2. Arrogance is bliss!

Nana's POV

I opened my eyes slowly, my whole body felt heavy and weighed down from the lack of air I had received, stars met my tired eyes. 'What a great view…' I thought staring up at the twinkling abyss over head before shutting my eyes again and being swallowed again by the darkness.

-I was floating in an infinite abyss of darkness and silence. My body lay somewhere cold, Won't you wake me from this nightmare?- "…?..na? Nana-sama?" Rin soft voice reached my ears, she sounded worried, I couldn't imagine why. I opened my eyes and looked over at the small girl who smile at me happily. It was daylight now, I noted, early morning to be exact. "Yay! Nana-sama is ok!" Rin exclaimed flinging her arms around me, I winced slightly, my body was kinda swore. I sat up slowly, Rin sitting back on her knees and smiling warmly. "Rin! Hurry up and get that disgusting creature moving! Lord Sesshomaru will return soon and want to leave!" A nasally little voice yelled to my right, I looked over to find the speaker, my anger already rising. What I found was an ugly toad like creature wielding a staff that had two heads on it, grinding my teeth I forced a smile at the gross green thing. "I dare hope you weren't referring to me?" I said through gritted teeth, he glared at me. "Of course I am you stupid girl!" He replied loadly, Rin frowned before yelling at him. "Be nice master Jaken! She's our new friend!" She yelled at the toad creature named Jaken. "Quiet you silly girl! And you," He pointed to me with his staff, "Hurry up, you stupid ugly human! Lord Sesshomaru is not a patient demon!" He barked in his annoying little voice. "Ugly huh?" I didn't even bother to smile anymore, standing I turned to the creature, he wasn't more than 2 feet tall. "Stupid human huh?" I glared down at him, my fingers twitching. "Well I got news for you, ya freak little toad, I'm not human!" I snapped my fingers toward him, a snake made of black flames proceeded to chase him around in circles and nip at his behind.

"Hmph, maybe you'll think twice before ya speak to rudely to me next time!" I exclaimed with a satisfied grin, I turned to Rin, then I realized something. "How did we get here anyway?" I asked looking around the unfamiliar area confused. "Lord Sesshomaru carried you here, he didn't mean to attack you yesterday! Right Sesshomaru-sama?" She was looking behind me, I followed her gaze, already knowing it was the guy from yesterday. Suddenly I wanted to run, fear bubbling up inside like a boiling pot of tea. 'Whats wrong with me? I shouldn't be intimidated by some guy! I'm Nana Osaki! I'm a powerful Vampire!' I told myself, standing my ground with defiance. He was glaring at me with those odd but gorgeous golden eyes of his, I glared back with my own azure eyes. After what seemed forever he broke the thick silence that had fallen over us, "Its time to go, Rin." He stated and walked away, I blanched. 'What an arrogant jerk!' I thought, "Hey! Whats your problem? Huh?" I yelled after him ,already catching up. He turned on me so fast I didn't even have time to register that he had even stopped, I slammed into him to the second time in two days. I glared up at him, he glared menacingly back. "Mind your tongue woman! I am only enduring your company for Rin's sake." He said coldly, I actually shivered at the sound of his voice so close, his breath skating across my face. This close up he looked even more handsome, his golden eyes seeming to swirl slightly. He growled before resuming his walk, turning his back on me. I didn't pursue him this time, Rin skipped up beside me. "Don't worry, he's not really as mean as he likes to pretend." She whispered with a grin, I heard him growl low enough Rin probably didn't hear. 'Yeesh, this guys scary. How does Rin stand him?'

We traveled nearly the whole day, Rin chattering away about how kind Sesshomaru really was, I was still skeptical however. She told me all about how he had brought her back to life after she'd been killed by wolves and how he'd continued to care for her since. Rin was at this moment sleeping soundly in my lap, we rode on this large dragon- Ah-Un I discovered was its name later. My eyes followed Sesshomaru's tall figure just ahead of us, I couldn't seem to drag my eyes away from him. Even if he was an arrogant self centered jerk, he was still very beautiful to look at.

Sesshomaru's POV

I couldn't take my mind off her, she was so irritating and yet so intoxicating! I had wanted nothing more than to rip out her throat earlier, but her scent reached me before I had the chance, it was so lush and as gorgeous as she was, and it irritated me to no end! How could this creature have such a strong affect on me? I continued to scowl, listening to Rin's sweet little voice telling Nana about me. Sighing, I glanced back to find that Nana was staring at me. Scowling again I stared ahead, my castle not far out of sight. 'Almost home…' I thought with a sigh.
