"Slave! Wake up!" It was morning and Sesshoumaru found his master standing
over him and shouting at him to get up.
"Yes, master," Sesshoumaru obeyed his master and stood up.
"Stand up straight, and take that dirty old shirt off!"
"Yes, master," he unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, feeling a cool
breeze on his back, playing with his hair.
"Are you hungry?" asked his master waving a fresh baked loaf of bread."
"Yes, Master," Sesshoumaru replied truthfully, he hadn't had food for
almost two days now.
"Well," his master put the loaf of bread back in his pack, "If you get sold
today I shall give you food."
Sesshoumaru started thinking longingly for food, but he knew his chances
for getting sold were slim, as not very many people wanted inu-youkais, at
least around these parts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Today's a nice bright sunny morning,- thought Arai as she peered out the
window, -perfect for buying an inu-
She dressed out of her work clothes and into her daily clothes, then
sprinted down the stairs, she had better hurry, as she had a customer
coming at eight.. She had a quick lunch that consisted of a fresh green
apple, a couple cookies, and a glass of milk, and then rushed out the door.
While hurrying down the street she ran into a tall man with long black hair, "Sorry," she said politely stepping past the man. "Quite alright," said the man in a cold voice that gave Arai the creeps. As she walked away she noticed the man watching her, and once out of his line of sight broke into a run. -Man, was that guy ever creepy- she thought slowing to a walking pace as she neared the store, -I sensed youkai in him, but I don't think he's a full youkai, he's not powerful enough; he must be a hanyou.- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That smell... it seems... familiar... yet not. It smells like... his half-brother... yet... like... him. -What in seven hells is going on?!- Thought the confused inu-youkai -That smell is my half-brother, yet me at the same time, how can this be?! The easiest way to figure out what the smell is, is to follow it.- He followed the smell for about an hour, until he came to a large mansion. He went up and rang the doorbell. A female youkai came to the door and started to say, "Master is not home right now-" but cut off when she saw Inuyasha. -That's odd, is this a mirror? ...No, it can't be, she's, well, a she.- Inuyasha thought looking at an almost mirror image of himself. The girl looked exactly like him, only female. "What's going on here?" A monk, in his late teens, early twenties by the looks of him walked up. "Mi- Miroku?" said the now very confused Inuyasha. "How do you know my name?" "It's me, Inuyasha." "Inuyasha... Inuyasha, nope doesn't ring a bell, sorry." "We hunted for jewel shards together, don't you remember?" "Jewel shards? What are you talking about?" "Four-hundred years ago-" he began but was cut short by Miroku. "Wait, wait, wait, hold on, four-hundred byears/b ago?" "Yes, four-hundred years ago we, as in you, Sango, Kirara, Shippou, Kagome, and I were searching for the shikan-no-tama, to find it before Naraku, so that we would be able to kill him." "What's this about Shippou and Kagome, who are they, and what is the shikan- no-tama, and why would bI/b want to kill Naraku?" "Shippou was a kitsune, and Kagome was the reincarnation of Kikyo. The shikan-no-tama is the jewel of four souls in which can give human and demon alike new powers. The reason you wanted to kill Naraku is because of the wind-tunnel he cursed you with." he said wondering why in seven hells he was explaining this to someone who had traveled with him for almost two years. "Wind-tunnel? What is a wind-tunnel?" "This!" Said Inuyasha, starting to get irritated and grabbed Miroku's hand to show him what was under the cloth, to reveal... nothing? "Where'd it go?!" said Inuyasha flipping Miroku's hand over. "I think you should leave now," said Miroku pulling his hand away from Inuyasha. "Sarah, show out guest to the exit." "Yes, master," said the almost mirror image of Inuyasha, who had just been watching the conversation intently. She grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and pulled him to the exit.
