DISCLAIMER- I don't own Inuyasha however I do own Anya and the other original characters I put into this story.

Chapter four- Anya and Sesshomaru

Anya walked along the river bank looking at her reflection and listened to the peaceful babbling of the water rippling by, when she caught a scent and gave a small smile. She and Inuyasha's half-brother Sesshomaru came out of the forest with his companions, Rin and Jaken. Unlike Inuyasha and Anya who were only half-demon, Sesshomaru was a full-fledged demon. Anya walked up to him.

"ANYA! YOU'RE HURT!" Rin yelled. Anya looked down and saw the bandages around her chest realizing that she accidentally forgot her kimono top back at Kaede's hut. Oh well, she had more at the castle, besides that kimono top was all torn from the fight and was useless now. Anya bent down and gave Rin a comforting, motherly almost smile.

"Don't worry. Inuyasha's friends helped me," Anya said as Sesshomaru walked up to her. She stood back up to her full height and turned to face Sesshomaru. She just reached above his shoulder despite being very tall herself.

"Who did you fight sister?" he said in his usual cold, emotionless voice. Anya put her hands on her hips and looked up at him amused.

"Now if I didn't tell Inuyasha who, I don't think I need to tell you Sesshomaru," Anya said calmly. Sesshomaru highly respected Anya for being so powerful and keeping the Westlands so protected, but she still had ways of annoying him.

Anya took a deep breath, "Fine, I had a run in with Naraku," Anya said. Sesshomaru sighed.

"Who else? You got into another fight. I know you," he said obviously becoming irritated.

"Yes you do Sesshomaru. If you must know Kikyo and I exchanged a few words before Naraku found me. Kikyo ran off when Naraku and I began to fight," Anya said smiling. Sesshomaru knew that whenever Anya said she and someone else 'exchanged a few words' that meant that they had actually fought. Rin who stopped listening a while ago was currently catching fish in the river as Jaken turned to Anya annoyed. He didn't understand why Sesshomaru continued to check up on this girl. Sure she was his sister but she was a half-demon what did he gain from asking her such questions?

"You are wasting Lord Sesshomaru's time!" he croaked. Anya glared at Jaken with murderous eyes then looked back up at her older half-brother.

"Tell me something Sesshomaru. It's been bothering me for a while now. You hate half-demons and humans, especially Inuyasha. But you highly respect and watch out for me. Why is that?" she asked curiously. Sesshomaru didn't answer; instead he turned and walked off, his companions following him. Anya sighed and shook her head; she knew he wouldn't answer her, he never did. He truly was a man of few words but that never stopped her from asking her questions. She looked at the babbling river one more time before continuing back to her castle to tell her army that she was okay.

I hope you all liked this chapter. I wanted to put some interaction between Anya and Sesshomaru. Anyway, chapter 5 will come soon, maybe tomorrow . Don't forget to review!
