I don’t give up! Chapter Two is here! After nearly two weeks I’ve
gotten it posted! By the way, for some reason you guave ave gotten the
idea that it’s Sesshoumaru that’s posted to the tree. I never said
that. Also I’ve gotten multiple reviews on Kagome’s behavior. She just
doesn’t like Rin; it’s not that she’s a bitch herself. After all,
Kagome’s not known for being nice to people she doesn’t like.
Once Upon a Time in a Feudal Fairy Tale
Chapter One: The Well
Beep.
Damn thing...
Beep.
Not now...
Beep.
Two more minutes...
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
“SHUT UP!”
Rin yelled and smashed the offending alarm clock with her fist. Shaking
her head, Rin sat up and groaned. had had achieved what she was
originally going to do, but now her waking-system was in pieces and,
probably out of spite, it shattered her hand.
Falling back down to her pillows, Rin stared at the ceiling. Wait...
That wasn’t her ceiling.
“No-o-o.” she groaned “Nightmare, please say it was a nightmare.”
“Hey Rin.”
Guess not. Rin thought miserably.
Continuing to stare up at the ceiling, Kagome leaned over her and said, “Breakfast, lazy. Get up! Get dressed!”
Glaring
at her, Rin answered, “I would, but normally I don’t have obnoxious
cousins leaning over me when I do. So, sorry if I like privacy.”
Kagome didn’t respond, just glared back. “Fine. I’ll bwnstwnstairs if you need me and-”
“I won’t.”
“And mom’s having noodles, probably ‘cause you’re here.”
“That’s nice.”
And they stared. Rin was first to break the heavy silence. “Gonna leave?”
“Oh, um, yeah. Bye.”
Kagome disappeared from her line of vision and left.
“Finally.”
Rin threw back her covers and swung her legs over to meet the carpeted
floor. Leaning over to reach under the bed, she pulled out two brown
suitcases that contained some of her clothes.
Rin pulled one of
them up to her bed and opened the clasps. Inside was a generous variety
of shirts and jewelry. Shifting through the layers, Rin pulled out an
orange sleeveless shirt hemmed with black. Comparing it to the rest of
her body, Rin deemed it suitable and shifted to the suitcase with her
pants, buckles, underclothes. In there, she pulled out a black pair of
jeans that were decorated with “Angel” on the butt. Taking out a
green-hooped belt, she studied the outfit together laid out on her bed
and was pleased with the match, despite of it’s Halloween-ish
appearance. ::1::
Dressing herself in them, Rin fiddled with her
hair until she pulled a small portion of her lonark ark hair to the
back of her head and braided it. Applying no make-up besides black
mascara, Rin looked herself over and turned a couple of times. Grinning
she ran downstairs and met the Higurashi’s at the table.
“Hello,
everyone.” Grandpa Higurashi and Kagome merely looked up, but Akiko
turned around and smiled while Souta ran up to her and brought her over
to were he was eating.
“This is where you sit Rin! See, next to me and Kagome!” He gibbered excitedly, poig eag eagerly.
Rin
smiled at his enthusiasm and sat next to him. Picking up the
chopsticks, Rin tried to fit them in her hand properly, but to no
avail. The chopsticks refused to fit in her hand comfortably and no
amount of persuasion could make it do so.
Giving up, she placed
it back down and asked; “Can I have a fork, or something, I can’t use
these.” lifting the chopsticks for reference.
Kagome snickered and looked up at Rin to receive a glare from her mother and cousin and quickly returned to her bowl.
“That’s
all right, dear. Your father had the same problem and he was Japanese!
Your mother, though, picked it up right away, and I’m sure you will
too,” her Aunt consoled. “Here, this way.”
After a couple of
minutes of shifting her fingers and learning how to pick the noodles
up, Rin O-Tsuyu had mastered the technique.
“Well done!” Akiko chorused appraisingly “That was very fast!”
Rin smiled sheepishly, “I’m not going to the Ivy for nothing. Chopstick-mastery is a must.”
Aunt Akiko smiled and laughed lightly, but Kagome leaned over and whispered “Kiss up!” in her ear.
Rin glared at her cousin wordlessly and for the rest of the meal continued eating in silence.
Souta finished first and asked if he could go outside with Buyo.
“Of course, honey. But put the dishes in the sink first.” his mother reminded.
“Yeah, yeah, I will. Hey Rin, wanna come out with me?” he asked while walking to the kitchen with his bowl.
