Chapter 11

Later on in the day around evening time, Niokay wanted to catch up with Kagome and decided to follow her to her room. Docani was busy arranging documents and training the troops of the Army. Tengi followed Niokay just because he was curious. He realy didn't need a good excuse becasue he was goofy but mature at the same time. It's wierd to be 16.

So all three were huddled up in Kagome's chambers while Rin and Anna were in their room drawing quitely and hopefully getting along.

"Where the HELL is he?" Kagome didn't like Sesshomaru's hospitality. If he brought her here for, Kami knows what ,then he should at least show his dumbass face.

"Oh, he's been on the look for this Chintado person since sun rise. He says that Chintado's hide out may not be that far from the western lands."

"Iie, that is only there to fool you. It is another illusion. He is damned to be blinded so easily." She was pacing across the room by now. Tengi was laying on the floor in one area and Niokay was sitting in a chair near the door. The candels were lit and the room glowed.

"Clam down, he'll be back in a few hours" Niokay said

"I don't care when he'll be back, I care when I'll go" Kagome said finally settling down at the balcony. It was her thinking place other than the tree.

"(snort) Oh, I'm sorry. I dozed off, wasn't listening. What happened?" Tengi asked

"Kagome wants to leave" Niokay informed him.

"Well I don't blame her. I wanna leave too, Hmp. He has some nerve strangling my sister and then kiddnapping Kagome to this unknown palace." Tengi said proud with his arms folded.

"Unknown? This palace is nearly Kagome's home, if it weren't for an incident long ago." Niokay explained eyeing Kagome with a smart look. Kagome looked back at her with a "Don't start" look.

"What are you talking about Home?" Tengi asked once again confused.

"Oh, she didn't tell you? Kagome stayed here for a hole season. It was the best summer ever and..."

"And yet I had no access to my powers, the whole three months,what so ever and was on the run ever since." Kagome cut off Niokay. She was still starring out at the ocean.

"I bet you missed this room though" Niokay teased.

"Hold on, Hold on. This was your room as a pup?Tengi asked amazed.

"Of course as a human. Why do you think that I refused the gold room in the first place?" He was giving Kagome a gawking strange look of awe. "I wanted my room and not to be thrown about. I mean... it's still my room right?"

"Well when you put it that way" Tengi agreed.

"Ah, Yes. I remeber your first kiss also." Niokay said with a day dreaming look. Kagome gave an "ugh" because she knew that's all it took for Tengi to go busting out laughing.

"You, haha, had, ha, a first, hahaha, kiss?. Hahahaha." He couldn't hold it in to save his life.

"Shut it, three tail" Kagome said. Tengi quieted immediatly at her tone.

"It wasn't exactly a kiss."

FLASHBABCK

Kagome all dressed up in her pretty green and yellow kimono, sat on a log which served as a stool for her, in the middle of the gardens. Niokay and some other woman with blue hair and red eyes were talking on a bench and watching Kagome. But they were also watching something else. Kagome couldn't see though and didn't care.

Then, a violet flower came out of now where, poking itself in Kagome's face. She looked at the flower, then at the hand who was holding it, and then a young boy who owned the hand. He was on one knee and had two yellow and white diamonds on either side of his eyes. Each diamond was made of small dots in a bunches of four. This proved that he was indeed the son of a General. The boy aslo had blue hair like his mother, the woman with Niokay, only with a different shade. His eyes were like a yellow brown and his race was undetectable.

Kagome looked back at the grown ups who were "aww"ing and "oo"ing at the cute sight. Niokay made a gesture for her to take the flower and Kagome gave her a "Do I haveta" look. But she did anyway.

Kagome took the flower from the boy and smelled it. It was her scent. But when she looked back up at the boy, Kagome saw him leaning over with lips puckered out to her. She gasped and leaded over some more the other way,but he kept coming towards her. She was nearly off the log when they both freezed. A huge, tall figure came at the back of them and just stood. They couldn't see his face though, the sun was at the top of his head and put a glare there. They both had froze. Kagome looked at the boy, who was in the same position only his eyes were looking up at the figure. The she looked at the figure. Back and forth again, until she punch the boy dead in his face. Then the mysterious figure turned back around and walked to the women. Kagome ignored the boy's wailing about his nose and turned to see who it was. As he turned around you could see that he was very handsome, with long dark blue hair, and the same diamond marks on either side of his face.

"Now why did you do that?" The woman with blue hair asked. She had the same marks too. They must be a family.

"I like scaring the boy. Besides, he need to learn that anyone can seek up on him at any moment. Even in the intamite moments" The yokai General said with a triumph smile. "That is if he is going to be Head General like his father one day."

"You are such a devil Utrani(you-trani)", The woman with blue hair told her husband.

"Well, Faera, your not alone. My husband's the same way" Niokay told Faera.

"To the little one?" Faera aked looking over at Kagome who was talking with her son.

"Well, he doesn't sneek up on her like that! But Docani does teach her many." Niokay said

"Yes, I can see. She has a very nice right hook." Utrani said eyeing kagome suspciously

"Aww, look. She's laughing." Niokay pointed out. "She laughs like a hime, don't you think?" Faera asked. "See, she has her finger on her mouth. I think I've seen her before."

"What do you mean darling?" Utrani asked.

