Previously on Shadow Of The Wind Runner...
Something within the great lord stirred, and without warning, a barrier was brought up, separating them from Sesshoumaru and Lilith. He heard Inuyasha scream 'Bastard' before the barrier became complete yet, it wasn't him who made the protective wall, he felt the aura of another demon, much like the bird's, and it felt like it was coming straight from his arms, that's when he looked away from the direction he had previously been looking, and noticed her, skin pale as snow, black hair with red tips, a purple full moon in the middle of her forehead with two small red stripes crossing it, forming an 'X' with a green rose in the center. Her delicate fingers had now turned into a deadly weapon as they gained large, thick claws.
The place from where the flames had pierced her body now shone a bright hue of blue's, and the aura that had been so small, so insignificant now hit him strongly, debating his own power, yet as quickly as her appearance changed, and the aura showed itself, it dissipated, however the barrier still remained.
Chapter 8: Two is better than one
It had been 3 days since the incident and Lilith was still unconscious and the barrier was stronger than before. Sesshoumaru was patrolling for anything that may of prove itself harmful or eatable for the human female. During those days, Sesshoumaru had little to do, so he tried in vain to break the barrier, or wake the girl, what kept him patrolling was the demonic aura that swirled in the air, it wasn't the same that he had felt when the barrier was put up, and in a way, it felt much like his father's yet it's origin was nowhere to be seen or sensed and that, annoyed Lord Sesshoumaru to the point of madness.
He heard rustling in a bush a few meters ahead of him, and moved towards it, the smell of a demon wold filled his nose, he quickly covered the distance and broke down the bush, he was ready to kill the demon, yet he did not find the courage to kill it, it was nothing but a small pup, it's eyes still closed as he aimlessly tried to walk away from the great Lord. The silver haired demon slowly picked the pup and covered it with his fluffy tail, offering warmth to the freezing wolf. He was about to move further ahead when he heard the crackling noise of fire burning trees and the scent of smoke. It came from herdirection, he quickly sprinted and arrived to the scene, her hair had grown, reaching her ankles, black with red tips, and a red feather with small green ruby's in it's plumes, large claws, pointy ears, fangs that now slightly peeked out of her mouth, the black moon with a red 'X' and green rose had reappeared and a black furry tail now laid at her side, her body was engulfed in bright red flames, it burnt everything it it's reach, even the almighty lord saw himself troubled to reach her. The aura that had previously lingered in the air, with no obvious focus point, now stirred out of control and it's power grew, directing itself towards Lilith. Before he could even react her eyes shot open, but they were no longer the green orbs he had seen before, no, they had turned a bloody red, the fire that burnt the vegetation around her quickly settled down, and moved into the girl, before two orange flaming wings shot out of her back, no bones or feathers, the were but flames.
Lilith's now red eyes fell onto the lord, they were filled with confusion and worry.
'' What's happening?!'' She screamed at him.
Sesshoumaru but stared at her, he too, had no idea of what was happening, the barrier that had proven itself so powerful and solid up until now finally fell, and everything calmed, the auras and the flames now in control. Sesshoumaru took in Lilith's new form and scent, no doubt she smelled like a demon, yet the human blood still ran in her veins, he couldn't say she was a half-demon, in no way, her scent and a half ling's scent were completely different.
''Lilith!'' Kagome screamed as she ran towards Sesshoumaru. ''Where's Lilith?''
''Kagome? What happened to me?!'' Inuyasha's crew look at the new Lilith, panic writing in her face.
That was when, by instinct, she lifted her legs to her chest and propelled herself up, standing on her own to feet, much to her surprise. '' I...I can walk?'' She looked at everyone as she gave one...two...three steps forward, stetting out that she was awake, and very much alive. She looked at Sesshoumaru, remembering that he had been the one to save her, her eyes quickly grew soft and tender as she walked towards him, standing away from him but a distance of two steps.
''Thank you.'' She bowed. ''Lord Sesshoumaru.''
And as the words left her lips, a small whimpering came from Sesshoumaru's shoulder, and his boa's fur quickly moved, before a small puppy emerged from the white fur, an immediate contrast of white fur on black, it was a small creature. It opened his eyes, showing a beautiful purple iris, it seemed to grow by the second, as it's ear grew larger and fur grew all over it's body.
The wolf pup readied itself and jumped onto Lilith's arm's, it's body quickly grew as it reached her body, the added weight made the girl fall onto the ground, as she brought herself up, the wolf was not the size of your common German Shepard Dog. It liked her face has she looked at the Lord again.
''Where did you find him?''
''Behind a bush.''
''What i-?''
''Demon Wolf''
''How did it grow so fast?''
''Don't know.''
''Can I keep it?''
''It appears to like you.''
''Welcome to the family...'' Lilith pondered for awhile. ''...Shadow...do you like it?'' The wolf quickly howled, and in the short talk that she had with Sesshoumaru, Shadow had grown to the size of Kirara's flying form.
''It's a bond demon.'' Sango said.
''Huh?''
''It's a demon that chooses someone, be it demon, half demon or human to serve, that's why it grew so fast, it choose you.''
''Oh... but, I don't want him...'' She looked at Shadow. ''..Him?'' The wolf gave a nod of approval. '' I don't want him to serve me, I want him to be my friend.'' She gave a heartwarming smile at the black wolf.
Sesshoumaru felt a strange feeling within him as he stared at the girl's warm smile, as she played with the wolf that he had found, that he choose to save.
He stared at her while she got up on her own two feet, and moved towards him, and even if he wanted to speak, he could not, he had never had a female do this without his authorization, she had her arms around his neck as she hugged him tight, her intoxicating smell of roses and ash filled his nostrils.
''Once again, thank you Lord Sesshoumaru.'' She said as she backed away from him.
'Mine'...
