Chapter 9: The Change Begins

Four years later on a sunny summer morning. Lillian was the first to wake up. She had sleep with Yoko that night cause of a nightmare she had once agin. She had been having them for the last two years. They scared her but she was getting more and more use to them. But last night it was a dream of her brother, he was dieing, she hated all of her dreams, especially the dreams of her traitor brother, Hiei. She got up and changed into her normal clothes. A pair of tattered shorts, a black tank top, a long chain hanging from her shoulder to her waist, a pair of pierced dangle earrings, Kuronues old hat and his pendant. Yoko had given it to her knowing that she liked his hat and pendant. She sat down against the den wall crossing her legs and eyes closed thinking of the dream she had. Today Lillian was old enoulf to go on her first theft with Yoko. It was July 19 her 11th birthday. She tilted the hat over her eyes blocking out the light from the entrance of the den. Yoko then woke up as the light hit him. He slowly woke up and to see Lillian was not with him looked around quickly at see her looking at him and eyebrow raised. He sighed in relief to see her. "Yoko I'm not a child any more I'm 11 now you don't have to worry about me." Lillian said smiling to him. "I don't care how old you are you are still my daughter." Yoko said smiling back. "But I do see that you are the first one to wake and even have to wait for me." Yoko said standing up. "Lets go find some thing to eat shall we?" Lillian said standing up to her height almost the same as Yokos (which is 7 ft). Yoko nodded and they walked out of the den in to the bright sunshine.

After Lillian and Yoko ate they set out on there theft. "Lillian do you remember every thing I taught you?" Yoko asked as they ran. "Yes." Lillian said with a nod. "Now tell me about the person we are stealing from." Lillian said turning her head slightly to look at Yoko. "He is Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western lands. Not really a man I want to bother." Yoko said but being cut off by Lillian. "Then why are we starling from him?" Lillian asked. "Because he has something Kuronue has wanted all his life and would still want it in death." Yoko said with a smirk. "That suborn ba, he would still want it? It must be really valuable" Lillian said with a smirk spreading over her face. "You couldn't be more right. But I believe that you would want revenge Kuronues death some what." Yoko said sprinting over a fallen log. Lillian nodes and they speeded up. "Yoko what kind of demon is he?" Lillian asked. "A dog demon." Yoko said looking over to her. Lillian stopped in a heartbeat her eyes wide. Yoko stopped and went over to her. "Lillian what wrong?" Yoko panted. "I can't… I can't go." Lillian said her voice trembling. "Why?" Yoko said putting his hand on her shoulder. "Yoko my greatest fear is dog demons… especially one by the name of Sesshoumaru." Lillian said closing her eyes as an image of a tall dog demon with long silver hair, a cruel smirk and what scared her the most his dark, cold, amber eyes. "Lillian he is of the western lands." Yoko said hugging her. "You don't understand, Yoko, He is one of the ones who caused me a punishment. I was thrown against a wall cracking my head open for speaking back. He called me a human. But I was about to tell him that I wasn't but no matter who they wouldn't let me tell any one!" Lillian said closing her eyes tightly. "Well then there's another reason to go! For revenge on him!" Yoko said looking into her eyes his hands on her shoulders. Lillian nodded and so well know smirk came over her evilly shown face the flames in her eyes. "Now that's the Lillian I know!" Yoko said smirking back. "Well lest get back on track. From now on I refuse to be afraid of any one!" Lillian said sprinting off with Yoko. "Fear is a thing you need, with out fear you wont get stronger." Yoko said looking at her in concern. "I don't care with out fear I will be able to do things I would never!" Lillian said clinching her fist her claws digging in to her hands making drops of blood fall from them. Yoko sighed and thought, "She is still young she thinks power and knowledge is every thing. Just like I once did."

Lillian and Yoko stood outside of the gates to Sesshoumaru's castle. "Lillian I want you to stay close. You take down any guards wile I try to take down the any locks or spells protecting the Black Rose." Yoko said looking at Lillian. "Ok…" Lillian said. "Lillian we only have a short time so in and out." Yoko said. "Lillian nodded and fallowed him over the gates.

