ch.1- Pressure from the lords
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and co. This goes for all my chapters, so I will not write it again, ok.
Kagome sighed as she sank into the warm water of the spring.' How am I gonna do this...Sesshomaru hates his brother, and he wouldn't do anything to help him.This is going to be very hard.'
Aki jumped into the water and mewed in delight. Kagome smiled at the cat and giggled slightly."You're the first cat I've ever seen that achually likes the water."Aki gave another mew and climbed atop a rock, laying down on it, and enjoying the warmth it gave off.
Kagome dug in her bag and pulled out her shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, which smelled of milk and honey.
"Do you want me to wash you with this conditioner?"Kagome asked Aki, speaking to her as if she was human.
Aki gave a sweet meow and jumped over to her, landing on another, more slippery rock.The cat slipped right off the rock and fell into the water with a big splash.
Kagome laughed as the poor cat crawled back up onto the rock, soaking wet. Her fur was stuck to her small body, and she glared at Kagome.
This only caused Kagome's laughter to increase drastically, and she dropped her supplies on the shore."You're such a cute firecat, Aki."
--Kagome went on with her bath, never once forgetting about the wounded Inuyasha back at the hut.----
---Sesshomaru----
Sesshomaru sat at the head of a long table, the other lords and ladies around him. Lord Ataru turned to Sesshomaru and stated in an all-knowing voice,"Sesshomaru-sama, I, and the rest of the lords, believe it is long past time for you to find a mate. You have put it off for far too long."
Sesshomaru glared at Ataru and responded coldly,"Although it seems quite logical for all the lords to already have a mate, I do not need such a thing."
Lord Sharru spoke next, his demanding voice echoing off the walls of the large room."Sesshomaru-sama, you should have already had a mate a long time ago. You need to have a heir to the throne, ready to take over at any time."
The whole room was suddenly filled with the voices of all the lords and ladies, arguing about Sesshomaru's lack of a mate.
Lord Tsune spoke calmly, quieting the room, for he was the oldest and wisest of all the lords."I have read Lord Inutaisho's will, and he had clearly stated that you find a mate as soon as possible. Now, Lord Sesshomaru, do you not believe it right to fulfill your fathers last wishes?"
Sesshomaru growled and stood, exiting the room gracefully, only leaving behind a few words. "We shall see what happens."The room once again came alive with the lords and ladies words, debating over whether or not Sesshomaru was going to find a mate.
Sesshomaru mounted the dragon Aun Oon(sp. Any of you know how to write it correctly?) and pulled on it's reins, informing him that he wanted to go. The two-headed dragon flew into the air quickly, disappearing into the sky, and leaving Tsune's castle.
(Ok, I couldn't figure out a place to put their descriptions, so I'm going to put them here, k?The descriptions might be long, though.)
North:
Lord Ataru and Lady Hakari are mates with a son and a daughter. Ataru has short snow white hair and crystal blue eyes. He's very well built and quite strong.He is also very kind, unlike the lord of the South.A tail much like Kougas', except white, can also be found. On both their foreheads is a flaming blue arrow, the sign of the North.
Hakari is a sweet woman with long, waist-length, red hair. Her eyes are a fiery pink, and always seem to shine in defiance. She's only a foot or two shorter than her mate.A fluffy red tail falls behind her, slightly touching the ground. Atoru is a white Ookami youkai, while Hakari is a fire/neko youkai.(Red panther tribe is her original home)
Their son is Keitoru and their daughter is Sha-nay-nay, however, they simply call her Shay for short. Keitoru is 17, and is quite a handsome boy. He has short white hair and ice blue eyes.His face is long and thin, and his body is well built. He's a cheerful boy who likes to joke around a lot. He's somewhat of a lecher, but in a battle, he's very serious. To show he's the heir of the North, he also has the flaming blue sword on his forehead, as well as a lone white stripe on his right cheek. His sister is 15, with long red hair a lot like her mothers, only, 3 thick strands of white fall in front of her beautiful green/blue eyes.A fluffy red tail, usually wrapped around her waist or left loosly behind her, could also be found. Her eyes hold the same defiance as her mothers do, but, nonetheless, shes kind, yet not too social.
East:
Lord Tsune and Lady Keara own the East. Tsune is a very wise and respectful lord, however, he and his mate are quite old, having kept the throne for 800 years. Soon, his son will be taking over as the new lord. Tsune is not wrinkled at all, despite his age.Many that see him think he is a new, young lord.(Do demons even get wrinkled??") He has long blue hair the reaches his waist. He often wears a black tie around his forehead, keeping the hair out of his face and also giving him a more serene look.The black tie is tied in the back and the strips of black hang down, blending into his hair. (Is that hard to understand??) His eyes shine in a brillant mass of silver and blue.
Keara is also still very beautiful. She has shoulder-length Pink hair and deep green eyes. She is always easy to get along with and enjoys to be in the company of others. A long, thin pink tail hangs behind her. Both youkai are a mix of Leapord/Tiger/Inu.
Tsune and Keara have 2 sons. Their first born, Keichi, is to be the new lord.19 years old in human years. He is in training to be the new lord, and when he completes his training, his father will give the throne to him. Keichi is a friendly youkai, but he also has a bad side that many do not ever want to see.He has long blue hair that he keeps tied up in a high ponytail.(Like Suicoyomaru, the bat demon from Inuyasha--mated with a human.) He has forest green eyes and a long blue tail. Keichi doesn't like humans or hanyou, all the other lords are the same way.
