The Tale of The Inu Youkai and The Little Girl
An InuYasha Fan Fiction
Chapter 1
The Young Girl and The Inu Youkai
"Sada-san!"
The recognition of someone calling her name rang in the princess's ears.
"Sada-san!" The voice called again.
"Coming mama!" the little girl called, and sprang up from her spot on the floor, and into her parent's private quarters.
"Sada!" Mizuki scolded as she took her daughter into her arms. "Where have you been?"
"I'm sorry mama," Sada apologized, "I was practicing my writing. Oba-san had taught it to me."
Mizuki frowned. The death of her beloved sister-Izayoi-had been a tragedy for her. Mizuki had known that her sister had fallen in love with an inu youkai, but was too scared to say anything.
"All is forgiven Sada-san." her mother whispered, cradling her daughter to her chest.
"Mama," Sada whispered.
"Yes young one?"
" May I go outside and play with the other children?"
"In a few moments Sada-san, please, be patient."
"Mizuki-sama," a voice called. Mizuki turned her attention towards the servant at the front door.
"Your husband has returned." Mizuki sighed in relief. Thank the gods, she thought, before setting her daughter on the ground, and rushing out the door.
Hitoshi was standing out at the front gate, speaking with the fellow servants that had accompanied him to the western lands.
"Hitoshi!" The king heard his beloved queen calling his name. When he turned around, his wife was in his arms, embracing him with all the strength she possessed.
"Hitoshi, please-do not EVER worry me like this again!"
"My beloved Mizuki," Hitoshi stroked her cheek with the back of his hand, catching a few tears that ran down her fair skin, "I regret to inform you that I must leave again. The king of Takatenjin wishes to speak important business with me."
"How long shall you be away?" Mizuki asked in fear for her beloved.
"Only a few days my sweet." Hitoshi kissed his wife upon the cheek, before a familiar voice drifted to his ears.
"Papa!" Mizuki stepped aside, as a little girl launched herself into her father's arms.
"There is my little tenshi." Hitoshi hugged his daughter to his chest, before placing a small kiss upon her forehead.
"Mama and I were wondering when you would return!" Sada exclaimed with a large grin.
"So it would seem," Hitoshi gave his wife a small smile, before she replied with an exasperated expression.
"Papa? Are you leaving again?"
Hitoshi frowned, "Yes Sada, I am."
Sada frowned, and was on the verge of tears when her father began to speak once again. "But, I am in need of someone to keep me company on this journey, someone who could be of great help to me…."
A grin spread across Sada's now excited face and she turned to meet her mother's shocked gaze. "May I go?" she implied, "I do so want an adventure!"
Mizuki's eyes flickered from her daughter to her husband. "She will be fine," Hitoshi soothed his stressed wife, "that much I can assure you."
Mizuki closed her eyes and sighed heavily. "Alright,"
Sada squirmed with excitement and was practically jumping up and down in her father's arms.
"But-" Mizuki intervened, "you must stay with your father at all times, and you mustn't dawdle. Do you understand Sada?"
"Yes mama!" Sada exclaimed happily, "I shall do as you wish."
"Very well then, " Hitoshi said setting his daughter back onto the ground, "We leave at dawn tomorrow."
…..
The Lord of the Western Lands overlooked his vast territory. Since his father's-The Great Inu No Taisho-death, the now demon lord Sesshomaru had inherited all that his father had owned.
How foolish he was! Sesshomaru thought to himself, That my father would fall victim to a mere HUMAN! The thought of Inu No Taisho's fault gave Sesshomaru a headache.
"Sesshomaru-sama." a deep voice called to him. Sesshomaru turned his head a fraction behind him, only to see that it was simply one of his servants.
"What is it Hosenka?" the demon lord asked in a hard voice.
"Forgive me, but your presence is required at the palace."
"To what of such importance would require my presence?" Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow.
"The Lord of the Eastern Lands, has required a meeting with you immediately sire, he says it is of great importance."
Sesshomaru turned his head back to the land of which he was overlooking before. "Tell him that I shall speak with him in the morning."
"But sire-"
"You dare refuse orders from your master?" Sesshomaru said in a stern voice, fully turning to face his now frightened servant.
"N-no my lord!" Hosenka fell to the ground in a bow "I-I shall tell him at once!"
"Very good. Now, leave me in peace."
"Yes sire," Hosenka stood up, gave Sesshomaru a quick bow, before rushing off towards the Western Palace.
Weakness, Sesshomaru thought, Heh, why should I bother with such necessities.
