Chapter IV:
Her plans to escape had been frustrated with the arrival of the youkai and the demoness cause –and before they could say anything- some guards came to recieve them and they saw the young lord concubine there, they didn't needed to be genius to know that she had tried to escape and that she almost did it, if it hadn't been for the fact that they had arrived to stop her from doing so. One of the guards walked to her and without any futher word he took her arm to lead her back inside, the other walked to the other two youkais, she sighed when she was inside the palace again and, with the direction they were taking, to see Lord Inutaisho.
Just like she expect it, the lords of those lands wasn't merciful with her, he forbided her the right to write to her family till he ordered otherwise, it had hurted her deeply she had at least hoped to keep in touch with her family that way. After the encounter with Inutaisho, she was sent back to her 'chambers', where Youcon came to heal the wounds that Sesshoumaru had caused with his claws, after her friend bandaged the wounds she left her alone to keep working on the 'party' of that evening.
With a sigh Kikyou laid on the futon, she was bored and frustrated, she knew that maybe Sesshoumaru will give her another punishment for what she tried to do. She sited up and turned to look at the small table –packed with all the necesary stuff a woman could use(you know make-up and perfums)- to watch her reflection on the mirror and she didn't liked what she saw. She saw a really diferent persona and not her old self, her face was delicately maked up, her hair was arranged in a very complicated yet elgant hairstyle and the green kimono complemented her looks, she shook her head in disgust.
The woman that had looked back at her through the mirror was a woman she had never wanted to be, it was a woman that was now surrounded by elegance but giving something in exchage, that was another Kikyou, a Kikyou that was now living with elegance –cause let's face the facts, concubines did lived that way- and used for carnal pleasures, that wasn't the humble miko Kikyou that had been happily living a simple and chaste life back at her small village with her family, she now felt like if she was torn between two different personas.
And strangely she knew she was, she knew that as long she was cladded with expensive silk, she was going to be the slave, the concubine, the toy, the object, a mere doll that was elegantly dressed yet she wasn't allowed to express her ideas, cause she was only meant to be used and be shown as a prize amongst others for being a miko tammed and owned by a demon. But while she was cladded as a miko she was the strong and free woman, that could do as she wished –along as it was among her beliefs- and no one could stop her will. She was allowed to do what she couldn't as the concubine and as a miko, she will never doblegate to a demon like the concubine will do.
She stood up and walked to a small bowl with water –that was always in her room for her use- she took a small piece of white cloth and rinsed it in the water, she wringed out the excess of water and started to clean the make up off her face. She sited in front of the small table and watched her reflection on the mirror, her face was now free of the make-up that tainted her moonlit skin, with a slow motion she started to undo the complicated hairstyle, she took the ivory hairpins and small combs as she undid the complicated knots, when she finished she took a brush and combed her hair to later arrange her long twilight hair on her tarashigami, she smiled to her reflection cause she was close to what she wanted to achive.
Gracefully she stood up and walked to a wardrobe(if those didn't existed back then...now they do...lots of things will) and opened the doors, lots of fine silk kimonos of different a beautiful colors were inside but she didn't paid any attention to those, she knelt down and took her miko robes –another thing she had to thank Youcon, cause the demoness saved them and help her to hid them- she held her miko robes close to her and closed the doors, she knew she could still use her sacred robes cause she was still chaste –except for her lips but her body was- anb even though she would be forbidden to wear them after well lose her virginity she wasn't going to throw them away, cause it was the last thing her teacher left her. She walked behind the beautiful flower decorated folding screen and changed to her sacred robes, she came out dressed as the miko she had once been and after looking for awhile in her room she found the bow and arrows that Youcon had gived her, according to the demoness being there didn't meant that she couldn't still practice archery as she wanted.
Silently she went exited Sesshoumaru's chambers, she sighed in relief when she didn't saw no one, maybe they were still busy with the 'party' and her walk to one of the gardens will be easy and uneventful, that was for the best cause if someone saw her with her miko robes she and Youcon will be in hell of a trouble. Just like she expect it she didn't find no one through all her walk to a small archery camp pound that Youcon had showed her, but that she had denied her to tell her who built it, the second day of her arriving to the palace, with a sigh she walked to stand in front of the many targets.
