Disclaimer: once again I do not own Inuyasha or the song "Crazy little thing called love" by Queen.
Okay so this is the REAL sequel to a new love and new crystal. I wasn't real happy with the way the other story was turning out and don't worry, Kaori does stay alive in this one. I know that the title is the name of a song, but it's not the same thing obliviously.
Inside out
Chapter 1:
Three years and coutin'
Short prologue:
Hi, I'm Lady Kaori of the Western Lands. About three years ago I fell down the same well as my friend Kagome did and it also changed my life forever also. There I learned about Naraku, the Shikon jewel and the jewel shards and everyone else, including Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's half brother. But long story short; I ended up "helping" as fur-ball says, but we all know he couldn't have killed Naraku with out me, with Naraku's defeat. And I also learned about my self and my past. I ended up melting the ice heart of Sesshomaru and I mated him. Kagome and Inuyasha mated and Miroku and Sango got married. Inuyasha and Kagome have two beautiful quarter dog-demons; a boy and girl; girl-Kata, boy-Ryu. Miroku and Sango also have two children a boy and girl: Boy-Kin, girl-Maeko.
Sesshomaru and I have Rin; who is now 11; and a beautiful hybrid named Katana. As Inuyasha figured, she became a handful. So here is the story after the story.
one year later:
"Daddy, watch!" a three year old half dog-demon yelled out for her father's attention from a very high place in a very high tree. Sesshomaru turned at the sound of his daughter's voice and nearly jumped out of his skin at the sight that lay before him. Katana jumped from where she was on the tree and just let her body sail down.
"Stupid kid," Sesshomaru said to himself as he ran full speed after his trouble making daughter. Finally when Sesshomaru was directly under Katana, he jumped into the air and caught her in his arms. "Katana, wait till your mother hears about this," Sesshomaru said in a strong tone he used only for her. Katana's ears dropped at the words. She was quite the rest of the way back to the castle.
"JAKEN!" Sesshomaru's voice rang through the quite castle. He waited there, with his daughter still in his arms, for the little green toad demon. Finally Jaken appeared in the doorway and started to run to his lord and heir the thorn.
"Yes, Ma'lord?" Jaken looked at Katana weirdly then back to Sesshomaru.
"Kaori told you to watch Katana today as she and I went and talk to the lords and ladies of the east and southern lands. And when I went out to look for you two guess what I found; Katana jumping out of a very high tree," Sesshomaru growled out at Jaken. Jaken gulped knowing he was in for it.
"I'm sorry, Ma'lord, I thought Rin was watching her," Jaken used her as his excuse.
"Jaken, my father always used to say 'excuses are like belly-buttons, you have them, but they're useless'," a female voice scolded. Sesshomaru smiled as his mate came out of the shadows and came over the fighting group. "Jaken, you know Rin is with Ah-Uh going to Kaede's village to ask when they want us to arrive for the jewel festival in three days. So explain to me how Rin could be watching her sister when she's all the way in the Eastern lands?" Kaori asked the green demon. Jaken just stood there quite "Thought so. Honey, what do you think?"
Sesshomaru smirked evilly at Jaken. "Jaken you are to become Katana's guardian from now on, until she has mated, what no, until I leave you of your duties as her guardian," Sesshomaru flat out told his daughter and the small demon. Kaori started too laughed at the response after about one seconded after it started; it sounded like this.
Jaken: "No, Master, why, please don't, I beg of you, please!"
Katana: "Daddy! I don't want to be stuck with him! He can't even throw a decent punch for kami's sake! Please daddy! Mommy, knock some sense into your man! Please for me, your only daughter!"
Sesshomaru and Kaori looked at each other then sighed. "That's that and that's final!" Sesshomaru yelled at them. Katana's ears dropped and Jaken sighed and walked off to his room; Katana soon fallowed suite.
"Lady Kaori! Lord Sesshomaru! I'm back!" called a familiar young female voice. Kaori smiled and ran from the castle to the castle gates to great Rin. Rin smiled and ran to greet Kaori as well. "Lady Kaori!"
"Rin!" Kaori said happily as she hugged her adopted daughter and kissed her on the cheek. Sesshomaru smiled warmly as he saw the two before him as he walked to greet Rin as well.
