Inu Yasha walked threw
the door, deep in thought. He marked her; he didn't mean to, it
just happened. Now what? Does he have to let her move it? What if he
didn't tell anybody? He smiled at that thought. As long as he
doesn't tell know one would now, and he could remain the only
person living in his room. Yes, that would work.
"You marked
her" came a voice from the behind him.
Inu Yasha sighed. Of
course there was some way to tell, there always is. Turning he looked
at his father, who was not staring at him with a huge grin across his
face. "yes father I marked her" Inu Yasha said bored.
"OK
then, let's prepare. Inu Yasha clean your room and move your stuff
to the room at the end of the hall. It's much bigger. We'll need
room for her."
"Father" Inu Yasha interrupted.
He looked
at his son innocently.
"Look, I didn't ask her or tell her, I
just marked her. She's probably at home crying right now because
she doesn't know the identity of her now husband." Inu Yasha
sighed, ready for the yelling. It never came.
Inu Taishu laughed.
"I did the same thing to your mother. Just bit her out of the
middle of nowhere" He walked up to his son and patted his shoulder,
only to walk off. "Move your stuff, I'll pick her up in the
morning. It's a good thing it's Friday"
He went off and did
what he was told, scared as hell of her reaction the following
morning.
Sitting on the couch, kagome stared at the TV. It
was 9am in the morning and she had been up all night packing. She was
very much tired. She felt as if she could drop dead right now if she
wasn't so pervious about meeting this guy and his family.
Kagome
jumped at the knock at the door. Her mother ran from downstairs to
answer the door; which was a good thing, because kagome didn't feel
like getting up. Her mother welcomed the man into the house and
showed him the 6 boxes that sat in a pile in the kitchen. He and
another man carried them out of the house, one by one.
Her mother
walked around the couch and crouched down in front of her. "Dear,
the family servants are here to take you to their estate."
Kagome's
eyes widened. "Their rich?"
Her mother smiled. "Indeed they
are. They will take good care of you"
Kagome hugged her mother
like there was no return. After a few minutes, they pulled apart and
kagome was ushered to the limo that awaited her. Waving good bye she
ducked down into the limo and closed the door. They made their way to
her new home.
"Hurry people, she'll be here any moment"
Inu Taishu called out. He was never mean or demanding of his
servants. As a matter of fact he overly paid them and paid for any
schooling that hey might attend. Not to mention hired more than he
needed so that if one had midterms or family business they could have
a day or so off to take care of it. He was indeed a generous
Lord.
The house was awake early that morning, preparing for their
new lady. They prepared the finest breakfast, cleaned everything
twice, and prepared a wardrobe fit for royalty, since she was now
married into it. They ran back and forth hyper and excited. No one
knew whether or not she was kind or cruel. All they knew was that she
was 16, smart, pretty, and the powerful priestess everybody talks
about. They couldn't wait to meat her.
Inu Yasha on the other
hand, was nervous. Way too in fact. He dressed himself in is normal
everyday clothes, trying not to seem too over doing it, like the rest
of the house was. In reality, Inu Yasha was pleased that they were
going to the lengths that they were, he just didn't want them to
know that. Call it stupidity of a 17 year old boy.
"SHE'S
HERE!" His mother screamed form down stairs. "EVERYBODY
PLACES!" Inu Yasha started shaking. What if she didn't like
him? What if he made the worse decision of his life? Oh no! Walking
downstairs he saw every servant standing at the bottom of the stairs,
in front on the double doors; army of servant style. Everybody fixed
their clothes in anticipation. By the smiled on their faces, he could
tell they were really excited. They couldn't wait to meat the
legendary Kagome Higarashi.
His mom turned around and placed her
finger to her smiling lips. "Shh everybody. The car parked. I'll
escort her in" Opening the front door she exited the house, her
husband it tow.
Taking a deep breath, kagome waited for the
man to open the limo door. Once he did she hesitated. Finding her
courage, she stepped out and looked around. The house was the biggest
house she had ever seen. It was placed at the top of the hill so that
she could see the entire city from where she was standing. There were
trees and grass everywhere. She smiled. It was beautiful.
'ok,
step one. Surrounding…perfect' she turned around to see two
people standing in front of two giant doors. 'Step two, parents'
she was shocked to realize that one was human and one was demon.
Doesn't that mean her mate is a hanyou? She made her way to
them.
