InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Snow White and the Seven 'Dwarfs'...Sort of ❯ Running From Freaks ( Chapter 8 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

AN: Yay another chapter, I'm just rolling them out today. I'm not sure but this may be my last chapter until I can get to another computer so I hope you enjoy it! Maybe I'll get lucky through and I can write another one after this. I'll see how long it takes me. Any way since no one has reviewed yet the results for the Kouga pairing are still,
Ayame- 4
Kagura- 0
 
God why do you people like Ayame so much? She's all right and that thing she can do with the leaves is cool, but Kagura is so much cooler. She controls the wind! Now what would you rather have, the power to control the wind, or the power to control… leaves. I want more people for Kagura! Ok I'll shut up now. Here's the chapter, hope you like it. Enjoy!
 
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, his friends or his enemies. Do you think I can own Sess's tail through? If I can't have that can I at least have Kouga's tail?
 
`'- That's when Inuyasha's little voice inside his talks or when someone else thinks.
 
 
I slowly woke up, yawning and rolling over onto my back in bed as I did. I placed my hands behind my head and listened to the sounds of the morning for a while.
Total silence.
There wasn't any Bitch ordering me around yet, no freaks watching me with lustful eyes, and no running away from dog demons and a monk yet. No worries until I really start to think and everything hits me at once. But I wasn't going to do that. I was just going to lay here, with the blanket and mattress warm from my body heat covering me, the darkness in my room wrapping around me like a comforting black velvet cocoon, and in silence.
Undemanding, comforting silence.
“Kagome!”
I groaned.
`Just when I was thinking of going back to sleep. Stupid Bitch.'
I rolled out of bed and wrapped the blanket around me walking to the door. I opened it to find Kikyo standing there,
“Can't you do anything by yourself or do you need me to do everything for you?”
She snarled and hit me hard across the face where my bruise was. I didn't make a word, just waited for her to speak. Another thing I like to do to her. Whenever she hits me I never say a word or make a sound. She hates that more than the insults. She got angrier when I didn't say anything but didn't try to hit me again.
“After you're done serving Lady Kagura, I want you to escort her down to the dining hall where we will be having breakfast, but you are not allowed to come in. After you bring her to the hall, clean everyone's room, and water the plants in all the gardens. Then wash the windows on the third floor, with lemon in the water, fill all the pitchers in the guest's bedrooms, bring tea and such to the gardens around 1:00, but do not stay there, and clean the fountain out. Someone got drunk last night and made a mess there. Then if you're good you can have dinner. Get to it now.”
She turned and walked away as I sighed and closed the door. I'm never going to finish all that in time for dinner. I changed, made my bed, and slipped my sandals on. That was one of the only good things about having such a small room; you never have to clean it up because you can't fit anything in it. I hurried down to the well where I got water for Mayu, and got another apple in return. I raced over to Kagura's room, helped her get up and dressed, brought her down to the dining hall, and raced back to her room to clean it up. Kagura's pretty neat so I don't have to clean much, but I was waiting until I could make sure the guys were out of their rooms. I made her bed, put away her nightgown for her, sweep the balcony clean of leaves, and placed a lot of caramels on her pillow. She loves them and eats five a minute. I carefully walked over to the boy's hall but was glad to see no one was there. I went in, made the beds, placed a bunch of caramels on their pillows and got out as soon as I could. I didn't want to be there incase one of them decided to come back early. I slowed down my pace a little when I got to the gardens, because I love being near all those flowers and take my time when I have to water them. I grabbed the watering can and started to spray the roses and lilies down with water. I was half surprised that I hadn't seen any of the guys yet. Oh well, as long as they stay away from me, I could care less. I was watering the lavender and star lily plants when I saw Miroku walking around the gardens.
`Kami help me.'
I slouched and hid my face with my hair; if he did see me he wouldn't be able to see my face. He stood close to me looking over the garden and the view. I finished watering the lavender and moved on to the daffodils, which was farther from him, but he was still pretty close to me.
“It's beautiful here.”
`Kami, why did he have to talk to me?'
“Yes, it is my lord.” I said quietly, making my voice sound lower then it was.
“Did you create the gardens yourself?”
“No my lord, I only water them.”
I finished watering the daffodils and went on to the violets, hoping he wouldn't talk to me anymore.
“Is that all you do, water plants?”
“No my lord I do other things to.”
`Please don't call me lord; I hate it when people call me that. It makes me sound so old and stuffy. Call me Miroku.”
“Yes Lord Miroku.”
“So what do you do here -?”
“I take care of the plants. That's pretty much it.” I knew he wanted my name but I didn't give it to him, keeping my hair hiding my face.
He came closer to me and I moved over to water the next plant, aloe. I finished and started to leave to go farther down the gardens.
“If you excuse me, Lord Miroku.”
I turned my back on him and started to walk away but he stopped me with a hand on my shoulder.
“Why do you cover your face with your hair?”
`Oh shit what am I supposed to say?'
“I have bad eyes, Lord Miroku, to much light will make them tear and burr up.”
“I'm sorry to hear that -?” he left off again at the end of his sentence waiting for me to tell him my name.
“Thank you, good day Lord Miroku.”
I tried to walk again but he hadn't let go of my shoulder yet.
“What did you say you're name was?”
I tugged myself out of his grasp and started to walk
“I didn't.”
“Please?” he asked, walking behind me
“Please what?” I asked, playing stupid.
“Please tell me your name.”
`Great now I have to come up with a name.'
I looked around without letting my hair back until I saw the lilies.
“My names Lily.”
“Lovely name.”
“Thank you Lord Mirokkkkuuuuu!”
I shouted the end of his name when his hand came in contact of my butt.
“HENTAIL!!!!”
I slapped him hard enough for him to fall back and ran before he could get out of is daze and start looking for me. I threw the watering can back where it had been, still running until I reached the well. I calmed down somewhat then, grabbed some water from the well, ran down to the kitchen to get a rag and lemon. I squeezed the lemon juice into the water and went up to the third floor to wash the windows. I got lemon in my cuts which made them bleed and sting again, but most of my cuts had healed, so it wasn't as bad yesterday when I had done it.
`Was it really only yesterday, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sesshourmaru came here?'
I shook my head, clearing it. I had chores to do; it was hardly the time for that. I checked the sun; it was about to be 1:00 in like, 15 minutes so I rushed down to the kitchen to grab the tea and little cakes Kikyo loved so much to bring down to the garden. I set the cups and plates up on the table Kikyo had someone set out and left as soon as I could. I took some more water from the well to fill the pitchers in the guest's room. So I filled Kagura's, then the other two's room and when into the red room to fill the last one. As I was going for through the door I saw a piece of paper on the door. I stopped and read it even through it probably wasn't any of my business.
Dear Servant who cleaned my room-
I want more of that caramel stuff.
From Inuyasha
I smiled and went to take the paper down from the door. I grasped it and pulled it to get it off. There was a small explosion that threw me across the room. I got up and looked down at the paper and my hand. Both were black and the paper had been ripped down the middle where the other half was still stuck to the door.
`What the hell happened? I don't think I wanna know.'
I shakily stood up to my feet; the paper stuck clutched in my fist and walked out to where I kept the caramel. I grabbed ten or twenty, walked back into Inuyasha's room and throw them down on his bed. I went up to the first lit candle I saw and burn the paper. Just to be safe. Now to clean that fountain.
 
