A/N: hi again and thankyous to all who deemed my story good enough to review. Some of you asked if the person who spoke last in the last chapter was Kagome's retainer, you will have to see.
So on with the show…
Chapter 7:
InuYasha immediately went into attack position, well as much as possible with Kagome in his arms and growled at the figure walking through the door.
"What, why are you so surprised Kagome, your father did say I would be meeting up with you didn't he?" the figure soon to be known as Mentiz said, as she walked through the door.
Kagome just looked at the person before her, about 3' 4" tall, she had amber-ish hair and about the same color eyes. She wore a forestry brown colored hakmas (hakamas like InuYasha's pants but not so puffy) with black boots that went up to right below her knees. Her torso was adorned with an off white under shirt with flowing sleeves that went down to her wrists; a tan vest that did little to show off her ten-year-old looking figure, but she was most likely older than Kagome by several decades. She also had pointy ears, wings (like tinkerbell's), and a whip at her hip (hey that rhymed). Her hair was done up in low pigtails, with charms hanging from the hair ties.
' Oh yea otto-san did say something about some one meeting up with us, a retainer by the mane of, of Mentiz I think,'
"Mentiz?"
" That's my mane don't wear it out." Mentiz stated joyously, "I am your retainer, don't judge me cuz of my size, I can kick your ass if I wanted too, and no Miroku I will not bare your child."
"Hu?" That caught Miroku a little off guard, " I didn't even say anything."
" Yea but you were probably thinkin' it." She commented. You could tell that this smart-ass loved to play with people's heads.
" Wait, how do you know so much a out us." said Sango, she knew that she was Kagome's retainer but how could she suddenly know so much about us? Was she spying on us?
Mentiz cleared her through, "well… I was assigned to be your retainer when you came through the well,
Yes I also knew that your mother, brother, and you are from the future.
But since you never came through the well, I gave up.
So I was sleeping in a tree a few months ago and I had a dream were Danna-sama told me to go find you again (Danna means master),
And so I went and found you but decided to study you people since it wouldn't be wise to just up and approach you like that.
Sooooo
After I found that her highness turned back into a hanyou,
Although I don't know why you weren't a hanyou already,
I decided that this was probably when you would need me most!"
" AND…" oh great she is talking more, " so here I am!" she said excitedly. Peace at last,
" So if you have any questions I'm here…. I think that covers everything, I'm surprised I didn't forget any of my retainer training, its been what a hundred years, well that plus…'
While she ranted, the group decided to finally make breakfast.
Which consisted of some fish that had been preserved from last night, and some instant hot cocoa; they were wise not to give any hot cocoa to Shippo, knowing he would be hyper as a humming bird if they did.
With Mentiz…
There is the time I had to clean dishes for a teahouse because I broke their priceless china, oh and the time I mistook a youkai for a dear I was planing on having for dinner…
With the 'gang'...
" So Kagome," Shippo said, " wont you need a binding thingy so your demon blood wont get loose?"
"Oh yea," Kagome said, and turned to the still ranting Mentiz. " Hey Mentiz…" no answer
" HEY MENTIZ!" She yelled to get her attention, which was clearly, somewhere else.
Snapping out of her stupor, Mentiz turned to Kagome " Yea," she said, as though she had never been talking to thin air in the first place.
"Wont I need some sort of blood binding thing for my demon blood." She inquired.
" Oh! I almost forgot Kami! How do I ever get so distracted." Everyone in the room sweat-dropped. " Anyway come with me. Kagome-sama." she said as she led her out of the hut.
Kagome followed Mentiz out of the hut, InuYasha in tow. When she was out side and her eyes had adjusted to the light, she could see a tan pony, which was attached to a rickety cart that had a tarp over the contents.
" I assume you have some basic training with a range of weapons." She said, she ripped the tarp off of the wagon…
Lying in the cart was many weapons: spears, small swords, big swords, Halberds, daggers, shycles (like what Kohoku has, I forget the spelling), bladed fans, bow and arrows, dayonets, Axes, batons, Alards (my own creation, flat blade, is circular, has handles on the inside side of the blade, in the middle of it is a red jewel), and many other's that Kagome couldn't even put a name on.
"Here you go," she said, "I thought I should bring a large selection, as they say it is the weapon that chooses the master."
" So all of these can bind my demon blood?" she asked
" Oh no, there is already one that will bind your blood but I haven't picked it up from the person who forged it, but you can chose any of these weapons to use."
She went back into the hut, leaving Kagome and InuYasha to marvel at the beautiful weapons.
Each weapon had her family crest, a sun that was, in some weapons intricately carved.
" Well InuYasha which one do you suppose I should use?" she asked her beloved.
" Keh…" he said in a way that said, how the hell should I know? It is after all a highly versatile statement.
END CHAPTER
HELP WANTED
Well it was a bad ending to the chapter but I don't know which weapon she should choose.
Ok I need two opinions from you guys,
one in what her blood binding weapon should be
And two on what one she should choose as just a normal weapon.
Thanx again to those who reviewed,
Sama suffix that means lord or lady
Danna sometimes a suffix , but it means master
-chan suffix for a friend but mostly a female or very young one.
-san a form of endearment ,like a friend, a suffix, female
Kun same as –san but for male
Umm I think that's it
Byebye!
