Sesshoumaru woke the next morning with his back to Hardy. He smiled, turning over to face her. His smile slowly faded as he saw that she wasn't there. Thinking maybe Rin had come and woke her up to play he stood up. Sesshoumaru picked up her vague scent throughout the room, but her aroma was mixed with the scent of someone else. A low growl resonated in his throat as he recognized the other scent………Naraku……
Sesshoumaru stalked across the room opening his bedroom door. His eyes narrowed as they came to a dagger wedged in the door. The dagger held a small note, with curvilinear handwriting on it to the door. Sesshoumaru ripped the note viciously from the door glaring at it. His eyes slowly skimmed the note making him angrier as he read.
You had a chance to kill that scum InuYasha.
You threw it away!
Now you will pay the price of your stupidity….
I have taken you woman, and by the time you reach me she will be dead.
I realized to get to you……
I must kill your heart.
I have done that now.
Naraku
Sesshoumaru crumpled the note in his hand his snarl getting louder. 'That bastard!' He thought angrily slamming his fist against the door, splinters lodging themselves in his hand as the door broke in two. He stormed of to find Jaken the message fluttering to the ground behind him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hardy woke from the depths of a dreamless sleep, quickly opening her tired eyes. She gasped. She wasn't in Sesshoumaru's room. In fact, from the looks of it, she wasn't even in his room! Hardy sat up ridged in the bed she was in; she could hear a voice growing near.
Hardy's eyes went wide as she looked down at her clothes. 'What the…..' She was dressed in a white and red priestess outfit. 'Fuck!' Hardy took her eyes off of her outfit as the door to the room started to open. Hardy stood up angrily as she came face to face with Naraku.
"You…." Naraku quickly made his way across the room and up to Hardy. Hardy sat down and slid back, her body met the solid wall behind her. She couldn't move away from Naraku. Hardy's eyes darted to her right and met a door. She quickly stood up and ran to the door, opening it. She met a blueish purple barrier in front of her. She turned on her heel and faced Naraku.
"You cannot escape." He sneered. Hardy narrowed her eyes and smirked. "But I can sure as hell try!" She snarled raising her claws. Hardys eyes went wide; there were no longer claws on her hand….. Nor were there stripes on her wrist!
Hardy brought her gaze from her hand to Naraku. "So you have finally seen that you are no longer demon." Hardy started to growl. "What the hell did you do to me!!!" She demanded to know. Naraku just smirked motioning for her to sit down. "I used a little potion while you slept that turned you human for a day. I realized I could not kill you the way you were due to you immense power….. That you unsuccessfully hid from me. In this day, you will die! I'll make sure of that, before that son of a bitch Sesshoumaru can show up to save your pitiful life!"
Hardy's eyes filled with tears. She had forgotten about Sesshoumaru! She wondered if he would care that she was human…even if it was for a day. "I was little surprised that when you turned human you took the form of InuYasha's priestess bitch. You look exactly like her." Hardy looked down at her outfit a grabbed a piece of her now black hair. That would make Sesshoumaru's reaction even worse if she looked like the one InuYasha loved.
Hardy sank onto her bed and put her head in her hand. She had just remembered something that could end her life….. Years before Hardy left for the future, her and Sesshoumaru had made a pact. They promised that if either of them were in danger, they were not to save each other. Would he break the promise?? Would he save her? She had already broke the pact once…would he do if for her?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sesshoumaru-Sama?" Cried the 3-year-old Hardy playfully.
"What Hardy-Chan?" Sesshoumaru responded coldly.
Hardy stood up and toddled over to Sesshoumaru, puffing her chest out to look tough. "We're really strong right?" She questioned.
Sesshoumaru tilted his head to the side. "Yes….. So?"
Hardy put her hands on her hips replying, "So, I know how much we hate it when we save each other….. Sooooooo…. Lets make a pact! If one of us gets in trouble, the other can not save him/her."
Sesshoumaru smirked at the idea. "Ok…. Let's shake."
Hardy and Sesshoumaru linked hands and looked at each other. "Even if it's a really bad and nasty demon like Naraku. We CAN'T save each other." They shook hands and the pact was made. The pact that could possible end Hardy's life.
~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*
Tears brimmed Hardy's eyes as she lifted her head from her hands, 'Why did I make pact? WHY!' She thought to herself angrily. Then her thoughts returned to the demon in front of her. "You bastard!!!" She yelled slapping Naraku across the face.
Naraku smirked and wiped his hand across the stinging section of his cheek. "You pitiful HUMAN!" He sneered emphasizing the word 'human' Hardy cringed at the thought of being a human when she died. " Just sit. Sit and await your death…." He spat walking slowly out of the room. Hardy stood up but her legs gave way and she fell to the floor in a sobbing heap. She wept, wept for her life, and for Sesshoumaru. Was she going to see him before she died?
"SESSHOUMARU!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Master…. I…. I…. FORGIVE ME!" Jaken cried breaking into strangled sobs, throwing himself at Sesshoumaru's feet.
Sesshoumaru grabbed Jaken by the throat glaring promises of death into the lesser Youkai's beady eyes. Jaken had told Sesshoumaru that he had known of Naraku's presence in the castle the night before, but had neglected to tell the Lord.
Jaken gasped for air, but his vision was slowly darkened into nothingness. His life was slipping, and his heart was beating slower. Suddenly Sesshoumaru flung the little Youkai into the corner of the room. "I do not have time for this I must leave."
Jaken sighed in relief. "Thank you milord! Thank you for sparing this lowly life!" He had escaped death for tonight…… or so he thought.
"We will finish this later Jaken." Sesshoumaru stalked quickly to the door of the room but turned his head back to glare at Jaken, a smile crossing his face.
"Yes…… We WILL finish this later." Jaken stared wide-eyed at Sesshoumaru as he walked out of the room. "He…. He just smiled." He stammered. I… I will be dead by tonight."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hardy sat silently on the bed. 10 minutes had passed since Naraku had left. She slowly stood up and looked at herself up ad down. 'I'm human…..human! What will Sesshoumaru think if he makes it here before I change back? But if he doesn't make it here before I change….. I will die.' She thought sadly. "Sesshoumaru….. please find me."
