The Grandchildren of The 2 Great Lords
Disclaimer: I don't own Nurarihyon or its characters; the same goes for the characters of Inuyasha…
Chapter 8
"I'm the granddaughter of Inu no Taisho."
The homeroom was in complete silence.
She's a descendant of Inu no Taisho? Thought Nura Rikuo. I remember jiji saying:
"If you meet any descendants of the inu daiyoukai, let me know… even better, ask them to join the Nura Gumi"
This makes it all the more interesting!
"Oi, Taisho-san…" said Rikuo, with a smirk on his face.
"What is it, Rikuo-sama?" I said with a smirk.
"Would you like to join the Nura Gumi?" he asked.
Everyone in class gasped. The Nura Gumi? Which means, that Rikuo is the Young Master of the famous Nura Clan! I did not see that one coming…
I can already hear the murmurs, "is she gonna join?" "is he for real?" "he hasn't asked anyone to join since he's being in this school" "who can he?" "she's noble, so what!"
I sighed.
"I must kindly decline, Nura-kun," I said with a smile, but my eyes said something else. He caught it…
"Hn… don't come back later begging me to get in, Taisho-san," he said slumping in his seat.
"I won't," I said nonchalantly.
Is he… disappointed?
The rest of the day went uneventful; to my surprise the Nura kid didn't make any stupid remarks or attempts towards me, in fact, he completely ignored me… Why the hell do I care!
At recess I recounted the events of the previous night to Seiichimaru, up to this morning.
"So, you reviled us…" Seiichimaru said.
"Well, you never said we shouldn't… Nor uncle prohibited us…hehe" I laughed nervously. He sweatdropped.
"So why did you ignore his invitation to the Nura Clan?" he asked catching me off guard.
"I… I… don't know…"
"Don't you remember what my father told us before we left your house?"
Why is he so upset!
"Yeah, how can I forget," I said.
Flashback
"Seiichimaru, Kameko," said uncle Sesshomaru at the dinner table after we had finished our breakfast, "We will be leaving shortly to that new school… I want both of you to behave," my cousin and I sweatdropped at this. "Specially you, Kameko…" he continued.
"Why me?" I said with a bead of sweat drops coming forming in the back of my head.
"Because you can't seem to control your temper, child," snorted out my father.
"And you are the one to talk, Inuyasha!" said my mother.
"She surely takes after her father," pointed out aunt Rin. Everyone sighed.
"Hey! You're saying it like it's a bad thing!" I exclaimed.
"Another thing," pointed out uncle Sesshomaru, ending this discussion, "if by any chance you encounter any members of the Nura Gumi, it will be imperative that you befriend them."
"Nura Gumi?" I asked perplexed.
"Who are they, father?" Seiichimaru asked.
"They are a clan composed of very powerful ayakashies, led by Nurarihyon, a youkai that personifies illusions and dreams. He is a very powerful youkai; he led several battles against us, the inu youkai, but none were victorious, proving that both clans where equal in power. Both leaders shared the same ideal, that youkais and humanity could live as one in peace…"
End of Flashback
"You shouldn't have declined, Kameko," Seiichi said opening a bag of chips and eating it.
"If you are so mad then, WHY DON'T YOU GO AND JOIN THEM YOURSELF!" I yelled, turning around and storming away. BAKA! As if I will join them! What an idiot! 'You shouldn't have declined' I mocked. He can join himself if he wants to, I could care less!
"Yare, yare… what is up with her," Seiichi said at his cousin's disappearing form.
How dare he not care! I was attacked by some ruthless youkai and all he cares is that I declined Rikuo! That an insensitive, stupid brother I have! I could've gotten killed! What an idiot!
The whole day I sat in the classroom, gazing at the sky, not even paying attention to class. At lunch I joined Yura at the rooftop after we got our food from the cafeteria. We talked about other stuff but she never mentioned the real reason she was here. I decided I didn't want to push; I'll give her some time. She mostly talked about her older brothers, Ryuji nii-chan, the lying pig and Akifusa nii-chan, dear and caring brother.
After we where done for the day, the soccer team was going to have a friendly match. She begged me to go with her and I agreed. I don't care much of big crowds but what gives, at this point, I don't care anymore. We sat next to a black and white haired female youkai, with very particular golden eyes and snowy white skin. She had some pom-poms. I remember seeing her the night I was fighting Itaku.
Both teams came out to the court and the crowd began to cheer. I decided to join in at the cheering when I saw a particular head.
Rikuo! And apparently he was the captain of the blue team. What a douche!
That's when I recognized the captain of the red team… Itaku?
The whistle chirped and the game began. The female youkai beside Yura started cheering, WAKA! WAKA! I sighed. She must be another of Nura-kun's subordinates…
As the game was being played, I was observing every member of both teams and analyzing their every moves; seeing their strength and weaknesses. I enjoyed sports, especially soccer and hockey, even baseball but I never played. Itaku was a great at the defense but Nura-kun was much better at the offense. He was a scorer. In the first half, he had managed to score 2 goals; meanwhile Itaku's team had a rough time defending their goal. Nura's team had a great defense but the red team shared the ball more within their teammates than the blue team.
Egotistical as usual, Nura-kun…
As they came back for the final half, the red team managed to score one goal and a penalty… too much for Nura's dismay. He seemed angry. Serves you well, Nura-kun…
As one of Nura's teammates passed him the ball, I observed how skillfully he dribbled the ball, fooling his opponents, as his strong legs calculated…
Stop right there, you stupid miko! What are you thinking?
GOALLLLLLLLL! The crowed cheered; the female youkai beside us went ballistics as the referee signaled the end of the game, stating that the blue team had won.
Hmph! I had no idea why I was so mad…
Then what happened later surprised me: Nura Rikuo and Itaku took off their shirts, reviling their very strong and sculptured physiques, and threw their shirts to the crowed. I was gawking at what I saw and I could see Rikuo smirking at the face I made, making me blush and look away… the fool!
Just then a piece of wet cloth fell on top of me, covering my head. I took it off immediately and I nearly passed out when I saw what it was… Nura's shirt… dripping in sweat!
I had so many mixed emotions: I blushed like I was mad, which in fact I was… how daring! But something caught my attention; my sharp nose smelled something unmistakable… cherry blossoms?
Those this means…
My train of thought was trampled when the intrusive youkai stood in front of me with a huge smirk on his face.
"You are so gross, Nura Rikuo! UGH!" I threw his shirt back, it landed on his face.
He seemed surprised, then upset, but he said nothing. I huffed and started walking away when,
"You know what they call them female inu," he said to the crowd around us, "they call them… bitches."
And he laughed.
Everyone did the same.
Poor Kameko... nobody likes to be insulted... anyways, REVIEW and read the next chapters...
