"LADY KANAME! PLEASE LET ME PROVE MYSELF TO YOU!"
I stared, pausing my pouring of sake for Sesshomaru, who had arrived halfway through the celebration as he had gotten bored, and blinked blankly down at Sayuri's kowtow'ed form on the dirt floor. Sesshomaru, Rin, and myself were seated upon a red platform that the villagers had set up for us, overlooking the whole celebration. The village elder, and the trainer's were seated to our right on a lower platform, while Jaken and senior apprentices sat to the left.
...This seems familiar. I thought with a slightly raised brow. I looked to my left and saw Sesshomaru also staring at Sayuri, a brow raised as he also seemed to remember an event just like this, before looking back on the girl.
"I SWEAR I CAN PROVE USEFUL!" she continued when I said nothing.
I rolled my eye's and continued the motion of pouring Sesshomaru his drink. "Oh? I dare say that you aren't very useful at all. After all, how useful can you be if you can't even care for my garden properly?" I stated through gritted teeth, because a few of my plants had suffered from lack of care, overgrown by weeds, and some dying from lack of water. Two very rare and expensive flower bushes that are used in curing demonic miasma poisoning were dead. I was lucky to get one of them from a demon's corpse, another I had to trade quite a lot to get my hands on. And now their gone. I thought with a click of my tongue. "What could you possibly do that would make me reconsider throwing you out of the village?"
"I KNOW HOW TO READ AND WRITE!" she stated.
I quirked a brow down at her. "...and how could a farm girl know how to read and write?"
"My mother use to work at the late lords home, as the Hime's personal caretaker, so she learned how to read and write from the Hime herself. In turn she taught me, so I would have a better chance of finding a husband." she explained.
"Hn..." I hummed, thinking on it. I could have her assist Kokoro in teaching the children to read and write. I mused, thinking of the benefits of having two people who knew the art spreading the knowledge around the village. But.. "If that is all you can offer, then I am afraid it is not enough." she was far too troublesome to keep around for only that.
"I know how to spin silk, sew clothing, and make hair ornaments to sell!" she said, finally turning her head up to face me.
"...How do you know to do all of that?"
"My family was fairly poor, and we needed money so we could survive the winter."
And oddly enough, it made sense to me that she picked up those skill's, she was desperate for money so she didn't care what she had to learn to get it. "Hn, even if you can do all of that, there is still the problem of your behavior."
"I-I'LL PUT UP WITH ANY FORM OF ETIQUETTE TRAINING NECESSARY!" she said desperately, all but groveling at the moment.
"Ho~?" I hummed. "And who would be putting up with teaching you? I will not be here long, for I only stopped by to check in and see how the village was doing. And as far as I know, most if not all of the villager's seem to dislike you." I sighed, because the village may be in need of those skill's. It never hurt to have more help somewhere in the village. "Seeing to the fact that you are no longer my apprentice, they really have no reason to even entertain the thought of helping you. Unless, of course, you can find someone who will."
"Mama~!" Rin called running towards our platform with a large grin. "Mama, look at the mask Rin got!" she exclaimed, holding up said mask. It was a fox, painted a bright yellow with cream around the eye-holes, it's nose and mouth a dark brown, and finally a dark brown crescent moon was on the forehead. "It has the same mark as papa does!" she said excitedly.
I chuckled, taking the mask from her outstretched hand and inspected it. "Why, yes, it does. It is a very beautiful mask, Rin." I complimented, showing Sesshomaru. "Do you not think so, my lord?"
"Hn." he agreed, looking the mask over before handing it back to her. She giggled, putting the mask on and running towards a group of children to play. "I am certain that you have your answer, girl." he stated, looking at Sayuri who flinched at the attention. "you've spewed what you wanted, received your answer, so I find there to be no more need for you to still be here."
She shifted on her spot, seeming not to know what to do, so I took pity on her. "Sayuri, that was a clear dismissal."
She blinked, "A-Ah, right...So, all I need is to find someone to teach me so I can continue to be your student?"
