A new Feudal Fairy Tail

Chapter 3

By: Jenny Blue

Flipping the light on, Kaz was glad she had gotten the little windmill working. As she surveyed the little room that would be hers. Setting the lacquer wood trunk in the corner. Kaz moved to the middle of the room and looked around her. It was smaller then her old room, but she never did need a lot of space. She went to mover her bed roll when InuYasha came in with her other trunk and setting it in the middle of the room. She only looked at him for a moment before moving to the trunk and opening it.

 

“Three days and she still wont talk to me. Either she's still mad or she's afraid I'm still mad at her. An why do I give a damn if she is or not?” InuYasha thought as he watched her from the doorway. He had expected both trunks to be full of clothes, but only the smaller of the two had her clothes in it. He watched as she pulled out a small black lacquer wood writing desk.

 

Kaz set her little desk by the doorway. Watching InuYasha out of the corner of her eye. She had noticed him raze his eyebrows. But brushed it off as nothing. Going back to her trunk, she removed her brushes and ink stick as well as her school thing and places them either in the desk or beside it. Still feeling InuYasha watching her doing this. She looked at him for only a moment before she went back to her trunk. She wasn't read to see surprise in his eyes. Anger yes, but surprise, no she was not expecting that.

 

InuYasha continued to watch her unpack the trunk. Besides the desk, she also hade a little vanity table with a mirror. Then three boxes of different sizes were set on it. Then a silver handled hairbrush set in front of the boxes. Then from the bottom of the trunk, she pulled out a light green comforter and set this by her bedroll. Then she closed the trunk and started pushing it to where her other trunk was. InuYasha smirked and moved to help her.

 

“Let me do that for you.” He said as he picked it up and set it next to her other trunk.

 

“Thank you InuYasha. I…” Kaz stammered when he looked at her. “I just wanted to say I'm sorry. All of this is so new to me and I'm a little edgy I guess.” She finished looking at her hands.

 

InuYasha had to stop himself from going to Kaz. She looked so small sitting there looking at her hands. Again he found himself wanting to protect her. Wanting to see her smile. He knew he had to say something, but he was afraid of what he might say.

 

“Feh, it's nothing. I've had worse done to me for stupider things.” An he left the room.

 

Latter that night Kaz still felt bad about what had happened three days ago. She let herself flop down on her futon. Missing her own time, she wondered what her friends were up to. Kaz knew that if she ever was able to go back to her time and stay there. She would never miss this place; not having to worry if some monster was going to eat her. Life was much easier before she came to this forsaken place. Tomorrow she would be seventeen, two years older then her mother was when she came here. Tomorrow was also the village's spring vestibule. As she rolled over in her bed, a single tear escaped her eye; rolling down her cheek before she fell asleep.

 

------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

“Everything is ready. Miruko is going to take Umi to InuYasha and he'll keep an eye out for over advance boys. All we need to do is get ready ourselves.” Sango said, walking into the hut.

“Good, all I need to do is help Kaz 's finish getting ready. Now, you go get your self ready Sango. We don't want to make Miruko wait too long.” Kagome said, placing a few pins in Kaz 's hair so it wouldn't fall in her face, but framing it just right.

“Kaz, I wish I knew how you can stand your hair that long?” Sango said, slipping her obi around her waist and tying it. “You look like a true noble woman. If I hadn't seen you let your hair down and unbraid it in front of me, I wouldn't have known it was you.” Sango said, as she placed a wreath of white lotuses on Kaz 's head. Then placing another wreath of flowers on hers and Kagome's.

Kaz stood and looked herself over in the mirror. She was a little surprised, the person looking back at her did look so different from what she was use to seeing. The girl she saw did look like a noble woman. From her hair, to the clothes, to her looks. She never knew she could look so beautiful. All her life she believed that she didn't have the beauty her mother had. The only thing that remained of the Kaz she knew was her eyes, though slightly darker now that her hair was not pulled back. They were still the same striking blue. The soft pink kimono her mother gave her brought out her feminity even more. Kaz reached down and picked up her simple white fan. If she were to play that part of a noble woman, then she would go all out. As she turned to leave the hut, she took a deep breath, opened her fan and walked out. Greeting a shocked Miruko.

