Before Sesshy could tell me to let go of him, a demon ran towards us. I could somehow tell, even though he was coming from behind me, and I whipped around, glaring at him. Before, without Sesshomaru with me, I had no confidence that I would even have a chance of killing any of these demons, but now, with Sesshomaru by my side, I knew it was time to kick some demon butt so that's what I did!

As the demon charged towards us, I looked around for my sword, which they must've taken away from me after they knocked me out. I soon saw it was laying on the ground, still in it's sheath. So I decided that I wouldn't have time to grab it now and simply punched the demon in the face. The demon fell to the ground and I quickly ran to my sword, taking it from it's sheath and turning around to see that Sesshomaru went back to killing the demons without any trouble at all and that the demon that I had so rudely punched in the face before was up and very pissed off.

The demon walked towards me, bleeding slightly from the punch I had given him. "Alright, I can do this..." I muttered, getting into my fighting stance and preparing to kill the demon. The closer the demon got, the stranger I felt. I felt as though power had begun to flow through me, and it seemed to be coming from my sword. I looked at my sword to see that it was glowing! A sort of red light was coming from it and as I looked at it my vision blurred and I began to... I don't really know! I noticed my finger nails growing sharper and I felt an odd surge of strength and urge to kill anyone and everyone nearby, even Sesshy! But why? I... At that moment, I felt as though it wasn't me, and I guess it wasn't.


"Suki! Stop this, now!" Sesshomaru's voice called to me, and I began to feel like myself, and I could now see what I was doing. Sesshomaru's sword was pushing mine back! I was trying to kill Sesshomaru! My eyes widened and I looked down at the ground into a puddle of another demon's blood to see a demon who had an odd sense of familarity to it. She had long silver hair and cat ears along with sharp teeth. Her eyes were blood red and they carried the urge to kill within them, but, strangely enough, she was crying!

I gasped when I saw her hair turning black, and her eyes turning a very pretty blue, her teeth dulling down to human sharpness and her cat ears disappearing to reveal...

Myself!

"What...?" I bursted into tears, I didn't like to kill, that couldn't have been me! I'm a human! Not a demon! I'm a foolish human! "What happened, Sesshy?" I dropped my sword in the puddle of blood and fell to my knees, crying so much that it hurt to cry anymore.

"Calm down, Suki." Sesshomaru put his sword away and sat down next to me, picking me up. "We'll go back to Rin and Jaken and I'll let you rest."


Once we got back to Rin and Jaken the first thing I did was go back to sleep, but I was soon awoken by voices.

"Rin, there's a river near by, why don't you see if you can get some fish?" Jaken's voice said.

"Okay!" Rin chirped, humming as she walked off.

After a moment, Sesshomaru and Jaken began to talk, so I did what anyone would do. I pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped!

"What happened, m'lord? With the human?"

"She's not human, Jaken."

"What? That's impossible! She smells just like a human, how could she not be a human?"

"She only smells that way because she's always around humans, if she wasn't around humans, she would smell like a half-breed." Sesshomaru explained, and I almost began to cry when I remembered how Sesshomaru spoke of his half-breed brother, Inuyasha. He hated half-breeds! Does that mean he'll hate me too? "Haven't you noticed she's starting to smell less and less like a human since she isn't around them anymore?"

"Now that you mention it she does smell a bit different then when we first found her... but a weakling like her couldn't even be a half-demon!"

"Weakling? No. You should've seen her, Jaken. When that demon came after her, she was completely different. Her eyes were that of a demon, as for her strength? She was almost as strong as me. She's definitely stronger than my fool of a brother."

"But Inuyasha is terribly weak, of course she's stronger than him!" Jaken laughed, probably at the thought of Inuyasha, though I don't see why they find him so amusing. "You don't think she'll lose control again anytime soon, do you? I mean, with Rin around you may want to keep an eye on her, she could easily ki-"

"Be quiet Jaken, Rin's back." Just as Sesshomaru said this, I heard Rin giggling happily and her feet skipping closer and closer to where we were.

"Lord Sesshomaru! I got some fish!"

I wouldn't hurt any of them if I... lost control, would I?


"Suki? Are you okay?" Sesshomaru asked, pulling me from my thoughts.

I put on a fake smile and nodded. "Never better! I'll be sure to not wander, that was really a close one with those demons! If you hadn't've come, I would've been demon breakfast! Haha!"

Sesshomaru didn't reply, instead he sat next to me and had a look of deep thought to him. I really hope I wasn't troubling him...


'What? I'm asleep? You'd think I'd had enough of sleep today!' I thought as I went into dream world...

'Mom?' What was mom doing in my dream? . . . Who is that with her, dad? He does seem a little familiar, but I don't remember my dad too well, so what would I know?

I took a closer look at the man, he sort of looked like the demon me I saw in the puddle of blood. The only difference was he had short hair, his eyes were gold, he was a guy, and he didn't seem to have the urge to kill.

Could it be I really am a half-breed? That couldn't be my dad! It couldn't! No, I want this dream to end, NOW! I'm not a half-breed, I'M NOT A HALF-BREED!

"I'M NOT A HALF-BREED! I'M NOT! I'M A HUMAN, I'M A HUMAN!" I heard as I woke up, who was yelling? It couldn't be me, could it?

"Suki..." Sesshomaru's voice stopped the yelling, confirming that it was, indeed, me.

I opened my eyes and frowned at Sesshomaru staring at me with a slightly bothered look in his eyes. "Sesshy... I'll always be the foolish human, Suki... not a half-breed, right? Always?"

Sesshomaru nodded. "Of course, Suki. You aren't a half-breed." He said, though I could tell he knew this was a total lie.

"Promise I'll always be me? I'll always be a weak human?"

"Promise."

"Thank you, Sesshy..."
