InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Strange Desires ❯ Chapter One – A Grandfathers Death, and a Fathers Gain ( Chapter 1 )

Strange Desires

- [AU] Rin and Kagome live in ancient Egypt and are the prized daughters of Rameses II. So what happens when two strangers from a land to the west come and claim their hearts? -

Author's note: FINALLY! I am doing an InuYasha fiction about the Egyptian times, that's the subject I am the best in, so anyway the time lines are kind of off, I know the Sengoku Jidai was 1482 to 1558 BC, the only problem is Rameses was ruling in 1304 until 1237 BC. So the times are a little off. Oh well, just sit back and read my fic.

Chapter One - A Grandfathers Death, and a Fathers Gain

*

I sit here and wonder…

Wonder when I will find someone to love…

Someone to show love to…

My father treats me like I am the goddess Bast…

I love my father, but he couldn't love me the way I wish to be love…

Kagome pulled her linked pen up from her parchment and stared at the small book. It held her thoughts and dreams. She closed the book, pulling it from the wooden table, she walked over to her stoned wall and pulled a single brick from the mighty wall and placed the book inside, closing it off by placing the brick back. She walked over to her large bed and collapsed. She was tired and saddened.

Kagome was one of the many children born of the great Pharaoh Rameses, her father had many wives he had 8, but she was born from Nefertari along with her sister Rin. Nefertari was the wife that most beloved by her father, she never knew his other wives. Although her attitude did not reflect that she was a daughter of Nefertari, like her sister, although she looked like her mother. Long black locks and a small but developed body. Her body was almost perfect, an hour glassed shape and a large, yet small bust. Her eyes reflected a grey and blue tint. Kagome was the oldest, at the age of 16, the age were she should have a husband.

Kagome looked about her large room. It was full of dark wooded book shelves, containing scrolls of other languages and new regions which her father had brought back to her. Her floors were covered with the skins of wild tigers and animals that she had killed when hunting with her father. Although she resented killing those beautiful creatures she wouldn't let their corpses rot out in the sun. She had a small desk; her chambermaid had made it for her, as a 16th birthday present. It had taken her only 2 weeks to make it, but Kagome loved that she had made it on her own time, just for her. Kagome looked down at her bed. It was large, and could fit 4 or more people in it. The sheets were made of silk and were a deep purple, lined with golden beads. A pattern of fine threads made out a picture of the cat goddess Bast, whom Kagome had mostly worshiped. Her pillows were soft and comfortable because they were made with goose feathers.

Kagome allowed her eyes to drop as she slowly shifted into a deep sleep, feeling the beads, wrapped in her locks fall onto her soft cheek.

Kagome heard the sound of someone banging their fists against her bedroom door. She glanced around, and grabbed her small dagger, she held onto it tightly in her left hand, she stood up not caring that she was topless, her hair was long and straight enough to cover her chest. She creped slowly up to her door, her long silky dress dragging behind her feet. Kagome pulled her hand and grasped the door handle, she pulled back opening it and pulled her dagger over head and back. She saw hands wave out in front of her face.

"Lady Kagome! Please do not strike!" she heard a voice. Kagome looked to see her old friend Miroku, he was tall and handsome. His deep violet eyes and luring voice would make you think he was a gentleman, how wrong people were. Miroku was a monk that traveled from a land to the west, he came to seek refuge from some suamari that had sought his head, above all the trouble he had caused he was a good man. She pleaded with her father to allow him to stay in the palace. Kagome was ready to have Miroku removed from the palace, later on when she discovered he was a lecherous perverted man, which loved to grabbed unsuspecting woman's bosoms and lower regions. Later on the young man proved his value. See this wonk was cursed by a man unknown to this region with an air void that would soon consume his body, sorting his life span. Kagome took pity on him for that, so all was forgiven, but when he later asked her to have sexual intercourse with him… Kagome had him sent to the dungeons for a matter of 3 days.

"Miroku, why do you call upon me at this hour?" she asked. Kagome knew Miroku liked to talk and have some company, but about 4 hours after the sun had set? Miroku looked worried.

