'I'm tired of people saying sorry for something I didn't do.
Because, one day, sorry just won't count when it really matters
And I'll really be punished.'

"Are you sure - was the 'Master of the Bow'?"
"I'm sure you're not her!"
Dear pineapple. A headache. Again. Do you know what's worse than having a headache? A migraine. Do you know what's worse than having a migraine? Someone talking to you nonstop about anything and everything you can ever imagine. Do you know what's worse about having that? A headache, a migraine, and a chattering person all in one. Do you know how that feels like? Hell. Now you have a little glimpse at how I'm feeling at the moment.
Currently, I'm in my room with Rin. Don't get me wrong. I really do like Rin. But sometimes, when I have a pounding head like this, her chattering can get a little bit annoying. I should be grateful though. At least that over-grown breathing ice statue isn't here. Crud, he'd probably sense my headache and laugh at my misfortune. Wait, scratch that. He wouldn't laugh, he'd just stare at me like I'm a pile of dog poop. Ha. Dog poop.
"Rin-chan?" I started, making her stop mid-sentence about how trees can eat hippos when they're angry. "I'm kind of thirsty. Is there any water around here?" I asked. To tell you the truth, I kind of regretted making her stop talking about that topic. She was about to tell me how I could save myself if a tree ever wanted to eat me. Sigh, I bet I'll regret that one day.
"Water?" Rin repeated as she stared at me. Her face broke into a smile as she stood up. "I'll get that for you, Kagome-chan!" she said happily. I told her my name when I saw her again after I found it out myself. She was hysterical when she found out and kept repeating my name over and over and over again. I was happy though. I didn't know why.
"Iie, wait." I said as I stood up. "I'll go with you too. I need to find out where I could get water by myself anyway." I said with a smile. I was not going to stay in this room any longer. If I did I would probably suffocate with recycled air.
She agreed and went outside, followed by me. We walked through the many hallways and passages until we reached another door. She slid it open for me and I went outside. What I saw made my breath hitch in my throat. In front of me was the most amazing view I've ever seen. Well, err, that I'll ever see anyway. I'm sure of it.
"Sugoi…" was the only thing I could have said at that moment. A couple of yards away, to my left, was a beautiful waterfall, the water spraying white foam on the blackened rocks. The water traveled down and into a large group of rocks at the bottom. From there, it would go through the cracks and crevices (or even over) of the boulders and flow in a nice and steady rhythm in the stream. The flow would then become wider and, a little way away from here would end in a ditch. The water was a nice clear blue so that people were able to see through it.
We neared the stream and knelt down at the edge. There were no fishes in them either. Fishes. Always wondered about that. Do we just say fish or fishes? Does it really matter? Fish can be plural anyway so why say fishes? Arg, off topic. Gomen.
I put my hand into the water slowly, as if fearing to disturb the peaceful flow. It was cold, I can tell you that. But then again, it's also warm after awhile. Maybe it's because of the sun that shined down on it, making nice twinkles and glitters on the surface. Twinkles and glitters? I sound like a toddler.
"Go ahead, Kagome-chan." Rin exclaimed as she scooped up some water with her hands. "I love the water here the best." She said as she slurped the water, some dripping down her chin and onto her kimono.
I mimicked her and did the same. Wow, the water here was so fresh. Some of the water escaped my mouth and dripped onto my kimono but I didn't care. There wasn't anyone watched anyway so why bother?
After I had my fill I stared at the waterfall. It wasn't all that big so maybe that's why it didn't have that deafening noise. There were trees surrounding this place, like a barrier. It was peaceful. I liked it. I stood up and Rin followed my movement. "Come on, Rin-chan. I want to go explore." I said cheerfully. I felt reborn! Muhahahaha! Cough, cough.
"All right." Rin replied as she started walking away. "Come on!"
