Ten Minutes Later
"WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY!" Aki yelled up the stairs as doors began opening and closing. Kit threw her balnket off and stood up in a fighting stance. Aki stood watching her as Kit got her barings. "You really gotta get used to being in the modern era." Aki said as she began walking up the steps. Kit followed tiredly.
"Hush you." Kit said as Aki stuck her tongue out and Kit went upstairs to her bedroom. Aki went and got the kids up, carrying Shippo into the kitchen as Kagome came down to make a quick breakfast.
"Okay! Where'd she go!" Kouga yelled as a door slammed in the attic.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! GET OUTTA HERE YOU HENTAI!" Kit's voice could be heard echoing through the house as Aki choked on her sugary cocoa laughing. Kouga came down blush with a red mark in the shaped of a lamp on the side of his face.
"It's not funny, it's embarrasing, and it hurts." Kouga said glaring at Aki who just kept laughing.
"Well, I'd say it's pretty damn funny." Aki replied as Kit came down slamming her luggage onto Kouga's foot.
"YEOUCH! Watch where you put that thing!" Kouga yelled holding his foot.
"Next time knock before entering! It's called manners!" Kit yelled into Kouga's face as Kouga began getting defensive.
"You slept down here last night! I thought that was where you were!" Kouga replied.
"YOU'RE STILL SUPPOSED TO KNOCK FIRST! APPARENTLY YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MANNERS!" Kit answered as InuYasha, Miroku, Sesshoumaru, and Sango came downstairs. Kit turned around and marched out the door, grabbing her jacket and the keys to one of the cars.
"What are you doing!" Kouga yelled.
"GOING TO THE STORE! I'LL BE BACK IN FIFTEEN!" Kit replied, slamming the car door shut, all of the demons (and half) cringed at the sound as Kit drove out of the driveway. Luckily, she was the safest driver, EVEN in a foul mood.
"Um, should I be asking about that?" Sango asked as she poored herself some coffee.
"Not unless you wanna get snapped at." Aki replied as she finished her sugar-cocoa.
"We had an argument that's all." Kouga growled as he marched up the steps. Miroku gave a questioning look at Aki as Sango poored InuYasha and Sesshoumaru coffee.
"He walked into her room without knocking while she was changing." Aki supplied laughing slightly as Sesshoumaru and InuYasha choked on their coffee.
"Ya, that would've started an argument between them." Miroku said as he took a cup of coffee from Sango and Sango handed another cup of coffee to Kagome who was still half asleep. Aki went upstairs to get her bags when Kit returned and Kit went into the kitchen grumbling something about 'foul-mouthed employees at low-life convenience stores'
"KERO! Are you packed yet!" Kit yelled as she took a backpack from the closet.
"Yes!" Kero called down.
"Then bring your stuff and get down here!" Kit called back.
"Coming!" Kero replied.
"I don't wanna see more than one bag either!" Kit yelled remembering the last trip they had taken about a month ago.
"I'll be down in a minute!" Kero said after a small hesitation. Kit sighed and shook her head smiling at her brother.
"Feel better?" InuYasha asked as Kit looked up.
"Huh? Oh, ya. You know us Aries. Ever the hot-headed ones." Kit said referring to her Astrological sign.
"Heh, ya, I guess." InuYasha replied as he took a peek at the things Kit had gotten.
"What are-? Oh, those. Heh, ya, just a few small things." Kit said.
"A dagger, and-are those your Tsai's? Where did you find them?" InuYasha asked as Kit picked one of the tsais up.
"Nah, these are simple replicas, but they were made by a trusted friend of mine. She also made me one of my old outfits, but it's in my bag right now." Kit replied.
"Wow, their amazing replicas." InuYasha said marveling the craftsmanship.
"Well, I told you-she's a trusted friend." Kit said as she heard Kero coming down. She quickly took the dagger and tsais and placed them in the backpack as Kero came into the kitchen.
"What's up sis?" Kero asked as he gave her a hug. She returned the hug as Kouga came down rubbing his cheek.
"Oh, Kouga, I wanted to apologize for my rash behavior. Sorry I threw the lamp at you. I just...grabbed the nearest object and threw it." Kit said laughing nervously as Kouga waved his hands infront of his chest.
"No, you had every right to be mad at me. I was out of line, I should have knocked first." Kouga said as an awkward silence filled the room.
"So what are you guys gonna do first?" InuYasha asked, breaking the silence first.
