I own nothing from Inuyasha.

Please enjoy and review.


After he knew she had several mouthfuls of his blood, he let her go and she started coughing. She moved to the other side of the spring as she stared crying and gasping for air. He remained where he was and watched as she tried to make herself puke, only to cry harder as she was unsuccessful.

"It is pointless to fight it, woman."

"I did not want it!" she screamed, keeping her back to him as she covered her face.

"You can only improve on what you have already learned."

"And if what I see scares me enough to return to my world? What then? What would you and Rin do?"

"Do not speak such nonsense," Sesshomaru growled as he appeared behind her and pinned both of her wrists to the edge of the spring and trapped her body between him and the edge. "If sensing all the energies around you, did not scare you away, seeing won't change that. You are apart of this Sesshomaru's pack and help care for a child who clings to you. Did you not already mention that you would feel more regret abandoning the child and this pack?"

"Don't use my words against me," she whimpered.

"Would it be that terrible to be able to see again, Azya?" Sesshomaru asked as he buried his face against her neck, feeling her flinch.

"I... I don't know..."

"You would be able to see the child when she smiles, and all the things that you can only sense."

"To see the life fade from people I may kill instead of just feeling it?" She scoffed. "I do not want to take another life... I felt her fear as her life force started to fade. I could hear her pain... Her last breaths... I do not want to see that..."

"Do not focus on those details, woman. You would be dead if you had not killed her. You had to defend yourself."

"I killed a living being..." she whispered slowly, not listening to him and he felt her start to tremble.

"Do not linger on the facts," Sesshomaru growled as he turned her around and wrapped his arm around her, making her gasp. "If you truly think that each life is precious, you cannot linger on death."

"Sessh..." He could feel her discomfort and noticed her neck and shoulders turn red from her blush, knowing she finally realized how little clothing she was in. "Can you please let me go...?"

"You humans and your sense of needing privacy," he snorted in amusement and noticed that her blush darkened as he let her go.

"It's more than that," she muttered quietly. "Your inner youkai is quite happy and so is you physically self... "

"There is no shame for physical reactions," he spoke.

"Considering your size... " her face turned completely red as she clamped her hands over her mouth and she sank into the water until the water was over her nose.

"And what would a human woman know about one's size?" he asked curiously as he sat against the edge, watching her as she shook her head. "Do you desire this Sesshomaru?"

"Wh...where are my clothes?" she stuttered on her words as she lifted her head out of the water to talk and he smirked at her attempt to change the subject.

"Priscilla took them to wash. She will bring clothing when she returns. Considering your reaction and your blush, your actions answer my question quite clearly."

"Oh shut up," she muttered. "Any woman would be impressed with the size of your manhood. It does not mean I desire you."

"Hn."

"Cocky bastard," she snapped before disappearing under the murky water to wet her hair before surfacing.

A quiet sigh left her lips before she came near him where the cleaning soaps sat. As she reached to grab the soap, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his lap. She gasped, not expecting that and he felt her body shiver as all space between them disappeared, her straddling him.

"What... are you doing...?" she stammered as she fought to get away.

"Your body knows that of a male," he mused.

"Your point?" she snapped.

"You are not mated."

"Many people in my world do not marry just to know sexual satisfaction. That does not make me some whore or an easy claim for you to have your way with."

"This Sesshomaru never said that it made your worth any less. You will not know when your sight will return if you keep them closed. You took in more from me than the last time," Sesshomaru spoke quietly.

"You didn't really give me much choice in that matter," Azya muttered as she opened her eyes and molten gold orbs stared back at him. She took a deep breath and as she let it out, it was shaky as she brought a hand up to cover her mouth as a sob escaped her. "Oh... I..."

"Take a breath, woman before you pass out from lack of air."

"You... " She let out a weak chuckle as brought her hand away from her face and touched his neck, her thumb against his chin.

"I'll ask again, is it that terrible to be able to see again?"

"I... I don't know..." She sobbed even though there was a small smile on her face. "I honestly gave up the chance that this would even be a possibility..."

Sesshomaru smirked at her confusing reaction and saw a light blush appear on her cheeks. She pushed hard against him and he let her go as she moved backwards until her back hit the far end of the spring, bringing one hand to cover her face from him as the other came to rest against the base of her neck. He could hear her breaths become faster and shallow and started to move to make sure she was okay.

"N...no..." her voice was strained as she tried to breath. "Stay away. I can't breathe..."

"Azya."

"Shut up," Azya gasped.

"Woman. "

"God, why do you have to be so fucking perfect?" She groaned as her hands came up to cover her ears. "This is your fault... Everything was fine... then you return this cursed sight. God, I'm going to Hell. "

"I have brought clothing my lord," Priscilla's voice was heard before the door to the bathing area opened and she placed the two piles of clothing on a bench. "I have calmed the child down some and she is with her tutor in the study. Marked one, do you require anything."

"No..." she whispered weakly and Priscilla left.

As soon as the door slid shut, Azya pulled herself out of the water and dashed to her clothing. She grabbed the drying cloth and started to dry herself, but he knew now why she was suddenly acting so strange. He stepped out of the water to her and wrapped his arm arms around her waist and pulled her flush against his body.
