forgive me now?

Chapter 6 : A New Member Part 1

"Ah, the breeze feels great," I said looking at my hand. I had been running through

the forest dodging trees at the last second to increase the fun.

"I finished my 100 laps! Maybe, just maybe today might be a good day." I ran out of the

forest which landed me in the city, on our island. I sat on the ground and watched the

people pass me by. "*sighs* I'm bored." I said picking up a ock and throwing it. Then

suddenly it hit me. I jumped up. "I know I'll run 100 laps through the city!" I said,

starting to run.

I finished in 10 minutes. (AN:C'mon, he's only 13!) "What now? I ran in the forest, and

in the city. I'm fresh out of ideas." I said, sitting down again. Then it had occurred

to me that I could go visit Ryoko. I hadn't visited her since last month.

Several months had passed since their first encounter and they had become the best of

friends.

Inuyasha got up and started running, when out of no where someone grabbed the back of

his kimono. Inuyasha turned around,"Seshomaru?"

"Inuyasha where are you going? Your not about to run through the city are you?"

"No."

"Well, would you mind explaining why you did it the first time the first time? You

frightened the human residents. Many claimed that it was an attack of some sort on the

island."

"Oh. Sorry."

"Hmm. Yes, well try to be more CAREFUL next time."

"K." I said, almost leaving when there was another tug on my kimono. "Huh?"

"Inuyasha, where are you going?"

"Um." I said. What do I do? I can't tell him about Ryoko. She'd be forced to do labor

(work) or something.

FlashBack: "Don't ever tell anyone where I am."

"Why?"

"'Cause, I'm a thief and if anyone knew where I was I'd be in big trouble. So don't."

"Oh. Okay I won't. Promise!"



"Good. Better yet don't even mention my name. Haha!" ^_^ (AN:That's Ryoko's expression)

End FlashBack

Her words echoed through my head. I can't tell him. I can't tell anyone about Ryoko.

"I'm going... to go.... pee!"

Seshomaru had an very confused/disgusted look on his face. "O-kay."

"Uh-I really got to go, so bye!"

Seshomaru regained his conscious and let go of Inuyasha's kimono. "Right. Bye-"

Inuyash was gone.

"*sighs* Some thing tells me he went to go run in the forest."



"Phew! That was close, time to go see Ryoko." I said. I followed her sent and wandered

into what seemedto be a very small pond. A woman with black hair was in it.

"Who's there?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else. Please excuse me."

"Inuyasha? Come here I haven't seen you in a while."

"Uh, how is it that you know my name?"

"Huh? Are you trying to play a trick on me? Come on now don't play dumb."

"I'm really sorry, I don't know who you are."

"Ok, fine. Its very nice to meet you Inuyasha. Its me. There you happy now?"

"Um define me."

"Ugh! Its me, Inuyasha, me! Ryoko!" She says putting on her clothes.

"Ryoko?! No you're not your lieing! Ryoko has orange hair!"

"Aha ha ha ha ha!" Ryoko falls down laughing. (AN:She's fully clothed now)

"Uh, what's so funny?"

"Inuyasha, that color wasn't natural! My natural hair color is black. I always color my

hair when I go to steal, it's a disguise. Besides you can smells its me, can't you?"

Inuyasha is dumbfounded. He can't even remember how many times he bragged about that

to Ryoko. He sniffed the air. "It is you." Inuyasha runs and jumps on Ryoko giving

her a hug. "Ryoko!"

Ryoko smiles. "Well, now that thats over can you hand me those strawberries?"

"Huh? Oh sure." Ryoko lets him go and he goes and retrieves the strawerries.

He hands them to her. "Thank you." She takes the strawberries and squishes them on her

head.

"Uh. What are you doing? Your supposed to eat them not mash them on your head." I said

completely bewildered.

"Yes but they're also good for hair dye."

"Are you nuts?! That's wasteing food!"

"No it isn't, if I don't use it then when someones spots me when I rob a place they

might be able to identify me! Now hand me some more strawberries."

"Yes, Ryoko." said Inuyasha sighing heavily.

"Good, now that's the spirit! Ahaha!"

