Excel: Oh wow. I stopped typing this for a while. I am ashamed now… ;;;
Tah-tah: You should be ashamed. Look. All your reviewers left you.
La-la: Not true. We haven't left her.
Wolfy: We are critics….not reviewers.
Excel: Lets just get on with the story okay?
Disclaimer: I don't any of the Inuyasha, Rouroni Kenshin characters. Shaoran belongs to Shaniahia. The rest of them are based on real people.
Julin awoke to a dark room with nothing but moonlight shining through the window. Staring out the side she looked at the twilight satin called the night. "What happened…?" she asked herself. She sat up only to immediately fall back down from the pain in her back. Growling she sat up again anyway.
"Testing your physical bounds even after you just escaped with your life? Tsk tsk dearest." Came the male voice she heard from the forest. She looked around only to find a darkened corner to stare back into those hypnotizing blue eyes.
" Why are you here?" she asked going into her defensive mode. The blue eyes twinkled at her in mirth.
"Am I not allowed to look over you while you are unconscious?" he asked teasingly. She glared at him and said nothing. He chuckled and she heard him get up from his seat and walk in front of the bed. They're eyes met and she stared into those endless blue depths that seemed to draw her in from her soul out.
"Um… should I be worried about you being here?" she asked barely able to speak from the intensity of his stare. His eyes held her captive she was almost sure he wasn't speaking.
"I doubt you should worry to much about me my lovely. Killing fair young maidens such as yourself would be a dastardly deed." He said smoothly. She shivered involuntarily from the richness in his voice. Shaoran, Sesshomaru, and this guy should have a sexy voice contest. Girls would be a puddle at their feet. 'Not like they don't already do so.' She thought ruefully and she felt pressure being applied to the bed as he placed a knee on the bed.
Snapping her head up to look at him she was about to be able to see his face had it not been for the clouds that had covered the moon at that very moment. Looking around blindly she stopped when she felt a gloved hand hold her face forward and lips brushing against her ear. "I shall be watching over you Lovely. Do not tell anyone of this." He whispered huskily and she blinked at this odd demand. But before she could ask the pressure was gone and when she looked around blindly for him.
"That…was odd." She said to herself then moving the sheets off of herself sliding out the bed and leaving the room. Once out she was met with Cerulean colored eyes and a beautiful mane of golden hair.
"The princess has awakened." Said Shaoran. She smiled and swatted at his tail since it was messing with her.
"Hey Shao-Chan. Can I ask what happened?" she said as his cat-like grin increased.
"You just did my dear. But I must ask, do you not remember anything of what happened?" he said rubbing her head checking her for any re-opened injuries and or nausea.
"I remember something but I don't remember a thing on how I got here." She said barely listening to him while he checked her. 'Did he not hear anything that happened?' she thought to herself. He continued to check her ribs while she held her shirt up. 'Apparently not.' She finished her thought.
"You're lucky you're not in a coma or worse." He said clucking his tongue at her wounds.
"Yes Daddy…" she teased as he chuckled.
"As much as I appreciate the new nickname we must get the others in here. They may want to start interrogating you." He said when she visible sagged.
"Can't you just tell them I'm dead? I don't want to get questions I can't answer." She whined. He ruffled her hair.
"I won't be so dramatic but I will tell them to give you till tomorrow so you may rest alright?" he said while she hugged him even though her ribs screamed in protest.
She whimpered softly, barely even heard, but to Shaoran who was right next to it, it might as well have been a scream of bloody murder. He stared at her and he easily lifted her into his arms.
"What are you doing?" she asked reflexively wrapping her arms around his next.
"Taking you to Kikyo." He said while he could hear her growl.
"I'd die first." She growled. He sighed and walked towards the door. Wrapping his tail around the doorknob he pushed the door opened.
"Well I will at least take you back to your room. I doubt it would be appropriate to have a lady, such as yourself, in Inuyasha's room all by your lonesome." He said turning to the left to go towards her rooms.
"I hate feeling like an invalid." She said grumbling. He chuckled and tapped her nose with his tail, which served to keep her from whining as she started to play with his tail.
"Neko. What are you doing here with the girl?" came a smooth dark velvety voice of Sesshomaru. Shaoran rolled his eyes slightly as he turned around.
"To protect her maiden's honor from the horrors that is Inuyasha." He said glaring at the dog who, seemed to be nothing short of bored.
"Then take her to her room and leave." He said as Shaoran glare intensified to that, that could rival Sesshomaru own cold stare.
"As a matter of fact I don't care to leave her with you either." He snarled and turned the doorknob going into their dorm. Using his nose to lead him to her room he laid her down on her bed taking in her room that seemed to be filled with different things. From stuffed animals to gothic sheets on her bed made him realize how rare this girl was. (Seriously. A gothic, with pink bunnies, and stuff, its cute!)
