I do not own Inuyasha, just my oc(s)!
Something cold and wet was on my forehead. I moved my hand causing my body to ache.
"Oh!" A voice spoke quietly.
That was Kisa's. I opened my eyes to see her looming over me. She smiled seeing that I was awake. She was alive and safe. Those men hadn't taken her. Good.
"You're awake! I'm so glad!" she spoke as I fought off sleep.
"Y-yeah." I said croakery, "W-Where are we?"
Before Kisa answered me she poured some water in my mouth. I drunk it.
"We are safe." Kisa said.
Safe, but where? What happened exactly? I thought back to it. Sesshomaru appearing, saving me...admitting he loved me. He loved me.
I sat up and let out a hiss as my body ached. I closed my eyes tightly. I had to see him.
"Uh! Kaori! You must not move! You are still weak!" Kisa gasped.
"I don't care. I have to see him." I said through gritted teeth.
"Lay down." Sesshomaru said as he stood in the entrance of the cave.
I looked at him as he walked furthur into the cave over to us. Kisa left, leaving just the two of us.
"You are an idiot." he muttered sitting down next to me.
"A-Am not." I stuttered a bit surprised that his first words to me were that.
"Lay down. You need rest." he said, and I obeyed him this time, "What were you thinking taking those men on without any weapons. You could have been killed."
"Sorry, but I had to save her from those men." I told him.
"You are a demon now. You should not worry about humans." he said.
I glared at him.
"She needed my help." I told him, "If my memories serves me right you helped a few humans. Even when I was a human. You took me in and helped me retrieve my youki."
"That is because we take care of own. The other reason is because you are to be my wife." he said.
I blushed and bit my bottom lip. Sesshomaru closed his eyes.
"Do not do that. It makes it hard for me to control myself when you look like that." he said and I let go of my lip.
"S-sorry." I mumbled, "A-About what you said yesterday. Did you mean it?"
Sesshomaru opened his eyes and looked at me. He placed his hand on my cheek.
"Of course. Since I laid my eyes on you when you were born, I have cared for you." he said, "Seeing you again and getting to know you more, my feelings have grew even more for you."
I blushed again as his hand moved my lips. He traced them, before moving his hand down to my chin. I just laid there as he traced my face. It felt nice actually. When he was done he laid his hand in his lap.
"What you said, did you mean it?" he asked and I nodded my head, "Say it again."
I looked at him as my heart beat quicken.
"I-I lov-" I began, but stopped when I heard Rin scream for Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru stood up and ran out of the cave. I could hear horses and men out there. I pushed myself up and saw my sword along with my backpack laying close by. I grabbed my sword and used that to help me stand up. I limped out of the cave to see us surrounded by men with swords, bows and arrows.
In the middle of them was a guy wearing a heavy suit of armor that screamed 'I'm in charge of them!'
"Demons! Let the princess go and your lives will be spared." the guy shouted.
"Jun?" Kisa spoke up and I looked at her as I walked over to them.
"Uh! Kaori! You shouldn't be out here!" Jaken said looking up at me.
"I'm fine." I told him.
It was surprised that all my wounds were healed. I believe Sesshomaru must have used tenseiga to heal them.
"Yes, my love! I have come to save you from these beasts!" Jun shouted and I rolled my eyes.
"I don't want to go back!" Kisa shouted, "I don't want to get married!"
"You may not want too, but I love you!" he said.
"Enough of this foolishness." Sesshomaru said pulling out his sword, "Kaori take Rin and the girl back in the cave. Jaken protect them."
"Yes, m'lord." Jaken said and pulled A-Un into the cave while Rin folliwed him.
"Are you sure? I can help you." I told him.
"Go, you are weak still." he said.
"Be careful." I told him and pulled Kisa back into the cave.
Once in the cave I sat down and Rin gave me a roasted mushroom. I thanked her and ate it to give me strength. I watched Kisa as tears came to her eyes. Men could be heard screaming in pain as Sesshomaru fought then easily. I hoped he will be okay out there. I knew he could handle them easily, but I still worried about him.
