AT THE HOT SPRING

Nefertari looked around at the hot spring. She sighed deeply as she dropped the bag and opened it. She took out three glass containers with three different colored liquids. Nefertari opened them and poured a couple drops each and got in herself, after taking off her clothing. She closed her eyes and relaxed as the smell of jasmine, vanilla, lavender filled the air. (A/N: If you ever lit those types of candles together, you would REALLY relax yourself.)

WITH INU AND THE GANG

Inuyasha was up in a tree watching over the group and listening to their conversation about Nefertari. "To me, she doesn't seem like the 'positive' type if demon. I was surprised that she treated us like we were normal beings that she sees everyday," spoke Sango as she polished her boomerang. Kagome nodded, "She seemed nice, but she did kind of had a cocky attitude."

"Ya' damn right she did. I didn't like the look she gave me when she glared at me. It was as if I was the scum of the Earth," responded Inuyasha. "Well, Inuyasha, you are a DOG and she is a CAT. Cats and dogs don't go together," said Shippo looking up at him. Miroku nodded in agreement, "It's all a too common thing."

"And may I ask what is an 'All to common thing'," Nefertari asked from behind him. She was dressed in a dark azure dress similar to the one she was wearing earlier with her hair in a low ponytail and her bag thrown on her shoulder. The group looked at her. "We were wondering if you have any place to stay," asked Kagome. Nefertari shrugged, "Yeah. It's a summer home I have here in Japan. It's located in the Western lands, so it will take about a day or two to get there," she said as she sat down near the fire Miroku made during the girls' conversation.

"How about you join us," Sango suggested. Nefertari thought about that for a moment and finally agreed to, "All right. I'll do it, and for dog-boy up there, I'll be off your hands when we get there and it'll give you a place to rest until you're ready to leave."

Inuyasha thought about what Nefertari said. 'She is staying within Sesshoumaru's domain? She must be fucking crazy! Unless...she is of higher standards than what I thought,' Inuyasha looked down at them. The only one awake now was Nefertari, but she was in deep meditation. He landed right in front of her.

"What exactly are you? I thought you were just from a noble family, but I think it's something else," he growled. She just calmly opened her eyes and looked up at his standing form. Nefertari smirked, "That's for me to know...and for you to never find out until it's the right time, pup," she responded. Inuyasha just did his usual 'Feh.' remark and jumped back into the tree. Nefertari closed her eyes in deep thought and meditation. 'If only he knew...' she thought before she took out a blanket and laying on it to sleep.

Tari-Sama: What is Nefertari really? What did she mean by thinking 'If only you knew'? Will I ever get a life? ........... None of you answer that question.

Please review my story and if you're nice enough I'll review yours, if you have any ^_^! Ja!
