Sorry for taking forever to update this one. I have been trying many times to write it, but couldn't go anywhere. Review please.

Emberstar-phoenix lover, Thanks for edited. :D

He woke up to a humming female voice and a human scent. He quickly observed his surroundings and within seconds he knew he had fainted not far from here. The thought of him fainting boiled his anger blood to another level.

The human girl who was humming a few feet from him did not help with his irritated mood. How dare a human stay so close to him! Eyes closed, leaning against another tree, relaxed and even humming as if she had not a worry in the world. He wanted to chop that head off and stop that insulting sound.

Did she think he was weak because he was injured? Was that why she was so bold in his presence? This was all wrong! Humans were supposed to be afraid of demons! He would show her just how terrifying he could be! After he was done with her, she would never dare to get close to any demon ever again. If she was still alive that is.

The wind shifted softly as he tried to draw out his glowing poison whip. The very same whip that had nearly cut her head off before, but what happened next made him wanted to strangle her more than ever. He could not lift a finger!

Damn his luck!

Her scent assaulted his nose once more, but this time it did not come from the human, but from himself. He looked down and saw that his chest was bare except from the fabrics that wrapped around his stomach. It had the same patterns as the human girl's kimono. His jaw jagged, his teeth clenched, his eyes blood red, he let out an irritated growl. How dare a human touch him?!

A mere human!

She opened her eyes at his growl and on her face was the brightest smile he had ever seen. Smiling at him.

AT HIM!

"You're awake?" she exclaimed in excitement.

Why was she so happy? Maybe she wasn't sane?

As he recalled, he was aiming the whip for her head before so why was she saving him? What was her motive? Did she want something from him?

As much as he wanted to kill her he was an honorable demon and he would not kill those who had saved him. He would give her whatever she want from him and be done with her. He did not like to owe anyone, especially not a human.

"I'm so glad you are awake. I know you're strong and such wounds could not do any real harm to you, but I couldn't help but worry," she hurried towards the demon. He let out a warning hiss and she paused in her wave.

"Right, sorry. I won't come any closer," she smiled.

Sesshomaru was more than confused by her actions. She was clearly worried about him.

Him? A stranger? A demon?!

He looked into her big, brown, doe-like eyes on her small round face. She had clear, milky, slightly sun-kissed skin. She had straight nose and her rosy lips were quite full. He concluded she was pretty.

Pretty yes, but he had seen better. There were more beautiful demonesses. Not that he cared.

He found her kimono a bit strange, but the light blue color and bird pattern over the blossom pink flowers embroider into the rich silk did justice to her figure. He found he approved of her attire.

Approved of her attire?

Since when did he care about anything anyone wore? He never bothered himself with females.

Yes, he was of age to take a mate if he wish, 492 years old, but he wasn't interested. Why bothered with those distractions when all he needed was power. A mate, he could take one anytime. What a man needed was power. He would pursue power first and deal with a mate when he felt like taking one.

Talking about age, the human before him should be in her forties since she was of age to take a mate herself.

"Are you hungry?" the human girl asked, "I don't know what you eat. I have a rabbit here; do you want some?"

"I do not eat human food." He answered coldly which earned a laugh from the girl. He shot a dagger glare her way for daring to make fun of him.

"Sorry," she said still giggling, "You remind me of the first time I met someone very dear to me," she explained.

He didn't care. He just wanted to be able to move and be out of here.

"Shut up" he commanded after it seemed like she would never stopped her rambling. How could someone talk so much? He hated chatting and only said what's important. Her talked was extremely annoying. Especially when his mood was at its worse for he couldn't move an inch.

He was glad that she followed his order and finally sat back by the tree she had sat before and closed her big mouth. He couldn't wait to get out of here.

Away from her.

"Why did you save me?" he was curious. Her eyes brighten up at his question. The fact that he was talking to her. He cursed himself inwardly knowing he had just opened an opportunity for the human to talk again. But he had to know.

"Of course I would save you," she said as if that would answer everything.

"I am a demon," he stated making sure that she had not mistaken him for a human because of her ignorant lack of knowledge.

"Clearly," she smiled.

"And you're not afraid of me?" he wanted to know.

"No. You are kind," once again she smiled.

He let out another growl.

"Or not," she quickly added.

"What do you want from me?" he asked. Her jawed opened, eyes widened, as if such the thought had never crossed her mind. "What do you want from me?" he repeated.

"Nothing," she answered.

He was about to argue that there must be something she wanted but he sensed unwelcomed guests heading their way.

Demons!
