A Demons Love

Disclaimer: InuYasha, not mine. Akira, mine. Ok

Akira had been searching for Sesshomaru for quite some time now. She grew tired and sat down against a large rock. "If only I had an idea where to find him". she said The lord had told her he dwelled on this mountain but had forgotten to specify where. Now she was lost on the side of the mountain. "I'll kill the demon, if ever I find him". she thought. Akira had not been slaying demons for long but doing so had sharpened her senses. She could sense the slightest movement of a nearby demon; she was sensing something now. She felt the presence of a demon, it was right behind her! Akira jumped up quickly just avoiding the demons claws which shattered the rock she had been sitting against. There in front of her stood the demon. He was tall with long silver hair and was dressed elegantly, on his forehead was a marking the shape of the crescent moon. "Sesshomaru I presume". said Akira "I have been told you have been sent to kill me". He said coldly "You are correct". said Akira "And I shall kill you". Sesshomaru just gave a menacing grin. "You". he said "Kill me. I highly doubt it". "We shall see". replied Akira drawing her sword. Sesshomaru charged toward her but Akira moved just in time to miss his attack. When Sesshomaru passed her blade grazed his cheek leaving a large cut. Sesshomaru lifted his hand to his face then pulled back his hand to see blood. "You will regret that". he said Akira attacked this time but Sesshomaru did not move. When she was only feet away he jumped into the air as she reached him. Sesshomaru landed right behind her and before she could turn he slashed her across the back with his claws. "What a fool I am". thought Akira as she fell "I should have known what he would do". when she hit the ground everything went black. Sesshomaru shook the blood from his claws and turned to walk away, it was then he noticed she was still breathing. "How can she still be alive"? he thought "No matter". he sighed drawing his sword Tojiken "I shall finish her now". He stood their for quite some time holding the sword over her body. Something kept him from bringing the sword down to kill her. "Why..". he thought "Why am I not able to kill her"? He finally lowered his sword and put it into its sheath. Then for an unknown reason he picked up the unconscious and wounded Akira and carried her to his lair at the top of the mountain. He did not know why he was sparing her life but for some reason he wasn't able to kill her. "What has come over me"? he thought to himself "first Rin and now this girl. Is it possible I am becoming like father? Could it be the Tetsaiga"? he pondered these questions in his mind as he climbed the mountain. It was nearing sunset when he reached the top. At the top of the mountain there was a nook in its side with a cave; the cave Sesshomaru called home. The spot had a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and the stream that ran down the mountains side, though Sesshomaru took no time to notice things such as this and if he did he wasn't particularly interested. He spotted Rin cooking three fish on a small fire. Sesshomaru wasn't fond of fish but had grown used to eating them for it was the only thing Rin could make. "Oh Lord Sesshomaru your back". said Rin happily when she saw him. "What is that"? said Jaken pointing to Akira. "A human girl I found in the forest". replied Sesshomaru. He laid Akira down by the fire and then sat down at the mouth of the cave. Jaken was puzzled. Why would he bring back this human?
It was nearly midnight when Akira regained consciousness. She laid there with her eyes closed. All she could feel was the terrible pain where she was wounded. "Where am I"? she thought. She couldn't be alive, could she? Akira opened her eyes and stared into the fire. She began to move her eyes around but could see nothing. Despite the pain she was able to sit up and look around, she was immediately surprised when she saw Sesshomaru sitting across the fire from her. "You". she said trying to crawl backwards. Sesshomaru turned his head to look at her "So you're alive". He said expressionlessly "Where am I? Where have you taken me"? she demanded Sesshomaru just turned to look the other way. "Answer me"! she shouted reaching for his sword, but it was missing. "Quiet". he said "You'll wake the girl". Akira turned around to see a young girl sleeping quietly in a large bed of leaves. She then looked at Sesshomaru. He rose from where he was sitting and walked to the mouth of the cave where he stopped and turned to Akira. "You may sleep by the fire". he said and walked into the cave without another word. Akira just sat there. "Should I run"? she asked herself "No, in my condition without my sword I would easily become the prey of a lesser demon. I am safer here, at least for tonight. She laid down but convinced herself she would not sleep. As the night went on she found herself feeling drowsy and was asleep within a matter of minutes.
