Kijustsu no Senyo
Author's Note- Been a while, hasn't it? Sorry everyone! Here's the next chapter. I hope you like it.
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- It doesn't matter how many times I hear great story. It makes me feel good to hear that someone likes my stories
And on a random note, has anyone heard the song Such Great Heights by The Postal Service? If you haven't I suggest you listen. It's GREAT! Sorta reminds me of a high tech version of Inuyasha. I put the lyrics below so you understand. I'll put more comintary underneith the lyrics.
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'Come down now,' but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
Now that I read over the lyrics it's not as close a match as I first thought butthere's still a few things. The first thing Ihave to comment on is the puzzle piece part. Is it just me or do Inuyasha and Kagome sort of complete each other? Like what Inuyasha doesn't have, Kagome has, but what Kagome doesn't have, Inuyasha does. Did that make any sense?
Secondlydon't even try to tell me that Inuyasha doesn't miss Kagome todeath when she's away. We all know that he does. And I justlove that little thing about hearing the song on the radio! It's sorta likehow most of the time thinking of Inuyasha makes Kagome smile when she's away. Most of the time.
And my last note, the whole thing about waving from such great heights. It reminds me of Kagome and Inuyasha together in a tree together. And most things do look perfect from far away.
Three days after Lausanne's attempted escape from Ah-Un she was well enough to walk by herself again. With this Sesshoumaru could no longer keep her under his control and grudgingly, in his own special way, gave up.Lausanne was given permission to ride Moonshadow and move around as she willed again.
Of course the first thing Rin asked Lausanne to do when they stopped that night wasteach her to make a kimono. Laughing,Lausanne nodded. "Ofcourse I'll help you."shesaid, looking into her bag and pulling out the cloth they had bought for the kimono.
"Thank you so much Lausanne-san!" Rin exclaimed, "Rin's going to have so much fun!"
The two worked together quickly. By the time Lausanne decided it was timefor Rin to go to sleep, the kimono was cut out and small bits of it were sewn. Lausanne looked down at the stitches Rin had contributed to the kimono and sighed. They were good for a first try. Verygood in fact, but they still wouldn't hold it together very will. With a bit of guilt, the elf pulled out her student's stitches and resewed the part they had worked on.
"You are very good to Rin." Sesshoumaru commented.
"Why do you say that?" Lausanne asked, not looking up from her work.
"You knew that her sewing would not be good enough to use on her first try yet you allow her to sew her own kimono."
"I do." Lausanne agreed, "There is no better way to learn something like sewing than to keep on practicing on something that needs to be done. My mother taught me to sew this way. I believe it works."
"Perhaps it does." Sesshoumaru replied, "I have never sewn in the many years I have lived."
Lausanne finally looked up. "This concept does not just apply to sewing." she commented, looking the taiyoukai in the eye. "You have learned to write deeds to land and treaties have you not?"
"It is required for my position." he answered.
"And how did you learn?"
"I wrote them for my father, using examples he gave me."
Lausanne nodded in satisfaction. "It is the samething." she said, "I gave Rin examples of sewing and she went from there. As you practiced you became better I presume, so will Rin."
The elf put her sewing back into her bag and stood up slowly. "There is a hot springnear here." she told him, "I believe a soak would do me good."
Sesshoumaru nodded.
The hot springs were farther away than Lausanne had thought. By the time she arrived, she was just about ready to collapse. Luckily she didn't. Pulling off her dress and placing it on a rock near the springs, Lausanne slipped into the water. It felt nice against her skin. She looked around the spring. It was a strange shape. It seemed to curve around a clump of trees. 'A mini peninsula." Lausanne thought smiling. 'You don't see something like that everyday.
In the silence she heard the murmur of voices from the other side of the trees. She identified them as two woman and a young boy. 'Locals?' Lausanne thought to herself 'But they sound so familiar!' Curiosity getting the best of her, the elf swam around the clump of trees to see who was there.
Lausanne's eyes widened as she caught sight of Kagome, Sango and Shippo.
"Lausanne!" Kagome exclaimed, "You're here!"
"I am." she agreed.
"Did you get away from Sesshoumaru?" Sango asked, "Inuyasha didn't say he smelled his brother."
"I am still traveling with Sesshoumaru." Lausanne replied, "Inuyasha does not smell him because the wind is blowing the wrong way for either Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru to smell each other's scents."
Kagome nodded. She caught sight of Lausanne's wound on her shoulder and gasped. Although Lausanne wasregaining her strength, the wound still did not look good with it's black and slightly green edges."What happened! Sesshoumaru didn't hurt you, did he?"
Lausanne glanced down at the wound. "He did." she replied, "But it was an accident. My own choice to save a friend. It does not matter. I am recovering."
"It looks awful!" Sango commented.
"Yeah." Kagome agreed, "It seems that Sesshoumaru's always trying to hurt someone."
"I believe it is because of his position as Western Lord." Lausanne told her, "He must protect his lands. He does have a soft side though I have learned. He treats the girl Rin, and me, with respect. Sesshoumaru saved my life after I was wounded. And he's been watching out for me since. I appreciate it."
Sango and Kagome were not sure how exactly to reply to this. So Shippo replied. "So Sesshoumaru's nice?" he asked.
Lausanne laughed. "At times." she replied, "But he is definitely not bad."
Kagome nodded. "So who's that girl that's been traveling with him?"
"Rin?" Lausanne asked, "She is a girl who Sesshoumaru saved and has been taking care of. She is very sweet."
"She seemed sweet at the few times I've seen her." Kagome agreed.
"I should get going." Lausanne said, "I promised Sesshoumaru that I would not be long."
"Of course." Sango said nodding.
"Stay safe." Kagome told her.
Nodding, Lausanne went to the other side of the hot spring and got out, putting her dress back on. She then returned to Sesshoumaru.
