Meanwhile, Jaken ran to Sesshoumaru to tell him about Mai and the demon. Jaken was sure that this would help his master out a lot. Sesshoumaru was sitting on a rock that sat on a cliff that gave him a spectacular view of the forest and the sky above. Jaken ran over to his side. He barely glanced over his side before he told Jaken to stand where he was.
" Jaken. If it's something that you think will interest me in the least, tell me. Otherwise, get lost." Sesshoumaru was still pissed off from a few days back and that cursed herb. He didn't want anything else that Jaken bought if it was a herb or some kind of plant unless he recognized it. So if it was, he was ready to kick him clear across his jaw.
" Yes me Lord. It's about Mai." Jaken said. Sesshoumaru hissed. He didn't want to remember her. She was right before about the herb. That she had the right not to tell him about it. He only asked her how to use it.
She told him not to use it at all. I guess that girl was right about saving my life....NO! I'm NOT going to let her win. " ," he replied in a wisper.
" Ah...yes. Mai was with Inu Yasha, and they were fighting that demon that you sent out and told me to watch. Well, that demon had a jewel shard in it. Mai seen it, took out this sword that looked like the Tetsusaiga, and sliced it's arm right off. When Inu Yasha cut off the demon's head, Mai and the monk ran away from the wave of blood, but she tripped on a treeroot and tumbled all the way down the hill, resulting in a broken arm and a sprained foot," Jaken ended.
Sesshoumaru glanced at his servant oddly. " Why would I care?" he asked.
Jaken walked over to him more, but stayed 2 feet away from him. " Well, the only reason I told you this was because she could give you her sword. It's like the Tetsusaiga, but more powerful!" he exclaimed.
Sesshoumaru's eye's widened. If the sword is more powerful than the Tetsusaiga, then Jaken must be telling the truth. " Tell me Jaken, where did they take Mai to?" he asked curiously.
" They took her over to someone's house named Kaede. Mai's been resting there for 2 days now," Jaken informed Sesshoumaru.
" Then it's settled. We go find her and bring her back to us." Sesshoumaru almost sounded determined to get Mai back. Jaked was almost blown off of his feet when Sesshoumaru ran away from him.
" Lord Sesshoumaru! Do you even know where you're going?" Jaken yelled out. Sesshoumaru stopped in his tracks. For once, he felt stupid. He didn't know where he was going, but then again, he could sniff her out. That way, he would find her. So he continued to run. Jaken sighed and ran after Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru kept headstrong about finding Mai. It was like finally getting the Tetsusaiga from his inferior little brother Inu Yasha. It was like a must. He had to have her back in his sights. It was a must have. Like becoming a full demon to Inu Yasha, having Mai back near him again was his intentions and he wasn't going to let anything get to him. He finally got a wiff of Mai's sent. He smirked. She was nearby. He could almost taste her scent. Sesshoumaru continued running twoards her scent until he reached a villiage. There, her scent was even stronger. It grew even stronger and stronger until he finally stopped in front of Kaede's hut. Gracefully, he jumped into the doorway and stood his ground.
There was a low glow in the room from the candle. He could barely recognize anyone in the room until he got closer. On the left was the monk and the little foxboy. On the right was Inu Yasha and his wench, but sleeping peacefully in the middle was Mai. Not wanting to wake up his brother and annoying friends, Sesshoumaru got Mai's things up first, then walked over to the bed. He pulled the blanket from over her and gently picked her up with his arms. Sesshoumaru ran out of the hut and off into the woods with a sleeping Mai in his arms. He was careful as to where he ran because he didn't want to trip and make her fall on her bad arm, but of course he would never do that. Sesshoumaru looked down at Mai. She was sleeping peacefully in the crook of his arm.
He felt this sudden warmth in his heart when he looked down at her. It was this kind of warmth that was new and strange for him to feel. He was probibly growing that human emotion that made his younger brother feel sympathy and friendliness twoards them....No! He wouldn't let it get to him. Stupid human emotion! Why was he even thinking of it? Sesshoumaru got back to the cave when Mai woke up. He already lied her down in the bed when she came to. She sat up.
