Sesshoumaru didn't have the ears that Inuyasha possessed. This demon had sharp pointed ears that looked halfway human. They resembled those an elf would have, only Sesshoumaru's seemed more majestic, if possible. Despite how much they seemed to call out for my touch, I was almost afraid to reach out and caress them. Everything about this demon screamed out caution and even then, as he lapped up the blood from my self intended wounds, Inuyasha's warning echoed through my mind. The very fact that he would kill without any hesitation.

It made me wonder, though, whether Inuyasha was seeing a different demon that I was at that moment. Sesshoumaru had pointed his sword at me for what felt like countless times, yet he had never actually pierced my skin with it. If Inuyasha's warning was true, than I should have been dead by now. Even then, I should have died on our first meeting. It was like a miracle, then, that I was here living and breathing. Another thought hit me right after, which caused a shiver to go about my spine. Perhaps, this demon wasn't going to kill me swiftly, rather he was going to kill me slowly.

Now that a whole knew feeling of fear swept through me, I jumped a little when Sesshoumaru dropped my last hand, indicating that he was done with his actions. I expected him to lash out and hurt me, but he only stayed where he was, watching me. His eyes were gentle yet fierce, hungry yet desirable. Perhaps I knew all along his real intention was not to harm me and as we spoke through our eyes, my body began to relax.

"M-my blood." I spoke up, turning my gaze down to my palms. Just a second ago, they were dripping with blood and now they were pink without a flow. It was strange and I could still feel a tingle where his mouth had just been. "Doesn't it taste revolting? After all, I am the reincarnation of Naraku. You said so yourself that I carried his scent, so my blood must taste just as bad."

"You are a fool if you think even your blood would have anything to do with your soul. It is merely a substance." He replied with what sounded like an irritated tone. Fearing I had angered him, I shut my mouth and avoided anymore eye contact. With this, there was a moment of silence and I began to wonder why he wasn't leaving. I assumed he would just stand up and go to be rid of me, but he never budged from his spot, leaving one knee in the soil and the other bent. "Show me it." He said at last.

"What?" I turned my face to give him a very noticeable confused expression.

"Your other wound. I can smell it."

"My... woun- Oh!" Now that he had mentioned it, my shoulder was wrapped up in gauze from Sango's attempt at covering my injury. It was the same gash that Chidori had created from her sword during our last battle. Trying not to think about my best friend in depth, I touched my shoulder and winced as it throbbed. If Sesshoumaru hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten about the wound until my next bathe, which would have been a bad thing. Infection could have taken its' toll by that time.

"Useless woman." He growled and grabbed my shoulders with either hand. I bit back a scream the moment one of his hands came upon the end of my covered wound. He took my reaction as an answer and pulled me to him. His grip was hard, like his hands were made from metal instead for bone. It was enough that I even thought he could break my arms if he put the right pressure to them. He ignored my silent plea and roughly placed my back against his knee, letting my bottom lay softly to the gravel below. His grip was still on my shoulders and only then did he slowly release them, letting my blood to start its' flow again from my gash. The white top of my kimono began to get stained once again and he took no time to observe it. The demon ripped open the chest of my top with an unreadable expression, pulling the cloth aside in order to get to the open cut.

"N-no!" I gasped, but he didn't cease his actions. Instead, he moved the dirtied gauze out of the way and crashed his mouth down to my shoulder. Pain seared through my body as his tongue invaded my flesh, so much that I trembled like mad below him. I couldn't move from him or rather I was too overwhelmed by his scent. Aside from the pain, my gaze was to the stars and I could feel the warmth of his body against mine. I tried to rid my thoughts, but he was too hypnotizing that I stopped any struggle and let him continue on.

I could feel his hot moist breath tickle my tender skin and his tongue lapped up the seeping blood, even his silver glistening hair had fallen over me. Each strand teasing the senses in my skin and moving around with his movements. I wanted to reach out to him a second time, but I couldn't even control my arms let alone my body. His mouth descended from my shoulder to the top of my mounds and down to the valley of my breasts. Shivering, I concentrated on every star being witness to his care. They twinkled above, winking, and giving their light filled blessings down to us. I even saw make belief pictures as well as designs the beauty of the stars could make.

His lips, so firm and gentle. They were completely opposite to his nature. Soft. Tender. Moist.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!!" A little girls' voice echoed through the forest followed by the breaking of twigs as she ran through the heart of the trees.

Sesshoumaru departed his lips from my wound and let his grip fall from me, he pushed me off of him gently to let me catch my own balance. Feeling self conscious, I covered my chest, even though my breasts were already covered from the now loosened gauze. Even so, I readjusted my kimono top securely and Sesshoumaru lifted himself up with little effort from the hard ground. As he stood erect, my body froze when I gazed up at his flawless stance. He truly was like a God in my eyes, while he looked so perfect otherwise. What really made my heart skip was how intense those golden orbs looked off into the distance, which I suddenly wished were upon me. My body still felt warm from his touch, while his lips left a permanent imprint in my senses. Sesshoumaru's hair glistening in the night sky, fluttering with whichever direction the wind pleased.