"Hey Shao-Chan?" she said opting for her new nickname for him. He smiled and turned to her.
"Yes?" he said kneeling next to her bed. She smiled and took his hand.
"Thanks for taking care of me while I was in bed." She said and he smiled even wider.
"It was a pleasure. Now get some sleep okay?" he said kissing her hand. She smiled as he left out the room. Closing the door behind him.
(An: Sniffles I thought it would have been nice to have a more then friend basis between Shao-Chan and Julin. Cute no?)
Sesshomaru walked in later sitting in a chair across from her. She stared at him and he stared back. They stayed like this till she decided to break the silence.
"You want to know what happened?" she said arranging her covers around her so she could be a bit warmer. Not that his cold gaze was helping any.
" I could care less how it happened. I want to know why you are still alive after you've gotten blasted to hell and back." He said bluntly till she glared at him.
"I'm known to be resilient when it comes to life-threatening situations." She said lowly. 'I would love to see your fluffy self try to take on a angry Seto.' She thought ruefully of her past life. (Yes, we will be making references to Akasha's and Julin's past lives since it is crucial to their future.)
"That doesn't answer my question." Stated Sesshomaru. She glared at him again.
"It does. You're just not getting the answer you want. If you want to know about some life or death struggle you've got it mixed up. I don't remember what happened at all." She snarled leaning back against her pillows gently so not to jar her broken ribs.
"Does it hurt?" he said in the same tone.
"What the hell are you talking about?" she said trying to take in as little air as possible.
"Your ribs. Your breathing seemed shallow even when you were obviously calm." He said. She turned to look at him.
"Like hell if you must know." She said softly closing her eyes. She heard him getting up from the chair and he walked over to her.
"Get well soon." He mumbled and when she opened her eyes he was gone. She stared at her door thinking on how Sesshomaru actually said, "Get well soon. That had to be the most unheard of thing known to Japan! No! To mankind! 'If he was actually a man'.
"Thanks Sesshomaru." She said softly thinking on what just happened. Sleeping into it she failed to notice the bright blue eyes that stared at her through her window.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Sayuri looked at Seto who seemed to be deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" she said changing into her favorite blue PJ's with blue bunny slippers. He looked at her.
"That new girl. She seemed so familiar…I just can't place where." He said running his fingers through his hair.
"Which one? Akasha?" said Sayuri. Seto nodded.
"Her too. But the other one, that Julin girl. Why the heck does she keep bothering me!" he said before lying out on his bed. She laid next to him as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Maybe you knew her before?" she said. He shook his head.
"That's what I thought. But she seems like that Clarissa girl but the only problem is that Clarissa was kidnapped and she has black hair and amethyst eyes last time I saw her. Julin has black hair laced with gold and green eyes. They look like different twins. Strange really." He said as Sayuri began to piece together this new tidbit of information. 'Now that I think about it…they do look a lot alike.' She thought. Her thoughts continued until she felt Seto's lips on hers then all train of thought she had was thrown out the window.
(AN: Time for fluff and other stuff! Mwhahahahaha!)
"Seto…" Sayuri whimpered as he rolled onto of her trailing his lips down her neck. She shivered when he began to suckle on the spot and she started to wrap her arms around him. Then he bit her and she almost punched him in the back.
"Relax." He ordered gently. She was about to argue until he began to lick the spot he just bit. She arched her back against him a strangled moan leaving her lips. He chuckled and massaged the spot with his tongue causing another man to shoot through her throat.
'Who knew pain could feel so good.' She thought to herself. Seto hands started to move down her body her leg rising to wrap around his waist. All of a sudden…
"RING!" screamed the phone. Sayuri glared at the offending device but the phone didn't stop Seto at all. As a matter of fact they continued to let the phone ring hoping that whoever it was would get the point.
'No such luck.' Thought Sayuri after the 30th ring even as Seto has caressed her through her shirt. She reached for the phone but Seto hand stopped her as he bit down again on the spot his mouth was currently occupying. She sucked in a breath her small hand clenching in the air as he gently brought her hand down. He nipped at the spot till her breathing was shallow and her eyes fluttered closed.
RING! The phone was not going to be ignored and Sayuri couldn't help but pick up the phone feeling that she was this close to killing whoever was this desperate for conversation. "H-hello?" She said.
"Say? Its me." Came the gruff voice and she almost growled. Inuyasha of course.
"I'm kinda busy right now, can you make this quick?" she said her breathing shallow for Seto didn't deem it important to stop biting on her neck while she was on the phone.
