My Feudal Fairytale
Chapter 6:
Princess Kagome
As Inuyasha closed in onto the castle grounds, he was highly annoyed to see a person running frantically out to meet him.
"Master Inuyasha!" Myoga exclaimed. "Where were you?" Inuyasha pulled on a very convincing face.
"I took Kirara out for a midnight flight," he explained. He scratched his head sheepishly. "I was really not. Sorry." That was a downright lie.
"Please tell someone before you leave!" Myoga told him. "Everybody is up searching for you. They won't be happy with what you've told them." Inuyasha did not change his expression.
"Geez, I already said that I'm sorry." Myoga was not deterred.
"Your parents were worried sick!" No reaction whatsoever. "I left Koharu in the kitchens. You know how clumsy she can be!" Inuyasha shuddered. Although the old man was his advisor and guard, he was also a main chef in the kitchens. The castle food was great, but Koharu was NOT a good cook...
"All right, already," Inuyasha mumbled. As Myoga left, secretly smiling with victory, a swarm of worried servants found their way to the prince.
"Where were you? Are you injured? Were you alone? Tell someone!" The questions and comments raged on.
"Shut up!" he snarled. Pushing tired and confused servants away, Inuyasha stomped back to bed.
'Why the hell do they keep following me?' he thought angrily.'It's all fake, I know it is. They just want to get close to the royal family and get paid.'
Bearing these thoughts in mind, Inuyasha's tempter stayed at its current position. As he passed few more castle workers, they cautiously avoided him.
Upon reaching his room, Inuyasha locked it and tossed the key onto his desk. It was then that he remembered what he had seen and experienced.
He went over to his comfortable bed and sat down, his head in his hands. What was happening? And who was Kaede? How did she appear?
Walking over to his private bathroom, Inuyasha turned on the tap and splashed his face. The cool, refreshing liquid helped him to wake up.
Removing his sweaty clothes, Inuyasha threw them to the side. He pulled on his sleeping garments and stood by his window.
Enjoying the cool breeze, the prince ploppedhimself onto his bed and fell into an instant sleep.
"Kirara!" Inuyasha crooned. Kirara opened one eye, but shut it once more. Inuyasha was getting really ticked off. He had taken all that extra precaution just to sneak to the kitchens and back to her.
"I have food!" Kirara slowly opened her eyes and went to Inuyasha's hand, licking it clean of all edible substances.
They went outside and Kirara transformed into a very large cat. (a/n: there are such things as sorcerers in these times, this is just an enchantment on Kirara.)
Looking into the still dark sky, Inuyasha could faintly see the outline of the moon. It was not even dawn. Returning to the now waiting Kirara, Inuyasha seated himself on her back.
"Let's go."
At this, the large cat leapt into the air and did not come down. For Inuyasha, this was normal. But for other countries, this was the most spectacular thing ever!
Inuyasha let his long, black hair flow behind him as they flew. He loved his hair, unlike most people, but it could be a nuisance at times.
Approaching Tokyo Castle, Inuyasha looked around. Nope, no weird old lady's wearing odd cloaks.
As Kirara landed, Inuyasha jumped off and began to walk closer. The cat began to follow.
"Kirara, stay out here," Inuyasha instructed. "You keep a look out. Change back into your smaller form." Nodding, Kirara burst into flames and from them appeared a cute little kitten. She meowed and prepared to stay and watch.
Setting his gaze onto the old building in front of him, Inuyasha walked up to it. Without realizing it, he had already entered through some kind of door. He shivered. It was an odd feeling.
Continuing his walk, he looked about his surroundings. The stone walls seemed to be frozen in time; some had already crumbledfrom old age.
"Hello." Inuyasha jumped up and turned around slowly. It was a girl. The same girl that he had seen through his telescope.
There was something wrong with her. She was white all over. Not only her clothing, but her skin. The girl was also floating in the air.
"W-w-who a-a-a-are y-you?" he stuttered uncontrollably. The young woman in front of him smiled sadly.
"My name is Kagome," she replied. "Princess Kagome."
