A/N-Don't know what to say…;;;
Thanks for Reviewing!:
Pinklily-XD you should know me by now, I always put words in a totally different contentBlackPhoenix-sama-lol it's ok. Pointing out stuff is good for me. It's kinda like a third world in which the story takes place. But a bunch of these math formulas and knowledge were discovered way back into the past. So shrugs Basically they live in Feudal Ages but have some present age knowledge.
Kin103-lol, I'm just happy I'm getting reviews! Oh well, even though I'm not getting a lot more than this, I'll still write the story.
My Life's Story
Chapter Three
"How dare you," each and every word hissed out of her trembling body. She glanced at Inuyasha before turning her attention back to me.
"How dare you bring it into this village?! Especially after the fire that consumed half your family, a family that taught you to not interact with the Forbidden Ones!" The priestess was turning livid and pointed at him. "IT is not suppose to come anywhere near, let alone, into this village!"
I was at a lost for words. She had never hit anyone, and believed that everyone had an explanation for whatever action they had done. This Priestess, who I had lived with my all life, had slapped me. Noone had ever done that, not even Mama when I was toying with her patience.
"Prudence!" Grandpap's voice sounded anything but strong next to her. They had been best friends for ages, and this was probably the first time he had seen her hit someone, too.
"I'm perfectly sure that um…Inuyasha won't attack this village," he said as he tried to soothe her. For 30 years of her life, she had protected this village with her guidance and no demons whatsoever attacked ever since she became the priestess.
I can't blame her…Thoughts echoed inside my head, and I bitterly thrust them away. How could I have been so stupid?! No matter how nice Inuyasha is, he's still a Forbidden One. And that means he's a danger to all of us…
"How will you know? It's mind is apt to change within minutes, turning from friend to foe. Haven't you heard the countless wars Forbidden Ones have fought?! And within their own clans, too!" her voice snapped back.
Silence enveloped all of us.
I turned my head around, and said in a whisper, "You better go now, Inuyasha".
He had been cracking his knuckles the entire time, but he had stopped. His face turned redder than that of Prudence's.
"Hey, wench! Tell that chi of yours to stuff it. She doesn't have any right to talk about my people and me. Besides, the ungrateful chi is talking about civil wars, huh? Well how about this? Civil wars occur amongst you humans, too! So chi, you shouldn't be freakin' talking about something you don't know shit about!"
I gaped. Talk like that was prohibited form being mentioned.
He turned around, and leapt out of the village. Everyone started to talk at once, while Priestess Prudence still bore holes into me. Grandpap stood near, staring nervously.
A few hours Later
I lay down on the tatami mat Prudence had prepared for my grandpap and I. My back ached. The tatami mat at home wasn't so hard and firm, due to years of use.
The priestess's hut was the only one with separate rooms, so I could hear my grandpap coughing through the thin walls.
"Here, Kiyo, drink this."
Another fit of coughing burst before it quieted down.
"Th-thank you, Prudence. What's in this?"
"Some herbs to help that lungs of yours. You must have breathed in too much smoke."
"I know, but I just had to run in. I could hear Niete and Souta calling for help."
Poor grandpap's coughs came back.
"Kiyo, are you sure you're fine?"
"Yes, I am. Now tell me, how was my family's hut set on fire?"
"Well, it looks like someone set it on fire intentionally."
I heard my grandpap begin to gasp for breath before coughing again.
"Drink this, Kiyo. I don't know why anyone in the village would do that, to you especially. Everyone loved Niete very much."
"Do you think it's someone from the village?"
"No. Absolutely not. I had seen to everyone at that time. They were all busy with their own work before running at the scent of smoke."
I turned around to face the tatami mat, no matter how much it stung my face. Tears ran down my face as I stifled sobs. It's not fair…why Mama and Souta…why?
The next Morning
I woke up early, and walked quietly out of the hut. It was beautiful morning, all but for the sight of charred wood. The villagers that were out of their huts looked at me warily, glancing at me while working on their early morning jobs.
I was aware of their eyes on my back, and I was cautious of every step I made that day.
It isn't, and will never be, to feel like one wrong step you make, dozens of people will start accusing you of something you'd never do.
I walked out of the gates to inspect the Higurashi land, carrying along with me a pocketful of clover seeds and a long rake and a small shovel. The northern part of the land had turned useless, too dry on normal and hot days and too muddy on rainy days. Thus, there was the use of clover.
The northern parts of the property edged near the woods, a wooden fence to keep out animals. But it for sure didn't keep out the Forbidden Ones.
Inuyasha sat on the boundary marker, swinging his legs to and fro. I was surprised. I thought with the whole scene yesterday, he'd never again show his face anywhere near here.
"Why are you here?" I asked, walking up to him.
"Well, I figured if there weren't any KEEP OUT signs, then I could come here," he replied nonchalantly.
I huffed. Geez, can't I ask one little question without getting a scorned reply?
"Humph, well I'm so sorry for not putting up any KEEP OUT signs, I'll keep that in mind the next time I come up here," I said shortly.
Inuyasha ignored me, eyeing the tools I was holding.
"You're gonna plant? All by yourself?"
I shrugged. "Yes, so? It's just some clover seeds to replenish the ground here." I stamped my foot, indicating how hard it was, even for spring.
He eyed the tools once more before jumping off the fence and offering, more like stating, "Give me those."
I reluctantly handed them over.
Inuyasha's not that bad. The stories I've heard about Forbidden Ones sound so…exaggerated. If all of them were like Inuyasha, then I see nothing to be afraid about. I thought, watching the demon rake deeply in the earth, tilling it.
The northern part of the land stretched on for about 2 acres, give or take. The total area of the Higurashi plot was only 8 acres, but the village didn't have much to spare around.
Inuyasha finished those two acres in neat, straight rows; talking half the time it would have taken me. I began to walk towards him, showing him a handful of the seeds. He eyed them like he did the tools.
"These are the clover seeds. Just kind of sprinkle them into the tilled parts and brush the dirt over so it'll cover them," I instructed.
He nodded before starting at the end of the tilled fields while I started at the parts closest to the gates.
A month followed, each and everyday similar to the one I had. I'd meet him at a part of the land, and together, we'd watch the crops and tend to them. Oddly, he always seemed to know where the next part of the land I'd go would be.
Well, noone found out about Inuyasha and I working and talking with one another-at least, not until the day grandpap died.
Chi-chief, or head, of a village or tribe.
A/N-That's all for the third chapter. I had to retype it twice, changing my mind what would happen and what would not. Please review!
And this might be the last chapter for about a week and a half. I have a social studies state test on June 2nd and 3rd and a Spanish proficiency exam up to the 11th.
