Ame Ishtar age 16 was walking in the forest of death when a spider demon attacked her. She was cut on the side. The demon was going to attack her again when jumping in front of her he swung himself at the spider demon cutting him in half with his claws. Sesshomaru looked about eighteen, but in demon years, he was already of age. He had cut his hair after Inuyasha had gotten married to Kagome. He did not resent his half brother anymore, but was rather jealous that he found love.
Kneeling in front of the girl his hazel eyes showed a tint of emotion. "Are you alright?" After Rin had died he was depressed but because of her, his heart softened, and he was not as cold as he was before. "Miss?"
Ame looked at the demon that saved her. She bows to him and says, "I am ok." She grabs her side in pain. Brushing his now semi short white hair aside, he took a pouch from the back of his neck. "Here turn over on your side. Its herbs, it will help the pain go away, and heal your wound quicker." He put some on his finger waiting for her to turn.
Ame turned; her eyes watch his every move. She asks, "Why help a half demon?" He rubbed the herbs in gently. "Why you say? I guess as atonement on how I treated my own brother. There all done." He put the herb pack back behind his hair. He stood up and patted his kimono. "Can you stand?"
Ame stood but soon fell down again. She says, "I hate this body of mine! It is so weak." Ame looks at the ground sadly. He sighs a bit then helps her up placing one of her hands over his shoulder. "Here you can lean against me and do not beat yourself up too much. Your strong, most half demons would have just lied there but you actually got up. So you're stronger than you know." He smirk formed on his face.
Ame just says, "I'm not strong enough." He looked at her from the corner of his eye. "Now, don't say that. Everyone has their strong points." He steadied her. Then smiled trying to cheer her up. Ame just groaned. Seeing her stubbornness, he just sighed. "So where are you heading?" He said in a monotone voice. He was beginning to return to his emotionless self.
Ame says, "I'm looking for a new home." He looked at her again. "You're welcome to stay with me if you like. I have not had company in awhile, so I do not necessarily mind. It's gotten quite lonely." His face still hidden. Ame says, "Are you sure?" He nodded solemnly. He missed Rin dearly. "I'm…sure…" He looked down remembering her gentle face...her delicate human figure…But she was gone now and there was nothing he could do.
Ame softly kisses his cheek as a sign of thanks. He touched his cheek and his eyes widened. For a moment, she looked like Rin. He smiles lifting her hand and kissing it. "I don't do that that often so please pardon me." They began to walk to Sesshomaru's little home.