They watched as the girl stepped out of the car. "My
god she'd beautiful" Inu Yasha's mother gasped. "No wonder he
couldn't wait."
They waited for her to make their way to them.
Standing in front of them she fidgeted nervously. Gulping, she looked
up at their faces to find warm smiles. They relaxed her.
"Nice
to finally meat you kagome dear" The woman spoke first. "I am
Kodoru, your new mother in-law"
"I'm Inu Tiashu, you new
father in-law" the other spoke.
Kagome bowed. 'I've heard
that name before. But where?' "It's a pleasure to meat you"
"Well come on dear, let me show you around and introduce you to
your mate"
Kagome blushed at her words.
Inu Taishu smiled.
"Don't worry; we know he marked you without letting you see who
he was. It happened more often that you know" he smiled
Kagome's
blush didn't fade.
They escorted her into the house, where she
was met with an army of servants. They explained to her how their
servants are young humans and demons who have either no money or
family; some both, and some just one. They get free lodging plus
food, and free education. It's kind of a "home", but this one
allows you to make enough money to send home to help any poor family
you have.
Walking over to a small girl she knelt before her. This
girl seemed rather skinny and shy, barely 7 years old. Smiling warmly
as the girl kagome reached her hand out. At first the girl pulled
away, but after tying one more time she took a step forward.
Everybody watched in amazement as she made her way to kagome. Kagome
smiled and put a hand in her pocket, to pull out a lollypop. Handing
it to the girl she spoke quietly. "You know when I get scared I
suck on a lollypop. It reminds me of my dad. He use to give them to
me every weekend when we visited that park. I brought one with me to
help me threw this change in my life, but I think you should have it.
You look like you need comforting". The little girl smiled happily
and took the lollypop, only to undo the paper and suck on it. Kagome
smiled. "There, feel better?"
The girl nodded with a
smiled.
"What's your name?" kagome asked.
Leaning
forward, the girl whispered one word. "Rin". Everybody paused for
a moment.
"Rin, I'm kagome, if you need anything just ask,
ok?"
Rin nodded.
Standing up she noticed that Kodoru was
walking toward her. Taking kagome's arm in her she smiled happily.
"You know kagome that was the first time she talked since she came
here three weeks ago. You have such a way with children"
Kagome
blushed, "thank you".
No one noticed the hanyou on the stairs
starring dreamily at kagome.
"I think it's time you meat your
mate" she whispered into kagome's ear. Kagome nodded. Looking
past the army of servants she called out to her son. "Come her
dear, Kagome would like to see you".
One by one the servants
parted for her mystery man. She stood there waiting. There was only
one person left. He stepped to the side to reveille non other that
Inu Yasha. Kagome gasped causing Inu Yasha to flinch. He fidgeted
nervously under to gaze.
It seemed like along pause, until kagome
finally broke it. She had stared at him, confused at first; but then
it all made sense. Looking at him for that moment, she realized how
attractive he really was. Some force was drawing her towards his
golden eyes. Smiling lovingly at Inu Yasha it hit her; this wasn't
that bad. She knew how nice he was and that fact that he helped her
before was proof he cared.
Inu Yasha watched her moods change,
then land on one. He studied her to find what he was looking for;
approval. He let out the breath he didn't know he was holding.
Looking directly into her eyes, he was surprised to see that she was
walking right towards him. Stopping right before him, she smiled.
Leaning on her tipsy toes she wrapped her arms around his neck
for a hug. A hug she didn't know she wanted until that moment. She
felt him wrap his arms around her and place his nose in her hair.
Kagome smiled when a certain thought crossed her mind. Quietly she
whispered, just enough for only Inu Yasha to hear. "Next time you
jump me, make sure its somewhere else than a closet."
Inu
Yasha's face covered in red. She could feel the heat radiating off
of it. She giggled at the thought.
The only thought going threw
Inu Yasha's mind was… 'Did she just give me permission to jump
her?' Pulling back, Inu Yasha started to fidget once again under
her gaze. Looking up at his parents he silently asked for help.
"Inu
Yasha, why don't you show her your room?" Inu Taishu said, trying
to lend a helping hand. His poor son was drowning.
Nodding, he
looked back and kagome motioned for her to follow. Everybody watched
as they walked from site. The entire staff released the breath they
had been holding all at once.
"Thank you, you can go now"
InuTaishu smiled at his staff.
