The Third Family


Heart of Friendship- No. This isn't a filler chapter. Neither was the chapter before. I don't do filler chapters as I've said before. Just chapters in which random things happen. Dedicated to me?! o.o Really? Thanks!!!! Wow! Cool!

Dragon Man 180- I don't know. I kind of forgot about Taoa so sure, she could be sleeping all day. Or she could have been exploring. You decide.

ZeldaAlly- Okay. Interesting. To tell you the truth, my favorite color isn't even purple. It's red. I just thought that because Kyo likes the color of her eyes so much that purple could be her favorite color.

Cirrus- Yes, PG, or moving up to PG-13 for fighting. I already said before NO LEMONS! Yucky! (Throws lemon out window)

LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- I agree with you. Eww is right, but I had to put it in there. -.-; But I won't mention it again so you don't have to worry. You don't have to worry about more yuckies in this chapter (Thows another lemon out window)

lil'killer- (Closes door to her room so lil'killer can't see the color of the walls) Alright! I see you don't like pink!

love-bracelet123- I'm not sure about puting Kyo in the ends. I've thought about it before. I think I'll keep the ending conversations just for the characters from the show and book.

Lenipez sideshow- I love Fruits Baskets!!! I just read the fourth book and my friends can't get me to stop talking about it! Did you read it? I think Aaya looks like Sesshoumaru. Yes, I named Kyo after Kyo.

ThunderingDemonOfTheNight- Yeah, Kagome's being annoying. I've given up trying to get Inuyasha to make his own ramen. Maybe in a chapter some time.

Mystic Bynd- Teapot, yes. ;

DarkPirate-510- I liked that chapter too!

Lucied's sis- Thanks!


The next morning I awoke to people streaming in and out of our bedroom. They were carrying things in and then rearranging them. I guessed it was my stuff. I spied Taoa at the end of the bed. Mikoto was already gone. Either he had gotten up early to do his work, or I had slept in very late.
San and Jina walked into the room. Each held a high stack of cloth. The other people who had been bringing things in filed out of the room silently. "We've got your new kimonos!" Jina said happily. San scowled at her and they both bowed. "Good morning milady." they said together. "Which kimono and over kimono would you like to wear today?" San asked me.
Over the next few minutes they showed me my new outfits. Most of them were made out of the materials I had chosen the day before, but there were also a few plain colored kimonos that any girl would like. There were some fancy ones for special occations too.
In the end I chose a plain white kimono with a pale yellow over kimono. San brushed and braided my hair after I got into them. "Now that you're the true lady of the house you must wear make up." San told me, pulling out various bottles of cosmetics. I looked at them. There was blush, white face powder, lipstick, eye liner, eyeshadow, and some other things.
"I won't be wearing it." I said shaking my head. "Why not?" Jina asked, "I've always wanted to wear make up, but only ladies are alowed to!" "Make up's just not for me." I replied shrugging. San sighed. "Very well, milady." she said, "But you'll have to wear it sometime." She returned to working on my hair.
"Where's Mikoto?" I finally asked. "He got up to work early." Jina said. "How'd you know that?" San asked frowning, "And no gossiping in front of Lady Kyo." "I saw him enter his office at six this morning." the younger demon replied ignoring San, "There were visitors even earlier. They came around four in the morning. I'm guessing that's why your mate got up early."
I nodded and walked out of the room towards Mikoto's office. "Where are you going, milady?" San asked hurrying after me, "The dining room's the other way! You'll be late for breakfast if you don't go now!"
I stopped and turned towards her. "I'm lady of this castle now." I said, "I can do anything I want. This includes being late for breakfast. Tell whoever it may concern that I'll be there after I see Mikoto." San sighed and I continued walking down the hall.
A few minutes later I arrived at the door to the office. I could hear voices from inside. So Jina had been right about why Mikoto had gotten up early. My nose identified the visitor as a dog demon, but that's all. I knocked on the door. There was a pause. "Come in." Mikoto finally called.
I slid the door open and walked in. Then stopped. I knew the visiting dog demon. He turned to me, then back to Mikoto. "So it was your mate I killed and not my bastard brother's." Sesshoumaru said to him, "I suppose I owe you an appoligy." "I understand it was a mistake." Mikoto said. Sesshoumaru nodded.
"Well let's introduce you two more formally." Mikoto said, "We'll put past mistakes behind us. Lord Sesshoumaru, meet my new mate Kyo." Mikoto said gesturing to me, "Kyo, meet Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western lands." I bowed politely. Sesshoumaru nodded towards me. "Lady Kyo." he said.
"Kyo." my mate said, "Lord Sesshoumaru has a young charge by the name of Rin. She is currently in your Lady's Library. Kallani showed you where that is, right?" "Yes." I replied. "Well then please bring Rin to the dining room for breakfast." he instructed, "I'm guessing you haven't had eaten yet." "I haven't." I admitted, "I'll bring Rin with me."
"Thank you." Mikoto said smiling, "She was sleeping when she came here. If you need to, wake her up and get her ready? Alright?" "Yes." I said, "Will you be joining us at breakfast?" "Maybe later." he replied. Nodding, I closed the door behind me and walked toward the library where the sleeping kid was."
Minutes later, I slid the door open to my library. There was a little girl sitting on one of the couches, looking through a book. She looked up. I reconized her. This was the girl who had watched me die.
"Good morning!" Rin said cheerfully, "Are you Lady Kyo?" "I am." I replied closing the door behind me. Rin looked me over frowning. "Aren't you the one Lord Sesshoumaru killed while fighting Lord Inuyasha?" she asked. "Yes." I replied, "I'm a cat demon. I've got more than one life." Rin smiled. "That's useful." she said, "You know, Rin was dead once too! Lord Sesshoumaru used his sword and brought me back to life!"
"That's very interesting." I said and it was. A sword that could bring people back to life. Who would think of that? "What are you reading?" I asked. "Rin can't read." the girl replied, "But Rin's looking at the pictures!" She offered me the book. I took it. She was reading a book by the name of Classic Demon Legends.
"Could Lady Kyo read to Rin?" Rin asked, "The pictures look so nice! The story must be even better!" "I'll read it to you later." I replied, putting the book down, "Lord Mikoto and Lord Sesshoumaru asked me to bring you to breakfast with me." "Yay!" Rin said jumping off the couch, "Rin's hungry!" She ran towards the door. "What's for breakfast?" she asked. I laughed. "Let's find out." I said.
Clear Waters: Rin's so cute!!!

Inuyasha: Who cares about the brat. Is Sesshoumaru joining this after story chat?

Clear Waters: Don't worry. He's not.

Inuyasha: That's good.

Sango: (Is looking at book) Who's this 'King Arther'?

Kagome: He was a very famous king in Britian.

Inuyasha: Where the hell's Britian?

Clear Waters: Not in Japan.

Inuyasha: Well that's obvious!

Kagome: It's across the ocean to the west.

Inuyasha: That's more like it.

Miroku: Could there be Jewel Shards in Britian?

Kagome: God, I hope not. It's so far away.

Miroku: Worse yet, could some of the shards landed in the ocean?

Inuyasha: Damn! Miroku! You're making me nervous.

Sango: You're always nervous.

Inuyasha: No I ain't!

Kagome: You are. You never sleep because you're afraid Sesshoumaru or Naraku or someone's going to attack.

Inuyasha: You're lying!

Shippo: Then when was the last time you fell asleep?

Inuyasha: When Clear Waters was writing those bloopers for Well, Whoops!.

Miroku: In the feudal era.

Inuyasha: Ummm......

Kagome: That's what I thought.

Clear Waters: R&R everyone!
