Okay for you people wondering how to pronounce Amily. It is just like Emily except with an 'A' instead of an 'E'.
And I do believe that this is my biggest chapter so far. WOOHOO!
I do not own Inuyasha (but I wish I did), though I do own Amily.
Chapter 6: Sesshoumaru and Being Caught
Inuyasha sat there grumbling as he washed his face off with water from a near by river, while he spat out dirt. Miroku walked up to him.
"Stupid wench, she'll pay for that"
"Now Inuyasha, you did deserve that, you should know better then to call a woman a whore"
Miroku said pointing towards the purple bruise on Inuyasha's jaw.
"What ever monk"
Miroku chuckled and walked away shacking his head. Inuyasha glared at the monks back as he walked away. His ears twitched when he heard laughter coming from the three girls who where outside helping the old miko pick medicinal herbs.
"That was amazing Amily, where did you ever learn to hit like that? I've been training for a very long time to be a demon exterminator, and I could never be able to nock Inuyasha out with just a punch"
Songo said amazed.
"Yes child, ye are very strong for someone who is apparently not a demon, how is it ye are so strong?"
Asked Kiadea, not liking the way the conversation was going but still wanting to hear her answer as well, Inuyasha moved closer and watched Amily carefully and found it curious when she hesitated and looked down to hide her eyes, as if she didn't want to be caught in a lie.
"I… I guess I'm just unusually strong."
She mumbled. Inuyasha smirked, she was hiding something and he was going to find out what it was and get her back for humiliating him in front of everyone, no one does that and gets away with it.
Amily stared at the plants so the others couldn't look into her eyes and tell that she was lying. The back of her neck tingled and Amily looked up and checked out her soundings, she saw Inuyasha staring at her weirdly, she got a weird feeling from home, so she glared at him and stuck out her tongue before turning back around. Sighing deeply and begin picking more herbs.
"Hey Amily, are you okay?"
Kagome asked her worriedly.
"Are your wounds bothering you?"
Songo inquired as she placed her hand on Amily's shoulder, Amily held up her hands.
"I'm fine really, I… think I'm going to go for a walk, if that's okay with you Kiadea?"
"Yes child, it is alright with me"
Amily nodded and left quickly heading towards the forest, needing to be alone.
Sighing in relief at being alone, Amily let herself relax and think about the past few days, so much had happened that it was hard for her to keep up with it all, first being electrocuted, and then meeting people from her favourite cartoon and then fighting the demons and Naraku. Amily looked up as she heard birds chirping and saw the bright blue sky, she smiled brightly and breathed in deeply. No pollution, sky clear of smog. It was so wonderful to hear no cars beeping their horns, no people yelling or fighting over stupid things, no tall buildings crowding her in. Amily stopped in a clearing and sat down leaning back against a tree she relaxed letting the wind blow threw her hair and sooth her, letting the sun shine on her face. Soon she was fast asleep.
Sesshoumaru, Taiyoukai of the western lands was walked through the forest, with Jaken not far behind him and Rin humming happily as she fallowed. Never letting it show on his ever-passive unemotional face, he was enjoying the warmth of the day in utter contentment. Entering a clearing and lost in his own thoughts, he never saw the girl sleeping under the blossoming Sakura tree. He closed his eyes in irritation when Jacken's annoying voice broke the silence.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru! Look there's a strange girl over there, Lord Sesshoumaru"
Suppressing a growl of irritation, he turned his head and stopped dead in his tracks as he saw a young woman with flame red hair and pale smooth skin. She was obviously asleep with her arms draped loosely around her stomach. He noticed that one of her hands was bandaged and that her skin wasn't smooth at all but covered in cuts and welts.
'Who would want to harm her?'
He thought to himself, never letting his mask slip. Rin suddenly burst into the clearing singing loudly, and Jacken began yelling at her to shut up. Before Sesshoumaru could say anything, the woman under the tree began to stir, and then opened her eyes; he watched her look around before her eyes settled on him. He felt strong burst of irritation as he saw no fear in her eyes, then he notice her stiffening up as if preparing for a battle, she stood up stiffly as if it caused her pain to do so. She called out guardedly.
