"So you're the person who brung me into the village?" Lily simply asked, not believing that a demon like him would do that. The demon had long bluish and whitish hair; he had amber eyes and wore this fluffy thing on his shoulder and armor. He had two swords at his side. "His name is Sesshomaru and the little girl is Rin. I'll go get some tea." Ashley quickly said and left. Presuming that Ashley could trust him, Lily just sat down across from the demon. "I got tea ready." Ashley came by with cups and tea for everyone. "No thanks," Lily not liking teas just refused. There was a long silence in the house. Deciding that she should go, Lily just stood up and left knowing that she would not get answers from anyone.

// Out of all the villages that I had to stay, it had to be Kaede's village. // This angered Lily of the thought for some reason as though there was something bad that happened to her when she was here before.

*At Ashley's house*

"Is she always like that?" a deep voice asked Ashley when Lily left the house for no apparent reason. "Yes," came a sad reply. "Why?" Sesshomaru suddenly asked knowing that there was something between the two for Ashley to be suddenly sad. "Well... it happened two years ago when a band of demons attacked the village and injured Kaede. Since Kaede was hurt, well she couldn't use much of her powers. The demons took advantage of this and almost slaughtered the whole entire village. Some of the unlucky folks that were killed were my family and friends. When they were killed, this angered Lily. She went out for revenge and killed the leader and the whole entire 200 members of the gang. After that she never really got close to anyone or talked to them except me." Ashley said in a sad tone. Sesshomaru just stood and left before telling Rin to stay with Ashley because he will be back.

Once out of the door, he went to where Lily reside in the village while she was unconscious. At the doorway, no one was there. The fire was extinguished and the bed made neatly. Just before walking away, he could hear a sweet melody being played far away. Curious who could be playing it followed the music. // Where have I heard this music before? Why is it so familiar? // With these thoughts, he continued after the music. The sound led him to the north hillside. There were no more dead bodies anywhere, almost like as though they just disappeared.

He continued to follow the music. It was noontime so the forest was quiet bright. Continuing at where the music was being played, it soon stopped. Though when it stopped, it was straight ahead and was quiet loud for his ears. Sesshomaru continued to walk straight until it led him into a clearing where there was a lake and a large rock. The lake seemed to be very deep into the forest and far away from the village.

His gaze saw Lily holding a flute and looking at the lake before her. Her hair flowing with the wind and her gaze was deep into space from thinking whatever is in her mind.

Lily had a feeling that someone was watching her. She turned her cold gaze at the person looking at her. To her surprise was the dog lord Sesshomaru. // Why is he here? // She quickly turned her gaze back at the lake. There was a hand on her shoulder. Lily quickly drew her sword and slashed at whom ever was behind her. The person behind her a moment ago vanished. // Go dammit! He got away! //

"Where are you looking at Lily?" there was a cold tone voice infront of her. She turned around and saw Sesshomaru standing infront of her. Lily jumped off the rock. Landing on the ground, Lily collapsed from the huge pain that got her off guard when she landed. To her surprise, Sesshomaru caught her before she fell down. "What do you want!" Lily yelled at Sesshomaru losing control of her emotions. "I just want to know where you learned how to play the music of the flute." Sesshomaru said with a little warmth in it. Surprised why he wanted to know Lily stood there thinking whether she should tell him or not.