With eased delicadece she placed one of the arrows on the bow and prepared to aim, the thin rope was perfectly tensed and her eyes were focused in the center of the target, with an easy movement she released the arrow that perfectly hit the center something that didn't surprised her at all, she took another arrow and did the same. She had shooted at least fifteen arrows when she felt someone looking at her back with amuzed eyes, she slowly turns around only to look at the lady of the lands, her long red-orange hair genlty swifted by the wind as she simply sits on the porch looking at the human maiden with her silver orbs.
"Lady Yuzuriha" Kikyou bowed lightly to the woman "What brings you here?"
"I was only curious of the aura that was here" Yuzuriha smiled kindly at the dark haired woman "I see you're really good at archery, just like a miko should be"
Kikyou smiled back at the lady "Thank you, for your kind words"
"Why don't you take a rest?" Yuzuriha proposed causing the young woman to look at her confused "Come sit and maybe we can talk for a bit"
"As you wish" Slowly Kikyou walks back to the porch, she sits and places the bow besides her "Hmph"
Yuzuriha smiled at her "So Kikyou, tell me about your life as a miko?"
"Well, I can't complain, I liked it and I became a miko at my own free will no one obligated me like sometimes happens"
"I see" Yuzuriha said and looked at the targets "But what called your attention about the life of a miko?"
"I'm not quite sure, when I was a little girl I saw Midoriko, our local miko and my teacher, as a celestial being cause she protected us and healed us when we got ill or hurt" Kikyou sighed and placed her hands over her lap "So I guess that I wanted to be like her, I wanted to protect and heal people and maybe be compared as a celestial being like her"
"But I had been told that mikos can get married when they want to and that they fully stop being one when they lose the purity of their bodies, is that true?" Yuzuriha asked and Kikyou slowly nodded "What happened to your teacher?"
"Well, she got married and lived happy, that was till her husband was killed by some bandits" Kikyou still clearly remembered the first time and last time she saw her teacher crying and breaking down by her own feelings "She died in labor along with the baby"
"I see, I'm so sorry to hear that" Yuzuriha looked up at the close evening sky "What about your family?"
"Well my parents are both dead, my father died due to a illness and my mother in childwork" Kikyou saddly sighed "Kagome, Souta and I were left in Midoriko's care and that's when I started to train to become a miko"
"You truly have a kind heart Kikyou and you being a miko proves it that way" Yuzuriha mused causing that the young woman looked at her in confusion "Happens what happens, you'll always be the same Kikyou"
"What do you mean?" Kikyou asked a bit confused
"What I mean Kikyou is that wether you're eleganlty dressed or in your miko robes, you'll always be the same Kikyou, nothing will change, your heart, spirit and mind won't change, you'll always be the same" Yuzuriha dared to place a hand on the yound maiden shoulder "I suppose that was distourbing you"
Kikyou slightly nodded "But...when I'm Kikyou the concubine, I'm not free and I'm not allowed to express myself"
"Yes, that is true, sometimes" The lady smiled when the young maiden looked back at her again "Cause sometimes even a mere concubine can influence in some topics just by expresing simple ideas and sometimes even become a lady of the lands"
Kikyou hazel orbs looked at the lady "Will it be okay if I asked about your life?"
"You can ask if you wish too" Yuzuriha moved her hands to her lap "Besides I asked about yours"
"Thank you" Kikyou looked back at the target that she had been using "Are you from these lands?"
"No, I borned in the Northern lands, my father was a great lord but he was in war with Inutaisho's father" Yuzuriha started to explain "My mother helped him a lot when she was finally heard and she was the one that proposed a peace agrement"
"Your mother was a concubine wasn't it?" Kikyou stated rather than asked
"Yes, she was, that's why I told you that sometimes concubines can sometimes go really high" Yuzuriha saddly smiled and shook her head causing her elegant red-orange curls to move with her "Anyway to achive peace between our lands, well I was obligated to become Inutaisho mate"
"So you were forced to become his wife to achive peace" Kikyou said a bit angrily, one of the many things that angered her were arranged marriages "Did you regret it?"
