Sesshomaru (Inuyasha)X Sakura

He was the lord of the west and wanted only the best to care for his sick ward.

So when he sent out Jaken, he didn't expect the little imp to return with a pink haired ningen.

Sesshomaru had immediately turned the woman away, stating that whatever trickery she'd used to gain his subjects favour would not work on him.

He'd been short with her, almost rude to a point.

But he was worried about Rin and he wasn't going to waste time entertaining odd looking women.

He didn't expect her to just look at him coldly and call him, the lord of the west, an idiot.

Yes, he'd been irritated and attacked her.

And she'd shocked him by backhanding his charging form away like an insect.

Like he wasn't worthy of her time.

They'd wasted time then, his temper snapping as he continued trying to land a hit on the odd woman, charging at her, slashing with his claws and swords, his eyes tinting red as time ticked on.

And it went on and on and on until she'd just grabbed him and shook her head, demanding to be taken to the sick child and stop wasting her and her villages' time.

Because the longer he stalled her, the more she'd be charging for this 'mission'.

He'd just growled and stalked away, his beast fighting to get loose and teach the young woman who the alpha of the west was.

But no.

If this woman could stand her ground against him and live, maybe, just maybe, she could help his ward.

And she had, under his strict supervision.

She'd run glowing green hands over the unconscious girl's chest and throat, humming and demanding water and a bucket, as well as something sweet for the girl.

As curious and suspicious as he was, he ordered the objects to be delivered.

And once they had, she began.

Her hands flickering to life and patting the girls back as her brown eyes snapped open, the child's reaching and chocking filling the room as she leant over the newly placed bucket and started spitting out mouthfuls of dark liquid.

He'd sat through it all, through the foul smell, the harsh sound and the pitiful sight the child made.

Because it was his fault for not keeping a batter eye on her.

Once Rin had finished emptying her stomach, the pinkette handed her a glass of water and the hard candy, telling her it'd get rid of the taste.

Green eyes had turned to him, fire blazing in their depths as she beckoned him out of the room, a scowl covering her previously soft face.

She'd grabbed him by his collar, pulling him to her level before hissing in a voice that made him shudder.

"You had damned well better take good care of her from now on, because that was entirely avoidable! I swear, if she's left out in the cold and gets that sick again, I'll come back here, free of charge, and make myself an inu yokai rug." Her pink hair seemed to move on its own, an aura of anger and rage, power, blanketed her.

She was…magnificent.

And as she threw the bill to Jaken and stormed her way out of his home, his eyes never left her, not even when she growled out a threat for if payment was not sent soon.

"Jaken…Who was that?"

"My lord! That wench was a medic nin of Konohagakure, the best of the best, just like you ordered of me my lord!"

"A name Jaken. Now."

"Uhh….Lady Haruno Sakura, my lord."

Sakura…

There was no possible way that she was a cherry blossom.

No, she was a demon in her own right, and this would not be the last time he saw her.

Not if he had a say in it.