Me and Sess where sitting out in the garden waiting for Miroku to show up so we could go together to Kikyo's little tea party. I don't know why I have to go, but Sess says it will look better if we go as a whole. Whatever that means.
“Hey Sess?”
“What?”
“Nothing”
“Sess?”
“What now?”
“Oh, nothing.
“Inuyasha.” He said warning at me.
“What?” I sent an innocent look at him. He growled in annoyance and went back to reading whatever he had been reading.
“Hey Sess?”
“Now what do you want?”
“Nothing.”
“Inuyasha! If you do that one more time-“ he was interpreted when Miroku showed up with a goofy look on his face.
“Hey guys.”
I looked at him sharply,
“You grope someone?”
He nodded happily. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
“Who did you grope this time monk?”
“I don't know, there was this servant in the garden who was watering the plants and I started talking with her. She said her name was Lily but I think she was lying. I tried really hard not to but I had to grope her, my hand couldn't be denied, so she slapped me and ran.”
I was about to give him some smart-ass remark on why she ran when I smelled something.
It was her scent.
I rushed over and slapped his palm into my nose and took a deep breath. Yeah Miroku had been with the girl we were looking for.
“You moron you were right near that girl!”
He blinked. “The one we've been looking for?”
“No the rice ball girl, of course that girl you idiot! And you let her get away!!” I yelled at him. Sess got up and sniffed Miroku's hand to.
“Tell me everything you can about this girl Miroku.”
“There's not much. Her hair was hiding her face so I don't even know what she looks like.”
I groaned. So close to getting her and the monk had to screw it up!
“My lords, tea is about to be served.” A maid came and told them. We went into the clearing where Kikyo and Kagura were waiting for us. Kagura was nice, I met her this morning but she lied a lot. Wonder what she's hiding. Oh well. I tried really hard to keep track of what everyone was talking about but I couldn't pay attention. That girl's scent was all over the place, the tea and the food.
 
