This is my first Inuyasha fanfiction. Please read and review. It is about Sesshoumaru and a girl named Sumiko. This is right after Inuyasha almost kills Sesshoumaru.

Sumiko had long black hair which reached to the middle of her back. She was a human extremely skilled in swordsmanship and exterminating youkai. Sumiko also knew hand to hand combat. She had side bangs covering her left eye. She was wearing a plain kimono with wave designs decorating it.

Currently, she was chasing a group of youkai who were wreaking havoc in her village. Successfully leading it away from the village, she was about to kill it when, suddenly, it crashed through multiple trees and into a clearing. Before it could go anywhere further, Sumiko leaped into the air and brought her sword swinging down and killed it.

Landing quietly on the ground, she was about to return when she froze, sensing the presence of another youkai. Swiveling around, she saw a youkai with silver hair, a crescent moon on his forehead, magneta stripes on both his cheeks and right arm. Taking a cautious step forward, she was jolted back when he snarled at her, eyes red and hostile looking.

Still staring at the youkai, she realized he was heavily injured. Sumiko also didn't think he was going to hurt her. Probably the reason why he snarled at her was cause he thought she was going to hurt him. At his side, she saw a small green demon.

Even though she was a youkai exterminator, Sumiko had a soft side as well. Turning around, she decided to treat him and maybe bring him some food. As she left, Sesshomaru continued to watch her.

"Sesshomaru-sama, that girl didn't seem very scared of you." Jaken, the green demon imp said.

"Yes, she was human."

"She'll probably come back soon."

"Hn."

Rushing back towards her secluded hut on the outskirts of her village, Sumiko rummaged through her first aid kit, and found bandages, a spray which got rid of germs and went back to where the youkai was. The reason only she lived this far from everyone else was cause she was the most powerful youkai exterminater in the entire village.

Occasionally, they would come to pay her a visit and bring food and gifts when she saved them from a youkai.

Bursting through the clearing, Sumiko was relieved for some reason to find the youkai still laying there. Carefully approaching him, she knelt by his side as he watched her with weary eyes.

"What are you doing?" Sesshoumaru coldly questioned the human girl trying to heal him.

"Unless you want to die from your wounds, I'm treating your wounds." Sumiko responded icily, just like him, when he asked her.

-No response-

However, Jaken wasn't as quiet as his master.

"Hey! Human! Why are you doing this?"

"What? You don't want me to help your lord?"

"W-what.. No! Sesshoumaru-sama will be fine without the help of a human."

"A human, huh? I can assure you I'm not a human."

This time, Sesshoumaru spoke up.

"Who are you?"

"Sumiko." Her answers being simple and straightforward.

"You're a demon." Sesshoumaru asked his question in the form of a statement. (Are you a demon?)

"Heh. Who are you?" Sumiko asked, completely ignoring his question/statement.

"Hmph. Sesshoumaru."

Widening her eyes, she suddenly burst out "The Great Demon Lord of the West!"

Jaken, now completely confused about the mystery that was this girl, inquired "How do you know that name? Very few humans recognize Sesshoumaru-sama by that name. In fact, most do not even know who he is. Disgrace."

Deciding it was better to ignore the little imp, she finished bandaging most of Sesshoumaru's wounds except for the one on his chest.

Frowning, Sumiko had trouble deciding whether or not to bandage that specific place.

Sesshoumaru had a sudden image of someone who looked exactly like Sumiko and assumed they were the same people, since she hadn't denied her identity of a demon. Also, he knew some people who created spells to hide their powerful demonic aura and strength and in turn, looked like a human. The girl demon Sesshoumaru knew from a long time ago had light blue haher and amber eyes while everything else was the same.

And of course she had the demonic claws and fangs. Her claws also had the ability to create a fire whip. Sesshoumaru remembered her quite clearly.

Snapping back to reality, he stared at Sumiko, watching her while she frowned.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to treat me?" Sesshoumaru asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course."

"Jaken, go get some food."

"Eh? Oh! Yes. Right away Sesshoumaru-sama!" the green imp rushed to gather food quickly.

Slowly, Sumiko slid his kimono off his shoulders and exposed his fit chest and she had to fight herself to avoid embarrassing herself by blushing.

"Stop staring and get to work. Sumiko." Sesshoumaru teased her. To me, the author, that's shocking! O_O

"Wha...I know..." Sumiko grumbled to herself, flustered, even though she tried to keep herself from blushing, failing.

Unwrapping the roll of bandages, she made Sesshoumaru sit up and wrapped it around his chest. Tightening them, she looked up and found Sesshoumaru staring at something in the distance.

"Is something wrong?"

"No."
