Whew... finally have an update... well, it is because of this: my computer
had hardrive troubles, and had to be completely wiped clean. So, all
stories lost. I finally got the thing fixed, so now I can start again.
Problem: I don't know what I was doing with my story. I am going from
scratch, so don't blame me for mistakes in the plot, I will read over them.
Also, speaking of mistakes, the only word processor I have on my computer
now is Wordpad. That means so spell-check. So, I am doing my best to check
my own work as I go. (a pretty hard task..^^)
Okay then, this should be chapter 5, right?
Sesshomauru sat in the study of his castle, skimming through one of the scripts kept there. He was tired of these sudden memories, and wanted to find a clue to how he could stop them, or at least control when they occured. He was perplexed by the magic that must control them, and wondered what being could possibly have gathered such a force into such a plant.
A small specimen of the dark roses sat on his desk, eerily glowing. He refrianed from looking directly at them, for he knew he would fall into another memory if he did.
"Yamiko," he said, as one of his servants entered the room. A bat youkai with long, purple hair, she seemed to be the only one of his charges that could be fully trusted.
"I would appreciate it if you would take these blooms out once again. Same place as last time." he said, handing her the vase that contained the dark flowers.
He had repeatedly sent her out to countless villages, to see if she could find information on the magical flowers. She was the only one, besides Jakken, that Sesshoumaru had revealed the effect of the roses to. She was to keep it a secret, for if word of this ever got out, he knew enemy youkai would try to use them as an advantage, say, in battle.
"Yes, mi'lord. I will depart immediately." she said, leaving the room through an open window. He followed her to the windowsill, watching her form fly off, outlined by her large, webbed wings. Dusk was quickly approaching, the time when he should leave to patrol the lands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
A hooded figure walked out from the brush, carrying a bundle of flowers. A strand of white hair fell from under the hood, but was quickly retucked by a small, transluent hand. Nearing the castle, the person looked up, hood trained on the window were Sesshoumaru stood. Slowly, the figure began approaching the castle, passing by the guards as if they did not see. After the figure had passed, the guards fell to the groud, their eyes blank. Something flashed in the dimming light, becoming hidden in the swirling cloak of the intruder.
Sesshoumaru looked up, sensing weak youki nearing the fortress. Yet, as he looked around, he could not see nor scent out any intruder...and besides, would the guards not have alerted him to the presence of an unknown youkai in the castle grounds?
He turned from the window, and walked briskly down the corridors of the castle, coming to a halt at the main doors. He threw them open, and was suddenly blinded by a flash of white light. His soul seeming to escape him, he fell to the ground just outside the doors.
The hooded figure drew up an unkown object into it's robes, and proceeded to lift the Tai-youkai's body over it's shoulder. For being only the size of a small ningen child, the figure was easliy able to carry him away.
Into the darkness, the hooded stranger fled, over one shoulder the lifeless body of Sesshoumaru, while in the other hand holding the dark roses. Fleeing into the brush, strands of pristine white hair were left behind, both from captor and captive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Aww, man, that is such a short chapter... gomen nasai, minna-san.... I just don't haev spare time tonight to add more... T.T Tell you what, I will try to have an update by next Monday or Tuesday. (Sept. 22 or 23, I think) I promise to make it an EXTTRRAAA long chappie when the upate comes, okay?? Oh, and all 3 of my other stories have been updated, if you were not aware of that. So, go read them in the mean time. I highly recommend A Kitsune's Wish, it has 13 chappies, and is my best story so far!! Again, I beg all of you to forgive me, and hope to have a chapter up in less than a week. Oh, and I dare you all to review, and guess the character that is, well, hooded. REVIEW!!! (btw... go to A Kitsnue's Wish chappie 13 for a REALLY funny short story at the end....^^)
