NEW CHAPPIE

Name of Story: Misa

Summary: My name is Misa. Up until recently, I was an average human girl. I worked in my family's fields and my parents were forcing me to marry some boy that I do not love. So, I ranaway. Now, I am on a journey of my life with Sesshomaru, heir to the Western Lands

Author's Note: Hi! Thank you all so much for the reviews. Just because I love and I want this story to get a roll on, I will not complain how little reviews I'm been getting. I know someone (cough) BlackRosetheVampire (cough) wants this next chapter. Therefore, here it is, Muse. R&R

Name of Chapter: Talking

…

"Ow," I cried out as Juro and Jin threw me on the hard floors after dragging me out of the room and into another far from it.

"Shut up!" Jin growled. "Work starts early."

"No!" I cried as Juro and Jin slammed the door shut. I pounded on it with my fists and turned the handle but it was locked. "Let me out! Release me!"

"Misa?"

I whirled around and breathed in relief at Kayo.

"Kayo!" I embraced her tightly. I released her and looked her in the eye. There was so much sadness in them. "What's going on?"

"You were chosen to be a servant." Kayo stated.

"Yes, I was. What was that?" I asked.

"Every time new girls come here, Katashi or his brother Takashi chooses what they'll be. A geisha or a servant. Depending on how they look, act, and think." Kayo explained. She gave me a questioning look. "What did you do, Misa"

I nodded. "I refused to bow and call him Lord."

Kayo crossed her arms against her chest. She probably believed there was more.

"And I spat in his face." I said, looking at the floor. I tried not to laugh.

"I should have known." Kayo muttered. However, she was smiling. Kayo and I were a lot alike. We defied our parent's wishes. We were hungry for adventures and danger. We wanted to marry for love. We did everything together. I was slightly envious when she disappeared. I thought she was seeking out her adventures until I realized she would have told me first.

"Why do they call you Miki?" I asked her as we sat on the hard floor across from each other.

"A few months ago, someone came looking for me. I don't know who but Katashi and Takashi felt the need to change my name just in case they found me."

"Mamoru." I gasped, looking at her.

"My older brother?" Kayo asked.

"Yes. Soon after you disappeared, he left to go find you." I started. Mamoru had asked me if I had any idea where she was. I told him no and he left the next day. He returned to the village a month after he left, saying he thought he saw her but it turned out to be a girl who looked like Kayo.

Kayo laughed; her eyes bright.

"I should have known. Mamoru is my protective older brother." Kayo said; a shine in her eyes now. "I miss all of them."

"We'll get out, Kayo. I know we will." I said to reassure her and myself. I wasn't so sure I would be able to escape from here with Juro and Jin guarding it.

"Enough about me. What about you?" Kayo asked, shifting her posture. "How did you come to be here? Did the morons come to our village again and take you?"

"No. I ran away and they caught me." I told her.

"You ran away? Don't tell me, to look for me?" Kayo tightly gripped my shoulders and I laughed.

"No, no. Maybe. Remember Kyo?"

"The whiny little brat that was dressed in his older brother's clothes?"

"Yes. My parents were forcing me to marry him." I gave a knowing look to her. If she hadn't disappeared, she would have married a cousin of his, who was more whiny and brattier.

"Ew. Say no more. I completely understand why you ran."

We laughed, holding our stomachs. Doing this, it seemed as if all the tension went away. This reminded me of all the great times I've had with Kayo when we were younger and carefree. We didn't have to worry about marriages or working in the fields. We could just be ourselves and mess around until the sun went down.

"Okay, so after you ran away, what happened?" Kayo asked; her eyes even brighter. She was always eager for tales.

"I found a demon. Two demons, actually." I said and she gasped.

"Really? That's so amazing. What were they like? Do you still want to be a demon?"

"Yes, I still want to be a demon. Well, S-s-Sesshomaru tried t-to," I started, my voice cracking. Why was it so hard for me to talk about this? I smiled sadly and blinked.

Kayo's expression suddenly got serious along with her tone. "He what, Misa?"

"He tried to kill me."

"WHAT?" Kayo screamed; a deadly look in her eyes. "When get my hands on him, he will be dead."

I laughed. I knew Kayo wouldn't hesitate to kill Sesshomaru. She once knocked out Mikio for groping me. "Don't worry, Kayo. I dodged his attacks and then I fainted."

"Why did you faint?"