"Well at the beggining I did cause I had wanted to chose whom I was going to mate with, but Inutaisho did a lot to win my afection and slowly he did" Yuzuriha softly said "But I think that the first time I truly fell in love with him was when Sesshoumaru borned, when he borned I was so happy and Inutaisho showed me a side that I didn't knew and that made fall for him"
Kikyou lightly smiled at the lady "So you are happy in the end?"
"Yes, I do love him but I believe that he fell in love with a human woman a long time ago" The lady looked back at Kikyou, that was ready to ask something "Yes, we can fell in love with humans and he did, he fell in love with a human"
"Did you knew about her?" She dared to ask
"Yes, the name of the human was Izayoi and people had told me that she was really beautiful" Yuzuriha took a deep breath "But she died, well she was murdered because she had a child with Inutaisho, a child that he named..."
"Inuyasha" Kikyou finished for her and now it was the turn of the lady to look at her confused "He's my sister husband"
"Ohh...I see" Yuzuriha turned her silver eyes to the sky 'I knew he would never quit to the child he had with the woman he loved'
"Inuyasha told me that his father couldn't mate with his mother cause he was already mated with someone" Kikyou decided to keep out the fact that she had been Inuyasha's lover "But I never thought it was you"
"Well, it's true, we can't mate with another if we're already mated, unless our previous mate dies" Yuzuriha shorlty explained to the human "And I'm sure that Inutaisho deeply loved Izayoi"
Kikyou looked at the lady "But what about you?"
"Well, he always says that he loves me still but" Yuzuriha lightly smiled and stood up "But I think that he loved Izayoi more than me"
"Umm...Lady Yuzuriha" Kikyou took the bow as she also stood up, the lady looked at her kindly, with a light smile she handed the bow to her "Would you like to try?"
The red-orange haired lady took the bow "Sure, thank you Kikyou"
With a natural and gentle elegance she walked to the quiver that rested on the ground, she leaned down and took and arrow, Kikyou watched the lady move with ease as she prepared the arrow on the bow. Yuzuriha aimed the arrow and fixed her silver eyes in the center of the target, the thin rope perfectly tensed as the arrow was perfectly placed before it was released, to Kikyou's utter amaze the arrow that the lady shooted went through the last arrow she shooted before finally hit the center.
Kikyou looked at the lady "Did you had previous experience, my lady?"
"Of course I did" Yuzuriha gave the bow back to the young miko and lightly smiled "Why do you think this archery camp pound?"
"It was for you, my lady" Kikyou once again stated rather than asked
"Of course, when I came here I was so bored and since I practiced archery, Inutaisho decided to built this for me" Yuzuriha elegantly walked past the twilight haired miko "Now if I were you little miko, I'll go change of clothes and I'll try to be away from the principal room just like my son ordered you to do"
"How do you know that he ordered me that?" Kikyou asked an hid her anger and shame when she remembered the words he had told her previously "And why do I need to change my clothes?"
"I could caught the faint scent of your blood and I asked him, really he needs to change his modals towards ladies, that must come from his father side" Yuzuriha pesadly said and shook her head "Well, you need to change your clothes cause the other taiyoukais lords wouldn't apreciete to see a miko in the palace"
"I suppose you're right" Kikyou half bowed to the kind lady "I'll go change at once"
Yuzuriha turned to look at Kikyou and smiled once again "You know Kikyou, we have lots of things in common and I think were going to get along fine. I hope that one day you can consider me a friend just like I'll consider you one"
"I hope the same, Lady Yuzuriha" Kikyou replied.
With a slight nod Yuzuriha left to apparently dress for that meeting, hazel orbs turned to look at the targets once again, a small sigh escaped her lips as she walked to the quiver that rested on the floor and placed it over her shoulder. Carefully she walked back to Sesshoumaru's chamber and her own –that if you remember were inside his- she opened and closed the shoji door that led to her room, she placed the bow and the quiver to rest against a wall and then proceded to walk to the wardrobe, really not caring about what to wear she pulled a light crimson kimono out and walked to the folding screen.