"Well, Aki, Sesshoumaru and Rin are going to the western lands then the Southern lands. Kouga, Kero and I will be going to the Northern territories, then to the East and finally, to the middle, where we'll meet up with Aki, Sesshoumaru, and Rin." Kit explained. "We're gonna take pictures and write something like a journal. All for the hell of it." Kit added as she pulled out a camera with tons of film stashed in the backpack. As she put the camera in the backpack Kero sighed.
"You like pictures to much." Kero said.
"Hey, it's not my fault. Aki came up with the number of films we would take. And we have to use up ALL of them." Kit said laughing as Kouga and Kero sighed simultaneously.
"As long as you carry all of that I don't care what you bring." Sesshoumaru said as he came downstairs in loose tan pants and a white tank. Aki grumbled something about 'men dogs' and then smiled sweetly as Sesshoumaru looked at her menacingly. Aki had changed into a loose t-shirt with a pair of jeans that had belts crossing in front and behind. Rin was sitting on her back as she carried her down. Rin had gotten dressed in a pair of jeans with a 'Hello Kitty' yellow t-shirt on and her hair up in a ponytail with her bangs down. Kero had successfully gotten his sister to sit down as he sat on her lap. Sango had come into the room a couple minutes before and she was now sitting behind Kit putting the older girl's hair up in a tight braid that reached just above her shoulders.
"Of course I'll carry my stuff you moron." Aki replied as Sesshoumaru growled. Aki pointed to Rin and the growling ceased.
"That's a little cheap shot wouldn't you say?" Kit asked Aki as Kagome came downstairs with her big yellow pack. Kit looked at the backpack for a minute before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Ya, it is but who cares." Aki replied.
"What in the world is so funny?" Kagome asked.
"That bag is what, you sure you don't need a donkey to pull it along?" Kit asked as she tried to calm down.
"Shut up Kit. You know as well as I do that I used this everytime I went back in the feudal era." Kagome said stroking the backpack lovingly.
"True enough. But might I say that right now, you are SERIOUSLY scaring me?" Kit added as Kagome stopped stroking the pack and stuck her tongue out at Kit. Shippo was sitting on Kagome's shoulder dressed in his old clothes while Kagome was dressed in a longer red skirt, to about her knees, with a blue short sleeved shirt. Kero yawned and stood up.
"We should prolly leave now. I'M DRIVING!" Kit said as Aki tried to get the keys before the red-head. Aki growled but Kit kept the keys as Aki, Sesshoumaru, Kero, and Rin took their luggage out to the car. Kit gave Sango and Miroku good-bye hugs and a 'farewell' slap to Miroku for trying to feel her butt. "We'll see you guys later." Kit added to Kagome as she grabbed her bags and Kouga grabbed her wrist to drag her to the car again.
"Hurry up, I wanna check my lands soon ya' know." Kouga said as he buckled his seat belt.
"Everyone buckled?" Kit asked as Kero finished buckling his seatbelt. Aki and Sesshoumaru had their seatbelts on and Aki was trying to fix Rin's booster seat. Kit got her seatbelt on as she started up the car and pulled out of the driveway, heading for the Higurashi shrine. About an hour later Kit stopped the car, got out and stretched. Kouga woke up startled slightly as he looked around.
"Where are we?" He asked as he got out of the car.
"We're at the shrine Metal Fer Brains." Kit said as Sesshoumaru and Aki got out afte rAki had successfully gotten Rin out of the booster seat. Kit tossed Kero the keys as Kero opened the trunk and they all got their luggage out. When Kit had locked the car and pocketed the keys, they headed up the steps to find Mrs. Higurashi and Souta at the sacred tree. The others went directly to the well house but Kit and Kero stopped and waited for them to be done praying.
"Hello Souta!" Kero called out as Kit laughed slightly.
"Our apologies for coming so early. We didn't realize you would be praying." Kit said calmly as Kero and Souta gave each other friendly/ brotherly hugs.
"It's quite alright. Please have fun in the feudal era, and if you run into any trouble, don't hesitate to cme back." Mrs. Higurashi said with a kind smile. Kit gave her a hug and thanked her for the use of the well before giving Souta a hug.
