Daiisshou: Megami

"What...?" Ayana opened her eyes long after she had closed them. Just taking a deep breath in caused her to wince. Her body was screaming at her as she forced herself upward to her knees. Where was she? The city was no longer surrounding her and she felt as if someone had dropped her in a food processed. Holding her head she could feel something wet. "I'm bleeding..." Lowering her hand she frowned, blood. What had happen to the bus? The people? Her bags? "My shoes..." Sniffling she took a small moment to morn the lost bag of footwear. Sucking in a deep breath she stood, taking in her new surroundings. The woods, it was dark out, too. "Where's that bus! I paid fare you know!" Her shouts died out as she heard something behind her. Giving a squeal she turned to see a small girl. "Hi...who are you?" Ayana opened her mouth but the greeting died in her throat as a small monster followed the girl out of the brush. "Oh, God..." She let out a small moan watching the world in front of her die into darkness as the world she knew had. But, just as she fell to the ground a pair of cold, golden eyes appeared in above her. An angel of death...

Sliding her eyes open again she found herself in a large room and in a very comfortable bed. A small candle held the only light in the room, beside her sat the small girl who she'd seen earlier. The girl's brown eyes widened as did a smile on her face. "You're awake! I'm so happy! Master Jaken said you would die!" "J-jaken...where?...who are you?" "I'm Rin! Who are you? Why are you dressed so odd? Why is your hair that color? Are you a demon?" "Excuse me?...what?...I-I'm Ayana Blake. My clothes...well, I guess I'm not the stylish but still..." Suddenly she took in that the little girl was wearing a kimono maybe she was in a temple. "You are a demon then?" "Huh? No...no! I'm not a demon. I'm a human." "Oh no, no. No human looks like you...I wish my hair was that color..." Ayana felt incredibly self conscience at the little girl's starring. Was blond hair really that odd? "You have pretty eyes...they look like the color of the sky." "Well...eh, thanks?" "Master Jaken said that you are dangerous...but I begged Lord Sesshomaru to let me keep you." "Keep me?" "Oh yes! Will you be my friend?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa...back up the bus. Where the heck am I?" "Japan, of course." "Duh...Gees, Ayana, you dolt. So how can I get back to the bus station?" "Bus? What is that?" "You...you don't know." "Rin! Step away from the demon!" The small green monster came in, scaring Ayana out of the bed. "Stay back! I'll...I'll," glancing around she found a lone candle stick, "I'll kill you!" "LORD SESSHOMARU!"Ayana braced herself feeling something near the room, clutching her lifeline of a candle tightly. Her eyes widened at the sight of him. He was tall, lanky and pale. Long white blue locks fell straight down his back, markings graced both sides of his face and his eyes were pure gold. "You..." He glared at her sorely making her shiver. "Stay away from me...I don't want trouble. I just want a bus...please." Nearing her the man seem to tower over her like the buildings had. Dropping to her knees she covered her head. "Lord Sesshomaru, no! She's my friend!" Raising her head Ayana looked up to see the man, just watching her-he wasn't going to harm her. "I...I..." Why wouldn't words form? Think, Ayana. "...thank you." She nodded her head to the man who seemed to show a small amount of surprise. Ayana forced herself to stand, using the wall to support her. The trio watched her closely. "Um, well, I'm feeling much better...so I think I'll just...go..." Making quick work for the door she practically ran. But just as she got to the door frame she bumped into something hard. Swallowing hard she looked up slowly. There he was, the angel of death, a breath away. "I want to go." "No." "But, I'm fine..." She started to push him aside but he grabbed her-tightly. "I said no." "I said yes." The monster and Rin both gasped as Ayana jerked away from him. "I'll not be pushed around. I thanked you for saving me. Period. Now let me go." Their eyes locked harshly. "Megami..." "What?" "Lord Sesshomaru!" "Don't let her leave..." It was barely audiable but Ayana hissed at the words. "I'll not be kept prisioner!" Starting after him Ayana was suddenly drug backward. "Heeey, he..." "Lord Sesshomaru, said to stay..." "But..." Ayana looked down at the little girl and sighed, her friend.

"Here I made you some food!" Ayana groaned and covered her head with her pillow, food? She felt like she was going to throw up her airplane food and anything else she eaten in her life time. "Miss Ayana?" "Nooo...please, don't, Rin." "Miss Ayana, what's wrong? Are you ok?" Rin pulled the pillow from the girl's head and gave a small gasp. "You don't look well..." Letting out a moan Ayana looked up at the girl, were there two of them? "I'm getting Lord Sesshomaru." She stretched out a hand from the bed as Rin left. "No...he...oh god..." Curling into a ball Ayana felt her world spin. "I want off...stop..." Looking around she felt hands picking at her, scraping her. "No...stop..." Opening her eyes she found him over her. "Hold still..." "Make it stop..." Tears fell from her eyes, slipping down her cheeks. She watched him through the tears raise his sword, and then him bringing it down on her. Bracing herself, she let out a small cry. But, there was no pain, the prickling had stopped, and there he was above her still. "I want...I want to go home..." She flung herself at him clinging tightly, crying, and just trying to get warm. Nuzzling her face into his robes she wanted to just be swallowed by them. To just disappear...He pushed her away from him, starring down at her. Those eyes held hurt, suffering, and surprise. "Lie down...sleep." Holding her arms he moved her back to the bed, letting her lie back down. "I don't...I'm not tired..." "You will be..." As she rested below the blankets, he started to pull from her but she clung to his hand. "Stay...I'm...scared..." Lifting his chin he narrowed his eyes, but lowered himself next to the bed. Ayana smiled, turning so she could watch him. If she was going to dream, she might as well enjoy it...