InuYasha sat and watched the villagers from one of the central huts. Though he didn't like being around so many humans, he never passed up the chance for free food. This was no exception. The villagers played music, sang and danced around him. They made him feel like he almost belonged. He let himself smile when some of the children came dancing by and wave at him. Even some of the village girls were waving to him with their fan. Trying to get him to join them in their dances. When Miruko came up to him, dragging someone behind him. The smile he was wearing vanished. “What do you want monk?”

“Keade and Kagome want you to escort one of our guests.”

 

“Feh” was all he said in response.

The monk then pulled a beautiful young woman out from behind him. He smirked when he saw the look on InuYasha's face.

InuYasha stood straight up. His heart skipped a beat; his breath caught in his throat. He let his eyes travel over her before returning to her blue eyes. They reminded him of Kaz's, but he knew she could never look like this woman before him. Where hers were cold to look upon; this girl's were warm. Her hair was longer with a slight wave to it. While Kaz kept hers in those braids. The woman hair rested on the train of her soft pink kimono. A simple wreath of white lotus blossoms on her head; a soft smile to her red lips; a light blush to her cheeks and a simple white fan hiding most of her face.

“Welcome m'lady to our village. May I ask what ye name may be?” InuYasha asked, bowing to the young woman.

Miruko looked to InuYasha in wonder. He never knew the hanyo could be so polite or even had manners. Then he looked to the girl next to him. He had to laugh to himself. She was blushing and trying to hide her face with her fan. He was about to say her name then she stepped forward and bowed to InuYasha. Keeping her fan in front of her face.

“I am lady Umi, thank you. So ye are the great InuYasha that I have heard so much of?” she said, taking his arm. Letting her fan show only her eyes and a slight curve of her nose.

For the rest of the day InuYasha showed Lady Umi around. Steeling looks at her when he thought she wasn't looking. His breath was taken away every time she seemed to blush and when she laughed. His heart would skip a beat. Something about her seemed so familiar to him. He just wished he could place where he had met her before. That and he wanted to see her whole face. Not just glimpses of it. It was so frustrating to him, but he didn't let it show. As the day wore on, InuYasha tried to find out more about her, but she would find a way to change the subject or avoid it all together.

 

“Which of the great houses do you hale from?”

 

“I should not say. For I really should not be here.”

 

“Then let me take you home before you are missed.”

 

“No!” She stopped, letting go of his arm. “You don't have to do that. Really, I just want to see the village's festival. Beside, are you not worried they would think you took me in the first place?” she add, taking his arm again.

 

“Feh, I'm not worried about stuff like that.”

 

“Oh yes, big bad InuYasha fears no one and will kick anyone's ass.”

 

InuYasha razed a brow. Looking at Lady Umi from the corner of his eye. He never heard of a noble women talk like that. Not even his own mother would have said that. But it was something he had heard Kaz say once a few weeks ago. It made him look closer at the girl on his arm. She seamed to fidget. He doubled his efforts to find out more about her.

 

They walked some more. Listening to the music the villagers. By the time the feast was being served, the sun was setting. InuYasha gave up trying to learn about the girl and wondered where Kaz was. He hadn't seen her all day and he had something for her. When he turned his head from the girl by him to glance in the crowd for Kaz. Not being able to find her. When he turned back to Lady Umi, she was gone. An hour later Kaz saw walking with her mother.

 

She was wearing a simple blue kimono and an odd charm around her neck. Made of what looked like ivory and jade. InuYasha watched her as she joined them and began to eat. He wondered where she had been all day. He noticed she had a sad look in her eyes. He soon shrugged it off and went back to enjoying the festival. But in the back of his mind, those sad eyes seemed to hunt him. Making him want to make her happy

As the festival continued into the night, some of the villagers would come over to Umi's group and hand her small bundles, wreaths of flowers, hand made combs and hair sticks. She would thank them. Blushing the whole time. She could feel everyone watching her. But mostly I was InuYasha she felt watching her. Why did she care if he was looking at her? For that matter, what was that look in his eyes. Had he figured out that she was Lady Umi or was it something else? When she looked over at him. Their eyes looked for a moment. Then both turned away quickly, blushing.