"Remember a few years back, we visited the Eastern palace for an alignment?"Faera explained. "Well, I saw her there. She was clening."

"Cleaning?" Niokay asked

"Hai, She was cleaning the shelves in their library. She must have been a servant."
"Well how are you for sure that she was a servant?" Niokay asked concerned for her daughter.

"She was wearing pants.Only servants wear pants, Niokay."

Niokay hung her head in thought and then looked back up at her daughter. She wanted to cry but didn't. Her daughter, her Kagome, was a servant girl. It would want to make any mother cry at the thought or sight of their child doing hard labor. Well, any mother who cared, and Niokay did. No wonder she never spoke. Who knows what happened to Kagome over there?

"Don't feel bad Niokay, please." Faera pleaded to the sad kitsune seein how upset she looked. "She's with you now and though she does'nt show it, I do believe your daughter is happy here."

Niokay smiled at her friend.

The boy finally got up. "Sorry. My otou can be a real joker sometimes, but he's real serious when it comes to his soldiers"

Kagome looked back to the boy. "My name's Tontanu. I hear your name is Kagome right?" Kagome nodded carefully. He had a cute raspy little voice. He sat next to Kagome.

"Great. Anyways, the reason I tryed to kiss you was because, my otou said that he gave a flower to the girl he liked and she kissed him." Kagome stared and listened. "Now he's married to her." Tontanu continued

Kagome's eyes widened. Tontanu laughed. "Hehe. Don't worry, I'm not thinkin' of dat for a long time." She settled down.

"That's my otou sittin' over there wit my oka-san. He's the Head General. He says that on day I'm gonna take his place as Head General and be real strong too" Tontanu got up and started demonstrating his moves. "I'll show those enemies. I'll give em a "Ha"" He kicked into the air. "And a "HiYah"" He punched the invisible intruder. "And then I'll give all of em a "Ho, Ha, Kiyah...Wooooow" He tryed to spin and kick at the same time, slipped and fell right infront of Kagome. She stiffled a laugh by putting her finger to her mouth. He just laughed along with her.

Later on during the evening...

"It is getting late. I must go now Kagome. I hope we meet again." He bent down and kissed her hand. Kagome bowed, her way of saying "Tomadachi".

END FLASHBACK

"That's what happened" Kagome concluded.

"Do you miss him Kagome?" Niokay asked with a smirk.

"Well he is the only person other than Casemi who I would dare call friend" Kagome answered.

But then she added..."Do you smell mist?"

Noikay smirked and Tengi stared at both of them, eyebrow raised. "Yea, I do smell mist. Why?" He answered for her.

"Oh, oka no. Tell me you didn't" Kagome begged.

"Well, alright. I didn't" Niokay said smartly.

"Didn't what?" Tengi wanted to know.

Then...KNOCK KNOCK.

"Come in" Niokay greeted.

Just that instant, a yokai with blue hair down to his shoulders slid the door open and steeped in and greeted everyone. He had yellow brown eyes and diamond, dot, marks on either side of his eyes. He was all sorts of hansome and was dressed in a Head General's uniform attire.

"Konichiwa, you wanted to see me Lady Niokay?" He asked nicley staring mostly at Kagome.

"Hai, this is Tengi" She said gesturing to him. "He is a most gifted neko yokai."
"Ah, hai. I can see. Three tails, huh? Well that's some power you must have there my boy." He put a hand out to Tengi and they shook.

"Arigatou, General". Tengi replied smiling.

"And do you remember who this is?" Niokay asked gesturing to Kagome

"Hmm...I have a quess" He said circling Kagome, smirking like the joker he is, "But i would like proof first."

Kagome's eyes widened in awe and then narrowed back down when she realized he was toying with her. You could even see a small, and playful smirk upon her features which shocked the hell out of Tengi.

"Perhaps a kiss would do." He said getting real close to her face.

"Or perhaps you would like another fist in your mouth, Tontanu?"

Then Tengi's jaw dropped fully. "That's the guy who tryed to kiss you? Ooo, I see sparks flying already." He said giving a double eye lift to Niokay. She laughed at this. But you think Kagome or even Tontanu would be embarassed by this.

"Tengi, I can say two things that will make you seem like an absolute baka right now." Kagome said, her smile faded away at Tengi's foolishness.

"One, I didn't kiss him. I punched dead in the face. Two, HE'S MARRIED." She yelled at Tengi.

"Oh."was all he couldsay

Niokay laughed "Hai an odd pair the two were. A human and a water yokai".

"Ano...Could I talk to you a moment in private Kagome?" Tontanu asked.

"Of course. Sumimasen." Kagome said and they stepped outside of the door.

"How about we go some place more private like the gardens." Tontanu suggestion

"Hai" Kagome agreed.

Once in the gardens..."Ah, this brings back memories doesn't it?" Tontanu asked.

"Tontanu, why are you here" she asked straight to the point.

"Sesshomaru has called upon us. I believe that there is a new evil learking about the lands and all over the warring states." he answered

"Us?"

"Well, hai."

"And by Us That means..."

"Just take care of Casemi." He interupted.

"Hai, of course" She replied worried a little.

"And I will, of course, look after things also. Now once again I must part with you in the gardens." He kissed her hand and turned to leave.

"Koban-wa General." She said

"Koban-wa" He replied over his shoulder.
