White Snow
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.
Chapter 56: Curious Snow
The sun shown with the radiance of a settled spring. The flowers were now all in full bloom and giving the world the beauty that it had lost in the winter. All in the same a dark raven haired girl with a maroon kimono decorated in pink and red cherry blossoms on the bottom and dressed twinning to the side towards the obi with was a perfect pink with red cherry blossoms. The hem line of the kimono was pink.
She was smiling a little brightly as she continued to walk towards Oniko's for another class. For a reason that she was not accustomed to she was happy that yesterday she was able to train with Sesshomaru although it did end with him knowing that she had hugged him when he was really not asleep. But, she did not mind it one bit. She walked towards Oniko's with radiance around her.
When, she reached the hut that belonged to her teacher she entered with a friendly wave towards Oniko as she found a seat in the back far from the others. Making sure to keep her silence she had arrived late. Oniko had spoken of the meaning of the mid spring and what they would be doing. Starting tomorrow they will be practicing their abilities as miko's if they have the abilities to.
Looking around to make sure every girl had been paying attention and knew what she spoke of. With a small smile she dismissed them for the day. And then seated her in front of the fire pit. Oniko sighed to herself and then donned a look of loneliness and pain. Kagome slightly rose and crawled over to Oniko.
"Are you alright Oniko-sama?"
"I am fine Kagome thank you for asking."
"If you do not mind me asking….umm…Can you tell me who that Kagehiko man was?" Kagome asked innocently
Oniko smiled a small sad smile with down casted eyes. Kagome stared and waited patiently for her to reply to her question.
"He was a demon that was a rogue from his people. He then was found near a village that held a miko. He was attacked by the miko and was not killed every day he was outside the village sitting in a field of flowers. Day after day she would go out to check on the demon to make sure that he was not harming people that left the village or were coming into the village." Oniko started seeing Kagome's interest in the subject she then continued.
"From then on they grew accustomed to each other's presence. They then began to talk to one another; it soon grew to friendship and then something more than that." Oniko finished.
'So he was a lover.' Kagome thought to herself.
"Wow, if he was your lover then why did he cause you so much pain?" Kagome asked.
"I don't know, it's just one day he just left. I thought he left because I was a miko and he was a demon." Oniko finished.
Kagome then looked out towards the door. Turning her head towards Oniko when she said something.
" You best be going or you will be late." She advised.
Kagome thought nothing of the advice and decided to go ahead and leave. Giving Oniko a wave as she left the hut and towards the forest edge. Walking through she guided herself through to the center clearing where everything began. Seeing Sesshomaru she instantly knew that she was having more training.
But earlier she was abnormally curious about Oniko and Kagehiko's relationship which wasn't normal for her.
