musubi - rice ball (eventhough it's triangular), usually has a plum thingy called an ume, in the middle, with seaweed wrapped around the rice.
oi - hey! (usually said by males)

Xiaolin opened her eyes slowly. She had expected to see the inside of her hut that her family had made in China. Li would be practicing hard to get a higher rank while Chang pestered him. Mother would be cooking a soup for breakfast and Father would be making arts to sell in the market. What she saw was nothing like it, Japanese soldiers were eating musubi and drinking tea. The geography and smell somehow seemed different. Her eyes discovered the land, this wasn't China, it was Japan! She gasped, but no sound came out, she looked down and saw that she was bound by rope and her mouth was covered with a cloth. Instincts caused her to squirm around, the youkai noticed heard her movement and some soldiers decided to "greet" her.
"Oi! The beauty has woken up!" yelled one demon to his comrades. They caressed her skin, touched her in inappropriate places and cooed her. Xiaolin was getting both mad and scared. Would they rape her? Would they kill her? Malicious thoughts ran through her mind on ways for revenge. A wolf youkai had untied the cloth covering her mouth and ran his fingers on her lips. She took advantage of the youkai's mistake and bit his fingers.
The angry wolf slapped her across the face. "Stupid BITCH!" he yelled. After a few more minutes of humiliation for Xiaolin, the general appeared to his army.
"Boys, what's going on here?" he asked irritably.
One soldier fell into place bowing low, "Boss, the girl has woken up! We were just inspecting her."
"Yes I can see that, but not in the way that I would have you," he said parting the mass of soldiers as he made his way through the horny youkai. He walked towards Xiaolin and inspected her (in a non-perverted way!) Her hair was messy from the night before. Her once flawless skin was covered in dirt and her eyes were red and tear-stained.
"Hmm, we can't present you to the Lord like this, when we get to the castle we will prepare you for him," the general said mumbling to himself. Xiaolin just stood there with a bored look crossed with annoyance on her face. The rest of the army just stood there not knowing what to do.
"What are you fools doing!?" the general snapped, "let's get to the castle for the victory party!!"
The army bowed in unison, "hai, General Yamashiro!" They all ran in different directions and began doing their duties. It was just then Xiaolin realized that Kwok, Li and Chang were no where to be found. Her eyes glanced the area, but found no sign of them.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In a castle in the western part of Japan was where the demon, Lord Inutaisho resided with his second wife, Aiko, a human, whom is his second wife. Aiko is a kind-hearted woman who cares very deeply for Lord Inutaisho regardless of their differences. The youngest son, Inuyasha was born of Aiko. Inuyasha is a rebellious and stubborn hanyou who likes to get into fights and disobey the proper ways of being a prince. The Lord's oldest son, Sesshoumaru was born of the Lord's first wife, Chizu.
There wasn't much to say about Sesshoumaru except that he was really anti-social. Rather than meet people, he would keep to himself and practice his fighting techniques. Although many people talked a lot of gossip about him, no one would dare say it to his face, fighting all day all the time will obviously make you a good fighter. He was probably more feared than his father, Sesshoumaru had no emotions to show, which would make him scary. People think that not even the Lord himself has seen him smile. Many villagers feared the day he would take over.
Sesshoumaru's father was kind and treated even the human villagers with respect. Sesshoumaru hated humans with a deep passion, even half humans such as Inuyasha. By this information, you can tell they don't really get along, in fact, not at all. The only similarities these two share is that they both resemble their father at different moods. Inuyasha, when the Lord is acting stubborn, angry or foolish and Sesshoumaru when he is being serene and cold.
The castle was a buzz making food, creating decorations, music, etc. for the victory party. The Western Land Army had successfully invaded China and had destroyed a village that had allies to some of the most powerful youkai in China who were trying to take over Japan. They destroyed a few lesser villages in the process which they would be punished for later. All in all, they had given the youkai a fair warning and had learned some of their military planning. Inuyasha was sitting at a table playing with a little flower watching everyone fuss over every little detail. His maid Kagome had joined in the festivities with the other maids. This bored Inuyasha greatly, eventhough Kagome was a maid, she was his best friend. Kagome noticed his boredom went to talk to him.
"Nee, Inuyasha? Why don't you help me set up some stuff hm?" Kagome said sweetly.
"Feh," was Inuyasha's response as he tossed the flower aside and followed Kagome.
Sesshoumaru watched Inuyasha as he helped Kagome. 'Weak,' he thought. Emotions are weak, he could tell that Inuyasha had feelings for Kagome, it was obvious. Kagome had been a long-time maid of Inuyasha, since they were kids in fact. Kagome's mother was a maid of his mothers, then was transferred to Inuyasha's mother. A few years later Inuyasha was born, then a year later Kagome was born. Since Kagome was old enough to serve, she had been serving Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru continued to watch the useless efforts of humans to bring forth happiness. 'Happiness?' thought Sesshoumaru smirking, 'no such thing.'
"Interested in anything Sesshoumaru?" questioned his father behind him.
Sesshoumaru turned to look at his father to answer, a form of respect, "No, Father, there is nothing interesting about humans and their ways" . The Lord frowned at this, he had been trying to get Sesshoumaru to be kinder to humans considering he's married to one.
"Are you in the least bit excited about the party?" asked the Lord hopefully.
Sesshoumaru huffed and crossed his arms, "must I really go father?"
"Son," said the Lord wrapping his arm around his shoulder, "one day you will be the ruler of these lands, I would like you to see your future subjects."