*** Later***
“Kami was that boring!” I moaned as we started back to my room.
“Are we going to have to do that again?” I asked Sess. He shrugged.
“Maybe not everyday but yes we will.”
I whimpered. Kikyo creeps me out. First she's trying to seduce my brother right there in front of us, and when he refuses she turns to me. Kami that's something I never want to experience again, her trying to seduce me. I shuddered at the through of having sex with her. It's not like I haven't had sex before, come on, I'm 18 and brother to Lord Sesshourmaru, King of the Western Lands, of course I'm going to take some of the women that throw themselves at me. But I can't have sex with Kikyo she's so cold and hard, worse then my brother. Whenever I have sex, I like it being with a warm, real, breathing person, not with the glacier Kikyo is. So we got to my room and I saw that the servant left more caramel.
“Yes! I love this stuff.”
I saw Sess and Miroku look at me in shock. I pulled the caramels closer to me and growled at them, “Mine”
Sess rolled his eyes at me while Miroku went on to talk to me in a voice you would use for some little kid.
“Inuyasha, if you have more caramel, how is it, that the servant isn't stuck to the door?”
He asked pointing to the door where there was just a little scarp of paper laying on it. I blinked at the door, my caramels still held tight against my chest.
“I thought the plan was that once she tried to take the paper down she would get stuck to the door.”
“Well, yeah that was how it was supposed to work.”
“So then why isn't she there?” my voice surprising calm. He sighed
“Well there's really only one way for her to have gotten out of that trap.” He wandered over to examine what was left of the note. “She's a very powerful miko, but she doesn't know or she's untrained. It looks like both from the way she left the note. A trained miko could have gotten rid of the note so the whole thing would have come off. But what she did was pure luck so she left some of the note behind.”
I groaned. Great, just great.
“Can you make a powerful enough barrier to contain her?” Sess asked him. He shook his head.
“No she's far to strong.”
“Fine, in the morning Inuyasha will come will me and we'll comb the entire castle for her. Now we have to find her. Whoever she is, it's too dangerous to let an untrained miko wander around. She might know something about Kagome and the late king.”
Miroku looked at him, “Why should she worry about the old king? He's been dead of sickness for the last four years.”
Sess sighed and cursed himself for the slip of tongue. He gestured to the chairs in front of them.
“Sit down, we have to talk.”
 
 
`Finally that's done. Kami that was gross.'
I wiped my forehead with the back of my arm tired beyond belief. When Kikyo said I had to clean the fountain up she never mentioned how bad it was. This guy must of had a lot of sake, because the water and the fountain was covered in puke. That was a lot of fun cleaning up. I dragged myself to the kitchen and sat on the counter with Mayu as I usually do.
“Hey Mayu” I said tiredly and yawned. “I didn't get in any trouble with Kikyo, can I have my dinner in my room, just give me some bread, I'll be fine.”
She looked concerned at me
”Of course hon, here take some soup and some rice balls.” She made up a little platter for me and told me to go straight to bed.
“Uh huh.” I kissed her on the cheek, took my food and left. I walked up to my room slowly, too tired to go faster, got in my room, ate, changed and fell into a deep sleep.
 
 
I quietly walked down the halls of the castle, careful not to wake anyone up. I took another careful sniff and went right, closer to the servant's quarters. Miroku was right about something, the girl was a servant. I walked faster as I picked up on her scent again.
`I'm closer.'
I walked until I came to this door at the very end of the hall, where the girl's scent was really strong. I slowly opened the door and looked in. Her back was turned to me, and all I could see was the back of her head. I saw her under the thin blanket and on top of the even thinner mattress and felt my demon pushing at the edges of my mind, wanting to kill Kikyo for what she made this girl suffer by. I pushed the demon down, trying to figure out why I suddenly felt…protective toward this girl. I rolled my eyes and tried to walk into the room but the girl mumbled something in her sleep and threw her arm back. A blue light came out through her hand and slammed me back into the wall as her door swung shut. Well there's another thing Miroku's right about. She's a miko. Untrained and unaware of her powers but she's a powerful one.
`How are we going to get her?' I asked myself as I walked back to my room.
 