"Lord Sesshomaru, are you..." Rin stopped her words as she came into the room and found her lord and her friend holding hands. He glanced her way and she smiled, maybe there was hope for her lord. "Lord Sesshomaru, will she be ok?" Glancing down at the woman in his bed he sighed, "Yes." Damn it, he didn't want to be caught anywhere the girl-she was trouble. He tried to stand from the bed but the woman had a death grip on his hand. "Lord Sesshomaru, can we keep her? Please?" "She doesn't belong here." "She looks like an angel..." "She's not." He bit the words out, causing Rin to jump a little. "Lord Sesshomaru, what is she?" "Dangerous. Don't get attached, I'm taking her back as soon as possible." "Back?" "That girl...that travels with Inuyasha." "Kagome! We're going to go see Kagome? Why?" "She has the answers to this...I'm sure of it." "Yay! We're going to go see Kagome!" Rin danced happily around the room but as she did so, Ayana's blue eyes opened. As she looked around at her surroundings tears sprung up again. "No..." "Miss Ayana, are you feeling better?" Looking at the girl, Ayana tightened her grip on the demon's hand. "Why am I still here?" "We're going to go see Kagome!" She dropped Sesshomaru's hand sitting up quickly, to stare at him. "I want to go home." "You are." "What?" Rin stopped her dancing, to look at the two. "But..." "That's why we're going to see Kagome." "I want her to stay!" "Stop. She doesn't belong here." The little girl snapped her mouth shut, but continued pouting. "I'm going home? Really?" He nodded to her, sharply. Then his gold eyes looked over her coldly. "Get dressed, we leave soon." Her gasp was unmistakable as he left the room. "Rin...is he always..." "Lord Sesshomaru is very sad. Master Jaken says "he bares a horrible past." Rin wiggled her arms creepily then grinned. "But...he's never let me down." Ayana's mouth pursed in thought then she shook her head. "Can I wear something to go see this Kagome? I feel...very dirty." "Sure!"

"Are you ready, woman?" "Yeah, yeah..." Snarling, she forced on the slipper like shoes Rin had given her. Stepping out of the bed room she found Sesshomaru glaring down at her-did he ever show anything else? Sesshomaru turned from her, Megami taunted him. She looked the like the statue he'd once seen; with her dressed in one of his robes and her hair flailing everywhere. Groaning inwardly turned back. "Let us go." Ayana followed his gaze to a horse like creature. "On that?" He looked her way glared and grabbed her by the waist, carrying her at his side. "Put me down!" "Quiet." Hissing Sessomaru dumped her very unlady like on top of the creature. "Me too, Lord Sesshomaru!" Ayana watched the man soften as he lifted the child on to the monster with her. Why did he hate her? Grumbling, Ayana crossed her arms and looked the other direction as the creature started into motion. Of course he hates you, Ayana, you've been nothing but whining and weepy the whole time. He could've been a little nicer...but...

"Do you smell something? I smell something." Sesshomaru glanced back at Ayana who was smiffing the air, then gagged. "Ew...that's not pleasant." "You sense something?" Just as soon as he asked it he sensed it, too. She...before...Sesshomaru stopped, looking to his left, narrowing his eyes. There slinking from the forest was a massive serpent that seemed to take on an almost humanistic form. "Good God..." Sesshomaru moved forward, slowly. "Don't!" The second she yelled it, Ayana regretted it. She'd caught Sesshomaru's attention and the monster lunged at the chance, knocking him across the forest floor. Swallowing Ayana cursed herself. "Damnit...now what are you going to do?" As soon as the creature started towards her and Rin, Ayana gave way to a new feeling. "Rin, stay here." "Where are you..." "Stay." Jumping from the transportation Ayana stood in front of the giant that nearly doubled her size. Just as the monster swung at her she could feel a white power take her over, cooling her blood, and calming her. The claw that was to hit her disinagrated in the light, the rest of the demon's body followed close behind. He evaporated into the air and as the light faded something popped up from the ground. There where the monster had stood a tiny yellow flower grew. Ayana's body went to a small glow then dimmed. "Miss Ayana!" She could hear Rin's voice but she couldn't look at her. Ayana's world swarmed as it whooshed by in front of her. She jerk to a stop and the spinning ceased. Forcing herself to turn her head she found Sesshomaru over her, holding her up. His eyes were wide showing fear and curiosity; like that of a child's. Lifting a hand she touched a small cut just above his brow. "You're hurt...I let you..." She felt his arms tighten around her lightly, then he lifted her the rest of the up. "I'm fine..." "Miss Ayana, are you ok?" Ayana forced a smile as Sesshomaru set her on the monster, then continued forward. The woman would be the death of herself...if she was able to.
