First I would like to thank all of my reviewers. And second I wanted to say that in this chapter Sesshomaru will be kind of out of character. Enjoy and don't forget to review.
Sesshomaru thought about it. "I will go."
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken said. "Why would you help these humans?"
Sesshomaru glared at Jaken. "I have business to handle with the wolf demon too. So prepare the things. We will leave today."
"Thank you!" Botan said.
Sesshomaru nodded and left with Jaken right behind him. Jaken made sure the two headed beasts was fully equipped with food and blankets for the humans because it would get cold were they were going. Then he made sure that Rin was clothed warmly and also checked up on the humans. About two hours after Sesshomaru agreed to go everything was ready.
They were outside looking at the forest. Botan loved nature and wanted to go exploring but now wasn't the time. Sesshomaru appeared next to her. "You will ride my demon like Rin since I doubt your fast enough to keep up with me."
Botan nodded and Sesshomaru turned to leave but before he could take another step she grabbed him by the arm. "I am truly thankful to you for saving my life and even if my friends don't show it they are thankful too."
Sesshomaru liked the warm feeling of her hand but took his arm away. "Just remember that I didn't do it just for the sake of it. I only do things if they are somehow connected to what I want." He then left leaving Botan with a small knowing smile.
Botan ran up to the beast and like Rin got on it. Sesshomaru, Yusuke and Kurama started to run and Jaken simply stood on top of the demons head. It followed Sesshomaru by flying above the forest. They flew for hours until an arrow was shot directly at them. Botan and Rin screamed as the demons wing got hit and started descending very quickly.
Before they could hit the floor, Botan materialized her oar and took Rin with her leaving Jaken to fall and get incredibly hurt. Botan flew them to a clearing. Rin was awed. "That was incredible!" she said.
Botan simply smiled and let Rin examine her oar. Sesshomaru, Kurama, and Yusuke ran towards them.
"Are you okay?" Kurama asked Botan.
"Just fine." She replied.
Sesshomaru turned to the forest. "We're not alone."
And he was right. Just a few minutes after Inuyasha came out of the forest carrying Sesshomaru's flying beast while Miroku carried Jaken.
"I think you dropped something." Inuyasha remarked.
Sesshomaru glared at him and then Kagome stepped forward. "I am truly sorry for hitting your animal, I was practicing and I didn't notice it."
Before Sesshomaru could do or say anything Miroku walked up to Botan and took her hands. "Would you bear my child?"
Botan didn't know what to say but thankfully Sango took Miroku by the ear to the other side of the clearing where she slapped him. Yusuke laughed and shook his head, it reminded him so much of someone but he didn't quite know who.
Kagome then went up to Botan. "I am sorry about him too. Um…so what's your name?"
"Botan. Yours?"
"Kagome." She responded kindly. "And if you don't mind me asking, why are you with Sesshomaru?"
Now it was Sesshomaru's turn to interrupt. "That is none of your business and I don't have time to deal with you or my insolent and idiotic brother."
Inuyasha scowled. "I am not the one who keeps wanting tot take my sword away." He said hugging his sword tightly to his chest.
Sesshomaru glared and started walking away. Botan followed and before they could go into the woods she turned and waved. "Nice meeting all of you!"
Before they could go any farther Botan stopped Sesshomaru. "What about your demon?"
"He will heal himself. Now keep walking." He replied.
Botan kept walking along with Rin and they started talking about all the pretty flowers. Rin knew a lot of the plants which is how Kurama got into the conversation. They walked and talked for hours which made a huge scowl on Sesshomaru's handsome face.
Rin made Sesshomaru stop by tugging at his sleeve. He knelt down to Rin's level and waited for her to speak. "Could we stop and eat?"
Sesshomaru nodded and told Jaken who was carrying everything to set things up as he went to sit by a tree. Botan looked at Sesshomaru. It already night and there was a full moon. As he bathed in the light of the moon he looked like a god. Botan blushed at the mere sight of him and blushed even more when he turned to look at her. She quickly averted her gaze and started talking to Kurama again who noticed her blush.
As Kurama was talking to Botan he noticed Sesshomaru looking at Botan and glared at him. After a while they went to sleep except for Sesshomaru who stayed to keep watch.
It was about four in the morning when Botan woke up from a horrible dream which almost made her cry. She didn't remember her dream but made her get up and walk outside. As soon as she did she noticed Sesshomaru under the same tree. He heard her walking towards him and looked at her. She sat next to him.
There was a comfortable silence but Botan wanted to know more about Sesshomaru. He was a complete mystery even to Rin. "Why did you save Rin?"
"Because she helped me." He responded quietly.
"She's like a daughter to you right?"
Sesshomaru didn't answer for a while. Looking up at the moon he answered. "Yes."
Botan smiled. "From what I've seen you're a great father figure to her. She told me what happened to her parents but she said she was happy with you."
Sesshomaru didn't say anything and kept looking at the moon. Botan did the same until Rin got up and rubbing her eyes she walked towards Botan. "I am cold."
Botan picked Rin up and held her in her arms. They actually looked like a family and they were picture perfect. The sun started to rise and it was time for them to continue their travels.
As they were picking up their things Sesshomaru's demon appeared. It had healed itself as Sesshomaru said. So they ran, flew for hours until they reached a cold mountain. The covered up and started climbing. It was too dangerous to fly around since many demons lived there.
They climbed for hours until they heard a scream coming from behind them. It was Rin who was captured by a flying demon. Sesshomaru quickly took out his sword and was about to slash the demon in half when another shriek was heard. Botan had been taken too and the other two who were with them were nowhere to be found. Now he had to save them both but how, the two demons were flying away. He started chasing them but before he could go anywhere Kurama showed up and quickly taking out his rose whip he killed the demon that had Botan in his claws and then proceeded to kill the other demon that had Rin. The two girls ran towards Kurama and hugged him. "Thank you." Botan said for both of them.
Kurama just smile at them while Sesshomaru was for some reason mad. They continued their journey and were soon on top of the mountain. They stopped for a moment and Sesshomaru took out his sword again. "We're surrounded."
And just a few seconds later all the demons were visible. They were right in the middle. There were too many demons for them alone. So they ran but didn't get far because the demons just blocked their way. Doing the only thing possible, Botan summoned up all her energy and produced her bow and arrow, much bigger than before. She shot it towards the sky and once a few feet above them it split into a thousands arrows. Each hitting a demon. Sesshomaru, Kurama , and Yusuke took this chance to attack all of the other demons who were still alive.
Within minutes they were dead and the boys returned to were Botan and Rin were. Yusuke headed straight for Botan. "That was amazing! I didn't know you could do that."
She smiled and was about to answer when she fainted.
The end of chapter two. Short and not great but hopefully you'll review. Bye and thanks for reading!