The big room was elegantly arranged with flowers and expensive silk, the room was perfeclty lighted, it was plain and obvious to see that Lady Yuzuriha had once again made a great job with the place. All the lords and their daughters were silently sited in front of the many tables with food, the soft and alluring sound of some demoness that were playing some instruments to give a more soothing atmosphere to the room, but to him it wasn't working at all.
His golden orbs watched as the beautiful demoness with platinum blond hair –that currently was arranged in a complicated yet elegant hair style- as the expensive midnight blue silk kimono moved with her on the floor. She smiled at him when she finally came to sit in front of him, she sighed and took some random chopsticks and picked a piece of sashami from his own plate and ate it, he looked at her with a quirked eyebrow and silently waited.
"Hmph" The demoness placed the chopsticks back on the table and fixed her green/amber eyes on him "The food is great, you can eat it Sesshie-kun"
"Feh" He took the chopsticks and ate a bit of his food, after he shallowed it he looked at her "Don't call me Sesshie-kun again Shizuka"
Shizuka smiled at him "Whatever you say, Niichan"
"I expect that you will never call like that again" He looked at his little sister and quirked an eyebrow "Where is your husband?"
"Well you see, Chichihue wished to speak with Naraku about our lands" She turned to look at their parentas and her husband speaking "So since you're alone, I decided to make you company, Niichan"
"Hmph" He looked at his sister, he knew her to well and he knew she had another intention to be there more than the fact to keep him company, he knew her behavior due to the many times he took care of her "What do you want?"
"What are you talking about?" She innocently asked as she looked at him with well practiced confusion, just like she always did since she was little "I only wanted to be with you, what makes you think that I want something?"
'Without any doubt she wants something' He thought as he looked at the same expresion she always played on him when she was only a small pup "Because you never separate from your husband neither when he speaks with Chichihue and since I know you really well I know that you want something, so spare me from wasting time and tell me what do you want"
"Fine, I can trick you anymore" She looked at Sesshoumaru with a now serius expresion "Who was that human woman? The one that Naraku and I saw trying to escape?"
"She was trying to escape?" He asked and lightly growled when his sister nodded "Stupid ningen wench!"
Shizuka blinked at his words "Care to tell me who is her?"
"That wench is a present from Chichihue, he sent Jaken to the human village to bring a concubine for me, her sister was supposed to come but that wench took her sister place" He plain explained
"So that human is your concubine, but I could clearly see that she has a sacred aura, was she a miko by any chance?" She curiously asked and smiled when he pesadly nodded "Well I take that you haven't done anything yet cause her aura is still pure"
He glared daggers at his sister "That's not your problem"
"Fine, but I couldn't help but notice that she was hurt and that she was bleeding" She mused remembering that the fine and expensive silk was blood tainted in the shoulder area "Did you had anything to do with that?"
"And what if I did?" He looked at his sister with a cold expresion just like his voice "She's mine and I can do whatever I want with her, so don't get yourself involved in this, she's a simple ningen and inferior than me so I can do as I please"
"For Kami-sama!" She exclaimed really taken aback with his commentary "How can you say that?"
"Because she's nothing more but a mere toy that I'll use till I bore of it" He held gazes with his sister as he spoke again "To me she's nothing more than a mere object"
"I can't believe this, you have changed a lot, but still I love you even though you're not the same" Shizuka slowly stood up "By the way Chichihue wants you to speak with Lady Airi, he says that she will make a good mate"
"He wants me to speak with lord Sho daughter" He said not surprised that his father will seize that chance to maybe achive peace with the forest demons in the North "Where is she?"
"She's over there" She pointed to the green haired woman "But personally I don't like her, she seems to be a bit crazy"
After Shizuka say that she turned around and walked back to her black haired husband, that received her by placing his arm around her waist and pulling her close to him, from all the suitors that her sisted had once she was still a youngster Naraku had been the most appropiete choice for her, he was the lord of the Southern lands and his sister loved him, so she didn't minded at all when their father told her she was going to mate with him. Sesshoumaru shook his head and stood up ready to go and speak with Lady Airi, he really didn't know if that woman was crazy like his sister told him but he was going to find out soon.
