InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ My Story: A Human 'Tail' ❯ A Necklace ( Chapter 7 )

My Story: A Human `Tail'

Chapter 6- A Necklace

 

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha, nor will I ever.

 

A/N: Thanks for your reviews guys. I think I will make this an Inu/Kag fic, cause I got the most votes for that. Oh and just remember if you want to read the original version of the story, it is on Fiction Press. It's pretty much the same with original characters and stuff. Ok on with the Story!

 

 

It was sun-down by the time I reached home. Walking in the door I see Sango in the Kitchen running around trying to prepare dinner.

 

“How was your first day at the shop? Did you have fun? Well dinners on the table so come in” she smiled as she greets me.

 

I here voices talking in the dinning room, and give Sango a questioning look?

 

“Oh! The boys are back. I forgot you haven't met them yet.”

 

It's true. The day after Sango and her two boys found me, passed out on the beach, her husband, Miroku I think it was, and her two sons had gone on their annual hunting trip that they had planned weeks before my arrival. So it's just been me and Sango for the past two weeks.

 

I felt her hand nudge me into the room where there was a man, in his 20s or 30s, with black hair that was tied at the nape of his neck, fine but muscular build, tan skin (probably from working outside all day) and a handsome face, sitting at the table along with two younger boys who looked no older then 10.. They all looked up when we entered the room.

 

“Kagome, this is my husband Miroku, he's a local huntsman around here” She introduced.

 

“And these are my two sons, Kohaku and Shippo. Boys this is Kagome, last time you saw her she was barely conscious, so say hello boys.”

 

With that Miroku stood up, and walked over to me and stuck out his hand, while giving me a charming smile. I noticed that he stood a good 5 inches taller then me, but I reached out and shook his hand.

 

“Nice to meet you, Kagome was it? So sorry we weren't here to welcome you sooner, but…”

 

I cut him off

 

“It's nice to finally meet you too! And don't worry about it, I understand. Don't let me stand in the way of your normal activities.”

 

When we finished with introductions, Sango quickly ushered us all to the table where the kids sat, and we began to eat.

 

Looking up from my delicious meal, I notice that Sango is busy fussing over her husband, so I looked towards the boys.

 

“So how old are you two?”

 

Hey, I was curious. That and there was nothing else to talk about at the moment.

 

One of the boys, the older of the two I think, puffed out his chest and stated firmly,

 

“I'm Kohaku and I'm 12 years old”

 

Okay, so maybe he's older then 10. Who would have guessed, he was built more like his mother, with a smaller body, but hair like his father. I can tell that when this kid grows up he will have girls flocking all over him.

 

Looking away from him I turn to the other child. He seemed kind of shy; maybe I can get him to open up a bit. He actually looks nothing like either of his parents except he had his mother's eyes, and the face structure of his father. Every thing else was completely different. He had Bright red hair and was pretty small for his age. Maybe that's why he's so quiet, maybe he's picked on by the other kids. Ok, it's decided, I'll be his friend.

 

“What about you?” I questioned

 

He just stared at me. Okay maybe another approach.

 

“Are you going to talk to me?” oh I really wish he would.

 

He shook his head at me. I guess not.

 

“How about you just hold up your fingers”

 

He held up six fingers. Well at least it's an answer.

 

I sigh.

 

After that dinner was pretty uneventful. Once the kids were in bed, me Sango and Miroku all sat around the fire and talked. Miroku asked a lot of the same questions as Sango did when we first met, but I answered them all, keeping to the same story. Thinking back to my day at work, I decide to ask a few questions that have been on mind for a while.

 

“Do you think you could explain the currency here? Where I came from we didn't use these metal round things.”

 

They gave me questioning looks but answered anyways.

 

“Well to start the `metal round things' are called coins. There are four types though, Gold coins, Silver pieces, copper coins, and brass chips, now this is a Brass Chip…”

 

She held up a small thin brass coin.

 

“23 of these is equal to one copper coin”

 

Sango held up another one. It was Just as round, but a little thicker, and a tiny bit larger. Then she held up a larger coin, more silverish then the others.

 

“This is a Silver piece. One of these is worth 7 copper coins”

 

She held up the copper coin again, to make sure I got it. Which I think I did… Mostly.

 

“This last one is a Gold coin. 4 silver pieces make up a gold coin. And that's about it”

 

“Okay thanks. I have one other question though”

 

I really do. It's been on my mind for three days, so I might as well ask now. The looks on their faces told me to continue.

 

“Who or I should say what, Rules these lands? I mean where I come from we have a ruling family, who watches over the entire oc-LAND”

 

Whew! That was close. I almost let that slip. Fortunatly, neither Sango nor Miroku noticed my little slip up.

 

This time Miroku answered my question.

 

“Yes we do have a ruler. The lands in which we are in right now, also known as the kingdom of Canderri, is Rules by King InuTaisho, and his wife Queen Izayoi. They have three children their daughter Princess Rin, who was to be very beautiful from what I heard, and their son and heir Prince Sesshomaru, and Their second son Prince Inuyasha. He has visited this town a couple of times in the past, and I've only met him once, while I was off hunting. He seemed like a nice young fellow though.”

 

I guess that answers my questions. Just then his voice startled me out of my thoughts.

 

“Kagome, I hope I'm not probing too far into your life, but may I ask, is that your natural hair color?”

 

With that question his wife elbowed him and began muttering about rude husbands. I look in his eyes, but all I see is curiosity, so I decided to answer truthfully. It's not like they wouldn't find out any ways.

 

“Yes this is my true hair color. This is one of the reasons my family didn't except me back home. I was different.”

 

I see a look of sadness pass through both of their eyes, but then I see Sango's eyes light up, and I follow her gaze

 

“That's a beautiful necklace, did you make it?”

 

“Yes”

 

I really did. Around my neck is a necklace I had made when I was 7. It was made from the scales from my tail and teeth from a shark and was held together by a single thread of my hair.

 

You see, a mermaid's hair is very light, but very strong. If not, our hair wouldn't last very long in the water. Seeing her hopeful face I couldn't help but add

 

“Maybe I'll make one for you one day”

 

I see her face brighten more with excitement. She was practically glowing, and it made me happy. And maybe someday I really will make her one. It's the least I could do but there was only one problem with that. In order to get the necessary items I would have to go back into the one place I ran from.
