For the next couple of days Sesshoumaru would watch from a distance as she practiced. The only thing he did was watch, never getting to close, but close enough to where Kayva knew that he was there. She never said anything, never let on that she knew he was there, she just let him watch. She had no idea why he would watch, but she did know that it made her feel wanted.
One night when Kayva was practicing she noticed that Sesshoumaru was walking closer to her then he normally did. Within seconds, he was in her view of sight. They stared at each other, and before Kayva could even react, Sesshoumaru drew his sword and lunged at her. Kayva dodged the deadly blow, what the hell is he doing? Kayva had no idea what was going on. She dodged blow after blow, not defending herself just trying to get away from his blows.
"Why do you not defend yourself?" Sesshoumaru asked lounging at Kayva.
"Is this all a game to you is it not?" Kayva blocked his sword and throw him back against the near by tree.
"I have been watching you for the past couple of days; I want to experience your strength for myself." Sesshoumaru said standing away from the tree that he was thrown against.
"Then I will show you what I can really do." Kayva said with a slight smile on her face. She then lounged at Sesshoumaru making him dodge her blow. They fought like this for an hour, twisting and turning. Sesshoumaru now knew why all the fighting he saw her do looked like skilled dancing, she was truly dancing. Everything part of her was amazing, every muscle moved in the way she wanted it to move.
Sesshoumaru had no idea what was going on. The only thing he could was react. He had never been in a situation like this before, he had always been the one to come out victorious, but he had no idea what was going to happen.
Kayva fought with Sesshoumaru, knowing that they both were giving it their all. She looked at Sesshoumaru, looked into his eyes, looking at the passion that she could feel that was dripping off him. Blue eyes locked onto gold eyes, and passion flowed between the two beings. Both Kayva and Sesshoumaru stood toe to toe with their swords pressed together. What happened next seemed like the most natural thing to do. Without warning Sesshoumaru pushed Kayva into the tree that was behind her, knocking their swords to the ground. Kayva was surprised at what had just happened, she did not know what had gotten into Sesshoumaru, he did not seem like the kind of person that did those kind of things.
Sesshoumaru looked into Kayva's eyes, pinning her to the tree behind her, he smelled her erotic scent, wanting to take her at that moment. He felt Kayva shiver, as he smelled her neck, then without warning he came up and meet her lips to his own. Kayva wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru, wrapping her delicate fingers around his silky silver hair.
Sesshoumaru cupped Kayva's face pulling her closer to him, making their kiss more passionate, making their body's touch, becoming one.
Before both of them knew it a scent that both of them had smelled before came with the wind. Within seconds, a large baboon came into view. Sesshoumaru stood in front of Kayva, as if he was trying to protect her.
"Naraku," Sesshoumaru said with malice in his voice. So this is Naraku, the person that we are meant to kill. Kayva thought to herself
"Sesshoumaru, it's good to see that you have fallen for this woman. That means that even the emotionless Sesshoumaru has something in his heart." Naraku laughed as he looked at Sesshoumaru try and the woman behind him. "This must be Kayva, the woman that will kill me." Naraku looked at Kayva, she truly was beautiful, and there seemed to be nothing that was wrong with her. To Naraku Sesshoumaru was the perfect male youkai, and it seemed that this woman was the perfect female youkai. At that moment, Naraku knew that he wanted that woman, which he was going to make her his mate, weather she liked it or not, she was going to be his.
"What are you doing here?" Sesshoumaru said looking at Naraku.
"I am here to see the woman that will be mine." Naraku laughed as he saw the shocked looks of both Kayva and Sesshoumaru. He always liked making people feel like there was nothing they could do. Making them feel completely helpless.
"What makes you think that you can have me?" Kayva said shaking both men out of their starring contest.
Naraku looked at the woman in front of him, she truly was beautiful, and he could sense the power she had. She was more powerful then what Kagura had said. Naraku knew that he had to do something, something that would slow her down. "I will be back for you my love." Naraku said, then disappearing without another word.
Kayva watched at the baboon disappeared she then looked at Sesshoumaru. He turned on his heel without another word, not even looking at Kayva. Kayva could feel his anger, his disappointment. She was not sure if he was disappointed in the fact that he let his guard down enough to show emotion, or that Naraku threatened something that he was learning to care for.
Kayva watched as he walked way without another word. Was it something that I did or say, or is it Naraku that is making him run from me? She watched him walk into the darkness, into nothing, wanting nothing more then to feel him touch her again, hold her like he did, but there was nothing.
Sesshoumaru walked away from the one thing that he knew he wanted more then anything. You are the first woman that makes me feel like this, but you are a liability to me right now. I cannot have such feelings for you right now.
Sesshoumaru walked into his room, he had no idea what he had done. He hoped that he had not done something completely wrong with her Kayva, he really did want to be with her, and there was nothing more in the world that he wanted more. Looking at the moon Sesshoumaru saw the beauty that it had. The moon was always strong, but always alone. Sesshoumaru did not want to be alone anymore, he wanted to be with someone, share his life with someone, and he wanted it to be Kayva.
At that same moment outside on the grounds of the palace, Kayva looked up to the sky. She too was thinking that she wanted to share her life with someone that she did not want to be alone, but she knew that no one would want her if anyone really knew what her life was about when she was a slave. She wanted to give herself to Sesshoumaru, but she knew that he would never take her as his mate; she was not what he wanted standing next to him controlling the Western lands with him.
Kayva looked at the moon, the loneness of it, and the sadness of being alone. One tear fell down her left cheek before she turned around and went to her room.
