Oh, and sorry for my errors ^_^;;; CHAPTER 11 AN UNEXPECTED LUCK.OR NOT? He had smelled her from some minutes, but he didn't feel a single aggressive instinct in her, so he had only slow their steps to not meet her. But that youkai girl, after surpass them, had stopped her run and had jumped in front of them. He hadn't a single idea about what that girl could want, but he didn't want to run a risk. Inuyasha hid Kagome behind him and unsheathed Tetsusaiga, brandishing it in the youkai's direction. "What do you want, wench?" he asked with a growl, noticing in her eyes a flash of recognition that he didn't like. Inuyasha was grateful that his human heart was enough to still use his father's sword, in spite of he was now a true youkai. Not all the youkais knew that the Shikon no Tama was disappeared, and sometimes he and the others were attacked. That inu-youkai girl seemed pretty agile, but if she was in search of nuisance, Inuyasha was ready to fight. "Please, listen to me. I need your help." she said, making a step to the two. Inuyasha corrugated his forehead and Kagome put an hand over his shoulder. His Kagome.He could not yet believe that she could live with him forever. "Inuyasha.- murmured the girl- She doesn't seem menacing. We could try to talk with her." "Feh!- replied Inuyasha- Don't leave her enchant you because the child in her arms! That wench has an annoying smell." And it was really annoying! There was something out from the youkai's nature in her, and her smell was also tied to another one's, a smell that got on his nerves. "Who are you?- asked Kagome to the youkai girl, giving a glance of reproof to Inuyasha- What do you want from us?" "Ehi!" protested in vain Inuyasha, when Kagome went on, leaving his protecting area. The youkai girl smiled briefly. "My name is Anna.- she said- And she is Rin." The child greeted with a deed of her hand. "Please, could you take care of this child till my return?" Anna asked, stunning them. "Wha." Inuyasha started. "Take care of the child?- Kagome asked- Why?" Anna bit her lip. She didn't know where to start and every word was a second lost. "For explanations, ask to Rin.- she said, putting the child on her feet- I must to help a person, he is caught in a battle. I can't put Rin in danger, so I would that you take care of her for me." "Who do you think we are, moron?- Inuyasha said, with an hand on his side and the sword over his shoulders- A nursery school?" "Ok, we'll take care of her." Kagome said, with a smile. Inuyasha was near to fall on the ground. "WHAT'S THAT 'WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HER'?!" he screamed, while Kagome took an hand of Rin. The girl turned to Inuyasha with a bright smile. "Oh, please!- she said- She's so cute!" In front of her beautiful smile, Inuyasha capitulated. "Feh! Do what you want!" he muttered, sheathing Tetsusaiga. Anna smiled. "Thank you very much, Kagome and Inuyasha!" she whispered, before disappearing in the forest with a jump. "Not at all!" Kagome said, greeting with Rin. Suddenly, her smile died over her lips. She turned to Inuyasha with a strange expression. "Well?" Inuyasha asked, with folded arms. "How does she know our names?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha and the girl looked at each other in surprise. "Rin-chan, it's better if you tell to us Anna's story." Kagome said. "Sure!- the child said, happily- Rin will tell all the story of Anna-nee- chan!" "That youkai was very strange." muttered Inuyasha, while they sat, ready to listen Rin's story. They have lighted a fire to take away the near night, while they attended Anna's return. "Oh, Anna-nee-chan is a youkai but also a human girl." Rin said with nonchalance, while she ate the food exited from Kagome's bag. "WHHAAAAAAATTTTT?!" Inuyasha screamed, raised on his feet because the surprise. Rin nodded. "Anna-nee-chan was like Rin and Kagome, sometime ago.- she said again- Then, an evil youkai tried to hurt her but she defeated him and took his powers. She has told me all this!" Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other, astonished. "But.it's possible?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha scratched an ear. "Well, I don't know.