"Well, Kara-chan you see this is a place called the Feudal Era. This is basically the past of Tokyo. I know it's crazy but it's true. You see, there is a thing called the Shikon Jewel. You can wish for something if you have it. I sort of busted it a few months ago, and now I've teamed up with these guys to go and find it..." Kagome left out the Inuyasha, Kikyo and Naraku part of the story not wanting to get Inuyasha riled up.
Kara softly blinked trying to take all of this in. So that's why she's been gone so much!/i Kara thought quickly to herself and nodded," I guess I understand. I could come along, afterall your here. I might as well be here.." She grinned.
"This has nothing to do with getting away from your younger brothers does it?"Kagome asked, not receiving an answer for Kara bounded ahead at an increasing speed.
"What makes you say that?" She yelled back. The whole gang laughed except Inuyasha.
A little while later
The gang had stopped somewhere to eat, buying food from the local marketplace. Laying on a bench. Kara sighed happily being full," This food here is way better than the food back home!" She rubbed her belly.
Miroku watched Kara and said," Hey Kara?" He placed his staff down and came up to Kara.
Kara looked at Miroku," Yes, Miroku-san?"
Shippo jumped in," MIROKU! Don't do it..."
"Will you bare my child, Kara-chan?"Softly he grabbed her hands in his. Kilala watched and let out a confused mew.
Before Kara could respond right away, Sango hit the monk with her boomerang. "Obviously you don't know you manners monk!" Miroku rubbed his head and flinched thinking her was going to get hit by Kara too.
"Eh, if you give me more food like this than why not?" She was relaxed and of course was being sarcastic at the same time. Miroku looked at her with hearts in his eyes.
"Really?"
"NO!"She jumped up and socked him right in the face. Everyone went silent and busted out laughing at Miroku except for him and Kara of course. Surprisingly Inuyasha had a good laugh out of it too.
"Ms.Kara? Your clothes are ready!" A young woman called, form a nearby hut that was a armor & clothes shop.
"WHAT? Kara why did you order clothes? With what money?" Kagome shrieked freaking out.
"It was a trade-off actually. I traded my knowledge of business and trade with her and my school girl uniform. I have many more at home anyway. In return I asked her to make a few outfits for me. So no money involved." Kara jumped up and walked over to the lady. The two calmly walked in.
Inuyasha huffed,"What is wrong with that girl? That outfit of hers is good enough, just like yours.."
Kagome sighed,"Just you wait, Inuyasha..." Sango and Miroku looked at each other, and shook their heads probably both were going to start bickering again. Of course their prediction came right.
Shippo shook his head," It's like cats and dogs, when they fight..."
"SHUTUP SHIPPO!" Inuyasha yelled at him already mad at Kagome.
While the bickering continued Kara had come out. Suddenly the fighting stopped as they stared at her outfit. Kara was in a kimono fit for a feudal era lady. The fabric was black, with a silver ghost like wolf wrapping up her right leg. The lining was red, looking on the sleeves were pecked with white and red dots, appearing like a weird version of the night sky. On one arm was the kanji symbol for love in gold, while on the other shoulder was the symbol for wolf. The sash was gold, and was on securely. On the back of it was a silver crescent moon surrounded by two white roses, bleeding blood. There was a perect hole for her tail that swished out. Red, silver and black thorn like armor made an x across-ed her chest and wrapped twice around the very top of each arm connecting into the kimono, some of it poking up. Of course she was now barefoot.
"WOW! How did you get her to make that?" Kagome asked.
"I simply drew out the design for her. She was very impressed with my art skills. She made a basic black and red flowery kimono for me too." She held the folded clothing in her arms.
Miroku blinked," I wouldn't mess with you in that outfit..." The whole gang except Inuyasha was laughing. To him she reminded him of his brother Sesshoumaru in a smimilar style of outfit.
Sango smiled,"Agreed. Looks like Kagome's the odd one out again."Kagome laughed and shook her head.
Inuyasha growled,"Let's just go already." He was getting impatient with being here. The gang not soon after left going back to their journey. Sunset came fast and the gang had finally set up camp. Kara had been exploring and came back to the group, grabbing one of Kagome's towels.
"Hey! I found a hot-springs nearby. I'm going to go take a bath okay?" Kara said, and walked off without an answer. The gang sat their shaking their heads at her. She came upon the beautiful spot. Seeing the steam rise from the water put the girl at ease just by looking at it. Slowly, she took her clothes off and folded them neatly beside the water, with the towel wrapped around her. Gently she put her foot into the water and sighed happily. It felt so good. She let the towel drop near the edge, and gently lowered herself into the heated water. Her red hair went all around her as she leaned back against the land. She gently picked up her now soaking wet wolf tail and chuckled seeing as it looked like a rats tail for the moment.
"What's your business here, halfbreed?" A sudden voice called out to her. Kara looked around to see a man who looked like a feudal era lord, with silver hair and golden eyes. He was seated in another part of the hot-springs. She swam up to get a better look at him, seeing the blue crescent moon on his forehead, and the two blue stripes on the side of his cheeks.
"Wouldn't I have every right to be here? It's a free area isn't it?..." She quirked an eyebrow in his direction, " So who are you anyway? You look like a feudal lord or something..." He was about to answer when a small girl swam up to them both hugging the males arm.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Who's this pretty lady with you?" The small girl giggled,"Rin is me. You are?" She tilted her head to the side. Kara blushed softly thinking, Pretty? I'm not all that pretty but she's so adorable.. Sesshoumaru sat their awaiting her answer.
"I'm Kara Izumiko. It's nice to meet you, Rin-chan." Rin smiled hugging Sesshoumaru softly,"And you too... Sesshoumaru-sama."Rin pulled her hands away from Sesshoumaru and tagged Kara. Kara couldn't help but smile and chase after the girl playfully. Sesshoumaru watched the two play, Rin seemed so happy to have this halfbreed around.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Why are you allowing such a half-breed to fraternize with Rin?.." The toad demon known as Jaken asked his lord. He stood on a rock next to his master. It seemed weird how Sesshoumaru would allow this to even occur.
"..Rin seems happy that's why. I think I shall take this half-breed with us.." Was Sesshoumaru's simple reply. Jaken was about to object but Sesshoumaru shot him a cold look. Jaken closed his mouth and watched Kara with Rin. Kara picked up Rin and twirled her around despite the small girl being naked. The two were laughing and giggling. Kara never knew what it was like to have a sister, and playing with Rin she actually got a feel for it and liked it. She placed Rin down.
Rin smiled brightly," Kara-chan! You should come with us! Than we can play all the time. You would make Rin very happy!" Rin giggled while saying this.
"I don't know Rin. I would just have to tell my friends... I'd love to spend more time with you guys!" Kara grinned and made a peace sign adding,"After-all... I'm up for a change in the current plan." She stood up, her top half of her naked body being shown. Sesshoumaru stared as the water dripped down her body. For a half-demon she had the body fit for a full demon, he wasn't going admit this though. Jaken huffed though, not at all impressed.
"..Okay! Can I go with you than Kara-chan?" Rin asked. She looked at Sesshoumaru for a yes or no. He simply said nothing which usually meant a yes. Kara got out of the water placing her newly acquired outfit on. Rin smiled at the outfit," You and Lord Sesshoumaru-sama have the same taste in clothing..."
"Really? Nice to hear that Rin. If you want to come with you can..." Kara looked at Sesshoumaru with a smile," I'll keep her safe, Sesshoumaru-sama. It's only a 5 minute walk." As she was saying this Rin had gotten dressed and grabbed Kara's hand smiling cutely. Sesshoumaru said nothing and the two set off.
