Chapter 4
Young Love
It's a gorgeous night. The sky is so clear that you can see every star. Where am I? I mean the stars at home never show them selves. Huh? I smell smoke. Natsumi thought. She walked a little closer to the cliff's edge and looked over the side to see a camp-fire. Yum. Smells like fish.
"Jaken."
"Yes my lord." Was said as a small toad looking creature who came from the bushes. He held a staff with an old man carved on one side and a woman with black hair on the other. He rushed over to a tall man with a long fluffy tail looking thing over his shoulder. He had strips on his cheeks and a blue crescent moon on his forehead.
Umm. I don't think he's human. Come to think of it, who cares? He's HOT. I think I'm in love. Natsumi thought. But she was so caught up in her daydream that she lost her balance.
"My lord I think it might rain tonight. We should find shelter." Jaken said as his lord lifted his arms out as if he was to catch the drops of rain. But what he caught wasn't rain or a sprinkle. Before either of them knew it Natsumi fell strait into his arms, much to his surprise. He looked at her with a look you would give a ghost. And Jaken seemed to have just signed his death wish.
"Ri-Rin?" the lord said shakily.
"But-but how. I saw it. That demon. He-he took you away. I-I saw him. He said he would take you in stead of me." Jaken said not realizing that he said too much.
"What? You told me he that you tried to save her not sell her to save your own pathetic life." The lord said. "You shall die for your trickery and shallowness."
"NO-NO. Lord Sesshoumaru. Please don't." Jaken pleaded.
What's going on? Who's this Rin girl? Oh no. Maybe she is with him. Maybe he is already taken. Shouldn't be surprising. All the hot guys are taken. "Umm. Sorry to interrupt you, but I'm not this Rin person you keep talking about. My name is Natsumi. The girl said. "Please can you put me down?"
Without a word she was put down. "What are you staring at?" She asked.
"What do you mean? And what do you mean your not Rin?" Jaken said.
"I mean I'm not her. I'm not this Rin person. My name is Natsumi. NAT-SU- MI!" She said raising her voice. "How many times do I have to say it. I am me, not her. I am a separate person from this Rin girl. Two diff-er- ent people meaning two diff-er-ent identities meaning two diff-er-ent names. GOT IT!"
"You have to be Rin. Your outer appearance matches exactly. So don't give me this crap." Jaken yelled.
"I told you I'm not her," She shouted. "For the last time, my name is Natsumi. Say it with me. Nat-su-mi."
"Jaken that's enough. She isn't Rin." Sesshoumaru said with a menacing tone.
"Yes my lord, but how could you..." Jaken started.
"Her sent or have you forgotten my Inu blood?" Sesshoumaru said as he turned and started walking away. "We're leaving."
"Oh-um wait for me my lord." Jaken stammered as he ran to catch up to Sesshoumaru's side.
As Natsumi watched her fantasy walk away she thought. Hey where is he going? I KNEW IT, HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND! Well I'll give her a piece of my mind. All I need is some wood. Oh and some rope and ... Yah, that should do it. [View of a woman tied to a stick rotating over a blazing fire with an apple in her mouth.] I'll follow and play the innocent, lost child act on the wife then strike when she has her back turned. Then he will have no excuse. He'll have to be my boyfriend and then eventually my husband and then a bundle of joy. It'll be a big wedding of course. Flowers and big bows. Of course, I'll be beautiful in my white dress. That's it! Now I'm definitely going after him. As she completed her thoughts, she started slowly and cautiously, following her dream boy. For an hour they walked and she would run from bush to shrub, shrub to bush, trying not to be seen. After another half an hour Sesshoumaru stopped in his tracks.
"We'll make camp here," he said in a voice that would send a shiver down your spine.
"Yes my lord," Jaken added, as Sesshoumaru sat down. Soon a fire burned brightly into the night sky. From behind a tree Natsumi stared and watched not even blinking.
"Do you intend to stand there all night?" Sesshoumaru asked out of no where.
Huh? How did he know? She thought as she ducked behind the nearest tree her back pressed against the bark.
"I know you are there. I can smell your sent. So if you insist on staying, there is no sense in freezing your self to death. The air in these woods turn to ice and will surely claim any human life that it touches. You decide," he said with a warning.
Reluctantly Natsumi wandered from her hiding spot and slowly made her way to the fire. She sat down with out a word reaching out to warm her cold hands. After she was warm she settled her self down between the sleeping Jaken and the alert Sesshoumaru.
