Night Rain
I do not own InuYasha. I do own the characters that were not in the anime and manga. Which are the ones of my own creation and imagination. As well as thanks to all my readers and reviewers that has continued to be patient. I will be updating regularly which is daily like I have been doing before school started again this year. As well, I am sorry for the wait, but I wanted to give you all a long chapter. Other than, internet needing to be paid and the very short writer's block I will be writing several chapters and posting them at the same time. I hope that this long chapter makes up for the six days that I had not been posting chapters I do apologize dearly for it.
Chapter 9: Training Rain
The outside light although it was cloudy with dark pale blue sky, was abnormally green in radiant light. The entirety of the lands were showered in pouring rain last night, the light today was sure proof of it. The sounds of whispering and giggling covered the grounds. Shuffling feet and the instructions of an elder youkai to young girl filled a wide room. The open windows and shutters let in the purity of the green light which illuminated the room in the radiance of an artificial sun.
The raven haired female, had a rag and bucket of water by the tail end of her silver kimono with black circles at the corners. Her brown eyes were trained on the elder youkai's form; she had a rag of her own and she was running it up and down and not in circles.
"Never go in circles or from left to right. Go north to south starting from the very far left end of the room." She advised as the young girl nodded her head.
"You may find it dangerous to run up and down with the rag but it is quicker. Though, considering whose charge you are under you are to not do that. Or try to refrain from doing that." She finished with one finger up next to her other arm which was tucked in her sleeve.
"Do you understand what to do?" she asked with her head tilted to the right side of her head.
The young girl squinted her eyes a little before nodding her head up in down in an affirmative yes. With a gentle smile the elder lady put her clawed hand on the girl's shoulders before turning around and leaving the room, so the girl could work. The room was becoming eerily quiet with the absence of the elder woman.
Kagome slowly turned around and walked towards the far end of the room. She was carrying with her the bucket of water and the rag that she was left with. When she made it to the far end of the room, she slowly turned and lowered herself to the floor along with her items. Kagome set the bucket and the rag down on either side of her. She slowly brought her hand with the rag to dip in the bucket of water. And she eased her way into the task that she was left with. Kagome allowed a small smile to creep on her features as she pushed the rash on the floor front and back. Slowly, itching her way forward, making sure to bring her bucket of water with her.
The light that shinned through the window started to dim and darken in color. The sun had already started to set like a dog hiding its head in its house. Rays of orange and red peered through on a little girl sleeping against the wall with a bucket of water and rag beside her and a done floor.
The door slid open to reveal the older woman as she looked around the room to see that the girl indeed paid attention to her. She smiled a little before seeing a patch of silver hair pass her and enter the room. She bowed to her waist and stood up to her full height before turning around and exiting the area.
The boy remained in the room for a while before he approached the girl and picked her up. With a gentle sigh he stood up and turned around slowly and, glided across the floor and towards the door.
"Such and over-working girl." He commented when he kicked the door closed.
His footstep echoed elegantly through the halls as he made his way to his room. His feet carried him to his room door, with the girl in his arms he had to open it with his foot. Entering the room he closed the door behind him with his foot and continued to walk further into the room and towards his former bed.
Sesshomaru slowly lowered himself to the bed and with one arm he pulled the sheets off. Then he gentle lifted the girl off his lap and placed her on the bed. He reached over her and then placed the covers over her body. He opened his eyes slightly, as it started to drizzle outside. He smiled slightly as he stood up to his full height, or tried to.
A few strands of his silver hair were caught in the girl's hands. His eyes widened slightly, when he tugged on his hair and it didn't budge out of her hands. She had a vice grip on his hair. With an elaborate sigh he placed himself on the bed outside of the covers and turned his back to her.
"If you wanted me to sleep closer to you all you had to do was ask." He spoke as his eyes closed.
