Her Story Unfolds
Kija looked up to see the his Lord was approaching without Shizuka. Worry was in his eyes as he saw this. He stood up straight. Kija didn't know what was going to happen now. He could only hope that Sesshoumaru hadn't harmed her. Although he had a feeling that he didn't and maybe he just needed to talk about the days events. He let out a sigh as he saw him stop a few feet from him. His blue eyes looked to Sesshoumaru, awaiting for him to speak.
"I have some questions." the Lord said, looking at Kija with his cold eyes.
Kija nodded. "I have some answers. Let's see if they match." As soon as he said those words, a glare was seen from Sesshoumaru. Kija bowed some, knowing he shouldn't have said that. "Sorry, Mi'lord."
"Shizuka, that is not her name." he said, ignoring the remark.
Shock was in Kija's eyes. 'She told him her name. Does she not know her own past?' he thought as he nodded once again. "No, that it is not."
"She said her name was Nara. Does that mean anything to you?"
"Nara. Isn't that the name of the heir to the Eastern Lands?" he said, looking up at the Lord.
"Now why would she be here and not with her people?"
Kija didn't know how to answer that. His eyes looked down as he thought. He knew that he would have to tell why he had traveled all this way as well. He looked up at Sesshoumaru who was waiting for an answer.
"I do not know."
"Why did you bring her here? It seems as if you know her."
After a while, he answered. "Yes, I do know her. I brought her here to be safe."
He remained silent, but he looked at Kija. His eyes saying to continue.
"She did come from the East. Someone saved her when she was younger. I was but an infant at that time. Our father exiled her from being loyal to the demon that saved her. When I was old enough I chose to leave to find her. I thought that she would have come here."
"Our father?" he asked, walking a bit closer to Kija.
"Think me not a traitor, Lord. I had a choice. Stay and never see my sister or be exiled like her and see her again. I thought she would need my help. That and I missed her."
"Family. It's something that will only cloud your jugdment. They are like emotions, unneeded."
"That is your view. But I care deeply for her. She doesn't know that I am here. I doubt she even remembers she has a brother."
"I will not treat her any different. She shall remain a servant."
"I was not asking you to free her. I brought her here to keep her safe. I don't want her going back to the East."
"It is unlikely that she will."
"Thank you, Mi'Lord."
He began to walk away but stopped. Turning around, he looked at Kija. "What did this demon look like that saved her?"
"It was rumored that it was the Lord Of The West. But that wouldn't make any sense. I mean you couldn't have been in the East."
"I see." he said, walking away.
He walked past a group of rose bushes and stopped. He stood and looked forward. "Kari, it is not wise to spy." he said, and then moved on, out of sight.
Upon hearing that, she gasped and fell over. "Ow." she said, quietly as she sat there. She looked up and sighed in relief that she didn't get killed for that little incident. She turned to looked at Kija who was chuckling.
"He is right you know." he said, walking closer to her.
She looked up at him with her teal eyes. Still sitting on the ground, she would only look up at him at the moment. For she was still trying to catch her breathe from her run in with the Lord. Fear was seen in her eyes as she knew that she had been busted twice. Slowly she smiled. It was hard for her to say anything to him after what had just happened. So, she only nodded.
"I guess I shouldn't eavesdrop anymore." she said softly, trying to stand.
He leaned over and helped her to her feet. His own clear blue eyes looking into hers for a while. What was it about this one girl? She could always make him feel at ease. He liked the feelings he received from her. It was like happiness had found its way to his heart again. She was just to adorable in his eyes. The only one who could make his day brighter. Well, his sister might, but she didn't remember him at the moment. But, Kari, she made him feel a whole lot different then his sister did. It was emotions that he just couldn't explain.
"No, you really shouldn't." he said, smiling at her once she was on her feet again.
"So, you aren't mad that overheard all over that?" she said, looking at him sad.
"Hmm, well, not really."
"You mean it?"
"As long as you promise not to do it again."
She nodded and smiled. "Promise."
He looked at her once again and smiled. "Alright, then there is no need to be upset with you."
"Yippee." she said, jumping up and down.
He could only laugh as he watched her. His eyes held care as he looked at her. One day he would get enough to courage to tell her how he felt, but for now, he would just have to keep this inside him.
"Come on, its late and I am sure you have work tomorrow."
She nodded and walked by his side back to her own room. After saying goodnight, she went in and went straight to bed. For this whole day had been to exciting for everyone. Although, before she fell asleep, she told herself to talk with Nara tomorrow.
