ones I made up though.
Hi. You know what? I need to think of another opening! Well. . . I don't have very much to say right now except . . . except. . . here is chapter two I guess.
Sesshoumaru shook his head. He closed and opened his eyes quickly. Was it really. . . her!? Was he imagining things? He had thought she had died long ago. He quietly stepped from the bushes.
Upon seeing him the girl immediately stopped her golden stag. Her mouth dropped opened and her emerald eyes lit up. All at once her open mouth formed a smile and she jumped off her mount. "SESSHOUMARU!" she squealed. She ran up to him and, to his utter surprise and disgust, she hugged him.
"Yuamie" he said without interest.
"Aww Sesshie! I know that you've missed me!" she cried letting him go.
Sesshoumaru ignored her and looked up at her stag instead. His eyes narrowed and he growled a warning that clearly stated "if you come near me I shall hunt you down as prey."
The elk snorted and puffed up. His head rose high and he shook his massive antlers, antlers that could pierce the hide of a dragon.
Ignoring the silent battle raging between Sesshoumaru and Natsue, Yuamie spoke up, "So Sesshoumaru, I hear that you have a mate. Is she pretty?"
"Where did you hear that?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"From a very reliable source."
"If you must know, I have taken a mate. And in my opinion she is beautiful." having said this Sesshoumaru began to walk to his castle, completely expecting Yuamie to follow.
She did. She walked next to Sesshoumaru with her elk in tow. The youkai lord looked down at her expecting her to say something, but to his great surprise she stayed silent. Not wanting to break the quiet he took this time to look her over.
Yuamie was Sesshoumaru's cousin on his father's side and a cat youkai. Well. . . she wasn't a youkai at all, but something much more powerful. Her power level exceeded even Sesshoumaru's. In one simple blow she could kill him and thousands of others. But unlike Sesshoumaru, Yuamie used her powers to have a good time. She loved to laugh, especially at Sesshoumaru. He remembered times when she had visited his castle. Her older brothers would talk of business with his father and she would run around using her immense power for practical jokes, most of which performed on Sesshoumaru. She was sleek and quick. Her ears were that of cat's ears and she was owner of a magnificent, fiery, horse-like tail. She had vibrant emerald eyes that gleamed like stars, and she was very energetic. She was younger then Sesshoumaru, about fifteen years so, and she hadn't grown as much as he.
'She has grown though," he realized. He looked over her on a deeper level. Taking note of every little change, all of which, very subtle. She was older somehow, yet she looked the same. Her eyes seemed to have lost some of there childish innocence, yet it was still all there. There was no way to explain it. All that Sesshoumaru knew was that somehow, in some way he could not detect, Yuamie had matured.
Yuamie sighed for no apparent reason. She looked back at Natsue, who signaled something, then up at Sesshoumaru.
The youkai lord of the west knew that look. Somewhere in that mind of hers, Yuamie was planning something against him. He made himself ready for any thing she might try to do to him. He looked towards his castle to make it seem he didn't know what she was doing. He looked back at her through the corner of his eye, but realized that she was gone.
Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks. She would get him now. He didn't bother moving, it didn't matter. He could be invisible and still she would catch him. How he hated these games. He sighed and waited quietly for her attack.
It didn't come.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"
Sesshoumaru turned around to see Yuamie standing there, arms holding her heaving sides, trying to steady herself on Natsue, peals of laughter exploding from her widely open mouth.
"Oh my god! You should have seen the look on your face. Oh man! I really had you going!," she wiped a tear from her eye and tried to calm her laughing. She took a deep breath and appeared to stop, but her laughter burst from her, louder then before. "HAHAHAHAHAH! YOU REALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET YOU DIDN'T YOU? OH MAN! I AM SO GOOD AT THIS."
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and growled. Yuamie lost her grip on Natsue and fell on the floor trying to take deep breaths.
"Be thankful that you are my cousin. For had you not been I would have killed you for that."
"Aww! Come on. You know that my being your cousin had nothing to do with it."
Sesshoumaru looked away, pretending no to care.
"See! You wouldn't even dare try to kill me because you know that I would kick your ass! So there!" she retorted, standing up and calming down. She sighed and any sign the she had been in hysterics was wiped from her face.
Sesshoumaru had always wondered at her ability to that. Be one emotion one second and a completely different one the next. At the moment she appeared to be calm and collected, any passerby (if any would dare to come into Sesshoumaru's land that is) would think she was a calm graceful woman.
Sesshoumaru growled to himself and began his walk, which had become a slow trudge, back to his castle.
