Chapter Two: The Girl Behind the Assassin

Where we last left off Togona and Inuyasha had a little incident, and now Togona was keeping a close eye on Inuyasha. When Inuyasha landed on top of her, it was the start of a very cold stare. Inuyasha smirked at the fact that he made her quiet... that was the whole plan.

He still couldn't take the fact that he didn't know Kagome's enemy. But something told Inuyasha that Togona wasn't lying. He knew most assassins didn't know who they're employer was, and even worse he knew that most didn't care. Now the silence was getting on his nerves. "Which village do live in?" he asked.
"I don't live in a village; I come through a well in the back of my yard. I live in future," replied Togona coldly, "and you care, why?"
"I was just wondering" answered Inuyasha innocently.

(Inuyasha's POV)

Wow, she comes from the future just like Kagome. But Kagome had the shard of the Shikon Jewel. That means Togona must be very powerful if she can do that. I still can't get over the fact that she killed Kagome. Feh, if I didn't need her to find the shards, I'd slit her throat. But still, something tells me that she feels guilty under that emotionless shell. I can tell that she never really wanted to do this, she has to though.

At least her being with me will save a few lives... I hope. She's staring at the ground; she's got that look on her face. Wait a minute; I've seen that face before. On Sango, she has the 'I want to die' look. I wonder what she's been through. What is this feeling? It's annoying.

(Togona's POV)

He's just staring at me, analyzing me. Huh, he'll never get to see the real me, not under this emotionless face. Come to think of it even I don't know the real me. It's been so long since I was myself. As the boss says, never get emotionally involved. Emotions are for the weak. Love is for the weak and so compassion. Never trust anyone, because trust leads to deception and betrayal. Oh who am I kidding, these aren't words I believe in. I can barely live by them.

I want to quit, but I can't. I have to be strong... for just once I'd love to be happy. For just once I want to be loved, but there is no one to love and there is no one to love *me* what is it with this hanyou? Why is he trying so hard? Maybe I should be nice to him. No, I can't, I can't go soft. I won't. I'll never love again, not since that day...

(Normal POV)

Inuyasha just sat there staring at her. Finally he couldn't take he had to speak. "What are you? You're not a hanyou, are you?" asked Inuyasha cautiously.

"Nani? Oh, if you must know, no I'm not a hanyou and I have many different forms. Six if you want to be exact. Matte, they're human, elf, warrior, angel, vampire, and beast which is a fawn. And anyone who is smart could tell that I'm telepathic by that last remark, but since you're not one of those people, I'm telepathic" explained Togona.

Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Togona. "Don't say anything I know what you're going to say" she said. Togona looked at Inuyasha with the deepest desire to reveal all the secrets that have haunted her life. It was there for a moment then was gone and replaced by the same emotionless face that she always wore. She still couldn't trust anyone, not yet at least.

"Are you hungry?" asked Inuyasha. "A little" "Would you like me to go get you something?" "No let me conjure something up"

Inuyasha looked at Togona questioningly. She waved her hand and a pile fruit appeared. She grabbed an apple and bit into it. Togona grabbed an apple and threw it to Inuyasha who caught it with one hand. He also bit into it. They sat there in silence once again. Togona fell into deep thought again, with Inuyasha watching her closely. Inuyasha was extremely confused with this fascination he had with Togona. He would be in a trance staring at her, he would slap himself out of it, then he fall into the trance again.

Hours later Togona fell asleep. Inuyasha lie awake thinking of the days events, Kagome had been killed and here he was sitting with her murder as if they were good friends. Somehow he wouldn't let himself believe that Togona was fully responsible for Kagome's death. Something told Inuyasha that deep inside Togona there was something but he couldn't put his finger on it...

Togona lie on the ground, and suddenly tears flowed down her cheek. She was still asleep but she was crying. Inuyasha leaned over and brushed her tears away with his thumb.

The next day when Togona woke up she had gotten an idea. She approached Inuyasha who was sitting waiting for her to wake up with his turned to her so she wake up and start yelling at him for staring at her. "Inuyasha?"
"yes?" answered Inuyasha.
"I want to give this to you," said Togona as she handed a book with a pen, "you do know how to read and write, right"
Inuyasha nodded. It was true, his mother had taught hi when he was little. "when you get mad or tired of me you can write about it. I have one," said togona showing Inuyasha her book, "of course mine is a Book of Shadows. You see, a Book of Shadows is a witch's diary. We write our days events and our spells. I am Wiccan, a type of witchcraft. So I want you to start writing in your diary or journal, what ever you want to call it" explained Togona. Inuyasha nodded and said "arigato."

~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*

Togona: alright just like in the book sweep, If any of you are reading that series you would know that it starts out with an entry of a book of shadows that the character has in the story. That is how I'm going to begin my stories and see how it goes. Vote whether or not Togona should give in to Inuyasha and have feelings for him. Review.
