Kagome soon was staring at a fancy castle, gawwing at its beauty. Her mouth was open as the sparkles of the windows glimmered in her golden eyes.
The castle stood tall upon a mountain, as it viewed across a shimmering ocean, the sun beatening across the waxed wooden walls of its sucture.
She walked up on the rocky steps, coming close to the oak door. She viewed the ocean, watching as birds skim the water. She heard Myoga cough.
She shook her head and knocked on the door. She heard nothing for awhile, but soon heard a swift movement inside. She quickly jumped back, as the door opened.
A young woman stood at the enterance. Her deep, blue eyes glimmered at her visitors. She wore a long, three layer kimono, all red. She had an imprint of golden dragons around the ends of her outer kimono and on the sleeves. Her long, black hair was pulled back into a tight bun, revealing her pointy ears. She had dark purple marks on her cheeks. She smiled.
"How may I help you, young one?" she asked. Kagome smiled back and bowed.
"I am in need of a strong outfit, one that won't tear so easily," said Kagome, "Do you have any?"
"Do I have any? Of course I do! Come, come, let me get your size and is that you Myoga?" she asked
"Ah, Lady Tanaga, it is so good to see you. Young as ever," Myoga said, bowing. Tanaga bowed back.
"Yes indeed," said Tanaga. She moved aside to allow Kagome to entered. Kagome did, gawwing more from the site of the inside.
Tanaga chuckled, closing the door.
"Don't stare into space, young one, come, follow me," she said, walking to her side. Kagome nodded and followed her.
Tanaga looked Kagome from head to toe, nodding. She clapped her hands together.
"I do think dark green and purple are your colors" said Tanaga. She closed her eyes and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, a kimono popped at her side. Kagome blinked and soon had a kimono in her hands.
"Go, change behind that curtain. Myoga stay here," said Tanaga, pushings Kagome towards the curtain as Myoga got off of her shoulders and onto Tanaga.
Kagome soon came out with a new outfit on. the outer kimono was dark green, ending a little down from her hips. A dark purple under kimono was underneath, going down to her knees, showing the side of her legs. She twirled around, feeling the slik of the fabric hit her soft skin.
"I love it," she said, smiling at Tanaga. She bowed again.
"It looks lovely on you child. Now, go on and impress a inu han'yo for me," said Tanaga. Kagome blushed.
"H-How did you know?" Kagome asked
"I can smell him on you. Now go," said Tanaga, waving her hands. Kagome bowed again and ran off, leaving Myoga alone.
Inuyasha huffed as he stopped his walk. He was close to Totosai and the sun was setting. He was tired, thinking of Kagome all the way over. He wanted to know if she was alright or not. He had it.
He jumped at Totosai, standing at his side. He cracked his knuckles, angerly staring down at Totosai. Totosai jumped when he heard a low growl from his side. He weakly looked up at Inuyasha.
"Ah, Inuyasha...you are here," said Totosai
Inuyasha grabbed hold of Totosai's front kimono, dragging the old man up.
"Where is Kagome?" he asked angerly.
"She should be back. She went to see Tanaga, the outfit designer," said Totosai, weakly smiling at the han'yo. Inuyasha dropped him back down on the ground, ready to leave, "Wait! Give this to Kagome!"
Totosai handed Inuyasha the bow and arrows he was busy making. The bow was pure white, shimmering in the sunlight, as a silver string was tied to it. The arrows too were white, with slim, feathers at the end of each. The tips of the pointed blades, where new metal, with a bit of silver at the edges of them.
Inuyasha feh, holding tight them and running off. He could smell Kagome easily, like it was a new trail.
Kagome hummed as she jumped through the forest, heading towards Totosai. She loved the new silk of her kimono softly gliding over her legs. She smiled as the sun set turned the sky pink and dark blue, as the was soon to come. She took one leap onto a branch and jumped back on the ground. She was breathing fast, feeling tired now.
For a human who turned into a han'yo without training, was doing pretty well at running. She flopped on the ground and laid on her back, enjoying the cool breeze of night to come. A scent hit her nose, making her quickly jumped up, looking around. Her ears twitched to the sounds of footsteps and swift movements. She turned around, hearing the sound of breathing.
Inuyasha came out from behind a tree, looking at her. The whiteness of the arrows and bow almost blinded her, but she stood strong. She blinked at the sight of Inuyasha, wondering.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" she asked
"What do you think? I went back to the village to talk to you, but Sango told me you went all the way out to Totosai, and you had no one to be with you!" He walked closer to her. She took a step back, anger striking her.
"I am a han'yo now and I can take
care of myself! Plus, how was I supposed to know you were coming
back! AND! I can do what ever I want!"
"A han'yo does
matter! You could still have been killed by a human or a demon! You
are new at this and you didn't have a weapon with you!"
"I did too!"
"Not when you left Totosai's! What happens if you were killed!"
"Inuyasha! I told I can take care of myself without your help! Why don't you just go and leave me like you did when I became a han'yo!"
"Kagome, I had my reason,"
"Reason! What reason!"
"That is personally,"
"Fine, then I have a reason to do this," Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows quickly and turned to run off. Inuyasha grabbed her wrist, stopping her. Her hand balled into a fist.
"Where are you going!"
"Away from you! You make me sick! Now let go!"
"No! You are coming back to the village with me,"
Kagome twisted her way out of his grip. She stared angerly at him, almost ready to slap him.
"Go back to village by yourself! I don't want you around me!"
"Kagome, don't act like
this!"
"Act like what! A jerk! I am acting like you do
all the time!"
"I do not act like on all the time!"
"You do too!"
"I do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Inuyasha,"
"Kagome,"
"SIT! SIT!
SIIIIIT!"
Inuyasha fell three times down at the ground three times, twice the pain. Inuyasha groaned as the dirt went into his mouth.
Kagome angerly jumped into the forest and ran off. Tears feel from her face as she ran, ran away from him.
Inuyasha stood up after the spells had wore off, feeling the pain on his lower back. He grumble as he too ran off, but only after her.
The night took the sky, letting on the moon shine. Tomorrow night was the new moon, as Inuyasha hoped he would find her by then.
WHEE!