"He came here to save me." Kisa said looking at her hands, "He came here knowing that he might die."
"Love makes us do things like that. I once ran off into the forest thinking Sesshomaru was in danger only to find him training." I told her.
"But you are a demon. You are strong." she said.
"I might be, but there are always a chance that there is a demon much stronger than I am." I told her and she glanced at the entrance of the cave quickly, "You are worried about him?"
"It is my fault that he is here." she said, "He's done so much for me. Seeing him here, fighting for me. I can't help, but have this weird feeling in my heart."
"That's love." I began, but stopped when their was a scream.
"Kisa!" Jun screamed in pain.
"Jun!" Kisa shouted and ran out of the cave.
I stood up and ran after her ignoring the pain shooting through my body. Sesshomaru stood in front of only person that was alive. That person happened to be Jun.
"These men wasted their lives for you. You are about to meet the same fate." he said.
"Stop!" Kisa shouted as Sesshomaru rasied his sword.
"Sesshomaru don't." I shouted and he stopped.
"Please don't kill him! I-I love him!" she cried and ran to Jun.
She hugged him and Sesshomaru let out a sigh. He put his sword away and turned to me. I gave him a smile before dropping to my knees as my energy was gone. Sesshomaru appeared next to me.
"I'm fine." I told him, "I just used too much energy."
"Stupid girl." he muttered and looked at Kisa who was hugging Jun.
"She might be, but at least she figured out her feelings for him." I said, "It's so sweet."
"Hn, it's annoying." he said and I rolled my eyes.
"You're just grumpy because you couldn't finish him off." I said.
"Kaori, thank you for everything." Kisa said and we looked at the girl as she helped Jun stand, "I am sorry for causing so much trouble also."
"It's no problem, Kisa. I'm just glad everything worked out okay." I told her.
"Yes, well we must get back to the castle. We have things to plan." Kisa said.
"Thank you for keeping the princess safe." Jun said and then the two left.
I let out a sigh.
"Well that was eventful." I muttered.
"Hn,"
Sesshomaru picked me up and walked into the cave. He laid me down on the ground where I had been earlier.
"Rin, Jaken. Go fetch some water and firewood." Sesshomaru said and the two ran from the cave. A-Un walked outside.
"Please finish what you were going to say." he said looking at me.
My heart began to beat quickly like earlier. I stared at him for a moment and sat up. I ignored my muscles screaming, and I fought off the tiredness that I began to feel.
I reached my hands out to his face and smiled. I didn't know what I was doing, but it felt right to do it. I laid my hands on his cheeks and spoke the three words he wanted to hear.
"I love you." I said and kissed him lightly before pulling away.
He seemed stunned by the kiss and just stared at me. I gave him a smile and blushed.
"I got the water!" Rin shouted as she walked into the cave.
I heard Sesshomaru let out an annoyed sound.
"I also picked some flowers for Kaori!" Rin said as she reached us.
"Thank you, Rin." I said taking the wild flowers from her.
"Oh! Your face is red! Do you have a fever!?" Ron asked and I shook my head.
"No, no. I am fine. I just need to rest so we can leave tomorrowand continue our search." I told her and laid down.
I placed the flowers next to me and pulled the blanket over me.
"Rest well." Sesshomaru said and patted me on the head before leaving.
I smiled as I closed my eyes.
When the next morning came I was awaken by Rin. She had a giant smile on her face as she held out an apple.
"Morning sleepy head!" she said cheerfully, "How do you feel?"
"Sore, but I could be worse." I told her as I sat up.
"Here, this should help you get your strength back." she said handing me the apple, "There is a tree full near by."
"Thank you." I said and took a bite out of the apple.
The apple was juciy and tastes good. When I was finished with it I stood up and stretched. My bones cracked and popped. I ignored the aches, and walked out of tge cave with my back pack.
"I'm going to go take a bath in the lake." I told Jaken and Rin as they bickered.
