Hello everybody! Thanks for your reviews!!

Disclaimer: The anime series Inuyasha or manga does not belong to me. However, this plot does and I do not take plagiarism lightly, so I hope you get the point...



Warnings:
Hmm, well, not much, drama, a moody you, a supposedly irritated Sesshoumaru and another lime...

Chapter 25



Sun-light filters into the nice-sized room from the window, raining down on the two occupants, one sitting on a cushion near the table and the other kneeling before the occupant sitting. You shift and bite down on your lower-lip staring down at your presently wounded, but now properly bandaged arm while holding back a wince. Who knew soldiers could be so mean these days, especially against pretty, kind girls as yourself. Yeah, everyone seemed to be against you nowadays, you're just trying to make a decent living in the feudal era! It's not like you're-

"(Insert Name), you should be more careful from now on and try not to put any strain on this arm, alright?" Naomi says standing up from her kneeling position, finally satisfied with the style your bandaged arm is in.

"Alright, thanks, Naomi." You reply to the girl smiling weakly.

"Good, well see you later, (Insert Name)!" Naomi replies and starts to walk toward the exit of the room.

"Wait! Where are you going?" You ask the retreating girl standing up.

"I'm just going to look around the castle, someone must know about these humans attacking you." She replies, turning around facing you. You nod glancing downwards in remembrance.

"Alright..." You reply and the other girl nods and leaves the room.

After you hear the other teen's footsteps fade away you kneel down beside the table and slide out your sword, the kyojin from under it. After retrieving your weapon you exit the room deciding to go back out into the greenery to find out if there are more soldiers and they're here. After getting assistance from a maid you finally find your way back to at the west wing of the castle, now walking down a hall that held many rooms that didn't have as much demons as they did a few nights ago. Earlier when you were wandering around you found out and saw most were leaving... Maybe the convention was ending early... You slowly walk down the castle hall not in any hurry.

An unexpected wave of dizziness harshly flows through you and gray blurs appear before your eyes. Feeling like you were about to pass out you lean on the wall to your right and put the back of your hand to your forehead. No fever, it was just probably because of your wound and... Blood lost... You lean back on the shoji wall and hear a familiar voice behind the wall... Lord Blade...

"We've already gotten rid of one village that was near the castle and now we're going toward the manor that has constantly been sending humans to snoop around here and the rest of the villages... Any comments Lord Sesshoumaru?" Blade asks as your eyes widen... Sesshoumaru! Sesshoumaru's with him?! So, this is what they must be chatting about all along... "Well, do make a decision to join with us soon; I'll be right back..."

You hear footsteps approach the shoji door you're leaning on and you back away from it... Just about when you're about to run for cover you hear a shoji door sliding open and close from the inside of the room. You sigh relieved and walk towards the shoji again cautiously and turn your back towards it. Was Blade plotting to destroy all the villages in this area?! And why's Sesshoumaru involved with this?! Still in thought you don't notice the shoji door slide open behind you.

"(Insert Name)...?" Your eyes broaden once more as you turn around and smile nervously.

Later

You softly glare at the dog demon who's standing across the room leaning on the wall. You stand up from sitting on the futon and slowly approach him.

"Are you really going along with Blade's plans...?" You ask him quietly. Not receiving an answer you go on. "I'm human, too... Sooner or later Blade would want to..."You pause seeing him raise his head and glare at you. "..Get rid of me, too..."

You look away, folding your arms and frowning at the floor. Earlier you heard a bit about Blade's plans involving Sesshoumaru and when Sesshoumaru caught you outside the door he cut the meeting short and hasn't said anything to you ever since... This was indeed testing your sanity...

"Sesshoumaru-"

"This is none of your concern and I do not want to involve you in it, so go annoy someone else!" He finally announces glaring straight at you, daring you to protest, which ignites your small, but slowly growing bonfire of frustration to a blaze.

"Of course it's my concern! I never meant to listen in, but it's wrong!" You predictably protest glaring right back at the dog demon who gives you a look of indifference before looking away and carelessly pouring a bottle of sake into flames. Voosh!! "I know us humans are dumb and weak and all, but that's not a reason to rub out our existence! Even for you!" You finish, while making hand gestures.

You sigh quietly before turning your gaze back to the floor and folding your arms. This guy... He has issues! Who knew he could turn out to be such a two-faced person?! Why- Your inward rants could to a halt as you notice out the side of your eye, him leave his place from the wall and slowly approaching you.

"If Blade does do as he planned what would you do?" He asks quietly coming closer and closer, still not looking directing at you.

"I'd stop him, of course." You reply rolling your eyes at the simple question.

"And if I joined him?" The indifferent look still remains as his eyes finally set upon you directly. You pause glancing away in nervous thought before regaining your ground.

"I'd have to stop you, then." You answer shifting your gaze back toward him, now noticing his close presence before you.

"And how would you do such?" He asks and you notice the slight hint of mockery in his voice.

"... That depends on the situation, but how doesn't matter, it's just that I do if that happens." You reply frowning up at the dog demon. 'And if he was to betray me... I'd have to...'

"You seem a bit confident, are you sure you could stop me?" He asks as a smirk twitches upon his lips.

"Of course, I'd have to..." You murmur noticing him taking a step closer, a mere inch away from you.

You glance toward the floor once again as you feel the heat radiating off his body and closing in on you. You take an uncomfortable step backwards away from the heat, it was making you hot! You squeak lightly as your back hits the wall not creating much of a distance between you and dog demon. He once again enters your bubble of personal space. You could almost feel the smirk gracing his lips as he raises his arms and rests his hands flat on the wall beside your shoulders.

"Can you stop me now?" He asks looking down at you and you finally raise your head to at him directly.

"Of course" You answer frowning up at the smirking dog.

"Then try!" He mutters, then finally presses his lips against yours, making no attempt to be gentle.

5 Hours Prior

The fair-haired girl watches amusedly as the giggling Rin runs away from Ryochi. Leaves crunch underneath her sandals as she treads down the forest path in direction of a certain cave. She pauses for a second hearing other two's voices fade away in the distance.

"Rin, Ryochi! It's time to go back to Shin's!" She calls out and not receiving any reply she sighs and starts to head in the direction the two went.

"Don't leave so soon, Lady Adira! Children should have much more time to play these days!" A deep, silky says behind her. The surprised fair-haired teen turns around to find a tall, slim demon in human-form, approaching them from out of the shadows of a tree.

"W-who are you and how do you know my name?!" The surprised blonde asks the demon, who is now half seen and out of the shadows.

"Dear, dear Adira you should know the person who has helped to resurrect you... But, you don't remember do you?" The demons' smirk widens when he sees the shocked expressions on the blonde's face. "But, since you've forgotten, I'll tell you again and this time I'm sure you definitely won't forget!" The demon stops a few feet away from the two grinning as a strange glint appeared in his emerald eyes.

"My name... Is Kurayami and to this day forward, Lady Adira you will remember your past!!" He yells as his eyes started to glow a blinding, white light enveloping the blonde.

"Adiraaa!!"

Present Time

You bite down on your bottom lip as warm lips trail down your jaw and neck, nipping and licking at your sensitive skin. Who knew eavesdropping could lead to this? You gasp as you feel a clawed hand shift upwards and squeeze your breast. Maybe you could snoop around more often? You feel your gi loosen and a clawed hand enter and run over your bare stomach and farther upwards and grasp your breast. You moan softly finally getting his much wanted touch upon you. Can/should you stop him now?
