Cirque De Youkai

chapter 1 : The Circus Arrives

It was well beyond dark and the night was silent and peaceful. The city's occupants slept peacefully in their beds while a fog drifted through the quiet streets the sound of hooves moving slowly but steady filled the nights. Large horses with black coats but white around their hooves and blue stars on their hinds pulled a large coach. The coach was black with red curtains and gold handles and rims, it's driver wore a long trench coat and top hat. A click of the reigns as the wheels rattled over stones and rocks. Behind the coach were more sets of horses, some chocolate brown with white patches, some grey with black spots, at the very middle were two pure white with blue crescents on their forheads pulling another coach this one with Velvet curtains. A delicate hand moved the curtains aside as a raven haired emerald eye female peeked out.

The horses soon came to stop as they reached a large clearing surrounded by fields just off the edge of the city. The front coach's driver set the reigns down as he stepped to the ground, he tapped on the window, "we've arrived sir."

He stepped back at the sound of the door clicking as a long silver haired male with amber orbs and wearing a black suit with a blue vest stepped out. Black boots ending halfway between his ankle and knee, black top hat and cane. The amber eyed male looked around before speaking, "Miroku begin unloading and get the crew to raise the tents. Inuyasha have Lady Kade set up the spell grid."

"Feh, fine," another silver haired male wearing black pants and shirt similar to the other but with a red vest and red rimmed top hot. Inuyasha walked off towards the coach in the middle of the large parade. He knocked hard on the door, "yo old lady Mr. Bossy wants you set up the spell grid!"

The door opened and the emerald eye raven haired female stepped down hands on her hips, the long flowing dark purple skirt flowing in the breeze with a blue dress jacket. Gold coins were sewn into the edge of the skirt jingling as she stepped down, "Inuyasha that is no way to talk to to Kaede-chan or about Sesshoumaru-sama"

"Feh, whatever wench," Inuyasha grumbled, he looked her over once before glancing at a another raven haired female with dark brown eyes similar to the first female but in a red style victorian skirt and top. Followed by a short old lady in shrine grabs.

"Don't forget that ye may be his brother but Sesshoumaru-Sama is our ringmaster and leader Inuyasha," Kaede reminded inuyasha yet again, it was the same routine every stop.

"Feh, like I could forget with you old hag and the wenches reminding me," Inyuasha griped but stopped, back at the looks he got from both dark haired females.

"Inuyasha," the emerald eyes female said cooly her eyes narrowing. Inuyasha cringed knowing what was coming, "Sit!" A glowing bead necklace appeared around Inuyasha's neck slamming him into the ground. His top hat falling off revealing twitching dog ears, "My name is Ka-go-me! Not wench!" She stepped over him with a hmph and went off in search of her friend.

Kaede shook her head and headed to set up the spell grid while the dark brown eyes female knelt beside Inuyasha, "are you okay?"

"Do I look like I'm okay?!" Inuyasha snapped waiting for the beads spell to wear off. A couple minutes later the spell wore off and he stood brushing himself off, "what the hell is with your cousin Kikyo? She wake up on the wrong side of the coach?"

Kikyo just shrugged smiling slyly as she leaned in and kissed his neck, "she's just pmsing, why don't you stop by my trailer tonight?"

Inuyasha looked to see if Kagome was around before nodding, "we'll see." He picked up his top hat and dusted it off heading to find his bossy sibling.

*********

Kagome walked up to the beast master or more like beast mistress trailer, she knocked, "Sango you there?" The door opened as another darkhaired female with forest eyes dressed in a tight black and red fighting gi. "Hey Sango, are you headed to help with the animals?"

Sango nodded, "how about you join me, the Blaze and Kaze love you." She closed the trailer door walking with Kagome as Kagome laughed. Kaze and Blaze were their twin white tigers that Kagome had found when their crossed the path of another circus. The circus that they were from had been abusing the cubs and after some tears and begging on Kagome's part they convinced Sesshoumaru to purchase the cubs. Now the cubs were the size of full-grown tigers despite only being a year old.

They came to the animal trailers and growling and snarling could be heard from one, some of the young crew were too terrified to open the doors. Sango waved them off, "don't worry we have this, go take care of the others they have to be needing to stretch their legs after this long trip."

The young crew were only too happy as they nearly tripped over their own feet trying to get away. Sango shook her head as she placed her hand on the door, Kagome stepping in front of it. The doors opened to darkness two pairs of glowing eyes growling at them, Blaze had fire red orbs while Kaze had sea blue eyes.

"Blaze! Kaze! Come on boys!" Kagome opened her arms laughing softly. Both tigers hopped out knocking her to the ground making her cry out as she tried to squirm out from under two purring rumbling couple hundred pound tigers.

*******************

Sesshoumaru walked through the circus paths overseeing the setups, he had just made sure the spell grids were up and was now passing the animal trailers. He looked up swiftly when he heard a female cry out recognizing it as Kagome, he sped up turning the corner swiftly only to stop in his tracks. He found a slight curve forming on his lips when he spotted Kagome getting a courtesy tackle from Blaze and Kaze. He watched silently enjoying the sound of laughter from her but never showing it. He shook his head watching Blaze and Kaze, they were getting bigger and their appetites with it.

If anyone else had tried to convince him to purchase them he would have walked away but seeing Kagome in tears holding the two small cubs as she begged him to help then he couldn't say no. He just wanted those tears to stop and to see a smile on her face and the smile on her face when he offered to purchase the cubs was priceless and made his heart warm. He sighed, if only he had got to her before his stupid younger sibling who didn't deserve her. But now all he could do was watch her from afar.