"No. I will no longer waste time on teaching you." I answered, making her face fall. "But, if you wish to remain in the village, then you need to prove useful. I am sure I could negotiate another contract with your village elder once it is complete." I mused. She seemed to have perked up on this as she hastily stood up, gave a quick thank you, before running off to find someone willing to put up with her.
"Awfully generous of you, seeing as you all but tore her to piece's just this morning." Sesshomaru noted, a brow raised slightly towards me in question of my actions. I smirked at him.
"Hm, yes...very generous of me to send my ex-apprentice out to find someone who will teach her in this village." I hummed, picking up a small treat from a plate and popping it into my mouth. "It's not like I just sent her out into the same village that find's her annoying, and will not let the chance of her kicked out the village pass by them or anything..." I trailed off, giving my lord an amused smile.
His lips twitched, letting out a huff of a laugh as he sipped his drink. "sneaky."
"Hn, no, just honest. I never said it had to be someone of the this village specifically." I chuckled, "It's no problem of mine if the girl didn't pick up on my hint."
He hummed in agreement. We fell into a delightful silence, watching the villager's enjoy themselves and party, the children running around carefree, the elder's basking and reminiscing, girl's and boy's working up the courage to ask another to dance with them, wives enjoying their husbands presence and so forth. I should find a way so mother, grandfather and Souta can cross the well. I mused, knowing they would enjoy spending time in the village. Father would have loved it here. I smiled at the thought of my father, enjoying my drink as I let the noise wash over me.
It was peaceful.
That was, until Sesshomaru opened his mouth, "Rin has come to me earlier and ask that I help you have another pup for her to look after."
I choked.
"W-What?" I asked, feeling my face flush red at what he said. He looked at me with a calm expression, but his eye's held amusement at my plight, along with that intense expression he gives me when we are alone together. "Oh...?"
He hummed, "Hn. She ask's that we make her a brother, but she was fine with a sister as well, and that we do what she ask's as soon as possible." his lip's quirked upwards. I could feel my face heating even more, along with a tingling sensation near my abdomen, the more he spoke.
"A-Ah, is that so." I stuttered slightly, embarrassed that Rin had actually done such a thing.
"Indeed, she seemed to hint at tonight being a fairly good night to do it." he actually chuckled as he leaned towards me. That look in his eye's intensifying, and pupils dilating, making my heart thrum wildly in my chest. I was sure he could hear it, our eye's never straying from one another.
I was certain that I was having a heart attack right about now.
We were only broken from out moment when the villager's start to quiet down. Blinking in confusion for a moment before gathering myself and looking around, Sesshomaru sitting back but much closer then he was before as his amber eye's stared towards the front of the village. I turned my eye's towards the main path that cut through the celebration towards us, following his gaze, and saw an unusual sight. It was a young girl, maybe about Kagome's age give or take a year, with long light brown hair that reached the small of her back, doe like crystal blue eye's, a straight narrow nose, full soft pink lips, heart shaped face and delicate features and wearing the most scandalous outfit I have ever seen next to my sister's school uniform. It looked like a butchered and scanty version of a miko outfit. The kimono had the sleeves and back cut out, showing her bare shoulder's and her whole unmarked back, the sleeves seemed to have been made to tie at the bicep's and flow freely. Her hakama was no better, as it was cut off just above her knees and showed too much leg to be appropriate. At her hip was a rusty katana, and her shoes were-
Are those sneaker's? I thought in bewilderment. Was this girl from my time? It would make sense since she has strong European features. Did she come through the well? I thought as the girl stopped in front of our platform. Now, what could she want? I mused, "What brings such a young girl to this village, by yourself may I add." I asked, eyeing her up and down. The girl didn't seem to hear what I asked, because she seemed very busy looking over my lord. You would have to be blind and stupid to not notice the lust and interest she seemed to take with him. I narrowed my eyes at her, feeling my reiki spike a fraction. "Are you deaf girl, answer the question!"
she started, jerking, as her blue eye's flickered over to me. Looking up and down, seeming to try and see something.
"A-Ah, sorry about that, I was a bit...distracted." she stated, an American accent coming from her lips.