Their other son, Akuro, is a much sweeter boy, having been raised by his aunt, Mariumeanaka(Meanaka), who lived with humans and hanyou alike. All were disgusted by the boy when he came back to Tsune with the belief that all were equal, even the humans. Akuro has short crystallized blue hair, tied by the same tie as his father, only, his bangs fall over it. His eyes are silver/blue, and his face always appears kind, no matter how badly he is beaten by the other lords for believing what he does. Akuro is not very popular with any of the lords, but is still kept by his fathers side. Akuro once heard his father deny he was his real son, however, he still smiles. (The sign of the East is a cracked full moon. This is found on Tsune, Keara, and Keichi's foreheads)
South:
Lord Sharru and Lady Melrose own the Southern lands. They only have a daughter. This causes complications for the two because they need a son to be there to take the throne one day. They are trying to get another baby, but Melrose has lost her ability to give birth to any other children. So they decided to allow their daughter to be the heir, as long as she is able to fight in order to keep the lands.
Sharru is a very demanding lord, and is somewhat ignorant. He will not take no for an answer and will bother you until you give in. His personality is good though. Like the others, he hates humans and hanyous and respects Tsune and Keara. He has chestnut brown hair that is tied in a low ponytail and blue/grey eyes. He is very well built and is always able to fight, in any condition. On his forehead, a burning leaf is found, signalizing he is the lord of the South. Across his left cheek is 1 single blue stripe. He is a purebred Kougor(Sp) youkai.
Melrose is nothhing like her mate, calm and patient, loving and trustworthy. She is a very kind woman and claims she doesn't mind to be in the company of humans or hanyou. The other lords accept this fact, but dislike the woman for it. Melrose, however, is unfased by the complaints that humans are weak and unworthy of even a glance and continues to associate with the humans and hanyou. She has shoulder-length pink hair, usually tied up in a high bun, but sometimes let loose to fall over her shoulders. Her eyes are midnight blue, lined in gold.She is a thin girl that can fight, despite her appearance. She specializes in the art of hand to hand combat and sword fighting. A strong sword can always be found tied to her waist. She is a Flower/Wolf youkai. She, too, has a burning leaf on her forehead.
Their daughter is also a kind and loving child, believing that humans and hanyou are easier to talk to than the other demon lords. She even accepts the putred stench that plagues most of the humans. She goes by the name Miayu. She looks more like her mother than her father. She has pink waist length hair, usually tied up into pigtails by black ribbons. This is a very cute look for her and most males have requested to become her mate, however, she said no to them all. Unlike her parents, she has a long thin tail. Close to the end of her tail is a bell, tied on by a beautiful black ribbon. She has 2 stripes on each cheek and the burning leaf is found on her forehead, telling others she was chosen to be the heir of the South. She contains mostly Flower genes in her, but also kougor/wolf.
(Finally!!!! Im done!! yay. were my descriptions good enough? hope so.)
Back to the Story!!!YAY!!!!!!
Kagome sighed as she came to another clearing. She turned her gaze to Aki and smiled nervously. "Uh...do you know where we are?" Aki looked up at Kagome and shook her head 'no'. Kagome sighed again and made a silent wish that cats could talk.
Kagome gasped as Aki disappeared into a large cloud of white fog. In only seconds, the fog disappeared and a large fluffy white firecat even bigger than Kilala stood in Aki's place. "Oh wow...you're pretty big, aren't you? I forgot all firecats could transform...Well I feel dum."
Aki made a whining noise and crouched low to the ground. Kagome understood and climbed onto her back quickly, setting her arrows and backpack in her lap, being careful not to poke Aki with one of the arrows.
Kagome almost fell off Aki when she took off very quickly. "Oh my gosh!!!!!!! You're a lot faster than Kilala too. You could've warned me first..."Kagome whined. Aki simply gave a loud growl/purr and continued to fly off towards the sun.
"Do you even know where you are going?" Kagome became very silent when a feminine voice answered her question in her mind.'I have no clue where Im going, but I figure that if I just fly in a direction, something will tell me where I am. I grew up with humans and dont know the lands.'
Kagome sighed and agreed silently in her mind. A telepathic firecat? Now that was something very new to her. She'd have to be careful, Aki might be able to read her mind also. What if she was having her 'bad girl' thoughts again and Aki was listening?
Kagome looked to the sky before her and saw something very big in the distance. "What is that Aki?" Aki growled and slowed down just a bit. It was obvious she didn't know either. As they got closer, Kagome could make out the form of a teenage boy on top of some kind of creature.
Suddenly, the creature turned to her and Aki, its blood red eyes locking Aki in some kind of trance. "Aki? Aki?!?! Are you ok?" Kagome yelled when Aki stopped in midair. Aki didn't answer and Kagome grew worried.
Then, the creature flew towards Kagome slowly, glaring at Kagome the whole time. By instinct, Kagome strung one of her arrows and aimed it at the beast, forgetting all about the boy on its back. This was a mistake she'd never forget, for as soon as she pulled the arrow back and the pink aura consumed it, the boy launched off the beast and tackled Kagome.
They both began falling to the ground, Kagome's bow and arrow dropping in a different spot than where she was to land. The boy tried to escape from Kagome's grasp, but she refused to let go and he tumbled down with her.....
A/n:
I think I'll stop there. Is my story good or should I just abandon it? I know they are out of character, but I am not the one who created the series and the characters, so deal with it I guess. I forgot to put the Disclaimer on my 1st chapter, so I put it on this one. And the votes are in and its a Kag/Sess! One person voted for Kag/Keyest and gave me a very very good idea that I may use in a later story.Thanks Rowen- I would also like to thank waterdragonmaster,as well as all the others who reviewed, for the idea! I will probably alter it a bit, but thats ok, right?
Review responces for this chapter are going to be delayed, sorry! but I do remember 1 question asked:
Is that a real herb?
No, its not a real herb name, but I have heard of a herb with a lime green stem and white leaves, as well as blood red roots. Im sorry, but I dont recall its name.
