I updated yay. Well go on and read.

Even as they led the group it felt somewhat right for them to be together like this side by side. He could tell she was nervous. Who wouldn't be, thrown into a world not your own? It was like looking at everything from a new perspective.

He wouldn't know, for her had been a demon since the day he was born. He took pity for her problem. Still unaware at to her intentions for Inuyasha he was sure when she had told him her reasoning's there were things left unsaid and he still had so many unanswered questions.

He looked to the female on his right. She was determined not to look at him. Well at least not for too long.

Every time he looked at her his mind was thrusted back upon the first encounter he had had with her since her new form. The way she had disobeyed him at every corner. It did though make him angry in some ways.

He would settle this now. "Girl." She didn't answer. She still had the audacity to disrespect him. Well he knew she was listening because he sensed her anger spike so he continued. "While you are accompanying me and mine you will keep yourself in total respect to this Sesshomaru. I will not tolerate disobedience and I do not need you to teach Rin such stuff." His eyes flickered darkly. "I do not want a repeat of the other day."

He smirked, this had her attention. "What happened the other day?" She said faintly as if she could care less.

"I will not tolerate the way you behaved the day I first met you as this."

"Oh that day. Thanks for the tip fluffy."

"And you will not wear anything that remotely resembles the clothing you used to wear."

"Whatever you say fluffy." She hadn't meant to say it. Oh she was in for it now.

He was burning with anger and she knew it. He was sure with every time she defied him she was laughing to herself.

He decided to see just how much she could do. He dropped his cloud dramatically without warning, landing gracefully while they fell from the sky. Everyone followed suit. It would be another way to rid himself of pent up frustrations that seemed to follow this particular female.

When everyone landed he spoke. "We will sleep here for tonight." There were no objections not that he expected any and he knew he was in control. He then turned to the girl. "Come." Then started to walk away. She stood dumbfounded as to why he would want her to follow him. She looked around to her friends and they showed equal confusion. Gathering what was left of her quickly fraying patience she followed. They walked for what seemed like and hour but was only ten minutes until he stopped in a clearing not too far from camp but far enough so as not to be heard.

"What are we doing?" She questioned.

"Silence." She closed her mouth from an on-stream of questions. He smirked. "We will fight."

She was careful to register her shock before asking, "Why?"

"To see what my brother is up against."

She began to walk a circle around the clearing before nodding.

Without warning he drew his sword and lunged for her. A sword of her own appeared out of seemingly nowhere to counter his strike. He was surprised the least. He had forgotten about her powers.

This would prove to be interesting.

"What do you think Sesshomaru and Kagome are doing?"

"I don't know Shippo I really don't know." Replied Sango as she tried to help Jaken with lighting the fire. Tried being the operative word. Jaken the whole time mumbling about filthy humans and their unbearable stenches.

"We do not smell that bad!" She huffed. "As a matter of fact we just took baths."

He stopped shortly to glare at her because it was under Sesshomaru's orders he could not harm the humans in any way.

"You know what? You just collect the fire wood and start the fire yourself." She silently got up and huffed away to a tree where she sunk down to silently sizzle. Oh how she wanted to take his scrawny toad neck and squeeze it to oblivion. But for her own safety against Sesshomaru's wrath, she restrained.

"Ah now Sango take it easy. You know he is just grumpy." Miroku said walking over and sitting next to her.

As always whenever she seen Miroku she began to soften. Well it wasn't her fault he was so darn attractive. Now about that hand.

She transported herself to behind Sesshomaru just as his sword came down where she once stood. She anticipated as to why Sesshomaru would care to see what his brother was up against as long as ultimately in the end he would die.

Not given long to contemplate this she jumped up into a tree to avoid another poised strike.

She tried to suppress the urge to run. Before she knew what was happening the tree was sinking out from under her. She landed with what conservation she had left in time to pitch herself back onto her back avoiding Sesshomaru's horizontal assault.

She flipped to get up and run but tripped an before she knew what happened she was back on her back the tip of Sesshomaru's sword resting lovingly at the hilt of her neck.

"A formidable foe you will be but you have much to learn." He sheathed his sword then held out his hand to her. A little apprehensive she took it. He pulled her rather forcefully for her taste up and flush against him. He stated to lower his head to hers and she thought he was going to kiss her when he lowered it past her face and to her ear. "Next time learn your place before you talk." He let go of her and turned away. She stood dumbfounded twice today thinking of what just happened, of how that muscular chest had felt against hers. How warm his breath had been against her ear. The way her stomach had pitched violently at his touch and not in a bad way. The thought had her shuddering.

"Are you coming?" She looked up at him as he spoke. She scrambled to him and he started walking away. She was lagging behind while in thought but made sure to stay close enough to him.

"Sesshomaru-sama stop." She didn't know what possessed her to say it but decided to finish her question anyway. "Why do you need me here?"

At first she thought he wasn't going to answer her but was surprised when he did say something. "I don't appreciate you telling me to stop but none the less I will answer your question. You belong……."

"To the Taisho's. I know what I mean is why do you need me now. You never took an interest in me before."

"Are you finished interrupting me, because I won't tolerate that either." She blushed slightly forgetting whom she was talking to. "To claim what rightfully belongs to me. That is all the reason you need." He turned then walked on she sighed then followed. The familiar scents of flowers entered her forcing all her anger away. Without noticing she began to veer off path towards the luminous smells. She felt a hand grab onto the back of her kimono jerking her forcefully back against something extremely male. "Where are you going?"

"I smelled flowers." She gulped.

"Did I give you permission to leave?" She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of thinking he was in control she kept her eyes fore ward and her face unwavering.

"No but I always loved to pick flowers and I don't know with my heightened senses they become so tempting."

Like you are to me? He shook it away. Some distance would be good. "Go then." He turned and started away.

"Sesshomaru-sama?"

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Yes?"

"Would you mind too much accompanying me?"

He was shocked none the least. "Why?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I just don't want to be alone." She kept her eyes on the ground wondering of rejection.

"Fine." She immediately reveled in this small victory and dragged him along to a field of wild flowers. To be quite honest he didn't mind the contact any.

This was probably a bad idea.

All of the different smells intermixing made him light-headed and he felt like the weight of the world wasn't on his shoulders for once.

He even didn't object to the crown of flowers that she had placed rather apprehensively on his head.

He stayed leaned against a tree while watching her flounce around the field picking flowers.

She really was a beautiful specimen. He couldn't help but laugh when she fell and came up with flowers stuck oddly in her hair. She looked at him weirdly before walking over to him and stopping only inches from him.

She looked at him as if he had hit his head. "What?" He asked rather exasperatedly.

"Nothing it is just that I have never heard you laugh so openly like that and smile as well. You should do it more often." She smiled faintly up at him. His stomach did a flip flop and he couldn't figure out why.

He dismissed it and cleared his throat. "We should get back."

The smile faded from her face and she nodded. How he hated to take it away from her but staying around this girl was trying him in ways only known to men and if he wasn't careful something that he would truly regret could happen and without good reason. If and when he took her as mate, if ever, he wanted her consent and for it to be beautiful in a way. He wanted love. Something he had only felt for one other. His mother.

I know it is a miracle I updated two days later. I was hyped up because I finaly got the website I only dreamed of creating. To see it go to my page and go to my homepage.

Well I will update soon.
