I do not own Inuyasha! Only my OC(S)!
The next morning I was shook awake. I opened my eyes and turned onto my other side to be faced with white fabric and black boots. I looked up to see Sesshomaru looking down at me.
"Why do you have blood on you? And why do I smell your father scent?" Sesshomaru asked me and I sat up looking down at myself.
I noticed that there was blood on the sleeves of my kimono and a few spots on my pants. Not to mention my hands and shoes. I looked back up at Sesshomaru biting the inside of my cheek feeling like I was in trouble by the way his eyes were staring at me.
"I-I killed a bandit." I told him and then it hit me.
I had killed someone. I took someones life, but it was to save my own, and not to mention to protect Rin.
"You did?" he asked sounding a bit surprised.
I nodded my head.
"I had too. It was to protect myself and Rin. Even though I had sent her to find Jaken." I told him.
"And where was Jaken?" he asked.
"Here at the camp." I lied, I didn't want the imp to get in trouble, "Rin and I had went off to find a stream to wash off. We found one, but there were five bandits there. We were going to leave, but they tried to capture us, I sent Rin to get Jaken, while she did that I fought the bandits. Not good, but enough to knock out three, and kill one. I'm sure one of the three died from their wounds though."
"You said there were five. What happened to the other?" he asked.
"My father showed up, ripped his heart out and helped me get back to Rin, and Jaken." I told him, "He didn't know who I really was. I gave him a fake name."
"Hm, come with me." Sesshomaru said and I stood up.
Where were we going? I wondered to myself as we walked through the forest.
We stayed quiet, until we reached a stream. I gulped seeing three bodies on the ground and blood around them. I gagged a bit, but held my vomit.
"Wash off." he said before looking at the dead men on the ground and I nodded walking over to the stream.
I took off my kimono top and began to wash that as best as I could. I couldn't get the blood off the sleeves, so I cut them off with a dagger I found. I used the sleeve to wash the blood off my pants and then my shoes. I let my kimono dry as I put on one of my shirts.
"You fought these men on your own?" he asked as I walked over to the man that he examined.
"Yes, it was mostly luck though. I was scared and had no idea what I was doing." I told him looking down at the man, "I think I'm going to be sick."
I ran over to the bushes and emptied out my stomach. I wiped my mouth and walked over to the stream. I drunk some water and splashed some onto my face.
"Hmp." I heard Sesshomaru say as if he found what I did was funny.
Did he find it funny that I got sick from looking at a dead body? Damn that dog!
"What's so funny?" I asked him as I grabbed my kimono folding it.
"It's just you killed these men and you get sick by it." he said and I stared at him for a moment.
"I had no choice. They were going to r-r-r-" I began, but stopped.
I couldn't even say the word. I felt disgusted at them and glad that they were dead. I wished the others were.
"They did not touch you did they?" Sesshomaru asked and I shook my head.
"No, they were about too, when something inside me snapped and I fought back." I told him.
"Hm, it seems you have a little bit of dog demon instinct. You were in danger with no way of getting out of it. Like a cornered dog you fought back for a chance to be free." Sesshomaru said.
"Oh, I see." I said.
"You did not change?" Sesshomaru asked me and I shook my head.
"I don't think so." I told him.
"Hn, let's go." Sesshomaru said and walked away.
I followed him back to the campsite. I flinched when he kicked Jaken awake. Which made the imp shout in anger, until he noticed that it was Sesshomaru that had awoken him. He cried out an apology, which woke Rin up.
"We are leaving." Sesshomaru said, and placed Rin on A-Un.
I got on behind her, while Jaken jumped on behind me. A few days passed, since then. Nothing really hasn't happened since then and Sesshomaru has hardly left us when we camped. He did leave, but only for an hour or so.
"What's that sound?" I asked Jaken as we flew.
"What sound?" Jaken asked me.
I could hear buzzing in the distant.
"A-Un, down." Sesshomaru said and A-Un quickly landed in the forest.
Sesshomaru landed next to the dragon with his hand on one of his swords.
"Human, get off." Sesshomaru said and I got off of the dragon, "A-Un, leave."
Leave? What!? Why is he making me stay?
"What? Why am I staying?" I asked him as the buzzing got louder.
"They are after you." he said.
"They? Who are they?" I asked him as giant wasps appeared around us.
I jumped and latched onto Sesshomaru armless kimono's sleeve.
"What in the hell are those!?" I asked him as he drew his sword.
"Naraku's poisonous wasp. They're here to take you." Sesshomaru said and my eyes widen.
How could Naraku know I was here? How did he even know who I was?
"How is it possible for him to know?" I asked Sesshomaru, while he slashed some of the wasps with his sword.
"I do not know. Have you told anyone your name, or who your father is?" Sesshomaru asked me and I nodded my head.
"Yes, the wolves and the people in the village knows my name. But that was before I knew my father made the deal with Naraku." I told him.
I'm sure Koga wouldn't tell Naraku. He seemed like he was good. Could Okimi or someone else in that village tell Naraku about me? Why though? Naraku must have asked them about me or over heard someone mentioning my name. I'm only guessing on how Naraku could find out. There could be some other reason that he knew.