"It is your grandfather, Rameses has asked that you, your mother and Rin come to his chambers and say your farewells before he passes on to meet the god Anubis."

Kagome dropped her dagger to ground as her eyes widened in shock. She knew of her grandfather Seti was ill, but she didn't expect his death so soon. Kagome was heart broken; she looked from side to side, pulling her arms over her chest, pushing her breast up from under locks. Miroku for once put aside his perverted thought about the beautiful woman in front of him and embraced her in a hug. Kagome allowed a few tears to snake down her eyes, making her markings on her face run. Miroku rubbed her back, also smudging her symbols which were meant to keep her from harm and bless her. She pushed back rubbing her nose. She looked up pushing her hair behind her ears.

"He's waiting for you milady, and before you deiced to go and see him, I think you might want to cover your breast with something other then your hair," he said smirking. Kagome looked down at her exposed chest, and then glared at him.

"You can't forget those thoughts not even for a second, can you oh priest?" Kagome asked. She turned away, and slammed her door. Kagome walked up to her large cabinet. She pulled out a silk piece of cloth with golden beading, and black thread woven into it. She tied it around her bust and knotted it at the side. She then pulled a long night gown out from her cabinet; she fixed her hair and allowed the beads to fall forward. She then walked over to her table and pulled out a pendant. Her grandfather had given it to her as a gift. It was a gold Bast carved out; the eyes were done with sapphires, and on the back were ancient hieroglyphs that even she couldn't translate. Kagome glided out the door picking up her fallen dagger, and headed to her fathers chambers.

Kagome heard the worst sound, her grandfather was hacking out coughs and he was breathing heavily. Kagome pushed open the chamber doors to see her mother and Rin hugging each other tightly. Her younger sister only at the age of 14 had never seen death. Her father kneeled next to the bed, her grandfather was tightly wrapped in the warm blankets, and he was holding a handkerchief to his mouth as he hacked out another cough, only he drew out blood. Kagome pulled her hand to her mouth. Her father turned to her, and held out a hand.

"Come Kagome, bid him farewell…" he said softly. Kagome reached out and grasped her fathers hand and pulled in close. She then kneeled beside her grandfather. Kagome placed her hand on his shoulder and gripped it allowing him to know someone was near. Her grandfather turned his head to her, his eyes were dulling as his lips grew small.

"Kagome…" he wheezed out. Kagome smiled as ears gripped at the edge of her eyes.

"I'm here grandfather," she said softly.

"Kagome do not cry for my loss…" he said softly, her grandfather tried to smile, but it was too much for him.

"Why do the gods not spare you, why do you not ask Osiris to spare your soul and body, after everything you have done to keep his temple holy?!" Kagome asked.

"Kagome, you do not know how many years this body has seen, what has happened…" he inhaled deeply, "I have live a long life, I have seen my children grow and their wives and my daughters give birth to beautiful children such as your self and Rin…" He coughed again. "I have lived a life of happiness"

Kagome allowed more tears to go down her face, her salt waters mixed in with her painted markings and dripped down onto the sheets below her. Her grandfather took her hand.

"Kagome…"

"Yes," she said shakily. Her grandfather took in one last breath.

"'nh ir dt" - Live, now, forever - her grandfather closed his eyes. Kagome sobbed and she placed her head onto the silk bed sheet. Rin and her mother dropped to their knees and held onto each other tightly, crying for their loss. Rameses stood up. He looked down onto his father. He inhaled and touched his daughters shoulder lightly. Kagome looked back at her father and nodded. She then looked back to her grandfather, she whispered something into his ear and then kissed his cold cheek. Kagome stood up and hugged her father. Rameses placed his hand onto his daughters head and allowed her to bury herself into his chest. A chambermaid which stood watch, stepped out to Rameses.

"Upon your fathers passing, Rameses you are the new Pharaoh…" she said softly, and bowed. Rameses looked at the maid. Kagome sniffed as she too pulled back and bowed then Rin, then her mother. Rameses looked down upon his family and the maid.

"So it seems…"