Yuamie hastily followed once again taking up her childish manner. She looked back at Natsue and smirked, then suddenly stopped. She raised an eyebrow as an oblivious Sesshoumaru kept on walking. She rolled her eyes, sighed and sat down.
Finally realizing that he was no longer being followed, Sesshoumaru stopped and turned around. He saw Yuamie sitting on the ground with her arms crossed. She had a look upon her face that told Sesshoumaru he should know what she was doing. He raised an eyebrow and was about to ask what it was that he was supposed to know, when it dawned on him.
"No" he said in a finalizing tone.
Had it been anyone else, that tone would have stopped any more argument, but Yuamie wasn't anyone else, Yuamie was Yuamie, and Yuamie always got her way when she set her heart on it.
"Why not!? You used to do it when we were younger!" she cried indignantly.
"Yes exactly, when we were younger. We are no longer children. How long has it been!? Haven't you grown out of it!? You're being foolish."
"Come on Sesshie. . ."
"Stop calling me that!"
"You used to not care. You've changed Sesshoumaru. You used to be fun! Perhaps I want to go home now!"
"Good I'll be rid of you."
Yuamie opened her mouth to say something, but she stopped short. Tears began to well up in her now auburn eyes and she looked up at him sadly.
He growled with frustration and turned around.
"Do you hate me that much? Oh Sesshoumaru I thought you liked having me around. I came all this way, and you know very well how far it is, just to see you and you turn me away." She said in a timid voice, "Your so mean! You were always mean!" her voice began to raise now, "you never wanted me around and you did everything you could to make me go away! I even remember the time you threw my stuffed animal into the lake and made me go get it! Now that I think of it, I don't know why I came. Your only mean to me!" she was screaming now.
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and sighed, "I never threw your stuffed animal into the lake," he said quietly.
"I know!" she said suddenly appearing in front of him, a large smile playing on her lips, and her eyes back to their true color, emerald.
'Just another of her tricks' Sesshoumaru thought. "Don't do that"
"Do what?"
"Change your eye color like that." He said, deciding to let the fact that she had tricked him again go.
"But it's fun. Oh well I wont do it any more. And I won't play tricks on your mate either k?"
"Good, now can we just go to that castle?"
"Sure you don't have to use your beast from to carry me either."
"All right. Now, please, come on. I expect you are going to stay here?"
"Of course."
'I'm sure Satsuna will enjoy her company' Sesshoumaru resolutely thought to himself, but deep down he knew that he had missed his cousin, and had been shocked when he thought she died.
Together they walked into the castle courtyard with Natsue still in tow. Yuamie looked around in awe. Though not as large as her immense palace that made up the Imperial city back home, Sesshoumaru's castle had a calm, homey effect that Yuamie's seemed to lack. She took in the scents of the many flowers in the gardens nearby, and sighed. She always liked going to visit her cousin, and the fact that his house was always so nice and neat and unfull of creatures coming and going, was just a huge plus. She looked up at the castle that was about thirty feet in front of her. It was so small, in Yuamie's opinion at least, which helped the cozy look. She smiled, as she felt the lush green grass under her toes and took in the scents of the people residing there. She wondered of the old servants would remember her.
Suddenly Yuamie remembered something. She sniffed at the air, trying to find any sign of Sesshoumaru's mate. There were faint scents here and there, but, know that Sesshoumaru wouldn't want her to, Yuamie didn't follow them.
Together they kept on walking and together they entered the castle. Inside Yuamie was shocked to find that most of the beloved furniture had been replaced. Also there were no servants to be seen. It wasn't that lavishly covered castle anymore. No it was Sesshoumaru's boring, depressing little place (with no servants to practice scaring). Yuamie stifled an ironic laugh, it fit him perfectly. A few pictures hung on the wall and here and there (this is what surprised Yuamie that most) you would be able to find little vases of flowers. She assumed that these flowers came from the garden. But who had picked them? Certainly not the servants that were nowhere to be seen, and certainly not Sesshoumaru.
Yuamie once again caught the scent of whom she assumed was Sesshoumaru's mate and the scent seemed to be coming nearer. She also caught the scent of something else. It smelled old and decrepit.
All of a sudden a little toad-like creature came out of nowhere and eagerly addressed Sesshoumaru, in the most annoying voice Yuamie had ever heard.
'What the hell is that!?' she thought to herself, but then suddenly had the most tantalizing though.
"Oh S-Sesshoumaru-sama! Sat. . ." but Jaken never got to finish because Yuamie had him under her claws.
"Caught it!" she announced triumphantly.
Jaken's head pooped out from underneath her paws and he screamed. "OH! Sesshoumaru-sama! Please help me!"
