Chapter Two
Her eyes opened slowly and she was looking at a clear blue sky with a few clouds barely in sight. Nazomi wondered where she was… She didn't say a word she was silent. Did she hear voices? She looked around and then sighed and shut her eyes. Moments later she heard a little girls voice saying something.
"Lord Sesshoumaru? What's that on the ground…?" Rin looked up at Sesshoumaru with her brown eyes and then tugged at his Yukata gently. She wanted to know. All she saw was black hair. Rin walked over to the body on the ground and then kneeled down next to it. "It's a young lady Lord Sesshoumaru!" she stated in a happy tone. "I don't know if she's alive though… You should bring her back Lord Sesshoumaru." Rin walked back over to Sesshoumaru and waited for his answer.
Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin and then told her to wait with Jaken. Jaken of course was bickering about something but Sesshoumaru was too intent on the woman on the ground. He kneeled down next to her and then could hear her breathing. His golden eyes and his silver hair shimmered in the sun light as he looked down at the young girl. He moved the long raven black hair out of her face and saw a pale complexion. His eyes widened. Was she sick? No… from what he could see she was the same color. Her head moved and if she opened her eyes she would be looking in his direction. Who was this young woman? And why did he feel a sort of attraction to her? Sesshoumaru lifted her head lightly and then her eyes slowly opened.
Nazomi looked at this man slowly. His eyes were a golden yellow, he had strange markings on his face but it seemed to bring out his skin tone which was darker then her own. She lifted up her hand and her fingers gently touched the silver locks on this mans head. Her crystal eyes widened slightly when she saw he was wearing a Yukata. "Hmm…" she mumbled as she looked at this man. If what she heard the young girl say… his name was Sesshoumaru. Why did she feel tears well up in her eyes? Nazomi placed her hand on her our still red cheek. She remembered now… Her mother had slapped her… she ran to Kagome's, something weird had happened, and now she was in the middle of a forest. It made no sense to her. All that really made sense was this handsome man kneeling next to her and looking down at her. The tears in her eyes began to flow out and she could see the confusion on the man's face. Nazomi threw her arms around this man. She had no idea who he was but she was crying on his shoulder and he was letting her? Wait… Nazomi was confused but it was okay because she was just letting all of her tears out.
Sesshoumaru looked down at the woman who was crying on his shoulder. His only arm was already wrapped around her not purposely, but because she shot up so fast he had to brace himself some way so he wouldn't fall on her. He heard Jaken saying something that she wasn't from this world. He shot a glare over at Jaken. His mouth hadn't moved since he kneeled down next to this woman. He could smell demon blood? That was all he could smell as a matter of fact. But she was a human girl… at least that was what he thought she was. His golden eyes looked at her head as he listened to her cry. "Stop your crying…" he said in a low tone. His voice was without emotion. Suddenly there were no crying noises coming from the girl that he had his arm wrapped around. Sesshoumaru looked at her raven black hair and then she looked up at him. Her blue eyes were that of crystal clear water. There was an odd silence in the air as the two made eye contact. There was something that drew Sesshoumaru towards this woman. But was it just her scent? He was unsure. He watched her wipe her own tears away. He caught the scent again… it was coming from her. But how could it be? She was only a human. Well she looked it. "Are you a demon?" his voice was low and emotionless.
Nazomi's eyes widened. What was he talking about? She looked at the dirt on the ground and then made a circle in the dirt with her index finger. "I… don't know…W-what… I am… I'm probably just a fool…" she said in a quiet and timid tone. She felt his eyes looking at her. She wondered what he was thinking about her. Maybe that she was a fool? Possibly… but at that point she really could care less. Her cheek hurt, her legs hurt, and most of all her heart. Her heart hurt the most because of what her mother and father did to her continuously. Nazomi was a good person. She helped anyone who needed it, always did well in school, and did what her parents told her to do. But then again all her parents would do was tell her how to dress and act. They would also have her do all the house work. Nazomi never went anywhere except Kagome's place and school. Her blue eyes looked back up at the man and then she leaned on his shoulder again. This time there were no tears leaving her eyes. She wanted to know who this man was but what if he was someone evil. Wait…. Evil? Where did that come from? Her raven black hair fell into her face. She moved a few strands from her face and then looked up at the man. His yellow eyes pierced her blue eyes. "Uh…." She looked at the ground and then sighed. Nazomi finally got the strength to stand up. She pulled herself away from the man with the silver hair and stood up slowly. She looked down at him and then gave a timid smile. Maybe this man could help her… just maybe…..