I followed suit but something happened at that moment. I realized I was a klutz. Want to know how? I slipped on a wet patch of grass I accidentally spilt water on. How could anyone slip on grass? Me, I guessed. With a loud shriek, I plummeted into the water backwards. I gagged under the freezing water. It was cold darn it!
I started to kick my way up. Was this what you called swimming? I guess I was good at it then. I emerged from the water with a loud gasp, breathing in precious air. Once I did though, I started to cough violently. I swallowed some water on the way down and some went up my nose. Curse it! Did I always have this kind of bad luck? I swam to the edge and steadied myself with my elbows as I continued to cough out the water and air that went down the wrong windpipe.
Rin was in front of me with a worried expression. "Silly Kagome-chan." She said quietly. "You shouldn't go swimming with your clothes on."
After my coughs were reduced to small gasps and hiccups I smiled back at Rin. Yeah, she was right. Silly me. I wanted a drink of water. Looks like I got more than I bargained for. I looked behind me and saw the large ripples I had caused. I also saw the grass near the stream where the splashes I made wet it. I felt kind of bad, disturbing the water like this. Did water have feelings? That was something I had to ask Rin about later.
Suddenly she started to giggle. I stared at her while she covered her mouth. Her dark brown eyes were practically sparkling with laughter. She tried to hold it in but with me staring at her all soaked she couldn't handle it and burst into fits of laughter.
After awhile of just watching her roll in the grass I started laughing too. What? Laughter was contagious. And so was revenge. While she was vulnerable and inattentive I splashes some water onto her. She yelled/laughed and ran away from me.
Finally having enough of just floating on the freezing, freezing water, I lifted myself up. Rin trusted me enough to come closer. I stood up, carefully this time, and walked a little way away from the rippling stream. I took a bunch of my hair (which I found out was a blackish colour. Shut up) and squeezed the water out. Most of it anyway.
The water dripped down onto my already soaked kimono and then down at my feet, making the green grass even greener. Rin came closer again and I realized she wasn't that wet at all. Darn. Finishing with my hair, I tried to dry my kimono as best as I could. Suddenly, Rin called out the most horrifying name ever imaginable.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" she cried. Boom, boom, boom! It's the end of the world!
I felt a presence behind me and I gulped. Please don't let it be him, please don't let it be him. I turned around and just stared. Dear jeez! It's him! "E-Eto… Hi, Sesshomaru-sama." I said nervously. Do you know why I didn't want to see him at this moment? Because I was dripping wet. You would have thought 'that's not so bad', well you're wrong. If you were under his disapproving and slightly angry gaze you would have rather faced a family of crocodiles instead of this stiff lord.
He just kept staring at me. And staring. And staring. And… you get the drift. "W-What?" I managed to choke out. This is only my second day here and I already feel as if I'm being overruled!
"You weren't thinking about entering my castle now, were you?" he said in that stiff voice of his. "Since when did I say you could go swimming?"
Arrogant prick. Who said I needed his permission? "I fell in, I didn't want to go for a swim." I replied. Suddenly, I wasn't so nervous anymore. I could take this guy on. Maybe not physically but I can verbally!
He ignored me and addressed Rin without his eyes ever leaving mine. "Rin. Go fetch Jaken and have him bring a new set of clothes." He ordered.
Rin smiled at him and nodded. She wasn't all that wet so she wouldn't be dripping in the hallways. Good. I didn't want to get her in trouble with this guy. But then again, something told me that she wouldn't get in trouble anyway. Was he playing favourites or was he just picking on me? I'll go for the later.
She bounced away and left me all alone with a demon lord. Great. I was soaked to the bone and was about to face off with an icicle. Not the best scenario in the world but I'll take it. It could be worse you know. Why the heck should I be in trouble because I fell in? It's like blaming someone for eating a toad because they have to! If you didn't get it then just ignore the sentence all together.
"Why, may I ask, are you outside wandering in and out of my castle?" he asked flatly.
