Chapter 2

{A month or so after the arrival of Jade to feudal Japan}

Inu Yasha slept. He dreamed about Kagome & Kikyo. He had no idea what he was going to do. His dream had turned into a nightmare. It wasn't the first time he had had this dream & he expected that it wasn't the last but it always turned out the same way. He would find himself watching the scenes of Kagome being beaten into the state she was in now & Kikyo burning alive along side Kagome. This time, he'd woken up in a cold sweat panting. The morning air smelled fresh with dew and he heard maybe a bird or two just beginning to awaken. The sun wasn't up yet but it was still somewhat light. Sleeping silently beside him was Kagome; she was really warm so he feel asleep easily cuddled up along side her. She didn't slip unconscious anymore but she was still badly bruised & her healing wounds were covered with cloth band-aids. She had had her head on his chest when she had fallen asleep but now it was lying on the upper portion of his arm. Across the room he heard Miroku tossing in his sleep & from the position he was in, he could see his hand moving like he was grabbing one of the girl's butts. Feh, he's such a hentai. Near the back wall of the little hut was Sango curled up between Shippo & Kirara, boomerang bone next to them but lying on the floor. He turned back on his side, curled up next to the girl, and fell asleep silently.

{In another part of Feudal Japan}

Sessho-maru lay next to Jade in his goose-down bed, head lay on a feather pillow, covered by a snow rabbit fur blanket. He hadn't slept very well that night. He laid awake thinking of the days when Yuki was alive. Of course he loved Jadellin, he had taken a liking to her when he first laid eyes on her, but something was bothering him. She was more kind hearted than Yuki was & she also didn't know about her demon blood. That was visible by the way she asked questions when he had asked her if her parents had demon blood. He had told her a little about Yuki & himself & she told him about herself.

He had maidens & villagers on the land that was his & because of this & the fact that none of them were tortured, Jade could tell that under the cold hearted killer, there was a caring tender hearted demon. She rolled on her side & knowing that Sessho-maru was awake & as well that he didn't know she was, poked him in the side with her finger. Hmm? He looked down at the girl & after determining whether or not she had awoken, he saw the half smile/smirk on her face.

She was trying her best not to laugh & keep her eyes closed to make it look like she was still sleeping. It didn't work. I'm sorry if I woke you up he said looking at the half laughing half pretending to be asleep girl lying next to him. You know you didn't. She said sleepily, eyes still closed but the smirk now gone from her face. She moved closer to him to lay her head on his bare chest. She put one arm across his stomach & head under his chin. He put an arm over her waist and pulled her closer. You're really rather immature you know? He said to the girl who poked him again. So what's your point? She asked sarcastically. Nothing he said gently poking her in the side making sure not to hurt her.

Ouch. She said putting on her best puppy-doggish like face. Yes I'm a dog are you making fun of me now? He asked playfully. No of course not. Why would I of all people do that? She asked pouting. I was kidding. He said rolling her onto her back & peering down at her while lying on his side cheek resting on his hand. She smiled at him & he leaned down to kiss her. He pulled her closer to him, lips parting to allow his tongue entrance into her mouth. His hand slowly moved down her shoulder, down her side and onto her hip. She giggled a little and returned his kiss whole heartedly. He rested his elbows, one on each side of her and was now looming over her.

You're beautiful you know that? He said smiling at her. Yeah I know. Don't hate me because of it. She replied grinning. Believe me I don't. He said coming in for another kiss. This time she moved over just before he got to her lips so he pretty much kissed the pillow. Oh I love you my darling pillow. He said jokingly burying his head down in it. Oh that is so disturbing. She said shoving him over lightly.

She stuck her tongue out at him and he leaned over quickly to bite it. Haha you missed. She said. She was now laying on her side again looking at him and he was doing the same to her. He pulled her close, kissed her forehead, and said it's almost sun-rise. If you'd like, you can go to the hot springs down the hill and bathe. Rin will provide the towel, soap and anything else you shall need. Kako will be serving breakfast anytime now so you can eat if you wish and I also understand that she has made you a new kimono that will be much to your liking. I'll be down at the springs and then I must go take care of a few............matters. But I should be back before sundown. You may going the village but do not leave my territory. I wouldn't want to lose you. He said burying his face in her soft black hair. She giggled as he massaged one of her breasts and kissed her neck. Ok fine I wont run off with a stronger, more powerful demon and leave you all by yourself. She said joking around. A deep growl came up from inside of his throat. I was only kidding sheez.

A few minutes later they were in the kitchen where Kako was serving and making their breakfast. Lord Sessho-maru... how long is lady Jadellin staying with us? Rin asked jealousy present in her voice. As long as she wishes. Sessho-maru replied. Jade finished, asked Kako for a towel, soap, shampoo ect. And went to bathe.

Ok that's it for this Chapter. Inu Yasha & Kagome & everybody else will come in sooner or later. I just started working on this story so chapter 3 isn't quite ready but it will be soon. Please leave a review. I'm out!!! - Jade
