Disclaimers: I do not own the characters of Inuyasha, EXCEPT, Akida, and any other OC you might see throughout the story, which is gunna be A LOT
I love you all, you guys sent me such wonderful reviews, I haven't received one flame yet, WOW. Remember, you guys could send me requests, and suggestion. As long as they are constructive criticism, I won't get mad at you. So, on that note, lets begin the 5th chapter of Lost Sisters, Past Revealed
Last Time:
Rin turned around and ran to Sesshomaru, "Can Kagome-san, and Sango-san come to the ball please." Rin said with the most adorable puppy eyes she could bring up
Sesshomaru was going to say no, but he could never resist those adorable eyes. He looked towards Akida for help, but he was just staring and the human named Sango, he knew right there that he would receive no help from him. "Okay Rin, they could come to the ball, but you must behave"
"YAY! Pretty ladies can play with Rin now." She said running towards them. She grabbed both of their hands and started to lead Kagome and Sango towards the castle that wasn't to far away
"Sesshomaru, what have you done?" Akida said when they started to follow the girls back to the castle
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that our lives are not going to be the same after today" Sesshomaru replied as the castle came in to sight ahead of them
Chapter 5: A Cinderella Story
"Wow" was all Kagome and Sango could say as they walked up towards the castle. It was an extremely beautiful and elegant design. When they reached the majestic doors, they were about to open it until Akida stopped them
"You shouldn't even try" Akida said, "Only a full-fledged demon could possess the strength to open those doors"
He was about to do it until Sango beat him to it. With one gentle nudge from Sango, the doors flew open revealing more beautiful scenery. The inside looked just as modern as the outside. The walls were painted off-white, with portraits decorating it. The portraits carried a family that all had silver-white hair, the men had amber eyes, and the only female had royal-blue eyes. The hallway was a high ceiling that had gold chandlers hanging from it
The girls just walked past the shocked demons and started to look around at the spacious home of the western lands lord
"Kagome-san, Sango-san, come with Rin. I'll show you to your rooms. It's by Sesshomaru-sama, and Akida-sama's room" Rin said happily skipping towards her destination, without getting permission from the youkai lords, with Kagome and Sango at her heels
With Sesshomaru and Akida
"Those girls are NOT humans" Akida said next to Sesshomaru as they walked towards the library
"How can you be so sure" Sesshomaru said in a monotone
"Well first off, they are too powerful, quick, and too good at fighting," then he whispered to himself, "and too beautiful." He turned to look at Sesshomaru when he heard a low, nearly inaudible, possessive growl come from him. He grinned at him before saying, "Don't worry Sesshomaru, I'm not interested in the blue-eyed beauty, more of the ebony-haired goddess"
"I'm glad to see that you can openly admit to your interest in the human female" Sesshomaru said, "But I do not care if you have an attraction to the other human female as well"
"Keep telling yourself that Sesshy, maybe it will come true" Akida said laughing as Sesshomaru began to growl at the assumption he was making about him and that human female, then his growl became even more menacing when he realized he called him that dreaded nickname
"Don't you ever call me by any name other then Sesshomaru, Foxy" Sesshomaru said with a smirk
"Okay, THAT drew the line" Akida said as he began to take threatening steps towards Sesshomaru
"Akida, stop trying to make a fool of yourself in my own home" Sesshomaru said as he walked inside the library completely ignoring Akida's threat
Akida just looked at his retreating form and said, "Sometimes I wonder how we ever became friends" Then shook his head and walked into the library as well
With Kagome and Sango
"Once again, WOW" Kagome said as she walked into her room with Sango and Rin behind her. The whole theme of the room was different shades of blue. The walls were painted a dark blue. The floor had a carpet, which greatly surprised Kagome, and it was colored a royal blue. The bed spread, which was once again modernized, was a beautiful a brilliant silver, and the furniture was all black. The whole room looked bigger than her house. There were also double doors made of glass that lead to what Kagome believed to be the balcony. The most attracting feature of the room was that on one of the walls, there was a beautiful painting of a silver inu youkai in its true form. It looked to be howling to an unseen moon. It was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen in her life.
