o-aki-hoshi- Wow that is a lot of name to write and well I shall easily get tired of writing it out so before we start I shall go by...hmm well I didn't think that you would read this far so it seems that I need to think of a name... uh how about almighty lordess of the darkest abyss... wait that has the same problem... so uh how about just o the little o that means little.

Sessho-maru- You have problems.

o- (-.-) Like your one to talk.

Sessho-maru- Like I would grace that with an answer.

o- Well you just did. Besides your sarcastic rude remarks make me fill warm and fuzzy inside.

Sessho-maru- Hmm well I need to work on that. They should make you feel miserable and all that, that implies. Starts to walk away

o- Wait right there you need to say the line. Or else. Holds whip up.

Sessho-maru- When did you get that and why should it worry me I have my own. Tries to bring out his poison whip; but cant. What is the meaning of this woman.

o- You are in my space, so logically I control your powers. Hahahaha

Sessho-maru- That is not logical at all.

o- Your point...

Sessho-maru- That you were wrong.

o- Uh I told you that it is my space so what I say goes. So it does make sense and since I don't want to wait all day just say the line.

Sessho-maru- Fine. o-aki-hoshi does not own Inu-Yasha...thank the gods. Just think of what she would do. Shudders

o- Thank you. Ok well before I got side tracked I was going to say have you, the readers, ever wondered about what Sessho-maru does while not fighting Inu-Yasha or Naraku. This story is about that. Now with out further ado here is my story about what happens to him.

The Mysterious Woman

Ch.1

"My lord please wait for your faithful servant." Jaken yells while trying to keep up with his lord while leading Ah-Un with Rin on the dragons back. 'Little wrech, I don't see what my lord would want with a child, much less a human child anyway.' He walks into Sessho-maru who had suddenly stopped walking to look up to the sky while Jaken was thinking to himself. "Oh so sorry milord. Thank you for waiting for me.

"Jaken, continue with Rin to the castle as planned." With that he flew up into the sky away from them.

"EHHHH!" Jaken screams at this sudden development.

"Jaken, I am hungry, can we continue to the castle?" Rin says from the back of Ah-Un.

Elsewhere- By this I mean with Sessho-maru . -

'Hmm just as I thought those vultures demons are too numerous to be after some animal corpse. There was a battle, the smell of blood is a day old so either someone is barely alive or the invading army is still there.' Sessho-maru landed inside the forest where it broke out to the plain started so that he could view the clearing without being seen by anyone, if anyone, was around.

In the distance he saw the remains of a castle. 'I was correct it was his castle.' On the ground around him were bodies of the deceased demons. 'From the looks of it the battle was fierce.' The victorious army did not stay. So then why did the vulture demons not land... that smell!' Immediately recognizing the smell of new blood he went towards it. The fresh metallic smell leading him to a pile of dead demons.

Sessho-maru began shifting the dead bodies aside in search for the demon whose blood still flowed. 'Someone is still alive to tell me what happened to Damien's castle and his family... I wonder how this warrior can still live, from the smell the wounds are numerous and the blood loss deadly, not to mention the weight to all these demon corpses.'

"Ahhhh... unh..." A feint voice came to the dog demons ears, so feint that even Sessho-maru barely heard it.

Sessho-maru renews his efforts with vigor, trying to save the warrior. He threw the last two demons unceremoniously to the side to reveal a semi-conscious undeniably female wolf demon with long dark blue hair. 'What in the seven hells?' In her hands was a glaive stained with her enemies blood, she was wearing armor that was a little to big for her and she was covered with numerous wounds.

"Nhh..." She moaned at the sudden lack of pressure, and her wounds started to bleed a little more. The sudden noise from her snapped Sessho-maru from his shock.

'She needs to have her wounds cleaned and the rest of her as well. Sweat and grim are not becoming.' He sniffed the air and then picked her up. 'This should be the way to the hot spring that he told me of so very long ago.'

Once arriving at the above mentioned hot spring he laid the unconscious girl down and proceeded to remove her clothes; so that he could wash her wounds clean and the grim off of her body. 'She is muddy, bloody and has gotten grim all over me. It looks like I shall have to bathe as well.' When he finished taking the armor and rags off of her he took his armor and clothes off as well. Then he immersed himself in the water, turned and picked her up and then lowered her into the water. With one hand supporting her in the water he used his other hand to clean her wounds and the rest of her as well. Once he was finished cleaning her, he set her in a shallow part of the hot spring and then went back to the deeper parts to wash the grim of him.

'Mmmm, this is warm and... wait I am in water.' She tried to turn over and felt immense pain. She gritted her teeth to keep the pain from releasing itself in a scream. Slowly she opened her eyes and found to her amazement that there was a naked dog demon near her but luckily enough he was not facing her. Steeling herself she moved her hand to reach for her dagger when she did not feel any clothes on her body she let out lengthy and loud scream. 'Damn that was stupid of me. Stupid female instincts!'

