Water Works
Eleven year old Shourai Mizuko ran out of her apartment and towards school at an incredibly fast pace, her shoulder length, silvery blue hair flying out behind her. She was going to be late. But it seemed that wasn't bad enough. A foot shot out and Shourai went face first into the pavement.
"Look who's late to school." A boy said kicking her. "Please Anton, not today." Shourai said, picking up her school bag and attempting to stand back up. Anton pushed her back down.
"Me and the boys had a bad night yesterday." He said, six others surrounded her, "We need to blow off a little steam." The seven boys pulled her into an ally. Shourai scream was cut off by the first punch, but her clear blue eyes were still full of terror and her usual pale skin was paler than usual.
An hour later Shourai limped into her classroom. She sported a large black eye, a split lip, numerous cuts and bruises, and her ankle was most likely sprained. "Mizuko-chan!" the teacher exclaimed, "You're late!" Shourai bowed low. "I'm sorry sensei." She said, "I met up with An-" "I don't want to hear your excuses." The teacher snapped, "You'll be attending detention today. Take your seat now and open up your math book to page 234. You're interrupting class!"
Shourai sighed and sank into her seat in the back of the class. Only then did she notice that she didn't have her school bag with her. "Mizuko-chan! Didn't I tell you to open your book?" the teacher barked. "I-I don't have my books." Shourai replied sadly. "The rest of the week you'll be in detention!" the teacher said, "Don't forget your books again or the punishment will be worse." "Yes sensei." The girl said sadly.
Sesshoumaru looked over modern day Tokyo from his high rise penthouse. Fate had been good to him and he had survived to live in this time and be one of the richest men in Tokyo. Unfortuneatly for him, he had not been able to kill Inuyasha over the years. Sighing, the Tai Youkai pressed a button and Jaken, who had also survived the years with a little help, came in.
"What is it, milord?" he asked. "Do we have anymore information on that girl you keep on talking about?" Sesshoumaru asked. "The one that will stop the uprising of youkai and keep the humans in charge?" Jaken wondered. The lord nodded. "No milord." he said, "It's still just a tale."
"We need her." Sesshoumaru said, "As much as this Sesshoumaru hates to say it, humans are meant to rule this time, not youkais. The uprising in the south is growing larger and the lord there will not stop it. He is for it." "So you want me to find information on the girl from the legend?" Jaken asked. "Yes." he replied, "I have a feeling that she is in this time." Jaken hurried out of the room.
"Father?" a small voice said. Sesshoumaru turned to see a little girl standing in the door way. This was Sessha, his three year old daughter. She had been named after Sesshoumaru himself because she looked exactly like him. White hair, yellow eyes, a blue crescent moon on her forhead, and maroon stripes on her cheeks. Sessha was wearing a white kimono that made her look even smaller than she was.
"What is it, Sessha?" Sesshoumaru asked, "Shouldn't you be with your sensei, learning your letters and numbers?" "It's lunch time father." Sessha replied, "I wanted to spend it with you." She walked over to a corner of his office were there were a few picture books and toys.
Sessha's mother, Sesshoumaru's mate, had died giving birth to the young youkai. This had left Sesshoumaru to raise Sessha and Sasugo, their nine year old son, alone if you didn't count Jaken.
"What are you doing Father?" Sessha asked, looking up from her rag doll. "Your father is looking for a girl who can save lots of people." Sesshoumaru replied.
Clear Waters: This is the longest first chapter I've ever writen!
Inuyasha: Joy. Did you invite my bastard of a brother to talk at the end of this story too?
Sesshoumaru: Yes, Clear Waters did.
Inuyasha: Damn it.
Kagome: You guys should be happy! Maybe if you spend some time together, you'll bond.
Miroku: Their idea of bonding is destroying things while trying to kill each other.
Kagome: Good point.
Clear Waters: Well, if you guys want to do some 'bonding' do it outside and try not to destroy my house or my neighbors'.
Inuyasha: I can't promise you that.
Clear Waters: Well then just try not to damage them too badly. R&R everyone! You know the deal when I come out with a new story! Tell me EXACTLY what you think about it!! (mud splatters against the window.) I forgot about the mud again. -.-;
