Kijustsu no Senyo
Author's Note- Just to let you know, I'm getting really busy and I'm not sure if I can keep up with my fanfiction. You might have noticed I haven't been updating that much lately. So, to make the updates come just a little faster, I will only be updating two stories regularly. Kijustsu no Senyo and The Third Family. I might update the other ones every once in a while, but not very often. -.- Sorry.
And I like your thinking Dragon Man 180. :)
Lausanne was in a bad mood. The sun had gone down almost three hours ago and they were still traveling. Sesshoumaru had ignored her feudal attempts to let the group stop and find lunch saying that they had already had food once that day. It didn't help that Lausanne was extremely hungry.
"Can we stop now?" she asked Sesshoumaru for the third time that hour.
Sesshoumaru, who had been walking in front of the group, stopped, but did not look back. "Are you that tired that you must annoy me so often?" he asked.
"Maybe I am." Lausanne retorted.
"Ride your horse."
"I already am."
Sesshoumaru turned to look at her, pure annoyance in his eyes. "Then there is no reason for you to be tired." he told her, "We will continue untill I see fit."
"No, we are going to stop right now!" Lausanne snapped.
Sesshoumaru's expression went from one of annoyance, to slight surprise, and right into anger. "And who are you to tell me what to do?" he asked, his voice deadly calm.
"Well right now I am someone very hungry, and tired who wants to spend the rest of the night resting!" she said heatidly.
"What you are feeling now does not effect me."
Lausanne was at the end of her rope now. "How can you say that!" the elf demanded, "Is it really that much to ask for a place to stop and sleep for the rest of the night when I feel as if I am going to collapse! If you really do not care then you are the most heartless, evil demon in the world!"
Sesshoumaru watched Lausanne yell at him with a pure passion. It had been a long time since someone spoke to him in such a tone. In fact, he doubted anyone had. Not even his father. But Lausanne's ranting was not without a reason. Sesshoumaru could feel the stress, and exaustion radiating off of her. For once in his long life the taiyoukai felt a feeling he could not push away: Guilt. It was he who was making this elf, this girl, suffer. He had forced her to travel him by threats and a bribe he was yet to give to her. But there was also his pride to think about.
Sesshoumaru looked away. "There is something I would like to check out on my own ahead." he told Lausanne, "Stay here. I do not know when I will return.
Knowing that she had won, Lausanne smiled as Sesshoumaru left her with Rin and Jaken. She dismounted and tied Mooneclipse to a tree. The elf then sat down against another tree, closing her eyes.
She heard the pad of footsteps coming closer and then a thump of someone sitting down in front of her. Guessing it was Rin, Lausanne opened her eyes.
"Please don't be made at Lord Sesshoumaru." the little girl said, "He's really nice. He saved my life and took me in and protects me!"
Lausanne could help but smile. "Is that so?" she asked.
Rin nodded.
The elf looked around where they had stopped. With clouds blocking the moon, it was so dark that she could barely see anything. That was saying something because Lausanne had learned at an early age that elves eye sight that had an ability right between that of demons and humans. Thinking about this, she wondered how Rin could see where she was going.
Lausanne closed her eyes again. When she opened them a small orb of light, the same as the moon, was glowing in her hands.
"That's so pretty!" Rin exclaimed.
"Yes." Lausanne agreed nodding. She whispered a small incantation and there was two orbs. Lausanne handed one to Rin, standing up. She pulled the basket she had made that morning out of her saddle bags and started to walk away from the rest of the group.
"Where are you going!" Jaken demanded.
"To collect food." came the reply.
Rin ran up to Lausanne, holding her orb. "You're very nice Lausanne-san," she said, "but Rin don't need anymore food today."
"Yes you do." Lausanne said, shining her light on the ground for roots or mushrooms, "You should eat at least twice a day. How often do you eat now?"
The girl shrugged. "Every other day or so." she replied, "Because Sesshoumaru-sama took Rin in, Rin tries not to bother him with my hunger that often."
