A Demons Love

Akira. Alrighty then, enough boring more fun.
Akira woke the next morning to the smell of fish being cooked, there was a young girl sitting near the fire preparing four fish over the fire. Rin noticed Akira immediately. "Hello, I'm Rin what's your name"? she asked Akira sat up dizzily. This was the same girl she had seen sleeping last night. "Akira, my name is Akira". "It's nice to met you". said Rin sweetly. Rin's curiosity soon got the better of her. "What were you doing in the forest? How did you get hurt? How did Lord Sesshomaru find you"? My, what an inquisitive girl thought Akira. "I am a demon slayer, I was in the forest searching for the demon Sesshomaru, I have been hired by a local village to kill him". "Why would anyone want to hurt Lord Sesshomaru"!? said Rin who was absolutely shocked. "Because he is terrorizing the villages in this region". replied Akira "Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't hurt anyone"! said Rin stubbornly "Then explain this". said Akira turning around and showing the girl the gashes in her back. "It was your "Lord Sesshomaru" who did this to me. Then obliviously he brought me back here when I was unconscious". Sesshomaru then appeared at the mouth of the cave; he spoke to Rin. "Rin, I trust you slept well". "Oh yes". Said Rin with a large grin. He then turned to Akira "I see you are still among the living". Akira just looked away defiantly. "You may wish to clean yourself". he said to Akira "There is a stream not far from here, you may bathe there". Akira was becoming quite annoyed at the way he kept saying 'she may' as if he were allowing her to do so instead of asking her, but the idea of a bath sounded good for she had traveled for many days and was now covered in blood. She got to her feet painfully and heading in the direction in which he had pointed. She was still in terrible pain from her wounds. On the way to the stream she took advantage of the scenery. The sky was an absolutely perfect blue without a single cloud in the air. Its wasn't long before she found the stream. The water was completely clear and slow running. Akira looked down into the water at her reflection. She looked awful she had been soaked in blood and....her hair! When Sesshomaru had slashed her across the back he had taken off a great deal of her hair as well as broken through her thin armor. Her hair was now just two long pieces in the front with the rest at shoulder length. The girls in the village had envied her for her gorgeous waist length hair. "If only they could see me now". she thought. Akira undressed an got into the water. It was cold but refreshing. Not long after she had gotten in Rin appeared. "You might want these". she said sitting down a neatly folded pile of garments near the waters edge. She then turned to leave. "Rin". Said Akira "Now I have a question for you". Rin stopped and listened closely "What are you doing living with this demon. "Lord Sesshomaru treats me kindly, he saved my life". "It's all right". said Akira "You can tell me the truth". "I am". replied Rin "Really Lord Sesshomaru saved me. I was attacked by wolves and Lord Sesshomaru brought me back to life with his sword the Tetsaiga. He is also the first one to be nice to me since my family died. When they died I lived by myself in a tiny hut on the outskirts of a village. They were awfully cruel, no one like me and men from the village would beat me. Then I found Lord Sesshomaru in the forest near the village and few days later I died and he saved me then I just followed him because he had been nice to me. That's why I'm here I cook and do a lot of other stuff for Lord Sesshomaru. I'm very happy". And with that she turned and walked away. Akira was left there pondering what Rin had said. "He brought her back to life with his sword? That's not possible no one is capable of bringing back the dead human or demon. She could not have been telling the truth. Her story of kindness shown by this demon was inconceivable. When Akira finished bathing she put on the clothes Rin had left for her on the bank. "Now what". she thought "Should I return or should I run? I don't even know where I am. There was no sign of civilization anywhere and once again she was injured and without her weapon. There was nowhere to go but back. "Perhaps the girl is right, maybe I can trust him". but she struck the thought from her mind immediately. "What was I thinking, no demon can be trusted. I'll go back, it's possible I might be able to make some sort of deal with him. Do something in exchange for my freedom". When Akira returned to the camp Sesshomaru wasn't there. "Where has he gone"? she asked "No doubt he's out destroying the village that hired me". Akira said coldly. "You fool". Replied the toad like demon Jaken "Lord Sesshomaru must patrol the lands to keep lesser demons out of his territory. Do you know nothing". "So no other demons live in this area"? said Akira "No demon dares to invade Lord Sesshomaru's land". "No demons". she thought "I can escape if there are no other demons to threaten me. I shall run tonight while they are all asleep". Sesshomaru returned just as the sun was setting just as he had the evening before, Rin had made supper and they all ate. As Akira watched him she noticed he was not using his left arm, but when she looked closer she noticed he had no left arm! "I wonder what happened". she thought. Later that evening when Rin had gone to bed Akira asked him her question. "What happened to your arm"? There was no answer from Sesshomaru for quite some time, then he finally spoke "I lost it in a battle with my younger half brother". Jaken then started to speak. "If it weren't for that worthless half-breed InuYasha Lord Sesshomaru would still have his arm"! Akira gasped "InuYasha"? It couldn't be the same InuYasha she knew, could it? "You know him"? said Sesshomaru "Well....yes I believe I do. He's a friend of my parents". "And who would your parents be"? asked Sesshomaru "My father is Miroku, a monk and my mother Sango, a demon slayer". Jaken immediately spoke "My Lord, she is the daughter of that troublesome monk"! Jaken quite vividly remembered his encounter with Miroku and wished to forget it. "That can't be possible, what are the odds of this". wailed Jaken. Sesshomaru just continued to stare into the darkness. Akira lowered her head and gazed into the fire. She was suddenly concerned for her safety. Perhaps she should not have reveled her family, but how was she supposed to know. She had never heard of Sesshomaru from InuYasha, Kagome, or her parents. She had to leave quickly for now more than ever she felt her life was endangered. Sesshomaru rose for where he had been sitting. Akira held her breath, but he passed her and went straight to the cave without a word. Jaken then retired to a small shelter near the caves entrance. Akira remained sitting next to the fire. Once again she decided it was futile to try to find her way through the woods to an unknown destination in the dark of the night, besides there was no moon to see by. She would stay on last night and set out in the morning when she was not being watched. She sat close to the fire but this time she did not sleep.