"Your sister sends her love Souta. To you as well Mrs. Higurashi. Thank you again. Have a good month!" Kit called as she bowed and walked over to the well where the others were waiting. They waved to Mrs. Higurashi and Souta before jumping into the well. Kero gave Souta one more hug, thanked Mrs. Higurashi and gave her a hug as well before running over to the well and jumping in. Kit laughed, waved and jumped in as the Higurashis laughed and prayed for their safety.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Feudal Era-ten minutes later
Everyone had stopped to change out of their modern clothes and into more 'proper' clothing for the time period. Kouga, Sesshoumaru and Rin were in their regular clothes with weapons (aside from Rin) and all. Aki was dressed in a pair of pants like Sesshoumaru's and a black shirt like his as well, basically it was Sesshoumaru's outfit, all black with a few 'modifications' in the shape of the armor.
Kit had a pair of black shorts, with a red tail protruding from her rear while she had a black top with some, but little, armor. She had two Tsais on her thighs (facing outwards) and a dagger hidden in the small of her back to enable easy reach. Her hair was in a bun and her eyes were overshadowed in a light blue. Her lips were 'undressed' but now looked like a darker red, as her fangs only slightly overlapped them, her eyes were much brighter and slitted, with her red ears protruding from the top of her head and she also had three dark blue scars coming from her cheek bone to her ears.
Kero was dressed in something like Kouga's outfit, although his was a lighter color. His ears came out of his head, reminding them all of a golden retriever, his tail was wagging, he had two dark navy blue scars on each on of his cheeks to his ears and his fangs over-lapped his mouth slightly as he laughed at Kit. Kit gave him a questioning glance as she began giggling at him. The others couldn't see why for a minute before they notived that the siblings foreheads were glowing the shape of the star on their foreheads. Kouga's sun birthmark was also glowing as well as Sesshoumaru's moon birthmark. Aki looked at Rin with a mock-sad expression.
"I feel left out now." Aki said pointing to everyone's glowing foreheads. Both girls began to laugh until the glowing stopped.
"Well, I'll catch you later Aki. Good-bye Sesshoumaru. Good-bye Rin! We'll see ya later!" Kit said as she picked up her backpack and began walking off with the other two boys trailing behind her. Aki, Sesshoumaru and Rin gave small waves as they headed off to the Western lands.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Northern Lands
"Mommy! Kero and I are home! We brought a friend!" Kit said as three boys (who appeared younger than Kit but older than Kero) came running down the steps. The oldest one picked Kit up and put her over his shoulder 'fireman style' as he spun around.
"AH! MOMMY! KARO IS SWINGING ME AROUND AGAIN!" Kit yelled out.
"Karo! Leave your sister alone! She just got back after all." A woman with red waist length curly hair said as she walked over to Kit who was still dizzy from the spin. The woman wrapped Kit in a hug as Kero joined in.
"Good morning, Mommy. Oh, this is Kouga. He's the Prince of the Eastern Lands." Kit said extending her arm to Kouga.
"Oh. I see." 'Mommy' said as Kouga and Kit blushed.
"Mommy! It's not like that!" Kit said as Kero and the other three boys began laughing. Kit growled at them as they shut up.
"Oh, I know Kit, I know. I was only teasing." Kit's mom said as she touched Kit's nose gently with her finger. She bowed to Kouga. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kouga. I hope you find our home to your liking, as long as you are here, are welcomed as family." She said. Kouga bowed to her in return.
"Thank you. Lady-" Kouga began as Kit's mom began laughing.
"It is Lady Kala, but you may call me either Kala, or as my children call me, 'mommy'." Lady Kala replied with a kind smile as Kouga laughed lightly.
"Yes, Lady Kala, but I think, I'd prefer to call you Kala." Kouga said kindly. Kala smiled as she nodded.
"Very well. If you would like, one of my boys could show you around, or these two, could as well." Kala said. "This is Karo, he's the second oldest in the family-," Kala began as she pointed to the boy who had thrown Kit over his shoulder. He looked to be about 16 and he had a mixed color of hair between Kala's and apparently his fathers. His eyes were light brown and he was about one inch taller than Kit. And a bit more muscular as well. "This is Konoshi. We call him Kono for short, he's the third oldest-," Kala continued pointing to a boy with glasses who was about an inch shorter than Kit. He had red hair like Kit's and his eyes were the same light brown as his older brothers. He bowed politely to Kouga as Kit gave him a hug after wards, and Kala continued on as Karo started to tease Kit by giving her noogies and etc. "And this is our second youngest. His name is Kalin." Kala said happily as Kalin smiled and waved. Kalin had dark blonde hair and one pastel blue eye and one brown eye. He was an inch or two taller than Kero, which was evident as Kero gave his older brother a hug and the boys began laughing for no apparent reason.