"Well from now on, I will bother him for you, how does that sound?" Lausanne asked.
Rin laughed. "Good!" she replied.
Lausanne turned to Jaken. "Rin and I are going to look for some food. We will be back in a half an hour or so. Please make a fire for us."
Jaken glared after the two girls. Why was Sesshoumaru's new curiosity ordering him around now? Even stranger, why was Sesshoumaru letting her live even though she defied him so often? With these thoughts, Jaken began to collect branches for a fire.
Sesshoumaru
strode through the forest paths growling. Ever since he had first seen
Lausanne something had just been different about her than other
females. She had attempted to stop his fight between him and Inuyasha
and succeeded. Then even after he had attacked her, she had not
attacked back, even offering Rin food.Sesshoumaru's thoughts went back to when he had tried to murder her.
Sesshoumaru
raised Tokijin swinging it towards Lausanne. There was a blinding
flash of green light. When it cleared, Lausanne was glaring at
Sesshoumaru. Tokijin was stuck in the ground a few yards away from him.
"I told you I could defend myself so there was no use attacking." she
said. The elf girl sat down next to the fire as if nothing had happened.
The taiyoukai growled. There was something about Lausanne's
actions. Yes. That's what is was. That was how she was different from
other females. A second memory popped into his head:
"I do not fight people unless I must." Lausanne explained calmly, "I do
not need to fight Sesshoumaru, therefore, I am not doing it."
Sesshoumaru
frowned and stopped his wild rampage. He turned to a tree and slashed
it with his poison claws just to let out some stress. The tree
thundered to the ground and the taiyoukai sighed. Turning around, he
decided he had vented enough for one day. Besides, he had left his
possessions with only Jaken to guard them. He doubted their safty.
Lausanne
placed a few mushrooms in the basket while listening to Rin's happy
chatter. The girl was telling her of all the amazing adventures she had
gone on with Sesshoumaru. The elf had to admit the stories were very
interesting to listen to. Parts were so strange that Lausanne had
thoughts that they weren't real, but she also had an idea of the fact
that Rin didn't lie.
Suddenly there was a crash from somewhere far in the forest. "What was that!" Rin asked nevously.
"I do not know." Lausanne replied, looking around for anything that
could harm them. She saw nothing. "Let us get back to Jaken, what do you
say? I think we have gathered enough food."
"Okay." Rin said nevously, "Maybe Sesshoumaru-sama will be back by then."
"Maybe." Lausanne agreed.
When Sesshoumaru
returned to camp, Rin, Jaken, and Lausanne roasting mushrooms over a
fire. "Hello Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said happily, "Look what
Lausanne-san found for us! They're really good!"
"Would you like some
Sesshoumaru-sama?" Lausanne asked, offering him a mushroom she had been
cooking.
He shook his head. "I do not eat food that is fit for human consumtion."
The elf shrugged and took a bite out of the mushroom.
"You do not know what you are missing." she told him.
Just then something occured to Sesshoumaru. "You said you were tired and wanted to rest..." he said, trailing off.
"Yes." Lausanne agreed, "What of it?"
"If you are so tired then why did you go to find food?" the tai youkai asked.
"Because food is just as important as rest." she replied.
"Well get your rest now." Sesshoumaru said, "We leave before sun up."
"Whatever you say Sesshoumaru." Lausanne answered nodding. He gave her a stern look. "Sama."
Inuyasha: Stupid Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru: And who is calling me stupid, little brother?
Inuyasha: I am!
Sesshoumaru: Is that so?
Inuyasha: Yes it is!
Sesshoumaru: But why? You are the stupid one.
Inuyasha: I ain't! You are!"
Sesshoumaru: Are you sure about that?
Inuyasha: 100 percent!
Kagome: They fight about the stupidest things, don't they?
Clear Waters: Couldn't agree with you more. -.- R and R everyone!