- he muttered- It's Miroku the expert in these things, but I have thought that her smell was very strange. Maybe, this is the reason." "Rin was happy when Anna enjoyed with us.- the child said with a smile- Anna-nee-chan had helped Rin to find her companions and then she decided to travel with us, because she didn't know how to live as a youkai." "Whit us who, Rin?" Kagome asked. It was evident that the person Anna wanted desperately help was one of their group. "With Rin, Jaken and Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin answered. The child stood one moment, perplex, seeing Kagome and Inuyasha stood in silence with open mouths. "With Se.Ses." sputtered Inuyasha, not able to finish the phrase. "Sesshoumaru?- Kagome said, with an hand over her mouth- But.it's impossible!" "Do you know Sesshoumaru-sama?- Rin asked, enthusiastically- He had saved Rin's life, when the wolves attacked her. He takes care of Rin and leaves her live in his big home." "There must be another Sesshoumaru, it's the only explanation.- Inuyasha said, unbeliever- That bastard can't even look at a human without made an annoyed face." "But, Inuyasha,- Kagome replied- there can't be another inu-youkai with his name in company of another Jaken!" Inuyasha didn't speak. Sesshoumaru hadn't ever act in that way. It's really not possible that his ice-heart brother had saved a child. "Sesshoumaru-sama has taken also Anna-nee-chan.- the child went on- He doesn't stay much with us, but Rin thinks that he likes her because he always listens her words." "Feh! Here, this is the demonstration he's not that damned one!- Inuyasha said, satisfied- He'd kill her, but also if he'd decide to take her in life she could not speech a single word!" "You are similar to Sesshoumaru-sama!- Rin said, smiling-You have the same hair and eyes. But he doesn't have those kawaii ears!" Laughing, Rin went on the back of Inuyasha, scratching his ears, but the youkai was too much caught in his thought to tell her to stop. Kagome look at him, worried. "This Sesshoumaru hasn't an arm, right?" Inuyasha asked, briefly. "Yes, once,- Rin answered, stopping her torture to the poor youkai- but now Anna has given another one to him." "This is an irrefutable proof, Inuyasha." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha nodded but didn't speak. Late in the night, when Rin laid asleep under a Kagome's blanket, the girl want near the silent youkai and sat at his side. "What are you thinking?" she whispered, landing her head over his shoulder. Inuyasha, with a dark face, sighed, but passed an arm around her shoulders, hugging her. "This story hasn't a sense.- Inuyasha said- Sesshoumaru isn't.bah, you know him too. He is cold and cruel. He hasn't a bit of heart. I can't understand his actions." "Maybe he is becoming similar to you." Kagome joked to make him easy, but he only smiled briefly. Kagome sighed and started to scratch lightly an Inuyasha's ear, that showed his pleasure approaching his head to hers. "Maybe, he is changing.- Kagome went on- After all, you have the same blood in your veins. It's abnormal your diversity. Probably, Sesshoumaru needs someone that show him how to feel." "Who hasn't heart, can't feel anything." Inuyasha growled. Kagome corrugated her forehead. "Aren't you happy if he changes?" she asked, after some moments. Inuyasha snorted. "Feh! He doesn't ever change!- he replied, acid- He is always been a bastard, his only entertainment is hurt peoples. I'm sure the two will have to regret about have faith in Sesshoumaru." Kagome pushed deeply her face in Inuyasha's chest, smiling. "I like you when you care about peoples." she said. Inuyasha couldn't restrain himself from blush and Kagome giggled. "By the way, I can't see a reason of use in this child.- the girl said- I think that he had saved her only because he wanted her alive. It's a good thing, isn't it?" "And the girl?- Inuyasha said- I'm sure he takes her by his side only to fight for him!" "Don't desire the moon, Inuyasha!