"Who are you?"
Jacken straightened up in out righteous indignation, and marched over to the young woman and pounded his staff against the ground.
"He is Lord Sesshoumaru. Lord over the western lands, and you should bow down with the privilege of seeing him"
When the woman just stood there looking at the little toad glaring dangerously at him, Jacken only became even angrier.
"Bow down now you wretched vile woman, you are in the presence of Lord Sesshoumaru… Do as I say..."
"Jacken"
Sesshoumaru's voice cut him off, the little toed turned around his eyes bright with adoration
"Yes my Lord"
"Be quite"
Jacken grumbled and glared at the woman before walking away. Sesshoumaru watched the woman cross her arms and glare even more.
"What do you want?"
He stared at her, raising an eye- brow, before turning and continued on with his walk.
"I asked you a question."
He turned and looked at her crossing his arms over his chest
"I do not have to answer you"
"Fine what ever, I'm leaving"
The girl turned her back to him and began walking away from him, but stopped when Jacken yelled at her.
"Insolent wench, you'll pay for turning your back on Lord Sesshoumaru"
Jacken raised his staff and fire erupted from head of the old man, the fire shot straight at the girl. The lord of the western lands was shocked when he felt the sudden rise in power, he watched as she lifted her uninjured hand, he couldn't see it but he knew that she had created a shield. The fire hit the shield and didn't go any further the air from the fire and the attack caused the girls hair to whip behind her giving her a wild and untamed look. The attack died out, she was unscathed and very angry; he could feel the anger in her aura reaching out like a living creature ready to strike out at the first thing that moved.
"Do that again you little toad and I will rip your heart out and shove it up your ass. I do not care that your precious Sesshoumaru is a Lord, I bow to no one, if I want to leave, I will."
As the girl spoke Sesshoumaru could feel her power rising. He watched the grass at her feet flatten against the ground and little rocks lift up slightly, Jacken must have felt it as well, for his eyes got big and he backed up slowly before turning and running away. He watched as the girl closed her eyes, and brought herself under control. He was surprised at the amount of control she showed. In a flash of silver and white the Lord of the western lands appeared in front of Amily and gripping her by the neck, he lifted her up and slammed her into the tree behind her causing some of the little blossoms of the tree to fall. He glared are her, raising his free hand, and letting his claws grow out slightly they began to drip with deadly venom, Sesshoumaru became angry as she glared back at him with out the slightest hint of fear in her eyes, the look in her eyes was almost daring him to strike her with his venom dripping claws.
"Why do you not fear me, woman. I could kill you right now if I so chose too"
He growled out, his eyes turning red. He ignored the small raise in her energy.
"Answer me woman…"
He stopped and his eyes turned back to there golden colour as he felt a slight tingling near his groin, feeling a great danger to his family jewels, Sesshoumaru looked down and saw the young woman's hand down there with a small energy ball in her hand, he looked at her, his stony unemotional mask slipping a little as his eyes opened even more in shock, no woman had ever dared putting her hands anywhere near there, and no one had ever so boldly defied him. She smiled sweetly.
"My dear, 'lord' Sesshoumaru"
She said lord sarcastically, and brought her hand up causing the crotch of his kimono to sizzle making Sesshoumaru to become extremely worried, but he didn't move because he did not want her to know of his nervousness,
"You do not scare me because I know you will not be able to kill me it will take more then your claws to end my life, and even if you do attack me I will still be able to burn away your 'jewels'"
Her voice goes from overly sweet to hard as stone.
"Now let me go"
She brings her hand a little bit closer to his crotch and his pants sizzle even more, he growls viciously at her before removing his hand from around her neck.
"So glad you see it my was 'Fluffy'"
She moved away from him and the tree, she glared at him before turning and leaving quickly, muttering under her breath.
