AN: Okay, here's the real story.
Chapter 1
They're slowly creeping this way. They think they can surprise me. Laughable. They
sound like elephants marching across squeaky floors. They're almost here now. Slowly,
slowly.......
"BOO!" I yell sitting up on my bed. My little brothers fall over themselves running
away. I laugh out loud at their antics.
I yawn and stretch. The sun's up....better help with breakfast.
**************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
When I get downstairs I see my brothers already there. The little twins were sitting at the
table, waiting for their food.
No matter what mood I'm in, my brothers always manage to bring a smile to my face.
Still little more than pups, the twins were small and chubby and adorable. They had large
golden eyes that seemed to almost not fit in their faces. Their flowing hair was the same
color as their father's. They smiled identical little smiles with identical little fangs. I
smiled at them and went to get them breakfast.
I've been told that the twins are the spitting image of our Uncle Inuyasha. Right down to
the ears sticking out of their hair. My mother named my brother Inuyasha for him. The
other one she named Shippou. The twins usually led them into more trouble than they
could get out of. But no matter what they did, everyone loved them. It would be
impossible not to love them.
Not like me......
Where my brothers' hair is soft and fair, mine is as dark as midnight. Where their eyes
are a shining gold, mine are as black as my hair. Next to their golden tanned skin, I look
all the more pale.
I don't have a winning personality. People do not love me. They instinctually avoid me.
Because of my father.......
"KIRI!" Inuyasha called, saving me from my own morbid thoughts. "I'm HUNGRY!"
"Ssshhh Yash." I chastised. "You'll wake the whole kingdom!"
"Yeah, Yashi, quiet." Shippou taunted, using Inuyasha's nickname.
"Do NOT call me that!"
"Yashi, Yashi!" Shippou taunted.
With that Inuyasha tackled Shippou, sending them both flying, as they wrestled around.
"Hey, what's going on here?"
We all turned to look as the Lord and Lady of the house came in.
"Good morning Mother." Shippou called cheerfully, jumping into her arms.
"Shippou called me Yashi!" Inuyasha cried, hugging his father tightly.
My mother looked at me, an eyebrow raised. I just shrugged. It happened every
morning.
**************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
The water of the little streams burbles at my feet. After breakfast I had gone out to get
some water and sort my thoughts. I dropped my little pitcher next to the stream and
plopped down onto a bed of moss.
From the beginning Mother told me that Sesshoumaru was not my real father. A human
boy filled me in on my real father when I was smaller. I've come to think of
Sesshoumaru as my father, but unfortunately no one else has. That's why I stay in our
castle, preferring my family to the hate and fear I get from strangers.
"Kiri?" I hear a soft voice call. I turn to see Sesshoumaru.
"Is something bothering you?" He asked.
I just look at him, not ready to tell the truth, but not willing to lie.
"You know," he said, realizing my distress. "I think you take after your mother."
I smiled. He knew exactly what I was feeling. I throw one last glace at the stream and
then turn to follow him home.
AN: Sorry this is so boring, I just wanted you to meet the characters and see what's
bothering Kiri a little. The next chapter will be better, promise!
