A Demons Love

Akira felt at ease lying there in the grass. Sesshomaru had fallen asleep and she was running her fingers through his beautiful silver hair. He looked so peaceful. This couldn't be the terrible demon the soldier had told her about. A week ago he was her enemy. She was confused, how could her feelings toward someone change so quickly. Akira could still feel slight pain from the gashes he had left in her back but couldn't bring herself to be angry with him anymore. He opened his eyes and smiled at her once again "Its getting late". he said Akira nodded in agreement. The sun had already started to set. She got to her feet looking around her trying to memorize every moment she had spent there. Akira then spotted a blossoming cherry tree. She was immediately reminded of home, and despite all that had happened today she now longed to see her family again.
"What's wrong"? Sesshomaru asked. Practically in tears she answered "I want to go home. They've probably stopped looking for me by now". Sesshomaru put his arms around her. "I'll take you then". he said gently. "Thank you". she replied. On the way back to the cave Akira began to feel drowsy and eventually fell asleep on the large dogs back. They were still far from their destination so Sesshomaru laid down and decided to call it a night.
Akira woke up confused and it was a moment before she realized She was still on Sesshomaru's back. He was still curled up asleep. She laughed softly to herself; he looked just like a giant puppy. Feeling Akira's movement Sesshomaru opened his eyes and turned back into his human from. In seconds Akira was lying on top of him, his face inches from hers. She felt an impulse to kiss him but rolled of to the side instead. "Good morning". she said shakily. Sesshomaru sat up. "Yes it is". he replied. There was a gentle breeze and the air was cool so they decided to walk the rest of the way back.

"I'm worried about Lord Sesshomaru and Akira". Said Rin. "They left yesterday afternoon and Lord Sesshomaru promised they would be back soon, But they not here yet". Jaken was getting fed up with Rin; He never really had liked her. But he was also wondering the same thing. What was Lord Sesshomaru doing with that girl? "There they are"! said Rin excitedly pointing to the forest. When Jaken looked at his master he almost fell over out of shock. Sesshomaru's face was no longer pale and expressionless. His eyes had softened, he wore a smile, and he seemed to glow. Plus to Jaken's horror Sesshomaru's laced with Akira's. He was now the one with a pale face and infact hardly looked as green as usual. "Are you ill Jaken"? asked Sesshomaru seeing the toads face. "Y yes my Lord, I do believe I am". he was feeling sick, or at least after seeing them he was. Sesshomaru turned to Akira. "Why don't you go change"? he said She nodded and gathered her old clothes from the cave and went to nearby patch of dense forest. She was no longer afraid of demons that might linger in the forest because there were none. Sesshomaru had informed her that no other demons came into his land, this meant she was safe.
Akira then heard the bushes behind her and quickly slipped on her dress. Rin immerged from the bushes. "Rin you scared me". she said. "Can I talk to you"? Rin asked. Akira nodded "Of course". they both sat down. "You really like Lord Sesshomaru don't you". Akira was surprised by her question. "W..well yes I suppose I do". she replied "You must". Rin said "Your turning the brightest shade of red". she said giggling. Akira had thought back on that morning and started blushing. "Well I like you a lot". Rin added "But I don't think you just like him. I think you love him". Akira almost fell over in surprise, Rin really wasn't afraid to say anything. She didn't answer to what Rin had said, she just turned a brighter red. "Don't be embarrassed". Rin said. "I think its cute. You both looked sooo happy. Well I'll let you finish dressing, hurry I'm going to make lunch". and with that Rin left.
Akira stayed sitting there with her arms around herself and staring at the ground. "It can't be true, there's no way I could fall in love with a demon. I've been slaying demons since I was twelve years old. He saved my life and I'm just grateful. But why did I feel the urge to kiss him? Does that mean I love him? What if I had kissed him"? Questions were buzzing in her head like a swarm of angry bees. "I have to go home". she thought "That's where I belong, not in a demons lair". She finished dressing and returned to them. Sesshomaru instantly sensed a change in her mood and addressed her. "Tomorrow we'll take you back". Rin went to bed early purposely leaving Akira and Sesshomaru alone. "Are you truly unhappy here"? he asked. Akira couldn't think of the right words to answer him. She wanted to stay but yet she didn't, so she didn't say anything. "I understand". he said. He then rose and came to where Akira was sitting, knelt and kissed her cheek. "Good night". he whispered Then walked into the cave. Akira brought her hand up to her face; she could still feel his lips on her cheek. She looked toward the cave, she longed to go to him but couldn't.

Kagome and Sango sat in Kaede's hut drinking their after dinner herbal tea. Shoro sat near his mother with Shippo playing a video game Kagome had brought him. Unexpectedly InuYasha and Miroku entered. "Oh you're back". said Kagome "We were getting worried about you guys". Both stayed silent. Miroku walked over and knelt next to Sango. "What's wrong"? Sango asked "Where's Akira"? He put his arms around her; she's not coming back. Crying she buried her head in his shoulder and Shoro clung to his mother trying to comfort her crying himself. Kagome wanted desperately to say something to help but couldn't think of the right words.
