Solonque growled and sighed. "What do you want?"

Naraku walked closer then stopped a couple feet away. "I was wondering why you went out of the castle grounds without my permission."

She smiled. "I heard a little girl cry so I followed it." She walked towards him then past.

Sesshoumaru just stood there. How could she be so calm around him, after all, he did take her brother into his possession and made him fight her. "What are you doing Solonque?" He said and took a step towards her.

She walked on not answering.

He started to walk to her but was stopped by Naraku. He looked down to him and growled. "What did you do to her?!"

"I did nothing. She made a deal with me."

He looked at him. "What kind?"

"She said that she would be mine if I would let her brother go out of my possession." He smirked under the veil then disappeared. He growled. What had she done?! She was an idiot to do that?! He followed her. "Why did you do it?" He asked.

She looked from him. "I wanted to. Why is it your business?! Why do you suddenly care?!" She turned her eyes to him with an eager face but also mad from his rudeness.

"I want to know. You just went of without telling me then you disappeared without a trance!" He stepped in front of her, hoping she would stop and stay there.

She growled and walked around him. "Leave me alone."

He turned to her. "Why should I? I care about you."  He looked down to the ground sadly.

Solonque stopped and looked at him. "You really do care don't you…  Heh… finally…"

He looked up to her. "What do you mean?" He asked walking to her and wrapped his arms around her but not around the little girl. She laughed and looked up to him. "I love you Lord Sesshoumaru." She smiled and looked down to the child in her arms. She started to pet her head again trying to keep from blushing. He froze and then smiled as it went through his head. He tightened his grip and put his head on her's. He wanted to say the same thing but it wouldn't come out of his mouth when he opened it. He unwrapped his tail from around his shoulder and around them both. Solonque stopped petting the child's head and froze. He never did this to anyone, not even Rin who he was very close to but wouldn't show it if he meant to. And as he wrapped her with his tail a saying came to her memory. Her mother told her it, saying that this happened or seemed to happen to her when she fell in love and he returned it back. It went like this.

*They say there's a girl trapped in a castle, guarded by a fierce dragon that breathes fire of deathless abyss. It doesn't kill you but it takes your soul so it shall never return to you. But then they say that there's a young teen boy whom shall destroy and save her. The boy will save her but shall die doing it. She will weep over his lifeless body for eternity. She stayed with him forever crying that he would come back, but she dies doing it from old age and starvation. She dies and stays there by his side once again but as an angel; a spirit that never could rest in peace. So the centuries went on and she became a legend, a folktale, and a myth because whoever would come near her would die. Their bodies would stay there never and disintegrate.* (Solonque is my character that is usually me but not in this one… though I wish it was me. *lol* I thought she would be perfect for this fic.)

She opened her eyes and sighed, as her mother was right about what she said, about the myth that she was told. She smiled as a tear of joy came down her cheek. "…Sesshoumaru, do you love me?" She closed her yes again.

He opened his and removed his tail from around them and took the child out of her arms laying her on the ground. He wrapped it back around them and laughed. "…Yes… I do." He slowly said. He never thought he would say he loved someone, not ever until now. "I wanted to tell you before you disappeared but I was too stupid to say anything."  He loosened his grip of his arms around her to turn her around to face him. He smiled, blushing slightly and wrapped his arms around her again but also giving her a passionate kiss.

She froze as he did that but returned it closing her eyes making it more pleasurable and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was very free-minded of what was going to happen next if she was thinking right, like a normal female youkai. She happened to be thinking right and she knew as he started to move from her lips to her neck. After a minute or so of him kissing her neck she felt a small pain. She winced at it but overcame and panted opening her eyes to meet his. She smiled and he did too. He picked her up sitting down next to a tree and her on his lap. She closed her eyes laying her head on his chest and fell asleep. He smiled and lay his on her's and fell asleep also.

Later that night the girl wakes from her sleep and smiles as she looks around seeing them. She laughed and ran away to find her mother and father so she thought.
