Im Baaack! Oooo a new character. Yay! (Note: Sweetlilbee I sorta changed the character you and I came up with..hehe)

--Lost and Found--

Inuyasha remained where he was too afraid to fall asleep. It was an odd feeling that he had become familiar with in such a short time. The hanyou couldn't remember the last time that he had felt fear and he had wished it stayed that way, forgotten.

'She was so fast, I couldn't even see her' Inuyasha thought as he listened to the heavy breathing of the great beast. 'Could she be a demon?' he hadn't sensed anything that would indicate that she was a demon unless she had jewel shards that perhaps masked it, but even if the stranger had Shikon jewel shards he would of sensed it. She was something else.

Inuyasha looked at the strange woman as she handled the animal that they rode upon. She could feel the heat of his eyes on her back and stopped the beast. Inuyasha froze as she dismounted and turned around.

'Oh shit! How the hell could she know I was watching her?' he thought as he tried to escape mentally.

She elegantly approached him and stared deep into his troubled eyes through her dark hood. She held her arm out and looked at her arm, as did Inuyasha. A strange contraption was attached to her slender white wrist that held an assortment of the needles that had penetrated his neck. She selected one and moved forward to the paralyzed hanyou.

"This wont hurt as much as it did as before" she said as she brushed his white hair aside "this is going to make it so you can talk and move your head"

Her delicate hands pushed the needle deep into his throat. Inuyasha's eyes shot open in pain as she held the needle. The strange woman pulled the thin rod out of his neck and waited.

"Uhh…" Inuyasha groaned as his head began to throb "Wh…at the fuck…was that?" he blinked rapidly and moved his stiff head.

"It was to allow only a mild paralysis. I extracted it from the root of a human faced fruit tree" she replied as she swept his long hair from his face so she could see him better.

Inuyasha flinched at the touch of her. He felt so vulnerable and weak so…human.

"Who the fuck are you?" the hanyou contorted as he stared deep into the darkness of the hooded stranger.

"Hahaha…maybe I shouldn't of enabled you to talk" she laughed "you are so fowl in front of a lady"

"Your not a lady you barbaric wench!" Inuyasha yelled, "now answer my damn question!"

"As you wish" she sighed as she pulled her hood from her face

Inuyasha gasped as he saw her face reflect the light of the moon. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Her skin was flawless and pale, and her raven hair shone with such radiance in the dark night. The hanyou's yellow orbs darted quickly to the ground in embarrassment as she realized what he was doing.

"I am Himiko sorceress of these lands" she replied as she continued to stare at Inuyasha with cold eyes "You are Inuyasha and that…that is the young woman you killed, the keeper of the Shikon jewel shards right?"

"Why do you care?" Inuyasha yelled in disgust

Himiko gracefully moved towards Kagome and grasped the handle of Tetsuiga. She stared at it in awe and pierced Inuyasha with a cold look as she pulled it out of the dead girl with a sickening sound. Inuyasha closed his eyes tight in remorse and revulsion. He did not want to see Kagome's blood or the sword that pierced her lifeless body.

"This must be the sword that everyone is talking about" she calmly spoke as she carefully examined the piece of metal "It doesn't look very intimidating but then again neither do you"

Inuyasha growled as he saw her snicker at her own joke "You wouldn't know shit!"

The sorceress ceased in laughing and walked to Inuyasha. He stared up at her face, which was now frozen with disgust. "You are pathetic!" she retorted, " You live life with such an arrogant feature it is know wonder she is dead!"

Inuyasha battled his emotions and tried hard not to show that he was hurt by her words but lost. "I didn't mean to" he said as he stared at the red bundle "I would do anything to bring her back"

Himiko's expression softened and she couldn't help but feel pity for him. Her soft hand trailed his face and he stared up at her in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Inuyasha said in confound expression

"I am…I don't know what I am doing" she said in dream like state.

She slowly leaned down and kissed his tense lips. Inuyasha froze in shock.

'What the fuck is she doing' he thought in panic 'and why do I feel like I want to kiss her back?'

The hanyou's thoughts and his instincts contradicted each other but gave in to the feeling of lust that he would later learn to regret. He returned the kiss and massaged his tongue against her soft lips until they opened. It was then that he plunged his tongue in her mouth hearing a soft moan escape her lips. She broke their immediate contact and backed away. A stunned expression plastered on her face.

"I don't know why I did that" her eyes lowered to the ground in embarrassment.

With her words still floating in the air she turned and mounted the beast leaving Inuyasha confused and breathless. They rode in silence with their troubled thought lurking within them. It was another hour before they reached her abode. It was a large, impressive structure. Several men greeted her when she had arrived. The young sorceress smiled and gave instruction as to where everything would go.

"I want the body to be taken to the temple, I will attend to it later" Himiko instructed in a formal tone

The men nodded and began to remove Kagome from the back of the beast. "And what of the demon, Lady Himiko?" one of the men questioned.

"You may take him to the main bath house, thank you" she replied in a grateful manner.

Inuyasha watched as she continued on and disappeared within her home.

"Lady Himiko must be taken with you," an elderly man said as he grabbed Inuyasha and pulled him off.

"Why do you say that, old man?" Inuyasha questioned

"Because you would be dead by now, much like your friend" the old man claimed as he propped the hanyou on his shoulder and led him towards the main bathhouse.

The sorceress's home was equally impressive inside as it was out. Inuyasha couldn't help but stare in wonder at the exotic items from far off places. He was slowly dragged from the presentable entrance to the main bathhouse, which was in the back of the home near a hot spring.

The men carried him into the hot spring and helped him to get into the proper attire for Inuyasha was still paralyzed from the neck down.

"Hey watch it you dirty bastards!" the hot tempered hanyou yelled as the men had dragged Inuyasha into a watering pail.

"Shut up!" the bald man screamed as he slapped Inuyasha hard in the back.

The three servant men reached the edge of the hot spring and snickered to themsleves as they pushed him in. Inuyasha gasped in a last attempt to get a decent supply of air as he rose to the surface and then sunk again, bobbing like bait in a quiet pond.

'I cant breath!' Inuyasha thought as he struggled to regain use of his limbs 'the water is burning my eye lids…fuck!'

He struggled and continued to drift to the bottom of the deepest spring.

'I can't hold my damn breath anymore…' he thought as his strength slowly dwindled within the delicate movement of water.

He slowly grew more tired and his lungs felt as if they were to explode. His mouth slowly opened in a last attempt to attain beloved air. Bubbles rose in schools as they escaped the captivity of Inuyasha's mouth and collided with the surface of the water. With his last failed attempt Inuyasha sank into a dark cavern of no return.