"How was your trip, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked. Rin pulled away from Kaori and curtsied before the lord as Sesshomaru returned it with a bow.
"Fine, Lord Sesshomaru. I ran into some demons on the way there, but there was this fire-ice demon that saved me; his name was Toshi. He is about four years older then Katana in human years, but about ten in demon years," Rin said to him. Kaori smiled as she walked Rin into the castle ad listened to the rest of Rin's story, Sesshomaru on the other hand had stopped and ran the name 'Toshi' through his head a couple of times before it clicked and a light bulb went off in his head.
Later that night:
Sesshomaru watched as his mate tucked their daughter into bed and shut the shoji. "Kaori, what did my brother and the miko say?" Sesshomaru asked his mate. Kaori looked at him.
"They want us to be there in one and half days. That means we must leave tomorrow night. Sesshomaru, do you think Jaken can actually handle keeping track of Katana?" Kaori asked him worriedly. Sesshomaru wrapped one of his arms around Kaori and pulled her closer.
"Kaori I'm going to state the truth here and now and your not going to like it, but…Katana is going to put Jaken through hell and Jaken is going to make Katana very pissed off a lot, but I think in the long run it's the best for both of them, because it going to tech Katana how to coupe with other people and demons abilities and it's going to teach Jaken to keep up and how to handle more then some of Naraku's siamyosho (spell it right?). Trust me, after a year or two it will be fine," Sesshomaru said to Kaori.
Kaori laughed as they headed to their bedroom. After about thirty minutes later Kaori and Sesshomaru were in their bed just talking. Like discussing things about the land and other things. "Kaori, I need to tell you about some demon and hanyou customs,"
"Like what?" Kaori asked not sure about this one.
"Well, when demons are high-ranking like me or Katana or even Inuyasha, even though Inuyasha didn't do this one or any other one for that matter, they become betrothed. And since Katana is coming to the age that the betrothing starts I thought…,"
"No," Kaori cut off Sesshomaru simply.
"Kaori, it's custom. Rin has to go through it as well," Sesshomaru fought back
"But Rin is not even Demon or Hanyou," Kaori questioned.
"I know, but since she was adopted by a demon lord and his mate she must do the same things as Katana," Sesshomaru's voice started to get an edge to it.
"Wait, when did I lose my name and become a 'demon lord's mate'?" Kaori bit back at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru glared at Kaori.
"Kaori, I already thought of a couple people for Katana, either Toshi, the heir to both the fire and ice demon tribes, or Kozue, heir to the western and northern wolf demon tribes," Sesshomaru already started making plans without Kaori's consent.
Kaori shot a glare at Sesshomaru and then stormed out of their room to their daughter's planning to sleep as far away from Sesshomaru as she could. "….Oh boy…this is going to be a long night…,"Sesshomaru said as he went after is mate to bring her back to bed.
5 minutes later
"PURITY WALL!" Kaori shouted. As she did a light bursted from her hand to the ground and made a wall of pure miko energy forcing Sesshomaru to stop in his tracks.
"KAORI, PUT DOWN THE WALL AND COME BACK TO BED!" Sesshomaru demeaned.
"NO!" and with that Kaori stomped off and slammed Katana's door and went to bed. Sesshomaru sighed as his back slid down the wall of the hall. He planned to wait there until his mate fell asleep and wall of energy fell.
Finally after what seemed like forever the energy wall fell. Sesshomaru lifted himself off the ground and walked to his daughter's room. He opened the shoji and peered in. finally he spotted Kaori sleeping next to Katana. Sesshomaru walked over and scooped Kaori into his arms and took her back to their bedroom.
Katana heard her father enter her room and take her mother back to their bedroom. And then about five minutes later him talking with about the betroth thing again. "…oh boy…tomorrow night is going to be a long trip…," and with that Katana went back to sleep, soon to be joined by Rin, who was annoy of being woken up by the lord and lady of the castle.
Okay so this is the first chapie of the rewritten squeal. I know it's short but just give me time and they become longer. R&R. lyl.
Lady of the crimson night
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
By queen:
This thing called love,
I just can't handle it
This thing called love,
I must get 'round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby) in a cradle all night
It swings it jives
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
There goes my baby
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat
I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
