A Demons Love
Disclaimer: I know no one reads the disclaimer but I just feel like its better I put it here than not have it, ok. I don't own InuYasha but I do
own Akira.
By the next day the rain clouds had completely disappeared and the sun was out making it a beautiful day. Akira was extremely glad to be outside again. She had been stuck in that cave for two days and everyone had started to get on each others nerves, for instance there had been about six times she would have loved to kill Jaken and she was sure he felt the same way about her. Spending two days talking to Sesshomaru Akira now realized she really had nothing to fear him the way she had in the beginning. Living with Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin was strange at first but now she found she was actually enjoying herself. Akira had almost forgotten how far away from home she really was. There was only one thing she still didn't understand, why had Sesshomaru saved her? She had been trying to kill him and when she was unconscious he could have easily finished her off, why didn't he. Was it possible that she had died and he revived her like he did Rin? The idea buzzed in her head like an angry bee until her thoughts were interrupted by Rin. "Akira, why don't you start the fire while I fish for breakfast, it will be faster that way". Akira nodded and smiled your right it will be faster and I'm glad you can fish well because I have never been very good. Rin and Akira laughed together at the joke she had just made. Sesshomaru then joined them. "Rin I'll get breakfast today". he said "I don't quite feel like fish today". "Then what will we eat"? asked Rin "I'll find something". replied Sesshomaru. This last statement worried Akira, hopefully he didn't mean something from one of the near by villages. Sesshomaru read her expression and responded "I won't be going near the villages". he said "I am just going for some fresh air and it will be more convenient that I bring back breakfast". With that he walked off into the forest. Akira has somewhat relieved by what he had said, it sometimes almost like he could read her mind.
Sesshomaru waited until he was out of Akira and Rin's sight before changing into his true form; the form of a gigantic white dog. It felt wonderful to fully stretch out. His human form was comfortable enough but in full form he felt more like the great dog demon he truly was. Having four legs again felt wonderful. Missing an arm he was still able to travel in his full form but he could not battle or do what he missed the most, run. Moments after transforming he took of at top speed down the mountain. He felt free again and as much as he hated to admit it but he owed this happiness to that girl. It was still a mystery to him why he had saved Akira but at the moment he was glad he hadn't hurt her. Caught up in the moment he let out a loud howl to scare away any lesser demons that had wandered into his territory during the storm and to express joy.
"What on earth was that"? said Akira when she heard Sesshomaru's howl. "Stupid human". muttered Jaken "That was just Lord Sesshomaru". "What"!? exclaimed Akira and Rin. "Lord Sesshomaru is a dog demon. He is probably hunting in his demon form". said Jaken exasperatedly "Demon from"? thought Akira, what she saw wasn't his demon form? She was extremely confused. Sesshomaru returned an hour later with a wild boar he had caught; after separating the meat form the skin Akira was finally able to make breakfast. It was approaching noon when they finished eating. To Akira the meal seemed to have gone very well she, Rin, and believe it or not Sesshomaru had had a very interesting conversation and she was beginning to like them all better every moment they were together. While she and Rin straightening things up Sesshomaru retreated to his cave and came back with a large bag of coins. "Here". he said throwing the bag to Akira. "There is town at the foot of the mountain with a large market place. You and Rin might like to spend the day there; there is nothing for you to do here". Akira was suspicious as to where he had acquired so much money but before she was able to enquire him about the moneys origin Rin was jumping up and down excitedly and pulling on her skirt. "Oh can we go, will you take me"? Akira smiled down at her "Of course I will". she said. It took quite a few hours to reach the village but it was worth the hike when they arrived.
The entire marketplace was alive with the sounds of people, animals, and the heavenly aroma of foods. Rin grinned widely and held Akira's hand tightly as they walked amongst the thick crowd of people that filled the street outlined with shops, booth's, and tents. Akira purchased a small cooking pot and vegetables saying to Rin "Tonight I can make a stew with the meat remaining from breakfast". The day grew hotter and each bought a fan; Rin's decorated with two white birds and Akira's with a large blossoming cherry tree. They then passed a shop with a man selling beautiful Kimono's. Akira stared at them; she had never owned anything that expensive and was amazed that in her hands she held enough money to buy one. Akira was hesitant about going into the shop but Rin sensing Akira's excitement was able to persuade her into changing her mind. Akira studied each one closely until she found the one she wanted. It was mint green with a woven pattern of peach flowers. Akira changed into the Kimono in a draped area in the shop; when she came out Rin stared at her smiling. "Wow". she said "You're beautiful". Akira turned and looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked. She looked more like a princess than she did a demon slayer. Akira stood there fixed on her reflection. She had never looked or felt so beautiful.
Akira and Rin were able to leave the market and return to the mountain top before sunset and Akira prepared an excellent stew whish she was complemented on by everyone, even Jaken. "I'm glad you like it". she said smiling. After dinner Rin couldn't wait to tell Sesshomaru what she and Akira had done that day. "...and then I got this". she said showing him her fan with the white birds "I had so much fun and Akira bought a very lovely Kimono that makes her look so beautiful...Akira show Lord Sesshomaru how beautiful in it, please". Akira reluctantly stood up and held the dress up to her body then wrapped it up again. She didn't wish to ruin it before she had a chance to wear it. Rin fell asleep early that night leaving Akira and Sesshomaru sitting together near the fire. Akira was feeling tired herself and thinking of retiring for the night when Sesshomaru broke the silence. "Thank you". he said Akira was confused "For what"? she asked "For everything. Rin greatly enjoys your company and with your help I feel like myself again". he said looking at his left arm. "I am grateful for your help, I was wondering if you would like to go somewhere with me tomorrow, it is the most beautiful place in the west, no human has ever set foot there. Would you like to go"? "Akira thought for a moment and then answered "Of Course". she said smiling. Sesshomaru nodded "Good. Might I request you where that kimono of yours, I would much like to see you in it". Akira smiled. "Get some sleep". he said "We'll go early and have lunch there". He then retreated to his cave. Akira laid down by the fire and fell asleep smiling.

Hi. Sorry I haven't been able to update lately. The company my mom works for sent her a voice mail telling her not to go on the computer because of a bad computer virus. So I had this chapter done a while ago but my mom wouldn't let me on the computer to update. This is the first time I've been on the computer in about a week. Oh and sorry if I don't update as often as you would like me to I'm in the middle of high school registration and my teachers and loading me with work so I just want you to know I will try to update as soon as possible. Don't give up on me I will finish this story. I plan all my stories from beginning to end before I start to write so I won't have any stories that go absolutely nowhere. Ok so bye for now and I'll try to update soon.