"I was just wondering if you would like to go out to a movie or…something." he said sounding almost shy. She almost felt for him…. almost.
"Look like I said. I'm a bit busy right now. I'll take a rain-check on that alright?" she said as Seto licked the spot and she hung up.
"Next time, you are going to unplug the phone." Seto growled against her neck and she couldn't help but agree."
Julin just couldn't understand it. Was it shear dumb luck that she survived or was it the guy who came to her rescue? She didn't have a freaking clue. For some reason however, her mind kept going back to her childhood when she saw a gigantic white dog bursting out what looked like a well house. She fashioned her black jean jacket after it.
To be honest she looked like a video game character when she put it on. Like, the girl version of Leon from Kingdom hearts. She would wear the little number when the time called for it. 'Now I'm one track-minded.' She thought ruefully getting to her feet. Her ribs were still a bit shaky but she wasn't feeling staying home all day. She still wanted to go see the sword that was being made.
Easily sliding into some jeans and a loose T-shirt she slid her feet into her sneakers and walked out the door Anastasia following behind her. They walked out the main building to see Kouga walking up to them. She smiled and waved.
"Hi there Kouga." She said cheerfully. Quickly he looked over her worry crossing his features.
"Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" he said looking over her shoulder as if expecting someone to be behind her.
"Yeah, but I was getting bored and I don't want to bother Sesshomaru, so I'm going to a forge to go see a guy about a sword I ordered. I wanna see him work on it." She said shuffling her feet. Kouga smirked.
"So you are into swords then huh? Well because those mangy mutts can't seem to watch over you properly I'll take you over there. Just, mind Miroku, okay? He's sitting in my car." He said walking towards the house. Julin nodded and Anastasia followed her to the car seeing Miroku in the front passenger seat seemingly to be sleeping. Julin cooed.
"You know Ana? Miroku is not bad looking. He's actually really cute. If you get past his lecherous ways." she said looking down at the dog before realizing that Miroku had a cup in his hand that was very close to dropping and she carefully leaned over to put it into the cup holder.
Grope, grope, squeeze, rub, rub, and pat, pat, SLAP! "You pervert!" she screamed growling at him.
"Ms. Julin, I am offended that you would accuse me of such a heinous like act.
I was merely brushing off some hair from your behind." He said. Julin rolled her eyes and got into the back seat of the all black Sebring convertible, Anastasia barked at Miroku ten climbed into the bar resting her head on Julin's lap.
Kouga came back holding something in his hand and he tossed it to her. "I was told to give you this. In the brotherhood we all have partners. Yours is Sesshomaru of course since you live with him." He said then sniffed, "Prince Dog-turd wouldn't make anyone a good partner." He said hopping into the car. Julin giggled and put the Nextel phone on a clip on her pants.
"Thanks Kouga." She said smiling at him. His only reply was a 'heh' and they were off.
Akasha couldn't believe her eyes. Chocolate. Mountains of it. Oodles of it! All for her sweet tooth to munch on. "Kenshin? Have I told you how much I love you?" she whispered. Kenshin chuckled.
"No you didn't. But actions speak louder then words so go on and eat chocolate, in the name of love." He laughed as she squealed like a kid again and rushed over to the counter starting to make her own chocolate.
AN: (Places like this one are actually real people this is not a dream!)
Kenshin watched her race around the factory his mouth watering himself and he picked up a couple milk duds and popped one into his mouth watching her sculpt a sort of bird using chocolate. He had admit, it looked tasty but she made it look so pretty he wasn't sure if he wanted to eat it. Then he saw the caramel being used and he almost drooled on his shirt.
Watching as she brought the bird over to him she smiled." Its an eagle! Wanna help me eat him?" she said. Kenshin nodded as she went to go get the Eagle wrapped up while they feasted on all the other candies the place had to offer.
When they left out with the Eagle named "Baldwin." They felt full beyond all measure, and hyper to boot. Getting into the car they started laughing for no apparent reason while Kenshin started the car and they went cruising until the crescent moon came up.
Stopping at a forested area Kenshin parked on a cliff as they watched the city light up. "Oooh. Pretty." Said Akasha staring below her at the sea of lights. Kenshin nodded and started at the city. He didn't even remember the last time he came up here to see this. But just the same he loved the view and the company he was with made it enjoyable.
"Hey Kenshin? Do you think we are friends? Are at least cool with each other?" sha sjed him. He turned so his head was on the steering wheel to looking at her.
"I like to think so, it seems like we had some fun times together and we're roomies so…yah. Friends sounds good to me." He said and she smiled at him the lights shining off her face. Kenshin smiled back and they both looked over the horizon seeing the world in its beauty.
