_______________________________________________________
"Hello Sango, so what's going on between you and
Miroku?" asked Kamet.
"Oh, it's going great." Sango replied
-I sense consealment, she's not
telling the truth.- thought Kamet.
"It's going 'great'?" said Kamet
suspiciously.
"Ok, fine. I sould have known you
would be able to sense that I wasn't telling the truth,
for reals Miroku has been paying more attention to that
slave of his than me." admited Sango.
"He has?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I can take care of that," said
Kamet.
"How?" asked Sango with an air of
suspision.
"I'll buy it from him."
"He won't sell it to you."
"Ohh, yes he will."
Sango eyed her
suspisiously. "Um, not to be
rude or anything, but I think you should leave Kamet,"
and seeing the expression on her sisters face added, "so
that Sango and I can talk, after all she is here on an
apointment." "Ok, we'll talk
later then, it is kinda getting a little late. Do you
think you can drop by my cave tomorrow around 12:00 noon
to continue talking?" "Sure, see
you then." "See you, bye!"
Kamet walked out the door, -I think I'll
try to buy Miroku's slave tonight, while I'm still
thinking about it.- she thought as she turned the key
and the S.U.V. roared into life.
She drove down the street and pulled into
Miroku's driveway about five minutes later. She walked
up to the door and rang the doorbell, Sarah, Mirou's
slave that Kamet wanted to buy, came up to the door.
"Hey is Miroku around?" asked Kamet.
"No, Master is sleeping right now," she
said with a slight shake of her head.
"Ok, I'll just come back tomorrow then,"
she said turning around and getting gracefully back into
the S.U.V. -geese, I can't
believe how much she looks like Inuyasha.- she thought
driving home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sesshoumaru..." his ears pricked, it sounded like his
new mistresses voice, "Sesshoumaru, are you awake?" her
sweet voice carried through the house to him.
"Yes, Mistress," he replied.
"Come downstairs."
"Yes, Mistress," he got up and started
walking down the stairs. He could smell fresh apples and
soup. "Are you hungry,
Sesshoumaru?" she asked kindly.
-Is she going to sell me already? All my previous
masters and mistresses only ask me that question right
before they sell me.- "Yes,Mistress," he replied
truthfully. "Would you like some
soup?" "Yes, Mistress," it was
only just now that it was dawning on him how hungry he
truly was, they hadn't had any food last night, after
that demon exterminater left they just went straight to bed.
"Well, sit down," she said placing a bowl
of soup on the table. He sat in
front of the soup. "Well, eat
up," she said placing a bowl of soup on the other side
of the table and siting down to eat.
"Yes, Mistress," he said starting to eat
his soup. "So, do you have any
family?" asked his mistress about half-way through their
soup. "Yes, Mistress." he said
"Well, tell me about them."
"Well," said Sesshoumaru looking
longingly at his soup, "I have a brother and a sister,
their twins." "What are their
names?" "Inuyasha and Sarah."
"Inuyasha?! Your brother is Inuyasha?"
"Yes, Mistress," he said wondering why
she was so startled about hearing this.
"No wonder you look like him," she said,
then she noticed him looking at her, "You see, Inuyasha
and Kouga, my sisters mate, are mortal enemies, and
Kouga has told Kamet all about him, and she told me
about him. Ohh, and you can continue eating your soup."
she said noticing his longing look at his soup.
"Yes, Mistress."
"Mistress, Mistress, Mistress, call me Arai."
"Yes, Mistress Arai."
"Just Arai."
"Yes, Arai." "Ok, now that the
apitizer is over," said Arai noticing that both
Sesshoumaru and her had finished eating their soup.
She got up and started busling around the
kitchen and came back out five minutes later with a big
plate of meat and an overflowing bowl of strawberries.
She placed the plate of meat on the table
in front of him and the strawberries in front of herself.
"Eat up, we've got a long day ahead of
us." she said starting to eat her strawberries. Then
noticing the odd look on Sesshoumaru's face said, "I'm
not that big a fan of meat, so you can have all of that meat and I'll just eat this," she said pointing at the
strawberries. "Yes, Mistre- I
mean Arai." he said starting to eat his meat.
"So, when was the last time you saw
Inuyasha?" "About four-hundred
years ago." "That long?"
"Yes, Arai" "Why were
you two seperated?" "A powerful
miko wished to have me as a slave and captured me."
"I see."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She realized
she must have touched a sensative spot so she looked about for something to
change the subject to. Then she noticed that he was not eating his food.
"You can finish eating your food."
"Yes, Arai."
When they had finished eatting Arai rose from the table and
motioned for Sesshoumaru to do the same. He followed her to the sink where she
washed the dishes.
"Come, we are going to go meet with my sister now."
"Yes, Arai."
They walked outside to the car where she said, "get in."
"Yes, Arai."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Get in," he looked up, his mistress was pointing at a car and
telling him to get in.
"Yes, Arai," he did as commanded and got into the vehicle.
While they were traveling he keep his attention directed to
outside the vehicle. He merely saw flashes of senery then he saw a flash of
silver, -was that, no it couldn't have been- he thought, he looked back -it was
him, it was my brother, so he is alive. I thought he'd be dead by now,
but apearantly hanyou's can live longer than I thought-
"We're here Sesshoumaru."
He looked up, the car had stoped and his misstress was getting
out of the car, he followed her. He had been too busy thinking about his brother
to notice the car had stoped, -ok, Sess- he thought to himself, -pay attention
to what is happening now, not to your brother, or Arai may get angry.-
"Oh, hello Arai, Kamet is out doing something for the moment, but
she should be back in a couple minutes, so go ahead and take a seat," he looked
up and saw an ookami youkai, she looked alot like his mistresses sister.
"Ok, Yangu-wan."
-Yangu-wan? How old is she if she is called young one?- thought
Sesshoumaru, -wait a minute, that scent- he thought as a new scent started to
draw nearer, -it is that of my sister.-
"Oh, Arai, you're here already," it was his mistresses sister,
she must have just walked in the door, and following behind her... (to be concluded...)
