A Tale Of A Hunter's Moon by kc

Chapter 1

 ok guys, i am posting this for my 16 year old's creative writing class. i am going to post it here because she really lacks self confidence because her teacher's really pick at her. Now this is being written by a girl who has the worst time in school she is slightly dyslexic and bi polar so she has some real issues. It is my hope this helps her by people giving her help without making her feel like a complete moron like her teacher's have been. Thanks guys for your help

 

 

 

 

               “Kagome time to come in for the night, it is getting late and the temperature is dropping sweetheart.” Riku called out the kitchen door to her child.

              “Mom only a few more minutes its not that dark or cold yet I haven’t had this much fun in years.” Kagome whined to her mom.’ I never get to go sledding anymore I am always busy with school, or something around the shrine and we haven’t had this much snow in a long time.’ she thought.

               “Sorry dear, come in now you need to take a shower and get ready for bed you can sled more tomorrow okay sweetheart. They already announced there was no school tomorrow or the day after because of the snow and it is supposed to snow more in a few days.” her mother laughingly stated.

               “Okay I am coming in now, and there is really no school the rest of the week yay more fun tomorrow maybe Souta can come out and we can build a snowman” Kagome shouted acting like a 8 year old rather than the 17 year old teen she is.

             Walking to the house, she propped up the sled against the wall by the back door, looking around to make sure everything was in place she walked into the house. Heading upstairs to the bathroom she decided to take a long hot soak to warm up and then she would see if her mom had some hot chocolate ready. Her mom always had hot chocolate waiting for them when they were outside in the cold.

              Glancing through her little brother’s room she noticed he was asleep, walking in the room she placed her hand against his head to see if his fever came down. “Aghhh Kagome your hand is like ice, warm it up next time.” her brother yelled.Giggling Kagome replied ”There is no school the rest of the week, and it feels like your fever broke so tomorrow we can build snowmen, and sled ok favorite brother of mine.”

             “I’m your only brother silly, and really you promise to play with me tomorrow? Your not going to abandon me for your friends?”

              “I promise, all day tomorrow I am yours ok so get some rest we are going to have a lot of fun ok squirt.”She swears with her hand over her heart.Walking to her bathroom she puts the stopper in place, and gets out her favorite bath oils'Hmm chamomile and Lavender, i love the smell and they will help me relax so i can fall asleep.' Slowly stepping into the tub, she leans back ,resting her head on the rim. "Poor Souta, he has been so sick the last few weeks, i hope he gets better soon. I know the others want me to come see them tomorrow but Yuka, Eri and Ayumi will just have to understand my little brother comes first."the teen mumbles outloud, sinking further into the perfumed water.

          "Kagome i have some hot chocolate waiting downstairs why dont you come join us when your in your pj's ok sweetheart." says her mom as she heads into Souta's room to check on him.

         " Sure thing i willl be down in a minute!" she exclaims  ' hmm hot chocolate yay' as she jumps from the tub and throws on a pair of happy bunny pj's her friends got her for christmas this year.

              Kagome finally made it to her room after escaping from her grampa and his scary tales of demon's and werewolves. Walking over to the window looking out at the reflection of the nearly full moon on the snow, the icicles glittering in the moonlight ‘what a beautiful sight, well I better get into bed so I will be well rested for tomorrow with Souta’. Jumping into her bed she snuggled under the covers and quickly fell asleep. Never noticing the golden gazes on her from the tree outside her window.

               “This is the girl whose scent you followed through the city? What is so special about her, she is just food like all the other humans.” a voice whispered from the branch above.

                 “Silence Inuyasha, I do not know why her scent called to me but I will find out. Tomorrow night we will hunt so let’s get back to the den and check on the other’s make sure they are ready.” was growled back.

                   “Feh, don’t get your panties in a bunch Sesshoumaru. I was just asking geez I will meet you at the den.” Inuyasha snidely returned.

                    Returning his gaze to the girl on the bed,’ I don’t know what it is about you but I will find out, are you food or something more.’ Sesshoumaru thought as he watched her roll onto her side facing the window . ' i will be back little girl' he growls to himself. Then jumping from the tree he joins his companion on the ground and they speed from the shrine they had visited. Disappearing into the darkness and shadows leaving poeple shivering in their wake looking around for the cause of their shiver.

           Thanks for reading i will post more as soon as i get it written. This is for an ongoing creative writing class the project has to have a chapter a week written at least so i will update it as soon as i get it back from the teacher.

          I don't own Inuyasha and make no profit for this story.