'Except for Sesshomaru' Kagome thought. Then she began to blush a bright red at the involuntary thought, 'I should never, EVER think that again' Kagome thought but still, she remained a bright red color
"Kagome-san, are you okay, should I call Sesshomaru-sama to help you," Rin, usually happy, voice said laced with worry
"No! I mean, of course not. That isn't necessary," she said hurriedly, "Let's keep looking around" Kagome said trying to change the subject
She walked towards the closet and gasped once again. "My goodness, this is just too much" she said as she walked into the closet. The closet was bigger than her room in the future. It was filled with beautiful kimonos, shoes, everything. All of the kimonos were every shade of blue, silver, and black. She heard another gasp and looked behind her to see Sango looking at all of the kimonos
"Kagome, these kimonos are beautiful" Sango said, then walked beside her to gaze at the other beautiful clothing
"I know" Kagome said softly, "I don't think I can wear these"
"Yes you can" Rin chirped, "If this is the room assigned to you, you are allowed to wear what the room provides for you. Just like how Lord Sesshomaru says it"
"Wow, a girl could get used to a place like this." Kagome said as she began to go farther into the closet. When she reached the end of the closet she found a door that was made of marble, "I wonder where this door leads to"
Before she had a chance to open the door, Sango's voice interrupted her. "KAGS lets see how my room is"
"COMEING" she yelled, "Guess I'll check it out later" she whispered before walking back to Sango and Rin
With Akira and Kirara
"Mommy?" the young kit asked
"Sorry kid, but no" The raven haired beauty said, that's when Shippou noticed the ice blue tips that reminded him of the ice neko he had met
"Akira?" he then asked
"Bingo" she said, "Now, like I had said previously, you will refrain from touching the kit," as she was saying this, her grip on Inuyasha's hand began to tighten until Inuyasha's pain was evident
"Who, uh, are you?" he said as he began to fall on his knees from Akira's death grip, "And why, uh, are you, uh, hiding your face?"
It was true what he had said, Akira was not wearing the outfit she was previously in; instead she had a cloak to cover her body from them, and also she was wearing a mask that a typical demon slayer would wear to hide her face
"Who I am is of no importance to you, and why I am covered is still none of your business you filthy half breed" Akira said as she picked him up and threw him into a nearby tree
Miroku stood up as he saw Inuyasha being thrown into the tree and concluded that this female demon was dangerous. "I normally wouldn't go to such measures to hurt a beautiful female such as yourself, but I have no choice, WINDTUN-"
He wasn't able to finish because before he had a chance a ring of fire blazed around him. "Wha-What's going on?"
"Look behind you stupid monk" a voice said behind him
When he turned around he saw a female who was dressed in the same clothing as the other demon except she had blonde hair with black streaks at least from what he could see, because unlike the other female, she had the hood of her cloak over her head. All that was visible was her lips, jaw and long neck
"Don't make me hurt you" Miroku said holding his hand preparing to use it at any moment
"Don't make me laugh, you wouldn't dare hurt anything that was of the female gene," then she took a moment to pause then said, "On second thought you probably wouldn't hurt any female physically at least"
"What are you trying to say" Miroku said placing his hand back down as the fire died around them
"You know what I mean you 'hentai houshi'. Now doesn't that ring a bell" she said as she jumped away from the camp leaving Akira with Inuyasha to get Kagome's yellow bag
Miroku just sank down to the floor and stared at her retreating form. After a good moment or so he whispered, "She knows Sango"
With Sango and Kagome
"Okay, wow has been used to much today so AMAZING" Kagome said as she walked into Sango's room with Sango in front of her
"I agree" Sango said
The room was placed across from Kagome's. The room was almost exactly like Kagome's except the entire theme for the room was various shades of red, gold and black. The walls were painted a blood red. The floor's carpet was burgundy red. The bed spread, which was once again modernized, was a beautiful a gorgeous golden color, and the furniture was all black, once again. The room was the same size as Kagome's making it as big as an entire house. There were also double doors made of a bronzed glassed that lead to the balcony. The most attracting feature of this room was that on one of the walls, there was a beautiful painting of a gold inu youkai in its true form. Its head was turned slightly to the side as if staring at something far away while it was sitting down
"This place is so beautiful," Sango said
"Let's check out the closet" Kagome said
All three of them walked towards the closet and opened it. "Okay no need to comment because we all know that it's described as either wow, amazing, or gorgeous" Kagome said as the all walked in side by side
It was filled with beautiful kimonos, shoes, everything. All of the kimonos were every shade of red, black, and gold. Sango continued walking to the back of the closet and saw a door similar to the one in Kagome's closet. She on the other hand had time to open it, so she did
As she did Kagome and Rin were both standing behind her waiting in anticipation to see where the door led to. As she opened it they walked into what was a miniature hall that led them to two more doors
Sango decided to open the one on the right and stared in awe at the beauty before them. It was the bathroom and it looked to be slightly smaller than the room, but it was still huge. It was mostly a huge hot springs placed with a miniature waterfall at the end
"Hey Sango, I think that this is the feudal era version of a shower" Kagome said pointing at the waterfall
"You mean that thing that they invented in the future that allows you to bathe standing up" Sango said remembering the time Kagome complained about the feudal era needing to invent a shower already
"Yep," Kagome said
Sango went towards the waterfall and stuck her hand into it to determine the temperature of the water. As soon as she put her hand into it, the hot springs began to steam.