That proves it, she is from beyond the well. Because it wasn't until years later until America forced trading open. "So I see." I stated dryly, making her shift in embarrassment. "What brings you here?"
"Ah, uhm, My name is Am- er- Mason, Amanda. I was actually passing through, exploring a bit when I found this path that lead here..." she said, trailing off as her eye's slid back towards Sesshomaru.
Hmp, another one of those silly girl's who will try and get his attention. "Nh, is that so?" she seemed to recognize Sesshomaru, as if she knew him himself, and not just heard of him from word of mouth. She's hiding something, I thought as I looked towards a pouch at her side, the glow of a jewel shard beaming at me. And it's not the shard she's hiding, she wants something with my lord. "Hn, It is getting late, and seeing as you are already here I suppose you may stay for the night." I decided, seeing her face light up while I narrowed my eye's at her. "But I will have to ask you to give me that jewel shard in your possession, it is starting to corrupt being in the presence of a normal mortal. And I know you are no miko, not only because no self respecting miko would wear such...clothes fit for a harlot, but because you have no reiki in you."
The girl, Amanda, tensed and palmed her little bag. She stared at me, suspicion in her eye's as she took a small step back. That made me huff in amusement, the fact that this untrained girl thought that she could get away from me, let alone the villager's, was hilarious. "you can purify the jewel shards?" she asked skeptically, as if it should be impossible that I could purify it.
"I do not appreciate that tone of yours, girl." I stated, "And of course I can purify the shard, I am a miko."
"How do I know I can trust you? I know that there are dark miko's out there, for all I know, you could be one of them." she said stubbornly.
At her little accusation the villager's started to scowl at her, shuffling from foot to foot, ready to throw her out if I said so.
"Mama isn't dark!" Rin yelled out, running from her group of playmates towards Sesshomaru and I. She threw herself on my lap and hugged my waist, as if it would protect me from Amanda's words. She frowned down at the girl, "Mama is a good person, mama took Rin in when Rin had no one else!"
"Thank you Rin." I mumbled, running a hand through her hair. I looked back at the girl who seemed gobsmacked as she stared at my daughter. I raised a brow at her, but she didn't seem to notice as she looked from Sesshomaru to Rin and then to me in confusion.
"A-Ah...S-Sorry..." she said in a daze, "But...M-Mama...?" she questioned as she pointed at Rin and myself.
"That is the term for mother, so yes, mama."
She seemed to have frozen as she stared with widened eye's at me, freezing in place as her finger twitched.
"...This was entertaining in the beginning, but now it's starting to get quite annoying." I said to Sesshomaru, petting Rin's hair as she seemed to be in winder as to why the girl had suddenly frozen.
"Hn," he hummed in agreement. "She has interesting features, along with an interesting name." he noted, giving a distasteful look towards her clothes.
"Well, she's American by the sound of her accent, so she must be from my time."
He grunted in curiosity, sharp eye's observing her as this was his first time seeing a different ethnicity in person. I had shown him pictures and video's (Which he was fascinated by) of other races, and he looked fairly bewildered by how different people could look depending on where their heritage came from along with who was their parents. I imagine that he was fairly curious to see European features up close so soon, especially when I told him it would not be for a long time until Japan – mostly he himself- was able to interact with foreigners.
"It seems any fool could use that well of yours." He commented, sipping his sake.
I hummed in response. "I am wondering how she got into the well house, if she did indeed use the well, because that is closed off to visitors of the shrine." I mused lightly before looking down at the girl. "Mason, I have given you an offer, now are you going to take it or are you going to leave this village tonight?" I said, snapping her out of her state. She frowned at me, clutching her bag more.
"I-I cannot give you this! I was planning on giving it to a certain priestess and her group for safe keeping, it's the whole reason I'm traveling."
we stared at one another, neither backing down as we both seemed to believe that we were right in their reasoning. I could see her fidget, and it didn't take long for her to look away. "Hn," I hummed, sipping my drink. I could always do something about it in the morning. I mused, "Alright, you may stay if you wish. I've spent enough time on you already, and we are suppose to be celebrating, so let us celebrate until you regret drinking so much in the morn!" I said lastly towards the village. I got cheer's and raised cup's in agreement, the music started to play again, the children went back to running around, and the villager's started to enjoy themselves again. Happy that they were cheerful again, I turned to one of the villager's, "Mako."
