'blah' thoughts

"blah" talk

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome couldn't beleive it. this wasn't supposed to happen to her. This doesn't happen to good people. But it was

happening. She was being married off to a rival kingdom to promote peace. She didn't want to marry Maten, he was a

disgusting toad-like youkai. His brother was worse though, because Hiten was even more murderous than Maten was.

No matter how she protested she was to marry one of them. Her father, Lord Higurashi, was only human and could not

protect his land against a youkai attack much less youkai as strong as the Thunder Brothers. So in the end she was going

to be given as a gift to be a peace offering. God, how she hated being treated as an object and not the person that she

was. So, against everyones orders she was running away. At that very moment she was packing and plotting, how she

would leave after dinner when no one would see her till dawn the next day at earliest, which would give her a good 8 to

12 hour head start. She would be farenough away by then that they would never catch her. She stole some clothes from

a male servant, so that she would be less likely to be attacked by bandits, unless for money, which she brought several

bags of but only tied one on her waist. The others she hid amongst her baggage. She had a pair of plain burlap pants,

beige cotton shirt that buttons up and was loose so it didn't show the existence of her breast, and a brown cap to hide

her weist length midnight black hair under. Everything was ready.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Whew that was good' she thought as she finished dressing in her begger clothes and grabbed her bag. She just finished

eating and was heading to the stable for her horse. Once she got there and found clover, who was a black mare with a

white clover shaped mark on her forehead, she mounted and rode off into the night towards the forest. 'I can't rest till

dawn or they will find me. I must hurry' she thought as she egged on clover to go faster. She contnued riding through

the night, even when she was so tired she almost fell off her horse. As the sun rose she neared a stream, with crystal

clear cool water. She stopped to rest and drink as well as rest ,water, and feed clover who had alredy started to graze.

'This is a good a place as any to rest. Plus a bath would be nice.' With this thought she slipped out of her clothes and

into the stream. 'oh this feels great.' she thought as she relaxed into the water. Unfortunatly she had no idea of the Inu

youkai a little ways off that smelled her as soon as she entered his territory. And boy was he angry.
