InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Huge Book of Fairy Tales...Sort of ❯ Diamonds and Toads...Sort of Part 1 ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
AN: Helloooooooooo. Ok to those who are reading my other story I’m so sorry about not updating. Writer’s block hit me again, and I through maybe if I take a break from that story maybe my writer’s block with go away and leave me with a few new ideas. And no I am not giving up on that story, alright?
Anyway what this fanfic is about is me taking a bunch of fairy tales and rewriting them with the Inuyasha gang. And that’s pretty much it. Hope you enjoy the first one.
Oh yeah, right now this fic is rated M/R because I’m thinking of putting a few lemons in here. Not in all stories but a couple at least.

Disclaimer- I don’t own Inuyasha or ‘Diamonds and Toads’ ok? But I do own all the bug bites that are covering my body. Yay.

‘’ -that means Kagome’s mocking her aunt in a really high pitched voice, or Inuyasha is mocking Kagome in a high pitched voice.

~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~< >~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~<>~
Once upon a time, I mentally sighed as I tried to block out my aunt Yura’s complaining.
‘Kagomeeeeee you didn’t clean this floor right!’
‘Kagomeeeeeeee I want to see my face shine in that plate when you’re done with it!’
‘Kagomeeeeeeeee hurry up and finish washing my dress!’
‘Kagomeeeeeeeeee why can’t you be more like Kikyo?’
‘Kagome blah blah blah!’
“-are you listening to me Kagome?”
I blinked as Yura’s voice brought me back to my kitchen table, just finishing my lunch where she makes me eat everyday.
“Oh, sorry I wasn’t listening. What do you want?” I asked, not really caring.
She clenched her teeth and tried to control her anger.
“See Kagome, this is why you will never be like your lovely cousin Kikyo! You never listen to me or act grateful for what I’ve done for you! I could have thrown you out into the street when your father died, but out of the kindness of my heart I kept you here!”
“Really? I thought you kept me because you wanted someone to clean your house without paying for servants.” I replied back dryly.
“Oh you horrible child!” She drew back her hand and slapped me hard across the face. She hit me so hard I flew out of my seat and hit the floor. I let out a low moan when my cheek started to throb. That’s going to leave a mark later. She threw a bucket at me.
“Like I was trying to tell you before, go get some water from the well at the top of the hill, and hurry up!”
She turned sharply and would have made a nice exit if her short skirt hadn’t wrapped around her thighs so tight, that it ripped all the way to her hip when she took a step. She turned red and ran out of the room, but sent me a look that promised punishment later when she heard me laughing. I stood up and grabbed the bucket she had thrown at me, walking toward the back door.
I never really understood why Yura hated me, I think it’s because I look so much like my mother, and she hated her sister more than anything else. My father never remarried after my mother died, so when he died everything he ever owned went to Yura about three years ago. I have no other family or anywhere else to go, so when Yura asked if I wanted to stay here I had no choice but to agree, even through I knew she would make me work like a servant and treat me badly. So for three years I’ve done every single task Yura’s demanded of me, with little complaint, because if I did complain she would throw me out. And Yura’s not so cheap she would let a girl who’s cuter than her or her daughter complain and disobey them everyday.
What can I say, I can be very annoying when I want to be.
One of the things she makes me do is walk twice a day to this well that’s one and half miles from her house, uphill. But there’s one bright spot in this whole walking thing.
Inuyasha.
Inuyasha says he’s a hunter, or so he claims. I met him when Yura threw me out of the house for the night after I complained about all the work she and Kikyo was making me do.