My eyes widen when a wasp flew straight at me while Sesshomaru melted a few with his nails. I closed my eyes tightly and tightened up waiting for them to attack me, but it never came. I opened my eyes to see that they had stopped and began to fly away.
"What the..." I began, but stopped when I saw something coming our way at a fast speed.
Sesshomaru stepped in front of me with his sword drawn as a dust cloud surrounded us. I coughed and closed my eyes as dirt flew around us. Before I could even register what was happening I felt arms wrap around me and then nothing.
I open my eyes to see that I was being carried by someone, I didn't know. I could feel my heart beating quickly in my chest with fear.
"You're awake good." a rough deep voice said and the person, no demon that was carrying me stopped running.
"Wh-where are you taking me?" I asked him.
"To the shrine of course. Naraku wants your youki, and to kill you." the demon said.
"Why does he want to kill me? I've done nothing to him!" I told him and the demon only chuckled, "Why are you even following Naraku's orders? I'm sure a strong and fearful demon like your self wouldn't follow such a weak demon like him."
The demon stopped for a moment and scratched his head for a moment.
"Strong and fearful? You really think I am?" he asked me and I nodded my head.
"Yeah, I think Sesshomaru was even scared and he's hard to scare!" I told him.
"Well then I'll just let you go. I don't need that jewel shard anyways, since you think I'm scary and strong." he said setting me down on the ground and ran off leaving a cloud of dust behind.
I shook my head at the dumb demon. He was easy to trick, but now I was all alone in the middle of an unknown area. I began to walk the way that the demon had been running. Hoping that Sesshomaru was searching for me. I walked for a few minutes until I gave up and sat under a tree watching the sun set.
"I hope they can find me." I muttered as I closed my eyes.
I was awoken the next day by a loud clashing of metal against metal. I opened my eyes and stood up. I walked over to where the sound was coming from. My eyes went wide when I saw two men fighting against each other with swords.
I let out a gasp catching the two men attention. I gulped and began to run from them.
"Wait miss!" one of them shouted at me.
"We're not going to hurt you!" the other shouted as I kept running from them.
I ran into a forest and glanced back to see that the two men had stopped. I stopped and hid behind a tree.
"Takuma, you can't go in there! The demon doll maker will get you." a man said.
"But we have to find that woman or she will be killed by that demon, Aida!" Takuma shouted at the other man.
"She ran off, we couldn't stop her." Aida said, "Now lets go back so we can practice some more."
"Yeah, you're right. I just hope she doesn't die a painful death like the others." Takuma said and I saw the two men walk away.
I was about to walk away from that tree and out of that forest when I felt something wrap around my ankles. I let out a scream and was soon dragged off through the forest. I clawed at the ground and tried to hold on to tree roots that stuck out of the ground, but what ever had a hold of my ankles kept pulling until I let go.
As I was being dragged away I noticed some skeletons hanging from trees as I got deeper in. I gulped and hoped I wouldn't turn out like them. When the thing finally let go of my ankles I was in front of a mansion of some sorts. I stood up and dusted myself off. I looked down and noticed that my clothes were ruin. Great this was my favorite shirt!
The front door to the manor opened up and an old man came out.
"Who are you?" he asked me.
"Erm, K-Kaori." I told him nervously.
"What are you doing in this forest? It's dangerous you know." he said.
"I was dragged here by some thing." I told him.
"I see, why don't you come in and change out of those dirty strange clothes. I think I have some of my wife's old kimonos that would fit you." he said and I walked into the mansion with the old man following behind me.
The place was beautiful and was spotless it surprised me that it was hidden deep in a forest like this one.
"This way." the old man said leading me down a corridor, "It's been a while since someone has come into this forest. The village close by thinks it is haunted by an old demon who makes people who travel through the forest into dolls. It's only a story to make the young children to not sneak off in here, but I'm afraid some of the adults still believe in the tale."
I kept quiet as the old man spoke about the village, until we reached a room.
"You can change in here. My wife kimonos should be in that closet." the old man said as I walked into the room.
He closed the door and I walked over to the closet. I looked at all the silky colorful kimonos hanging. I looked through them and found a less expensive looking and easier to walk with kimono and put that on. I walked out of the room and followed the wonderful scent of cooked food. My mouth watered at the thought of eating a meal that didn't consist of mushrooms, berries, or small rodents.
"I see you found one to your liking." the old man said with a smile on his face as I walked into a giant dining hall with black square table.
"Yes, thank you for the clothes." I told him.
"You are welcome, please sit down and eat. You must be starving." the old man said and I nodded my head sitting down at the table.
"Thank you again." I told him as I filled my plate with food.
"You have quite the appetite it seems." he chuckled as I began to eat, "Yes eat as much as you like."
I stopped eating and looked at him. He had a creepy grin on his face. I stood up and was about to run, but I felt dizzy all of a sudden. I took a step away from the table and fell.
"Don't move, you'll damage the skin." the old man said as my eyes began to get heavy.
I tried to fight the sleep that falling onto me.
"P-Please l-let me g-go." I said and darkness covered my vision.
Find me Sesshomaru, please find me! I thought as I fell into darkness.
