Chapter 2

Sesshomaru

The walk to the bath wasn't has rough as I had originally thought I was going to be. I ended up running into a couple of minor demons which wasn't too hard for me to take care of. With my training I found that I can put up a small barrier around my person that was pumped with purification powers. So that when a demon tried to attack me they would be purified the moment they touch the barrier. It came in handy when you were fighting with the minor demons who only have kill on their minds, so when they attacked it wasn't with skill, it was just will blind rage.

I was in the middle of soaking my hair when I sensed an aura that was extremely powerful coming. It was pretty far away but I can tell it was Sesshomaru. He was in no rush to get to me; I guess he must have sensed me and realized I wasn't with my friends. I guess he is curious to see why I am all alone and unprotected. The last time he saw me I was still extremely under trained. So he must still think I am still as weak as I once had been. I don't let my aura out a lot because I noticed that demons will come more often to try and fight me. Saying that I was the perfect female they could mate with and have strong offspring. I don't know much about mating or what that even is, but I understood that kid part and that did NOT sit well with me! Like I was going to let them take my special gift away from me and give them some horrible deformed offspring. No way was I that stupid, so I keep my aura under a tight control.

I finish washing and begin to walk back to the camp I had set up. Walking through the barrier that I had set up here before I left so none of my things could get stolen. Another great power I had found that I had was the ability to put a barrier without being in it to protect things. I even had the ability to make illusion that confused people. The one I put up was a barrier that mimicked the surrounding I was in before I had my stuff all scattered around, so that if anyone came by they would see only a clearing and nothing more. I thought it was really fascinating in general. It made me feel powerful but I knew that I wasn't strong enough yet to fool someone such as a Demon lord like Sesshomaru. So I decided to give myself a rest, and just wait for him to come to me instead. So she fell into a deep sleep, knowing that once Sesshomaru got here; she would have to travel once more…where she didn't know but she was willing to anywhere to get some answers she believed she deserved at least.

Sesshomarus POV

I had decided that I was time to patrol my land again. I was good to keep your scent fresh out there so that any of the lower class creatures who thought it was a good idea to cross over into my lands would think twice. I do not give chances to leave my land; if you are uninvited then your life was mine to take. I don't show mercy to creatures that have no sense, who are controlled by their beasts and are driven to kill carelessly.

I was almost done when I smelled the scent of the young Miko that travels with my idiot half-brother. But I do not smell her with anyone out of her group. Which is odd, I find myself wanting to go see for myself why she isn't with my brother. But why should I care? I haven't seen the Miko in years, why should I concern myself with her well-being? But my beast was reacting to something, telling me I need to go to her. That she needs my help, I do not know why he is becoming so riled up by this. I have better things to do then go after some human. But something is calling me to her, and I wish to find out what it is that I am needed for. It better be good, because I will not be dragged around looking for something like I had with the vermin Naraku.

I start to walk in the direction the Miko was at, I can sense that she isn't moving. Though I don't see why she should be since it is late in the dark hours, she is most likely to be asleep. I make my walk slow; I don't feel the need to hurry to her. I will reach her by the time the sun begins to rise.

Though I do find myself stumped by the fact she is all alone. Did something happen to her friends? Or had my idiot brother done something to her to have fled the group? These were questions I knew I'd only get answered once I reached her, but I couldn't help but feel confused and that was one emotion I hated was confusion. I consider my knowledge of things to be quiet extensive considering living for such a long time. So being confused was something he wasn't used to feeling.

Though I have to say the Miko seems to have the knowledge of things that I have never heard of. And since I have never heard of it I find myself wondering if the Miko was sane. I have lived for centuries and not once have I heard of anything she had spoken of. But the Miko was a strange creature. Her indecent clothing made her look like a harlot, but she was so innocent. I could smell her purity, which made me question to why she wore such revealing clothing? Her manner of speaking was even different than anything he had heard of as well.

Maybe meeting her won't be as horrible as he thought. He could get some answers from her for once. He always had been intrigued by her since the time they first met in his father's tomb. I have a feeling this greeting between us will be interesting indeed.

Kagomes POV

I woke up before the sun had popped up behind the hills. Which wasn't normal for her, but then she felt the overwhelming aura of Sesshomaru. Her powers much have sensed his presence near and woke her up to prepare for a fight or not. He wasn't upon her yet, so she had time to dress in her Miko grab.

Once she was dressed she pulled out the fish she had stored and began to munch on it while patiently waiting for him to make his appearance.

As she was about to finish the fish, she saw a glint of silver in the distance, the sun had finally risen. And he was making his way to her slowly. She sat there and panicked for a moment, afraid that this could be her last day on earth, but something broke through panic and kept telling her that he wasn't going to killer her. That everything was going to be just fine.

He was finally upon her and at first he just stared at her. And to be honest I don't think he recognized me. I did look different than I had three years ago. I was the first to speak "hello Lord Sesshomaru, I am glad you came to find me, because I was on my way to find you" I said in a respectful tone, knowing some demon etiquette.

He looks at me for several moments before he spoke. "Why is it that you were looking for me Miko?" he said in a cold tone, I almost flinch at his tone but I held it back. I finally said "I require your assistance My Lord" I stood up and look him square in the eye. His eyes held no emotion but they did widen at my request. He glares at me and says "And why should I help a human like you? What could you possibly to do for me?" his eyes grew angry and I felt my heart jump. I quickly said "I can restore your arm for you".

His glare fades and his eye flash with an emotion I couldn't read, mainly because it was only there for a moment. We stared at each other for several long moments, feeling the size of an ant but not showing it in my face, in a small hope that my confidence will help me survive this encounter.

Sesshomaru POV

After a long nights walk I finally reach the Miko's camp. I strolled up to her with ease, but at first I hadn't recognized her. Her hair was longer and had a shine to that, it even glinted blue. Her eyes were so different know, and she wore a Miko grab. I was having a hard time believing this was the Miko I had fought side by side with to destroy the spider Hanyou.

Her voice was richer now, her vocal chords synchronizing in a haunting melody that soothed my beast.

As she asked me for my assistance I grew angry, haven been dragged here to be asked such a ridiculous thing. She had nothing to offer to me in return for my services nor did I even want to add the human in anything. Rin was enough trouble for me and this wench was more trouble than she was worth. Having seen her skill…well if you could call it that anyway, I would be saving her most the time throughout whatever she needed from me.

The moment she said she could restore my arm I was instantly intrigued by this. Is she no desperate to have my assistance to restore me my arm? Does she not realize by doing this I would be at full strength again? I could destroy her group even now with only one arm but with two…it wouldn't be a challenge.

But I was a tempting …to not have to be called weak because I lost one arm…to not have to fight lower level demons for my land because there are rumor that I can no longer can protect my lands. Her offer was becoming a real consideration.

I look at the Miko and said "If you are successful in restoring my arm, I will assist you in any request". Her first reaction was complete shock but as soon as that emotion ran across her eyes, she smiled warmly at me…and for some reason I felt pride in making her happy. I mentally shake myself for feeling too warm about her smile.

She finally says "well than let's get started shall we?" her smile gets bigger as she stands up. And for a moment I don't mind that she's a human…her smile was welcoming and I could feel myself being drawn in…and I could find myself feeling the least bit disgusted with myself. Whatever was about to happen, I welcome the challenge.

HELLO EVERYONE, sorry or the long wait, I just been busy and just so no one gets confused sesshomaru didn't get his weapon in my story. I felt that It would be too easy to put it in so I just took it out lol hope I did well, sorry if sesshomaru in a litte occ