Inside the castle Lillian quickly killed off the guards without a sound. Yoko smiled seeing every thing he taught her coming to use. They made it to a vault there Sesshoumaru was waiting. Lillian and Yoko looked at him in surprise that. "Did you people really think you could get to my grate vault and I not know about it?" Sesshoumaru said coolly. Lillian stood up straight lifting the hat from her eyes. Yoko smirked and took a rose from his hair and then changed it to his well-known rose whip. Lillian griped the scythe at her side. Sesshoumaru keep his eyes on Lillian and thought to him self 'I know this girl." Lillian's eyes lit up with fire seeing that Sesshoumaru staring at her. "Yoko, let this fight be between me and him." Lillian said as hers and Sesshoumaru's eyes met. "What? But-" Yoko started. "Yoko this is for my sake you said your self that some battles are meant to be." Lillian said a smile crossing her face. "Well this one is mine!" Lillian said with confidence. Yoko nodded and turned her rose whip back into the red rose it was before. "A girl like you actually think you can beat me?" Sesshoumaru asked a bit of a chuckle to his voice. "Hn if you weren't so cocky, then I would think I have less of a chance of beating you." Lillian said chuckling herself. Yoko began to think to him self "Wow this is weird. Lillian never does this to an enemy, I wonder what's the difference about him." "Well from the sound of it you are just a girl that needs to be put in her rightful place!" Sesshoumaru said taking out a sword. Lillian got in to her fighting pose. Yoko knew this one well she was going to change into her yokai dog form so it will be a one on one fight. Lillian learned from Kuronue if possible to test someone's strength try to be one on one with them. Lillian charged at Sesshoumaru changing into her yokai dog form in the run. She chose yukai whip on of her favorite things. Sesshoumaru was able to move out of the way quickly. Yoko ran over to the vault door as Lillian and Sesshoumaru fought. Sesshoumaru was still trying to remember whom this girl was before he even tried to harm her. Lillian stayed with yukai Sesshoumaru was able to doge every blow Lillian went for him with. Them it hit him this girl was the little brat from 8 years ago! She wasn't a human she was a demon. They had lied to him about her; he actually had pity on her back then. But why was she after him now? "Why are you doing this?" Sesshoumaru asked. Lillian stopped shocked at his question. "Why do you wish to kill me? Even after 8 years." He asked agin. Lillian panted tired from the battle that did nothing to him. "Because you almost got me killed! I wanted out of the hellhole for so long! I was only a baby! You name still makes me sick!" Lillian yelled. "From then you have really grown up haven't you?" Sesshoumaru asked coolly. "What? What are you talking about!?" Lillian yelled agin. "I saw you many times before then serving them. Even their ways are ones I would never go through with. You have a strong will to live, stronger than most. Even I would have not of been that strong I must admit." Sesshoumaru said a small smile come to his face. "You what?" Lillian said astonish. "You were the girl at the northern dog demons land, the girl that cried every night because you thought all you had was your brother." Sesshoumaru said. Lillian began to get angry. "How do you know these things!?" Lillian yelled. "Because I was there I thought you were a human, I dislike them, but I though nothing of it what they said went. But that young man Sakno, I believe his name was, was able to get you out of the place. Now you must hate all dog demons I can understand that. But what I do not understand is that why is your brother not with you?" He quested agin. "He left me four years ago, I don't care about him any more! That traitor deserves to die if it comes to him!" Lillian said her anger reaching its point. "Oh well I don't believe that you care nothing of him, not unless all of your youth has disappeared from you. You were once a child that cared for all even if they hurt you. Now you hate every thing. That has only changed in 8 years?" Sesshoumaru counted. "No actually you can thank Hiei for levering me four years ago." Lillian said trying to forget the rush of memories coming to her head. "It hurts you doesn't it? Remembering every thing of your past all at once." Sesshoumaru said taking a step towards her. Yoko watched them knowing that she wouldn't be able to go on if he keep talking to her like that, her memories were to much for her. "I can tell that with every one of my words that you weaken in the mind lose you self. Lillian I know who you are Sakno was sent to you on my order able to say that he was prince of some place that he chose just to get you here. But he stopped that." Sesshoumaru said looking at Yoko then taking another step to Lillian. "You know my name… Sakno… he… no you lying!" Lillian screamed. The one that she loved lied to her. "Lillian don't lessen to him! It's a trap!" Yoko yelled. "Yoko stay out of this!" Lillian yelled back. Yoko looked at her in shock. "I know what today is and that is it very special to you. To be able to stand at you adopted fathers side in battle." Sesshoumaru said taking another step to her. "You are confusing her thoughts and you know it!" it!" Yoko yelled. Lillian didn't respond. "Lillian isn't to day your birthday? Aren't you 11 today?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Yes but how do you know?" Lillian said looking straight into his eyes. Sesshoumaru stood at least 4 yards away from her. "Sakno told me and of who your were. I had him set out to find you and stay with you as long as he could." Sesshoumaru answered. A few tears rolled down her cheeks. "I loved him… he was there when I needed him the most." Lillian said a smile coming to her face as her thoughts rested on Yoko and Sakno. "Yes but when he saved you I was the one that set him out to do that." Sesshoumaru said taking another step to her. Yoko watched seeing that Sesshoumaru liked her as a child. And might have been stalking her. Lillian's thoughts began to swirl agin tears flowing down her cheeks. She then passed out and when she did Sesshoumaru was that one to catch her. Yoko growled at him. "I have no intentions on harming her. I only want what is best for her." Sesshoumaru said looking down at her. Yoko took Lillian from his arms. "You have harmed her enoulf, she has no right to hate you now you have proven that." Yoko said lifting her up. But instead of her letting go of Sesshoumaru she grabbed his hand holding on to him. "It seems she had decided for herself." Sesshoumaru said holding her hand as well. "Yoko I want to… find where I really belong… I want to remember my past…" Lillian said wakening up. Yoko smiled at her and put her back in Sesshoumaru's arms. "If you harm her I will kill you." Yoko threatened. "I shall take your warning well." Sesshoumaru said taking her. "I will come back tomorrow if she does not want to leave then I will let her stay with you." Yoko said walking away. Sesshoumaru nodes lifting her up and caring her to a room after he watched Yoko walk away.
