CHERRY FESTIVAL
Kikyo satoma started her day as usual making her runs, cleaning the courtyard, helping her mother's maids with the little ones. She could
help but think of the soon event happening at the castles this week .Her mother princess Atsuko would appear before the court and help
kikyo's grandfather plan for the cherry blossom festival. The cherry blossom festival is the only day kikyo didn't have any chores. So kikyo
already planed she would spend it with Inuyasha and Sango in the little village near the palace. After kikyo finished her chores she headed
straight for her room so she could finish her kimono. Usual kimonos for the festival were bright cheery colors she decides to make her
unique and go with dark colors instead. So far it look ok she had use dark black fabric and embroidered with deep red and blue flowers
down the sides. She only had a few stitches before she would start on a back up kimono for Sango and Kyo. As she finished up the last of
her kimono she heard her mother come back from the palace and the maids bustling to help her undress and get in to her midday outfit. As
usual kikyo put everything down 2 help her twin sister Kyo get ready for her meal with mother this afternoon. As she made her way through
the corridor going as slow as possible just to annoy kyo and not get in trouble. She saw Inuyasha at the front gate she ignored him and
walked faster think to herself "I hope he doesn't see me or I'll never get to kyo in time" she walked fast as possible without making a
scene she almost made it till Kyo screamed her name across the courtyard" ooh no why kyo why he's bound to notice now what do I do
what do I do argh I'll get you for this later Kyo" she hurried to kyo side "what do u want" kyo replied in a annoyed voice" your supposed to
help me get dress for midday meal with mother and you know it " "oh shut up kyo you can dress your self and we both know it "kikyo
replied in a equal annoyed voice. Inuyasha just stood there waiting for kyo to walk away when she did he hit her in the head "why are you
avoiding me kikyo" Inuyasha asked in an irritated voice. Kikyo weighed her options she could A) run for it and help kyo B) tell him the truth
or C) say nothing and wait for him 2 figure it out him self or walk away. She didn't like any of theses option so she went with option A) run
for it. Inuyasha stared her for her reply until her saw her slow back away and run away. Inuyasha jumped in front of her and kikyo knew
she could avoid this much longer she was to shy to ask now and all the maids were staring at her. Inuyasha tried 2 look her in the eye but
kikyo wouldn't meet his glaze. Huffing in annoyance Inuyasha took her chin and force her to look at him "are you going to tell me or what
stop looking like a sad puppy". When she finally met his glaze could help but voluntary step back her eyes were pitch black with no emotion
at all her usual lively chocolate brown eyes were cold and still. When she finally spoke he felt relived that she wasn't mad at him she spoke
in a warm soothing voice he haven't heard her speak that way since they were little kids. Although it they were now 16and 17 and not 4
and 5. he looked away to hid his blush and said in his best fake angry voice" just hurry up and tell me I have to meet miroku and shippo at
the well in a little while" her black eyes turn blue she talked in a quit and sad voice" I'm sorry maybe I should ask you later ""no just tell
me already!!" Inuyasha cut her off" umm Inuyasha" "come on kikyo I know you can talk faster than that" kikyo was getting frustrated by
Inuyasha's words "fine I'll talk faster Inuyasha will u spend the cherry blossom festival with Sango and me "Inuyasha was surprised by her
question he though she was mad at him not …….he could even finish the though because next thing he knew kikyo was face first in the
ground .he helped her up and brushed her off and looked around 2 see who did that. He then he spotted a young looking lady with beautiful
long golden blond hair. She was fair skinned and was wearing a light pink kimono she smelled human and her scent was close to kikyo's.
Kikyo knew who did that and was very annoyed this was mother's way of saying come here and make him go away. she looked at Inuyasha
and saw that he had spotted her she didn't like how he was looking at her like she was the goddess of something never the less she told
Inuyasha that he must leave and she'll talk to him later she rushed to her mother's side and bowed her head respectively "yes mother"
kikyo answered . her mother just look at Inuyasha leave before she spoke. "what was he doing here "her mother asked in a sharp tone" I
was asking him to accompany me at the cherry festival "kikyo said in a indifferent tone .just the kyo scream kikyo's name and mother
release her to help her sister .after that she didn't see much of her family just the maids little ones all of the liked her besides to little boys
who like to throw pudding in her face although she loved pudding it get annoying some times but it always fun to chase them around
afterwards .Kikyo finished all her chores for the day so she slipped in to her room and closed the door silently .she was going to finish her
kimono then go to sleep . she couldn't wait till the cherry blossom festival which was tomorrow but Inuyasha never said yes or no but
Sango would probably ask him later to and she'll get the answer from her . She made her self stop think about Inuyasha and the cherry
blossom festival and finished her kimono. She fell asleep right next to it and woke up the next day done and it look beautiful she wasn't
going 2 put it on till her mother release her for the day and she would change in the small village. So she prepared for her trip. It was a long
way to the castle by foot it would take her a few days walking if Inuyasha didn't run like a 6 year old with a sugar rush. She slipped out her
room and visited her mother who said she could leave but had to be home before the full moon is at the top of the sky or in other words
midnight. She bowed her head and wished her mother a good day and set out for the bone eater well just out side of the forest of
Inuyasha .when she arrived there Inuyasha was lazily sleeping in a tree while kagome was going home to her time kikyo waved goodbye
and look for Sango on the way she saw shippo who was very happy to see her . he jumped on her shoulder and told her where Sango was
as soon as she found her Sango raced up and hugged her like she hasn't seen her in years instead of just yesterday. She hugged Sango back
and saw her pretty kimono which was bright sea blue with pink and dark blue embroidery down the sides and front f her kimono. Sango
rushed her to put on hers so she kicked miroku out of the nearby hut got dress and set outside to only find everyone was staring besides
Inuyasha till her fell out of the tree she could help but giggle on the other hand he didn't find it so funny and glared at her "I'm sorry
Inuyasha "she said as she help him to his feet "why the fancy kimono kikyo nothing special is happen to day besides all of us is going to
search for naraku you can't come if your going to wear that thing we don't want you to trip a thousand times and slow us down " Inuyasha
said in a annoyed voice" what was she thinking wearing that here she can't fight demons and try to acted pretty all the time good thing
kagome isn't here or she would have made him sit he would know why but she would he could tell" before Kikyo or Sango could remind
him miroku said "you don't remember anything besides going after naraku Inuyasha we promised the girl that we would take the to the
cherry festival near the castle". Yay miroku remember he would never believe me if I said the" kikyo thought to herself .Inuyasha looked
at miroku for a long time and said "fine but we're not staying all-day "so they set off and arrived there in a mere 20 minutes she was so
excited she dragged Inuyasha to most of the booth that was if Sango or him wasn't dragging her they had a great time at the festival and
kikyo got home little before midnight she slipped into her room and fell asleep and dreamed about her wonderful day with her friends at the
cherry blossom festival. She could only hope kyo had a wonderful day to .