"Either your fire side is starting to show up or this castle is more modernized then I thought" Kagome said
Sango just shrugged her shoulders, at least from what Kagome could see because the steam began to become thicker. "Kags are you going to take a quick bath"
"No, I'll rather take a quick shower" Kagome said, "I saw a door just like yours at my closet, maybe I have a bathroom too. I'm going to check it out"
"Alright I'm taking a bath" Sango said as she began to walk back towards the closet to get an outfit to change into. She saw Kagome walk out as well to get an outfit from her room
Rin had ran out the room awhile ago saying something about going to pick flowers, which Sango thought was cute, until she added torturing Jaken which caused Sango to kinda feel sorry for the toad she had seen numerous times during battles with Sesshomaru
Sango decided to go with a kimono that looked like it would snuggle her a bit but not too much to making it a bit more modest, even though it went mid thigh. The sleeves were almost like the sleeves of a miko garb. It was red with golden flames surrounding the skirt of the outfit. The obi was gold and the bow of it looked huge. She went back into her bathroom after she chose some shoes to match the kimono.
Before she had a chance to get to the bathroom she heard someone come into the closet and was high alert because she didn't sense it was Kagome. Pretty soon a small, young woman came up to her with her head low.
When she spoke her voice was quiet, and soft. "Excuse me Lady Sango, but the lords has requested me to take your measurements for your dress at the ball"
"Oh, call me Sango, and okay" Sango said, "What is you name by the way"
"It's Damaru" she said lifting her head to face her. She had snow white hair that rested at the small of her back. Her eyes were an enchanting mixture of silver and dark gray. She had slightly tanned skinned that. She was around 5'4 with a slender athlete body. Her claws were long and sharp and held a deadly beauty
"Your name means silent right," Sango asked
"Yes" she said quietly
'That suits her well' Sango thought
"That's what everyone thinks" Damaru said out of no where. Sango just stared at her and she continued, "I'm a physic snow panther youkai" she said and suddenly a snow white panther tail came from behind her
"Wow" Sango said, "That's a rare breed"
"Yes, we are" she said softly, "Would you like for me to start the measurements?" she asked
"Oh, okay" Sango said, after about two minutes she was finished, "Thanks"
"No problem" she said softly. She was about to leave before she turned around and said, "I love your choice of clothing, I'm sure Lord Akida will love it" she said and she smirked as she saw Sango blushing bright red
"Wha-What do you mean?" Sango said stuttering a bit on the words
"I mean a certain fox demon you've been thinking about since I got here" Damaru said and walked away with her tail swishing back and fourth
Sango just stared at her retreating form before heading back into the bathroom. She began undressing and went into the warm waters. "I hope my attraction to Akida isn't to obvious," she said quietly. Pretty soon she began to fall into a peaceful light slumber at the edge of the springs
With Kagome
Kagome was at the door she had previously seen and began to open it. It revealed a hallway that looked just like the one Sango discovered
She went through the same door Sango had chosen and saw the bathroom. It looked just like Sango's but for some reason, bigger. Kagome went back into the closet to chose an outfit and was greeted by a girl
"Excuse me Lady Kagome" she said bowing her head
"Oh please, just call me Kagome. Lady is to big of a title for me" Kagome said laughing
"Whatever you wish La- I mean Kagome, my name is Abunai" she said lifting her head to look at Kagome directly in the eye. She was just as tall as Kagome. She had long wavy raven black hair that had a blue tint to it. Her eyes were midnight blue that held secrets but a certain playfulness to it. She had a long slender body, with two black wings on her back. Her claws were so long and sharp it looked like talons
"Doesn't your name dangerous?" Kagome asked
"Yep" She said with her eyes twinkling, "I was named because when I was just born I had attacked the healer who had delivered for trying to spank me." They both started giggling before Abunai continued, "I was sent here on the request of Lord Sesshomaru to take your measurements for the dress you are to wear at the ball. All of the lords and ladies will attend and you must be ready"
"Okay" Kagome said. After about two minutes Abunai had finished. "Thanks Abunai. I have to ask, are you a raven youkai"
"Yep, a lunar Raven, my power comes from the moon" she said with pride in her voice. "I love it when it's a full moon, that's when I'm most happy"
"Cool" Kagome said
"Is it cold in here Kagome, I could get a fire youkai to warm it up for you if you want me to." Abunai said worriedly
"Oh no, its okay, that's just an expression we use in my village" Kagome said
"Well, I'll leave you to your bath, see you around Kage" she said happily then walked out the closet room smiling while waving back to her
"See you around Nai" Kagome said as well waving back to her. When Abunai's form disappeared Kagome went back to looking for an outfit. Unconsciously, she chose an outfit that looked similar to the one Sango had picked out. It was exactly the same except it was black with an ice blue version of the yin and yang sign placed on the chest. The obi was ice blue as well. She chose a matching pair of shoes to go with it then headed towards the hot springs.
After taking a shower, she quickly began to get dressed. The outfit fitted her like a glove. She let her hair cascade down her back which she noticed had gotten longer. She still placed a dagger just above the hem of the skirt for safety purposes. She walked out of the bathroom into the closet, than into the room where she exited into the hallway.
"That was a far walk," she said to herself, suddenly a servant quickly past her. "What the," before she finished another servant ran by her. That's when she realized how busy the area was. There were servants walking busily everywhere. 'They must be getting ready for the ball. I guess they would be busy for such an important event'
"Excuse me" she said trying to stop one of the servants. Finally one stopped and she asked her if she knew where the library was.
