Chapter 2

The sun was high and Sessho-maru found the house easily. The strange metal objects that had been there the night before were no longer in front of the house and it looked empty. He was just about to step out of the cover of bushes when the door opened. He looked in wonder at the girl who came out of the strange house. The girl was not thin like the females of his time though she was not fat but certainly not thin. She had shoulder blade length brown hair with strange blonde streaks in it. Her brown eyes are what caught his attention. Her eyes seemed old. Older then even him. And he was old. She was wearing a strange black and red dress that seemed to fit her perfectly. Under the dress she wore some strange black pants. She was not a beautiful as the females he had seen, human and youkai alike, but she had a strange aura around her. The girl looked around and let a long sigh out. "Where is he!" she said in an annoyed voice as she turned to go back into the house. Suddenly she whirled around. "Who is there!?" she said barely above a whisper. Sessho-maru was shocked when she looked back into her eyes. There he saw that they had changed slightly. They seemed to have grown darker and the pupils contracted slightly as she scanned the undergrowth in which he hid. She then stood straight and sighed. "I'm getting too old for this." she said as she rubbed the back of her head. Sessho-maru watched in curiosity as she walked around to the other side of the house. Sessho-maru was thankful that the house was surrounded in thick undergrowth as he darted into the undergrowth that was on the other side of house. He watched as she ran her hand down the trunk of a large water oak. "If you wish you can come out now. I promise not to bite." she said as she continued to look at the tree. 'She knows I am here?!' he thought as he took a step back further into the undergrowth. "Yes I can tell you are there. You don't do a good job at hiding your aura. I like it. It's powerful, but if you don't want to come out fine. Just don't do anything that you will regret." she said turning to face the place in which he stood. Sessho-maru's eyes widened slightly at the sight of her. The wind had picked up carrying her scent to his nose. The scent was strange. It was ningen hai, but there was something else also. The scent of the wind covered with a scent he didn't recognize. "Now that you have seen me. Someday I wish to see you." she said. And with that she turned and walked back to the house. As she walked he caught a couple words from a song that she sung under her breath.

Child born of wilderness...

Child born in to emptiness...

He watched as she walked into the house. 'What in Kami's name is she?!' he thought as he looked around the grounds. Suddenly he heard the low roar and looked to see that one of the metal objects was moving and coming to the side of the house were the door was. Then the girl came out of the door with a large grin on her face. "You guys are late." she said looking at the person that was behind a strange wheel. "Yea whatever. We are never late. You are just early." the boy said teasingly. "Yea whatever Zach." she said as she opened a side door. He could see past her and saw that one other male was there along with two other females. There was also a male sitting in the seat next to the Zach boy. "Are you ready to PARTY!?" one of the girls asked. "I guess so." she said as she leaned against the side of the thing. "What's wrong Morgan?" the other girl asked. "Nothing Brianna. Kelly please calm down." Morgan said as she pushed the pale skinned boy gently out of the way. "What I don't even get a hello just a push out of the way?" the boy asked. "Hello Matthew." Morgan said as she crawled into the thing. "Man Zach you could borrow a bigger car?" she asked as she took a seat next to Matthew. "No. My mom and dad said either this or we can walk." he said as he started the engine.

Back to present

I don't know why I watched her. This Sessho-maru watching a ningen female. But she was different. I watched her for a full turn of the moon before I made my move. I had learned everything about this land and time. Well as much as I needed to blend in properly. I created a new identity as a ningen when I first went and saw her face to face. I went to what she called school. I had been there once before. But only to observe. Not to interact. But this time I enrolled as a student. I remember the first day as if it were today.

Flash Back.

