The Third Family
neko hanyou-ember dione- Here's the update!
love-bracelet123- It's the chapter you've been waiting for...
Mystic Bynd- {presses on button of new computer} Hey it still works! {puts fingers on key board. BUZZ! Owww. Okay. Yeah. Inuyasha! You're getting me a new computer!
Wolf of Fire- Clean up. I am NOT helping Inuyasha. Here's the update!
KG the oven mit fanatic- Now that I'm home and off that other computer your tent is on the moon right above Rin's head. It's floating. Maybe now you should move it. You don't want Rin to get hurt. How about the top left corner? That's above Sesshoumaru's head.
ZeldaAlly- No fighting in this chapter. Sorry Ally. :( It's sort of hard to look up to Shippo. He's so short!
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- I like the attack name! Well Kyo's going to get into a lot of trouble in the castle. {Grins evilly} So a new attack might be good. Thanks!
DarkPirate-510- And the grand finally of Inuyasha's ramen expirience is at the end of this chapter!
Lenipez sideshow- I think all the stuff Inuyasha's doing is enough. I think sitting him would be mean. I don't like mushrooms so no, I don't like mushroom ramen. I like original, oriental, shrimp, and chicken. Those are the ones I've tried. Who know? I might like more.
Cirrus- Update!
Dragon Man 180- Who knows. Probably no more than the one she just got.
MidniteStar7- Mikoto and Kyo aren't going to visit anytime soon, but Kagome and the others might.
ThunderingWolfDemonOfTheNight- {innocent laughing.} Meet Mikoto's parents?
After two more days of uneventful traveling we finally arrived at Mikoto's castle. "Looks impressive." I commented gazing up at the huge walls surrounding the huge castle. It was a classic Japanese style castle. Dark and forboding. To tell you the truth, I wasn't sure how I could live there at all.
"It is." Mikoto agreed. He helped me off Taoa and we walked to the huge doors in the wall. "Open up!" Mikoto called. A guard looked over the wall. "Who goes there?" he demanded. Mikoto looked up at him. "Is that you Master Mikoto?!" the guard exclaimed. "Of course it's me." he replied, "Now let me in. I haven't been home in a long time!" "You could say that." the guard mumbled. A second later the doors opened and we walked in.
I gasped in surprise. Sure, there was a rode leading to the stables and front door. That didn't surprise me. What I didn't expect was that instead of dirt or grass, the courtyard was full of any type of flower you could think of, and trees. Throughout the flowers and trees were walking paths with benches every once in a while.
"My mother was a bit of gardin fanatic." Mikoto explained dryly, "When she died father hired gardeners to keep it just as nice as she had, but it looks like he's gotten rid of a few of them. It's getting over run. "I think it looks fine." I replied. Mikoto laughed. "Now you can be the gardener of the family." he teased.
"Sure." I replied, "Why not." We pulled our packs off of Taoa so she could detransform. "You can leave them here." Mikoto told me, putting his bags on the ground. I did the same. Taoa turned little again and I picked her up. We started walking towards the front door, but before we could get there, it was pushed open and a girl a few years younger than me bolted out, hugging Mikoto tightly.
"You're back!" she exclaimed happily, "It's been so long! I missed you a whole lot!" I now got a good look at the girl. She had dirty blond hair ending two inches or so under her ears. The girl was my height. She was a full cat demon. I could smell it on her.
"Who's that?" I asked. No matter how badly I wanted to feel jelous, I wouldn't let myself be. Mikoto would have a logical answer to this. "This is my cousin, Kallani." he replied, "Kallani, this is my future mate, Kyo." Cousin. Okay. There was the logical answer. "Nice to meet you." I said politely. "You too." Kallani said grinning.
"Where can I find my father?" Mikoto asked Kallani, "Let me guess, in his study?" She looked down sadly. "I'm sorry." Kallani said softly, "He died. Almost a year ago now. But we couldn't find you to tell you." "You mean I'm the new Lord of the Northern Lands." Mikoto asked. I swear his eyes looked like they could pop out of his head. "Yeah." his cousin replied, "And I've been doing the job for you!"
"Okay, okay." Mikoto said rolling his eyes, "Is there a good bedroom that Kyo could have?" "Don't you want her... you know, in your room?" Kallani asked. I blushed. "Not for the first night." he replied, "I'll let her settle in first." Mikoto was too good for me. "The room next to yours is still a guest room." she replied, "Kyo could stay there." Mikoto nodded. "That sounds good." he said nodding.
"Well then let's show her!" Kallani exclaimed. She dragged both of us into the front hall of the castle. It was huge. Totally done in white marble and about two stories of open space above me. There was also a grand staircase done in white marble too. "Whoa." I commented. Mikoto laughed. "Yeah." he agreed, "It's breath taking at first, but you get used to it after awhile."
We went up the staircase and into a great big hallway. The floor was carpeted in a great big squishy red rug. The castle looked like a Japanese one from the outside, but it could have been an English one from the inside. "Here's your room!" Kallani said pushing a door open. I stepped into my room.
It was amazing. The floor was wooden, no carpet. But the walls were hung with tapistries of all sorts of scenes. The far wall was completely made out of windows and there was a futon right next to it. The room also held a writing desk and a closet. "Do you like it?" Mikoto asked. "It's perfect." I replied. "Good." Kallani said, "Well I've got work to do. Actually it's MIKOTO'S work, but oh well."
Clear Waters: now for the end of Inuyasha's ramen expirience!
Inuyasha: I already ate the ramen!
Clear Waters: Huh? How'd you make it?
Shippo: Oh Kagome felt bad for him and helped him finish it up.
Clear Waters: Darn it. Well, we'll just have to make him make some more next time, won't we? R&R everyone!
