Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Really people, if I owned Inuyasha, wouldn't I make my fic into an episode?
I want you people to know that this is not a romance between Inuyasha and the character that I made up, he is Kagome's man. Keep in mind this is not a predictable fic, at least I hope not! Also I am deeply sorry if this is in any way similar to anyone else's fanfic. This has derived from my own twisted mind. Don't pay any attention to my chapters, they hold no significance. I wrote this as one piece. With that said enjoy! I accept all questions and reviews, good or bad. It just tells me I need to improve on something.

Chapter 9
"You have a nasty habit of getting into trouble." Kaia looked up at his face and gently smiled. "Yeah, I do, don't I? Why did you save me?" "It's because I need you," he answered monotonously. Memories flooded into Kaia's mind pertaining to the incident with Inuyasha and his Tetsusaiga. "Oh yes, I forgot! The great demon, Lord Sesshomaru, can't do anything out of the goodness in his heart. And even though you try to hide it, there is good in you, somewhere; I can sense it." Sometime during her rants, Sesshomaru took two large strides and appeared in front of Kaia. "You're just a big, selfish, egotistical, jerk who-," but she never got to finish her sentence. Sesshomaru wrapped his only arm around Kaia's waist, pulled her close, and then kissed her fiercely. Taken by surprise, Kaia opened her eyes wide and let her sword fall to the ground. He broke the kiss and leaned his head down to her ear. He whispered,"I need you." Kaia nuzzled her cheek against his for a minute, then they both kissed passionately.
Inuyasha sat on a rock with his propped up on his hands and a sour look on his face. Shippo looked at Kagome. "What are we going to do Kagome?" The girl from the future looked at small kitsune demon. "We'll give him the Tetsusaiga of course! We'll get Kaia back. Won't we Inuyasha?" She assured. "Be quiet! I'm trying to think," Inuyasha said rather digruntledly. "I thought I smelled something burning," Miroku muttered under his breath. Inuyasha shot him a death glare. He then sighed. 'I don't want to give up my Tetsusiaga, but I won't let Sesshomaru kill Kaia. We'll figure something out; we have to.'
Kaia and Sesshomaru sat next to each other, while leaning against a tree. (Nothing happened! It will stay PG-14 according to the rating AdultSwim put on the show. Stupid perverts) They were talking about one another's pasts, and they were currently on Sesshomaru's. "Why do you two always fight?" Kaia asked quizzically. "We just do. It's always been that way. Anyway, he needs to pay for what he did to my arm." Kaia looked at him critically. "Well that's childish. If I do something about your arm, will you leave Inuyasha alone?" "I doubt you can, but I suppose I shall leave him alone. Only if he leaves me alone." "Good," she said as she moved to position herself on his lap. "You forget I have healing powers. But first I need to take measurements." Kaia sized his arm's and all five fingers' lengths. She started to explain how it would work. "Your new arm will be made out of pure magic; my magic. It can't get hurt and you can use it how you like. But, if I should die, it will disappear. So, you have to protect me," she teased. "Always," he replied all too seriously. Kaia smiled and continued to shape his arm. Every time she moved her hands over the air she left a peachy pale colored dust, which will eventually be his left arm. When Kaia saw Sesshomaru was sleeping, she started to hum, and then sing. After a while, something compelled her to look up. She met the golden gaze of Sesshomaru's eyes. Both smirked at the same time. To change the subject, Kaia said,"I'm almost done." He just continued to smirk. The very tips of Kaia's ears turned red in embarrassment as she worked on his last finger. The end of the day was approaching fast when she finished. Kaia yawned and turned to face Sesshomaru. "Now I have to go talk to Inuyasha," she said as she stumbled to get up. He pulled her back down. "Why do you have to talk to him?" Kaia was appalled,"He thinks you're going to kill me! I must tell him something." She started to struggle to get up again, but, even though she'd never admit it, she was too weak. "Why must you be so stubborn!?" He yelled. Kaia just looked at him defiantly. He sighed,"At least wait until tomorrow. Right now you don't have enough strength." "If I must," she said, secretly relieved, as she sat down to his right. "Yes, you must," he said after he kissed her forehead. "Now, go to sleep." But the comment wasn't necessary; Kaia was already leaned against his shoulder, sleeping. Instead of going to sleep himself, Sesshomaru studied his left arm. He moved it around and grasped air in and out. He could find absolutely no flaw. After he finished, he let his eyes close and sleep take over. Kaia was still asleep when Sesshomaru awoke the next morning. It had seemed that she moved much during her sleep since more bandages were showing below her neck. He traced a long finger over the blood-outline of the wound that he had inflicted. "I'm sorry," he whispered softly. "It's ok." The demon hadn't noticed that the sorceress had awakened. She sat up and started to unravel her bandages, beginning with the most previous wound. When Kaia finished, she had revealed a small crescent moon, like Sesshomaru's. Eventually the engraved star on her chest was also uncovered. She looked up at him and smiled once more. "I shall wear them with pride. Both of our symbols; linked. Just like you said." "So you were listening to me!" He accused. Kaia rolled her eyes. "Just vaguely." She grabbed her silver chopsticks, which were hanging by his scabbard, and started to put up her long, white hair. They both stood up and stretched from post-morning drowsiness. "Hmm, I just want to go to sleep," Kaia said sleepily. "Why don't you?" He asked, as he brushed one her waist-length bangs behind her ear. "I told you. I must speak with Inuyasha. I don't want him to worry." "You don't have to carry the weight of the world Kaia." She winked at him,"But if I didn't, who would?" Sesshomaru walked up behind Kaia and wrapped his arms around her waist. In turn, Kaia moved her head under his chin. "Remember, you're not alone anymore," he told her. "Nor are you." They stood like that for a while before Kaia spoke. "Are you going to come with me, to see Inuyasha?" "No, I wouldn't want to tempt the promise I made to you by looking at my little brother." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the forehead. "I'm proud," she said semi-mockingly. "I am however walking with you to the edge of their forest. Even though you would never admit it, you still haven't had enough sleep. Kaia ignored his last comment and scooped up her bag that the dragon had so kindly gotten previously when she was knocked out. "Let's go then," she stated before walking off. Sesshomaru smirked as he caught up with her. The walk was silent, but as they say, silence is golden. However, Sesshomaru had noticed that as they drew closer to the end of their forest and into the next, Kaia had grown extremely nervous. 'She hides it well,' he thought. But he refused to ask her what was wrong. 'Obviously if she's trying to hide it, then it's something that she doesn't want me to know. It's none of my business, if she wants me to know she'll tell me.' Soon they reached the forest's edge and they both stopped. Once you're done, I'll find you." A small smile appeared,"I know you will." Kaia gave him one last kiss and turned away to start walking again. A few steps away, Sesshomaru had strained to hear her last word. "Bye," Kaia whispered in the wind. 'Today's the seventh day. It will happen today,' she thought, depressed.
