Chapter 5: North we Go
Sakura left the library and walked to her room in a daze. 'I remember him...he was so kind and gentle towards me.' Tears stung her eyes as she continued down the hall to her room. 'I think I have to talk to Kouga now.' She quietly opened the door and expected Kouga to still be fast asleep. Little to her surprise he was up and sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Sakura." He said out loud as she walked into the room. 'She is crying..' He stood up and walked over to her. "Sakura, what's wrong, please tell me koi." He placed his hand on her cheek and wiped the last of her tears away.
"Don't call me that Kouga." She said to him as she pulled away from his embrace and walked to a closet on the side of the room. Opening it she pulled out an outfit much like Sesshomaru's with the colors reversed.
Kouga stood stunned as he watched Sakura ignore him and grab clothes. 'Why would she not want me to call her koi.' "Sakura, please tell me what is bothering you. I care deeply for you and it hurts me to see you this way."
'How dare he....Say its hurts him...he has no idea what I have just been through.' She turned to look at him with a glare on her face. "You will never understand the pain that I am going through. No one but Sesshomaru can understand." She said sternly as her body gave out and she found herself on the floor hugging her knees to her chest and crying her eyes out.
"Sakura, I am here, tell me what happened. Did Sesshomaru hurt you?" Kouga asked confused. 'Why can't see tell me what is bothering her.'
"He would never hurt me. And I am not to sure that I can tell you what is going on. I am afraid of what the truth could do." She said to him as she walked behind a wall to change.
"If it is the truth then it is ok. Please, Sakura, tell me what has made you so sad."
"My whole life was a lie. I am not the daughter of Inutaisho, this mark on my forehead is a tattoo. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are not my brothers." Sakura told him as she walked out from behind the wall with tears running down her face again.
"Sakura, I think they would still care for you if you weren't their sister anyway." Kouga said trying to comfort her.
"There is more to it then that, Kouga." Sakura said as she took a deep breath. "When I was first brought here, it was because my father was at war and could not keep me safe. Inutaisho and my father were going to form their lands through a marriage." Sakura took another deep breath and closed her eyes. "A marriage between myself and Sesshomaru. Don't you see Kouga, Sesshomaru and I were childhood friends and we were to be mated with each other when the time came."
"NANI!" Kouga yelled as he walked over to her. "You have already accepted my offer to be my mate. Come back to the den with me and we can make it final." He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly.
"No." Sakura said as she tried to free herself from his arms.
"No? What is that suppose to mean? You would rather be with a mutt who acted like your brother for most your life!" Kouga screamed at her. "I don't care if I have to force you. You will come with me and become my mate tonight!"
"Kouga, please! Stop this." Sakura yelled as she tried harder to get out of his arms. It was of no use her mixed emotions had left her body drained. She wasn't strong enough to pull away from Kouga. 'I need help...' She thought of the only thing that could save her. "SESSHOMARU!" she yelled as loud as she could.
Suddenly the doors to her room flung open and Sesshomaru ran in. "What is it?" He asked as a look of hate came on his face as he watched Kouga holding Sakura tightly.
"Oh you know, women. She doesn't want to come back with me to become my mate, so I have to force her." Kouga said as a cocky smile graced his lips.
Sesshomaru's eyes went wide as he ingested all of Kouga's words. "If she doesn't want to go with you, remove her from your arms and get out of my home." Sesshomaru said as his eyes started to bleed red.
"No I think I will take her away." Kouga said as he made his way to the window only to be stopped by someone pulling on his tail. "Oi! What's the big idea that hurt!"
"Let her go now and I will let you keep your life Wolf!" Sesshomaru yelled as he barred his razor sharp fangs.
"Hmph." Kouga voiced as he dropped Sakura to the floor and jumped out the window. "This is far from over Sakura, I will make you mine!"
After Kouga had let her go Sakura sat still in the crumpled pile she was thrown in. 'How could he change from being so nice to being so mean...' Suddenly pain gripped her head and she let out a scream as her body was engulfed in a white light.
Flashback
"Sesshomau-sama! Where are you Sesshomaru!" A young teenage Sakura yelled as she ran through the remains of the castle. 'Where would they hide him?' She thought to herself as she continued running down the hall. She took a quick right and was stopped in her tracks.
