I thank all of you that have reviewed me! The other story I did I got quite a few reviews but I lost the place where I was and so I just deleted it off my disk. And plus I'm typing my stories know so it's quits easy knowing where I am if I don't delete the thing off my disk. I'm so happy! I finally got some words and meanings of them in Japanese! I always wondered what 'hai' meant whenever I was chatting with my friends on AIM! But really I just kept forgetting what it meant after a while when I wasn't talking to them. I'm so happy! I'm going to try and use the words so try to bear with me if I don't say them the right way in a sentence. But one of them I wasn't sure about the spelling and meaning so please tell me what it means if it isn't said the right way.

Chapter 7 'Love Lost, Love Found'
~ ~ ~
A few hours later Solonque was finally ready to go out of the room. She still didn't like the deal that she made with him but she wanted to get her brother away from him. She froze in her place as a thought came to her mind. Did Krowa have a spell on him so he wouldn't die? If he didn't, would he be able to defeat Inuyasha? No, he wouldn't be able to. He was too young to be that powerful! She ran out of the room to look for Naraku so she could ask him if Krowa would die. She now totally worried about her younger brother. He was all she had left of her family ever since Inuaysha came to her home and killed everyone that she knew of for the jewel that she had found. She managed to escape with her brother but didn't have time to save the rest of the family. She and her brother managed to escape but were killed by Naraku when she wouldn't give up the jewel shard. She told him to run from them so he wouldn't bother with him but he just killed him after her when he got the jewel.
Kami knows where he was now! He did go pretty much everywhere looking, taking, or going along with his plans to get the rest of the jewels. She looked around and saw someone sitting by a lake. The figure looked quite familiar, but who was he? She walked over to him and coughed to get the person's attention. He turned around and she was stunned by how he looked. He was a handsome fellow, long wavy black hair going down his back, and it looked like he had a little blue eye shadow or something on his eyelids. "Hai? What do you want?" The man asked.
She blinked still staring at him. She shook herself back into reality and smiled. "Uh… Do you know…." She stopped as his scent came to her and she knew whom it was. "May I ask you a question Naraku?"
He looked at her puzzled but didn't show the confusion on his face. "Hai, what is it?" He asked and turned back to lake. (It's weird, why do I put everyone by a lake! I guess I just think it's good if they are there! And I also love swimming so that's probably another reason! *laughs falling off chair and down the stairs* Hey that was fun! *does it again* Okay , sorry, back to story.)
She looks down to the ground sighing. "Will my brother die if he fights someone like Inuyasha who is stronger than him?"
"Hai. Naze?" (I'm not sure what 'naze' means but I guessed…)
She sighed sadly. "Then can he stay here but not do anything?" She looked at him seriously. She was determined to save her brother, no matter what happened to her. "Please, can he stay?"
Naraku looked at her. She was quite determined to save or do anything to protect her brother. This amused him, but it also made him wonder why she loved him so much. He stood still looking at her. "Why do you want to protect him? Why do you love him so much?" He brought her chin up so he could see her once she explained why, if she explained. She growled telling him that it was none of his business, and slapped his hand away. She growled again and walked away forgetting about what just went on and what she just asked him. She walked around his quarters and came across a room. It was dark around it. The wood was dark, also. Wonder what could be behind there. She smirked and started to open the doors then was grabbed up into the air by the throat. She grabbed onto the hand that was holding her. "Never go in there!" A voice barked behind her. It was Naraku she assumed by the tone of his voice.
She slowly nodded and coughed. He was holding her quite tight. He must be very serious about her not able to go in there. He gave a growl then set her down walking away. He thought she would go there or try to see what was there. She looked like a girl that wanted to know everything even if she was killed trying to do it. Solonque fell to her knees clutching her throat. He could get a pretty good grip when he was angry. She knew from that moment on that she would not do that again or else she would be very badly hurt if she tried it again. She looked up to the doors again then growled as she felt her throat with a few claw marks on her neck. 'He will not do that again!' She barked to herself. She stood and walked somewhere else so she wouldn't get her ass kicked if he found her near the doors.
She walked around till she saw a dojo. She smiled. She loved dojos. They helped her get the stress and anger out. Though she hadn't been in one in a long time since she used to be Sesshoumaru's servant. She sighed; she missed him, but she didn't know why, probably because she loved him. She shook herself out of her thoughts and looked back to the doors. She needed to quit thinking about him; she would never see him again and she was sure of it. She opened the doors and gawked. It was a very large one, and she like it that way. She looked around and saw weapons hanging on the wall. Walking over she took a sword noticing a shadow that looked like Naraku's but dismissed it, and she started to swing it around with ease.
She smiled as it came back to her; her memories. The happy ones at least and thanked kami for that. The one she liked most of it was when her father told her that she was an excellent swordsman, though she wasn't a man, but she didn't care for this was the first time when he appraised her. Most of the time it was her brother that got it. He was a man after all, or soon he would be. She loved to fight and she guessed that she got it from her father for he always fought someone outside of her home.
