Latest chapter now up! I had expected to post this sooner but it is what it is I guess. I hope from starting from now or in the next few chapters it starts to peak you guy's interest a bit more. I just have fun writing this bit by bit everyday...it's such a joy! :)

I do not own Inuyasha...I wish...


Scroll V: Sneak

Izayoi appears in a plain kimono that hiked up to her mid shins. The auburn color of the clothing clashing with her pale skin. For once the woman could breath from being under all her daily layers, they weren't as heavy but they didn't help when feeling down.

I prefer to wear this...for such light coverage it feels comfortable! What a treat!

The maid outfit was only two layers with the inner layer a creamy tan. It held a stroke of elegance to it. A smile appears eagerly. Stunned the assistant walks cautiously to her princess, her palms sweating, "my lady, I would advise that whatever you have in mind to please be held to rest." The elder was happy to see the girl standing apon a hanging mirror in creating childish twirls and faint squeals, but she had to resist her from this.

If she could...

As the elder could see the child had a deaf ear at the moment. Izayoi's eyes lit in excitement and wonder, ready for her quest. Is it wrong to give her this moment? For just this once? The thought put Semiko's withered mind to rest. She couldn't rob her of this. All she could do in return was support whatever her princess decides. Isnt that the duty of a servant any way?

And from her look she would still leave this room even if it was against my better judgment...

Taking sight of the princess practically bouncing on her tippy toes Semiko gladily grabs the tray of dumplings from the blankets. Izayoi notes of her friends silent acceptance and brings out a grin of giggles as she grabs a ribbon and puts her mane up in a ponytail. Yes, from the start she was expecting on doing this alone but in visioning her dear companion joining this abrupt ordeal, that just made her day even more the merrier!

Sneaking out of the chamber became a tricky task from the guards in their standard positions, they had expected for one maid to come out not two. Izayoi didn't feel comfortable in keeping herself open to others even though her outlook of 'poor class'. Not wanting there to be a chance of anyone noticing her she walks behind Semiko, keeping her head down and her hands on her thighs.

"Where are we headed?" Semiko adds, Izayoi had took hold of the dumplings long before, in which were now in a silky bag. The youngling takes a quick look out at the nearest pair of guards, " to the Servant Quarters."

"Hence your state of dress."

"Yes, it feels nice to not have eyes all over you."

"That may be but also remember that they think of you as a slave. So when you do have attention do not expect to see polite outlooks."

Realization hit the lady; disturbance flowing "I forgot, it must not be an easy issue to ignore?"

"It's all on how you look at it, my lady," the woman's voice lowers at the last couple words, "I may be a hassle but it makes you understand."

They pass the dining area, "what?"

"That even though they are of noble blood, they are no better than us."

~O~

The night moon illuminates over their shoulders as they made it to a thick wooden door attached to the south side of the palace walls. Semiko carefully opens it, caution being the case as the door creaks and whines. No guards. Stepping around they close the door behind them.

"Wait its out the-" Izayoi almost leaps with hope until she sees that the palace walls also extended around this area. It forced the female to huff and slightly pout.

Semiko chuckles, "No we still remain inside the palace fortress, these walls built behind us have reasoning."

"Is it to separate classes?" The woman turns her head to her as they continue their stroll. Semiko shakes her head, "some would call these quarters 'a displeasing sight'."

"That's awful, they have no-" the maid raises her hand to stop her rising tongue, " it is how it is, now do you want these dumplings to waste?"

...and have me drag you back my dear.

Izayoi stops granting a slight heat on her cheeks, "sorry Semiko, I will not trouble any further."

Stepping deeper into the Servant Quarters.


Whooo I'm now just edging to get further since the action is now slowly building! One of the joys to have in having writing as a hobby! I don't really consider myself a writer but just something I love to do! I'm mainly going towards my art! I am a artist and that's a fact!

I'm thinking of drawing moments from this story and posting them...if I do then they'll be on my DeviantART account! And I'll notify you! I'm also making a Inuyasha comic on my account too!
