Chapter 2: The doll
Inuyasha woke up tiredly, looking towards his side the sun pouring into the room, his little ears twitching. Inuyasha stood up, rubbing his eyes as he walked into the kitchen. "Morning Inuyasha" Izaoi said kissing Inuyasha's forehead as Inuyasha gave off a small smile.
"Mommy's throwing another banquet today, will you go get some fruit from the cart in town" Inuyasha looked down to the ground, he never went in town by himself before and he honestly was a little scared. "Okay mommy" Izaoi gave him another kiss on the cheek handing him the money, "Go buy yourself something to eat as well"
Inuyasha smiled taking the small silver coins into his hands and tucking them into his pocket as he raced out the door.
The walk to the store was short from their house, just down the dirt road and there was the market. It was easy to find fruit too; it was the first stand from the dirt road. Inuyasha smiled as he got a bag, examining the fruit placing 2 oranges, 2 bananas, a pack of strawberries, and a small juice for himself.
"Here you go" Inuyasha said handing him the money, the guy looking over the stuff and the money. "Alright" he scuffed giving Inuyasha a small nod as Inuyasha ran up the dirt road, pausing as he saw a small doll.
"A dolly?" Inuyasha smiled picking her up, examining her as a little girl and a few boys came running up to him.
"We've been looking for that!"
"That's my sister's doll!" He pointed accusingly at Inuyasha, his ears flattening against his head.
"I..I just found it, here you go" Inuyasha said handing the doll to the little girl, the little girl blushed slightly, as she held her doll in her hands as she looked at Inuyasha.
"Um…Thank you" Inuyasha smiled slightly his ears twitching almost happily as he smiled two fangs being exposed.
The boys took a step backward while the girl stared in awe. "Wow!" she said as she took a step forward, "Can I touch your ears?" she asked, Inuyasha blushing slightly. "Well um…I …uh…I guess…" Inuyasha stuttered as the girl stood on her tiptoes rubbing his ears gently, a pleased purr escaping Inuyasha's mouth.
"Hey! Get away from my sister you freak!" Her brother said trembling slightly as he picked up a stone.
"Yea, get away from Suki!" Another boy chanted as they began to throw rocks towards the two.
"STOP!" Suki said holding her hands up the boys pausing, "He didn't do anything! He wasn't hurting me!" Suki said as her brother grabbed her by the wrists hiding her behind him.
"Throw more rocks"
"Hit the half breed"
Inuyasha paused as they continued to hit him with stones. "S-stop" he trembled backing up slightly. 'I'm the half breed?' he whimpered one of the rocks hitting him in the eye, Inuyasha holding it as he began to run off, the boys throwing rocks until he was out of range.
"Wait!" Suki called out running after him as he turned through the palace gates, even a few feet away, Suki could see the tears in his eyes. "Kai go home!" Suki said looking at them angrily, "I'm going to go apologize for your behavior"
"But Suki it's almost dinner" Kai complained, the other boys nodding in agreement.
"Fine, but first thing tomorrow I'm leaving!" Suki said angrily marching off towards the market, the kids obviously living near the area, holding her dolly close to her heart.
'I hope that boy's okay' Suki thought as Kai came up and grabbed her hand, Suki taking another quick look back at the palace before continuing on home.
Inuyasha cried as he looked at his reflection, pounding into the water. "What's a half breed? What makes me different?" Inuyasha said pounding into the water, pausing as his reflection rippled in the water. Inuyasha looked at his reflection; his eye was swollen shut a disgusting blue purple color, his left cheek looking very similar.
He still had the fruit; he had just bruised the oranges. Inuyasha sighed sipping at his juice setting it to the side, looking at his reflection. "Is it my hair? Or my ears? Or my fangs?" Inuyasha said looking down towards his reflection sad. "Why do I look this way? Mommy has black hair; she doesn't have yellow eyes either, or ears like mine." Inuyasha looked at them, sighing a huge smile slowly growing across his face. "I can look like the others! I can!"