"Stupid dog"
Amily walked away as fast as she could with out looking like she was freaking out. When she had been woken up by the sound of Rin and Jacken's loud voices she hadn't seen anything at first but when she saw Sesshoumaru, she'd known exactly who he was even, though she had said she didn't. His tall lean body, long silvery white hair, his tail draped over his shoulder, the armour, and his eyes, those gloriously golden eyes. Had given it away. But in knowing who he was also meant she knew how dangerous he could be, not as deadly as Naraku, but close enough, and the last thing Amily needed was to fight the lord of the western lands, and Inuyasha's older half- brother, so she had been glad that he had backed off when she pulled that little stunt that could have ended her life right then and there. She really needed to think before she acted, but as soon as she had seen him, her energy had gone haywire and started to spike, which was something that had never happened before, it had not helped that, that fucking little toad had made her angry and that had only helped to make her even more brainless then she already was. This was something she would certainly have to think about.
When she was sure she was far enough away she stopped, and relaxed, breathing a deep sigh of relief she noticed she was at the edge of the forest looking out over the most spectacular view she had ever seen. She stood ten feet from the precipice of a steep cliff and far down below her she could see the tops of trees and forest floor with a river running threw it. She leaned against a tree and let the feel of the wind and the sound sooth her. The sound of birds came again and Amily began to feel her back tingle, she tried to ignore it but the feeling became insistent to the point of it being painful. Finally she could stand it no longer. Taking off her ripped shirt and leaving on her extremely modest sports like bra, she tucked her torn shirt securely into the side of her pants so she was sure her shirt would not fall out. Amily closed her eyes and let her self relax completely and fully. She concentrated on the feeling coming from her back and let it grow until she felt her back start to move around. Re-arranging the muscles, forming new bones. As she stood there her shoulder length hair grew even more curly and wild, and the colour became even darker, her muscles became even more firm and built up but not un-attractively so. Closing her eyes tightly as she felt two deep cuts forming near the edge of her shoulder blades, Amily gathered all her strength and cried out as she finished the last of her transformation. A pair of grey, white, and dappled with a darker grey, coloured wings exploded from her back, they stretched out wide and opened to their full extent before folding neatly against her back, a few feathers floated to the ground only to be caught up in the air and swept away. Each wing was five feet in length and reached down to the back of her knees. When Amily open her eyes they where dark green, almost black, but where also speckled with bites of bright gold. She took a deep breath and felt the sky call out to her, the wind ruffled the feathers on her wings as if beckoning her to take flight. Walking up to the edge of the cliff, Amily once again closed her eyes open her arms out wide, she let her self fall forwards until she plummeted off the cliff. She let the ground race to wards her, the wind blowing her hair around like a flame and plastering her jeans and bra to her skin, the ground was getting even closer now, but she didn't open her wings. Amily waited until she was just above the tree- tops before her wings unfolded, the caught her wings and shot her back up into the sky, she shot past the cliff edge and kept going as the feeling of absolute freedom rushed threw her and filled her veins. High above the ground she threw her hair back and let out a piercing hawks cry explode from her lips. The sound was filled with freedom and hope and utter happiness.
Amily flew around for hours, her wings betting against the air. She loved to fly but very rarely ever got the chance too, with there being so many people in a big city someone would be able to notice her, even at dark the town was so brightly lit that if someone looked hard enough they would be able to see her flying threw the sky, the only time she got to was when, her mom took her sisters and herself camping, and even then she didn't want to because he sisters would call her a freak and taunt her about it. The hours passed and the sun reached the centre of the sky and then began to set. Threw her joy filled mind Amily noticed how late it was getting and the others would be getting worried about her so she regretfully decided to head back. She flew in as close as she dared to get to the village and landed near the bone eaters well, she sighed softly and willed her wings back into her back. They disappeared quickly and her back settled back into the way it was, her hair became less wild even though is was still wind blown, her muscles became less firm even though she was still extremely strong, and the gold in her eyes disappeared while the green once again became emerald in colour. She put back on her shirt and was about to turn around with she heard a gasp and the snap of a twig, spinning around quickly she stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes opened wide.
"K- Kagome!"
