A Single Red Rose
Escape
It was a long fall. A -really- long fall. Feh, she was a youkai, she could make it, she hoped. All her brothers training would not go to waist, she would not be considered weak. Besides, what was the point of being taught how to fight if you were locked behind a high brick wall, to high for even her to jump? It was pointless, why let all those skills go to waist? She huffed slightly, pushing thick locks of silver-black hair off her shoulder, and adjusted the bag on her back as she moved into the windows ledge. She would go by way of the forest; the wall was shorter there since no one though any one would go through the youkai-infested forest to get to the castle. No one but her. She took a few deep breaths to relax herself before the leap to uncertain doom while chanting, to herself, a quiet mantra that was oddly doing her wonders.
"Oi, come on Kagome, you can do it. No one knows your plan." Her silver, but black tipped, dog like ears twitched a bit, listing for anything out of the ordinary. Considering she was full youkai she had the power to alter parts of her body, like make her ears as they were now which is how she liked them. She could do other things, weird things but cool things, that normal youkai couldn't or so Sesshoumaru told her. Shaking her head she took another deep breath and held it as she pushed herself out of her window and fell towards the ground. The only sounds she made were the soft ripple of clothing as the wind blew at it and the just as soft 'thump' of her feet as she landed.
She took no more than a second to glance around for anyone, or anything, that might spoil her getaway. Nothing. Yes! She was actually going to get away with it. A small, sinister, chuckle left her as she quickly and silently made her way towards the forest. This was almost too easy, but then again her brother never had guards patrolling the grounds, only watching the outer wall. To add to her good luck everyone, including Sesshoumaru, thought she was happy with her life here. Well, who wouldn't? She had everything any one would want, human and youkai alike. Silk cloths, plenty of land to roam-though she never did-, people that did everything for her when she let them, and an over protective brother. There was more but she didn't want to dwell on it. She wanted out and she wanted out now!
As she slipped into the forest she became more on guard. She knew what type of youkai resided there and how they were ruthless. She only had to keep moving at the speed that she was, which was pretty damn fast, and mask her sent from the hidden demons. One reason she hated this forest was because that the only sound that came from it was silence, unless some of the youkai were fighting or stalking something then, and only then, could one hear the slight rustle of a bush or a snap of a twig.
There! There it was! The wall that signified freedom! She would have screamed out a victory cheer but she was smarter than that, so she settled for the twitch of her ears and slight wag of her tail instead. (AN-Kagome is like Fluffy so she has that kinda tail but like her ears the tip is black) A few more paces and she was out. She gathered her speed and bunched the muscles in her legs, pushing off the ground when she was but a few feet away to leap over the wall. Once she was over it she induldged herself with a small, gleeful cheer.
Little did she know that three figures had been following her. "Should we go after her my lord?"
The tallest of the three shook his head. "No. Let her go. She will soon find out how tought the outside world is. Let her get a taste of it, she will come crawling back." With that all three figures waited untill the silver/black blur was out of sight before turing to head back to the castle.
