Chapter 1

Sesshomaru trotted down the road Rin clinging to his leg. "We'll rest here." He glanced back at Jaken who was sitting down.

Sesshomaru began walking off. "Master Sesshoumaru, where are you going?"

"To get food" Sesshoumaru replied emotionlessly.

"Ah, um yes." Jaken said.

Sesshomaru was walking when he saw a miko staring at the moon on a hill. The moons pale surface seemed to reflect in her saddened eyes.

She suddenly turned around obviously sensing something. "Who's there, show yourself!" Kikyo said pulling out her bow and arrow. Sesshomaru stepped out of the shadows and glanced calmly at her weapons.

Kikyo slowly put it away and stepped forward. Sesshomaru watched her carefully, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Kikyo, seeming weak,(lack of souls I guess) stumbled and fell off the hill and into Sesshomaru who caught her easily. Sesshomaru said nothing but his raised eye brow as was enough mocking Kikyo needed.

Kikyo stared at Sesshomaru her face turning bright red as he continued to hold her.

Kikyo's pov-

'Why is Sesshoumaru staring at me like that?' Kikyo thought glancing away then back at Sesshomaru.

"Pitiful human, can't even walk straight." Sesshomaru mused dropping Kikyo. 'Why'd he drop me? Aside from the fact I wasn't moving…' Kikyo thought menally scolding herself for her stupid expressions.. Sesshomaru began to walk away back toward Rin and Jaken.

"Where are you going?" Kikyo asked getting up and pushing the dirt off her outfit.

Sesshomaru didn't even glance back. "It's none of your concern." He replied icily.

"Well, then bye." Kikyo said turning back to the moon, slightly upset that she'd soon be alone. Although she couldn't say that Sesshomaru was very good company.

Sesshomaru turned over and stared at her, apparently wondering why she seemed to care one minute, and toss him out of her thoughts the next. 'He's staring at me again, great I look really graceful today.' She sighed as she thought to herself.

Sesshomaru's pov-

'Why is it that this human wench intrigues me so much? Her eyes, they're so sad, almost like they shed invisible tears.' Sesshomaru thought with pity.

"Tell me wench, why are you so miserable." He asked rudely.

Kikyo was silent for a minute. "Why ask? It's not as if a lord like you really cares." She said turning around to face him.

Sesshomaru didn't reply. Only narrowed his eyes.

"It's not like I have any reason to be happy anyway." Kikyo replied a small smile.

'Hm, I almost feel bad for her'

"InuYasha…" Kikyo began "I'm sad, because of InuYasha."

"You mean my idiot half brother? Who doesn't hate him?" Sesshomaru asked a small unoticable smirk spreading across his face.

"I don't hate him…I love him…" Kikyo said taking her hands and clasping them together.

Sesshomaru looked up his smirk gone. 'What a fool! How could anyone love him?'

"But…He only loves Kagome. So, I feel sad." Kikyo said a sighing and looking towards the ground. She looked at. "But a demon like you wouldnt' understand that."

Sesshomaru stayed in his place. His own way of telling her to continue was to tell her nothing at all. ANd she seemed to understand that.

"InuYasha is in love with my own reincarnation! Kagome…" She said angrily. "Kagome has stolen at least half my soul. To keep myself alive I must feed on dead Maidens souls…" Kikyo explained.

"Why live then?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I want to have my revenge on Naraku, the half demon that tricked InuYasha and me to betray each other." Kikyo said looking away again.

Sesshomaru followed her gaze. "Then, I will kill Naraku"
