Chapter 14: Faith in Love

I walked along the dirt path road…I never knew that my heart could feel so empty. I never felt a void like this. Why did he fill this void? Why would that jerk…actually…make me feel…

It has actually been about 1 or 2 weeks, though I haven't been keeping track. That is just my estimate. Of course, I was hungry…finding food is harder than it looks…and I haven't talked or had any fun…And to think maybe he forgot me…Maybe he didn't want to save me…But than again…it wouldn't surprise me. He must hate me after the things I had said to him on that day…

I shook off my thoughts and went down to river that was beside the wooden bridge that went over top of it. I put my ankles into the river and looked down to my reflection. I starred into my eyes…They had no emotions in them. It was like a part of my soul was taken, gone…Why did he have to be the one…the one I'd be so head over heels for?

I smashed the river with my hand and stood up. I got out of the river and walked over the wooden bridge. I felt my hair blow with the wind. I stopped walking on the middle of the bridge and looked up at the bright blue sky. The white clouds covered the sun making the ground cooler than it should be.

Just than I heard a creek on the bridge I was on. I quickly turned around and saw a demon standing there. He had dark purple eyes. He had long black hair that was tied into a high ponytail and bangs that covered bits of his eyes. He wore a blue kimono that had yellow butterflies on it. He wore dark blue pants. He also wore dark black shoes.

At first I thought he maybe was just passing through but I soon learned that he was after something else.

"…Hello, Yune." He said as I backed up a step.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" I asked him as he smiled

"…How could I not hear of a beautiful lady like you?"

"…Ok, now you are just getting plain creepy."

"But I am saying the truth."

"If you are trying to charm me, you are pretty bad at it."

"I don't need to charm you."

"Ok…than. Look whoever you are, I'm going now."

I turned my back to him and took one step…But he began to say something to me.

"…Sesshomaru's an ass isn't he?" He said as I turned to him

"Excuse me?" I asked him

"You heard me. The way he treated you, the things he said. If a man truly cared for you, he would treat you like a princess."

"…How do you know Sesshomaru?"

"Dear Yune, I've been having my eye on you for awhile."

"So basically you stalked me."

"Now its nothing like that. I saw your beauty and needed to be with you."

"Do me a favor and never be with me."

"He hurt you Yune, he betrayed you. You don't deserve to be treated like that. You deserve to be treated as a Princess. Why do you persist on loving him even though he does not treat you right?"

"Buddy, you are really starting to get on my nerves. You are nowhere near the man that Sesshomaru is! Now stop stalking me and leave me alone."

He smirked at me as he leaned against the railings of the bridge. I felt a shiver go down my spin. What is wrong with this demon? Something's off about him. I could feel fear begin to start up in my heart…Something is really bugging me about him…He wants something from me and I'm scared to know what it is.

I turned away from him, shaking those thoughts out of my head. I walked down off the bridge and I heard creaking from the wood. I knew he was following me so I pulled out my sword. I quickly turned around to him. But when I did I saw that no one was there. Nothing but the wind.

"What the…" I said as I felt something heavy come upon my head.

Immediately I felt my body begin to fall forward and my limbs went numb. I began to feel very drowsy and than my eyes closed…

(time passed)

I opened my eyes and looked around the room that I was now in. It was an empty room with just four wooden walls. But somehow I was viewing all of this from a different height than the floor.

I looked down and saw stairs leading up to where I was. And I saw that I was sitting in this chair. Maybe like a throne…I saw that my hands were tied down with rope and I knew I could break free. But when I tried to move my arms to break free…well nothing moved. My arms didn't even flinch. Anything that I tried to do didn't happen…Was I not in control of my body anymore?

"Interesting isn't it?" I heard a familiar voice say as my eyes looked down the stairs.

I wanted to scream at him but nothing would come out of my mouth. No words…No voice…I was trapped. He had me…

"Having trouble moving my Princess?" He asked me as I continued to stare at him.

"…That crown on your head is not for decoration you know. It keeps your body immobilized. You can't move, at least not until that crown is taking off. Which will be never my princess." He said as I felt tears begin to swell up in my eyes.

He began to walk up the stairs and my eyes frantically looked around for something, anything to get me out of this situation. But there was nothing…Nothing to set me free. His face was now inches from mine and the tears streamed down my face. I was scared, I didn't want him anywhere near me. I wanted him gone.

Surprisingly I was thinking about Sesshomaru…How I wanted to be beside him…How I wished that I never left…Sesshomaru…please…save me…I don't want to be his, I want to be yours. I don't want to be anyone else's! Please! Anybody, somebody save me.

I felt his hand touch my cheek. He stroked my cheek as his other hand went on my waist. His smile became more evil…I knew what was going to happen but I won't allow it. There has to be something I can do.

