Thank you for reading. Please review, please. I'm afraid that lack of encouragement has bored me of writing me story, and thus, not finishing it. In other words, if you don't review, I won't continue. I'm sorry but that's just how I feel. If I don't get written feedback I lose determination and drive. So please review! I want to know what you like about my story, to know what I am doing right. You understand right? I need more feedback. Well I'll get to the story since it is short anyway. Sorry if I make mistakes, I'm just ready to get to the next one after that, and I'm betting a bit bored.
Miyoko joins Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru took Miyoko to a large, green field with a forest behind it. When he landed, she immediately leapt out of his arms forming back into human form in mid-air. Her changing flames subsided as she stood facing Sesshomaru. He stared his empty stare at her and she turned a bit red from embarrassment and from shame.
"I knew you'd come after me. You are stubborn," said Sesshomaru.
"And you are arrogant to think I'd abandon my friends to come with you."
Sesshomaru stared at her.
"Well yes, I did do so," she said, "But still." She crossed her arms.
Suddenly Jaken and Rin came running out of the woods. Rin looked very happy while Jaken looked worried and a little puzzled.
"Me Lord! Me Lord! Who have you kidnapped from Inuyasha? Is this one of Inuyasha's wenches?"
Miyoko kicked him. "Watch your mouth you ugly toad thing!"
"This is Miyoko, Jaken," said Rin.
"Me Lord, why is she here? Why have you not abandoned her?" asked Jaken.
"I have resolved to let her accompany us in our travels."
Jaken's mouth dropped open and Rin jumped up and down happily.
"But me Lord—"
Silence Jaken. It is the only reasonable solution. Come. We must travel onward."
"Where are we going?" asked Miyoko.
"It should not matter. You will come either way," said Sesshomaru.
Well this is true,Miyoko thought.
"Sesshomaru?"
"Yes?"
"When will we stop?"
"By nightfall."
"It is not a good idea not to call Lord Sesshomaru 'Lord'," said Jaken, "And you are not honorable enough to walk beside him—"
Miyoko had been listening intently.
"You are mistaken Jaken," Sesshomaru interrupted. "Leave her be."
Jaken gasped a little. How is it that this youkai woman Lord Sesshomaru just met gets more respect from Lord Sesshomaru than I, his loyal and faithful servant for all his life? Thought Jaken. He didn't like Miyoko.
So, two weeks passed. (I do not feel like describing each day in details, so here it is in brief.)
Sesshomaru kept telling Jaken to call Miyoko "Miyoko" instead of "wench" or "stupid girl" and to respect her. Jaken still calls her names behind his back and is usually caught and gets a bashing in the head for it.
Rin really likes Miyoko and Miyoko really likes Rin. She has come to care for her. Rin finally has someone to play with and Miyoko is always willing when she isn't cooking or cleaning or starting small fires for various needs.
Sesshomaru notices that Miyoko is very germ conscious after she washed Rin's hands 20 times after Rin flaunted a dead caterpillar she found. He also noticed Jaken's displeasure with Miyoko and his minor attempts to get him and Rin to disfavor her. His attempts always failed and he was starting to think about giving up.
At around the start of the second week, Sesshomaru started to watch Miyoko until she fell asleep. Before he would watch Rin, Jaken, and Miyoko, but now he would allow Miyoko to ask him various things until he got annoyed and she would fall asleep. And now, after she had fallen asleep he would stare, just stare at her with his cold, empty, emotionless eyes. Perhaps to make sure she did not wake up. Maybe it was because he did not trust her. Or perhaps he wanted to make sure she was safe.