Swallowing her food, Rin answered, “Sure. Right after I finish eating, okay? You go out and play until then.”
Souta nodded and picked up his fat cat. Putting his shoes on with one foot, laces untied, Souta walked out of the door.
Soon
after, Rin finished with Kagome and stood up. Putting her dishes away,
Rin tugged on her shoes, laces tied, and half walked out before turning
and asking Ka, “W, “Wanna come with me? Souta’d appreciate it.”
Turning her head from side to side, in what Rin supposed was a yes, Kagome foll Rin Rin’s steps and walked out with her.
They did not see Souta right away. “Where is he?” Rin asked after looking around for a bit. “He’s not outside.”
“Buyo! Buyo!”
Both Rin and Kagome turned their heads in the direction of the noise. “Souta” they spoke in union.
“Look!
The shrine, it’s open. I bet he’s in there. Wait till mom finds out!
He’s not allowed to be in there.” Kagome said leeringly.
“Oh, lay off, Kagome. I know you hear the ‘Buyo!’ so obviously he’s looking for him.” Rin responded.
She snorted but didn’t say anything as they walked to the shrine.
“Hey, uh, Kagome?” Rin suddenly asked. “Didn’t you once say there’s something weird in there?”
“What? Not scared, I hope.” she jeered.
“No. What’s in there anyway?”
“Just the Bone-Eaters Well. It’s supposed to be haunted.” Kagome said, trying to sound eerie and nonchalant at the same time.
“Hmph.”
“Hey Rin! Kagome! Buyo’s stuck down there!” Come Souta’s voice from the shrine.
Walking
into the damp, dark building, Rin was automatically reminded of the
spooky houses from horror stories. She was almost compelled to run out
of the shrine to the house and hide beneath her covers. But with Kagome
standing beside her unaffected, Rin thought better of it. Bes, is, it’s just a smelly old shrine, she thought to herself reassuringly, with a creepy old well covered with sutras, said another voice.
Sucking it in, she asked Souta where was Buyo.
“Down there somewhere.” he said, pointing.
I knew he was going to say that, she thought depressingly. “Well, let’s go down, Kagome.” she said much more confidently then she felt.
“We? Why do I have to go too?” Kagome asked, with what Rin would like to think, with fear.
“Because,” she retorted, “Number one, we’ll find him quicker. Number two, why can’t you? Scared? And number three, he’s NOT MY CAT!” she finished angrily.
“Fine, geez, bite my head off.”
“I just might take up on that offer.”
They both went down the stairs, one going faster than the other, trying to prove that she wasn’t scared.
When they reached the bottom, they went in opposite directions, colliding.
“Ow! Watch it!” they yelled simultaneously. “You watch it!”
Having
said the same thing at the same time twice in a row, they both shut up
and stood up at the same time, while turning their backs to one another
and searched for the cat.
“Wow! Mom was right! You two are really alike!” Souta called from above them.
They glared and turned back to their search. ::2::
Kagome was first to “find” Buyo.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!” She screamed loudly, giving Rin a start.
“Kagome! It’s just the cat.” Souta said laughing.
Rin turned around to see her younger cousin clutching her heart and picking up the cat beneath her arm.
“Didn’t you say something about me being scared, Kagome?” Rin asked sweetly.
Kagome
only offered a death glare while Rin walked over to her cousin in front
of the well. Kagome turned around to yell at Souta about the stupid cat
and why he didn’t help.
Rin, on the other hand, continued to stare at the well, feeling something strange.
And
as she saw the wood that sealed it creak and burst she just stared at
it blankly as the pale, cold arms reached out and grasped her and
Kagome, pulling them into the well. ::3::
End of Chapter One: The Well
Wow. I wrote a lot, actually. Enough to make over 1500 words, so be grateful.
Not
much of a cliffhanger, since you know what happens. Which sucks. But
there is the up side that Rin is there, so there’s bound to be a
difference. At any rate, I would appreciate helpful and insightful
reviews that’ll help me improve my story. Which, by the way, is

1-Meant to resemble Rin's
kimono in Inuyasha. Since it's traditional to have characters wear the
same outfit over and over, Rin'll do the same.
2-meant to show that they are very similar in some ways. Already implied by me and the origanal Inuyasha. Which I do not own.
3-Very similar to the Inuyasha sequence, ex Rin. This is important to notice, since it symbols .:big voice:. THINGS TO COME!
