A/n disclaimer: As much as I hate to admit it, I do not own Inuyasha and
friends. With that said, let's get on with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~
We reached the camp in what seemed like record timing. There was nothing special about the camp. Though it smelled strongly of meat. I kept getting strange looks from passers. I didn't think much of it. I was used to strange looks. I did notice that there were fewer humans than I expected. I wondered if there were more at the village. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
I lead Laquisha to my tent, where Jaken was surprised at my quick return.
"Oh, my lord, you're back earlier than expected. Lady Rin will be pleased."
"Yes, well, is Kami around? I need her to show Laquisha around and tell her what is required."
"She is at the hot springs near by. Last time I checked, your brother, Inuyasha was getting ready to head down there."
"Take Laquisha to him. I have business to attend to."
"Yes, my lord." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
The little frog - like demon bowed himself out and motioned for me to follow. He led me to a tent and a young looking, white haired boy with dog- ears came out. This boy was about my age, probably a bit older.
"What do you want?" he asked the little demon, eyeing me suspiciously.
"Lord Sasshomoru has ordered you to take this girl to the hot springs to find Sango. You were heading that way, yes?"
"Yes" he muttered, "Ok, come on then."
He nodded to me and headed off into the woods. After following a small trail for a while, out of nowhere came an arrow. I caught it just as it barely missed my head. We reached a small clearing with a hot springs in the middle. There were only two girls there (with bathing suits on.).
"What do you think you're doing? Trying to take my head of?!" I exclaimed.
"Oh, sorry, I thought you were a demon. But there is one person we don't want here." one replied glaring at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha returned the look.
"Feh, I was just leaving anyway."
He turned and stocked off.
"Charming" I muttered.
"I know, isn't he?" the other said.
"Don't mind him, he's always like that" said the first.
"Is he now? Well, I just got the misfortune of having to train with him." "Oh, you're that girl from the trading village. My name's Kami and my friend here is Kagome. You're earlier than expected. Other wise I would have been there to greet you. That's pretty much my job. I greet new slaves and show them around, tell what's required of them and all that crap. Fun, huh? That's not my only job, but the other one's boring. Speaking of jobs, what job did Sasshomoru land you with?"
"Head of security. That's why I'm training with Mr. Dog-ears."
"Head of security?! But you're so young!"
"I'm seventeen, thank you very much."
"Yah, that's what I'm saying, young. The last person he got for security chief, barely lasted a month. He died of an unknown cause. You're to young to go out like that."
"I can look out for myself, and it takes a lot to kill me."
"If you say so, but you couldn't pay me enough to take your job."
I shrugged my shoulders.
"So, are you done? I'd kinda like to talk to you face to face."
"Yah. let me get dressed first. I'll meet you back at camp."
"Ok, see ya later."
I turned and left. As soon as I had gotten back into camp, I heard a voice say,
"So you're the new slave?"
I turned to see Mr. Dog-ears.
"Yah, what of it?"
"You look, um, different from what expected."
"I'm taking that as a bad thing."
"Well, not really, you look human, but you don't smell human."
"So?"
"What's the deal with that?"
"That's for me to know and you to never find out."
"Watch your tongue."
"Feh, why should I?"
"Because I just might rip it out."
"Ooo, tough guy. You talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"
He lunged the same time I jumped into a nearby tree.
"Where'd you learn a move like that?!" he asked
"I lived in a tough neighborhood."
"Yah, well, that's obvious. You've got a cut on your lip."
My hand went to my lip. I had forgotten about what my brother had done this morning.
"What of it?"
"Nothing. You know. you're really tiring."
"I get that a lot."
"I'm sure." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Who was this girl? She had no feature indicating that she was demon, yet she smelled and had moves like one. Her mischievous eyes hid the fact that she had a lot of pain in her past. And where did she get the courage to give off comebacks like that? Either she was really brave or really stupid. Maybe both.
