One Brother, One Story

Later on that evening, Kija was walking through an open hall. Many thoughts were on his mind as he placed one foot in front of the other. The main thing was his sister. He knew that their father would pass away shortly and the kingdom would be left unruled. That wouldn't go to well. How could there be peace when no one could maintain the people? A sigh escaped him as he looked down the empty hall. It was something that he just had to do, but he wasn't sure if he had the strength to say what needed to be said. Fear was in his mind as he walked. What if he told her and she refused to believe him? Who would save their country then? It was just to much for him to take at the moment.

As he continued down the hall, he didn't realize that someone was following him. Kija's mind was set on trying to figure out a way to tell his sister of her linage, that he couldn't feel her presance. He was muttering words outloud as he walked. This was like him though, always thinking and planning. It seemed that he'd be better set to rule then her. But in their country, first born got that priviledge.

Nara was right behind him as he was walking. She had seen him all alone and wanted to talk with him. Now was a good opprotunity to speak with him. Thoughts crossed her mind as she walked as well. For the brief moments that she had been with him, she felt as though they were close. It was a feeling that she just couldn't seem to get over. So, the dog demoness made up her mind to see Kija and have a talk with him. She had made questions for him and hoped that he could give her some answers.

"Mr. Kija." Her calm voice spoke, causing him to freeze in place. This reaction caused her to run smack into him. Her face wrinkled some as she took a step back.

"Don't do that..." he said, almost scolding the one who had bumped into him. "Oh, its you. Miss Nara." he said with a warm smile.

She looked up from the ground in shock. Her grey eyes held question as she heard her real name come from someone who she had never told. Or so she thought. 'Wait a minute...how does he know my name? Did Lord Sesshoumaru tell him?' she thought as she just stared in awe.

"Uh...I mean...um...hmm. Miss Shizuka. Yeah that's it. I didn't know where that name came from. Whoa...do you know anyone by that name?"

She just blinked a few times and then after five minutes of looking confused, she laughed. "Mr. Kija, are you alright?" she asked, a warm smile on her face.

"Yes, I am fine. You aren't Nara...geez look at me, can't even say the right name. It was Miss Kari's fault for making my tea." he said, nodding some. Although really, he was trying is hardest to keep his cool. Being busted like this was sure to give him a heartattack. He put a hand over his chest.

"I see. Well, then I won't have any of her tea then." she said lightly.

Kija nodded and looked at her for a brief moment. How could he just stand here and not tell her of who she was? He felt regret in keeping this from her. Slowly, he looked away. "Yeah, no tea." he said, his voice sounding as if his thoughts were some place far away.

"Mr. Kija?"

"Hmm?"

"I know that I shouldn't ask but, why do you look out for me?"

He looked back at her and their eyes connected. It was in that moment that Nara flashed back to a small pup with the same bright blue eyes. A hand went to her mouth as she just stood there in plan shock. Could this dog demon standing in front of her be another person from her past? Nara's mind was racing with thoughts of her past, trying to make herself remember who those eyes belonged to. It seemed that Kija wanted her to remember as well. His eyes looked at her with hope that she would find those thoughts that were locked in the depths of her mind. But as she was pressing on, trying to match the face to those blue eyes, the sound of Jaken's voice could be heard.

"Miss Shizuka, its time for you to sing in front of Lord Sesshoumaru. He is becoming impatient and that is not good at all. So get your lousy-"

"Jaken...do not speak of her like she is nothing but a servant. You know nothing, you ignorant toad." Kija said, his anger showing and also that he knew more then he led on.

Nara looked at him with question, but he soon ushered her to go to the Lord. With a nod, she was on her way to his quarters. As she walked there, she couldn't help but think about what Kija had done and said. It was all a blur, but those eyes. She couldn't stop thinking about those eyes of his. Something about them just made her want to know where she had seen them before. Once again, she was brought out of her thoughts by Jaken.

"You may go in now." he said, watching her enter and then bowed before leaving them alone.

Sesshoumaru was sitting be the window looking out when he felt her enter. The moon shone through the window as the Lord of the West sat by it. A slight breeze blew his hair as his amber hues looked out over the country. His thoughts were filled with the information about his newest servant. Was it possible that Nara was indeed the heir to the Eastern Lands? This could be bad, seeing as how they dispised him and his father. Hearing the light footsteps of the one who hardly left his mind, he turned to face her.

Nara bowed to him as she waited to hear him state that she could rise. While she thought a lot about the Lord of the West, her mind was on Kija. She felt as if she knew him from years past. Not to mention those bright blue eyes of his only made her mind ache to know who he was. Her thoughts however were once broken again, by her master speaking.

"Sing." he command. He stood to face her fully, so that he might be able to enjoy her voice more fully.

With a nod, she stood up straight and cleared her throat. Her grey eyes looked into his amber ones as her voice filled the air. Her sad, yet beautiful song was once again heard by him. Sesshoumaru's emotionless face began to wane as he continued to hear her voice. He looked almost peaceful. It seemed that the more she sang, the more that his emotions showed. As much as he had told himself never to feel them or let them show, this one woman was bringing them out.

Once finished, she bowed once again and stood there quietly. Her eyes looked at him once again. It was hard for her to break away from his gaze. Those amber eyes were to mesmorizing to look away from. How many times had she gotten lost? She couldn't even count anymore. So in silence the two of them stood facing each other. One not willing to speak, the other to afraid.

After a while, a soft knock was heard at the door. Nara blinked a few times, then turned to answer it. For she was still a servant and didn't want to dissappoint her master. Her light footsteps took her halfway and then the door opened. A small shadow appeared. It grew bigger as the small child entered.

"Oh, hello there, Miss Na- Shizuka." Rin said, smiling brightly. She would always forget that Nara didn't want everyone knowing her real name. She kept that a secret for so long that she thought that only a few should know.

Nara smiled and waved as she looked down at the small human child. She had always been fond of the girl and felt as if Rin brought much needed life to this gloomy castle. She only hoped the human girl would be raised properly. Nara had no mother and knew what it was like to grow up all alone. She didn't want that for this young one at all. The dog demoness wanted to help this child out as much as she could.

"Oh yeah! Lord Sesshoumaru, tomorrow may I pick flowers in the field?" the small girl asked, looking up pleadingly at him.

"Only if Jaken accompany's you."

She sighed. "Aww, but he is always so bossy."

'If not him, then whom?' he thought to himself as he looked that small girl. Her disappointment was enough to make him go with her. And he would have too if not for official business he had to attend to.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, if I am not needed here tomorrow, then perhaps I can accompany Miss Rin." Nara spoke up, not wanting the child to be sad either.

Rin's face lit up. "Yeah! Miss Nara can take me and we can pick flowers all day!" she said, jumping up and down. She couldn't keep in her joy.

Nara watched and tried to hold back laughter as she looked at the girl bounce around. Her smile would fade as she felt Sesshoumaru directly behind her. It was almost enough to make her gasp for her air as her heart was pounding. Fear came back on her face as she stood there.

"Make sure she is well and returns home safely." he commanded in his deep voice.

She nodded slowly, scared to even speak. He moved away, but remained close by. Rin took Nara's had and smiled. The dog demoness could only smile as she looked down at the child. Although, her heart was racing at the moment, the child seemed to calm her down some.

"Rin, I want you home before the sun sets." Sesshoumaru said, looking at the little girl with a stern face.

"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru." she said, leading Nara away from his room with a bright smile.

Sesshoumaru closed the door and then moved to lay on his bed. He hoped that Nara did not disappoint him. It would be a shame to lose such a good servant for not protecting Rin. Although intuition had him feeling that something bad would happen tomorrow.
