Kaiya stood on her balcony over what used to be the gardens, it was now just a patch of dead plants and weeds.
A slight breeze blew her black hair out of her face, it was midnight, but not nearly as dark as her hair. She looked up at the full moon, in a silent howl of helplessness, her ice blue eyes were filled with sadness.
She was trapped, she's been alone for decades, and she'd never had any friends or anyone that truly cared for her, though she'd been told many a time that she was beautiful and exquisite and such, but it meant nothing to her.
She wore black in morning of the freedom she'd never had, she couldn't leave, not unless she was rescued, and there were only two people who could do that, and neither had a reason to.
She collapsed onto the floor, letting her legs fold beneath her and her layers of soft, black clothing pool around her. Warm tears ran down her cheeks, she'd always cry on the first night of the full moon, she cried as an offering to the Gods, begging them to let her free.
Sesshomaru walked at a steady pace, Rin and Jaken walking behind him, he sensed something was near, he stopped and listened, her heard a distant scream.
He turned to Jaken, "stay here with Rin." He turned and ran in the direction of the scream.
As he got closer he could smell fear, pain and desperation. Sesshomaru had no clue as to what he was running towards, but Tenseiga was pulsating, and as he got closer it sped up.
He burst into a clearing, the scent of pain so strong he had to cover his nose with his sleave. He found himself standing in front of the ruins to a castle, parts of it were still standing, but some rooms were now reduced to rubble.
He walked up to the large wooden door, he pushed it open with his elbow and walked down the hallway it led into.
He stood outside the room the screams were coming from; he opened the door and looked down at a girl writhing on the stone floor. She had pale skin, ice blue eyes that were screaming in their own right, her dark hair fanned out behind her head, her clothing pooled around her in black folds.
Sesshomaru stood over her, he gripped Tenseiga, then slowly drew the sword. The girl stopped screaming instantly, she looked over at him, and then stood slowly. Her hair fell to her waist, soft and silky, her eyes softened and she bowed her head to him.
Sesshomaru turned and walked away from her, she seemed familiar, yet he was sure he'd never met her before. Kaiya followed the demon lord out of her room and along to the front door, Sesshomaru kept walking, but she stayed on the doorstep.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" she called.
Sesshomaru turned to her, not showing his surprise at her knowing who he was, "yes?"
"I cannot leave on my own," she held out her hand, "you have to lead me out."
Sesshomaru took her hand and held it gently as she stepped from her prison, then he realised how he was acting and dropped her hand, marching towards the edge of the clearing.
"Are you going to continue following me?" Sesshomaru asked, not turning to look at her.
"Yes." She answered simply, and it wasn't like she had anything better to do.
The two youkai soon returned to Jaken and Rin – who was waiting quietly for once.
"Who is that, mi'lord?" Jaken asked as he took his place by his Master's side.
Sesshomaru looked down at Jaken and the little demon quickly dropped back to walk behind his master.