"If you wish for my presence, I shall be there," said Sesshoumaru giving in.
The Lord pulled his arm away, "Thank you Sesshoumaru. Well, you better get ready, the party shall be starting in a few hours." The Lord walked to his quarters where he would get ready for his appearance at the festivities. Sesshoumaru followed him, but made a right turn to his room where he would take a quick shower and get ready to please his father.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Get up girl!" commanded a youkai while kicking at Xiaolin's stomach. Xiaolin stood up proudly showing that they could treat her poorly as much as they wanted. The youkai gave her a disgusted look, grabbed her wrist and brought her to one of the secret passages into the castle. They couldn't bring Xiaolin to the front, everyone was preparing for the party. Plus, Xiaolin was supposed to be a "surprise" along with all the other Chinese nick-nacks and gadgets. He brought her to a shower room for the servants and maids began to work on her. They bathed her and washed her hair roughly. Xiaolin winced at pangs of pain.
After the bath, they insisted to paint her face Japanese-style, but after squirming and throwing make-up items the maids got the idea that she would do it herself. She had put on eyeliner and painted her lips pinkish and refused to turn her tanned skin to pale white with powder. Next, Xiaolin styled her hair to the way her mother used to for formal occasions. She sectioned her hair into two parts and took one section, twisted her hair to make a bun on the higher part of her head with a few strands sticking out in the middle and repeated with the other side. The other maids gasped at her style, it was not normal, but it was very beautiful and very exotic.
The maids put her into a short, red, silk, sleeve-less Chinese dress with yellow embroidery and fastenings at the left side of her chest. Xiaolin didn't like this dress, it showed too much skin and looked a little slutty, but she was forced to wear it none-the-less. The same youkai that brought her to the wash room, took her away and they walked through a maze of rooms.
The process had taken some time and the festival was about to start in an hour. First the guests would eat and then a ceremony would be held. Everyone hustled to get to where she was supposed to be, but she did not pay attention. Xiaolin's mind kept going to the whereabouts of Kwok, Li and Chang. She began to worry about the three immensely. She arrived in a small cramped room with others knocked out and wearing cloaks. The soldier tied her hands and legs to the platform the other unknown people. Then he left, closed the door behind him which made the room extremely dark that she could not see one thing.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By the time the feast was almost over, Sesshoumaru had already grown tired of all the "excitement." He sat on his throne with the rest of the family except Inuyasha who was chatting with Kagome, Miroku, a religious soldier and a family friend of the Inutaisho family and Sango, a girl who came from a family of ninjas and blacksmiths and eventually became those. Sango was invited into the castle after Lord Inutaisho found out about what had happened to her village. Later she became one of the castle's royal blacksmiths. Lord Inutaisho noticed his son yawning and laughed.
"Tired Sesshoumaru?" laughed Lord Inutaisho.
"Hai, this is most uneventful," Sesshoumaru said bluntly.
Lord Inutaisho raised his eyebrow, "Are you still mad that you couldn't go with the army? It's not a war Sesshoumaru, there was no need for blood-shed." Sesshoumaru didn't care, the best way to conquer something was to kill the strong and take advantage on the week. Why should he care if a lowly human dies?
"Well, we shall let the ceremony start before you fall asleep Sesshoumaru," said the Lord and clapped his hands. Music sounded, drums banged and whistles tooted, which signaled the start of the ceremony. First, a commander said a speech on how well they did on their invasion and also, the negative points. When the speech was over, Inuyasha had to slap himself to stay up. Aiko laughed at her son. Lord Inutaisho smiled. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes with disgust. General Yamashiro walked up in front of everyone and began to speak.
"Good afternoon, Japanese citizens! On our trip to China we have brought back some goods from villages and markets as presents to the royal family." shouted the general so that everyone could hear. After the line was done everyone clapped for honor of the royal family. Then the general continued.
"We have brought back gold, gems, pottery, art and spices. Each item was help by a soldier and was placed in front of the family. Everyone gasped and cheered over the Chinese craftsmanship.
The general held up his hands signaling silence and continued.
"We also have more gifts for our family," smiled the general as the platform with four people in cloaks, covering their faces, was rolled in between the crowd and the royal family.
"First, we have a soldier from the Imperial China Army," said Yamashiro pulling of the first man with a cloak. It was Li, he was tied and had a covering over his mouth and kept struggling to get free. The guests booed and shouted insults at him which only made him more mad.
"Second, is a village boy who can fight very well and can maybe teach our army a few things," joked the general while pulling off Kwok's cloak. Many of the attendants laughed. Kwok was very confused, he still did not understand Japanese.
"Next, is a little boy, around 8 or 9 who is very skilled in magic." stated the general as he pulled the oversized cloak off Chang. Like his brother, he was fighting his bindings, trying to remember a spell to untie the knots in the rope constricting him.
The general smiled at the last hooded cloak. "And finally, this is a present for the Inutaisho family, a new maid, concubine or whatever you please, I think unveiling her will say it all." The general unveiled Xiaolin and revealed one of the prettiest girls Sesshoumaru had ever seen. His eyes widened when he saw her and he didn't feel bored anymore.
'Finally those idiots did something right!' thought Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru knew she was his, Inuyasha already had a maid and the Lord had so many he couldn't remember them all, and Aiko just plainly had too many. Sesshoumaru smirked at the Chinese girl, she was struggling the most out of all of them. He could sense that this girl was a rebel and stubborn just like his dear brother.
Sesshoumaru grinned evilly, 'this is going to be too much fun.'