"Because I was thirsty." I replied just as flat. I had a feeling I had a neutral face on. Good. It boosted my confidence a bit. "You can't expect me to stay in the room all day. I need to get up and walk, you know." I snapped.
His face didn't change. "You could have just walked inside your room." He stated.
I clenched my fists by my side. "You want me to look like some kind of loony-bin?" I asked. "I'd look like some kind of mental person who has nothing better to do than walk in circles."
"Aren't you?" he asked with a quirked eyebrow.
My anger flared. "Do you want me to?" I retorted. "Do you want me to be some deranged person wandering in your house?" I asked. Ha. Got him there.
He lowered his eyebrow and started at me impassively. "What? No snappy remarks?" I smirked. Too late. I couldn't take those words and stuff them back in my mouth. Arg! Frustrations!
In a flash, before I could even blink, he had a clawed hand around my neck. It wasn't touching me but it was there, hovering over my skin. I could feel his demonic aura so close to mine and something inside me started stirring. I gulped. His hand may not be touched mine but it could rip out my throat in less than a second. I have no doubts that he would kill me if he wanted to. We weren't that close here and I know we weren't that close in the past.
"It would do you well to keep your mouth shut around me." he said icily. It was weird. His voice seemed to make me colder. I couldn't help but feel as if he hated me. What the heck did I do? We've only met twice and he hates me like I killed his mother or something.
My eyes widened. Did I kill his mother? Jeez, I hope not. I couldn't see myself killing anyone. But then again, I have no idea who I was, or, in a matter of fact, who I am. Maybe I did something really wrong in the past for him to be so edgy around me. I could see it. He's never relaxed around me and always watching. Watching… now there's a topic I would like to talk about.
"Hey." I said in an accusing tone. I glared at him as fiercely as I could with my status. "Are you following me wherever I go?" I asked with a frown. I haven't forgotten about his claw. Who could forget something that may end your life in mere microseconds?
He didn't answer for awhile and I was beginning to think he was just a crazy stalker pervert at heart. And then he answered, smashing my little theory. "I do not follow you." He stated plainly. Was it me or did he sound bored? "It is a lord's job to be aware of his home. I cannot have you wandering around."
There. There was that little spark in his voice. It sounded so much like a threat. Feeling a little bit bolder, I stared at him straight in the eye. "Why do you hate me so much?" I asked. I knew he hated me. I could see it in his eyes. Why did he take me in anyway if he despises me so?
Silence. That was the reply. After what seemed like a millennium, he answered. "I do not hate you." He said slowly. "Nor do I believe you are a friend or ally. You are merely a person I choose to tolerate." He said.
He was not telling the truth. Well, not telling the whole truth anyway. I pressed on. "Why?" I asked.
He frowned at me and I saw the annoyance in his eyes. "Such a question is unworthy of my answer." He replied not too helpfully.
I was getting a little bit annoyed too. Darn it, he was so arrogant! My headache started up again. I have no idea why. I glared at him again and slapped his offending claw away from me. "You may be the lord of this castle but that does not mean I am beneath you." I started. Okay, it may not be true but this prick needed a good lecture. "Stop acting like I'm a waste of your time! If I am then you might as well kill me now!" I yelled.
At the end I was hyperventilating. I didn't mean to say that last bit. Honest. Just caught up in the moment you know. It seemed like Sesshomaru didn't understand because his claws were tightly around my neck and he was lifting me a couple of feet off the ground. I held his wrist tightly and gasped in air. I couldn't though. He really doesn't care if I die, doesn't he? I glared at him despite my current situation. Fine then. If he wanted to kill me then I'll go down with dignity. I might even try to fight him. I know, crazy of me to think that but hell. What do I have to lose? Nothing.
Just then I heard a croaky voice from a couple of meters away. "S-Sesshomaru-sama?" it squeaked. Sounded male but I wouldn't confirm it at the moment. I couldn't crane my neck to see who it was since said lord had a vice grip on said neck. Heh. Sorry. Just found that sentence funny. And yes, I may be deranged.
