Hello everyone. It has been a while hasn't it. Sorry about the long wait… I hope to get at least 2 chapters up this week. I hope. Again, I apologize.

Blood Lust Born

Electricity cracked on the air. Alia's Black eyes narrowed at Naraku who was sweating beads. Her red hair was slowly changing into a stark white. She stepped closer to him, and Naraku stood. He stepped closer to her just a foot from her skin. He reached out to touch the cheek he had struck.

"You will not touch me half demon." She said coldly. Naraku quirked an eyebrow.

"I am not 'Half Demon', wench." He said angrily. He touched her check but found it burned. He yelled and took his hand away immediately but it had fallen to ash.

"You are a half demon. This body you have is not your own. You stole it from other demons. It's nothing more than artificial." Her face betrayed nothing. She didn't even seem fazed by her own coldness. "And for the deaths of those undeserving, you shall pay with your own meaningless existence." She closed her eyes, breathed deeply, and charged at him, sending crashing from his own castle. She opened them and walked out of the hole and smiled.

"ALIA!" Sesshomaru shouted as he neared the site. Alia faltered hearing his voice. Her eyes flickered to those beautiful blue depths but as Naraku stood, they flashed back to black. She snarled at him in anger as she neared. Naraku lunged for her, knocking her back. She stood quick again and flew at him. She now had claws, glowing black. Naraku could feel the heat even as she neared him and he cringed. He leapt back as Alia leapt forward he claws met a sword he had by his side the whole time. She glared at him.

"You cannot think that weapon would keep me from killing you?" She glowered. This was becoming taxing. She was getting annoyed. She kept attacking with everything she had. The wind wiped her hair around her as it did Naraku's. He pushed her back once more and roots burst from him grabbing her arms and right leg. She struggled and he laughed at her.

"You are strong. I love it! You will make a fine bride servant!" Her eyes glowed more fiercely as she broke free.

"Never!" She Flew at him and grabbed his neck. She grinned malevolently and crushed his wind pipe. He just smiled and she slashed at his chest and flipped over him before he had a chance to defend his back. She slashed down his middle and he turned to dust leaving a wooden doll with a string.

"I might have known. Having your puppet do your dirty work?" she asked mockingly to nothing. It was then demons from all over came crashing down on her.

"ALIA!" Sesshomaru screamed her name. It would have seemed she was crushed if it weren't for a little darkness peeking steadily from the center. She rose out and the demons crumbled to nothing. She wiped her hand and cheek of blood and turned to Sesshomaru. She stared at him.

"I have missed one…" she stepped closer. His eyes were wide a moment as he felt at a lose.

"Alia?" he asked uncertainly.

"Who are you Demon? How do you know me?" she asked. She lunged at him in an instant. Her claws collided with his and their power clashed. She smiled cruelly.

"So long since I've had a challenge." She made for his neck and he blocked.

"Alia, stop." He blocked again. "I love you." He said again, blocking. He threw her back and she skidded across the cold, hard dirt. She got up with slight difficulty and laughed. It was cold but filled with excitement. She licked up the copper taste of blood from her fingers. His blood.

"Love? I do not know you? How can you love one you don't know?" she sprinted at top speed for him, aiming for his heart with her claws. He flew back as she had hit his side in his attempt to block. He got up coughing blood. Her look was crazed, but faltered at the sight blood. She didn't even seem to notice her own wounds dripping, turning the ground crimson. She looked at the blood at Sesshomaru's feet curiously as if trying to determine if it was real.

Her eyes began to glisten as a lone tear fell from her black eyes. She put her fingers to her cheek and wondered why the came wet. She seemed lost.

"What is this? Water from my eyes?" she really did feel lost.

"They are tears. They emerge when you are sad." He stepped closer and she snapped out of it and got into a fighting stance.

"Stay away demon." She snarled. Her glare made him stop as he looked sadly at her.

"Please Alia. I love you." She scoffed at his words. "It's me… Sesshomaru." She looked at him as if she had been slapped.

"S-Sesshomaru?" her eyes flickered to blue and back. She clutched her head.

"Alia?" Sesshomaru was more uncertain.

"NO! Stay back demon." She clutched her head tighter. "I don't know you… I don't! I DON'T!" she shook her head and tears dripped from her cheeks.

Sesshomaru had already gotten about a foot away from her when she screamed. He grabbed her upper arms and forced her close.

"Let me go. Let me go, demon!" she said as she tried to hit him but only could pound on his chest.

"I love you…" He said

"STOP!" She screamed louder as the tears flowed down. "I don't Know-" her words had been cut short. His warm lips were pressed against hers and his arms were around her in a tight embrace. Tears flowed down as she struggled more but slowly the black began to fade. Her white hair faded to red again and her eyes started fading to a light blue. She went limp and Sesshomaru took a better hold of her and broke the kiss.

"Alia?" he asked. Her eyes were now closed and a tear dripped from his eyes. Was she…? No, she couldn't be. She slowly opened her eyes to his relief. Her tear streaked face contorted in a mix of emotions.

"Sesshomaru… I'm so sorry. I-I don't know what… was wrong with me." She buried her face in his warm chest. He held tight to her until he felt her relax. He looked down at her again. She was now sound asleep, her breathing normal and deep. He sighed with relief. He limped slowly back into the forest. Alia needed help and medicine for her wounds.

Inu Yasha had gotten Kagome and Sango. Miroku stayed behind to protect Lady Kayede and the village.

"I hope they are ok. What did Naraku want with Alia?" Kagome asked into Inu Yasha's ear as they neared the castle.

"I'm not sure. But we will find out." He said. He stopped as he looked upon the damage. There was a huge gaping hole on the far side of the castle and half of the other side was just rubble. Kagome jumped off of Inu Yasha and ran to the center.

"Alia! Where are you!" She called in panic. Inu Yasha was lifting up Rubble and tossing it around.

"Inu Yasha… Kagome… she needs your medicine…" Sesshomaru was standing at the forest edge kneeled down in pain. He was holding someone. Kagome sprinted towards them. Alia was bleeding badly on her leg and both arms. Blood stained her fair face. Sesshomaru fell forward and fell into unconsciousness, his head lying gingerly on Alia's stomach, his arm around her protectively.

I hope this was a good chapter. ; R&R I would appreciate it. And sorry this chapter is so short. O My mind is starting to block.
