She was but a child when all of those horrible things occurred and they still haunted her very essence he wanted to take it away but why? He could not say.

Later that week they had collected a grant total of 13 shards since Vanessa arrived

"I sense something, something strong" said Vanessa looking over her shoulder to the left

"Where?" asked Inuyasha jumping down from his tree

"It's far, but it real strong I think it may be that Naruku guy or something" she said in serious thought

"How far?" ask Kagome

"About… 3 days maybe 4 but I sense something else too not as strong but… It's heading in our direction and fast

"It's… Kouga" said Kagome as she senses the two jewel shards coming there way

"Who?" said Vanessa

"It's koura the wolf demon and inuyasha's other rival he…ow" said shippo as he got interrupted by a bump on the head then a swirling tunnel of wind mad it was to kagome

"So mutt face been treating you good?" he asked while handing Kagome a flower

"Oh I see, this could get interesting" said Vanessa

"What do ya mean if I been treatin' her good" called Inuyasha not liking how close they were at all

"Trust me it will" said Sango

"Yeah" replied Miroku

"Well mutt face I first off all I wasn't talkin to you second it looks like he hasn't gotten you in any danger so" said koura

"Men!" declared Vanessa with a huff causing them to look at her

"Yeah what of it" said Inuyasha

"If I answer that you will not be pleased with the results so continue with your senseless bickering, but your both acting stupid and wasting time" said Vanessa bluntly

"Damn wimpy wolf always got to come at a bad time" said inuyasha mostly to himself

"What do you mean?" asked koura

"Tell you what I'll met you there" said Vanessa

"That's not the wisest decision" said Miroku

"Well fine I won't kill him, yet I'll just look at his defenses and stuff nothing to worry about be back in like 8 hours tops" she said leaning on the tree inuyasha had recently jumped out of

"I don't think that's such a good idea" said sango

"What's the worst that can happen, if I die I die big deal." she said again

At this Point everyone was giving her a weird look

"You won't understand so I'll be on my way" she said then took flight before anyone else could say something

"So who is she anyways?" asked koura interrupting the silence

"Um a friend" replied Kagome quickly snapping out of her daze

"Oh" said koura 'she doesn't smell like a demon, but what mortal has the ability to take flight' he thought

with Vanessa

2 hours after she left

"What's that smell it's fucking horrible" she said covering her mouth and nose by pulling her shirt over them

"There it is better land over there" she said again

"Yup that's definitely it." she said to herself

"Look at the size of that barrier. That's one killer freak we got here. Looks like there's no one guarding except for that little girl, man she's creepy." she said while shivering slightly.

Just then she noticed and approaching figure but it was noticed to late for the figure was already behind her

"So, we have a visitor do we?" asked kagura

"Um, no just leaving as a matter a fact" said Vanessa coolly while trying to pass her from the left

"Naruku doesn't take kindly to spies" said kagura again

"That's nice now if you let me go you can continue searching for one" said Vanessa smartly

"Funny aren't you?" said kagura

"If you say so" she said

"Well your coming with me." said kagura

"Am I? That's news to me I thought I was going back to camp." said Vanessa sarcastically

"cute." said kagura making a face

"I do try" said Vanessa twirling a strand of her hair for an added effect

"Now you are to coming with me alive or dead" said kagura

"Well giving my two options I suppose I'll go with alive. So where exactly are we going?" asked Vanessa

"To naraku's leer he'll decide what to do with you and believe me it won't be pretty" she

Said with an evil smile

"Can't say that I expected it to be that way" said Vanessa

Meanwhile not to far away sesshomaru had witnessed the whole ordeal with much interested the girl was no doubt amusing in her commentary.

Yet he couldn't understand why he had a got felling that something bad was abut to happen

in Nuraku's castle

"Man this guy needs to redecorate. Looks like Dracula went into depression here" said Vanessa

"What?" asked kugura with a confused look on her face

"Um forget it so where's this naraku guy anyways" she asked

"He'll be with you shortly" said kagura

"What ever" said Vanessa in a bored voice.