"Ummm. Earlier you said you could smell my sent, am I correct?" Natsumi queried.
"Yes." He said bluntly.
"Umm. How is that possible? I mean I never heard of any one that has such a strong sense of smell. It's amazing. I mean it's not human." She said quietly as if speaking to herself.
"That would be because I'm NOT human," he said.
"Oh. I see. SAY WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT HUMAN? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THEN?!" She yelled surprised.
"I'm a demon. An Inu to be precise." He answered.
"An Inu? What are you trying to pull?"
"Don't tell me you don't know what a demon is." Jaken cut in.
"Yes I know what they are. I don't know what planet your on, but they don't exist in mine."
"What do you mean don't exist. They have always existed." Jaken said confused.
"Even if you are a demon you still look human." Natsumi commented. Sesshoumaru flinched at this and turned to her.
"I despise all humans," he said quietly.
"Why? What's wrong with us?" Natsumi asked a little offended.
"Humans are weak but still believe they are superior. They are slow and do not deserve to walk the planet. They are worthless and despicable." He said coldly, eyes shaded.
"That's a ridiculous analyses. First of all every one has a right to live and grow. Second, you can't make the assumption that all humans are worthless. You haven't met all humans now have you? Don't make an assumption, which you can not support. Where I come from that would be classified as discrimination." Natsumi lectured one finger raised as if to a child.
"All human's are alike." He stated boldly.
"Even Rin? Was she worthless, despicable? Did she believe that she was the superior one? Are you telling me that she doesn't deserve to walk by your side on this earth?" She asked as he froze. His eyes glazed over and his pride vanished. "I didn't think so. Even though you say she has past on her spirit, I'm sure, still walks by your side like she herself once did. She was human. A true human by your expression."
"Go to sleep," he said and turned around.
"Alright." And she crawled over to him.
"What are you doing?" He asked surprised at the child crawling up into his lap.
"I'm cold." She declared as she grabbed the fur 'thing' next to her and raped it around her. "Is this real fur? It's very soft and fluffy."
"It's my tail."
"Really. Well if you're an Inu I guess that would make sense. In that case I'll call you...." What sound asleep already? She thought with a giggle. He's pretty cute when he's sleeping, so innocent and warm. "Good night Fluffy." She fell asleep with out another thought.
That Morning
"Nat-su-mi"
"Five more minutes mommy." Natsumi said with a yawn.
"Nat-su-mi"
What is it? What time is it? What happened? Where am I? Natsumi thought as she slit her eyes. Wow it's bright. Who's that? Natsumi tried to focus on the figure that stood above her. Is it you Fluffy, my love? She finally was able to focus. "WHAT THE HELL. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" She screamed now fully awake and forced Yasuo to retreat.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT AM I DOING HERE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I WAS UP ALL NIGHT LOOKING FOR YOU, I HOPE YOU KNOW." Yasuo retorted.
"You don't just stand over someone like that. Especially when they aren't fully awake. Your not the kind of thing a person want's to wake up to." Natsumi is now on her feet and she started looking around. "Huh where is he?"
"Who?" Kane said walking up to stand by her brother.
"Fluffy or Lord Sesshoumaru. That toad thing is gone too."
"I think your mind is playing tricks on you." Yasuo said with a smirk.
"I'm not making this up. He's my soul mate." Natsumi said desperately.
"Soul Mate? You're a bit to young for a soul mate." Kane said mocking the 10-year-old.
"Am not!"
"What-ever. We should head back to the village. Everyone is out looking for you. All the villagers and even Keada." Kane said changing the subject.
"I'm not going. I'm sure he'll come back for me. Just wait." Natsumi declared.
"Your delusional." Yasuo said as he picked her up and swung her over his shoulder.
"H-Hey! Put me down. NOW!" Natsumi screamed feet kicking and arms squirming.
"Shut-up. I don't care if I have to carry you the whole way. You're coming ether way. There are a lot of people looking for you and Kane and I have been searching all night. So Shut-up and cooperate." Yasuo said closing the conversation. Natsumi stopped squirming knowing her effort was fruitless. Now collapsed she hung over his shoulder like a rag-doll. "Stop pouting. It's getting on my nerves."
"Oh, should I be thankful that you took me away from my one true love? I think that's reason enough to pout." Natsumi mumbled.
