!" Kagome's voice comes as she laughs happily.
"Can we please go now?! Naraku could be anywhere!" the boy from earlier yells at whoever was up there.
"Patience Inuyasha, we should at least give Kagome a chance to relax for a moment," another man's voice says, followed by a woman's screech.
"YOU LECHEROUS MONK!" the woman screams, as a loud 'thud' can be heard probably miles away. Kanashimi figures that the man who was talking last was some kind of lecher and the woman must have hit him over the head or something like that. Almost unable to control herself, Kanashimi starts laughing and almost accidentally lets go of the vines.
Unfortunately, everyone up there must have heard her laughing because when she looks up again she sees Kagome, the boy from earlier, a man who looked like an old-fashioned monk, a demon slayer, and . . . A little boy with a fluffy tail. *Sweat drop* "Uh, hi?" Kanashimi stutters, looking up towards them. "Uh, hey Kagome, what's up?"
*****
"So, you just followed us and were able to get through the well?" Kagome asks Kanashimi after she explains why she was there. They were all sitting around a fire in the forest, Inuyasha staring strangely at Kanashimi and Kanashimi trying not to look at Inuyasha.
"Yeah, I guess. Say, Inuyasha, have you always had white hair and yellow eyes?" Kanashimi asks, almost ignoring Kagome and looking over towards Inuyasha. "I don't know why, but I feel like I've known you before. There's someone else, too, but I'm not sure who."
Inuyasha lifts an eyebrow up towards her and says, "You've got a familiar scent, why? You almost smell like . . . Sesshomaru!" Kanashimi thinks about it for a moment and is about to say something when Kagome interrupts.
"Come to think of it, she does kind of look like him. But she kind of looks like you, too, Inuyasha. The white hair, the yellow eyes, and the crescent moon on her forehead are a bit suspicious," Kagome explains.
"You're not human, are you?" Inuyasha asks, looking at her suspiciously, 'Could she be-no, couldn't be,' he thinks, shaking the idea out of his head.
"Human? Of course I'm human! I mean, I think so anyway," Kanashimi exclaims, blinking a couple times. 'I wonder who this Sesshomaru person is and why I supposedly look like Inuyasha and whoever this Sesshomaru guy is,' she thinks and turns to Kagome. "Hey Kagome, who's Sesshomaru?"
"Inuyasha's older, full demon brother. Inuyasha is only half-demon, he has a demon father and a human mother, but his brother Sesshomaru is a full-fledged demon, born of both demons-" Kagome explains, but is interrupted.
"Dude, you just said 'demon' like… 15 times," Kanashimi laughs, receiving a glare from Kagome before she continues.
"ANYWAY, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha don't get along all that well. In fact, they can't get near each other without trying to kill each other! Sesshomaru supposedly hates humans so he despises his little brother, but he travels with a young human girl named Rin, as well as a little imp demon named Jaken," Kagome explains.
"Yeah, I still don't understand that. If he despises humans so much, why does Rin stay with him? She's been with him for quite some time now," Sango, the demon slayer, finally speaks up, getting into the conversation.
Kanashimi shrugs and then adds, "Hmm, odd. Both Inuyasha and this 'Sesshomaru' guy seem familiar to me. I haven't got the slightest idea why, though. I have no idea who they are, but I feel like I've met both of them before!" The whole gang thinks about this for a moment longer, trying to come up with a solution.
"Well, it's starting to get late. Maybe we'll be able to come up with some solution to this in the morning," Miroku, the monk, suggests, looking towards Sango. Sango nods and Shippo, the fox demon, jumps up on Kagome's shoulder.
"Um, Kagome, what about school? Is this the reason you miss so much school? You come here," Kanashimi asks, looking away from Shippo and back to Kagome, who nods. "Wow, I thought you had like some serious, unknown disease or something! Your grandpa sure is good at making up weird sicknesses."
*Sweat drop*
"Yeah, I wish he would stop that, too!" Kagome complains under her breath. "Well, let's all go to sleep. We can figure out all this tomorrow once we all wake up," Kagome says, getting out a sleeping bag out of her backpack and lying it out.
"Where do I sleep?"
Everyone looks over at Kanashimi, they hadn't really thought about that yet. "Uh, I'm sure Kirara wouldn't mind if you lie up against her for the night. That's what I do every night," Sango explains as the small two-tailed cat transforms into a huge cat demon!
"Whoa! That was awesome!" Kanashimi exclaims, smiling towards the cat and walking over to her. She sits down next to Sango and looks up at Kirara, who lies down so Sango and Kanashimi could lean against her to sleep.
"Good night, everyone!" Kagome smiles, lying down in her sleeping bag and closing her eyes.
"Good night, Kagome," Kanashimi yawns, closing her eyes as well and is almost immediately asleep. Long before everyone else has the chance to go to sleep yet.
End of the very first chapter, I hope everyone liked it. I actually started this over a year ago- I think- but I just now decided to continue it again. It's such a fun story ^_^ So, read, rate, and review! :D