Sessho-maru turned towards her once he heard her scream. 'She woke earlier than I would have thought.' He walked over to her, with surprising elegance, through the water; he looked into startling silver eyes that portrayed no expression whatsoever. 'HIS EYES.' Sessho-maru's mind screamed at him; but all he did was say "You're alive after all, eh?" Then he turned back around to finish cleaning his body.

'What the hell? He took off my clothes, put me in a hot spring and tended my wounds and all he has to say is 'You're alive after all, eh?' wait... he tended my wounds?' She checked all the places where she remembered getting injured and sure enough her wounds were partially healed. "Why would he heal me only half way? I know that, by his aura, he could have healed me all the way." She whispered not realizing that she had spoken out loud and that he had heard her.

"Would you have been happy if I had healed you all the way? Especially without your permission, huh wolf?" He asked with a smirk on his face as he finished cleaning his body then he turned towards her still smirking.

"Hell no!" She yells then adds "oh..."

'My gods she is gorgeous when angry, and that it is dark and the water is up to my waist.' A/N INSINUATION! He watched the water gently lap at her body, she was still lying on her back, she was still to weak and in way to much pain to move; but her head was facing him. 'Her eyes look as though they can see right into my heart.'

"Well... where are my clothes?" She asked in a demanding tone, exasperated with him for just staring at her, and she being naked and all.

Once again he smirked at her. "Those rags that you call clothes, will never be wore by you again." He said then jumped out of the water to where his clothes were. While she tried to get up to find her clothes but was unsuccessful.

She looked over at him despite the pain turning her head brought to her. "I. Want. My. Clothes." He ignored her and started to dress in his kimonos putting all of them on except for one of his inner kimonos. Then he put on his armor before he turned to walk back to her."To weak get up, huh?" He bends over and then lifts her effortlessly and then leans her against a tree, so that her bare back was facing him.

"Wh.. What are you going to do..." She asks her voice trembling, while her breaths coming in harsh ragged gasps.

"What does it look like I am going to do?" He asks while looking at her, then seeming to realize that she was in a compromising position. 'Idiot woman.' "I am going to dress you, wolf." She sighed in somewhat relief and then stiffened when he touched the kimono to her body, as if she expected him to go against what he said. He pulled her to him which made her gasp in pain and apprehension. "I told you, that I am going to dress you, besides do you really think that I would dress myself and then try to take you. Wolf I am not an idiot." Then he finished dressing her by tying the kimono closed.

"What about now? Since you are finished with that what will you do with me now?" She asked in a nervous tone that did not match the challenge in her eyes.

'She is very light.' He pulled her closer to him and then moved his head down to her ear and whispered. "Now we will go to my castle, you need to sleep." She desperately tried to resist the lull that was in his voice but it was so soothing that it gently pulled her to sleeps hold. She slumped further into his awaiting arms. 'She is so lithe and warm.' He smirked at her sleeping form and then flew up into the sky towards his castle. 'I wonder if she is related to him.'

Back at the castle

"Rin you need to go to sleep. Lord Sessho-maru told me to watch you and you need to sleep." An angry and exhausted Jaken yelled at the little Rin who was running around the dinning room of her Lords castle.

"The Lord is back, the Lord is back master Jaken." A servant told Jaken as she hurried on by. "Oh also master Jaken he has a guest with him..." She said over her shoulder as she hurried on down the corridor.

"My Lord is back, I am saved!" Jaken hurries down the hall that the servant had just came through. He reaches the end of the hall and is about to open the door when it is shoved open and slams Jaken into the wall.

Sessho-maru enters the dinning room and spots Rin, still running around. "Rin, go to bed." Rin immediately stops running around and yessir's Sessho-maru then runs down the corridor that the woman servant went down a little earlier.

"Jaken!" He says while still holding the female wolf close. He sees Jaken run to his side, "go make sure that the room next to mine is ready and make sure that Rin is sleeping."

"Yes my lord." Jaken ran ahead to do his lords bidding and Sessho-maru followed him slowly.

'What happened to him, I wonder...' he looked down at the unconscious girl in his arms, 'and what mysteries surround this girl.'

o- So how did you all like it?

Sessho-maru- Why do you ask you wrote it, shouldn't you know whether it was good? Idiot woman.

o- I do not need to explain my reasons to you... but I will seeing as you are so very cute, I like to know how other people like my fanfic.

Sessho-maru- Freak, and I am not cute I am a fearsome demon lord and all cower in fear of me.

o- Well I am your freak and in being such I would not be scared of you so there. Runs over and glomps him.

Sessho-maru- too stunned to speak

o- See you all later Still glomping Sessho-maru. Oh and please review or I cannot promise that you would be safe from him...