***Flashback, 3 years ago***

“But Aunt Yura! I’m so tired, I don’t think I can work anymore today. Can it wait till tomorrow?” I begged Yura. It was about a month after dad died, I was still upset about that and ever since I decided to stay with my aunt she had worked me non stop. I had never worked so much in my life, my bones were achy, my head hurt because I wasn’t getting as much sleep as I use to, and now Yura wanted me to clean the entire kitchen floor with this tiny little brush because the bigger one was ‘lost’. Kami, all I wanted was some peace, was that to much to ask?
Yura’s eyes widened and she slapped me hard across my face, threw me to the ground kicked my stomach and started to drag me outside.
“You ungrateful bitch! I ask you to do one simple thing and all you can do is complain, complain, complain! I’ll show you missy, if you’re so tired I bet it’s nice and quiet out in the woods!”
She dragged me out to the edge of our property, and threw me outside the gate where the forest was.
“You can spent the night out here tonight! If I even see you get within 50 yards of this gate I’ll beat you and send you out to live in the streets! Now go!” She pointed toward the woods and I slowly started to walk into the forest. I walked deeper and deeper into the forest, getting more scared every step of the way. As a child, my father had warned me against even stepping near the woods, he said that blood thirsty youkai lived there who love to eat small children up. Even through I was 13 and not a child anymore I was still scared that there were youkai out there who would love to eat teenagers just as much as younger children. I found a tree to lean against and slowly sat down, trying to calm down and go to sleep. My eyes started to close but they snapped back open when I heard a small grunt coming from in front of me.
A huge bear was there, it was big, brown, and had snarling yellow teeth and crazed red eyes. I gulped and tried to stay as still as possible. It didn’t work and the bear started to run straight at me. I felt my eyes go big and I scrambled to get up and run but my kimono had gotten caught on a stick and wouldn’t untangle for anything. I pulled and tugged and tried to rip it but it stayed stubbornly wrapped around the branch. The bear had gotten closer while I was trying to unravel my kimono, now it was so close I could see his claws were yellow and sharp as knives.
And stained with blood.
He rose up on his hind legs, gave a roar while I screamed as loud as I could, his claw came flying towards my head, and I closed my eyes, waiting for the end.
And it never came.
Instead I heard a voice sigh, as if annoyed and growled out,
“You can open your eyes, you’re safe now wench.”
I slowly opened my eyes and they widened at the sight in front of me. The bear which had been about to kill me, was spilt in two, blood was everywhere,
And there was this hot silver haired boy standing in front of me, flexing his now bloody claws.
I swallowed as I looked at him more closely. He couldn’t be more than 15, about two years old than me. He had long beautiful silver hair that gleamed in the moonlight, amber eyes, and a wicked grin. I was looking so closely at him I didn’t even notice he was talking until he waved his hand in front of me.
“Yo bitch, you alright or did that bear hit your head?”
I blinked. “Oh. No I’m ok. I think.”
“You sure? Looks you got a bruise from the old fucker.”
I blushed and brought my hand up to my cheek where it was starting to bruise.
“No, that’s from something else. How can you see that?”
He bent his head toward me and I finally noticed his ears.
Which were laying on top of his head and in the form of dog ears.
And which were so cute!
“I’m a hanyou incase you haven’t noticed wench. What are you doing out here so late?”
“Got kicked out for the night.”
“And you came to sleep in the forest? That was stupid.”
“I didn’t have much of a choice! And why are you so special that you can sleep here?”
“As you can see by the bear in front of you, I can take care of myself.” He raised a eyebrow when my stomach started to growl loud enough for him to hear it and I felt my face go red .
“Missed dinner?”
“Shut up.”
He laughed. “Might as well bring you to my camp. If your stomach gets any louder, you’ll attract more animals and I don’t want to stay here all night.”
“Hahaha you’re so funny.” I said and turned around again to try and untangle my kimono from the branch. The boy leaned over and chuckled.
“So that’s why you didn’t run away? You got caught on the tree, wench?”
I scowled at him, yanking harder, “Hey I’m sure it’s happened to other people! And stop calling me wench, I have a name.”
“Which I can’t use because I don’t know it.”
“It’s Kagome. And your’s is?”
He grabbed the end of the kimono and gently unraveled it from the branch. He put his mouth a hairs inch away from my ear and with his breath hot against my throat whispered,
“Inuyasha.”

***End Flashback***

So Inuyasha took me to his camp (basically just a area where he built a fire and had cooked some meat) fed me, and in the morning brought me back home. And after awhile, after I thought I would never see him again, he started walking me at least half way to the well every other day. He became my best friend and when I turned fifteen last year I fell in love with him. Not that he knows this of course. I’m not pretty enough to be Inuyasha’s wife, he’s almost a god, and he deserves someone better than a orphan forced into becoming a pay less servant.
I tried to walk faster to the well, as soon as I get some water the sooner I stop walking uphill.
“Hey Kagome.” I grinned and turned around to watch Inuyasha stride out of the edge of the forest that was close to the road with a couple of hares slung over his back.
“Hey Yash, haven’t seen you for awhile. Where you been?”
“Oh, around.” He said vaguely. I waited for him to catch up and started walking up the hill again. Only thing I hate about Yash, he’s so secretive. I’m lucky I got his name and what he does out of him. Oh well, I’m just happy he hangs around still, after three years you’d think he’d get tired of me.
We talked for awhile but about half way through he noticed I was getting tired.
“Hey Kagome, you alright wench?”
“Stop calling me that and I’m fine.”
He snorted and swung me up, totally ignoring my protests.
“I can’t stay long today but I can at least give you a lift to the top.” he started to run really fast and in less than a minute we were there.
He put me down, and was about to leave but he glanced at my cheek and his mouth tightened. He slowly ran a hand over the bruise beginning to form.
“That slut hit you again?”
I sighed. “Yes.”
He swore and bent his head down close to mine. I froze in shock when I felt his tongue running gently over my cheek.
“Inuyasha what are you doing!” I snapped and pushed him away. “You know Yura will only put more bruises on me if you try to get rid of them.” Sorry, forget to mention Inuyasha is a dog demon so his saliva has a healing agent in it.
He swore and his ears flicked in annoyance.
“Damn it, don’t remind me. I’ll see you later Kags.” He ran a hand over my hair tenderly but before I could saw anything he ran away faster than I could blink.
I shook my head, trying to clear my head of him and walked over to the well. As I got closer I saw this little old woman who was sitting slumped against the well. I gasped and rushed over, worried that she was hurt.
“Ma’am, are you alright?” I asked, gently shaking her.
“Water, please.” She croaked out.
“Oh, of course.”
I quickly slipped my bucket under the water and help the bucket while the old woman drink greedily. She was full of wrinkles, had a eye patch, and was wearing miko’s clothes.
“Are you very far from your village priestess?” She finished up the water with a loud gulp and looked at me, smiling gently.
“My child, ye are smart, as well as beautiful and kind. I hope ye don’t mind, but I can’t help giving ye a gift. Your gift shall be that every word that ye shall speak, a jewel or a flower will fall out of your mouth.”
“Oh thank you priestess but I couldn’t-“ I stopped, shocked as I saw two pearls, one opal, and three roses fall out of my mouth.
The priestess merely smiled, and disappeared.

AN: Yay, the end of part one.
OK I know I probably said this before but I’m saying it again, I’m thinking about getting a beta. My spelling sucks and no matter how much I beg my friends, they won’t read my story, and because I’ve been told to get a beta a lot I’m thinking about getting one. Anyone interested?
