Chapter 7: in the month
Kaida sat in the tree just outside the castle grounds humming to herself. She wondered how long it would take Sesshomaru to find her. Probably not that long knowing him. Kaida knew that she shouldn't have read into his past, but she couldn't help it. But she couldn't look too far, only a month away. That's as far as her ability allowed her to. But all she saw there was loneness he was either with Jaken and Rin, or he was alone fighting some sort of demon. She could tell that he thought Rin as a daughter, nothing more. She sighed. "Man that demon is hard to read." Kaida whispered to herself.
"Hey miss, why are you in that tree?"
Kaida looked down to see Rin there once again. "Hey there Rin, what are you doing?"
"I'm hiding from Jaken."
Kaida laughed. "Your always giving him a hard time aren't you?"
Rin smiled. "Well Lord Sesshomaru is always busy and he has Jaken take care of me when we're back at the castle."
Kaida jumped out of the tree. It reminded her of when she had training with her cousin with ninja skills. She smiled evilly. "Rin, does Sesshomaru have something called shuriken, or maybe a katana?" Rin nodded. "Good. Can you get some for me please?" Rin nodded and ran off.
Kaida jumped back in the tree waiting for Rin to come back. She was about to drift off when she caught Rin's scent coming towards her. She jumped down as soon and Rin came into the clearing. She held a small bag. When Kaida opened it she smiled. In it was about 20 shuriken and a Ninja-To or also known as a ninja sword.
"Hey Rin, you want to have some fun with Jaken?" Kaida smirked.
"What do you mean Miss?"
"Let's test some of these things on him. You know have some harmless fun. I need the practice after al. And don't worry if I hit the little guy I can heal him."
Rin nodded. "Okay!"
Kaida picked up Jaken's sent not too far from where they where at. Kaida strapped she sword to her side, but kept the shuriken in the bag sense she didn't have a holster for them. She allowed Rin on her back as they slowly stalked Jaken.
They finally found him in a small clearing in the trees. Kaida smirked picking up three stars. "Now watch Rin. I won't actually hit him, but I'll pin him to the tree behind him." Kaida whispered.
Kaida then threw the shuriken and like she said pinned him to the tree. Jaken started to freak out.
"Help! Lord Sesshomaru there is an intruder here!" Jaken yelled.
Kaida stood up laughing. "Don't worry Jaken, I want actually going to kill you. Just hoping my cousin's training didn't go to waist." She said.
But as soon as she said it she was attacked from behind. Kaida drew her sword in defense and blocked the attack, barely. She saw that it was a demon that had attacked her.
"What the hell?!" she yelled as they broke away. "Rin, get Jaken down and run. go get Sesshomaru!" she yelled.
Rin nodded and ran over to Jaken, freed him, and ran off. The demon saw them run off and tried to attack them. Kaida grabbed the bag and threw four shuriken into the demon's back. It turned around and attacked her again.
"Dam why wont you die?!" she snapped as the demon slashed her arm. Kaida was then pushed into the tree. She used that to her advantage and pushed off the tree impaling the demon in the chest with her sword. They both fell down with a loud thud. Kaida slowly stood up feeling her joints in pain.
"Note to self," she whispered. "Work out more and I wont feel this kind of pain." She felt her spin pop and she cried out in pain. "Damn that hurts." She looked at her arm and saw that it wasn't as bad as she thought. "Well that's good at least." She sat down and started to heal her wounds. That's when she heard a laugh from behind her. Kaida stood up to see a women holding a fan behind her.
"Good job girl." the women said.
"Who are you?" Kaida snapped. She was not in the mood for another fight. She didn't think she could deal with another one yet.
"My name is Kagura. I am hear because Naraku wants you." she said smiling.
She remembered in Inuyasha's memory that Naraku was their enemy and Kagura was a spawn of Naraku, a wind demon.
"And what do I have the pleasure of your master?"
"That is none of your business. Just make this a lot easier on both of us and come with me."
Kaida yanked the ninja-to out of the demon. "You need to learn something. I don't go without a fight." She smirked. Kaida could feel her adrenaline coming back.
Kagura lifted her fan. "Then so it shall be." Around her the wind grew. "WIND-BLADES DANCE!" she yelled as blades of wind attacked Kaida.
Kaida blocked them to the best of her abilities but she still was cut. Kaida fell to the ground in pain. "Damn…" she whispered. "Why does my body have to feel this much pain?"
"That was easy." Kagura said. Before she could get to her, she was attacked. This time by Sesshomaru.
"Kagura, why are you here?" He snapped.
"Damn…" she whispered and flew off.
Sesshomaru ran over to Kaida. "Kaida, are you alright?" he whispered.
"I'm in pain but besides that… I've had better days." And she passed out in his arms.
Kaida woke up an hour later in a daze. She found herself in Sesshomaru's room again. She sat up and found Sesshomaru sitting on the end of the bed in deep thought.
"Sesshomaru?"
He turned around and embraced Kaida. "I was worried. Don't ever do anything like that again!"
Kaida was shocked. Never has Sesshomaru done anything like this. "It's okay. How long have I been out this time?"
"A week once again. But all your wounds have been healed during that time." He held her tighter. "Don't ever do anything that will put your life endanger do you hear me?" he snapped.
Kaida giggled. "Don't worry. But there is a problem."
He looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I only have a week left here before I have to return to Inuyasha and the others."
"Do you not like it here?"
Kaida shook her head. "It's not like that. I promised Miroku that I would come back after a month. but I promise that after a month there I'll come back. You know an on off thing."
Sesshomaru. "As long as you promise to come back." He said before kissing her.