"I also have sisters but knowing my parents, their probably stashed away reading and studying or something of the sort." Kit said sticking out her tongue at Karo who had finished torturing her.
"Kitrika!" Kala said as Kit blushed.
"Mommy! Don't call me that!" Kit said as Karo laughed at Kit.
"don't say things like that, your sisters CHOOSE to study on their time, and anyways, they are in the inner garden. I thought we'd surprise them that you were coming home." Kala said as Kit waved to her mother.
"I'll be right back mommy!" Kit added as she and Kero ran over to a pair of double doors. They opened them up and Kouga gave a questioning look as if to say 'can I follow?' Konoshi nodded to Kouga as if to say 'you're allowed to follow' and Kouga walked behind the two siblinds that had just about torn through the house to the inner garden where shrieks of joy could be heard.
"Kitrika! It's so good to see you again!" A happy voice cried.
"You to Kero! It's wonderful to see you both again!" Another voice, very similar to Kit's said.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I brought a friend home with me." Kit said laughing nervously.
"Oooooooooooooo." Three girl's voice rang out.
"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Kit exclaimed as the other girls began laughing. Kouga stepped into the garden to find three girls laughing at a flustered Kit and a histarical Kero. "Oh, Kouga. Excuse my sisters, at current, their idiocy prevails over their manners." Kit said as the girls straightened up immediatly.
"You mean THAT'S your friend? Prince Kouga of the Midnight Wolf Tribe in the Eastern Lands?" One of the girls said as Kit laughed.
"Wrong Kouga girls, he's Prince Kouga of the Eastern Lands, but he is not of the Midnight Wolf Tribe. Dingbats, that tribe is in our territory." Kit said. "By the way, these are my sisters, Kyla-," A girl with long waist golden hair smiled at Kouga as her green eyes brightened. She looked to be about the size of Karo, giving her the appearance that she was older than Kit but in reality, she was younger than Karo. "This one is Klara-," Kit added pointing to a girl with a mixed color of hair down to her knees. She had blue eyes like Kits nd she stood an inch or two shorter. "And this is my youngest sister, Kylisha. We all call her Kyli for short though." Kit said as Kyli bowed, she had long red hair down to her ankles that was put up in a braid at the moment, she had one pastel blue eye and one emerald green eye. She stood about Kero's height, if not about an inch or so shorter than him.
"Wow, big family." Kouga said in surprise.
"Ya, it is." Kit said.
"One question, what's with all the 'K's?" Kouga asked.
"It's a family tradition, the eldest sibling, marries someone who's name starts with a K nd all of their kin are named starting with the letter K. Our whole family goes by that tradition so when Kyli gets married even she will name her children with Ks." Kyla said with a smile.
"Ignore her, she's probably the most annoying one out of our whole family. Well, aside from Karo." Kit said. Kyla stuck her tongue out at Kit who just ignored Kyla. Kouga laughed as Kit stretched and splashed Kyla with water from the fountain.
"Oh, just so you know, Kit is the oldest one out of our family." Klara said as Kouga turned his attention to the other girls.
"First comes Kitrika, then Karo, then Kyla, then Klara, than Konoshi, then Kalin, then Kero, and then me, Kylisha." Kyli said as she listed off her brothers and sisters.
"Oh, so that means that Kit has to follow that tradition?" Kouga asked.
"Yes, and the thing is, she swore to our parents that she would only do that if she loved the person. Not for the letter that their name starts with. I can't really blame her though." Klara said as Kit and Kyla could be heard shrieking in the fountains. Kero soon joined in on the fun as Kouga laughed."Ya, after only knowing her for about half a year, I can't exactly lame her either. She has to put up with a lot and I get the feeling that she takes up the job as 'Mother Hen' at our house, helping the little kids out and all." Kouga said as Kyli and Klara watched their siblings 'water wrestle'.
"OKAY! Who's water wrestling without me!" Karo's voice yeled from behind Kouga. Karo walked over to the three siblings in an angered tone and then after getting splashed my Kit, joined in on the fun and before the others knew it everyone, even Kouga had joined in on the splashing and screaming.
"Kids! Time for dinner, get up here and get ready! We're having a dance to celebrate Kero and Kit returning!" Kala said from a window as Kit groaned.
"I hate dances." She mumbled as she got out of the fountain and went inside to get dried.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Weastern Lands
"Okay, this is your house?" Aki asked in surprise as Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Aki walked up to the castle. Sesshoumaru nodded as he stepped up to the door and opened it widely.