Although I hated her, there was an attraction there too. Damn, I always fall for the dangerous and ungettable. The mysterious, as well. Guess I like a challenge too much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Who does this guy think he is? I mean, what an asshole! Yah, so maybe he's Sassomoru's half brother, but who cares. It doesn't give him the right to be like that. He was kind of cute though. Damn my teenage hormones! They made it harder to hate him.
We just stood there, studying each other. We probably would have stood there all day if it weren't for Kami.
"Hey, you ready?" she asked me.
"Yah, sure. See ya later, Dog-ears!"
"The name's Inuyasha!" he called after us.
"Whatever!" I called back.
I heard him mutter something like, "What a bitch." I found that funny.
"So I see you and Inuyasha were getting along."
"You call THAT getting along?! He tried to kill me."
"Well, with a fast mouth like that, I'm not surprised. He's not used to people mouthing of to him. People fear him."
"People fear a dog like THAT?"
"Duh! Are you brain-dead or something? Last person who got HIM mad found themselves missing a head."
"Ooo, I'm so scared."
"You really are brain-dead aren't you?"
"Maybe."
That gave her something to laugh about.
"So, you need to hear the rules. Ok, don't speak until spoken too, when called to Lord Sassomoru or Lady Rin, kneel before him (or her) and don't get up 'till told to do so, never go to Lord Sassomoru or Lady Rin unless called or make an appointment, and if you run away, better update your will, 'cause if they catch you.. it's off with your head."
"I guess I'm gonna have a lot of enemies, huh?"
"As chief of security, of course, but don't sweat it. If you need help, my door's always open."
"Is that your way of offering friendship?"
"Yah, I guess."
"Well, the offer is accepted with thanks."
"You're welcome."
"So, I suppose I have other duties other than catching other slaves."
"Yup. Until you're chosen for a personal slave, you've got regular duties. You know, cleaning and serving. Stuff like that."
"Fun. So, what are the chances of becoming a personal servant?"
"Well, for you, pretty good, but you don't want the job."
"Why?"
"The only one who is missing a personal.. is Inuyasha."
"And just why are the chances for me good?!"
"Oh, come on! Did you see the way he was looking at you?"
"Yah, he was looking at me with pure hate.. I hope."
"You hope, but you don't know."
"Hmm, well that doesn't change the fact that he won't want me."
"Yah.sure."
I shook my head. He seemed to hate me. But did he really? Why do I care? What am I, a schoolgirl with a crush? I don't think so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
I was in the woods. I couldn't see who was there, nor did I know why I was following her. Her voice was familiar and she was humming a tune that I had long forgotten. All I could see was the trees around me and a blue light moving away from me. Eventually I got to a clearing. At the end of the clearing was a great stonewall. I approached it and heard voices whispering, "summon the lightning." I gathered up my strength and used the lightning attack that my mother had inherited from a curse that she had passed on to me to charge the wall. A part of the wall disappeared and revealed stairs. I followed the stairs, only to find my mother standing in a strange blue light. She said,
"I'll be waiting for you, my moon and stars."
And then. I shot up strait in bed. It had been a dream. I wasn't in the woods. I was in the tent with Kami and Kagome lying on their mats just feet away. I noticed tears were coming from my eyes. I wiped them away ferociously. I hated crying. It made me feel week and pitiful.
Knowing I wouldn't be getting any more sleep tonight, got up, got dressed, and left. Sitting in a tree, staring at the moon always made me feel better. I found a tree that suited me and climbed it. I went over the dream in my mind. I supposed it was telling me how to get to my mother's crypt, but why? Why after all these years did it decide to show itself? Was it because I had just turned seventeen at midnight? Whatever it was it was pretty weird. The fact that my mother was talking to me was very weird. I wonder what that was all about.
I heard a rustle in the bushes. I looked down and saw Mr. Dog-ears.
"Didn't mean to disturb you. I'll go."
"No wait. You don't have to. It's not like I own the tree."
He jumped to the nearest branch and we sat in silence. I decided to make conversation.
"Couldn't sleep?"
"No, you?"
"Nope, had a weird dream."