 

Later that night, she sat on the roof of her hut. The village was now quite but there were a few shouts in the night. She leaned back, putting her hands behind her head and looked to the stars. Looking for the star pictures she and her father had named. After some time, she found the one she was looking for. A sad smile etching across her face. Then she could feel him next to her.

“So, where were you all day?” he asked her.

“Here and there, I was around.” She answered. “I didn't know you could be polite to others….”

InuYasha watched her there. Wandering why she looked so sad or what she had meant. He sighed, lying back to stare at the sky. For a time they both laid there in silence. Enjoying each other's company. But then he heard her sigh.

 

“What's wrong?” He asked, looking at her.

 

“The stars are so much brighter here. I was remembering the last time I was looking at stars so bright. It was on a camping trip when I was little and my father was still alive.” Umi said, leaning onto her elbows.

 

InuYasha copied her actions. Looking at her now.

 

“We would lay out under that stars and find pictures in them. Like there's the big dipper” Kaz said, pointing to the sky.

 

“I don't see anything up there.” InuYasha said, looking up.

 

“I'll show you.” She said as she moved closer to him. Kaz motioned for him to lie back down and placed her head on his shoulder. Extending an arm up, she used her arm to trace the stars.

 

InuYasha couldn't breath at first. She was so close to him. He could smell her sent so strongly this close to her. She smelled of flowers like Kagome and something else he could not places. Then there was her own sent mixed of the two. It reminded him of forest and trees; flowering trees. He listened as she named the star patterned she knew. Then she started naming ones that her and her father had made up.

 

“An that one there,” she pointed straight above them. ”Is my favorite one. We called it the white fox.” She moved till their heads were touching. “My father said the sky fox would always look over me. Shortly after that trip…… he dies.”

 

It took everything InuYasha had to stay calm. He listened to her voice. Fallowing up her arm. Seeing how the stars did form a white fox in the sky. When she pointed out the eyes to him. He moved slightly to look in Kaz's eyes and then the fox in the sky. They had the same blue eyes. As he looked into her eyes, he saw something more there. Before he knew it, InuYasha started to lean down, moving closer to Kaz. Kaz bolted up into a sitting position before he could kiss her.

 

InuYasha sat up too, blushing. He couldn't look at her. He stuffed his hands into the slaves of his haori. His hands came in contact with something. He pulled it out. He looked at the bundle wrapped in a giant leaf that was in his hands and then to Kaz. He set it next to her and left. She waited for a time before she picked up the odd bundle. Kaz looked at the odd bundle in her hands. Then to where InuYasha had been sitting. When she untied the ribbon that held it closed, she held the ribbon in her hands. It was made of a fine red silk. The same red of his fire-rat. Kaz gently placed the ribbon down and slowly unfolding the leaf. Revealing a blazing blue haori and matching hakama. She felt her breath hitch. She lifted it up and a piece of bark fell from it. When Kaz looked at the bark, there was something written on it.

” If your anything like you mother and you're going to live here. You will need your own set of fire-rat.” Was all it said.

She was surprised by the gift and thought he didn't know it was her birthday. Let alone know what one was. This made her smile. So she set the card aside and looked at the haori again and noticed it looked similar to InuYasha's but smaller and more feminine. She would wear it tomorrow when he and the others took her to a place called “Mirror Falls”. Kaz gently wrapped the haori and hakama back in the leaf and climbed down from the roof and went inside. She didn't notice InuYasha watching her from the shadows and she didn't see his smile as he left for his roost.

 

He was glad that for now, she didn't look so sad. Then he shook himself. Why did he care if she was happy or not? Why did he care at all? What the hell was he think about when he tried to kiss her. He could tell she was just as embarrass as him and… was it disappointment he saw too? He forced those thoughts from his mind and jumped to his sleeping branch. She had smelled so good. No, he wouldn't let himself go there. But, she was soft and it seamed she was so comfortable with him. He shook his head wouldn't let himself think anymore of it tonight and drifted off to sleep. A small smile on his lips.

 

 

 

To Be Continued

I hope you like this one. And review it soon. I decided that I'm still going to keep writing, but 1 review would be great. It would make me write the next one faster.

 

As for Kaz name. It's only half of it. Umi is the other half and when you put them together. You get Kazumi, which means Beautiful Harmony. As this continues, you will understand why I gave her this name.

 

Till then:

 

Those with wings,

Fly to your dreams.