"I had been walking for three days straight without any water." I explained, her eyes now showing worry.

"You dork."

I smiled more. It felt good to talk to her again. I forgot when you're talking to Kayo, you just seem to smile.

"Okay, then what happened?" Kayo eagerly asked, practically bouncing.

"I woke up with a pounding head and his servant Ja…Jaken gave me…water and I felt better." Jaken. I forgot about him. Was he okay? I hope he was.

"Aww. Now I don't have to kill him." I giggled. "Go on. When you came here, you were dressed so elegantly. Did Sesshomaru give you that outfit?"

I laughed halfheartedly. "No. I bought it. Sesshomaru is cold and emotionless and doesn't talk very much."

"Sounds…guarded. What kind of demon is he?"

"Dog demon. He's the heir to the Western Lands."

"Ooh. A prince." Kayo mused and giggled. "Is he handsome? What does he look like?"

"He is handsome." I replied, absentmindedly smiling. I knew a light blush was on my cheeks.

"Miki, lights out." A woman said now, from a bedroll next to us. I didn't even notice their was beds and other women in here.

"Oh, shoot. I lost track of time." Kayo stood up and I made to stand up with her but she stopped me. "Sleep, Misa. We'll talk more in the morning."

"What? I don't want to sleep." As soon as I said this, I yawned and my eyelids dropped. I didn't realize how tired I was. Walking for half the day in the forest. Tried to fight off Juro and Jin and failed. Being scrubbed to death and seeing Kayo again and then meeting that ass Katashi. It takes a lot out of you.

"Go to sleep, Misa." Kayo commanded and I had no choice but to obey. Kayo pointed to a bedroll and I went to it.

"Where are you going?" I asked as Kayo walked to a window and opened it.

"To see someone. Now sleep before I force you." Kayo sent me one of her signature glares. I silently gulped and laid down on the bedroll.

I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

…

I looked at Misa, seeing her asleep before turning back to the window. I was going to be late.

"You're going to get caught doing this, Miki." Fukio said to me. Fukio was another servant like Misa and me.

Kami, I can't believe she was actually here. I hadn't seen her since the day they took me.

"I know, Fukio." I said, swinging my legs over the window. I looked at a big tree, yards away from me; where I know where he would be waiting. "But Akio is worth it."

I jumped to the ground and walked silently. I could be severely punished if I was caught right now for being out after dark and with a boy.

Nevertheless, that was a chance worth taking. I didn't care if I was punished for being with Akio. I loved him.

I arrived at the large oak and whistled and waited.

Someone whistled above me and then I heard a thump next me.

"Kayo," I turned to the voice and smiled. "You came. I thought you would never come."

"Sorry, Akio." I breathed, looking into his sky blue eyes with a red tint around his pupil. I loved his eyes. I could only see him faintly from the light coming from the geisha house. "Misa is here." Akio was the only person I told about Misa and my real name. I trusted him with it.

"Your old friend?" Akio said, taking my hands in his. Akio worked in the kitchens, making food and collecting the dishes and washing them. He never complained about his jobs, though. He liked them. I loved it when people didn't complain so much about things. It made me happy.

"Yes. She just came here today." I replied, smiling more. Although I loved it that she was here, I wish she weren't at the same time. Katashi and his more of a moron brother Takashi will try to break her. They will try anything to do it.

Just like how they broke me. I didn't go down easily, though. It was months before they finally did. However, I kept my independence. They couldn't take it away from me.

"That's wonderful."

I nodded, gazing at the ground now.

"Is something wrong, Kayo?" Just like me, Akio could sense others feelings. Another reason I trusted him so much.

"I'm just thinking, Akio." I told him, looking into his eyes again. Akio wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me close to him. "Misa is going to have a hard time here. She's just like me and just as stubborn."

"She will be fine," Akio reassured me. "She has you to fall back on. I know you won't let Misa down."

I nodded and buried my head on his shoulder.

Misa is just about as stubborn as I am. She will do anything not to obey any one. Especially Katashi and Takashi, when she met him. I hoped she never would.

If they did try to break her, she would have to be almost beaten to death to start obeying.

Just like I was.

To Be Continued…

There you have it. A nice chapter. I hope you people liked it. You got to know Kayo/Miki a little more and her POV. (Wink, wink). You'll meet the villain in the next chapter. Another big thanks to my muse, BlackRosetheVampire for helping me out on her character. Now it's time for brownies.

R&R kindly please.