She looked at Kagome with disgust after she realized that she was human. "Ningens aren't allowed in there" the butterfly youkai said. She had had short golden hair that framed her face. Two huge butterfly wings that were multicolored followed her. Her eyes were a mixture of lavender and soft pink.
"Jasmine, you can not be rude to one of Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Akida's guests" said a voice from behind Kagome said
She turned around and found another butterfly youkai walking towards them. She had long lavender hair that she held in a high ponytail. She was tanned just like the other butterfly youkai which was a honey caramel color. They both shared the lavender, pink eyes. They were both tall, taller then Kagome by about three inches
"Stay out of this Lilly" the servant Jasmine said
The other butterfly youkai called Lilly just ignored her and walked up to Kagome and said, "The library is down that hall, when you reach the end you turn left then keep moving forward. Just turn the last corner and the door to the library will be right in front of you. And please forgive my hard headed sister; she's much nicer when you get to know her."
"It's alright, and thanks for the directions, I appreciate it." Kagome said walking towards the hallway Lilly had pointed to, "Bye you two" she said before she turned the corner
With Sesshomaru and Akida
"I'm BORED" Akida said while laying down on one of Sesshomaru's many, comfortable chairs in his gigantic library
Sesshomaru just briefly put down the papers he was reading over to stare at him, Sesshomaru just shook his head as if saying what a shame then went right back to the paper he was reading over without saying a word to Akida
"Hey! I was talking here" Akida said angrily, he hated being ignored
Sesshomaru just placed his papers at the side of his desk than said, "Why don't you just go around the castle and mess with the servants or something"
"But I don't wanna" Akida said crossing his hands over his chest and pouting. After about two minutes Akida said, "I'm BORED"
"GET OUT, you keep pestering me" Sesshomaru said angrily
"Okay, goodness, didn't have to yell" Akida said as he got up from his comfortable position on the chair and walked out of the library, "I guess I'll just go to my room and take a good dip in the hot springs" he said to himself as he turned the corner. Something bumped into him and fell to the floor. He looked down and saw the blue-eyed beauty that seemed to have captured the interest of his dear friend
"Sorry" she said quickly before getting up and dusting herself off. While she was on the floor he caught a glimpse of a blade on her thigh for her skirt had rode up a bit. Not that he was being a hentai. He just caught a flash of silver and wanted to see what it was. 'Why is she carrying around weapons? And where did that sword she had earlier? And where did that flower come from, I've never seen anything like it?'
While asking all those questions he hadn't realized he was just staring off in space. Kagome was trying to get his attention, but nothing worked. She saw one of his four tails slightly move so she decided to try out her plan. She grabbed one of the appendages and watched as he slightly jumped before he turned to her. She could tell he was pissed and started to edge away from him
"Why…did…you…touch…my…tail," He asked trying so desperately to control himself, he hated it when anyone ever touched his tail
"Sorry Lord Akida, but I was trying to get your attention" she said while bowing her head, "You somewhat dazed off"
"It's alright, just don't ever do it again" he said, then asked, "Where are you heading?"
"Oh, I just wanted to go to the library since it was so noisy out in the halls" Kagome said sighing in relief that he had been able to control himself
"Alright, it's just down that hall" he said, then added, "I like your kimono, it looks nice on you. I think Sesshomaru would love it" he said then quickly went the other way for he had sensed her anger. He didn't care that she was human, but he still went by saying 'Hell has no wrath like a woman's fury'
"I can't believe he said that" Kagome said before turning back towards the library
With Kirara and Akira
"Now half breed, have anymore questions?" Akira said as she picked up the little kitunse. Inuyasha was currently on the floor from Akira throwing him across the clearing.
"Put the little brat down" Inuyasha said getting up
"Hard headed as ever Inuyasha" Akira said before her eyes started to glow unnaturally. Suddenly ice spiked from underneath the ground and began to surround Inuyasha. Pretty soon, Inuyasha was trapped within an ice prison
Inuyasha began to pound his fists against the ice but it wouldn't crack. "Where are you taking Shippou" Inuyasha yelled
"That's for me to know, and you to find out" Akira said before jumping into the forest with Shippou in hands
After hearing her last statement Inuyasha thought, 'I know that phrase, Kagome used to always say that. And so did people from Kagome's time. She knows Kagome somehow, and probably knows where she and Sango is. I'll find that demoness, and then I'll find Kagome and Sango'
"I'LL FIND YOU" Inuyasha yelled after the demoness retreating form
oOo
A couple of miles away from the campsite, Kirara appeared in front of Akira and Shippou and dropped the yellow bag on the floor
"What's in this thing?" She asked in amazement, "It's so heavy"
"I don't know Kirara, but Kagome keeps putting more things in there every time she goes to the future to re-stock on supplies" Akira said
"Kirara," Shippou said in disbelief
"Yes little one, it's me" Kirara said removing the hood of her cloak revealing the beauty underneath.
