Pom-Pom- Thank you for your faithful reviews. I hope you continue to love
my story. If you have any ideas to make it better feel free to tell them
to me. Oh and I'm thinking of turning this story into a lemon at some
point. Good idea? Tell me your decision after you read a few more chapters.

Hardys tear stained face looked up into the golden depths of InuYasha's eyes. "Before my parents sent me away, they set a future mate for me. The boy and I had been friends for years. That's why it was set. But there was one problem with the boy. He had no emotions whatsoever. IT was like his soul was empty. He never smiled.. And when he did, bad things happened. I need to go back to Feudal Japan. I need to fulfill my parent's wishes. He was to become a Lord of some kind, so I suppose it wont be hard to find him. This mate was picked for me because my parents owned all of the Northern Lands. He owned...the Western Lands." Hardy smiled at the remembrance.
InuYasha's expression hardened. Kagome asked the question his mouth wasn't able to. "What is his name?" Hardys expression melted into a smile, of love... And loyalty. "His name? His name is.. Sesshoumaru."
(Just a little refresher!)
************************************************
InuYasha and Kagome looked at each other. Their mouths opened wide. "WHAT! Sesshoumaru!?"
Hardy smiled up at them. "You know him?" InuYasha mumbled something unintelligible and nodded. "He's still the same emotionless bastard that he always was." Hardy's dropped her eyes to the floor. Why should she expect he would change? She stood up realizing InuYasha was still talking. "...I don't know WHY exactly you would want to be with him. I mean he spends all his time with that nasty little Youkai named Jaken, and that girl Rin."
Hardy gasped. She stumbled and fell to the ground in a heap, releasing a strangled sob. Had Sesshoumaru forgotten his promise so easy? Did he already have a mate? Hardy slowly opened her mouth, but noting came out. "Who's.. Who's Rin?" She finally managed to sob. Her turquoise eyes were glassy with new tears. Her face still streaked with them.
Kagome sat next to Hardy. "She's a young girl whose life he spared. She can't be more than 8. Don't worry." She said sympathetically. Hardy sighed with relief. That made her feel better. But mild curiosity washed over her. 'Why had Sesshoumaru taken in a little girl... Saved her life, if he had no emotions?'
Hardy stood up slowly. "I'm going to the Well." She exclaimed. Hardy walked past InuYasha and climbed into the window, perching on the sill. She looked back at the Miko and Hanyou questioningly. "Are you coming?" They both looked at each other and nodded. "Yeah." They replied. Hardy soared out the window, InuYasha with Kagome on his back right at her heels.
She landed at the Well, looking into it's depths. 'Finally I'm here. What is Sesshoumaru going to say?' She thought to herself nervously. InuYasha stepped next to her. "Well? He questioned irritably. Hardy looked over at him and smiled. She stepped on the edge of the well and jumped. Hardy kept her eyes closed till she landed. Fearing she wouldn't make it after all this time. She slowly opened them. Bird songs floated to her ears. Hardy slowly looked up... Sky... She had made it!
Hardy looked over to her side, InuYasha stood with Kagome. InuYasha looked over to Hardy a stern look on his face. "Watch out for the guy in purple and black. His name is Miroku.. He's a major lecher." He stressed this point she saw. Hardy smiled and laughed. InuYasha and Kagome went to the top of the Well first. Hardy jumped up landing on the border of the Well. She looked up and came face to face with a boy with short black hair. She jumped back in shock, forgetting she was still on the Well. She fell backwards into the Well. She hit the bottom, hard, and was enveloped in darkness.
'Oww, my head. What happened?' Hardy opened her eyes looking into a pair of golden, snake like eyes. "Sess.. Sesshoumaru?" The eyes above her narrowed in disgust. "I'm not Sesshoumaru. Don't EVER call me Sesshoumaru." Hardy closed her eyes. It was InuYasha. "Sorry... What happened?"
Hardy eyes opened as InuYasha pointed over to the black haired boy who had met her at the top of the well. He was slumped over, with a large lump on his head. Hardy smiled looking over to Kagome who had a large grin on her face. She held in her hand a pretty large frying pan. Hardy shut her eyes again. The setting sun hurt them. The boy was wearing black and purple.. Miroku.
Hardy's eyes shot open. Someone was watching them. She sat up rubbing her throbbing temples. "I.. I.. Have to go for a walk." The group just watched Hardy as she stood up, wobbling on unsteady legs. She walked towards the woods. The person who was watching them was moving away slowly. She started to run, the thing.. Whatever it was, was getting closer and closer.
Hardy reached a large clearing. The sun had set, and the moonlight's beams shone through the celestial night sky. It was lovely out. The full moon lit up the field in it's entirety. Hardy's eyes glanced across the field as the moonlight caught the golden eyes of a man. Hardy moved closer. She looked down. The man wore black shoes. Her eyes traced every curve of his body. A blue and yellow sash, armor, and eyes of the deepest gold Hardy had ever seen. The mans hair was white with tiny flecks of blue mingled in. Hardy knew who he was immediately.
"Sesshoumaru.." Sesshoumaru nodded. He knew this girl, he remembered his promises kept. She was far more lovely and shapely than her younger years. His eyes smiled down at her. Sesshoumaru gazed into the turquoise eyes of Hardy. He noticed that steel flecks were mingled in. The stars reflected in them. His mouth may not have moved, but he was smiling inside. Hardy's eyes shone with tears. "Sesshoumaru!!!" She cried running to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She sobbed into his silken robes, taking in the scent of copper blood he was covered in. Sesshoumaru's single arm lifted, returning the gesture. He grinned inside. She smelled like cherry blossoms. His arm wrapped around her. Protectively, firmly. But his hold was still relaxed. A crimson cloud formed under them, taking them into the night sky.
"Welcome home Hardy."