Sesshomaru's head ever so slightly turned to the direction of the voice. "Jaken." He addressed in a very plain manner. He let go of my neck and for the second time that day I gasped in precious air. I looked up and glared at him heatedly, daring him to slice my head off. He looked at me once before he turned his back on me. "Take care of this nuisance. I have no time for the likes of her." and it seemed as soon as he said that, he disappeared.
A breath I didn't know I was holding escaped my dry lips. Wow, that was a close one. He didn't kill me after all and I was relieved. Maybe I did go temporarily insane during the last minutes. It sure seemed like it.
I heard footsteps coming closer to me and a few grumbles about 'annoying humans' and 'this job is so not worth it'. "Hey, wench. Are you going to sit there wet all day or are you going to change?" the voice asked.
I turned my head around and my eyes widened at the sight. Right next to me was an overgrown toad. It had large, bulgy yellow eyes and it had warts all over its green body. It had clothes on but it did not make it look anymore normal. Its lips seemed to be poking out like a beak and I didn't believe he had a nose. And so, I did the most natural thing any girl would do. I screamed.
I ended up backing away from the ugly… thing and once again slipping into the stream. I screamed again when I felt the familiar sensation of falling backwards and the hard splash on my back as I sank to the bottom. It wasn't the same the second time round. I had to admit, it was colderthe second time round.
I gasped for breath again when I hit the surface. How many more times am I going to do this? When I swam to the edge to get myself out I found the toad-like thing staring at me, its face mere centimeters away from mine. And so I did it again. I screamed. I backed away and splashed water onto it for the hell of it. Anything's better than nothing right? Unless the green blob absorbed water to make it more ugly. Uh… never mind that thought.
"Confounded human! Stop your splashing at once!" it demanded in a very authoritative voice. I stopped splashing and just stared at it from a good way away. It was soaked just like Rin was, not very soaked. Damn. I need some splashing lessons. "Get out here! Sesshomaru-sama's orders were for you to change kimonos. Do not be so stupid as to go against him!" it yelled.
Cautiously, I started my way out of the water. I didn't feel bad about disturbing it again. All my focus, to my horror, was on the talking blob. "W-Who are you?" I shivered.
He stared at me blankly for a moment before puffing out his chest in some sort of pride. "I am Master Jaken to you, mortal." He spat. "Sesshomaru-sama's loyal servant for over two hundred years."
I felt my eyes widen. Two hundred years? Wow! These guys were old. Then again, they didn't look old (except for thing in front of me). I know I'm human so I couldn't be any older than seventeen or so. I stared at it skeptically. "Are you a boy, girl or neither?" I asked curiously. That was rewarded by more shouts from the youkai and more questions from me. Yippee. I was having a blast.
-x-
Given the time, I would have killed the human before she uttered another word. But when Jaken arrived I thought through it first and found it would just have been a waste. She was intriguing and yet she was annoying. I didn't know whether it was worth it or not. Even when I held her life in my clawed hand she still looked down at me as her equal. She even had the nerve to narrow her eyes at my being. No one of her status would have dared done an act so disrespecting and challenging to my authority. If they did they would have predicted their deaths. But why didn't I kill her when she had done it? Simple. Because there was no need. It would have been a waste of my time and effort. That was also the reason why I tolerated her.
I did tell the truth when she asked me those questions. I didn't hate her nor did I care about her wellbeing. She was just there, a speck of dust in my life. She was not important. Just a form of entertainment.
She was not ready to go back to my half-breed brother and his companions. I still smelt the stench of illness hovering over her body and aura. In fact, as I watch them from a far, I would guess that she would catch a cold or fever. Jaken was not doing his job right. They were still yelling at each other while the miko was still unchanged and wet. No doubt will she catch an illness.