"Wow" Shippou said gawking at the once small fire kitten, then he turned towards Akira and said, "Is that really you Akira?"
Akira removed the mask covering half of her face showing her beauty to the young fox, "Yep, it's me kiddo"
Both Akira and Kirara removed the cloaks that revealed their body and began to walk west
Shippou jumped on top of Akira's head and asked, "Is mommy and aunty okay?"
"Of course Shippou, didn't I tell you that I'll protect your mother and aunty with my life?" Akira said
"Yep, I never forgot" Shippou said proudly
"How did you two meet, I thought Shippou never knew about you" Kirara asked confused
"Well one day when mommy had left to go to her time I had waited by the well so I could be the first person she would see…
flashback
Shippou was sitting by the well waiting anxiously for his surrogate mother's return, "She said she would be back before the sunsets in five days" Shippou repeated to himself
Shippou began to get bored so he decided to play with one of his toy tops. He felt strong magic from the well and accidentally threw his top into the surrounding forest
"MOMMY" he yelled as he saw a black spot begin to rise from the top of the well.
After Kagome had completely gotten out of the well, she was nearly knocked back into it by the force of the little kit's hug, "Hey Shippou, did you behave properly for Sango and Kirara" Kagome asked
"Yes mommy" Shippou said respectfully
"Good, lets get back to camp before Inuyasha tries to get me" Kagome said soft fully towards her surrogate son
"You could go ahead mommy, I kinda threw my top into the forest. Can I go get it please?" Shippou asked
Kagome was skeptical to leaving Shippou alone out here but she knew she was just being too worried. 'He has been waiting there by the well for like hours. I'm sure he'll be fine' Kagome reassured herself
"Okay, just be careful" Kagome said to Shippou before turning to leave
Shippou went towards the direction where the top had flown. It only took him five minutes to find it and went back towards the village. When he was about to pass the well, he felt the powerful magic of the well was activated again
"Hey, mommy already came back, who could this be" Shippou said to himself
After the blue light faded, a black fur ball came jumping out of the well. It looked exactly like Kirara but it was a bit icier.
"Who are you?" Shippou asked the neko youkai
end flashback
"Oh, so that's how you two met" Kirara said. Both Akira and Shippou nodded. "Okay, that explains some things"
"So where is momma and aunty" Shippou asked
Kirara and Akira just gave each other knowing looks. "Last time we saw them, we left them at the hot springs, but I have a good idea where they'll be," Akira said grinning
With Kagome
Kagome felt like a kid in the candy store when she walked into the library. There was nothing she loved more then books, and this library had a whole lot of them. The library looked bigger then her school and held every book known possibly to man, at least that's what she thought was in it.
For some reason, Kagome felt compelled to go into the northern side of the library. She walked up to a door that painted a midnight blue. In the center of this snowflake was a lighter shade of blue. It read on the door, 'Only the five grand lords or ladies of the Northern, Western, Eastern, Southern, and Central lands may enter this room. Any other demon or man, who dare enter this room without this ranking, shall be killed on contact with this door.'
Kagome's mind was telling her to walk away, but her body thought otherwise. She continued to walk towards the door and touched it. Nothing happened, til suddenly, she began to fall into the door.
At that moment Abunai, and Lily walked by trying to find Kagome to get her ready for the ball.
"KAGOME" they both yelled as she phased through the door. When they reached the door the words that it once read to ward away anyone who wasn't one of the five grand lords or ladies began to shift until it read, 'The true Lady of the Northern Lands has returned,'
Both Abunai and Lily just stared at each other before smiling to each other in hope. "We finally get to go home!" They both yelled
"Why are you two here?" a cold voice said menacingly. Abunai and Lily both turned to see the lord of the western lands
With Sango
Sango's eyes shot open as she felt something tingle down her spine. "Kagome" she said automatically. It took her a while to realize that she was still in the bathroom. "I must have fallen asleep, where is Kagome?"
