Well minna-san another chapter done ^_^ I do not own Inuyasha

Last time: His tong explored her mouth it tasted good but tainted, he pulled away to see Mai's hand slap him across the face. He turned to her and glared. "I am not a simple female who can be won over by a kiss, I'm not remotely like a female. You better know that for the future," she said in a very icy tone. "You will learn as I need someone to protect my mate and they have to act female," he growled. "I will protect her my own way, as I was trained not a female," she said in a harsh tone. "Very well you will at least dress in something appropriate," he said digging hit claws in to her arms only no blood came out. "What's wrong with what I wear?" she said as Sesshoumaru forced another kiss on her to silence her. "You would not where them to met other lords would you?" Sesshoumaru said in her ear. "Yeah," she said since it was what she had always worn. "Not with me," he said using is poison to heal the marks on her face.

"You will wear what I tell you to, since you can no longer hide your self," he said as he held her face in his hand. "Do I have a choice of colours at least?" she asked having gone thought almost everything in her head and coming up with the same answer. "No it will be black and red but I will make sure you are able to fight fully in it," he said pleased that she had gave into him. He released his grip from her arms. 'What how come she does not bleed?' he asked hiding the surprised face. "Your claws are sharp you know, I may not bleed but I did feel them," she said rubbing her arm. "I see," he said letting her sit up finally. Mai stretched her wings they were firmly against her back the whole night. "That's much better," she said as her wings grew to be at least 10 feet long. Her wings were black with touches of white here and there. Mai flapped once and lifted her self from the bed and on to the floor. "What is it Sesshoumaru?" she said putting her cloths back on. "What do you mean?" he asked continuing to stare at her wings, they looked dangerous yet he wanted to touch them, like people were attracted to his tail. "If you want to touch them go a head," she said trying to get him to stop staring at her, it was annoying. Sesshoumaru stood up and touched the side of her wing it was soft. He stroked it causing Mai to purr like a pup. He smirked she was enjoying it, so he continued. "Sesshoumaru are you enjoying patting my wing?" she said now annoyed that he'd gotten the better of her. "Very much," he said now standing behind her. He rubbed where her wings met her back, she was purring like crazy. She had not had that done to her in a long time, it felt good. "Ok what do you want?" she said giving in to the sensation. "For you to teach Rin about things you know and for you to not to leave my side unless you're teaching Rin, when I'm with my mate or when I say so," he said running his fingers one last time down her wings causing her to giggle a little. "Fine," she said coughing a little then stopping.

'Koso I can't let him see the blood,' she thought coughing once more this time she coughed up blood. Thankfully her gloves were already blood stained so he probably would not notice it that much. Sesshoumaru watched as she coughed, she was in pain. And he smelt blood, fresh blood coming from somewhere. It was coming from her. "Don't hide it I can smell the blood," he said. "Its not *cough* my choice *cough* its nothing *cough* its normal," she said taking deep breaths trying to stop the coughing. "How do expect to fight in your condition?" he asked standing in front of her. "I've been doing it since I was young, like I said its normal," she said folding her wings in her back and putting her coat on. "Isn't they're anything you can do to stop it?" he asked not liking the fact that it made her look weak. "Yeah don't show emotions, no smiling or laughing," she said calming her self and her cough. "How long?" he asked feeling the need to find out more about her condition. "How long what?" she asked confused. "How long ago was it when you showed emotions with out with pain," he said helping her braided her hair. "What do you mean? I do not understand, I've always been like this," she said the fact hit Sesshoumaru harder then Inuyasha head. "How did this happen to you?" he asked wanting to kill the bastard that cursed her with short life and no emotions. "I don't remember who they were, they abandoned me to some cruel human family that then dumped me in to the pacific ocean," she said standing to her full height and falling to her knees. She didn't want to remember that pain of her past. "Pull your self together," he ordered. "I can't the memories are over powering," she said pain being clear in her voice. "Then forget," he orders picking her up by the neck. "I'm trying," she said as the scares on her face appeared. 'Those are not normal,' Sesshoumaru thought. "Sesshoumaru," she said quietly as he held her. Her legs gave and she fell, she waited for impact but it never came. Sesshoumaru had her in his arms. 'She's weak and yet she still wants to go on, she's stronger then I gave her credit for,' he thought as she tried to stand again but her knees would not.