"OY! Look! Is Lord Sess'oumaru!" A girl with silver hair swept up into a bun said as she ran over and gave the older Youkai a hug. Sesshoumaru shook his head with a sigh and gave the girl's head a pat. The girl let go and grabbed Rin in a hug, swinging her around with ease. After she put the girl down she looked to Aki and gave a deep bow. "You must be Aki, it is a pleasure to meet you." The girl said bowing.
"Ya, and you are?" Aki asked slightly freaked.
"This is Zala. She's a Snow Tiger demon from the Northern lands." Sesshoumaru said as Zala smiled.
"Yup yup. It's nice to see all of you. Jaken's been on my ass all day about how I haven't 'properly cleaned anything'." Zala said with a roll of her eyes as they all heard the smaller demon's voice ringing through the castle.
"Mi'Lord! Mi'lord you're back!" Jaken cried as he ran to the door. And stopped dead in his tracks. "No, not her." Jaken said looking at Aki in fear. Aki's grin spread across her face meanacingly as she took a step forward.
"I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack." Aki said eerily as Jaken ran away screaming like a little human girl (no offense to Rin though).
"Not now Aki. I want to show both of you to your rooms." Sesshoumaru said as Aki was about to go after Jaken to torture him.
"Oh, fine! Take all the fun outta this!" Aki said glaring at Sesshoumaru.
"I know." Sesshoumaru replied as Rin walked ahead of him and Aki and Zala walked by him.
"So, I get a room with a window-right?" Aki asked.
"You get what you get." Sesshoumaru replied as Aki stuck her tongue out at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru meerly gave her a glance out of the corner of his eyes as Zala tried to suppress her giggles. She whispered something into Sesshoumaru's ear which made him twinge pink slightly. "NO!" He yelled at Zala who started laughing.
"I doubt it!" Zala said in a sing song voice as she ran into-what appeared to be- her room.
"What was that about? And why is 'The great Sesshoumaru' blushing?" Aki asked teasingly.
"She asked if you were to be my Lady." Sesshoumaru replied as Aki blushed crimson and glared at the door to Zala's room.
"Why that little-." Aki began as Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist to keep her from killing Zala, hey-he's gotta protect his general now doesn't he?
"This is your room Rin." Sesshoumaru said opening a door to a yellow room with a bed and a toy chest, as well as a vanity and a dresser.
"Thank you Lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin said, hugging him and going to her room. Aki's eyes softened as she watched Rin go into her room.
"Oh! I almost forgot! I didn't take any pictures yet!" Aki cried.
"You can explore and take them after I have given you your room." Sesshoumaru said as Aki looked at him in annoyance, and finally gave in to follow. Here it was his domain, and not her place to say no. After one door away from Rin's room, Sesshoumaru opened the door and held his hand out to say that this was her room.
"Thanks." Aki muttered as she threw her bag on the bed.
"Now you may explore and take pictures." Sesshoumaru said as Aki rolled her eyes. There was a window seat at the window and once Sesshoumaru had closed her door she sat at the window.
'How come I always feel trapped inside?' Aki asked herself in her mind as she took a picture of the garden outside her window and then went outside her room to find Rin going the way she was. "Rin! Where're ya goin'?" Aki asked as she caught up to the girl easily.
"I was going to go out to the gardens. Would you like to come?" Rin asked sweetly. Aki was about to agree when she got an idea.
"Hey, you wanna come with me? I'm gonna go all the way to the well and back so I can take pictures." Aki said as Rin smiled and agreed. After they had been out for about three hours they made it back to the well and then they began to walk back, when they got to the castle again it was lunch time and both girls were STARVING. Sesshoumaru was out on a round, checking his lands. Aki went to the kitchen to find Zala making some soup.
"'Ello! Would you guys like some soup?" Zala asked with a smile.
"Ya, we're starved." Aki said as Zala laughed.
"Good, cause I t'ink I made to mu'." Zala said laughing a little more as Aki checked out the humongous stew pot.
"Ya, I'd say that. What do you think Rin, can all three of us finish this off, or will we need to save some for Sesshoumaru?" Aki asked as Rin smiled.
"I think we'll need to save some!" Rin replied as Aki chuckled. Then Aki pulled out her camera and took a picture of Zala cooking.
"W'at is t'at?" Zala asked in confusion.
"It's a camera. You take pictures with it. Umm, drawings that can be immediatly drawn." Aki explained as Zala nodded.
