Chapter 4
The three-some arrived at the hut. Sesshoumaru put her down, but she wouldn't let him. She held onto his kimono as if it was a lifeline.
"She doesn't want to be put down. What do I do now?"
"Just hold onto Suzuki-sama. First we have to pull that crystal out before we could put any medicine on it."
"Sesshoumaru," whispered a voice. Sesshoumaru looked at Suzuki, who was now awake.
"Don't worry. We're going to get it out."
"Well, you ready," asked Amarante. Sesshoumaru looked at Suzuki, who just gave a nod.
"Alright. 1,2,3!" The crystal was pulled out. Suzuki let out an agonizing scream. When she stopped, Amarante quickly took off Suzuki's kimono (Sesshoumaru looking away), applied the medicine, and wrapped it up. Amarante then went to get a new kimono for her.
"You can look, I'm not naked," answered Suzuki. Sesshoumaru looked at her, and noticed how beautiful she was. He always knew that she was beautiful. But, now, she was even more gorgeous. When, Amarante arrived with the kimono, she helped her mistress out of the old one, and put on the new one.
"Amarante, why don't you go to bed? It's pretty late," suggested Suzuki.
"But, who's going to help you when you need it," asked Amarante.
"Don't worry. Just go to sleep, that's an order."
"Yes ma'am." The girl got up, and went to the back of the shop to get some sleep.
"I'll be leaving, since you have to sleep as well," replied Sesshoumaru. Suzuki grabbed his wrist, which startled the demon.
"No, please, stay with me. Just for tonight," begged the helpless girl. Sesshoumaru looked at her, and decided to stay. He lay down next to her, and carefully wrapped his arms around the fragile girl. Not for long, Suzuki fell asleep. Her steady breathing soothed Sesshoumaru, causing him to sleep as well.

Suzuki recovered over the next few days. She, however, couldn't get out of the bed for a couple of days. Amarante took care of all the sicknesses, and injuries in the village. Sesshoumaru came to the house every night to visit. He would then leave at sunrise. When Suzuki was able to get out of bed, she would do occasional errands. However, Amarante did most of the errands.
One day, when Suzuki came back from helping a sick villager, she found a note on the door.
Suzuki,
Meet me at the clearing at our usual time. I have something to show you.
Sesshoumaru.
'What's he up to now,' Suzuki wondered. She went into the shop, and put down her things. She then, slowly, went to the clearing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Suzuki reached the clearing, but didn't see Sesshoumaru.
'Strange. He's usually here waiting for me.' Just then, she felt a warm pair of arms wrap around her. She knew who it was, and turned around to see him.
"Hi. So, why did you call me here?"
"Just wait," he answered. He picked her up, and jumped to a tree. He jumped from tree to tree, until he reached his destination. He put her down, and put his hands over her eyes.
"What are you doing," she asked playfully.
"Just be patient," he told her. When he finally stopped, he let go of her eyes, and Suzuki was shocked at what she saw in front of her. She saw an amazing meadow.
"Oh my… It's gorgeous. Thank you so much." She turned around, and gave him a big hug.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Suzuki," replied Sesshoumaru.
"Um…" answered Suzuki.
"Who was that demon that attacked you?"
"Kana, the illusionist. He can make himself look like anyone, and copy his or her powers. The only person who could've sent him is the Source."
"The Source?"
"He's a very powerful demon. He, however, loves to see the battle between good and evil. He would use minions to do his dirty work for him. I guess he sent Kana to kill me, because I'm one of the few good witches in this generation."
"But, why did he attack the both of us?"
"Possibly because we are no longer enemies, but lovers."
