Hey, tell me how you like my story!

She ran as fast as she could. She didn't dare stop. The giant Lizard behind her, screeching at the top of its lungs. She ran swiftly, her feet lightly touching the floor every step, her black hooded cape flowing behind her. Dodging trees as the lizard came closer and closer. Huffing heavily, she looked down to her arms. A small grey kitten meowed and looked at her with sparkling blue eyes.

"Don't, worry Sumi." She whispered.

Suddenly, she tripped on a tree root, falling hard on the ground, the kitten still clutched to her chest. She looked up from the dirt floor, the demon so very close. She closed her eyes, and hugged the kitten hard, hoping to protect it. The demon pounced as it was about to slash the girl with its claws. She shivered with terror and waited for death.

But it never came.

She slowly lifted her head, and seen the lizard had been sliced into pieces and was on the floor disassembled. It slowly sizzled and disappeared. Lifting her head slightly higher, she seen a white haired demon standing over her. He had an evil glare, worse that the lizard demon. He looked down at her, most of her face covered my stray hair and the hood. She quickly got to her feet and stood up. She was only a few feet from him. She slowly moved one foot behind her, about to make a move to run.

"Don't move." He said coldly. She froze dead in her tracks. "Who are you, and what business do you have being on my lands?"

She just stared at him, afraid to make any moves.

"Answer me or I will kill you."

She flinched and brought the kitten, closer to her. "I...was...running. From the demon."

He looked a little more angry. "Who are you?" he growled. "I can sense something strange about you."

She didn't say anything. She stayed silent.

"Do you wish me to harm that neko held to your heart so tight?"

She immidetly responded. "I'm Masumi."

He lifted an eyebrow. "What are you. You are no average human."

The girl was afraid to answer. Not knowing exactly what the demon would do. "I'm a…sorceress."

'Apparently the neko is very important to her.' He thought.

"Sorceress?" He questioned. She nodded. He stared at her.

She screamed out of no where and fainted. She hit the floor hard with a thump. The kitten did not leave her arms.

He looked down at the grey kitten again. It meowed, as if almost trying to say, "Please help us."

Sesshomaru picked up the girl, the kitten still in her arms, and flew off to his castle.

Masumi could hear wind going by her ears very quickly. She slowly open her eyes, her vision blurry. But from what she could see, was the demon from before! She quickly lifted her head up but flinched from a blinding pain in her side. "S-Sumi." The man looked down at her.

"The neko is in your arms, in never left."

Masumi looked into her arms, the kitten still there as always. "W-where am I?' She asked faintly. Looking down, she seen the landscape rushing by her. She gasped.

"You are a sorceress so I am taking you to my castle." He said plainly.

"B-but why? Who are you?" She studded, in shock she was in the hands of a demon, who could easily slice her throat and kill her.

"Its wise not to ask to many questions to a demon who could easily slit your throat."

She gulped.

"I will answer because you are my new servant. If I am to get respect, I guess I must give it first."

She stayed silent. 'Servant?'

" I am Sesshomaru, lord of the western lands. You shall be my new sorceress servant. I will take you to my castle where you can stay. In return you must teach me the magic you seem to know. Understand?"

She slowly nodded. "Your a demon? Lord of the western lands?"

"Hai."

"Your the one, I have heard of to hate half demons."

"Hai." He grinned because he knew that the girl in his arms was terrified. He loved that.

"Well...kill me now." She closed her eyes.

"Why human? I just said I needed you mind for the learning of magic."

With her eyes still closed, she took the hood of her head. Revealing brown hair, and brown cat ears. "I-I am a half cat demon."

His grip on her tightened.

"As long as you do as I say, I will stand the fact you are a half demon." He growled. He was annoyed with that fact. And even more annoyed that she had CAT demon blood running through her veins.

She just nodded and fell asleep uneasy in his arms. ' Sumi, don't worry. No matter what happens you be safe.'