I walked through the forest until I reached the lake. I got un-dressed and jumped into the cold water. Swam to the surface and let out a small sqeak.
"Cold!" I said loudly and dipped my head into the water agian.
I scrubbed my hair and raised up. I walked over the land and grabbed the bottle of shampoo that was almost empty.
"I'll need to find Kagome soon and see if she could get me some more." I told myself as I washed my hair.
When I was done washing my hair with the soap I dipped my head into the water and rinsed the soap off. I raised back up and let out a scream when I felt something slimy and small latch on my leg.
I stood up and ran to land. I pulled myself up and looked down at my leg to see a scared tiny frog. I blinked at it for a moment before picking it up.
"Just a frog." I muttered and set the green animal down.
"What is wrong?" Sesshomaru asked jumping from the forest.
I jumped and turned to him shocked by his sudden presence. He seemed to freeze when he looked at me. I froze too when I remembered that I was naked. Oh God!
At that thought I jumped into the water and sunk down to my neck. Blushing I glared at him.
"Pervert!" I shouted and that seemed to bring him out of it.
"I am not. You were the one who screamed and naked. It seems that you wanted me to see." he said.
I grabbed a rock and tossed it at him. At that moment I didn't care if he could see me or not. He could be such a perv! Sesshomaru dodged the rock as it flew by his head.
"You should not be defensive about it. On our wedding night I will see no matter what." he said and I bit my bottom lip in anger.
He let out a sigh and turned around.
"You are so tempting." I heard him mumbled.
"Just stay facing that way, until I am dressed!" I shouted at him.
"You have my word." he said keeping his back to me.
I got out of the lake and quickly dried off. I grabbed my clothes and put them on.
"You can turn around now." I told him and he did.
His eyes looked at me and I blushed looking away from him. I picked my pack up and began to walk away. Sesshomaru caught my wrist stopping me.
"Earlier, why did youn scream?" he asked me.
"It was just a frog." I told him.
"A frog?" he questioned raising an eyebrow as we walked back.
"Yes, I wasn't expecting it to latch onto me. I thought it was some type of ghost or something. Like that one movie where the little girl drowns people in this apartment building." I began, but stopped when I remember movies haven't been invented yet, "Never mind. Anyway what were you doing out in the forest?"
"I was searching the area for Naraku's heart." Sesshomaru said and glanced down at the green stone in his hand.
"Are you sure Kagura was telling the truth about that?" I asked him.
"Yes." he said and put away the stone.
I let out a sigh.
"You, erm, don't have any feelings for her do you? I mean she seemed to like you a lot." I spoke blushing a bit.
"You are not jealous, are you?" he asked smirking.
I shook my head quickly.
"No! I was just curious!" I told him crossing my arms.
"You do not need to worry. Kagura is dead and my feelings for you will not change." Sesshomaru said and I stopped walking shocked that Kagura was dead.
Sesshomaru stopped and turned to me.
"She is dead?" I asked him and he nodded his head.
"Yes, she was killed by Naraku." Sesshomaru said.
"For helping us?" I asked him.
"I do not know the reason." he said.
I looked down at the ground. Even though I didn't really like or trusted her, and I did want to kill her, but seeing that Naraku had killed her. She must have been good. Somewhat.
"I feel bad, because I thought she was bad, but now..." I stopped and closed my eyes tightly in anger.
Naraku. He will pay for everything he has done. For killing innocent people, and using them.
"Do not feel bad. You did not know." Sesshomaru said and placed his hans on top of my head, "Now let us get back to camp. We need to leave."
I nodded my head and we began to walk again. As we walked I looked up at the sky.
I hope you are at peace now, Kagura.
"Pay more attention to where you are walking." Sesshomaru said and pulled me from walking into a tree.
"Sorry." I apologized blushing.
How was this chapter? So voting is still going on for my next fan-fic. The Dgray-man one. So far I have one vote for a Lavi/oc and zero votes for Kanda/oc. I'll probably keep the voting up until the sixth or so.
