My Immortal
A/N: HELLO MY FELLOW READERS! I am soo sorry I haven't been updating for a while! Truthfully, I missed you guys! Happy belated Thanksgiving and an almost Christmas. Anyway, this is a long overdue challenge story from Dark Void Princess 21 and I apologize if you're reading it right now and really hating me for holding it off but I had a lot to do. Yeah, that was me trying to save my own ass. Ok, so on with it. NO this will not be a Ciel/Kagome fic. I just had to pick a character and since they will interact more than anyother character other than sebastian, I had to pick them. So... Yea, now I'm done.
Summary: Kagome is an immortal training under Sesshomaru and has been named his heir. She has been thinking about how she wanted to travel and learn new things and so she set off to explore the world, promising to come back if needed. Now she is in England around the 1700 and will soon be making a new friend.
Disclaimer: I am sad- and kind of glad- to say that I don't own either Black Butler OR Inuyasha.
Chapter 1
~Kagome's P.O.V~
As I walked through the bustling marketplace of London, I start to think about how the different continents of the planet have evolved exponentially.
'God I can't wait for history class when I get to my time. I'm probably going to pass it with flying colors with how much time I have been spending wandering the world as the years fly by.'
Thankfully I have picked up the intricate language of English and can communicate with the people here smoothly.
I kept looking through the multiple shops scattered throughout the street. A true wonder of colors from the shops themselves to the little trinkets they sell. They were very appealing to the eye. Some salesmen even wanted to trade me a jade necklace for the Shikon Jewel that I have kept around my neck for the past few years. Of course I humbly refused. I wouldn't want to have to track this stupid orb down again after all the trouble me and my friends had gone through years ago.
I finally reached the last stand in the widely-spaced area. My skirt blew back behind me as a random gust of wind passed by. Tired and bored, I turned to the alley that I currently reside while I am in the country. Since I really don't intend to take money with me when I leave, I see no point in getting a job and buying some special house I might never use again. This meager alley would do just fine for me anyway. I have privacy and have no fear of prying eyes.
I kept walking down the narrow path when I heard a strange cry that sounded like a screaming child. My hearing has sharpened slightly during the jewel hunt as well as Sesshomaru's training. I can hear the child was just at the end of the dark alley's path. I ran toward the shout and saw two tall dark figures hovering over a smaller one of which I am sure is the child. I hid behind a stray box near the wall to assess the situation.
"Get away from me!" the child begged. By the look of his clothing, a dark blue vest with a black undershirt as well as dark blue pants and shiny black shoes, he was most-likely a noble's son. The two men dressed in dark brown heavy looking cloaks just inched closer, making the poor child shake with fear. If all my guessing is correct, the two men are either going to take him hostage, if the child has some money, rob him.
And as a lady, I can't let that happen now can I?
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" I called out, leaving my hiding spot.
The two figures turned to me.
"Who the hell are you?" One of them asked harshly.
"Oh no, that is not the polite way to ask one's name, let alone a woman." I said to them with a smile on my face. I pointed to the cowering boy, "And, that is most definitely not the right way to treat a poor, defenseless, sweet-looking child."
I simply walked passed them and toward the boy. They didn't try to stop me. Probably too shocked to do so, not that they can anyway. I am not complaining though. If I can find a way to get the boy out of here, spilling little to no blood, I'll take it.
I crouched down in front of him and held out my hand.
"Hey there, are you alright?" He nodded slightly at my question and hesitantly took my hand, his face full of speculation. I just kept smiling hoping that the boy would loosen up a bit if he believed I meant him no harm.
"What's your name?" I asked him. I had to do something to keep his mind off of the terrible situation he was currently in.
"I am Vincent." He told me. I nodded as we started to walk away leaving the two bulky men behind us.
"I am Kagome." I responded. He held his hand to his mouth as if to suppress a chuckle. It was very cute! "And what, may I ask, is so funny?"
"Your name," he said. "It sounds very strange."
I just smiled. "I guess it does, doesn't it?" I chuckled with him.
We were close to the exit when-
"Hey, wait a minute!" the shout came from behind me. I sighed.
'Geez and I thought I can get this kid home without any conflict. The fates must really hate me.'
"Yes?" I asked as I turned to face them. "What do you want?"
"Who the hell are you?" the same man asked again, holding a small dagger to me. I didn't like the look on his face as well as the pointy object aimed at mine. I had enough of that in Japan.
"Now, do you really think that a threat like that will get me to introduce myself to you rude people?" I said to them. "First you dare threaten a lady and you use such profanity in front of a child Maybe I should teach you a lesson on common courtesy?!"
The men started stomping over towards me. They might me about half a foot taller than me. I stood my ground. After facing demons that range from two feet to two-hundred feet, I think I could take on two six-foot humans.
"Try." They said.
I set Vincent down and told him to stand by the wall behind the box I was just at, close his eyes, and cover his ears.
"And no peeking. I will tell you when it is safe to open them." I said to him. He looked at me with his big, brown, worried eyes.
"But what about you," He asked me.
"I will be alright. It will be over quickly." I said. "Remember, don't peek. You don't have to see this." He nodded and ran off to sit behind the box, a bit of a distance away.
As soon as I knew he won't peek, I turned back to the two men.
"Now, shall we begin the lesson?"
A/N: And so, Chapter one is finished. What do you think DVP21 as well as everyone else? I hope I did well. Anyway, the next chapters of my other stories are still in progress but, don't worry, they will be up soon!
So
Until next time!
Ja ne!