She paused in front of us, a new bottle of sake in her hand, "Yes, my lady?"
"Take the woman to the shrine, if you will, and make sure she is dressed properly." I said, gesturing towards the American. She blinks, looking down at her attire, then around and observing how all the other women were dressed. "I will be sure to burn it in the morning."
"Of course, my lady. Come now miss, let's get you situated in the shrine." she said, leading the girl away by the small of her back.
Amanda Mason was a regular girl in her own opinion.
She was the average female height in America, her mother's hair with her daddy's eye's. She knew she was pretty, she knew boy's wanted to date her, and she reveled in the fact that she wasn't second choice. Amanda was smart, top of her class, and was on track to being to graduate highschool a year or so earlier then her peers.
She had a fair amount of close friends, decently popular, and was from a well off middle class family. Most of her friends were made from the Anime and Manga club from school, because she loved the world of fantasy, to read about adventure and romance. The Inuyasha series was her all time favorite, she loved Kagome and how kind heart-ed she was, Loved Miroku's lecherous personality, Sango's strong and confident nature, shippo's innocence, Inuyasha's brash behavior.
But her favorite was Sesshomaru. He had been a pretty face when he was introduced, a bit of a jerk but she learned to love his character as she read. She had a crush on the fictional character, it only grew when she saw how he had saved Rin because it showed he did, in fact, have a soft side to his hard demeanor. Amanda had marveled how Sesshomaru changed from beginning to end. How he went from obsessing over Tetsusaiga, to not wanting it anymore and gaining his own sword.
Imagine her surprise when, one night alone at home, while re-watching the Inuyasha series the T.V. Seemed to have turned into a portal and spat her out in the middle of a forest.
She hadn't panicked (she read somewhere that panicking didn't help at all in these situations), instead she had quickly seen what she had on her person. She had nothing but her drawing pencil and an eraser. For three day's she had walked, hungry and thirsty, before stumbling onto a village.
A village. Not a town.
And not just any village, no not at all, but the village that Kagome and company stayed at for lengths of time. Meeting Kaede and finding out she was in the world of Inuyasha (Along with the sudden power to understand Japanese) was something she was not prepared for.
Honestly nothing could prepare her for that.
Of course, that actually explained the little glass shard she found embedded into her palm when she first woke up, and when she realized that it was a shard of the shikon jewel, well she had changed out of her dirty clothes, grabbed a sword, and tried to catch up to the group as they were only a day ahead of her. She really didn't think it was smart, but this was her chance to have an exciting adventure.
That lead to her being lost for two weeks as she had no idea where anything was, which lead her to here to this village.
….The village where Sesshomaru was currently residing in...
Didn't he hate humans besides Rin? She thought as she sat in the grass, observing the demon lord who she was fond of talking to a miko. It was the morning after she arrived, and she was curious as to what he was doing in this village. She was happy to have been able to meet her favored character, and was shocked to see how truly beautiful the lord was in person (The manga and show did no justice), she was sure that her face had went a deep red as she stared at him. Spotting Toukijin made her smile, because she now had a rough estimate as to when she was in the story. What's he doing talking to a priestess? She mused, looking at the young woman she had met last night, Rin next to her as they held hands.
The miko and Sesshomaru were walking around the village, it was easy to spot them from where she was sitting on the side of the hill. She was still trying to figure out why Rin had called the woman her 'Mama', because as far she knew Rin didn't have any living relatives. She really didn't know what to make of the miko, she wasn't very nice when they met, not like how miko's should be, and the villagers have been a little hostile towards her since yesterday- granted, it was probably not a good idea to even slightly accuse their miko of being dark.
Not one of her brightest moments...
I should apologize for that. She mused, noticing a young girl with brown hair and a determined expression go up to the two. She seemed to be asking her something, seeming unsuccessful as neither of the adults seemed to be listening to her, until the miko looked at her and nodded her head. Making the girl smile brightly and rush of down the street.
