His Hime by Huntress11
Chapter 1
Hello everyone. This chapter is going to start out a little slow but I promise you that it will pick up. Thank you for your patience. Enjoy the read. :)
Chapter 1:
The quiet of the land brings peace to my soul as I sit and relax against a cherry blossom tree. I feel the vibrations of running feet from the ground and just calmly sit there waiting. Soon the feet come to a stop near me. I open my eyes to see my friend and servant, Sango, standing near me breathing heavily. I smile at her and climb to my feet dusting off my kimono and holding my water skin out to her. She grabs it with a nod of thanks before tipping it back. She sighs as she stops drinking and holds the skin out for me to take again.
"I am sorry for the intrusion on your meditation my hime but your father has requested your presence in his study," she tells me in a quiet tone of voice.
"Thank you Sango," I say with a smile before giving out a shrill whistle.
The sound of flapping wings announces the arrival of my dragon, Seriyu. Her light blue scales and almost white wings glisten in the sun light off the slight beads of water. She lands a few feet away from me and gently rubs her head along my left hip. My clothing gets a little wet from her wet scales.
"Went for a swim did you, Seriyu," I ask with a giggle petting her head.
She nods with a growl of agreement as she turns to allow me into her saddle. I climb up onto her back and reach my hand out to pull Sango up behind me. Once we have settled, Seriyu opens her wings and leaps into the air flapping her wings to gain altitude. Sango squeaks and grabs ahold of my tail as Seriyu does some dips and tight turns for fun. It takes about five minutes for us to arrive. Seriyu lightly lands on the ground near a group of mysterious demon horses. They look well cared for that it is most likely a demon noble here on a visit.
“My lady, here is a gown for you to change into. I must also warn you that your father has high noble guests with him,” Sango warns me bowing her head as she hands me a package.
I nod my head in thanks before heading to one of the small changing rooms near father’s study. I open the package and see that it contains a twelve layer kimono that starts black and develops more cherry blossoms with each further out layer. The kimono also has a furisode. There is a cherry blossom hair ornament, white slippers, and a fan with metal ribs. I sigh because I hate wearing such a thick layered kimono. I hurriedly dress in the kimono making sure each layer is smooth and tightly tied for a thin waist. The obi is light silver with cherry blossoms along the bottom of it. I tie my hair up in a tight bun securing it with the ornament and let a few strands of my hair frame my face. I reach for the slippers and my hand rubs against a small container. I open it to see some face paint and kohl.
“Really father for what reason am I going to be fully decorated,” I whisper staring at the paint and kohl.
I continue preparing myself trying to hurry because father does not like to wait very long. Once I have finished preparing myself, I look at myself in the mirror and sigh. I look like a true noble lady which I only do on occasion. My tail is hanging over my shoulder, and I have tucked the fun into my obi. I open the door and hurry a couple of doors down to father’s study. I kneel by the door and lightly rap on the door bowing my head.
“Enter,” my father commands with a slight hint of agitation.
I gently slide the door open and slide myself into the room before closing it back behind me. I turn around and kowtow to my father and his guests. They are the Western Lord and his sons who are silver inu demons like father and I are shadow inu demons.
“I apologize for the long wait my lords,” I say keeping my head touching my hands.
“About time you arrived wench,” the youngest son whispers trying to not let me hear as I raise my head and softly approach the seat on my father’s right.
“Quiet Inuyasha,” his father, Inutaisho says. “May I ask why your daughter has joined our talks, Kiru?”
“My daughter is very skilled in the ways of war as well as courts my friend. She trains our dragons and war horses,” he tells them with a smirk.
“Father,” I gasp snapping my fan open and holding it in front of my face hiding my blush.
“Stop being modest and read this,” he commands handing me a scrap of paper.
I look at the sheet and my brows scrunch together in worry. This is not good at all.
“I told you the gift would not be enough to appease them father for the supposed wrong done to them. Has a letter of demands arrived just yet,” I ask staring at all of them.
“Not yet my dear but I am expecting it,” father replies but is interrupted by the door being slammed open nearly causing the screen to break off of the track and a cat messenger in all white clothes walks in.
“Where are your manners, neko,” demand Sesshomaru, Inutaisho’s oldest.
“Shut up mutt. This is for the lords and not you,” the neko hisses glaring at him.
In a flash I stand up and block Sesshomaru from attacking the neko. I grab ahold of his hand and rub on it soothingly. He turns to glare at me but I smile at him.
"Sessho my love please calm down," I whisper a little too loudly.
He stares at me for a moment with a questioning look in his eyes. He sighs before wrapping his arms around me and placing his head on my shoulder and breathing in my scent to "calm" down. The neko stares at us before smiling and handing the letter to my father and heading out the door. After we can no longer hear him walking away, I step out from Sesshomaru's arms and sit near my father.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru," I say with a bow of my head opening my fan and fanning myself.
"Okay where has the ice prick gone? Normally you would have torn someone’s head of for daring to do such things to you,” Inuyasha yells getting up close and personal with his brother.
Sesshomaru grabs his brother by his throat and slams him against a bookcase before saying, "Because she speaks the truth. Kagome-hime and I have been arranged since her birth to be wed. Have we not?"
"Yes we have. There has long been an agreement between the both of our families," I reply with a smile.
"Hold on, so you are willing to marry this prick," Inuyasha demands staring at me.
"Your brother and I have long since come to agreement on our marriage. Have we not my love," I ask.
"Yes and those reasoning’s you will find out with time little brother," Sesshomaru says holding his hand out to me.
I smile and take his hand allowing him to pull me to my feet. I gasp as he pulls aside the top left shoulder of my kimono and hurry to cover myself. I look down and realize that he is showing one of my scars to his brother. I blush and try to move the cloth back but he just lightly growls a warning at me.
"This is no wall flower, Inuyasha. Kagome-hime has gone thru much in her life and come through it much better for it. We have not always been this close," Sesshomaru says before laying a soft kiss on the scar.
He pulls the sleeve up and growls at his younger brother as we can both see the slight lust in his eyes. Sesshomaru pulls me closer to him and runs his deadly claws down my neck. I tilt my head back in submission showing my full trust in both him and his demon side. His chest rumbles with contentment.
"Father, we shall be in the gardens if you need us," I tell him. "We can expect another set of demands in a couple of days."
"And why is that wench," Inuyasha demands glaring at me.
Not even a second later, Inuyasha is on the ground holding his throat and coughing. I had rammed my fan into his throat. I bend down and pull his chin up with my fan with a growl.
"Even I have a limit to my patience, Inuyasha. As your brother has hinted at I am more than some soft wall flower who needs protection. This is your last warning. Call me wench once more and more than your throat will hurt is that clear," I demand glaring at him.
He nods his head slowly. I grab Sesshomaru's hand and drag him out of the room. As the door nears closed completely, I hear Inuyasha ask what the hell my fan was made out of and I chuckle.
Yes Kagome and Sesshomaru are OCC but that is because past events have brought the both of them closer and changed Kagome greatly. Kagome is not the carefree girl that most people know. Before you ask, yes I will be adding some of the history into the story because it ties in with it. Please review it lets me know that you enjoy it or you hate it. I love criticism and ideas so please do not be afraid.