I stood there for awhile, just watching them with either of the two knowing about my presence. She sneezed. I smirked. It was amusing in a way. Rin suddenly came out and reminded her about her current state. I saw her cheeks darken with blood as she nodded and accepted the clothes that Jaken was holding for her.
With one last glance I took off at another direction. Not so far that I wouldn't know where or what she was doing. Just far enough so that her scent wasn't so strong. I needed to keep an eye out for her. The defiance in her eyes was surprising to say the least. She knew I would've killed her. She knew and yet she basically ordered me to. The spirit I've seen when she traveled with my half-brother was still burning in her eyes as if it hadn't changed. Such an unusual wench.
The day rolled on and I was getting slightly bored just standing there and watching their activities. They (Rin and the girl) were in the designated room I had chosen for her. It was an ordinary room, a guest room if you'd like. Rin continued to chat about everything that she found interesting and the miko just listened and nodded, speaking only when needed to.
I wondered how she could just sit there and listen to Rin's useless jabbering without going insane. Maybe she's immune to it because she already is mentally disabled. I haven't seen anything to prove otherwise. I wouldn't let Rin talk like that around my being. I'd either send her away or point out that she was talking too fast. It wasn't mean or harsh. It was just the truth. A child could not behave unless disciplined. Same goes for the miko. If she doesn't hold her tongue I will have to punish her in one way or the other. She could not show such disrespect for me.
After nightfall Rin yawned and Kagome ushered her to go sleep. She objected a few times, saying she wasn't sleepy but it finally got to her and she obliged reluctantly. I watched as Rin hugged Kagome around the waist and whispered what I thought was a goodnight. For some odd reason I felt a small tugging in my chest. She would never hug be like that. I mentally growled at myself. There was no need to want a child lay their dirty hands on me. What was this unwelcome emotion? Jealousy? Certainly not for something so petty.
She left the room and the miko stood there all alone. At first I thought she was going just stand there, staring at the door. But then she turned around and went for the other set of doors. She slid them open and leaned against the wooden rails. She looked at the moonlit pond and sighed, I guessed, was from exhaustion.
With a brief argument I decided to join her. There was nothing better to do anyway. I'd might as well have a verbal (or maybe physical) fight with her rather than bore myself to death just watching. When I landed beside her she gave a surprised squeak and turned to face me with wide, shocked eyes. When she saw it was me her face slowly turned neutral. I resisted a smirk. I wondered how long it would last.
"Sesshomaru." She said plainly. My eyes narrowed. Why had she not addressed me with the utmost respect I deserve? Instead of resisting a smirk, I resisted the urge to growl and hit her for her disrespect. She glanced at me as if I was not important and stared at the pond once more. To say this outraged me was an understatement. She was actually ignoring me, that little shrew. I couldn't even smell an ounce of fear on her at my presence. Even after our last encounter she still refuses to fear me.
"Miko, why are you outside?" I asked, I hoped, emotionlessly. If she thought that was a concerned question then she was wrong. I couldn't care less if she was killed tonight. I asked the question to simply question. I have the right to know.
She glanced at me again and I took satisfaction that I wasn't being ignored. "Why do you call me Miko?" she asked, ignoring my question. "That's not my name, last time I checked. You said my name was Kagome."
I stared at her with a very bored expression. Maybe I should have left her alone. That way I wouldn't have been answering all her idiotic questions. "Indeed, that is your name. However, miko is only a term for a female who holds spiritual power." I replied as simply as I could.
Looked like it wasn't simple enough since she stared at me with a blank expression. "What's spiritual power?" she asked dumbly.
I sighed lightly and closed my eyes. When I opened them again they were filled with the most patience I ever had. I turned around and stared at the pond, just like she was doing before I came. "Spiritual power is a pure energy source that could purify a demon at touch." I explained as slowly as I could.
"Why do I have them?" she asked.
"Because you were born with them." I almost snapped. Why was she asked such simple questions? If she actually thought about them I wager she could find out for herself.
