Chapter Eleven

Surprise Surprise

I left that human alone for one minute, and she has already attracted unwanted company. How can humans be so naive, and stupid?

I raced forward at the stranger, grabbing its neck, and efficiently slamming it into the tree. A small yelp came to my ears as though in recognition of well it seemed to be a her! Did she come to hurt Rin? What other reason would she come towards her?

She opened one eye as she watched me in slight surprise! I knew those eyes! Those steel eyes that now glared up at me. Who is it? It looks a lot like the wench that always followed InuYasha around, but wasn't she gone? Didn't she die somewhere in a dungeon?

Did she dare to glare at this Sesshomaru? It must be her...what was her name? I am almost positive it was Kagome. She was the only one stupid enough to not fear me! Even my pathetic half brother's fear laced the air around him whenever I was near, but hers never did! She had fear, but not of me more of the well beings of her friends. This creature always did intrigue me with her boldness!

"Lord Sesshomaru please let her go," Rin cried as she tugged at my arm.

"Rin go find Jaken," I ordered she only nodded as reluctantly she ran off.

"I never expected you to have a human girl companion I guess a lot has changed since I've been gone,"she managed to choke out as she grabbed onto my arm her power burning it. I tossed her to the ground as I looked at the burning flesh on my arm. She still had those miko powers apparently.

"It is none of your buisness who my companions are,"I replied as I glared at the woman. She got to her feet glaring defiantly at me!

"I was not asking merely noting you are beginning to have quite the temper Lord Sesshomaru it is unbecoming of you,"she replied with a smirk. That wench dares to speak without permission? Rushing forward before she could dodge I pinned her to the ground my nails already filling with its deadly poison.

"You will show respect wench!" I stated as she glared up at me once again.

"I was showing you respect, but you are showing me none so I shall do the same!" I stuck my claws into her arms as she struggled from my hold. She spit on me! That ignorant wench spit on me! I wiped my cheek with the back of my hand. Brave little bitch wasn't she! Or extremely stupid, I would say the last one!

She leapt up from under me, and stepped back. Her arms in attack position. Her eyes challenged me. She greatly underestimates me! I launched forward, but she quickly dodged each attack as she smiled. She acted almost as if she was testing me! That nerve of the fool. Taking it up another notch my blows came faster, and swifter. Still she dodged each one her smile only widening. Finally one attack hit as she slide to the ground laughing. Why on earth would she be laughing?

She pulled herself slowly as she watched me. Rolling her shoulder were I had struck she stopped her laughing. "You have gotten better I see,"she replied as she turned her back to me! A clear act of disrespect was not acceptable. I ran forward my claws were about to reach their destination before she dodged.

"You should never underestimate me Sesshomaru,"was what she said as flexed her claws. She attacked me. Her claws making contact with the my armor as it crumbled to the ground. I growled as I looked down at the armor as it fell to my feet. Foolish one isn't she! I caught her arm before she could take another swipe.

"How did you free yourself from Naraku's clutches?" I asked. I had heard of her disappearance from that half breed. He told me that she was taken by Naraku, and I had not heard anything else for about ten years, and now she is back!

"Broke free,"was her only reply. Well she seemed to usually have a big mouth about everything...must have hit a sore spot!

"What happened to Naraku?" I asked. I had heard from Jaken that Naraku was dead. Yet again, Jaken was an idiot, and I do not trust anything he says! Except for the unworthy servant with that I will agree with him!

"Took his life as payment for my imprisonment!"

She was different now anger burned in her aura as she growled. Resentment was clear in her voice. I was slightly shocked! I had never though of this woman as a fighter most of the time she just healed her friends, and only fought when necessary. Also, Naraku was a powerful opponent! It would not be that easy to beat him! Then it hit me all most all the times they ever fought it was usually that disgraceful half brother of mine, and her never just her!

I still do now quite understand why she had ever even stayed with that hanyou! He was hot tempered, and a loud mouth! I had a small amount of respect for her even I could not stand to be even in smelling distances of my brother! I still remember when I found her after my brothers stupidity finally had reached its limit. He had betrayed her for that clay wench that betrayed him fifty years ago.

The smell of her tears was somewhat discomforting! Maybe it was because the only other person I saw was Jaken...and that was more or less pathetic...more! Sorrow swarmed her aura as she clung to the tree for dear life. The rain dripped from the leaves, and underneath her was covered with mud. Her hair was sprawled around her as her nails dug into the bark. The sound of her choked sobs were ever worse then the smell of her tears. The smell of my idiotic half brother, and that clay pot filled the air! I knew she could smell it too. For people to cry was a sure sign of weakness! She was allowing her emotions to control her actions.

She was the first demoness that wore her emotions on her sleeves! It was annoying at first knowing that she was a defect in the demon blood! She was a powerful demon, but with emotions twirled into that made her weak! A demon that doesn't fight is absurd! I wanted her dead!

I came towards her with that thought, but she turned her head ever so slightly as she looked directly into my eyes. Her tear stained face was washed with the rain as gave a look of defeat. I was surprise to say that my demon blood didn't want her to be ripped to shreds! Usually anyone who had that look was brought to death by his claws males or females anyone that challenged him, and lost! She wanted me to bring her death. She closed her eyes awaiting the blow of the my hand. When she opened the she looked in a state of shock at my out stretched hand. Taking it suspiciously she allowed me to pull her up. A single act of kindness that I showed brought my ultimate disgust. I was helping her! The enemy what in the hell was I thinking? A question I have been asking myself ever since.

She was a interesting specimen! Indeed! I was brought out of my thoughts as her angered scent once again filtered into my system.

"You or that half breed?"

"Just me! What is that surprising to you?"

((Dang I am running out of disclaimers! Its hard to be in Sesshomaru's head! Everything is always thought about before his actions are made, but I do show emotions in this because I am in his head just because he doesn't show his emotions doesn't mean he doesn't think them! Amazingly everyone I do not usually cuss! I rarely do, but my story is full of them isn't that amazing! I always try to think of what they would say so usually each character has his or hers range of cussing. Kagome's is small InuYasha is very big I think he will use most likely all the words in the book! Sesshomaru just has a few words, and some other characters say none! I know I am most likely boring all of you with this little think on the bottom, but yet again, its my story so you have to put up with it! Well till next chapter!))