"Me too."
"Hmm."
"What's your favorite thing about the moon?"
It was a weird question, but I answered. I assumed he was trying to make conversation too.
"Its light. A long time ago, when my mom was still alive, I used to sit with her in our favorite oak tree and just stare at the moon. If I'd look up at my mom, I could see the light reflect in her eyes. It was the nicest times that I had with my mother. It was where we could get away from the world and just. be. There was something magical about the light of the moon. There still is." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
There was a sadness in her voice. A longing. She wanted to be with her mother. I knew the feeling. I had lost my own mother at a young age, too. I didn't know why, but part of me wanted to comfort her. Something told me to, and I usually follow my instincts so. I leapt to the branch she was sitting on and put a comforting arm around her. She looked at me, very surprised. Hell, I was surprised at myself. I rarely show any form of emotion but anger toward any one. It was very strange the way this girl had this kind of effect on me. It was very weird.
To my surprise, she placed her arm around me so we were side by side, comfortably. We just sat there, watching the moon go down. Eventually her head slumped onto my shoulder and she fell asleep. I just sat there, listening to her deep breathing and thought, 'God this is so peaceful. I wish this moment would never end.' I had just met this girl a few hours ago and yet I had strong feelings for her. It was like it was meant to be. No, it was crazy. or was it? Unfortunately, the sun slowly came up. This meant we would be leaving soon. I felt her stir. She would be waking soon. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She looked over at me; surprised I was still there.
"Oh, I didn't mean to fall asleep. Um, thanks for."
Before she could finish her sentence, I kissed her full on the lips. I didn't mean to, but I guess I wasn't thinking straight. The surprise on her face was priceless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
I couldn't believe it. He kissed me! It was nice but horrifying at the same time. I did exactly what my mother had told me to do in a time like this. I slapped him.
"Ow! What was that for?!" he exclaimed.
"That was for not asking. And this. this is for a thank you." I replied, kissing him back.
Unfortunately, there was rustling in the bushes. Not wanting to be seen with my master's half brother, I jumped to the closest branch. Kami, Kagome, and some other girl came out of the brush.
"There you are! We've been looking all over for you! Come on, we're gonna be leaving soon. " Sango exclaimed.
Inuyasha jumped down and glared at them as he passed.
"And just what have you two been up to?" the girl asked.
"We were just talking! God! Can't I do anything without being questioned?"
"Don't mind her, she's got a sick mind."
"Right."
I jumped down, yawned, and stretched.
"I take it you didn't get much sleep last night." Sango said.
"Couldn't sleep." I replied.
"Why?" Asked the girl with a mischievous smile.
"Oh, yuck! How could you think of something like that?!" I exclaimed.
"Very easily, believe me." Kagome said.
We started walking back to camp. When we got there everyone was packing. We packed quickly and followed everyone. I saw Inuyasha up ahead. He looked back and I looked away, pretending I didn't see him. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him smirk, but I knew I shouldn't make eye contact. I was pretty sure there was a rule against us being together. If Sassomoru saw us, he'd probably get mad or something. Besides, I barely met this boy. Didn't I have values? God, I was falling for him like a schoolgirl with a crush. I hated that. Maybe I could avoid him. No, how could you avoid someone who practically owned the place where you were living. Damn, I picked the wrong person to fall in love with. Jesus Christ, I have bad luck with things like this. Oh well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
She didn't make I contact, although I know she saw me. Was she ashamed of what she did? Or did she not want everyone to know? Females are so confusing sometimes, it's sad. Well, she couldn't hide from me forever. I could still smell her on my lips; the smell was driving me crazy. I needed to talk to her about this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
A/n Ok, I know this chapter was pretty long, but oh well. When I get an idea I just can't stop typing. I hope this chapter wasn't as boring as the last one. I know there were some pretty mushy parts, but I'm in a mushy mood, so bare with me. By the way, reviews are welcome. Preferably praise, but flames are ok too. They help me learn about what I'm doin' wrong, Thanks.