- Kagome replied- Probably it's true, but I don't think Anna stays near him only because their agreement." "What are you saying?" Inuyasha asked, confused. Kagome went out from his arms. "Haven't you noticed her worried eyes when she was talking about the person to save?" she asked. Inuyasha shook his head. Kagome sighed. "I think that that youkai is in love with Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha' jaw suffered suddenly of a strong gravitational force. "WHA.." he started to scream, before Kagome threw herself on him, pushing her hands over his mouth. "Sshhhhh!!!!! You'll wake the child!" Kagome groaned. "What are you saying?!" Inuyasha said, in a more low tone. "That I think she is in love with." Kagome started again. "Nobody can love such a monster! And, in every case, it's a self-injurer feeling!" Inuyasha said, sitting with folded arms and an hardhead, disgusted face. Kagome didn't replied. After a while, Inuyasha said: "It was that the irritant smell I sniffed before on her. The smell of Sesshoumaru. They must be near for some times." "Maybe he feels something for her, too.- Kagome said, hugging him- She could change him, couldn't she?" "He'll not change." Inuyasha said, shaking his head. Kagome look at him with sadness. Inuyasha didn't admit it, but he surely had wanted a true brother instead a bloody youkai on his tracks because he wanted to kill him. This thing must to grave over his soul. Inuyasha had started to tell her about her past, but he didn't speak about Sesshoumaru at all. They were in travel from a while, because Inuyasha desired to see another time his father's Palace, hoping Sesshoumaru wasn't in home. For what she knew, the youkai had ever tried to kill Inuyasha every time they had met each other. But they had the same blood in their veins. Why Sesshoumaru hated Inuyasha so much? "He can't change." Inuyasha whispered another time. The two stood in silence, embraced. Anna killed the last youkai, than turned to Sesshoumaru. In that moment, the youkai was taking an enemy for his neck, blocking him against a tree. Anna was secretly happy to have taken the decision to return. Sesshoumaru could done all by himself, but the youkais was enjoyed by many reinforcements and it was in their agreement that she had to fight for him. Sesshoumaru hadn't a single little scratch and now he was questioning the last survivor of that slaughter. Anna took of her eyes from the sight of the bloody corps all around. Luckily, Rin was not there. She turned, seeing the head of the youkai roll away. Sesshoumaru cleaned his hand over the tree. "Who have send them?" Anna asked. "He didn't know.- Sesshoumaru answered- They were only a warning. Someone has the intention to challenge me. I only hope he does all quickly, I'll happy to fight him." He noticed in that moment that Anna had not to stay there. "Where's Rin?" he said, with cold eyes. Anna made a nervous smile. "In a sure place, don't worry.- she said- I've thought my help could serve to you." Sesshoumaru nodded, giving her his back. The new confidential tone of the girl made him feel strange. "Ok.- he said- We'll go to take her and then we'll returned to the Palace." "No!" Anna exclaimed, making him turn. Anna bit her lips. "Ehm, no, Sesshoumaru. I'll go alone. You can precede us." "I've said: WE'll go to take her then WE'll return to the Palace." the youkai said another time, looking at her with suspicious eyes. Anna cursed. It was really better not favorite the meet of the two brothers, or they could say farewell to the return to the Palace. "Be faithful, it's better I'll go alone." she muttered. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. All that started to be annoying. "Where have you left her? In a human's village?- he asked- I'll not exterminate them, if it's your fear." "No, I." Anna started. "Where have you left her?!" Sesshoumaru asked with an imperious tone. Anna swallowed, nervous. Hell, she couldn't turning around it forever! "I've met your brother Inuyasha, and." she said. Sesshoumaru clutched her by the shoulders with a sudden deed. "My.brother?- Sesshoumaru asked with a not very reassuring hiss- You have left her with that half-breed?!" "She is sure with him.- Anna said, angry- Now I'll go to take her and we can close the question." "He can't dare to touch what is my property." Sesshoumaru said, hurting her with his grip. Than he left her and made a jump, disappearing in the forest in the direction from Anna was arrived. "SESSHOUMARU!!!" she called him, running behind the youkai. Chikuso! She started to think that meet Inuyasha and Kagome wasn't a real luck.
