Reunited Love

Chapter 4- "New Friends"

Disclaimer: My friends nor I own Inu-Yasha.

For those who have been waiting for this chapter, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry! I guess I got a bit too carried away with writing my Cyborg 009 story Finding Lost Love (for those who have not read it, please do read it!). I'll try to update more often!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~*~~Luna's POV~~*~~

I don't know how it happened, but one minute I was laying peacefully against a tree, the next, I was in the arms (yes, Sesshomaru has both arms in this story.) of the last youkai I had ever wanted to see.

It was true that we met as children and we weren't the best of friends. What am I saying?! Friends?! We weren't friends! We weren't even chums! He was so rude and arrogant! It was because of him that my sister and I moved to another village. Away from...him.

But they say people get more mature as they get older. For some youkai, this is true. At least for youkai like my sister and myself, and those high ranking politics of youkai. And by the looks of things, Sesshomaru had joined the political ranks. But I doubt he was truly as mature as he seemed. He was scheming something...I just know it!

~~*~~End POV~~*~~

~~*~~Sesshomaru's POV~~*~~

Who could've imagined that a scrawny little wimp of a neko could grow up to be so beautiful? No, I can't be thinking like this! The only thing this stupid neko is good for is amusement, or as a servant and nothing more! What has she done to me to make me think like this?

~~*~~End POV~~*~~

All through the trip, both Luna and Sesshomaru kept thinking about the past. Luna hated Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru hated Luna. Or so they were thinking to themselves.

They reached Sesshomaru's castle by night fall. So Sesshomaru put Luna down and made her follow him. Luna was to tired to argue and she had a large headache to boot. Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow she'd escape, when she had the energy.

Sesshomaru stopped in front of a door and turned to Luna, his face no longer displayed the slight amusement it held for his past memories.

"You will bathe here, then you are to go to bed." He said simply as he started to leave. "I will send for someone to show you to your room when you are done with your bath." And with that, he seemed to have merged with the shadows and disappeared.

'Great, just great. I'm having the perfect day.' Luna thought sarcastically to herself as she walked through the door and into the bath house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the bath, Luna was given a beautiful blue kimono with light blue Sakura petals and a sky blue sash to wear.

She was shown to her room, but just before she entered, she felt something tackle and latch onto her legs, followed by a light tug on her tail and the sound of a little girl's laughter.

"What the?" Luna said as she turned around to see a young human girl with black hair hugging her legs. The young girl looked up at Luna with innocent eyes.

"Will pretty youkai lady play Tag with Rin and Jaken?" Rin said with a smile.

Luna was about to ask a question of her own when she heard something of a tiny squawk coming from down the hall.

"Rin! Get back here you little...!" The voice said as it got closer, revealing a small, ugly toad youkai with a rather ugly staff waddling over in a funny looking run.

"Rin to fast for Jaken!" Rin laughed as she and Jaken started running in circles around Luna, who was getting confused, but had gotten the jest that the amusing little human was Rin and the ugly toad was Jaken.

"Ano...excuse me..." Luna tried getting Jaken's attention. Sure he was revolting to the eyes, but surely he'd have a few answers to her questions. But Jaken didn't seem to notice Luna one bit. Okay, time for a different approach.

"Jaken!" Maybe calling him by name would work? ...Nope...still ignored by the toad. The toad must be deaf. This time will be the direct approach. So Luna snatched the Staff of Heads from Jaken's hands. He stopped. That worked.

*WHACK* "I'm talking to you toad-boy!"

Rin laughed at the sight of a large lump on Jaken's head. Jaken just glared at Rin and looked up at Luna.

"What is the meaning of this?! How dare you hit me like that! I'll have you tossed out for that!" Jaken hollered.

"Fine by me." Luna started. "I want out anyways. Sesshomaru has some nerve forcing me here!"

"Eh? You must be the new neko servant."

'Servant?!' Thought Luna. 'Why that mutt!!'

"Sesshomaru-sama says that your job will be to play with her." Said Jaken as he pointed to Rin.

'I guess that's better then being forced to serve him breakfast in bed.' Luna thought sarcastically.

"Fine." Luna decided that she was content on Jaken's answer to her question as she dropped the Staff of Heads on Jaken's head and went into was had become her room, followed by Rin.

"Yay! Rin has a new onee-chan!" Beamed Rin. Luna couldn't help but smile. At least Sesshomaru had some pleasent company. But what Rin saw in Sesshomaru that made her happy, Luna could only guess.

Just then, in burst an angry Jaken with two lumps on his head (the second came from the Staff of Heads when Luna dropped it on his head), and wanting revenge. But just as he got close enough, he found himself flying out the window on a one-way trip out of castle grounds.

~~~Few days later w/Inu and co.~~~

Sakeri had become one of the group, welcomed by all. Sakeri and Inu-Yasha wouldn't quite admit that they were nothing more then friends, so Miroku tried his...hand (bad pun, I know) in getting Sakeri. Though he learned the hard way that Sakeri was off-limits. And he had the lumps to prove it. For each of his...attempts, he got hit with Sango's Hiraikotsu, and a punch from Inu-Yasha and Sakeri. Yes, Sakeri was definitely off-limits.

~~Meanwhile at a nearby cliff~~

A purple streak flashed by an airborne bat youkai.

"Get back here you furball!" It screeched.

"Make me!" The streak responded.

By now the bat youkai was more then a little annoyed by his opponent. So he decided to take the mysterious purple figure for a little ride off the cliff. He grabbed the figure by it's shoulders and started flying towards the cliff.

'Ha! I was hoping to get this close to the sap!' The figure thought with a smirk.

"CLAWS OF HELLFIRE!!" The figure called out as it's claws ripped right through the small bat youkai as it let out a screech of pain. The shard that had been powering the bat youkai was snatched by the figure as the bat youkai turned to dust.

The figure put the shard in a small pouch and then realized that something wasn't quite right. But what?

'Wait...didn't the bat youkai carry me off the cliff? Then that would mean...' The figure thought as it looked down. 'Uh oh...' The figure started plummeting downward, letting out a scream the whole way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How much longer do we have to walk? My feet are starting to hurt!" Kagome complained. The group hadn't taken a break in hours.

Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome.

"Feh, We'll walk until we find another shard. Now stop complaining wench!" Was Inu-Yasha's not so surprising response as they kept walking.

They hadn't gone far when they heard a scream...from above. They looked up to see something purple descending fast. But before anyone could do anything...*THUD* the figure landed right on top of Miroku.

Sakeri looked closely at the fallen purple blur and her eyes widdened.

'I don't believe it! It couldn't be...'