A couple trees away back by the bushes a demon smiles,"So, even after all that's

happened you still managed to find SOME happiness. I am proud of you, my soon to

be owner of tetsaiga Shikon No Tama prince...." the demon leaves as fast as he appeared

with no one knowing of his presence.

~~~*~~~ (AN: Hey, everyone else does it! I just wanted to try that little mark out.^_^)

It's night and tries yet another thief attempt. Well she succeeded the first time,

maybe luck may be on her side tonight.

"Aheheheh. Once I get in there," Ryoko whispers. "I'll have a bigger load then last

time." Ryoko looks around making sure she's alone. "Now all I have to do," says Ryoko

walking towards the door. "is make it to the door and-"

"Get down!" yells a familiar voice.

Ryoko gets knocked to the ground face forward. "Hey! What's the big idea?!"

"Shh!" says Inuyasha with his finger on his lips. (AN: How cute! I remember when I was

a little kid I used to always do that. Haha! :P) "There's a demon on the other side of

that door, plus," Inuyasha says. Then turns to her with an annoyed expression on his

face. "there's a window on that door so he wold of saw you if you had took another

step. Heh, some thief you are."

"Oh, I-I-I knew that. Sorry I guess I was too transfixed on gold that I wasn't- hey!

What do ya mean by that 'some thief I am' crap?!"

"Shh!" said Inuyasha pushing her head down. "Beause I feel like the expert thief around

here. Now forget it. Besides there's another way in. Follow me."

Standing on a tree above them not too far from Inu-Taisho's mansion (AN:Well it can't

be a kingdom they're on an island.) Seshomaru stares down at them. "Hmm. I wonder. What

could you be doing up late at night at this hour, little brother? I guess if I want to

know asking you won't help. *sighs* I guess I have no choice but to do a little

prowling of my own." Seshomaru runs off towards the mansion.

"Its over here." says Inuyasha.

Ryoko following close behind.

"That's it!," says Inuyasha smiling with glee. "The secret door to father's treasures

in the mansion!"

"You'd think it be swarming with demon guards."

"Yeah, well guess they took a break." said Inuyasha smirking. "This is our chance! Now,

hurry up and go before they come back."

"I'm going, I'm going sheesh! Whatta ya got to do to get respect these days."

Inuyasha stays outside to keep watch and Ryoko goes in alone. She looks around, the

room is completely empty. That is until she spots the light. She closes her eyes and

puts her arms up to block the light. Since she was in the dark so long the light is

to bright for eyes. It only takes a second for her to adjust. She walks up to the light

and sees a platform with a sword embedded in it.

"Well its the only thing here. It must be valuable. Only thing left to do

is to take it."

Ryoko walks forward and places her hand on the hilt (AN:think that's how you spell it)

of the sword... Wait! Why would I want a sword? I'm a thief, I infiltrate buildings. I

don't want to kill people. Besides not that many people would want to buy a sword. By

the looks of it this thing looks pretty beat up...

FLASHBACK:

"He killed my mother, and for that I'll never forgive him."

Ryoko just stares.

"Heh, eve though yur an idiot you're still my friend, Ryoko and this might sound silly

but, I want to protect you. For my mother I couldn't do anything so I at least want to

put up a fight for you. Ahehe."

END FLASHBACK

"That's right. I can't forget. I'll do it for you Inuyasha." Ryoko pulled out the sword

and put it in her large bag around her bag. "I did it! Now to get out of here." She ran

out of the room and into the woods.

"Hey!" sad Inuyasha jogging towards Ryoko. "How much did you get?" he asked.

Ryoko smiled and picked up Inuyasha in an embrace and spinned him around. "With

those words you deserve a reward!"

"What words?"

"Ahahaha!"

"Uh, Ryoko are you ok?"

"Of course. Ready to go?"

"You didn't get anything did you?"

Ryoko thought about it. Should I tell him? No the timing is wrong. It'll be his

present. "Nope. But don't fret, I'm sure I'll get something next time."

"Well if your ok with it then I guess I'm ready to go."

Seshomaru stood above them on a rather large tree. "Inuyasha You never seem to surprise

me. This little incident will make sure I become leader, and yet..... I wonder...."

Yeah that's it. Just so you know this is part of the chapter I was supposed

to give you so the next one will just be the second part so they're about the same

thing so no need to put a preview. But I'll put the same one on if it'll make

you feel better.

Alright So Inuyasha's just developed a new friend. Yeah life is great til SOMEONE finds

out and tells the almighty Inu-Taisho. But Inuyasha's not the only one to blame as he

finds away to talk himself out of another 'conversation'. But can he keep his little

secret out of hot water? You'll find out in....