"Somebody! Help me!" My voice screamed out loud as the demon went back a couple steps.

I didn't know how I was able to scream but he knew. He was shaking…And I didn't know why…Was he surprised that I screamed even while the crown was still on my head. Wait…was it still on my head? I didn't feel the pressure of it anymore.

The demon turned around and he shook in fear even more. What the hell? What was he seeing? I can't see a damn thing over his big fat head!

"No…Please…don't!" The demon screamed as I saw something green cut him in half.

His body fell to the ground and I shook in fear. Is this a new enemy? Is he going to kill me? I was too scared to even move, too scared to even look. I held my eyes shut and waited for the end again. Man, I almost die a lot.

I felt the rope around my wrists come off and I could move again…But I still did not want to open my eyes…I didn't want to see…

Curiosity kills the cat doesn't it? I opened my eyes and saw Sesshomaru standing there. I don't know what's more surprising. The fact that he has magically got two arms and a new sword or the fact that he actually saved me. I felt my cheeks heat up but I looked the other way.

When I looked the other way I saw Kikyo standing in a window. But she was walking away, as if though she completed something. I slowly looked the other way and saw the crown locked on the wall by an arrow. Thank you Kikyo…Thank you.

"Your arm?" I asked trying to get small talk going.

"…Yeah." He said as I stood up.

"…Well thank you for saving me." I told him as he gave me a confused look.

I didn't know…what I wanted to do or why he saved me…But he had made a request for me to leave him alone. And I don't know if that request is still what he wants…or not…But I'm not going back until he tells me…He needs to say that, that request is not what he wishes..

I smiled at his silence. I walked past him and went down the stairs. I was walking away and he wasn't going to stop me…

"Wait." I heard his voice say as I turned around to him.

He was now down the stairs and was a couple feet away from me. I could tell in his eyes that he wished to say something…But what I was not quite sure.
"…Come back."He firmly said to me as I smiled

"Sure." I said as he smirked at my reply.

He came up close to me and looked straight in my eyes. My cheeks burnt up and I knew he saw it. But I don't think he cared much. I felt his hand put my bang behind my ear and my heart skipped a beat as usual. But I never knew that he was going to do this…That he was going to show he cared.

He put his hand on my neck and a nice shiver went down my spin. He pushed my head up and our lips connected. My face burned up but I liked it. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. So, you do love me after all Sesshomaru.

He stopped kissing me and starred at me as I couldn't stop smiling. I guess when you've been dying for a kiss like that, you can't stop smiling. I mean it's one of the most happiest moment s of my life. Of course I'm going to be freaking happy.

"Alright, before we go, I have a couple questions." I said as Sesshomaru's head dropped.

"Oh come on, it's not going to kill you." I giggled as he sighed

"Fine…" He replied

"So you love me right?"

He gave me the look of 'love isn't a word in my vocabulary'. I laughed at his look and smiled.

"Fine, you like me, better?" I asked

"Yes." He said as I smiled

"Let me guess, there are certain rules to being you know…your girl?"

He smiled at what I had said, I knew he liked that. But he nodded. I knew this wasn't going to be like dating a normal person. Sesshomaru's more shy. He probably won't like certain stuff.

"No hand holding." He said as I gasped

"What? Not even when we are alone?" I said as he smiled

"That's fine."

So I smiled and put my hand in with his. He just shook his head but in a jokingly way. He was different than what everyone else thought he was. He could love, he was just waiting.

"Fine, so no hand holding in public. Let me guess that goes along with hugs, kisses, cuddling, etc?" I said as he nodded

"Your no fun." I jokingly said

"Deal." He said as I gave him a look

"I will. Anyways what else is there? No name changes I'm guessing."

"None. Your lucky I don't make you say Lord."

"Oh I would so punch you. That ain't happening. If I have to say Lord, you have to say babe."

"Okay, fine. But no, no name changes."

"Can I call Inuyasha Aniki-kun?"

The look he had given me was worth the stupid question. He was so disgusted by what I said…It looked like he was going to barf.

"Don't worry, I was just joking. Do I get to tell anyone?" I asked

"…No." He replied

"What if they figure it out by themselves. There's nothing I can do about that."

"Well, I'll make sure they don't."

"You are ruining my fun!"

"Too bad."

"…Fine, what about Rin?"

"What about her?"

"She's going to know. I hope you know."

"She won't."

"Knowing girls, she probably already knows. Sorry, Sesshomaru. Women are just to smart for men."

"…Well, that's fine. It's doomed to happen."

"Are we ever going to have a conversation like this again?"

"Don't say such silly things."

"Alright. Okay now I'm ready to go."

"I'm not."

"Why not?"

He kissed me on the lips once more and than walked through the door.

"Now I am." He said as I shook my head.

"Men…" I said as I ran after him.