"Well well, what do we have here." Said a strange voice.
"What a pretty little girl..." Said another menacing voice.
"Forget about the boy lets take her instead." said a commanding tone.
Sakura's eyes widened when she realized. 'There here for Sesshomaru-sama.' She decided to do the best thing she could for him.
"Take me in his place." She said as her bangs hid her eyes from their view.
"Are you sure you want to do that young one?" Said the leader.
"If it will protect my mate, I will do anything." Sakura said as she gained control of her fear and stood her ground. "I won't let you have him."
"Your to young to have a mate little one. But I can show you what it feels like to have a real man." Said the leader in a creepy voice that brought Sakura's fear back.
"You will step away from her if you value your life." Said a young man's voice.
"And who is going to stop us if we decide not to." Came the leader.
"I, Sesshomaru, first son of Inutaisho will make sure you never see the light of day again!"
"Leader, that's the boy we are suppose to get!" Cried one of the smaller demons.
"Well then get him!!" Yelled the leader.
"Hai!" Yelled the other demons as they cornered Sesshomaru.
"You think the likes of you can capture me?" Yelled Sesshomaru as his left hand glowed a slight green.
"Don't underestimate him!" Yelled the leader as he ran to go join them.
Sesshomaru's hand burned green as he formed a whip and took out three demons by slashing their bodies in half. As the blood sprayed everywhere he smirked and got ready to attack again. "You will all die for what you have said to my mate!"
"I think not little one." Yelled the leader as he unsheathed his sword.
Sesshomaru didn't have a sword so he was regulated to use his whip and he couldn't transform while he was inside. 'Dammit this might get bad.' He chanced a look at Sakura and was surprised by her. Her eyes were glaring at the man whose was attacking him and he could smell the faint scent of blood coming from her. 'Was she hurt?'
Sakura watched as the man lunged at Sesshomaru and cut his side. The sight and smell of Sesshomaru's blood made Sakura grow angry. She dug her nails into her hands and felt the blood drip down. "Get away from him this instant!" She yelled at the leader. Who backed away from Sesshomaru to look over at Sakura who was glowing a slight orange. "If you touch him again I will kill you." She said to him as she walked towards him.
"Men, attack the girl!" Yelled the leader.
All the other demons took off after Sakura. As soon as they got within reach of her she laughed and held up her hands and threw the orange light at them. Fire engulfed the demons as they screamed for mercy. "You worthless demons, your cries for mercy will do nothing for you!" Sakura yelled as she let the fire take all of the demons in front of her.
Sesshomaru's eyes went wide as he watched Sakura defeat the demons. 'She is so strong, and she is a demon who can use human magic!' He watched as the leader inched his way to Sakura to catch her off guard. "I think not!" Sesshomaru yelled as he unleashed his whip and split the leader in half. He quickly ran over to Sakura.
"Sakura..." He said to her gently. "There are no more enemies it's ok Koi." He said to her as he pulled her to his body. The orange aura faded quickly as Sakura felt her body next to Sesshomaru's.
"Sesshomaru, are you alright?" She asked as she inspected his side. There was a deep cut on the side of his body and he flinched as she poked at it.
"That hurts stop touching it!" He said to her. He watched as she looked at the wound and then he felt embarrassed as she started to lick the wound clean. "Sakura, what are you doing?" He asked her as he took deep breaths to try and control himself.
"I'm cleaning the wound, calm down Sesshomaru." Sakura said as she continued to lick the wound clean. When she was satisfied with her job she stood up and faced Sesshomaru. "I don't know what came over me. I saw you hurt and I just snapped. "
"It's ok koi." He said as he pulled her into his arms. "Everything will be ok now." he said as he grabbed her hand and lead her down the hall. "Let us find my father. He will tell us where to go."
"Hai." Sakura said to him as a smile graced her face and her grip on Sesshomaru's hand got tighter.
End Flashback
Sakura continued to stare at the ground. 'I was older in that one, almost to the age where we could of mated...He was already that age, why didn't he take me earlier?' She felt a hand on her shoulder which made her flinch.
"Sakura, its ok now." Came the soft voice.
