Chapter 6: a new transformation

Kaida woke up to find herself lying in a bed. She looked to find herself in completely different cloths. She wore a red kimono with silver dragons around it. She looked around to find herself in a huge bedroom. The door opened and a women walked in.

"Ah, miss you are awake. Lord Sesshomaru told me to tell you that when you wake to see him in the library." She bowed and walked out.

Kaida walked out of the room and into the hall. She looked around to find herself in a castle. She easily got lost. But as she walked around Kaida looked at the paintings and sculptures all around the castle. She found a maid and ran to her.

"um… look I'm lost. Can you tell me where the library is?"

The women nodded and pointed at a door across the hall. Kaida was embarrassed. She whispered a thanks and ran into the room. once she closed the door, Kaida knew she would get lost the library as well. She had never seen a place with so many books. She walked around looking for Sesshomaru. She screamed as a hand gripped her shoulder. Kaida spun around to see Sesshomaru behind her.

"I'm sorry, did I frighten you?" he asked.

Kaida shook her head. "No just startled. How long have I been out?"

"For about a week."

"A WEEK?!" Kaida started to freak. She didn't remember much about what had happened sense the fight.

"Yes. Ever sense I brought you here you have been sleeping. Sometimes your would wake but delusional. Don't ask what you said. but you only have a month."

Kaida looked into his eyes. "Why did you look for me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Back when I was with Inuyasha I could feel you watching me. when we got out of the well you where there, and when he was telling everyone about me you where there watching me. I could tell you where troubled by something."

Sesshomaru looked away. "come on, you must be hungry."

Kaida grabbed him by the shoulders and spun him around. "Don't ignore me! was it about what I said to you in the cave?"

He looked at her. "Yes. The words you said was different. tell me did you mean it when you said that you didn't regret saving me? that you did it because you wanted to?"

Kaida nodded. "I never regret things. I don't think I have ever regretted anything in my whole life. I would never save someone if I knew they were evil."

"Who's to say I'm not?"

"And who's to say you are?"

Sesshomaru was shocked. For everything he said Kaida had something else to say that made him speechless.

"If you where truly a heartless demon then you would have killed Rin along time ago. But you didn't. instead you allow her to follow you around. If you ask me I don't think that qualifies as evil."

Sesshomaru smiled. "You're very smart for a half-bread demon." he said. 'I maybe falling for this half-bread…' he thought to himself. "Come, you must be hungry. After you eat you need to bath. There is a spring in the back for you to bath in."

Kaida ate to her hearts content then went outside to take a bath. She stood in front of the spring.

"well my body isn't going to wash itself." She said before jumping in. Kaida surfaced shivering. "My god it's cold!" she yelled. The something caught her eye. She looked down to see black ink flowing around her. it also covered some of her body. She moved out of the way seeing it disappear. She dunked her head underwater and resurface again to see more of the ink appear then disappear. Once it was all gone she looked in her refection to see her hair silver again. But on top of her head sat cat ears and her eyes had become slits. That's when she screamed.

Sesshomaru ran up to see what had happened. he almost didn't recognize Kaida when he saw her with her new look. "What happened here?" he asked.

"You guess is as good as mine Sesshomaru." She whispered. "I think this is my true form…"
He looked her up and down. "Except for the eyes, you look almost like Inuyasha." He muttered.

"I heard that!" she yelled at him.

He chuckled. "Yes I have forgotten already. Your ears are now sharper then they used to be. Tell me Kaida, what is your sense of small like?"

Kaida sniffed the air. Instantly she was filled with all the scents of the mountain, and the ground around her. She could even smell the water around her and traces of the dye. That's when she realized that she was still naked. Kaida squealed and submerged her body in the water. Sesshomaru looked at her weird.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Sesshomaru! I'm still bathing here. So if you don't mind… GO AWAY!" she yelled.

Sesshomaru smiled at her shyness. "As you wish. But after you bath, come and find me." he said before leaving.

Kaida got out of the bath a half-in-hour later. She felt so much better after she washed herself. She walked into the castle hoping to find Sesshomaru, but it wasn't easy. His scent was all over the place. Kaida sat down and tried to find him another way: though his aura. She found the strand of his aura and followed it. It reached to the bedroom that she was sleeping earlier. She slowly opened the door and walked in. once she closed the door she felt arms got around her.

"What are you doing in my room." Sesshomaru whispered in her ear making her shiver.

"Well you told me to go and find you so I did. And if I knew this was your room then I would have knocked. Sorry I didn't." she snapped.

"What's wrong? You've gotten all defensive all of a sudden. Have I don't something to offend you?"

Kaida shook her head. But she could feel Sesshomaru's power just by touching him. She could feel his thoughts were filled with desire. She turned herself around and pushed away from him wishing she didn't. As soon as she turned around she could see that Sesshomaru didn't wear his armor, or even the top of his kimono. Kaida could feel her face turning red. She turned back around.

"Well you wanted to see me Sesshomaru, so what's up?" she said hearing her voice crack.

Once again he put his arms around her shoulders pulling her towards him. "Tell me Kaida, do you fear me?"

She closed her eyes seeing his aura surround hers. She could tell it was power to fear, but it was gentle too. "No I don't."

"You would be among the first. Many fear me Kaida. I have killed both humans and demons alike. And as we speak I wish to kill Inuyasha. But still you do not fear me. Why?"

Kaida smiled. "Your aura is dark Sesshomaru, but I can feel the pain of loss in it. I know you've killed. And I don't care. Like I told your brother, siblings fight but you guy's is just a bit more deadly. Nothing wrong with that. My ancestor Sanzo killed many, and from what I hear he started to kill whatever stood in his way, but he still fell in love. It doesn't make him heartless and it doesn't make you heartless either. I really don't think there is something as pure evil. I know your not." She broke away from him. "Think about that for a while Sesshomaru. I'll be outside in a tree somewhere." Then she left.

Sesshomaru sat down on his bed once she left. Why did he hate Inuyasha so much? Was it just because he was a half-demon and half-demons did not deserve to live? Or was it something else? He remembered when he saw his brother climb out of the well with Kaida in his arms. Seeing that angered Sesshomaru. But why? What was it about this girl that made him catch his breath? Why did she touch him so? He looked down at his hands remembering what she said.

I know you've killed. And I don't care. It doesn't make him heartless and it doesn't make you heartless either. I know your not.

Kaida could understand him more then he could understand himself. For once Sesshomaru found himself falling in love with the Half-demon cat.
