*Spirited Hearts*

Chapter Six



"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.

Nevaeh led the way to her kitchen and mad some tea for the two of them. "So..." She had to break the silence. It was unerving her, "Where do you come from, Sesshoumaru?" She asked as she poured the tea.

"I am from the western parts of Japan. I've been traveling almost a month now." He sipped at his tea as he watched her. She was nervous he could tell. "I've been searching for someone. I'm not sure where she lives nor am I sure of her name. She is a great healer and witch. Very popular from what I heard..."

Nevaeh gasped, "Do you mean Sara?"

Sesshoumaru looked thoughtful for a moment before answering, "Yes I suppose thats her name. Sounds familare. Do you know her?"

"She was my grandmother." Nevaeh bowed her head, trying to hold off tears. "She died last night in her sleep."

"I'm so sorry to hear that. You must be Nevaeh that she would always talk about then." Sesshoumaru set his cup down and stood up. "Sara spoke fondly of you and it was her wish that we meet and wed."

Nevaeh dropped her tea cup, not noticing it shatter on the floor. "I don't understand. She never said anything of it to me. Who are you?"



Yuri smirked as she watched them through her mirror. He certainly worked fast. And that bit about Sara wanting them to wed....Impressive. She watched as he produced a forged will, showing it to a stunned Nevaeh.

Yuri wasn't all bad. She did take the girls memory, making it easier for her to fall in love with him. She giggled as she heard Sesshou's thoughts, 'When I get my hands on her...' He trailed off with a growl and Yuri burst into a fit of laughter at her plan. They were still in her little world. She can control it, making it look just like the girls cottage. Yuri beamed proudly at her handy work.





As Nevaeh sat on the couch reading over her grandmothers will, Sesshoumaru stood up. "I know this is all too sudden. I should have gotten here sooner. I'm sorry." He bowed to leave, but was stopped by Nevaeh.

"Wait! I-I don't want to disapoint her. If this is what she wanted...." She was staring at her feet, embaressed. "I-If you don't mind"

Sesshoumaru smiled, "Not at all. If what she has told me about you is true, I'm possitive I'm already in love with you." He smirked at her gasp and pulled her into an embrace, kissing her cheek.

With his charming ways it didn't take long for Nevaeh to fall head over heels in love with him. As they reapeared in the darkness. Nevaeh gasped, falling to her knees, clutching her head in pain. A torrent of memories pushing their way back into her brain. She couldn't take it and ended up fainting from the onslaught.



"Nice work Sesshoumaru." Yuri said as she floated down to where he was holding Nevaeh. "I see you have fallen as well though. What an unexpected change." Yuri giggled at his growl. "Oh and clever using her will like that. Even if it WAS true!"

"Are you gonna let us out now or what?!" Sesshoumaru growled.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. How rude...." As her voice faded, so did the darkness. When Sesshoumaru awoke he was in bed, holding a sleeping Nevaeh.
