Chapter 2

Sesshoumaru had been walking around through his gardens. It was raining and he had lost track of time, as he became lost in his thoughts. Things were becoming more difficult for him. His brother, Inuyasha, was becoming more powerful and rumors had spread to him that he could transform to full demon.

If only his father had given him the Tetsaiga. None of this would have happened if he held the sword with the power of destruction. Instead he was stuck with a worthless scrap of steel.

Suddenly, his mind shot back into the present. A person had appeared out of thin air. What was the scent? 'Stupid rain.' He thought. 'It's messing with my senses.'

He continued walking when he found a young woman. Before she blacked out he found himself staring into emerald green eyes. He looked at her and found that her hair had some silver strands in it. There was a dim crescent moon appearing on her forehead and also demon stripes were appearing on her cheeks and hands. She was turning into a demon.

"Feh. Why should I help her?" He found himself asking.

Because you have already fallen in love with her. He heard a voice say.

'How could I fall in love with her? I don't even know her name.' He argued with himself.

You have already forgotten? Don't you recognize the scent? The voice asked. You found the same scent from someone else. Or have you forgotten Teikoku?

"Tei?" He wondered out loud. Then the scent of lilies and vanilla drifted to his nose. Could this be Tei? 'No.' He told himself. 'She died. She died a long time ago.'

He stood there in the rain assuring himself that she wasn't Tei. But no matter how many times he said it the thought would still drift back into his mind.

'I can't leave her out here.' He thought picking her up. He carried her through a row of sakura trees. 'I carried Tei exactly like this… in the same weather… and down the same exact path.' What was he saying? Why did this have to come to him now? He didn't need more to worry about.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" Seeshoumaru heard when he walked into the entrance hall of his very large home. He looked down to see Rin staring up at him. "Who is that you are carrying?" She asked.

"I'm not sure." Sesshoumaru answered. "But I feel that she must be tended to."

Rin gave the woman a sharp poke in the head. When she didn't react she said, "Rin believes so too. She isn't moving."

"I want you to get Myra and tell her that her new patient is in the water room." Sesshoumaru told her turning around. Before she ran too far he added, "And how many times must I tell you not to refer to yourself in third person?"

"Gomen, Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin said scampering off in the opposite direction of Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru stopped when he reached a large door. It had carvings of lilies and lotus flowers etched into its surface. He opened the door to an absolutely gorgeous room. There was a bed and armchair on a large stone in the middle of the room. Why a stone? Because the whole room was one very large pond that had stepping stones that connected all of the large rocks that held all of the bedroom furniture. Koi swam peacefully around the lilies and lotuses that floated along the surface of the water.

Sesshoumaru placed the girl on the bad, sat down in the chair, and waited for Myra. Within minutes she came rushing into the room. She had long white hair and blue eyes that was accustomed to her kind of demon. She wasn't very old for a demon, but she did know much about the arts of healing.

"This her?" She asked leaning over the unconscious girl.

"Yes." Sesshoumaru answered.

"How'd she get like this?" She asked taking the girl's pulse.

"I don't know. I found her like that." Sesshoumaru retorted.

"That's odd…" Myra said as she looked the girl over. "No visible injuries…" She grabbed the girl's wrist to check for a hearbeat. "… Regular pulse." Sesshoumaru watched as the girl was looked over and was startled when Myra burst out yelling, "She's turning into a demon!"

"What?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

"She's turning into a demon. No wonder she's in this state. I can't imagine that it would be good on the body." She turned around to face Sesshoumaru. "She should be fine. Just give her a couple hours rest and she'll be awake and ready for any and all questions you might have for her." She bowed and left closing the door silently behind her.

'Yeah, I have a question.' He thought staring down at the girl. 'Who are you, and how did you get here?'