She heard a splash and swam towards it, "Kagome," she whispered as she saw a slightly blurry figure in front of her. It was still extremely foggy and Sango couldn't see a thing, even with her slight demonic vision. When the figure turned towards her, she began to swim faster
When she reached the figure, she still wasn't able to see. "Kags" she said as she grabbed 'her' shoulders. Sango suddenly froze in place when she realized that this person wasn't Kagome. It was at least a foot taller than her and its skin felt like silk over steel
It wasn't until she saw four long fox tails poke out from under the water did she realize who this person was. "AKIDA" she yelled before she covered herself with one hand and smacked him with the other yelling, "HENTAI"
She quickly swam towards the other end of the hot spring and jumped out with her cat-like grace. She quickly grabbed her towel and whirled it around her body. She was about to run out the room until she felt someone grab her arm and twirled her into his body
"LET GO AKIDA" she said trying to pull away from him
"No" he said as he pressed her body even closer into his wet body that was slightly covered below the waist with a small towel. Sango abruptly stopped and looked into his eyes. "What were you doing in my bathing area," he said seriously
"What are you talking about, the door to this room was placed at my closet" she said with a hint of annoyance
"The only other room that leads to this bathroom belongs to the conjoined room next to mines." He said slightly pissed off as well, thinking that she was lying
"Well it is most likely that Rin put me in the room that is conjoined to your room" she said angrily, and then with more anger in her voice, "Now you will remove yourself from being so indecently close to my body"
Akida was about to snap at her for talking such a way towards him until he notice something different about her aura. When he looked straight into her eyes, he began to notice the slightest traces of red in them. He quickly backed away from her as she turned and walked out the bathroom as if nothing had happened
"There is definitely something strange about those girls" Akida said to silently to himself as her form disappeared
With Kagome
"Where am I?" Kagome said. The room was a pale blue with many books. The center of the room had a podium that held an extremely large book. The podium though was highly elevated over the ground
Kagome began to walk towards podium and said, "How am I supposed to get up there?" Suddenly the ground began to shake and the air began to get unbearably cold, but to Kagome the temperature felt normal. The ground began to shake as steps made of pure ice came from under the ground. The steps led to the podium so Kagome decided to climb it, "That was very helpful"
When she reached the top, she looked into the book. It was an ancient looking book that had intricate designs. There was a snowflake that looked exactly like the one on the door from before engraved into it. The book read, 'History of the Northern Lands'
Kagome was about to open it, but as soon as she touched the cover of it, the ground began to shake once again. When Kagome looked up, words began to appear on the walls
'You must leave, they are searching, never forget this place. It's in all the lands'
Kagome read the words one more time before running down the steps, for the ground began to shake even more violently. Before she was able to reach the last steps, the stairs started to crack until it completely broke. Kagome began to fall and braced herself for the impact. But before she landed on the floor a blue like vortex crackling with energy opened just in time for Kagome to fall through it
With Sesshomaru
"Why are you two here?" a cold voice said menacingly. Abunai and Lily both turned to see the lord of the western lands
"We apologize for disturbing you, Lord Sesshomaru," Abunai said quickly bowing her head
"Yes, we were just here to remind you that you must get ready" Lily said also bowing her head
"I know that both of you are new here, but I do not take to well to dishonesty. Now I demand to know why you two are here and why do I smell Kagome's scent around here, 'Did I just call that wench by her name,' Sesshomaru instantly thought
"I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru, but we are telling the truth. We had both been with Kagome recently, so you must smell her on us" Abunai said dangerously calm, still keeping her head bowed
Sesshomaru stared at both of them for a moment. These two servants along with two others had just arrived at the castle recently. He never really had a good look at them since their heads were always bowed. He was also never able to catch their sent. When he had asked why this was, they all responded that they were being hunted down by some demons that had destroyed their village, so now they mask their scent to keep the people around them safe.
At first he didn't want to even consider bringing in those girls but the first day that they worked here, they had left quite an impression on the other servants with comments like 'they were the most responsible' and 'that they are so easy to work with.' Then Rin also took a liking to them, for they hadn't judged her for being a human, well at least three of them didn't
"No, I smell it near the Northern Lands door, that human was is here. So where is she now?" Sesshomaru said in his most cold voice that could freeze hell most likely
"Well…" Lily started to say trying to stall time for some reason
With Sango
"Kagome!" the taijiya yelled as she walked through the busy halls with scurrying servants. When she didn't see her anywhere, she saw a blonde butterfly youkai walking past her and stopped her
"Excuse me; have you seen a raven-haired human with sapphire eyes?" Sang asked politely
"Great, another one" she said rudely, "Yeah I've seen that human, and she went to the library"
"Can you tell me where it is?" Sango said a little less nicely then before
"Goodness, you humans are so helpless, follow me" She had said before turning to walk towards the direction of the library
'How rude' Sango thought pissed at the nerve of this youkai
When they reached the doors of the library, Jasmine said, "Well here we are" she said even more rudely
Sango was completely pissed off at the butterfly youkai and was about to tell her off until she felt immense energy coming her way. Jasmine was waiting to hear reply when she noticed that she was now ignoring her
"Hey-" before she finished, Sango's head shot up towards the ceiling as if waiting for something.
"Kagome" she said
As if on cue, a small blue vortex opened from the high ceiling right above them with a falling Kagome. Kagome opened her eyes; she noticed the danger in the fall. She closed her eyes tightly and reopened them to reveal that it had turned into an ice blue color with feline slits
Before she hit the ground, she did a flip in the air and landed on all fours. When she looked up, she stared straight into the butterfly youkai's eyes before she jumped up from her position and did a back flip right next to Sango
"Hey sis, you miss me" Kagome said grinning as her eyes returned to its deep sapphire color
"Sure I did, now what happened to you" Sango said, "and did you have to show off like that"
"Not my fault, it was instinct" Kagome said, and then she turned to see the forgotten butterfly youkai. "Oh hey Jasmine" she said nervously
"How did you do that?" Jasmine said still gaping at Kagome's performance. "A human would have died from a fall like that"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still breathing" Kagome said, "Sango, when Akira and Kirara comes, we have discuss some things" Sango nodded her head in understanding, but still anxious to find out why Kagome had fallen out of a vortex
"You know Akira, and Kirara?" Jasmine said from behind them
Kagome and Sango turned to face Jasmine slowly before hesitantly nodding their heads in correctness
"Then that means that they're alive" Jasmine sighed happily before giving them both a genuine smile. Then she continued, "You see, I used to work in the Southern Lands while my sister had worked in the Northern Lands. We also worked with Damaru, who worked in the Southern Lands with me and Abunai who worked in the Northern Lands with Lily."