"Sesshomaru..." Sakura said as she leaned back into him. "My vision...We were older. Within a year we would have been mates. I understand what my feelings were for you." Sakura turned around so she could face him. "Sesshomaru, do you remember the time when we fought the demons in the hallway. It was the first time you called me koi."
Sesshomaru looked down to the ground. "Hai, you had called me your mate even though we had a year left to wait. You set fire to most of the demons and then licked my wound clean."
Sakura smiled as she looked at him. "I want to visit my grandfather and I want you to come with me."
"Alright. I have to prepare the castle for my leave and I am sure that Rin will be upset. I haven't stopped to see her at all today." Sesshomaru said as he stroked his chin.
"Who is Rin?" Sakura asked.
"She is a young child that I saved a little while ago." He said to her as he stood to leave the room. "Would you like to meet her?"
"Hai. I would like to met the child." Sakura said as she followed him out the door.
"She should be in the gardens with Jaken right now." He said as he lead her out to the gardens and the night sky. "Rin." He called out.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Rin is happy to see you!" Said the bubbly little girl as she flung her arms around his leg. "Jaken is really no fun to play with.."
"Rin, I want you to meet someone." Sesshomaru said as he inched down to look her in the eye.
"Ok Sesshomaru-sama." Rin said happily.
Sesshomaru stood up and looked over at Sakura. "Rin, this is Sakura."
Rin looked up to see the a female demon that looked much like her Sesshomaru-sama. "Hello Lady Sakura, are you Sesshomaru-sama's girlfriend?" Rin asked as she hugged Sakura's legs.
"Hello Rin.." Sakura said as she bent her knees to look the small girl in the eye.
"Are you Sesshomaru-sama's girlfriend?" The young child asked again.
"I don't know Rin, why don't you asked Sesshomaru-sama." Sakura returned thinking the young child wouldn't dare ask him that.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin yelled as she walked over to him.
"What is it Rin." Sesshomaru asked as he crossed his arms and looked off into the distance.
"Is the pretty lady your girlfriend?"
Sesshomaru's eyes went wide when Rin asked her question. He looked over at Sakura who was laughing so hard she was holding her stomach. "No Rin, she is not my girlfriend." He paused for a second to look at Sakura who had stopped laughing the second she heard him say no. "She is my mate."
"NANI!" Sakura yelled as she ran over to him.
Sesshomaru's turn to laugh he let out a deep throated chuckle. "Come Sakura, we have much to discuss with the others and Inuyasha has yet to hear of our situation."
"That is true it will be hard for him to find out that I'm not his sister." Sakura said as she hugged Rin and stood up to walk beside Sesshomaru.
"Should we wait to tell him the truth until after we talk with my Grandfather." Sakura said as she walked inside.
"That might be best. I will leave him in charge and Jaken will stay to help him and take care of Rin." Sesshomaru said as they made their way to the Dinning room.
As the two walked in they were greeted by Inuyasha and his group.
"Ane, where have you been?" Inuyasha asked as he walked up and hugged Sakura.
Sakura's eyes started to tear slightly but she held them in as she returned the hug to Inuyasha. "Sesshomaru and I have some business to attend to in the Northern Lands." She said to him as she pulled out of his hug.
"And little brother I leave you in charge. Jaken will be around if you require him." Sesshomaru said as he stepped behind Sakura.
"Why am I in charge?" Inuyasha asked confused.
"Because you're my brother and I need someone who is capable of giving orders and offer protection." Sesshomaru stated as he turned to leave. "I will be outside. Inuyasha you better take care of my castle."
"Don't worry I will be fine." Inuyasha said.
"I'm sorry that I must be going, I would love to take the time to get to know you all. When I get back I hope we can use that time to get acquainted." Sakura said as she hugged Inuyasha one more time and ran out the door. "Ja ne!"
Sakura ran through the castle until she was outside and next to Sesshomaru. "I'm ready now." She said to him.
"Good." He said to her as he wrapped his arms around her and took to the sky. "It won't take that long to get there."
Ok well that is Chapter 5. It is going to take a few more Chapters and yes Naraku will be back in the next chapter. There will be a lemon but it will not be for a few more chapters. However there will more then likely be some fluff.
Thanks for Reading,