'Every where you go these days it's always wait, wait, wait. What's wrong with the world today' thought Vanessa

Just then a male figure entered the room and made his presence known by yelling at kagura

"Why do you waste my time with this mortal woman she is of no use to me!" he said

"Okay then that's what I tried to tell her but would she let me leave noooooo" said Vanessa

"Shut up you speak when you're spoken to"

"Then I guess it's okay to speak now cause that was referring to me wasn't it" said Vanessa

"Shut up!" he growled

"Dude, breath mint. They don't hurt they help." she said while going in her pocket to produce one

Kagura chuckled as she saw how easily the girl annoyed Naraku with her abnormal ways

It was then that naraku glared at her and she stopped immediacy

"Talk about evil dictator" mumbled Vanessa

"Woman who the hell are you and what business do you have here" growled naraku

"Well you see I kinda visiting and I was looking around and came across your land and curiosity got the better of me so I decide to take a closer look. That's when she came a long and well here I am" said Vanessa

"Once again kagura I ask you why do you waste my time?" said naruku

There was no answer

"Just kill her so I can go on with my day" said naraku

"Wait you plan to kill me. We I should have known to bad I'm in absolute no mood to die today" said Vanessa quickly moving behind kagura

"hm, not bad mortal." said kagura

"Bad breath and bad manners not a good combination" said Vanessa

"so mortal it's a fight you want" said kagura

"well if I'm going to die it'll be fighting" retorted Vanessa

By then the fight was under way but Vanessa did not fight back she merely dodged all of kugura's attacks

"man who taught you how to fight?" said Vanessa

Causing a growl to erupt from Kagura

Followed by a series of attacks this time Vanessa hit her in the face causing her to fly back several feet

"really my fights not with you so chill will ya" said Vanessa

"you are not mortal, no mortal can move like that but still I sense no demon" said naraku while watching the whole ordeal

"no really" said Vanessa in a sarcastic manner

"who are you" asked naruku

"you worse nightmare. I always wanted to use that line." said Vanessa

"my patients with you wears thin speak or I shall force you too" said Naraku

"wasn't it what 2 minutes ago you were telling me to shut up make up your mind will you" she said while dodging an attack from kagura

"patience I'm getting to you" said Vanessa referring to kagura

"it was then that naraku appeared right in front of her and kissed her square on the mouth causing Vanessa to gag

"oh my goodness that was the grosses thing I every bared witness to let alone done" said Vanessa who was vigorously wiping her mouth

"excuse me I think I'm going to puke" she said again

"foolish mortal that was no mere kiss in about 5 minutes you will be completely under my control and tell me everything I want to know" said Naruku

"well isn't this a predicament" said Vanessa

"isn't it?" replied kagura with a smirk

"I hate it when people hide behind people with power it makes them seem so, so needy" retorted Vanessa

"hm it should be taking effect any minute now" said naruku with an n evil chuckle

"don't worry I hate you too" said Vanessa as if she was making him feel left out

"as a matter of fact I hate you more" she added

It was just then that sesshomaru came in causing every one to look at him

"what the hell?" said Vanessa as her head started to hurt slightly

"naraku" said sesshomaru with his hand on the hilt of his sword

"sesshomaru" said naraku with a smirk

"kagura and Vanessa "said Vanessa motioning to kagura and her self

"now that a we're all aquatinted time for me to get the hell out of here "said Vanessa

"so says you" retorted naraku grabbing her hand roughly and putting the other around her throat

"um yeah" she said then elbowed him in the stomach and emitted a ki blast that pierced through his right arm as she took off for the door

When she got through the door she started to feel dizzy and knew she had to get out of there before the found her so she took flight getting over the forest in about 30 second she feel out of the sky after going in to unconsciousness and landed next to a cliff

back at naraku's

Sesshomaru fought naraku landing sever blows to him abdomen and right arm that was already injured it didn't take long for naraku to flee but sesshomaru to suffered some damage mostly to his abdomen

Kagura had long ago made her departure knowing not to get involved after all if any one could defeat naraku it was him of inuyasha.

Sesshomaru left the castle toward the forest wondering where Vanessa fled to not knowing of the kiss only that she might be in father danger after kagura took off

'damn why do I even care if she dies she should have been so stupid. Inuyasha must really be rubbing off on people' he thought to him self

'she either really brave or really stupid and then again it could be both' he though as he made his way into the forest

About 20 minutes later he came across the scent of blood not just any blood but her blood

He followed the scent vigorously wondering why and how he cared about a girl he barely even knew but never the less he'd find her

Another 10minutes passed before he found her by the edge of the cliff

She was so closed to the edge that any false move would cause her to fall

"damn" he cursed wondering how he'd get to her with out causing her to fall

He swiftly moved to her and pulled her from the edge noting her groggy movement

'she alive' he thought

She woke up to find herself in a warm bed with bandages around her head and arm

And pain in her ribs and arms as she tried to move

"you should try to move yet" said sesshomaru who had just entered the room

"um" she moaned slightly

"who…who are you?" she asked

"I am lord sesshomaru lord of this castle and the western lands" he said plainly

"who am I, I … I can't remember. How did I get this way?" she asked again quote confused

'she doesn't remember anything. What should I tell her?' thought sesshomaru

"get some rest I'll answer your questions later" he said leaving a cup of water by her bed

And then leaving the room

So what to happen next guys (please review oh please)
