*Spirited Hearts*
Chapter Five
As the two finished eating they got up and started off again. Before long they reached a cabin that sat in a clearing. Nevaeh curiously looked up at Sesshoumaru. He didn't acknowledge her but just walked in the cabin. "Yuri. I have come for that potion you promised me."
"Demanding as ever I see." A slightly worn voice answered back.
Nevaeh walked in cautiously, not knowing what to expected. Inside was a small kitchen that smelled slightly of a recent meal. A table was set in the center with a light pastel colored table cloth drapped over it. There were some inscence burning over the fireplace that left a nice smell of lavender in the small living room. A rockingchair sat to one side of the fireplace, while a worn but comfortable pastel couch sat in front of it. There was a fuzzy rug laid out in the center of it all. Down a hall there were two other doors that Nevaeh guessed led to a bathrrom and bedroom.
"Ah, who is this beauty?" Yuri asked as she spotted Nevaeh. Yuri had her lavender hair pulled back in a bun with cat like ears atop her head. Her silver eyes sparkeled at the thought of Sesshoumaru having anything to do with a human. She was a short, middle aged (in human years anyway) cat demon.
"Feh. Shes the reason I need that potion. This stupid old hag bound us together." He spoke so lightly about the subject that Nevaeh saw red. Sesshoumaru turned to her slightly when he heard her growl.
"Take. that. back." Sesshoumaru merely raised his eyebrows. "How can you say that about her?! She was the kindest woman I've ever known and she just DIED!" Nevaeh had tears brimming her eyes at the memory.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Yuri repremanded, "I can't believe you would go so low Sesshoumaru. To insult a girls recently dead grandmother. How horrible. I think you need to learn a couple of things before I give you this potion." She said with a gleam in her eyes. Sesshoumaru growled at her threatenly but she ignored it.
Nevaeh's eyes widened as she noticed everything around her begin to fade. The next thing she knew she was standing in a clearing of the forest.
"Damn it Yuri!" Sesshoumaru cursed. Nevaeh was confused and upset but said nothing. Instead she decided to conserve what little energy she had at the moment.
For some reason she was getting very tired. Her eyes just wouldn't stay open. She sighed as she fell on her knees with her hands in front of her bracing herself. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as he realized that Yuri must have done something to her. Nevaeh's breath was coming in short gasps and she could feel herself becoming dizy. Her vision darkened slightly and then she fainted.
Sesshoumaru growled. This would set them back at least a couple of days. He sighed as he picked her up and flew back to her house. When he got there he came up with a problem he didn't want to deal with. She was soaked to the bone because of the rain that had started as a drizzel on his way back. He didn't know what to change her into and wasn't sure how else to treat her since he didn't really know what was wrong with her. He groaned as he clutched his head. Whatever was wrong with her was effecting him. He had to do something fast.
He had brought her up to her room and was having difficulty figuring out how to get her wet clothes off. Growling in frustration he ripped them to shreds and covered her in her blankets. He too stripped out of his wet clothes and climbed under the blankets with her to share his body heat. It would not due for both of them to get sick, he reasoned with himself. Soon he feel into a deep sleep.

"Hello?" A voice echoed through the blackness, "Hello? Anyone?" It trembled slightly from fright as well as the chill. Sesshoumaru could not even see the hand in front of his face let alone who the voice belonged too. But he need not see her for he knew it was none other than Nevaeh.
"Over here."
"Sesshoumaru? Where are we?" He could here her stumble across the cloud like surface, trying to get to him.
"I'm not sure but I suspect we are in a dream. This is probably the effect that Yuri had hoped for." He shrugged and somehow he knew Nevaeh could feel it. He couldn't see her but he could feel her there, feel her move her head from side to side, looking for any trace of light. He had a feeling it had nothing to do with the fact he was human.
Nevaeh moved closer to him and burried her head in his chest, her fist clutching his shoulders. She was shaking and it wasn't until Sesshoumaru laid a hand on her shoulder did he realize she was freezing. Not only that, but he was just now realizing that they were both unclothed. He knew Nevaeh knew because he felt her blush. But she didn't push away. He figured she was too cold to be modest.
Sesshoumaru sighed as he sat down, startled when he began to sink. Nevaeh had fallen on top of him when she lost her balance and streams of light could barely be seen leeking through the cloudy floor. Nevaeh gasped and started clawing at the floor, trying to see where the light was coming from. It felt so warm. Sesshoumaru however sensed danger and quicky pulled her back.
"No! Let me go! It's so warm down there!" She struggled hard against his hold.
"STOP!" Sesshoumaru bellowed out and that one word had it's intended effect. Nevaeh relaxed in his hold, still shivering. "There is something down there. I don't know what but it is very dangerous. We will have to find another way out of here." As Nevaeh turned in his hold and started sobbing into his shoulder a voice boomed throughout the blackness.
"There is only one safe way out!" Yuri laughed, sensing Sesshoumaru's anger. "Would you like to know?"
She was teasing him, that much he knew. But he had to go along with it or they might not live. Stubborn pride of his is gonna get him killed one of these days. He sighed, "How do we get out?"
"Only one way! That girl of yours! She is they key! Make her fall in love with thee!" The giggles that followed were soon drowned out as Sesshoumaru shouted a loud 'WHAT?!?!" The voice faded away repeating the phrase, "Only one way! That girl of yours! She is the key! Make her fall in love with thee!"

Nevaeh woke up to a pounding headache. "Uhhhg. That was the weirdest dream I've ever had!" She exclaimed as she headed to the bathroom to wash her face. She glanced out the window and noticed it was a little before dawn. Her eyes caught a flash of white in the trees but she ignored it, thinking it was a bunny. She was getting dressed in her flowing white skirt that shimmered pink in the light, and the same material and color tube top and pulled her hair back with a white ribbon. She was startled by a knock at the door and when she answered it was even more surprised to find a man standing there dressed in white. The funniest thing is he resembled more of a dog than a man...Golden eyes, pointy ears, and a tail!
"H-Hello." She stumbled over her words a bit. He was just standing there staring at her!
"Hello. I am Sesshoumaru. I've been trveling for a while now when I came across your house. I was wondering if you could spare some hospitality?" He smiled charmingly at her as she opened the door wider for him. As he walked in, she couldn't help but stare at his beauty....
