Chapter 8: A Home for Calida Gin?
AN: italics personal thoughts

I saw him out by a garden. His face looked pensive as if something was deeply bothering him. I left him there to think and just looked at his garden. It soothed me somehow. I found what I was looking for, Rose's. Especially black rose's which had been the symbol for vampire covens for eons. No one was blissfully aware of vampires since they had demons to worry about. Vampires took advantage of this and have walked the earth freely. Though only at night since only half breeds like me could walk the earth at day. I'd only gotten pieces of my memory back, just not the important ones. I was lost in my thoughts to even notice Sesshoumaru's coming. I finally realized he was behind me about late at night. I was surprised that he had waited so long. Maybe he had a softer side... and maybe I had a heart.
He'd sensed her when she had come to see him, but she had left him alone and had gone to see the garden. He'd never have thought someone to ever have respect for other's privacy, but obviously she did. He sat there wondering why she was after that fool Inuyasha. He, Inuyasha, who couldn't even control his demon pure blood, it controlled him. He would not waste his time on his brother, his sword was the Toukijin. He had gone to see where she was to get information on Naraku, Kikyou, and his brother. He saw her there sitting directly in the middle of the rose bushes. Her long hair was fanned around her. She looked like a god who had been born in the wrong world, or so that's what Rin had said.
"So what did you want to talk about Sesshoumaru?" I asked. It was very unnerving to have Sesshoumaru standing behind me like an old friend since I possessed none.
"I want to talk about, why you were fighting that priestess Kikyou? Also why do you have the scent of Naraku on you?" He asked calm and composed. This pissed me off. How could some demon with this much power seem so calm?
"Well miracles never seem to cease around here, huh. Why the hell do you want to know? Please don't say it's just out of simple curiosity, because I doubt it is."
"It really doesn't concern you. Why are you after that half-breed Inuyasha? Don't tell me it simple curiosity, because I doubt it is."
"Like hell it does concern me!!" I exploded, "If you're after Inuyasha to kill him I'm sorry I can't allow that. If you're after Naraku and Kikyou to kill them well then be my quest other wise I won't spill any information unless I know the reason behind it."
"You have no right to yell at Lord Sesshoumaru like that you mindless half-breed," yelled that short pint Jaken.
"For your information toad yes I do since I have no ties to him nor is he anyone I respect! Also I do have a mind unlike you is a mindless git that follows the commands and looks up to him like he was a god! So if you have anything else to add please don't hesitate to ask for it will be your last." I was on the verge on squashing that little bug like he deserves.
"Jaken quite. Very well then I do wish to destroy Inuyasha as well as Naraku but as for Kikyou I don't really care. Are you satisfied now?"
I just stood there with my mouth open amazed he hadn't said some wise ass remark like he usually did. I and Jaken were in the same boat on this new development.
"By the way what is your name?"
"Well I can tell you why I was fighting Kikyou and why I have the scent of Naraku, but not about Inuyasha since you wish to kill him and I need him alive. And my name is Calida Gin."
"Very well then, I'll agree to those terms. But out here is not the place to talk about it so we should go inside. Calida..."
"Hmm...what?"
"As of this moment you live here within this house and are under my control."
"Whoa whoa hold on there. Living here I'll somehow accept but to be under your control I'm not so sure." I said shocked by this sudden news.
"I figured by the way you talk act and fight you're an assassin. Well guess what I just hired you to work for me. Besides you have no place to stay and know no one; so I'm the closet thing you have to ally or familiar face."
"Okay." I whispered. I was shocked beyond belief this cold hearted being had just offered me a home when so far no one seemed to accept me. He was right he was the closet thing I had to an ally let alone I trusted him for some odd reason.
"Good now come on let's go inside Calida."
Perhaps I just found a home, just perhaps.