"Please you don't even know what 'love' is." Yasuo replied.
"Stop the arguing. It doesn't help you or the blasted headache I have. So just Shut- Up!' Kane said. "Hey Natsumi. How did you manage to get so far from the village?"
"I don't know. I guess I was so intent on following Fluffy that I wasn't paying attention. Why? How far did I go?" Natsumi asked.
"About 5 miles." Kane answered.
"Hehehehe. Then I'm glad I don't have to walk." Natsumi giggled.
"Guess again." Yasuo replied as he dropped her to the ground.
"OwWwWw. Hey what was that for?"
"We have a good mile left and my arms are tired." Yasuo replied.
"Fine." Natsumi said.
"Good. Silence." Yasuo said.
"This is the song that never ends. And it goes on and on my friends...." Natsumi mumbled and started to get louder.
"Shut-Up!" both Kane and Yasuo screamed.
"Some people started singing it not knowing what it was...."
"SHUT-UP!"
After an hour went by the village started coming into view. "Yay, we're here!" Natsumi yelled running ahead. [View of both Kane and Yasuo, behind her, dragging themselves along.]
"The horror. Is it over? Has the brat finally shut-up?" Yasuo said weakly.
"Yah, I think it's over." Kane said reassuringly as a group of villagers ran to their side. "We're all alright. Every thing is okay. You may call off the search groups and go home." She yelled trying to quiet down the crowd. Finally the crowd disappeared.
"Wow. I had know idea there were that many people looking for me," Natsumi said later on.
"Aye, many of are villagers were out all day. Now child, please explain this man fluffy to us once more." Keada said.
"He was HOT, STRONG, AND a little shy I must admit, but did I mention he was HOT!" Natsumi explained.
"Yes you did, about a thousand times. We need a little more information about him than just your fantasies so we can determine if he is a threat or one of our allies. Any thing: looks, voice, nationality, or even a name." Yasuo said.
"I think that toad thing called him Lord Sesomaru, or something like that." She said and everyone froze. "Was it something I said?"
"Was this man a demon or a human?" Miroku asked.
"What a stupid Question. Of-course he was human. Demons don't exist." Kane piped in.
"What do you mean don't exist. Inuyasha is half demon. And you yourself have demon blood." Sango mentioned.
"He looked human, but he told me he was a demon. He said he despised all humans but I don't think that's true. Oh-yah, he said he was an Inu." Natsumi remembered.
"Sesshomaru!" Everyone said in unison.
"Yah that was it, but I prefer Fluffy," Natsumi smiled.
"You should stay away from him. He isn't the kind of man you can make friends with. He is violent and vicious. He will surly kill you if he sees you again." Miroku advised.
"Your wrong! If you get to know him you'll find that he isn't all that bad. HE'S NOT EVIL! HE'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD!" Natsumi yelled and ran from the room.
"What are we going to do about that?" Sango said.
"Leave her alone for a while. She will get over him in time." Miroku reasoned.
Where are you Fluffy? Why did you leave me? Why? WHY? I love you. I know I do. Natsumi thought trying to make sense of her self while running to where she saw him first, but much to her dismay he wasn't there.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, do you think it wise to leave that child alone?" Jaken said. [View of Jaken and Sesshoumaru in a cave.]
"She is not our concern." Sesshoumaru said.
"Yes, but..."
"As for you, Jaken, we have some disagreements to settle. What really happened to Rin? Thanks to that girl I now know of your lie." Sesshoumaru said and pulled out his sword pointing it towards Jaken. "The truth this time or I shall see how this sword takes to my anger."
"Ayeeee. No my lord. Please don't." Jaken pleaded.
"Then tell me what really happened." Sesshoumaru said raising his voice.
"Okaayy! As you already know, you went to Totosai's apprentice to forge you a sword out of the fang from the beast who broke Tetsusaiga. You left me to watch Rin for humans can not travel into the marsh. Unknown to us a demon was watching and when time suited him attacked." Jaken explained.
"Who was this demon?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"A incarnation of Naraku. It had have been because it had the same spider burnt on his back. He was looking for you and threatened us. He came down and swooped up poor Rin by the hair. He said he would leave me to replay a message to you and he retreated saying that your day would come as well. I knew you would not take these words well so I-I-I l-lied. I'm so sorry my lord. I should have told the truth." Jaken pleaded and Sesshoumaru turned and walked away leaving Jaken to beg at the wind.
