CHAPTER 3

Kurashi woke up feeling very comfortable. It felt like she was floating on a cloud. She didn't want to move, but see could feel cold eyes staring at her. So, she opened her eyes slowly to see just who or what was staring at her. At first, she was nothing, but then as she scanned the tree tops she spotted a man. On closer inspection, she saw it wasn't a man but a Yokai. By the way he held himself he looked to be a Diayokai. He was partially hidden by the branches so she couldn't see him clearly.

Suddenly she remembered why she had fainted in the first place. The Yokai from her dreams was real. She couldn't believe this. She began frantically searching her bag for anything that would help fend off from a Yokai. She could tell from her dreams that this Diayokai was not one to be messed with. Kurashi was terrified, she had never met a Diayokai before. She had only ever heard stories and rumours. They all depicted the Diayokai to be cruel and nasty. They were powerful and had the tendency to hate humans. Killing and raping the women of lesser blood like they were common whores were what the male Diayokai loved to do.

After Kurashi couldn't find anything to ward off the Yokai, she looked down to find she was still in her hankimono (half-kimono) and nu-bakama (pants). This slightly confused her, but she was happy that the Yokai didn't do anything to her. She carefully got off the white fur she had been placed on and walked towards the tree the Yokai was sitting on. She gathered her strength and spoke to the Yokai.

"I demand to know who you are and what you are doing in my forest." She barked at the figure in the tree.

Sesshomaru couldn't believe his ears. This woman had dared to demand things of him. No one had ever been brave enough to do something like that. This woman angered him. So instead of answering her question, he bared his teeth and growled a different response.

"watch your tongue wench. Its rude to talk to one of this one's status like a common filthy human."

The girl rolled her eyes in annoyance. She then dug through her bag for something, though Sesshomaru couldn't tell for what. All he could smell was a variety of herbs emanating from her satchel. Then she smiled when she found what she was looking for. But before he could sniff out what it was she tossed a small bottle of something at him. The minute it touched his skin, it felt as though his flesh was on fire, and was being peeled away from his bones. Sesshomaru howled in pain. He looked at the girl and his beast roared to life.

Before he could stop himself, he had the girl pinned to the ground, with her hands above her head. She looked up at him with fear and a hint of something he couldn't quite figure out. Though it made his beast roar with rage and oddly desire. He managed to reign his beast in before it did anything else to the girl. However, he didn't let go of the girl, in case she had more of that deadly herbal blend. In a low growling voice, he spoke,

"what did you just throw at me wretch. Poison?"

His face was inches from hers. She figured her mixture of wolfbane, deathly nightshade and the crystalized blood of a lesser venomous snake Yokai would knock the man out, or at least stun him long enough to flee. But the potion barely affected the Yokai. He had her pinned in an awkward position. Her hands were pinned above her head, while the rest of her was pinned by his body. "this is it." She thought, "this is where I lose my virginity. And to a Yokai at that." She could see the beast in his eyes craving her skin. The red eyes had said it all. His beast wanted to tame her wild spirit, to claim her as its whore. But instead of feeling depressed or defeated, to her utter horror, she felt aroused. She could keep it from the demon, but a part of her wanted him to take her. Kurashi was disgusted with herself, though she made certain the Yokai couldn't sense it.

The Yokai spoke to her with a growl. He demanded that she tell him what was in her potion. She grinned and decided she wasn't going to tell him. Instead she looked him in the eye and spat in his face. He jumped back in surprise, but not far enough to release her from his grip. When he wiped his face, he looked at Kurashi with pure rage. She could feel it pouring off him in waves. For a split moment, she knew she had screwed up royally.