"What were your positions there?" Sango asked
"Oh, Kirara and Akira were the top generals for the Northern and Southern Lands, Abunai and I were secondary generals for the lands, and Damaru and Lily were the social advisors." Jasmine said
"I would have thought Akira would be to forgetful to ever be able to run an army" Kagome said smiling
"I see you really do know are little ice neko" Jasmine said smiling, "Well then I guess you humans can't be to bad if Kirara and Akira knows you"
"Well that's the best we're going to get out of her," Kagome said speaking to Sango. Then she said speaking to both of them, "Hey lets go into the library, I think I heard Abunai and Lily called my name before I…" then Kagome paused before continuing, "Well, I just heard them" she said opening the heavy doors to the library with Sango and Jasmine following her
With Sesshomaru
"Well…" Lily said trying to stall time
"Well what?" Sesshomaru said with annoyance and anger apparent in his voice
"Kagome is-" Lily started to say until someone continued for her
"Right here Lord Sesshomaru" Kagome said walking beside Sango and Jasmine, whose head, was bowed lowly once again
Sesshomaru just stared at Kagome before noticing her attire. He looked from her full breast that he was certain would fit in the palm of his hand, down towards her flat stomach covered by the silk of the kimono, to her perfect curves that would be a perfect fit for his body.
'NO, this Sesshomaru shouldn't be-'
'Whoa' somebody said loudly in his mind
'Not you again' Sesshomaru thought
'Oh come on Sesshy, you cannot say she doesn't look gorgeous in that outfit' his conscience said to him
'Leave NOW' Sesshomaru said
'Not until you say that Kagome looks gorgeous in that dress and that you want her right here, and right now in this room' His conscience demanded
'And what make you think that this Sesshomaru will come into your demands' Sesshomaru shoot back to him
'Because you know it's true…and I'll give you a headache worthy to fit a god' his conscience said slyly
Before Sesshomaru could 'admit' to anything a soft voice kept calling his name, "Lord Sesshomaru,' Kagome said feeling a little uneasy at his piercing gaze
'Your off the hook this time fluffy' his conscience said before going back to confides of his mind
"Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome said once again
"We must get these girls ready for the ball Lord Sesshomaru" Lily said
Sesshomaru looked at the five girls coldly before saying, "Very well, you may leave this Sesshomaru now"
"Hai Milord" Lily, Jasmine, and Abunai said before grabbing Kagome and Sango's hands and dragging them out the library
oOoOo
Kagome and Sango were now and Kagome's room with Abunai, Damaru, Lily and Jasmine getting them ready for the ball
"So," Lily began, "Care to tell us how you know Kirara and Akira" she finished while working on Kagome's hair. She and Damaru had decided to do the girls hair, and Lily and Jasmine had volunteered to do their make-up. Their dresses had been delivered by the seamstresses and they were both beautiful
"Well, I don't know-" Sango began
"Does it have anything to do with you, Kagome, being the true Lady of the Northern Lands" Abunai said surprising Kagome and Sango as well as Jasmine and Damaru
"When you fell into the door of the Northern Lands, the word on the door had said, 'The true Lady of the Northern Lands has returned,' Care to explain" Lily said never taking her gaze off of doing Kagome's hair
Kagome and Sango both looked towards each other as if pleading for help; they realized that they couldn't get lie to them so they just decided to tell them the truth.
Kagome decided to begin, "Well, you guys used to work for the Northern and Southern lands right?" When they all nodded, she continued, "and you guys did know that the Lord of the Southern lands and Lady of the Northern Lands were mates?"