"Then why do you call me miko? That isn't my name." she frowned. I could hear the annoyance and anger rising in her voice. I didn't answer. She already knew the answer because of her tone. It was because she was beneath me. I did not need to utter her name because I simply chose not to. I refuse to acknowledge her as one person because she hasn't done anything worthy of myself actually taking notice of her. Most of the things she has accomplished was sheer luck and hot-headedness. She hasn't done anything to be acknowledged as a person that was worthy of my notice. (A/N: Did that make sense?)
She glared at me then. I could feel it without even looking at her. She stared heatedly for a long time. For some reason her detesting look made me a little bit edgy. Slowly, with what I knew was a bored expression, I turned to face her. What I saw made me shocked even though I did not show it.
Her spiteful look was her own. I did not see any trace of Naraku's hold on her. But that wasn't what shocked him. It was that look in her eyes, the tears that swam inside her chocolate orbs that refused to come out. Why didn't they? I watched her as she blinked hard, trying to force the tears away. It worked slightly since there were less moisture in her eyes but not less vigor. "What ever you say, demon." she spat disgustingly.
My eyes widened in both shock and anger. What was she trying to show? Did she think that I was unworthy of her attention? That I was lower than her and therefore did not need to show respect? My vision flashed red for a moment and when they turned normal I was holding the miko by her throat. "Listen well, you disrespectful wench." I hissed as I glared fiercely at the struggling miko. "If you do not tame that tongue of yours I will be forced to rip it out, along with your throat." I growled.
She glared down at me, her tears coming back into her eyes. I didn't care though. Tears merely make me retch at the sight of it. I figured that anyone who cried in front of me was weak. "I'd like to see you try." She retorted, forcing the tears back in. "You said I was a miko and therefore I could purify you." She threatened.
I almost laughed at that. A miko? Able to purify my great demonic power? I did not believe that possible. Especially for an untrained child like herself. Instead, I settled for a cruel, detesting smirk. "Empty words, miko." I hissed angrily. "I do not appreciate lies." I stated as my grip on her gasping throat tightened.
Her hands shot up and grabbed the offending wrist, trying to pry them off. But her feeble human strength was no match for my own. I've had enough of this. My patience for this girl was running out quickly. She had disrespected me to such a level I could not overlook this. She needed to die. Who cared about seeing the look on my brother's face? I'd rather see her frightened, pleading look. It'll be more valuable and amusing. Tightening my vice grip on her throat, I gave her two last words. "Die, miko." Were the ones as I prepared to rip her throat out.
But then something happened. The small hands that had a hold of my wrist suddenly shined a light pink at the palms. Even though it such a faint and unruly glow it burned me like no other. I was forced to let go of her throat and retreat a step. I held out my damaged wrist and resisted a hiss. There were two handprints on my right wrists. They were burns, an imprint of the purifying energy she released into her hands. I stared at my wrist as if it was an unidentified item. It truly shocked me and I was sure that I let that show. This miko had let go her hidden, forgotten, spiritual powers in a life-threatening situation.
I regarded the hand carefully as I let it down by my side. I stared coldly down at her, sprawled across the floor, her once dangerous hands grasping her throat as she breathed in the cool night air around us. Her powers were not tainted. They were definitely pure or else it would not have harmed me like this. It was only a small glow but it burned me as if it were fire. If anymore was released I could not have predicted the damage it would have done. It was weak because she, herself, was weak. If she were fully recovered her power would have been at its peak. At least, that is my assumption.
So, if they were pure and untainted, then that would mean Naraku had no hold of her. No vile creature could harness the power of the pure. If they did, it would have turned tainted. I sensed no negative aura when her energy filed out. This was also an assumption. And because it's only a guess, I will not allow myself to be unguarded around her nor will I fully trust her.
