Chapter One: Midnight meetings
"Grr" Sesshomaru growled slightly for he was trying to sleep but sleep wouldn't come easily. He stood up hoping a walk would tire him out. He walked away from the camp leaving a peaceful rin and a snoring jaken.
He walked along the stream bed thinking about nothing important for there was nothing to think
about.
Suddenly he caught a whiff of something, blood, female's blood. He followed the scent not really concerned but out of sheer boredom.
What he came upon was a battle and when he looked around he saw that it was what an unevenly matched one seemed.
Close to twenty demons were attacking a single woman and yet save for a slight cut on her cheek the demons were the unlucky ones.
Many demons lay slaughtered and forgotten on the ground while with one swing of the maiden's sword the few that were left died. Obviously exhausted from the battle the young woman sat on the nearest rock, breathless but happy it seemed to Sesshomaru that
battle and death were bliss to this strange girl.
Sesshomaru began to walk away even though his instincts told him to find out who the girl was.
Suddenly he heard the girl speak, "you can come out now I can sense you"
Sesshomaru turned and began to walk towards the girl." I watched your battle, how was it that a young girl like you was able to kill all those demons?"
The woman smirked at him and replied in an easy going tone"
girl like me needs to know how to protect herself am I right?" As much as he didn't want to admit it he kinda liked this spunky girl. He finally looked at her then.
She was about 5'7 with blonde hair and violet eyes. She wore a purple robe that was see through at her belly.
She had many ear piercings and wore her hair in a high pony tail with chopsticks holding it up.
Sesshomaru continued to stare until the girl spoke up. " Um dude my face is up here" she said laughing." who are you anyway" sesshomaru asked
"My name is Sada Lily and my past is my own you don't need to know anymore" Startled by her sudden rudeness, nodded very slightly.
"And what is your name "lily asked a little offended by his lack of Information.
"I am Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands."
The girl stood up and said "nice to meet you but I have places to go and people to see so see ya"
She walked by Sesshomaru only to be stopped " If you ever need a shelter come find me ok" Both startled by his graciousness, started to walk in opposite directions. leaving sesshomaru to walk back to camp alone, quite happy that he would be able to rest and thinking about the odd girl and her shortness with him.