***Next Morning****
 
“Kagome!”
I sighed and got out of bed, wrapping the blanket around me, wondering how Kikyo managed to get up every morning if all she did was have sex with Naraku. You know, now that I think about it, I don't think I wanna know. I opened the door and faced Kikyo. She had a cup of hot tea and a funny look on her face.
“Good morning Kagome.” She said pleasantly. I raised my eyebrows at her and leaned against the doorframe.
“Somebody spike your drink or something Kikyo?”
She calmly threw her hot tea at me. I tried really hard to stay quiet, just I let out a small groan of pain when the scolding hot tea hit my throat and unbound breasts.
`It's going to be such a bitch to bind them later now.'
“I'm going to be out of the castle for a few hours today-“
“Fucking some out of town lord who can't come here right now Kikyo?”
She took her nails, which looked like claws, and slashed them hard against my cheek. I felt blood run down from the cut but didn't do anything to stop it.
“As I was saying, I need you to clean the top floor entirely today. You do not need to worry about anything else, just dust, wash, and clean the top floor.”
She turned back around and left me staring after her with a shocked look to my face.
`Oh my Kami, hell has frozen over. She actually didn't call me some sort of insult. '
I went back in my room, wiped the blood off my cheek, tried as best I could to bind my poor burn breasts, and changed into my uniform while I tried to figure out what she was up to. I got water for Mayu and started to walk up the steps to the top floor. I was washing the windows when I saw Kikyo leave in her carriage.
`Wow she really did leave.'
I was about to start dusting, but I couldn't find the stupid rag. So I sighed and climbed back down the stairs to grab another rag. I finally climbed back up and had gotten to the top floor when I saw Naraku standing in front of me, panting.
`Nice going moron, if you were paying attention you would have seen him, and you could have hidden out until he left!'
“Can I help you will something my lord?” I asked. He nodded slowly.
“Yeah there is something you can help me with.”
I got this funny feeling in my gut, and I started to get nervous.
`Move girl!'
He jumped at me, wanted to grab me, but I grabbed the bucket of lemon water and poured it into his face, making sure it hit his eyes.
“AHHHH YOU STUIPD BITCH!!”
While he was moaning in pain over his eyes, I grabbed my rag, put it on the railing, jumped on and started to fly down the railing. I know I'd never be able to out run him, but maybe if I got to the secret passage on the second floor I might be able to lose him.
“GET BACK HERE BITCH!!”
I leaned more forward, trying to get down faster.
`Please Kami let me make it'
 
*** First Floor***
 
“That was a really nice breakfast since Kikyo wasn't around.” Miroku cheerfully said.
“Yeah it actually was.” I said agreeing with him.
“Let's get back to Yash's room and come up with a plan to catch this girl.”
“GET BACK HERE BITCH!”
We looked at each other in alarm and raced up the stairs.
 
***Kagome***
 
I reached the third floor and heard feet pounding up the stairs but right then I could care less if the angel of death was coming up those stairs, I was concerned about how I was going to get away from the freak. I got to the second floor, jumped off, hitting my ankle against the floor painfully and pressed the button in the wall when I heard someone call out, “IT'S HER!”
I didn't pay any attention to them, and ran through the door, closing it behind me as Naraku screamed,
“WHERE DID YOU GO BITCH?”
I ran faster down the dark path, even through I knew it was too dangerous to. I heard Naraku's voice again and did the stupidest thing I could have done.
I looked back.
I felt something crumble underneath me and I screamed as I fell.
 
 
AN: Okay I think that's going to be my last chapter for this month but I think I might b e able to fit another in before I have to leave. Not sure through.
 
InuyashaLoveLorn- The Thunder Brother you're thinking of is Hiten, and I was thinking about using him, but I have no idea how to fit him the story. They would make a really great team if you think about it. She can control wind; he has the thunder or lighting rod, whatever it was called. They could totally kick Kikyo's/Naraku's ass together! And see, I am kind of drawing out when they find her because they do see her, but she just falls down a hole instead of meeting them. I can't wait till they do through!
 
See ya when I see ya if I don't write again till next month and thanks for reading my story this long. Don't forget to review ok? Later.
