Destined Meeting

Shizuka stopped as soon as she was brought inside. Her grey eyes looked at Kija, who only nodded. She was quite nervous. Who wouldn't be? She was meeting a demon lord, but not just any demon lord. The Lord of the Western Lands. She had her hands by her side and she took a deep breath. She looked ahead as she heard someone coming. Not knowing what to expect she kept her eyes ahead of her. A short green toad demon appeared. Her eyes widened as she saw him. Could this mean that the young child lived here as well?

"Kija, is this the gift?" Jaken asked, looking up to see Shizuka. "Ahh, its the slave from the tavern!"

Kija smiled, "Yes, the one from Demon's Door."

"But, she couldn't possibly..."

"No, Jaken, she can sing and soothe mostly anything. I think she would be a great asset to you."

"Well, the young human has taken a liking to her, but..."

Shizuka listened and held her head low. She had made it this far and this little toad wasn't sure if she should pass. While she was standing there, the two were debating. Shizuka stood there and listened. Her heart pounding, for she was dying to know if she would live here or go back to that awful bar. Anything would be better then that place. She was brought out of thoughts by Kija who was smiling at her. She smiled slightly as he pulled her along into another room. It was quite big and there was a fireplace. She stood by Kija as Jaken went off to get Lord Sesshoumaru.

"Don't worry, the Lord will take you in." Kija smiled at her.

Shizuka could only smile nervously as she waited. Her eyes wondered around the room that was standing in. It looked like a sitting room. The fire was burning, causing warmth in the room. She liked it for she had always been in places where it was cold and no one bothered to make sure she was warm. Her eyes feel upon Kija and smiled. Now there was a friend if she ever had one. He had done all of this just so she could live in a better place. In a way, it was something a brother might do for a sister. She hoped that one day she might find her family or what was left from them.

She was once again brought out of her thoughts buy the sound of someone approaching. Her eyes went to the door as the shadow of a man appeared. He walked into the room and was annouced by Jaken. Kija bowed, while Shizuka lowered her head. Her eyes caught his feet where there was a white pelt almost touching the floor. It looked familiar, but where? Where had she seen that before?

"Mi'Lord, this is the gift we present you. Her name is Shizuka." Kija said, slightly bowing again.

Sesshoumaru was looking at her. He walked around her. His amber eyes looking her up and down. To him, she didn't look any different from the rest of his servents. Except, she was a dog demon like him. He caught her scent when she had entered. It made him wonder how she could lower herself to this.

"She is awfully quiet and refuses to look at me."

Kija looked at her. "Yes, she does not speak, she only sings. It is out of respect."

"Look at me." His voice sent chills down her spine. No wonder he was a Lord.

Her grey eyes looked from his feet to his legs. Seeing more of this pelt she continued to look up. Her mind began to race as she saw more of it. Those clothes he was wearing, they were the same as another she met a long time ago. Flashes of the demon that saved her ran through her head. As her eyes fell upon his face, her eyes widened. She would recognize those markings anywhere and those eyes. It took all she had not to gasp. She quickly bowed.

She didn't realize that he noticed some things about her as well. She seemed so familiar and her scent was like one of a child demon he met a while ago. But, of course he refused to believe that they could be the same. Intrigued by this new finding, he nodded at Kija.

"I have decided that I shall take this gift." he said, his eyes falling on Shizuka. "Jaken, take her to her new quarters."

A smile appeared on Kija's face. He now knew she would be safe. He nodded at her, giving her a warm smile before leaving her with her new master. She looked back at him and smiled. Thanking him with her eyes. Her journey was only just beginning now.

"Come on, girl." Jaken called from the door.

She followed the little toad down countless halls and past many doors. Soon she became lost and didn't know where she was or how to get out if she needed to. She continued to follow Jaken and hoped that he would tell her one of these doors was hers. Fifteen minutes later Jaken stoped.

"This is your room. It is with all the other servants. When you are called by Lord Sesshoumaru, then you come immediatly."

She nodded and he opened her door. Her room was of normal size. There was a window that overlooked the city. She looked to the bed and smiled. A bed. It had been many years since she had slept in one of those. Without noticing, her feet had taken her to the bed. She looked down at it and smiled once again. The last time she had slept in a bed was when she was young. Finally she would get a good night's rest.

"See you in the morning." Jaken said, leaving her there.

Shizuka watched him leave and then plopped on the bed. Soon after a knock was heard. Her eyes looked at the door and she sighed. A few minutes later another knock was heard. She stood and walked to the door to open it. Once there she opened the door where another servant stood there with a smile. Shizuka blinked a couple of times.

"Hello, I heard that you are the newest servent." the girl smiled warmily.

Shizuka nodded.

"Well, its nice to meet you. I am Kari and I live in the room next to you. This is the servant quarters." Kari said, still smiling brightly.

Again Shizuka nodded.

"Say, you don't talk much do you?"

She shook her head no.

"Oh then the Lord will get along with you just fine. He finds the ones who talk to much annoying and they don't last long." she said, smiling still.

Shizuka nodded and then looked at her bed.

"Oh, well, you must be tired. I will see ya soon." she said, waving bye.

Shizuka waved as well and closed the door. Another sigh left her as she plopped back down on the bed. For it was soft and very comfortable. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, slowly falling asleep. She slept quite peacefully that night. Her dreams filled of when she was younger and the day that she was saved by none other then the Lord himself. Would he remember the act that he did over 70 years ago?