After a few hours of training or messing around she called it quits. She went outside of the castle to take a look around. As she was looking around in the flowers for enjoyment she heard a soft distant cry. She strained her ears so where she could her it better. It sounded like a young girl. She didn't know if she was a youkai or mortal so she just followed it. She stopped seeing her crying in a tree. She was defiantly youkai for she smelt like it, and she also was in a tree. She jumped up to her and put her hand on the girl's shoulder. "Are you alright little one?"
The girl froze. "I… can't find… my mother… I know she was… here somewhere… a few hours ago… but then she…just disappeared after I left… to go get some flowers… for her… Her scent isn't even here… either!" She cried out to her and buried her head into her hands once again.
Solonque sat down next to her and wrapped her arms around her like a mother would. "It's okay. She'll come back soon. She might have gone somewhere so she can protect you from another demon."
The girl stopped crying once she said that. "That's what my mother would have said when my father disappeared." She looked up to her and smiled. "Mother…"
Solonque blinked and laughed slightly. "I'm not your mother. I'm sorry."
"But you look just like her, you smell like her, and you talk like her also!" The girl's golden eyes glowed with glee and joy for she thought that she found her mother. The girl's hair went with her eyes and made her look like she was glowing from how the sun hit her hair.
She wrapped her arms around her and laughed excitedly. "What took you so long mother?! I was so worried about you!"
Solonque unwrapped her from around her waist and held her in front of her so she could get a good look at her. She had her eyes and hair. Her markings though definitely resembled her's. She had that quarter moon on her forehead with the dot, but it was a different color. How could she have her markings, hair, and eyes? Was she really her daughter? She was so confused, so she just stood and walked away saying nothing. The girl followed though, still believing that she was her mother.
Solonque stopped and turned to her. "Will you quite following me! I'm not your mother!" She barked and walked off again.
The girl smiled more. "Come on mom! Quit playing these games! It's starting to not be that fun!" She sighed and followed her still. Solonque was getting irritated by her and her problem of following. She must have been fixed on the idea that she was her mother. She finally gave up after and few hours of her following and picked her up heading to where she was suppose to. She stopped as a familiar scent came to her nose. It was Sesshoumaru's. She sighed and disregarded it heading back to where Naraku was.
Sesshoumaru stopped as he was heading back to his castle for he gave up looking for Solonque. Her scent wasn't anywhere that he knew of. He pretty much went everywhere on his lands looking for her. But this time it came to him, right under his nose. He couldn't believe that he missed it the first time or else he didn't want to. He smiled and smelt of where it was going by looking for the older part of it. He followed it going quite fast.
Solonque and the girl were having a fun time. She stopped so the girl could get a drink but then she started to play in the water after she splashed her playfully. She smiled as she got out of the water and laughed wringing her hair out. The girl sighed as she knew that she had given up on playing for this moment. She came out also and did the same thing.
Solonque smiled as she picked her up again and walked. They both started to laugh as they both saw two deer… (You know…*smirks and laughs slightly*) Then they stopped as Sesshoumaru came into view, though the girl was scared at why he was here.
Solonque sighed sadly, closing her eyes and walked past him. She knew that she couldn't return with him for that damn deal that she made with Naraku.
Sesshoumaru was quite shocked by her attitude. No one had just ignored his presence and walked away. "Why are you doing this Solonque?"
She ignored him and kept on walking.
"Answer me!" He barked and grabbed her arm before she went out of his reach.
She took it back and walked again. "That is none of your business Lord Sesshoumaru." She barked going back into the trees. She hadn't even noticed that the girl had jumped off her shoulders' and next to Sesshoumaru, staring at him.
He noticed though and blinked as the girl's joyful smile came to her face. It sort of annoyed him, though it was like Rin's. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked crossing his arms to try to scare her away. It didn't work though, the girl seemed to be afraid of nothing.
She smiled wider and clung herself to his leg. "Daddy!" She yelled looking up to him.
He jumped as she did that. "I am not your father!" He stated as he tried to pry her off. "Let me go you little wench!" He barked. She was holding onto him so tight. He wanted to get her off with his claws but didn't want to hurt her.
Solonque heard his cry for help it seemed to sound like and she looked back to him. He looked so funny and cute trying to get her off. It was pure enjoyment to watch him do that. She smiled and walked over kneeling down to her. She started to pet her head and singing a low song to loosen her grip. The girl sighed and let her grip go as she enjoyed the treatment. She picked her up and looked at Sesshoumaru who was shocked and yet relieved that she had gotten her off with a smile. She stood and walked away again with a sigh.
Sesshoumaru followed. "Where are you going and why did she call me father?" He looked own to the girl who was cradled in her arms like a baby with her head still being pet.
"I don't know, she said that I also looked and acted like her mother. And I went because I wanted to." She turned her head from him.
Sesshoumaru could smell and sense that she was lying, but he knew that she would probably not tell him why she went. So he just decided to follow. A shadow appeared in front of them and they all froze except for the girl for she fell asleep.
(You probably know who it is but you'll have to see who it is in the next chapter! *laughs evilly*)
