A Demons Love

Disclaimer: Once again Akira is mine but I don't own InuYasha

Authors notes: OMG! I updated. See I told you I would soon. Am I good at keeping promises or what? Well I just wanted to say thanx to the people who have reviewed this fan fic. It means a lot to me, I love hearing what other people think of my stories. Right now I find it interesting that complete strangers will review each others fanfiction when I can't even get my own sister to read mine. Siblings today, no respect. Alright here's chapter 7
of A Demons Love, keep reviewing, enjoy!

The next morning was beautiful. Akira woke up earlier than anyone else; she almost hadn't slept a wink because the butterflies in her stomach had kept her awake. She had also begun to wonder why Sesshomaru was being so nice to her. He knew she had ties to InuYasha, and she knew he hated InuYasha; and when she had mentioned her parents Jaken recognized her father's name. If InuYasha had taken Sesshomaru's arm off they must hate each other terribly. Akira couldn't imagine two siblings hating each other enough to try to kill one another. She would do anything for her brother.

Akira went down to the stream to bathe and change into her kimono which Sesshomaru had requested she wear. Was he being kind to her just to get to her family and InuYasha? The thought made her ill but, was it wise to trust Sesshomaru? "No. I'm not going to think about that". she said to herself aloud. Akira felt better and continued to dress though the thought stayed hidden in the corner of her mind. She arrived back to find everyone eating. "So there you are". said Sesshomaru "Shall we go now"? he asked standing up from where he had been sitting. "I haven't eaten yet". Akira replied. "That's ok". said Rin "I packed you both something to eat". She then held out a good size bundle of food. "I suppose if your hungry we can wait". said Sesshomaru "No, that's alright". Akira replied quickly "I'm not that hungry, lets go". Sesshomaru nodded and walked into the forest with Akira following with the food.

They had almost walked a mile when Sesshomaru stopped. "Are we there"? Akira asked She looked around her; this place didn't seem very special. "No". he replied "Where we're going would take half a day on foot, but if I transform it won't take very long". "Transform"? said Akira "Many powerful demons have two forms, human form and demon form". he explained "What you are looking at now is my human form. Don't be alarmed at my demon form; you have nothing to fear". Sesshomaru began to glow so brightly Akira could not see his face. The light grew and took the shape of an enormous demon. When the light faded she found herself looking up into the eyes of a gigantic white dog. He laid down and motioned for her to climb on. Akira was hesitant at first but then remembered what he had said "You have nothing to fear". "I trust you Sesshomaru". she thought to herself climbing onto his back. His fur was soft and cloud white, infact she felt as if she were sitting on a cloud. She grabbed and held tight to the fur at the nap of his neck and he began to walk, faster and faster until they were at a full run. "I'm flying"! Akira thought, the wind rushing through her hair.

When they finally stopped Akira found herself looking over the entire mountain range; the ground covered in green grass and wildflowers. Sesshomaru resumed his human form and sat next to her in patch of tall flowers that almost covered them completely. "These lands belonged to my father when he was alive. Upon his death they became mine". said Sesshomaru with a tinge of sorrow in his expressionless voice. "How did he die"? Akira asked "You're father, what happened to him"? Sesshomaru sat in silence for a moment before answering. "Fighting his mortal enemy, a dragon demon. My father's allies had gathered to join in the fight, I was also there; I stood by him in his final battle. InuYasha however didn't come". Akira was surprised by this statement, InuYasha hadn't come to help his father? Why? "Where was InuYasha"? she asked. Sesshomaru replied "After the battle I went looking for InuYasha; I found him bound to a tree. I thought he was dead but fifty years later he came back". Akira sat silently listening to what he had to say then interrupted him. "You weren't the least bit sad when you thought your brother was dead"? she said "Didn't you love InuYasha just a little"? Sesshomaru didn't answer her immediately but finally spoke. "No". he replied "I have never loved anyone or anything completely; even my family. My mother raised me and taught me to be heartless. She said it wasn't right for a demon to care, it made them weak. She hated humans terribly, and I grew up hating them the same. My mother was my father's mate but not his life mate. He chose a human girl, InuYasha's mother, to be his life mate. My mother died trying to kill her. InuYasha was born soon after that. I've hated him since the day he was born". Akira was speechless and felt terribly sad for him. He had never loved anyone, how could that be possible. He always looked so sad and now she knew why; how she wished she could make him smile.

Sesshomaru sensed her discomfort "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trouble you. Let's not talk about that anymore". he said laying his hand on hers. When he did this her heart stopped for a moment. She looked up at him and smiled; he smiled back.