"You can just put me in the forest and I will leave there when I have the strength," she suggested. 'What is she thinking?' he asked himself. "And if you don't?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Then I will be there until my job is done, then I will die," she said wishing he would. "I, Sesshoumaru would not do that. You will live until your life's end," he said for some reason just the thought of her wasting her life away worried him. "Very well," she said finally standing up on her own. "It does not matter to me, I've known about my death since I was born," she said placing her weapons finally in their right place.

~~~~~~~ Inuyasha and everyone

"Wrench we are not stopping," Inuyasha yelled back as Kagome asked to stop they'd been walking for 4 hours already and she was sore from walking. "Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. 'Oh ho,' Inuyasha thought. "OSWURAI!" she said and Inuyasha fell to the ground creating a crater in his image. "What did you do that for!" Inuyasha yelled pulling his face out of the ground. "Were resting," Kagome said sitting down under a tree. "Feh," Inuyasha said jumping on to a tree branch. "That's the sent from last night," Inuyasha said catching that scent once again it was mixed with someone else's, Sesshoumaru! Inuyasha let a low growl escape him.

~~~~~~ Sesshoumaru

Breakfast went uneventful, Sesshoumaru ate and Mai ate and let her mind wander. They ate in silence while Rin asked questions, which Mai answered vaguely. "Mai what is love?" Rin asked catching both hers and Sesshoumaru's attention. "I am not the one you should ask as I know none," Mai answered truthfully. "Were your parents killed too?" Rin asked sadly. "I never knew them," Mai said looking at the young girl, she reminded her of Kagome when she was younger. Mai never really was a child so none ever reminded her of her at the age. "Can Ane-chan teach Rin about the world, Sesshoumaru -sama," Rin asked with her innocent eyes. (A/n: Ane - means an older sister) "Does she know about the world?" Sesshoumaru asked looking to Mai. Mai turned her head and gave him an expression that said 'What do you think?' "Very well but I will watching," he said followed by Rin squeal of happiness. "After lunch, I have things I wish to discuses with Shinu," Sesshoumaru said as Mai rolled her eyes.

"Jaken take Rin to the gardens," Sesshoumaru ordered as Rin finished eating. "Come," he said walking down a hallway. Mai followed quietly. They entered a hot spring; it was big with smooth stone floors. Sesshoumaru stopped at the edge of the spring and turned towards Mai, who has stayed near the door. "Get undressed or I will do it for you," he said not turning around. Mai glared evilly at Sesshoumaru, she hated taking baths because then he'd smell her full scent. Mai removed her weapons first, making sure they were able to protect her if she needs it. She finished that and removed her coat then her sweater. Sesshoumaru watched in interest as more of her body was revealed to him. She had gotten down to her last layers, which were her shorts and her shirt. "I said get undressed which means all," he said appearing in front of her. "I will not," she said being hard to get at. "What don't you want me to see?" he asked forcing her to walk backwards against the wall. "None of your business," she said looking away. "But it is," he said slipping his hand under her shirt, lifting it up and off her body. Her body was thin, her breasts were not developed fully and the dragon made her body looked deadly. "Sesshoumaru," she whispered, she was going in to heat. "I can't resist you," she finished pulling her body closer to his. 'So this is her reason,' Sesshoumaru thought as her scent of arouse over took his senses. 'I can't give in to her scent,' Sesshoumaru said as he removed her shorts and both of them stood naked in each other's arms. 'I have to snap her out of it,' he thought walking towards the spring. "Sesshoumaru take me," she moaned trailing hot kisses down his neck. "No this is not right," he said throwing them both in to the spring.

Mai shook her head after hitting the water. "What the heck happened?" she said swimming over to the side. "You went in to heat and wanted me to take you," Sesshoumaru answered from the other side of the spring, waiting for her scent to calm before going close to her. "Gomen, I should I warned you betters," she sighed letting her hair down. "Is it always that bad?" he asked after a few moments of silence. "Yeah but usually someone senses it the day before and I'm confined in my room to work or out on a field assignment away from everyone," she said washing her body. "Is it really that bad when you're in heat?" he asked wanting to know how to avoid that situation next month. "Yeah but only if they come too close," she nodded thinking of some great pranks to play on Sesshoumaru and he could not do anything with her in heat. 'The old bucket of water over the door one will be a good start,' she thought getting out of the spring and getting dressed. "You will not dresses like that, the lords are coming with their children and mates tonight. We do not want them to run scared," Sesshoumaru joked. "True," she said managing a smirk with a bit of laughter in it. "I'll change when I have to I would like to teach Rin now," she said folding her wings and pressing her tail against her back. She put of her coat and left the room.

"She's strange," Sesshoumaru said as she left the room. "I'd better watch to make sure she does not teach Rin how to kill or find people's weaknesses," he muttered to him self not wanting her to know at such a young age. Sesshoumaru got dressed and preceded out of the room when a bucket of water fell on his head. 'Only one person I know who would dare to do that to this Sesshoumaru,' he said getting r4eally angry. "MAI!!!!!" he yelled so he would be heard by all youkai in a 5-kilometre range could hear him.
