Love Me as I Am

Chapter 8- Headstrong

~*15 Winters Later*~

"Come on Kanaye. You're boring me." Suki teased. She grabbed her bow and pulled the string back, playfully threatening to hit him with an arrow.

"Sis. I'm just not feelin' it today all right? Yesterday was different and I woulda felt like fighting you then but I swore dad I'd go out into the forest with him today."

Suki sighed.

"Yeah. Okay. I'll just do somethin' with Trinity."

She laid her bow down on a large rock and went inside.

Trinity had a basket in her arms that Sango had just given her.

"I want you to go to the village and pick up some vegetables for me." Sango told her.

Trinity smiled, her almond colored eyes turning to Suki.

"You coming with me?"

Suki grinned.

"Sure. Anything to get away from here. It's been a while since I've been to the village. Just let me change real quick."

Trinity nodded and waited while she changed into a nice kimono. Her other one was dirty.

"All right." She said.

"Be careful. Oh and Trinity. If you'd like, you can take my boomerang with you."

"Mother. I don't have that many hands. We'll be fine. Suki's got her bow."

Sango nodded as they disappeared outside.

Suki grabbed her bow and arrows off the rock again.

"Say, where is your mom anyway?" Trinity wondered.

"Back with grandma and uncle Sota for the week. She'll be back soon."

"Oh."

They reached the village after about 45 minutes of walking. It was about 3 miles away from the cabin.

"Hey Suke. When'd YOU fill out in all the right places?"

"Knock it off Taru." She snapped at the young adolescent.

She looked down at herself and thought about what he had said. It HAD been about a year since she'd last been to the village. She had become quite a bit curvier around the top and she had gotten taller and become more slender as well.

She shrugged.

Trinity kept herself from laughing. Suki was quite pretty and she was glad SHE wasn't the one being picked on. Sometimes she felt like knocking their blocks off. Suki was like an older sister to her and she didn't approve of their using her like that.

Trinity and Suki stopped by the village elder's hut to ask for permission to have some vegetables.

"My my. How nice to see you again Trinity. Oh and Suki, you've grown so much. You're quite a lady now."

Suki forced a smile. Why the sudden interest in her? Had she really changed that much?

They bowed to the elder and left to go out into the fields.

After about an hour, they were through handpicking the vegetables. Trinity's basket was full and almost overflowing.

They headed back.

"Hey hoyden. Why don't you just come over and kiss me?" one of the drunkards yelled out.

"Not on your life."

"Oh…really?" he threatened, trying to stand up but failing miserably and stumbling.

"Yeah." She got her bow ready but thought for a moment.

"You know. I would shoot you with this…but you're not worth my time…"

She sounded more like Inuyasha than herself. It was as if he was right there with her.

The man came closer, several times almost falling on his face.

"Idget." She stated plainly as she kicked him hard in the chest, causing him to tumble backward.

She put her hand to her chest.

"I'm so sorry. Did I do that?" she mocked.

"Oh yeah. And about that first comment. You called me a hoyden I believe."

Trinity gave a condoning nod.

"And I'm NOT bossy. Feh."

And that was it. Everyone was left in awe of her feistiness. How could she not be feisty? She WAS Inuyasha's one and only daughter after all.
