Kira's Commitment

The sound of paws roamed through the forest as Akita took Kira to a lake to be washed up. She was full of blood, lots of blood. It smelled, it was suck in her used to be beautiful hair. But, the best part was that her cuts and her wounds were gone.

As Akita stopped, Kira jumped of her back on silently walked towards the lake beside her. When she got to the rim of the water, she easily took off her bloody clothes and walked into the cool, clean, fresh water. She sighed as she just stood there, still. She wrapped her arms around her and looked up into the dawn sky.

"Was it true? Was I really a child? Naraku…he tricked me, betrayed me!"

She closed her eyes as she went down into the water and moved her body a little so the dry blood would disintegrate off of her skin. She ran her hands up and down her skin until she felt the blood come off. Akita on the other hand lay down as she slept for a while. So many things ran into Kira's mind. The past of Naraku mostly, but then, the person who revived her, was running in her mind. Why?

"The person who revived me…I need to thank him, but how. Reviving the soul, the spirit, the body is a big price. I have nowhere else to go. If he will cooperate, maybe I can give myself to him. Be a servant…"

That's is what she will do. She will commit herself to be a slave, a servant of a person she didn't even know. Hell, she didn't even know herself, or Naraku. She would take her chance, no matter what. Is it a wise decision? No… but this is all she can do, if she doesn't have a place to live, or food, she will die, and she does not want death to come upon her again.

As she was through of washing up, she walked out of the water and took her clothes into the water. She wanted her clothes to be clean as well. She dipped them in the water and scrubbed with her hand, the blood so it would come off. She did this a couple of times until the crimson red blood was off. She then laid them onto the dry grass and waited till they would dry.

"Akita." She called to her pet.

Akita's ear perked up as she stood up and helped her master up on top of a tree so she wouldn't have to be seen of her nakedness to anyone. She leaned against the trunk and closed her eyes and prayed silently. Akita sat in front of her as she watched her master until she would wake up again.

As it was now night, Kira awoke. She jumped off of the tree and went to see if her clothes were dried yet…

"Yes."

She got dressed as she stood and tilted her head to see the moon.

This isn't a good plan, but it is either this, or death. And she will not go back to Naraku of course because he will try to kill her, not just that, but he wants the jewel shard…not her, anymore. And Inuyasha, she remembered him well. If she goes there for some help, then he will try to kill her because she did try to kill him, of course. A village would be nice, but half-demons are mostly not welcome since they are rare, and of course villagers hate demons. She cannot live on her own, she does not know how. This is the only way…

"But how will I find him?"

She then remembered. Akita. She can smell a scent a mile away. Akita did try to kill him, so she does know partial of his scent. Kira looked at Akita, and the smart wolf already read her mind. Kira smiled and she hopped on Akita's back as she tilted her head a little and sniffed the air. She knew he wasn't far. Akita opened her eyes and her head straight. She caught his scent, just like that. Kira was impressed.

"Run like the wind, girl," Kira whispered to Akita.

Akita dashed straight as she kept onto the scent. She curved sometimes, and turned left or right until they were almost there. Akita slowed down as she then walked slowly with her nose on the ground.

"Found him yet, Akita?"

With the question still on Akita, the wolf lifted her head slowly as she stared straight into the demon that was in front of them. Kira lifted her head as she saw the man that had revived her. Looking straight at her as well with stern. Just a serious face, that was on Sesshomaru. Kira gasped lightly and with wide eyes. She calmed down, as she got off Akita.

"You…you are the one, who revived me, correct?"

"I am."

Kira looked at the ground, as she did not know what to say.

"What do you want?" She jerked her head up because of his voice.

She thought a moment until she could find the words, "I…I wanted to thank you…for bringing me back."

Sesshomaru, with no expression, turned and decided to leave. "This is pointless…"

"Wait!" Kira yelled as she held out a hand and put it aside, "I don't think you understand fully. My thank you is not good enough for what you have done. Please…I offer you everything I have," She then lowered her head.

Sesshomaru turned and faced her, "I did not do it because I wanted to. Can't you see of my appearance? I am a demon."

She widened her eyes as she heard his last words. "A demon? I would be giving myself to a demon. I have done that before; it wouldn't be like something I haven't done, anyway. I know how they live…partially."

"So then, you are demon. It doesn't matter. I still wish to give you my gratitude. Even though you didn't want to and that you are a demon. I have handled one before."

"I would kill her right now if I could, but if I do, the Tenseiga will annoy me again. Let me just see what she has to give, and be on my way…"

"Naraku."

Kira looked up at him, "Wha…What did you just say?"

"You have the stench of Naraku, that is the fool you were with."

"How do you know?!" Kira gritted her teeth with the sound of his name.

"I am a demon, but a dog demon, I can smell the scent on you."

She relaxed and stood straight. Sesshomaru just waited for her to reply, but she wouldn't.

"What do you have to give?"

She looked up, and with sadden eyes she replied, "I offer myself"

Sesshomaru looked at her, as his eyes grew a little wider, but not much to see. "I will not be responsible for this girl!"

"That is all I have, just me…"

He relaxed, and then turned his back on her, "No."

Her face was with confusion, "But please, I have no where else to go. I will be a servant, a slave, whatever you want, I will do for you. I will not get in the way, I know how to protect myself. I just do not know how to live by myself. Please, I beg of you!"

She got in front of him and bowed. Her whole body went to the ground. Sesshomaru looked at her. He blinked and thought silently.

"Get up." She did as what she was told.

Sesshomaru grabbed her neck and pulled her closer until their eyes weren't far apart. Kira winced but took it.

"You are committing yourself to a demon, girl. Do you even know what you are doing?"

"I do."

He let her go, and set her down back on her feet.

"Then so be it…" "She will be a servant, and that it all."

As Sesshomaru walked past her, Kira followed as well as Akita did. Kira sighed, as she did not know if this was the right thing or not, but this is commitment that she will can never break.

"Lord Sesshomaru!!!" Rin's voice could be heard when she saw her master upon the horizon. As he got closer to she and Jakken they both saw Kira.

"You are back, My Lord, so soon?" Jakken walked up to him.

Sesshomaru nodded once and turned to Kira.

"This is also my servant, Jakken."

"Sesshomaru? That is his name? And Jakken, his little squire. But the little, human girl…?"

"And who might this be?" As Kira smiled at Rin.

Rin ran up to Kira as she held out her hand, "Nice to meet you, my name is Rin!" She blushed, "And yours?"

"Kira." Sesshomaru looked over to Kira as she said her name. "The girl will be with us for a while, she might can take care of Rin as much as Jakken will."

"Lets go Rin!" Jakken shouted at the girl.

Rin turned her head toward Jakken, "Coming!" She skipped along, as it was just Sesshomaru and Kira.

"Lord Sesshomaru, wasn't it?" Sesshomaru opened his yes and nodded.

"So, it is really alright, if I stay?" Sesshomaru nodded again.

"The little girl, Rin, is no servant of mine. She is just follower, nothing else." Sesshomaru spoke.

"I understand…Thank you." Kira said as she walked along with Akita toward Jakken and Rin were.

"Your Welcome."
