Disclaimer- I do NOT own Inu Yasha. Oh how I wish I did own them though. Because than I could make then do anything…but I don't own them. *pouts*
Summery- May Machiko is a seventeen year old Miko with her eighteenth coming up. But the urgency of her mission to save the remaining Youkai and Hanyou mad her journey to the western Lord so convince the hardest Youkai of them all. Lord Sesshomaru. Let's see how her adventures take her.
It was the first day and the sun was setting. I found I was heading on a worn out path but found a field surrounded by woods. Through the field was a winding stream carrying fresh water for her and I could see some steam coming from a bolder border area meaning I had found the perfect place to make camp. I grabbed my bag and placed it down on the ground. Grabbing some wood that I had found along the way and thought to grab for wood I started a small fire and as it was going I went out and found more fire wood. When I came however I saw a woman sitting by the fire. I looked to her and found that she was tired and her kimono was torn and scratched. She caught me and stood suddenly. I dropped my wood and put up my hands. She looked to me and I saw that she was part Youkai. More than Hanyou but not the same.
"My name is May Machiko and if you need I can let you camp here with me." I said and I watched as the woman became more defenseless. "Um I won't hurt you or anything." I said and she seemed to relax. I watched as her eyes turned from a pink color to more brown.
"I just need a fire and rest." The woman said and I got a closer look at her. She had really long brown hair with some of it in a ponytail on the top of her head. Her kimono was elegantly made and she almost looked as if she was royal. Her eyes where a chocolate brown and she held elegance and grace in her every move.
"May I know your name?" I asked and she looked over to me almost on guard again.
"My name is Rin." She said and I bent down to pick up all my wood for the fire and walk to it.
"Hello Rin, my name is May Machiko. I am a Miko from the local temple back south." I said and started to work out on the food. I grabbed a bowl and utensils. Grabbing some water from the stream I started to boil the water for tea. "Would you care for some tea?" I asked and she looked to me suspiciously. "Oh you're frightened by me because I am a Miko. I promise you on my ancestor Kagome that I will not harm you. I actually seek passage through the western lands in order to talk to the Lord. I have thought of a way to help stop the war that is going on between the races." I said and she looked to me almost wonderingly.
"This ancestor you speak about. What was her full name?" Rin asked and I smiled to her.
"You are the first to ask me that question. Kagome liked to be called by her true name as Kagome Higurashi but she married Inu Yasha a half demon. She held the Shikon jewel and protected these lands. She was strong and beautiful. She fought and won against the half demon named Naraku and created peace on this land for quite a few years. But now the wars have started and I seek to bring peace again." As I explained who my ancestor was she seemed to grow in understanding. "I have an extra kimono if you would like to take a bath in the spring behind that rock area." I told her and she looked to me. "I'll cook something while you bath." I said and looked through my bad. I pulled out a blue kimono and she smiled.
"Thank you." She said and I nodded. I pulled out a package of meat and took out a pan to cook the meat. The stars started to shine and I loved to look at them. They looked so well next to the moon but when I looked there was no moon. I sighed and knew that the only light that we would be getting will be from the fire. I cooked and grabbed some fruit I had dried for the trip. I waited and soon after the meat was done she showed up and smiled to me. After removing the food she through her kimono into the fire. It release a blue flame and I looked to her. "The smell is too deep within the fabric to remove." She said and I nodded my head in understanding. I didn't know what smell she was talking about but there were times when there was nothing else you could do but to burn the thing after a certain point.
"Okay. Where are you heading to?" I asked her when she looked to me.
"I am heading to the western lands." She said and I nodded my head.
"Then you can join me. I would like to have you join me to it then." I said and she smiled.
"Thank you." She said and we silently eat. When we finished eating she talked about something that she knew but she never told me anything that was important. She kept herself entertained until I needed to sleep. I pulled out a fur and slept with that next to the fire. I starred at the night sky and waited till sleep took a hold of me.