"I t'ink I understand." Zala replied.
"Mmm, that smells good." Aki added as the stew's aroma began to fill the room.
"Yup, it'll be done in a couple minutes." Zala answered.
"Yay!" Aki said as she got some bowls and spoons out. When the stew was done and they had eaten their fill they put the pot into a chilled area so it couldn't rot.
"Well, would you like to see t'e gardens? We 'ave lovely flowers. " Zala said to Aki as Rin went to the door.
"Why not, since Kit lives in the Northern lands she might like to see the varity of flowers down here." Aki said thinking about Kit's love for flowers.
"Follow me Aki!" Rin said as she ran out the door and both Aki and Zala followed after. Once the girls were outside Aki sat on a bench and looked around. So many colors, a patch of pink here, Aki shivered at the thought of touching the color, a big blue patch next to a huge red patch. Some black flowers towards the back, white flowers in the front, purple at the side, next to the pink patch, orange flowers next to the black, giving it the appearance of Halloween, and some green plants next to the purple ones. Yellow flowers were next to the white and there were Trees towards the middle. A path walked around to where a small maze could be found, made of ivy and decorated with plants that climbed the ivy.
"It's beautiful in here. Kit would love it." Aki said as she snapped pictures of the patches and finally a picture of the whole garden.
"O', do you mean Princess Kitrika of the Nort'ern Lands?" Zala asked as Aki thought for a mibute.
"Ya, I suppose that's her. Why, you know her?" Aki asked. Zala nodded.
"I lived in t'e Nort'ern lands for many years. But w'en I moved down 'ere I learned t'at the Princess had left t'e Nort'ern Lands. 'As s'e now returned?" Zala asked. Aki took her words in carefully to make sure she knew what Zala was saying.
"Yes, but only for a visit. Nothing more." Aki said.
"O', Lady Kala will be saddened once s'e learns of t'is." Zala said.
"Lady Kala...that's Kit's mom, right?" Aki asked. Zala nodded as Rin started pointing to the maze.
"Let's go. Rin appears to want us to follow her to t'e maze." Zala said as she walked over to Rin.
"Come on Aki!" Rin called as Aki stayed where she was for a minute. Then taking a picture of Rin and Zala infront of the maze she walked over to them to go into the maze. After an hour of dead ends and turns the girls found themselves at the end of the maze, in a circle of flowers with a fountain.
"Wow. We really need to bring Kit down here some day." Aki muttered as she snapped a picture of the fountain and flowers, some pictures with and without the other girls.
"I beleive t'at when Princess Kitrika was young. 'Er mot'er and fat'er broug't 'er down 'ere to play wit' young Lord Sess'oumaru." Zala said. "But many t'ings were added to t'e castle." Zala added.
"Ya, you're prolly right. I mean, they were probably playmates a lot, growing up. That's how come they know eachother so well." Aki said.
"You don't t'ink t'ey are romantically invovled, do you?" Zala asked as Rin picked a few flowers.
"Nah, their just good friends. Sesshoumaru only thinks of Kit as a friend, maybe as a sister, but nothing more." Aki replied as she began to go the way they had come. Zala and Rin soon followed, with Zala agreeing to what Aki had said.
"LORD SESSHOUMARU!" Rin cried as she spotted the youkai's silver hair. she ran over to him and gave him a hug along with the flowers she had gotten.
"Good afternoon, Lord Sess'oumaru." Zala said. Aki waved and Sesshoumaru inclined his head to both girls.
"Did you get some good pictures today?" Sesshoumaru asked Aki.
"Ya, you gotta get Kit down her someday, she loves flowers." Aki said.
"I know, when we were little my father started a garden for her. I guess he thought of her as something of a daughter. But she just, wasn't made for the western lands, although nto very far away, she was never really at home. I think, the only land she could ever really love, is the Northern lands." Sesshoumaru replied. Aki nodded.
"Your right, she's not one to make a new home, she prefers the home that she's always had." Aki added.
"Well! Time for dinner to get started!" Zala said as she walked off to the kitchen.
"I'm gonna go help Zala. She's actually not so bad, once you talk to her for a little while." Aki said as she followed Zala, snapping a photo now and then to capture a statue or a meural.
"Huh, she gets along with Zala? I think that's a first for Zala. And Aki." Sesshoumaru said to no one in particular.
"What do you mean Lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked.
"Nothing of importance Rin. Why don't you go help those to make dinner." Sesshoumaru suggested as Rin went off to follow Aki.
