-Hurray!
Inuyasha strode through the forest. He could see the forest start to thin away into a meadow. The meadow was full of bright wild flowers. The grass was tall, lush, and bright. The weather was nice and the sun shone bright in the clear blue sky. There was a gentle breeze passing by, birds sang, and in the distance, Inuyasha heard children playing. This brought a weary grin to the hanyous face, "Heh, its like the world is trying to make me feel better. Good try, but not enough." Inuyasha looked across the field, gazing at the large, elegent castle the sat opposite to him.
This, was his old home. The western castle. The territory ruled over by great dog demons, but kind and welcoming to humans. Inuyasha has lived in this monument of the past of a young boy. But when he turned five, his mother grew ill, and they were forced to moved to a different part of the country, where the land could supply herbs that might save her. Though in the end, her body was weak and a fever caused by an intense winter took her away from him forever. Since then, he only visited the castle a handful of times.
Inuyasha sighed and the took a deep breath, "Its now or never," Inuyasha began walking through the high grass. He had sent Myoga to the Sesshomary a week ago to tell his brother, the recent lord of the lands, that he would be coming to speak to him about very important business, and that he better be at the castle by the time he got there. And Inuyasha knew Sesshomaru was there. He could smell the king of ice from inside the structure.
Soon he arrived at the gates, the were, as usual, closed to protect the people and demons that found shelter within. Inuyasha considered knocking and he knew someone would open it in a minute or two, but decided he would just jump it, knowing that he wouldnt have to wait at all that way. He lept up onto the top of the wall, and quickly scanned over the courtyard before stepping off and landing smoothly down.
Out of the few people that were in the courtyard they glared at Inuyasha thinking how rude and disrespectful it was to simply jump over the wall. A little demon child, probably four, ran over to Inuyasha and shook her finger up at him, "Thats a no-nooo mister! You gotta knock!" Inuyasha smiled, if anyone else had said that (or a more mature version of that) it would have pissed him off, but this kid was to cute to be mad at. He knelt down to be eye-to-eye with the toddler and patted her on the head, "I know. I'm sorry. But I know Sesshomaru...er... sama, really well and I dont think he'll mind me." Inuyasha watched the little girl grin and nod, "Well dont do it again or Mama will get mad at you!" Inuyasha chuckled and watched the kid run off, she waved so he waved back as he stood up. After that, no one else seemed to bother Inuyasha about his 'rudeness', He assumed the few demons heard him say he knew Sesshomaru-baka, and told the rest not to mess with me. It could almost be called a privilage, but not as much as saying, 'I'm Inuyasha Taishou, secondary heir of the western lands.' Though if he HAD said that, people would act annoying, and others would get the wrong idea.
Inuyasha started walking through the paths between homes and work areas, twisting all around through areas people usually didnt walk through. But he knew his way around the place, the best way to get out, get in, get around, and to get to where Sesshomaru would be. He simply wanted to get in and get out.
The largest wooden structure behind the wall was getting closer and closer. Inuyasha would be there soon, if it wasnt for the young girl about the same age as Inuyasha that jumped in front of him. "Inuyasha-sama?" She called out, her arms were out to block his way. Inuyasha soon recognized her, "Keh. Hey Mimiko. How's it going for you?"
The girl nearly fell over, "Inuyasha! I thought you were dead!"
"Well I'm sorry to say I'm not, never was, and wont be for a while."
"B-b-but that was ten YEARS ago! Why didnt you ever come back?"
"I didnt feel like it. And what point would there be?"
"Its YOUR castle, home, and the place where you were raised!"
"Its Sesshomaru's castle, and why does the last two matter?"
"You are the secondary heir! And this is the place where you knew everything! You have friends, family, and memories!"
"Secondary, knew, you were my only friend, Sesshomaru was only my half brother who never gave a crap about, and memories of my mother."
The girl opened her mouth like she was going to talk, but she was silent. Then she put her arms down and turned her back to Inuyasha, "Well I miss you."
Inuyasha walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders, "I missed you too. But I knew you'd get over it. Your tough." She sighed, "Baka." Inuyasha bumped her on the head, "Your the baka! Always have been! Always will be!" She groaned, "So what are you here for?"
Inuyasha paused for minute, contemplated wether he should lie or tell her the truth.
"I am asking Sesshomaru for permission to marry the girl I love."
