Solonque walked through the forest searching or waiting for Naraku. She wanted her brother back and the curse off her, so they could live peacefully. She would do anything to get what she wanted, and she meant anything. She heard a rustle behind her and she stopped. She sniffed the air and sighed. "Okay Naraku. I want to make a deal."
The shadow of him appeared in front of her now. "Haven't you learned your lesson? Now, what do you propose?" He asked under his baboon mask.
She swallowed. "You can have me… if you let my brother out of your possession."
Naraku smirked under the veil. "You're very persistent aren't you? Well, I guess I can make a deal with that." He appeared next to her and hit her in the back of the head. Her eyes widened staring at him then went blank as she went unconscious. She fell limp into his arms. He gave a small cackle and disappeared. When he arrived at his quarters, he laid her on his bed. "This should be quite interesting."
Krowa stepped into the room. "You called me master."
"Yes. Look at your sister. She gave herself to me to get you out of my possession."
Krowa froze as he said it and looked down to his sister lying on the bed. He walked towards her but was stopped by Naraku. "Why?" He asked looking at his master, or use to be till she made the deal.
He smiled. "She loves you, that's why. You may go now. You aren't mine anymore." Krowa sighed and walked out of the room towards the woods. "Now, what shall I do with you?" He asked himself and stood walking over to her. She moved around in her sleep and groaned. "What the hell?" She said in her sleep. "Sesshoumaru?" "Oh yes, him. I think I shall toy with him." He smirked under the veil of the baboon mask. He stroked her cheek then smiled when moved.
~ ~ ~ In her sleep ~ ~ ~
She opened her eyes and gasped at what she saw. It was pitch black and she looked down to see nothing, it was like she was standing on nothing. "What the hell? What's going on?" She swallowed and took a step forward. Suddenly a field of flowers appeared. She looked around and saw a hooded figure. She called to it. No answer. She called out to it again and the person turned around slowly. She gasped eyes widened as she saw who it was. "Sess… Sesshoumaru?" He had blood dripping from his fangs and was holding a head. She looked closely and swallowed. It was her friend's, Horrance's. "Why did you do it Sesshoumaru?!" She yelled taking a step to him. "Blood…" He said, and smirked. His face and eyes showed a sign of him wanting to kill. "Sesshoumaru?" She took a step back. Her heart started to beat very fast, it felt like she just got done running a very long distance and she felt exhausted. He started to walk towards her. "What are you doing?"
"I shall kill… I want you." He shook his head and a shocked and confused face appeared. "What… happened?" He looked at her then sighed looking down to his blood-covered hand. He blinked as he saw Horrance's head in his grasp. He looked back up to her and swallowed. "Solonque… What's going on?"
She took a step back panicking that it was a trick that he was pulling. "Get away from me!" She yelled as she threw out her hands in front of her. A light appeared in front of her and she stared at it. "What the hell?!"
Sesshoumaru stepped back at what she was doing. "Solonque! I'm okay! I won't hurt you!" He reached out a hand to her and smiled but also showed fear in what was happening in his face. She shut her eyes shut and yelled once more for him to leave.
~ ~ ~ Where Sesshoumaru is outside her dream ~ ~ ~
Sesshoumaru lay back against a tree looking to the sky. He was so tired. This day really tired him out, Rin was going everywhere with him, and he was also worried about Horrance. He closed his eyes going into a deep sleep.
~ ~ ~ Back to her dream ~ ~ ~
All of a sudden all was quiet. She stood there for a second afraid to open her eyes then felt something around her. She opened her eyes and looked up to see Sesshoumaru hugging her. She panted. What the hell was going on?! She was so confused. She felt his arms tighten around her and she sighed leaning her head on his chest.
He sighed. "I want to tell you something…"
She looked up to him and blinked. "What is it?"
"I… I love you Solonque." He smiled bringing her closer to him.
She smiled as he said those four words. They were the words that she always wanted to hear, especially from him, her one and only love. She laid her head back on his chest and her tail sunk to the ground. This was the most joyful moment thing in her life, and it for him. He had finally gotten it out, told her that he wanted her forever until they died. She snuggled into him. He picked her up and sat down placing her in his lap. He wrapped both of them with his tail and laid his head on her's. Her happiness grew then she froze as the light that went through her disappeared. She opened her eyes to meet with darkness. Sesshoumaru was nowhere in site and she panicked. She tried to stand but couldn't, she just stood there frozen and looking around for a way out. A pair of green eyes came to meet her gaze and she froze even more. She tried to call out to the thing but it seemed that she didn't have the will to speak. She blinked as the eyes came closer. "You…" It called out. "You, I want you." She felt a finger harassing her cheek and she sighed. It felt so warm; she closed her eyes once more without fear and in her sleep, fell asleep.
~ ~ ~ End of dream ~ ~ ~
Solonque woke and opened her eyes to meet Naraku's eyes. She blinked and looked down. "I see you're awake." He stated.
She growled. "Leave me alone… Please."
He took his finger off her cheek and left the room. She sighed and looked around sitting up. "Sesshoumaru…"
Horrance woke and sighed. She slowly sat up looking around. She touched her arms. Was it a dream? Did Sesshoumaru really touch her, really save her from certain death? She smiled and stood with help of the pole of the bed walking over to the balcony. She couldn't sense her anymore. Solonque was gone.
Solonque stood and walked over to a window. She gawked. The view was beautiful. It was over a cliff with a glimmering silver lake, thousands of colors for the flowers that seemed like a painting, trees of all kinds and the clearest blue sky she had ever seen. Or that's what she thought. "It seems you like the view. That's good." Came a voice. She froze at it. "Didn't I say leave me alone?" She commented to the voice. "Yes, but this is my room. Is it not?"
"Yes it is, but I asked you to go, and once again I ask you to please leave me alone for a while." She begged closing her eyes as a gentle breeze blew her face. Naraku looked at her. She looked quite peaceful there, he didn't wan to disturb now. She was enjoying the stay though she did make the deal and would never want to be around him if she had the choice. He left with out a sound till she would come out on her own. Solonque was happy; this was wonderful. The wind felt so cool and soothing and made her want to sleep some more.
Sesshoumaru woke; it was one of the shortest naps he had ever had. He just couldn't sleep thinking about her, the girl that was in trouble from cold and then her, Solonque, who had always made him feel weird whenever he was around her. He sat up and sniffed in the fresh, cool scent of flowers. But hey were missing something. Solonque's scent wasn't there like usual. Her scent was always there. Where had she gone off now? She knows that she shouldn't be up in her condition. Why was he worrying about her, why? He had never worried about anyone. Why was he starting it now? Why did he feel this way for someone? His feelings changed like everyday. Sometimes showing his feelings, and other times showing a hard, stone cold face that showed he acted like a Lord. He stood and started looking for her scent.