Sessho-maru looked around the school grounds. In his human form he was shorter. His markings gone. White hair now a dark brown and gold eyes a grayish green. He looked like a normal teenage human boy. Well as normal a teenage boy with amazing looks can look in a world of mortals and their imperfections. As he looked around the grounds he noticed many of the females watched him hungrily as he walked out of the office and on to the grounds. Finally he spotted Morgan's friend Zach in the middle of the grassy part of the small grounds. He walked over to him. "Excuse me?" he said tapping the boy's shoulder. "Oh hey. You must be the new kid." he said turning. "I'm Zach Wally. What's your name?" he continued. "I am Ryan Lark." Sessho-maru said. "Cool. What do you need?" Zach asked looking at him. "Would you tell me where these rooms are?" Sessho-maru asked showing him his schedule. "Um well since you are in the same grade as my friend Morgan you should ask her. Oh there she is." Sessho-maru turned as Zach pointed behind him. Then he saw Morgan hurrying to them. He watched as she dropped her back pack and came over them. "Hey Zach. Who's this? New blood?" she asked her voice full of laughter. "Yea. This is Ryan Lark. He's in your grade. Why don't you help him find these rooms. I don't think the principle will mind. So you could take the day off and show him around." Zach said. "If you say so. I'm Morgan Stone by the way. Sorry that my friend is so ready to dump you on me. I guess he thinks that my personality must have changed over night." Morgan said eyeing Zach. "Sorry." Zach said putting his hands up. "Oh never mind. Come on let's see what classes you have?" she said taking the paper. "Cool you have all your classes with me. Even band. What do you play?" she asked looking up at him happily. "I do not play an instrument. They told me that this was the only class that had room for me. I guess that I will sit there." Sessho-maru said looking down at her with a blank expression. "Very well. Come on." she said grabbing his wrist and pulling him along beside her as he walked back into the building. Sessho-maru saw that all of the females that were there eyed Morgan with hatred.

Sessho-maru followed Morgan around the school as the day past. She seemed to be slightly different at this school then at her home. Here she seemed more withdrawn and alone. Even when she was surrounded by her so called friends. She seemed alone. "Come on it's lunch time." she said as he followed her out of the building. "Isn't your back pack heavy?" he asked as he walked along side her. "You better believe it." she said smiling up at him. Sessho-maru could tell that this was no smile but a mask that she wore. 'How do I know this?' he asked himself. "Why do you not leave your books in your locker?" he asked as they passed a large group of chattering girls who glared at Morgan as they passed by. They turned bright red as Sessho-maru turned and looked at them. He gave them a disgusted look before turning away and following Morgan into the lunch room. " No point, well I think you can get your lunch by yourself so I'll see you later?" Morgan said looking up at him. "Yes." he said dully as he got in line for lunch. He had filled out the papers for the school so that he did not have to pay for this lunch with a little lie since he had no money for this time or land. But if his nose was wrong, which it never was, there was some strange things in their lunches. After going though the line he looked around for a space to sit. He saw many but every single female seemed to be ushering him over to where they were. Except for the table that Morgan was sitting. Quickly he swerved though the countless females to her table. When he sat his tray down she looked up from her notebook and smiled at him. "Well I thought you would have sat with those guys." she said nodding toward a table filled of females. "Please." he said taking his seat. "Oh Ryan. This is my friends. This is Brianna Michales." she said pointing to one of the girls. "Hey." she said not looking up at him. "This is Kelly Winterborne." she said pointing to the next girl. "Hey. Hey. Hey." she said bouncing in her seat. "Kelly calm down." Morgan said absent mindedly. "This is Zach Jonhson. Matthew Bendict. And John Leake." she said pointing each out. The boys nodded. "Hey do I get no introduction." a blonde headed girl said as she took a seat next to Brianna. "I said my friends." she said under her breath. "And this is Shay Hinton." she said waving her hand at her. "What is this?" he asked as he played with his food that was on his tray. "I have no idea." Matthew said as he eyed it. "Careful might be poisoned." he added. Sessho-maru eyed the pale skinned boy. "Don't Matthew. You're going to scare him away." Morgan said as she wrote not even looking up at them. "The food is not poisoned. It is just fine just not as good as we wish." she said. Sessho-maru wasn't hungry. He never was so he just pushed the tray away. "What are you writing?" he asked looking at the notebook. "A story." she said grinning at him. "Could I read it?" he asked now curious. "Maybe when I'm done." she said playfully. Then she went back to writing. The days past and that was how it was. Morgan was never changing. Her friends did not seem to notice that it was a mask that she wore and not her face.