Later that day, Amanda was walking up to the shrine, looking for the miko so she could apologize. "This shrine isn't even that big, so where is she?" she muttered, only to stop when two children blocked her path. She blinked, noting their pointed ears and claws, "Demons?" she whispered to herself.
"Nope, we're only half demons!" the male said.
"And you're the rude human who insulted Kaname-sama!" the girl said with a frown.
There was only one person she had insulted so far, "Ah...I didn't mean to insult her, I was just being careful. I was actually looking for her to apologize for that, but I can't find her for some odd reason." she said with a sigh.
"That's because she's tending her garden with Lord Sesshomaru." the two said, pointing down the hall. "The garden is just outside her room, so it's no wonder you couldn't find her. No one, sans Rin-chan and His lordship are allowed inside."
Ah, so that's why I couldn't find her. Amanda thought, "Oh, well...Do you think it would be ok for me to go in? To apologize?" she questioned, making the twins look at one another and debate silently on what to do. So, she waited, because she had already spent so much time on trying to find the miko she figured she couldn't abandon it now. Especially since she learned that Sesshomaru was with her. What is he doing with her? She thought, he doesn't seem like the type to help with gardening. She was certain of that. Because this was Sesshomaru, she practically knew everything about him, researching forums and wiki's to learn everything about her favorite character.
"Ok." the twins said, bringing Amanda out of her thoughts. She smiled at them as they lead the way towards where Kaname was located.
"What are your names?" she questioned, Kaname, huh? She had the same name as Kaname Kuran from Vampire Knight. She mentally giggled to herself.
"I'm Toma."
"And I'm Toka."
They arrived, Toka sliding the door open and leading Amanda towards the open walkway outside. Kaname could be kneeling in front of an impressive garden, carefully trimming and spreading some fresh soil. She was in a flowing dark red yukata, golden and white flower patterns scattered near the hem, and her hair neatly styled and pinned in a bun with simple decorations. Rin was next to her, observing and occasionally pointing to one of the plants in question, and smiling at learning something new. The girl was wearing the standard Miko garb, her hair in a high tail, and the mask from the day before next to her crouched person. Sesshomaru was seated underneath a tree not far from them, his golden eye's trained on the two females of his pack, before flickering his gaze towards Amanda when he heard them coming towards them, then ignoring her presence as she wasn't deemed a threat to anyone.
"My lady~! The rude girl came to apologize to you~!" Toma and Toka said, all but skipping towards the miko.
Kaname paused in what she was doing, turning her head towards her with a faintly raised brow. "I see." she mumbled, knowing for a fact that Amanda wanted to do more then just apologize, before turning to the twins with a soft smile, "It seems things must be discussed between us, so why don't you take Rin with you and give her pointers on her barrier work? Get her caught up as much as possible so you three can be on the same level."
"Okay~!" they chorused as they each took Rin's hand and skipped inside.
"Hn..." Kaname hummed with a quirked smile, "There is no need to apologize. It was a valid reason to be wary as there are dark miko's out there." she said. "It also has occurred to me that I was quite rude yesterday, for I have not introduced myself to you properly. My name is Higurashi, Kaname and it is nice to meet you." she introduced herself, a small smile on her face before it fell at the look she was receiving form the girl.
Said girl looked shocked at Kaname. Higurashi? She thought numbly, Isn't that Kagome's last name? She looked at the miko closely, she didn't see much of a resemblance between the heroine and the young woman in front of her. It never said anything about Kagome having a sister, so was she one of the girls ancestors?
"Is there a reason you are gawking at me?" Kaname asked curiously. She really didn't know what to make of this girl who seemed to make the most interesting facial expressions around her. Maybe she is surprised to meet someone with a last name? She mused, because only the wealthy and those from a clan had a last name during this period if she remembered correctly. Such as the Oda clan, or her own clan (Who she would like to check up on, because they had a fairly big blank during this time period). Seeing as she is American and from the future, she must have been confused when no one ever gave out a last name. "A bug demon will make it's nest in your mouth if you keep it open like that."
Amanda snapped her mouth shut.
Strange girl.