She stood up a little bit shakily, using the wooden rails as support. Her fringe was covering her face, curtailing my vision from her expressive eyes. She continued to breathe in deeply, letting the air fill in her lungs and out. Her head slowly turned towards me, her dusky eyes making contact with mine.
What I thought I'd see in them was not there. I would have thought she was scared, frightened and very confused. Instead she was resistant, bold and foreboding. She felt like a vulnerable rabbit being cornered by a fox. She really was vulnerable under her exterior. She needed me. She had to trust me. She couldn't count on Rin to give her information because she hardly knows any. Same goes for Jaken. I'm the only one she knows that could help her out of her current amnesiac state. Without me, she is lost and completely helpless. It made me inwardly smirk that I had that kind of power over her. A very strong power.
Even though her eyes were threatening I knew she wouldn't harm me unless in the most desperate of situation. I decided to let her go for now. Maybe this game would be far more amusing than I previously thought it would be. I backed off, not literal in the sense. I made her know that I was not a threat by lowering my demonic aura around me. She would sense it instinctively. She would know that I was not a threat. At the moment.
By now, she had stood up straight, not needing any support for her to stand without fail. Her breathing was still deep and I could see the red markings on her throat that I have laid. "What?" she asked in a sort of raspy voice, not in the usual rebelling tone. "Changed your mind about killing me?" she asked bitterly. I never heard such a tone in her voice.
I didn't answer because the truth would just make her angrier. She was tired. I could see it in her eyes. There were still tears swimming around them and yet she still held them back. Why won't she cry? Well, why wouldn't she cry in front of me? I mentally smirked. This girl had more willpower and determination than I thought.
Suddenly, her legs started to give out as she swayed slightly on her feet. Her eyes started to droop and her aura started to grow weaker, retreat itself. Before she could fall I caught her by the waist. Her eyes were now fully closed and her body was limp. She was unconscious. She was more than just tired. She was exhausted.
With nothing better to do, I lifted her bridal style and slid the door open to her temporary room. I carefully put her down on the futon although there really wasn't any need to. I stared at her face. She was calm at the moment, no negative expression on her. She looked peaceful and yet I knew she wasn't. Inside there was a storm raging that I had no clue about. I can see it in her eyes.
My excitement for the day was over. I couldn't torment her in her sleep. I left the room, closing the door behind me, and stared at the pond she was gazing at before. Her slight illness was still there but for some reason it wouldn't go away as quickly as I presumed. Maybe Naraku's doing? I really had no clue.
I stared up towards the sky. It was almost a full moon. That miko would either cause a bunch of trouble or a bunch of amusement. I get the feeling that this rebellious wench would cause both.

Wow. I really didn't think it would turn out like that. Well, do you guys get it? You can see that this story will have a love/hate relationship. Aren't they the best? :) And I'm also having doubts about the categories for this story. Should it be a romance/drama or drama/humour or general/romance? I really have no clue! Can you guys help me out? It doesn't need to be any of the ones I mentioned. I'm just wondering if I put this story in the right categories. Please help me out!
Oh, and I've also noticed that I spelt Jaken wrong! How could you guys not tell me? I've always spelt Jaken with an r like Jarken. No one told me it was wrong! Oh well. Just wanted to point that out to the others who've spelt his name wrong! (Which is probably no one but me…)

lady fairy goth - Lol. Yes. I really won't answer all those questions! If so then I will be revealing something not even I know! Lol. It's true. No idea what's going to happen so if you're going to ask me what's going to happen in the future then I'll be as clueless as you! Ha. Thanks for reviewing!
Callie-yue Lost dreams - Lol. Thanks! And maybe you can help me with the categories (as stated as above)! I tried to put some humour into her but I'm not really sure that it worked. Can you please help? And thanks for reviewing! Really! Thanks!
Kagome2691 - LMAO! Your review was funny! I know, I'm nuts but it really was funny to me! Thanks for reviewing! Appreciate it lots!