They all gasped and stared at her in shock before Jasmine said, "Their love for each other was forbidden, that lead to practically no one knowing of their relationship. To this day, no one knows of it. How do you two know?" she asked
"Well you see…" Kagome began but Sango finished
"We are their daughters" Everything seemed to stop as Jasmine, Lily, Abunai, and Damaru just stared at the two 'human' girls. That's when they saw it, the fire and stubbornness of their lord in the girls' eyes and the cool, kind, calming aura of their lady surrounding them both
Abunai finally broke the silence by getting down on her knees and bowing lowly towards both of them with the rest of the girls following and saying, "You have finally returned maladies"
Kagome and Sango both looked at these servants that they had grown to trust in such a short time. Sango got up from the chair and said, "There is no need for you guys to bow to us"
"She's right," Kagome continued for her, getting up as well, "we are friends, no matter what, what we need now is for you guy's to help us out"
They all got up and stared at Kagome and Sango once again before Lily said, "You two are truly the daughters of Lady Kaname"
"What can we do to help?" Damaru said quietly
"Well we first need to tell you what's going to happen soon so listen" Sango said
At The Ball
"Welcome to the 50th anniversary of the union of two of the five grand Lords" a man began at the top of the staircase that led to the ball. Below them were demon and humans as well as miko's together. Most were Lords and Ladies of their own village. They all stared intently at the man making the announcement and who would soon bring in the Lords of the western and Eastern Lands
"I would now like to introduce the Lords and Ladies to you all" he brought out a list and began to read off it
"Now introducing Lord Yue, Lady Lina as well as Prince Kouga from the eastern wolf tribe" They walked down the staircase with grace and honor as many women stared at the prince in hopes of catching his attention. Kouga was not dressed in his usual outfit but wore something similar to what Sesshomaru would wear with his hair down which accented his ice blue eyes
"Also Lord Haoku, the temporary ruler of the Southern Lands" A man with features of a lion came walking down alone. He was extremely handsome, but something in his eyes showed his true colors. Jasmine and Damaru, who were in the corner both shivered at his presence,"
"Lord Hasuske, the temporary ruler of the Northern Lands as well as his siblings Prince Tasouke and Princess Yume" three snake youkai came walking down the stairs. The older brother looked dangerous and the two younger children seemed tense
"Lady Zora, of the Central Lands" A beautiful woman who looked like an angel walked down the stairs, she had two pure white wings coming from her back. When man at the bottom of the staircase asked if she was an angel, she shook her head laughing nervously and answered, "No I'm a dove youkai" she said walking away
"And now introducing the Lords of the Western and Eastern Lands, Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Akida" he said his voice beaming with pride for serving under the great lords. Sesshomaru as well as Akida walked down the staircase with a strong presence that drew every ones attention. Sesshomaru was wearing a kimono that was black that had the sign of the western lands on the back. He wore no armor that gave everyone a better view of his muscles. His hair was pulled up in a high ponytail that accented his sun blazing eyes
Akida was wearing a kimono like Sesshomaru's except the sign of the eastern Lands was on the back instead. His hair was down and was only a bit shorter then Sesshomaru's. Sesshomaru and Akida caught the attention of every female in the room.
After a couple of minutes of Sesshomaru and Akida talking to the guests, the sound of giggling was heard throughout the halls above the staircase. Suddenly a very happy Rin in an adorable bubble gum pink kimono with her hair pulled up into a high ponytail with a lily that matched her dressed tucked behind her ears came running down the staircase. The man at the top of the stairs quickly said, "Also Rin-sama, the ward of the western lands,"
He breathed a sigh of relief glaring at the hyper active girl for nearly costing him his job but his eyes softened as she ran back up the stairs saying a quick sorry before running back down the stairs. Before reaching the bottom she turned around to face him and said, "Their names are Kagome-sama and Sango-sama, Mila-san" Rin ran back down the stairs and went to play with the other children
The man, named Mila just stared at her retreating form. He walked down the stairs to join the party as well but when he reached the bottom step, he heard even more laughter coming from the top. Only he heard them and when he looked up, his breath was taken away. He quickly ran back up the stairs and said, "Are you two Kagome-sama and Sango-sama?"
"Yes," They both answered
He couldn't tear his eyes from them even though they were human but noticed that they began to descend down the steps and said, "Introducing Kagome-sama, and Sango-sama" he said loud enough to grab the attention of everybody at the ball
Kagome and Sango walked down the stairs not even noticing all the attention they were getting from many of the men in the party. Kagome was wearing a tight fitting kimono that showed her curves entrancing every man at the party. The top half was the same cut as the dress she was in earlier. The bottom half went down to her ankles but had two slits from her hips down. It was silver with blue snowflakes around it. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun with a few strands of hair placed onto her face. She barely had any make-up on except for silver eye shadow that accented her eyes
Sang had and outfit that was almost like Kagome's except the top half was sleeve less. It was black with flames coming from the bottom of the dress. Her hair was left down but was wavy with a red flower tucked behind her ear. She also barely carried any make-up except for the red eye shadow that brought out the red in her eyes
Sesshomaru and Akida were staring at the beauties walking around the party completely oblivious to the fact that they had unconsciously grabbed the attention of every man there.
They both growled as men began to surround them asking for them to dance. Sesshomaru and Akida both walked towards them grabbing their hands while they dragged them both to opposite direction and whispering into their ears saying
"Care to dance?"
Whoa, is it me or are all my chapters getting longer. This one was 23 pages, TWENTY-THREE, Sorry for making it so long if you don't like it this long. I'll try to make it shorter in the next chapter, but not that much shorter. I hope you like this chapter cause I had a serious case of writers block so if you have any questions about what's going on, I will happily answer them. Just send an e-mail or review, I'll e-mail you and answer and probably but it on the next chapter. Also, I took a long time because I am seriously addicted to MySpace, goodness, that thing is a drug, LOL
