Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha


Chapter seven: intimate good byes

The next day was a strange one indeed. The two girls walked in front ofSesshomaru and Jake apparently caught up in deep conversation. Lily, all though kept looking back at the handsome lord. Sesshomaru wouldn't have noticed though because even against his proud stature he was memorized by the sway of Lily's hips. Neither would admit it but even in the short time they had been together they had found feelings for each other. Sesshomaru shook his head, peeling his eyes away from the entertainment of the girl's hips.

He was quite confused."I'm a demon; I cannot lower myself to this human. That would make me as bad as my father whose love for humans ruined mine and my mother's lives. He brought that half-breed to us with a proud smile. How dare he make my mother feel that way? Yes it was all because of humans that I was given that despicable Inuyasha for a half brother. "Sesshomaru looked in front of him, this time with hate in his eyes." I must rid my self of the human that intends to take my heart and soon for--" He was suddenly interrupted by a small hand holding on to his own.

He looked down and saw Rin giving him a toothy grin. He felt all his anger melts away at the young child's innocent grin and warmth spreading throughout his hand.

The he thought of something. "Wait I have already allowed a human to take my heart, Rin, how could I have allowed this? Still there is something that holds me back. Yes, I cannot give up Rin. So what is the difference with Lily? Could it be she has already taken a hold on me?" Sesshomaru sighed in defeat to his thoughts and feelings. "Lily can stay as long as she wants. I will not stop her."

Ah-Uns grunts and a small voice behind him brought him out of his thoughts once more." Lord Sesshomaru may I talk to you alone?" Lily asked.

Sesshomaru nodded shortly and told Rin to stay with Jaken. Surprisingly he listened. Lily pulled Sesshomaru into a secluded clearing and began to talk all the while staring at the ground. "It's time I take my leave, I have things to do and while I am here with you I just want to settle down but, I must do something before I do that. It's best I leave as soon as possible." She told him hurriedly.

Sesshomaru watched her with interest. and soon her words sunk in. He did not want her to leave but, as he stared at her retreating back he realized that she truly needed to go. Without thinking it over he called out to Lily who was now completely shrouded with shadow. As she turned around the only thing he could see was the slight violet of her eyes. "Yes Sesshomaru?" She asked. Sesshomaru turned away from her and started walking in the opposite direction.

"You are welcome to stay with us one more night please do us the favor and stay." He said emotionlessly. Lily smiled and took his offer and began walking with him to the other two.When they got back to the group Sesshomaru realized that it was past dark and Rin was falling asleep.

He quickly found a campsite and they all settled down for the night. Jaken had built a fire and the two girls had pulled themselves closer in order to protect themselves from the chilling night air. Sesshomaru watched Lily though half closed lids, through the fire. He loved the way the flames danced upon her delicate white face. Suddenly he stood up gracefully from his spot and walked over to her. He bent his face down close to hers and his ears picked up irregular breathing. "She's having a nightmare." He thought to himself.

He smirked gently and picked her up bridal style. He, in one swish, brought her to her favorite spot in the forest, the spot where she first suggested that they travel together. He laid her down in the soft grass and sat back against a rock. As soon as he had laid her down on the grass her nightmare seemed to cease. Instead she shot up and tears flowed freely down her features. "Sesshomaru help" She yelled. Startled by her yelling he was at her side in 2 seconds flat. "What!" He asked her sharply.

Lily started whimpering and muttering incoherent sentences. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and figured she was still asleep. "I NEED INUYASHA"S BLOOD!" she screamed suddenly. Sesshomaru looked at her with one raised eyebrow. After a few moments of mere whimpering, Lily seemed to calm down.

Sesshomaru decided he had enough strangeness for one day picked up Lily and carried her back to the campsite. He set her down on her bed and was about to leave when Lily's hand shot out and grabbed his shirt. He eyes shot open to reveal exact replicas of Naraku's. Her hand shot out so fast that even Sesshomaru did not see it coming. He felt pain in his arm and he fell back numb to the core. Right as he passed out he saw Lily holding a needle up with a small bottle of his own blood. "Damn human." He thought right before his conscience dived into total darkness...
