Chapter four

Enter Sesshomaru

"Who are you?" Kaname asked a human-looking demon, whom had silver hair and yellow eyes, and was wearing baggy, white pants, and a sword on his side. "My name is Sesshomaru," the silver-haired demon answered, "And you are?" "I am the priestess, Kaname," Kaname said. "a priestess, you say?" the demon, Sesshomaru said, as he took a step forward to Kaname. "State your buisness here!" Kaname ordered, as she tokk a step back, and bumped into a tree. "I was fighting a hoard of demons, and I led them here to fight," Sesshomaru explained.

"LORD SESSHOMARU!" a toad-like demon yelled. "What?" Sesshomaru asked, as he looked at the demon. "There are too many..." the toad-like demon said, as he stopped in mid-sentence. "Too many what?" Sesshomaru asked, as Kaname picked up her bow and arrow, and tried to shoot Sesshomaru. "Lord Sesshomaru, that girl's going to shoot you!" the toad-like demon, known as Jaken exclaimed, and pointed at Kaname. "What do you think you're doing?" Sesshomaru asked, as he turned around to face Kaname, and pulled her close to his body.

"KANAME! LET HER GO!" Kikyo yelled at Sesshomaru, as she shot her sacred arrow at him. "KIKYO, STOP!" Kaname ordered. "I WANT YOU TO LET ME GO!" she demanded Sesshomaru, as she looked at himin the eyes. "Fine," Sesshomaru said, as he released her wrist, but kept his eyes locked on hers. "I'm gonna...go, now," Kaname stuttered, tearing away from Sesshomaru's gaze. "Let's go," she said to Kikyo. "You're not going to kill him?" Kikyo asked, looking surprised! "No, he wasn't after the Shikon Jewel, he was killing demons," Kaname explained, "Where's Keade?"

"AHH!" Keade screamed, loudly.

"KEADE!" Kikyo and Kaname yelled, as they ran to another part of the forest, which was where Keade was. "I killed the demon..." Keade smiled, before she passed out. "Let's get her back to the village," Kikyo suggested, as she carried Keade to the meadow. "I'll be there in a minute, I gotta do something real quick!" Kaname called, as she ran back into the dark forest.

"Sesshomaru..." Kaname said quietly. "You came back?" Sesshomaru said, as he looked at Kaname with sudden interest. "Yes, I was wondering if I could come see you tomorrow?" Kaname asked, whilst staring at the ground, shyly. "Tomorrow, meet me here, at sunset, come alone," Sesshomaru said, as he stared at the raven-haired girl. "Lord Sesshomaru..." Jaken started to the silver-haired demon. "Who are you?" Kaname asked Jaken, disgustedly. "My name's Jaken," the toad-like demon answered the rude priestess. "Well, I gotta go," Kaname said, as she walked past seshomaru, without saying another word.

"Where have you been?" Kikyo asked, as she comforted Keade. "I had to talk to someone," Kaname said, as she blushed slightly. "Is it that demon you were with?" Kikyo smirked, slyly! "Yes," Kaname said, as she walked into the hut, which was her home, and looked at Keade, whom was ,lying on Kikyo's futon. "What happened to her eye?" she asked. "The demon she was fighting took it out, before she killed it," Kikkyo explained, whilst Keade held a white patch over her empty eye socket.

(The next morning)

"I'll be back later, I'm going to go meet up with Inuyasha at the river," Kikyo said, as she left the hut. "Bye, Kikyo," Keade waved to her sister.

"Hey, Inuyasha," Kikyo siad, as Inuyasha walked up behind her. "Hey, Kikyo!" Inuyasha greeted, as he sat down in a tree that was next to the river bed, where Kikyo was sitting. "Can I have the Sacred Jewel? I'll use it to become a full human," he blurted out to Kikyo. "Alright, I'll bring it to you tomorrow, meet me in the meadow," Kikyo said.

"Well, I should go home now," Kikyo said, as she saw the sun about to set. "I'll see you tomorrow," Inuyasha said, as Kikyo stood up. "Okay," Kikyo said, as she left.

"I'm back!" Kikyo said, as she walked into the hut, it was about 5 minutes til sunset. "What did you and Inuyasha do?" Kaname asked. "We sat by the river and talked," Kikyo said. "Where's Keade?" she asked, quickly changing the subject. "She's asleep, her eye started to hurt," Kaname explained, "I'm leaving at sunset. "Why? Where are you going?" Kikyo asked. "I'm going to meet Sesshomaru," Kaname explained. "WHAT? He's a full-fledged demon, at least Inuyasha's only a half-demon!" KIkyo shouted, outraged. "I WOIN'T GET KILLED! STOP WORRYING SO MUCH!" Kaname exclaimed, "I can take care of myself!" "I just don't want you to get hurt, thst's all, he is a demon," Kikyo said. "Thanks, but I'm sure I can trust Sesshomaru!" Kaname smiled. "Why was their yelling?" Keade asked sleepily, as she walked into the room where Kikyo and Kaname were located. "I think I should get going," ?Kaname said, as she walked to the door. "Be careful," Keade said. "ALRIGHT!" Kaname smiled. "Are you going to take your bow and arrows?" Kikyo asked. "No, I'll be back later," Kaname said, and then she left.

"So, you came!" Sesshomaru, as Kaname walked over to where he was seated. "Yes, I came," Kaname said, as she sat beside Sesshomaru.