Yuamie laughed and tried to bite him.
"Yuamie stop. That is Jaken, not prey, although he is worthy of such a title, he is my servant."
Yuamie grudgingly threw him aside, "he smelled funky anyway." She got up and crossed her arms as she wrinkled her nose at Jaken, who was trying to get back on his feet.
"Sesshoumaru!" a woman screamed from across the room.
Yuamie quickly realized that whomever she had scented earlier had just entered the room. 'Good,' she thought, 'I finally get to meet her!'
Satsuna walked up to Sesshoumaru and placed a light kiss on his cheek.
Yuamie's mouth gaped open as she watched Sesshoumaru do nothing about it. She scooted quietly away from her cousin, but quickly scooted back as she realized she was getting closer to Jaken.
Suddenly, Yuamie raised an eyebrow at a new scent. She looked in the direction that it was coming from and realized that it was coming from Satsuna. She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to decipher what it was, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She looked this woman up and down, then sighed. 'I'll just ask Natsue later,' she thought then winked at Natsue, who was in a human-like for at the moment, to indicate that she had something to tell him.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" a child, a little younger then Yuamie appeared to be, screamed.
Yuamie's eyes widened and her mouth gaped larger then before as the child, let alone a human one, hugged Sesshoumaru and again he did nothing about it. Yuamie looked up at the woman and realized that she too was human. She figured that this one was his mate, but what about the child? And Sesshoumaru with a human!? Why it was absurd. Sesshoumaru hated humans.
"Who's this," Sesshoumaru's mate said smiling at Yuamie.
'I like her' Yuamie silently decided.
"Satsuna this is my cousin, Yuamie. Yuamie this is my mate, Satsuna," he said putting his arm around the woman, "and this is Rin," he said looking at the girl.
"Hi" was all Yuamie said, and Sesshoumaru suddenly became worried, for Yuamie never only said 'hi' when she met someone.
Hi what did you think? Well tell me when you review. Um I cant do review responses right now cause I'm at a friends house and I she's getting on my case about it so I'll do it next chapter. It might take a while though cause me computer is broken, and I mean broken, (we have to get a new one.) Well see you next chapter.
Hi. You know what? I need to think of another opening! Well. . . I don't have very much to say right now except . . . except. . . here is chapter two I guess.
Sesshoumaru shook his head. He closed and opened his eyes quickly. Was it really. . . her!? Was he imagining things? He had thought she had died long ago. He quietly stepped from the bushes.
Upon seeing him the girl immediately stopped her golden stag. Her mouth dropped opened and her emerald eyes lit up. All at once her open mouth formed a smile and she jumped off her mount. "SESSHOUMARU!" she squealed. She ran up to him and, to his utter surprise and disgust, she hugged him.
"Yuamie" he said without interest.
"Aww Sesshie! I know that you've missed me!" she cried letting him go.
Sesshoumaru ignored her and looked up at her stag instead. His eyes narrowed and he growled a warning that clearly stated "if you come near me I shall hunt you down as prey."
The elk snorted and puffed up. His head rose high and he shook his massive antlers, antlers that could pierce the hide of a dragon.
Ignoring the silent battle raging between Sesshoumaru and Natsue, Yuamie spoke up, "So Sesshoumaru, I hear that you have a mate. Is she pretty?"
"Where did you hear that?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"From a very reliable source."
"If you must know, I have taken a mate. And in my opinion she is beautiful." having said this Sesshoumaru began to walk to his castle, completely expecting Yuamie to follow.
She did. She walked next to Sesshoumaru with her elk in tow. The youkai lord looked down at her expecting her to say something, but to his great surprise she stayed silent. Not wanting to break the quiet he took this time to look her over.

"Stop calling me that!"
"You used to not care. You've changed Sesshoumaru. You used to be fun! Perhaps I want to go home now!"
"Good I'll be rid of you."
Yuamie opened her mouth to say something, but she stopped short. Tears began to well up in her now auburn eyes and she looked up at him sadly.
He growled with frustration and turned around.

'Just another of her tricks' Sesshoumaru thought. "Don't do that"
"Do what?"
"Change your eye color like that." He said, deciding to let the fact that she had tricked him again go.
"But it's fun. Oh well I wont do it any more. And I won't play tricks on your mate either k?"
"Good, now can we just go to that castle?"
"Sure you don't have to use your beast from to carry me either."
"All right. Now, please, come on. I expect you are going to stay here?"
"Of course."
'I'm sure Satsuna will enjoy her company' Sesshoumaru resolutely thought to himself, but deep down he knew that he had missed his cousin, and had been shocked when he thought she died.
