Thanks to my ONE reviewer. Ahem.

Dbox: Woo woo!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha and Co. If I did, I'd have Sesshoumaru tied up in my basement right now. ^_-

:: :: - Thoughts

Kyoko opened her eyes and found herself in a world of silk. She was clad in a blue silk kimono, decorated with silver fish. The sheets on her bed were also made of blue silk, and very comfortable. Kyoko was very reluctant to get up, even though she had no idea why she was in this beautiful place.

Suddenly it all came rushing back. "Nishirou, is dead," she whispered.

A cold, monotone voice responded, "Yes, and you killed him." Kyoko gasped.

"Who's there?" She said cautiously, afraid of the answer. As soon as she said that, a tall, handsome, silver-haired youkai stepped out of the shadows.

"I am Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands. I watched you defeat Nishirou. You are very powerful, but very careless. I took you here so that your wounds could be healed, and perhaps I could train you so that won't be blindly attacking." Sesshoumaru replied. Kyoko glared. ::Was that the only thing I brought her here for? She does have astounding beauty.::

"I am not careless! If you recall, I was sort of being raped," she retorted. She then tried to get up, but winced when she attempted to stand. "Damn it! My ankles are broken!" She looked down to observe her bandaged ankles. Realization dawned on Kyoko's face. "Who took care of my wounds? For that matter, who undressed me and put these clothes on me?!" She stared dumbfounded at Sesshoumaru. "Did. . . Did you clothe me? Ugh! Pervert!" Sesshoumaru inwardly smiled. He? Waste time with this female demon?

"You underestimate me. I am not like your former master. One of my servants bathed and clothed you. Not that you would remember, you were out cold. I hear you were quite a hassle." With that Kyoko slightly reddened.

"I. . . Didn't mean to be a problem. As soon as my ankles heal, I'll be going," Kyoko replied. Sesshoumaru walked up closer to her.

"You will do no such thing. I sense great power in you, and I want to help you use that power to your advantage." Then, Sesshoumaru pulled out a sword, but this sword was no ordinary blade. It shone like the Sun, and seemed to be made only of pure light.

"My. . . My sword!" she cried, excited to be reunited with her weapon. She yanked it out of his hands and stared at it with wonder. "How did you know where to find it?" she asked.

"It wasn't that hard," Sesshoumaru admitted. "You kept mumbling something about a sword of light, and about the back of the hut. So I looked, and I found this. It seems to be a very powerful sword." He eyed it carefully. "You are very attached to that sword. Did someone close to you forge it?"

"My brother," said Kyoko, "My best friend." Sesshoumaru looked curious. ::Her brother her best friend? InuYasha and I are far from that.::

"Is your brother no longer living?" Sesshoumaru questioned, eyeing the girls troubled expression. Her face then changed from solemn to angry in a split second.

"That is none of your business!" She said indignantly. Sesshoumaru looked almost amused.

"Fine. I shall ask no further. Since you have slept the day away, and I'm sure this pointless discussion is tiring you out, I suggest you go to sleep now, for tomorrow you will wake up at dawn, and your training will begin," he replied.

"Training. . .?"

END CHAPTER TWO! Okay, please R+R! And no flames. . . Please?
