"Ohhhhhh, it's sooooo cute!" Exclaimed Arai, "I'll take
it!"
She picked up the little pup in her hands and gave
the pet shop owner the money."I think I'll name you Sashoubou, it means little
one," the little pup gave a yip of delight, "Come on Sashoubou, let's go get you
some toys."
She headed up the street, with the little
pup bouncing along happily.
"You want this toy?" The puppy yiped, and Arai took that as a 'yes', "Ok,"
she added it to the small pile of toys, and handed the shop owner some gold,
"now, let's go get some food, and maybe some sweets."
They walked
along the street looking at booths for food, when, "Arai! Arai! Over here!"
It
was Miroku, -Hentai baka- thought Arai shaking her head.
"Hey, Miroku."
"I
got a new shipment, want to see?" questioned Miroku.
"Sure," Arai knew what
kind of things Miroku would be likely to get in a new shipment and was kinda
interested to find out what he had got.
Arai followed him over to his booth,
where he opened a box and took out a small sphere wraped in tin foil.
"Would
you like to sample it?"
"Oh, yes, please," Arai said, almost ancsusly.
Miroku handed Arai a small piece of chocalote that looked like a slice of
orange. She took a small bite.
"Mmmm, this is delicious Miroku,
American?" She said eating the rest of her small piece of chocolate.
"Yes,
just arrived this morning."
"I'll take a box of these, along with a box of
truffles, oh, and a box of donuts, Sashoubou can't have chocolate."
"Sashoubou?" Asked Miroku.
"Yeah," said Arai jesturing to the small bouncing
inu next to her.
"Ohhh, he's so adorable, did you just get him?"
"Yeah,
earlier this morning. He's only five months old."
"That's young," Miroku said
handing Arai the boxes of sweets.
"Yeah, but now I have to go, I have more
shoping to do, and I have to be home by eight," she took the boxes of sweets and
handed Miroku a handful of gold.
"Why do you have to be home by eight?" he
said as he accepted the gold and added it to his money pouch.
"I have a
costomer coming. Well, see you later."
"Bye," Miroku waved good-bye as she
started to leave.
"Bye," She returned Mirokus' wave, and left up the street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No one
had looked at him <b>all</b> day, and that means actually <b>looked</b> at him.
Sure a couple people had looked at him, but they all had disgusted looks on
their faces and didn't look too interested in buying a slave.
It was geting
kinda late, probably six or seven, and Sesshoumaru was starting to worry he
wasn't gonna get bought, and that means no food.
Then he saw her. A beautiful
young madan, strawberry red hair, and the face of an angel.
He closed his eyes
to smell her, she smelled of strawberries, chocolates, and inu. And inu?!
He opened his eyes to take another look at her, she had a little inu pup
bouncing around by her feet.
She looked like a nice girl, but that didn't
cheer him up, cause he knew a nice young girl like her would <b>never</b> buy a
slave like him.
Yet she looked back at him, and she's starting to walk over to
him. He held his breathe. She was looking at him pretty hard, if she looked any
harder she'd notice what kind of condition he's in.
To his horror she did, she
noticed how scratched up he was, he let his breathe out, she would never buy him
in this condition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-I
should go home too,- thought Miroku as he watched Arai walking up the street
with Sashoubou trating along by her feet.
He packed up his sweets, and put up
a sign that said 'Sorry, We Are Closed, Come Back Tomorrow' and headed home.
When nearing his house he heard Sarah's voice saying, "Master is not home right
now-" and noticed that she had cut off in the middle of her sentance, so he
quickened his pace.
When he had gotten in through the gate he noticed someone
talking to Sarah, -wait a minute- he thought while continuing to walk closer to
the strange man, -he looks exactly like Sarah, only male-
"What's going on
here?" he asked, and both of them turned.
"Mi-Miroku?" asked the stranger.
-How does he know my name- thought Miroku.
"How do you know my name?" he
asked.
"It's me, Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha... Inuyasha, nope, dosen't ring a
bell, sorry" said Miroku wondering how on earth this man knew his name and wondering
why the man thought saying his name would solve everything.
"We hunted for
jewel shards together, don't you remember?"
"Jewel shards? What are you
talking about?"
"Four-hundred years ago-"
"Wait, wait, wait, hold on,
four-hundred <b>years</b> ago?" Now Miroku was confused, he's only 23 and the
man in front of him is claiming he knew him four-hundred years ago.
"Yes, four-hundred years ago we, as in you, Sango, Kirara,
Shippou, Kagome, and I were searching for the shikan-no-tama, to find it before
Naraku, so that we would be able to kill him."
-Shikno-no-tama? Shippou?
Kagome? Kill Naraku? Why would I want to kill Naraku, he's one of my biggest
costomers, sure he gives me the creeps. but I would never want to <b>kill</b>
him,- Miroku thought.
"What's this about Shippou and Kagome, who are they, and what is
the shikan-no-tama, and why would <b>I</b> want to kill Naraku?"
"Shippou was a kitsune, and Kagome was the reincarnation of
Kikyo. The shikan-no-tama is the jewel of four souls in which can give human and
demon alike new powers. The reason you wanted to kill Naraku is because of the
wind-tunnel he cursed you with."
"Wind-tunnel? What is a wind-tunnel?"
"This!" The man grabed his hand and took of his sacred beads and the cloth and
looked at his hand. "Where'd it go?!" The man started to flip his hand over.
"I think you should leave now,"
he said pulling his hand away
from Inuyasha. "Sarah, show out guest to the exit."
"Yes, master,"
said Sarah quietly grading Inuyasha's arm and pulling him to the exit.
-What
was all <b>that</b> about?- thought Miroku as he headed inside, -who the heck
was that guy, sure he said his name was Inuyasha, but that didn't explain who he
was. Oh well, I'll worry about that tomorrow- He thought as he entered his room
and got into bed.
(to be concluded...)