Then, being drawn out of my sudden trance, a little girl popped her way out of the darkness from the forest and smiled brightly up at the golden hued God. He briefly looked down at her and she held up her dirtied hands which were currently occupied with dozens of stem bent flowers. Her giggle was so pure and innocent that it made me look at her in awe. She was small, about half (maybe smaller) than my size, and her hair was a bit on the nappy side, though fixed by a side pony tail. She wore a little child's white and orange checkered kimono that went all the way down to her ankles. Below that were her bare feet.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, Jaken and I have been looking all over for you! I picked these on the way, aren't they just beautiful?" She beamed and looked down at her flowers. Sesshoumaru looked at the flowers for a moment and then turned his gaze back to me momentarily.

"Rin." He said her name with a hard tone. She perked up immidiately and looked back up at him.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Tend to this human." He looked back over at me and Rin followed his gaze, finally taking notice that I was there. I shied back a little and felt out of place, but she only grinned widely and nodded to the demon. Soon after, she trotted over to my side and held out the half crushed flowers to me as her little gift. I smiled and took them happily which let a giggle escape her small mouth.

Then a third party showed up, this time it was a small being, which I took to be a demon given his appearance. The demon itself was about half Rin's size and he carried, through three long green fingers, a giant rod with two heads at the top. He was green all over with big eyes and at the first look, one couldn't help but think 'frog' or 'toad'. In all, the demon wasn't attractive.

"M'lord! M'lord! Must you leave me with that pesty human girl!" The toad-like demon complained right at the heals of his 'Lord'. I was a bit taken aback by the way the beautiful demon was addressed and only made me wonder. Sesshoumaru merely shot the demon a sharp look and immediately the toad shied away and shut it's mouth. The silence only lasted a mere second until the thing noticed my presence. "M'lord, why is there another human here?! What has become of you?! M'lord!!"

The conversation was suddenly shut off when Rin dragged me away from the view of them, enough so we could have our privacy. Despite the little girls' appearance, she seemed more mature than what she let off.

"Don't mind Jaken, he's a goofey demon anyways." She grinned big enough to show off her teeth and dug her hands in a little pocket sewn into her kimono and exited a few wrapped cloths. "My name is Rin." She greeted, unraveling the bit of cloth she had.

"My name is Misuzu. I can do that..." I said, indicating my wound and the cloth she was holding. The little girl only shook her head and stepped closer to me. I bent down to her height and allowed her to dress the gash on my chest first. Time went quickly as she finished dressing both of my hands in a professional way. "You are pretty good at this, Rin." I complimented.

"I'm a human, too, so I know the importance of keeping a wound clean." She smiled up at me with her childish beam and I couldn't help but feel amazed at this little girl.

"How do you know Sesshoumaru?" I asked her out of curiously and she put a child sized fist to her chest and closed her eyes.

"I was saved by him. Wolves took my life, but Sesshoumaru-sama came to my rescue and drew death away from me. I am truly grateful for him"

"H-he saved you?"

"Yes." Rin beamed brightly at the memory. "Well, come on, we should get back!" With that, she grabbed my hand and pulled me along. This little girl...

By the time we got back, Sesshoumaru was leaning against a tree with is eyes closed and Jaken was sitting beside him with a defeated look upon his face. I couldn't help but imagine what must have went on during our absence. In any case, Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru and tugged cutely on the bottom of his clothing. This indication let the demon know that she was done tending to my wounds. Without even a glance towards me, he began to walk off into the distance. Jaken scrambled to his feet with a yelp and stumbled after them, taking place beside Rin as she opened her mouth to tell tales of went on in her mind.

Alas, I was left alone to look after their backs and I couldn't help but feel sad. There was a pang in my chest, while my stomach felt a little queasy. I didn't want to be left alone, I wanted to go with them, but who was I to trample on their lives and join parties with them. I felt out of place even with Sesshoumaru and I couldn't head back to Inuyasha. For one, I was lost, and two, I didn't even know how angry they all would be. Last, I couldn't go back to my world even if a tried.

Gathering all my courage, I took in a deep breath to fill my lungs wide and screamed after them.

"Wait!" I ran in full speed towards them, feeling my legs pound with each step I took. I ignored the crumpling of leaves and twigs, trying my hardest not to fall. Unfortunately, I tripped over a small log and fell to my knees, but I didn't stop then. "Let me come with you. Please, let me come with you!" I called out.

Sesshoumaru wasn't too far from were I sat fallen to my knees and all three of them looked my way. Rin was watching me with curiously, Jaken looked at me with a face of disgust, and Sesshoumaru gave me that emotionless stare. I hated that stare and yet it somehow was powerful enough to palpitate my heart. The demon parted his lips to speak and let out his masculine voice the moment he began to turn around.

"Do as you please."

I would really appreciate it if you leave me reviews. They help me a lot.
