I can update this story pretty fast sense I have a few chapters all ready typed, so when I reach the point were I have to type, you'll know it will take me longer to update two stories at once.

Chapter2 - The Sakura Forest

Sesshoumaruran to the back as fast as he could to see the 4 guys holding a thrashing girl, he stopped beside the building and listened to what they were saying to her.

"Help! Please, let me go!"

She yelled, they just laughed and the one holding her began to talk.

"O, come on all we want is a little excitement. If we let you go there would be none. School gets a little boring, you know?"

He said gripping her tighter as she tried to free herself.

One of the guys grabbed hold of her a put her on the ground, holding her tightly. Until a rock flew and hit him in the back of the head. The guy looked around, to see who through the rock then yelled.

"Come out now punk!"

Sesshoumarustepped out from beside the building and faced the 4 guys. He looked at the girl then noticed who it was, it was Sakura.

Sakurahad stopped thrashing around to see who was the one who interfered.Sakura gasped she didn't expect who she saw.

"Let the girl go!" He ordered. The guys just laughed.

"But we haven't had our fun yet!" He whined.

"Does it look like I really give a damn!"Sesshoumaru half yelled at him. At that the guy frowned and turnedSakura towards him, and ripped her shirt open exposing her bra and chest.

The guy tossed the torn shirt to the ground.Sakura shrieked and slapped him across the face.

He looked at her then said. "Here take her. She scratches like a damn fox." He said practically throwing her to Sesshoumaru.

Then he continued to her. "Be thankful he came or your shirt would not be the only thing off right now."

She was sobbing a little. The 4 guys turned around and headed off the school grounds.

"Your ok, stop crying." He demanded, then he slid his jacket off his arms and put it around her.

"Here, you might want to wear this sense your topless. Your name's Sakura-chan right?" She nodded then mumbled a "Thank you."

He looked down at her then asked.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home." He asked. "I live in the Sakura Forest, and have sense I was 5. You don't have to take me home I'm fine, I can go alone. O, sorry about this morning, I was upset about something." She confessed

"I said I would take you home, and about this morning I shouldn't have been so rude, I to was upset about something."

"It's Ok." She said smiling

"Come, let's go." He said leading her to his car. As they got in he got the directions to her house and they drove there.

"This place looks so familiar."Sesshoumaru said to himself as they reached the Sakura Forest. There were sakura tree's everywhere.

"My house is in there, I'll be going now."

Getting out, or thought so till she was pulled back in by Sesshoumaru.

"Can I come in?"

She nodded surprised he asked, but then again not so surprised sense he's been here before.

He got out and followed as she gave him a silent tour guide of the forest. Then an Idea struck her. "Sesshoumaru-sama! Come here."Sesshoumaru went to see what she wanted.

SesshouamrufollowedSakura till they came to a clearing. There was a river and lots of sand. "Wow! It's beautiful!"Sesshoumaru exclaimed, then he looked atSakura to see her staring at the scenery.

"This is my favorite place in the forest. It holds good and bad memories. This is where I lost my parents. They were swept away down stream. I followed till I found them, but by the time I reached them they were dead."

"I'm sorry."

Sesshoumarusaid sadly, but she turned to him smiling.

"It's OK, cause I still have the good memories, but they are secret's. I'm going to take a swim, I'll be right back I have to go get my bathing suit."

Sesshoumarunodded and went to sit down by the river.

As he did, his memories of Kagome-chan and his father came to his mind. He suddenly realized that this was the same river he went to when he was younger.

His thoughts drifted to Kagome-chan the young beautifulkitsune youkai. Her white long hair, her adorable tail and ears. He came back to realization when he heardSakura speak.

She would have left him alone but he was thinking hard about something so she went to sit by him and his him what was on his mind.

"Sesshoumaru? What's wrong?"

He looked up startled, he hadn't realize her return.

"I've been here before. I lost my father and met a young girl, I really miss. Before I left I gave her something very precious to me, and she gave me this."

He reached to untie his hair and showed her the hair tie.

She smiled secretly and bent down to him.

"I bet she misses you all the same."

"Well I'm not sure, she's from a different world. She lives in theYoukai Paradise."

Sakurajust smiled and stood back up.

"Well, I'm going for a swim now."

He watched as she ran and jumped into the air doing and summersault, and gracefully landed in the river. "Damn! She is like a fox!" He thought to himself.

He just watched her swim around, she kept going to a rock and doing back flips and summersaults into the river. After awhile she motioned him to go over to her, he slowly and cautiously got up from where he was sitting and walked up to her.

He looked down at her, she dived under and came up splashing him with a gallon of water.

"Hey!"

He laughed, he started to take off his shirt , shoes, and socks.

He jumped in splashing her in return. She dived under the water and grabbed his feet pulling him under. He ducked under as well and released her hold on his feet.

They both came up for air, butSesshoumaru was dunked all over again. She dived under again and sped away from him. He grabbed her then got her back with the same tactic. After she came up for air. She swam up to a rock and called a time's on there fun.

"Giving up all ready!"

Sesshoumarucalled, she grinned and shook her long hair flinging water all over his face. She laughed as she stood up and dived in again.

They were laughing and playing for what seemed like hours.Sesshoumaru thennoticed the sun beginning to set.

"Sakura-chan, I have to get going."

He said still laughing.

"OK."

She answered,Sesshoumaru went to the bank and began re-clothing again.

Sesshoumaruwanted to askKagome something but couldn't get it out, but he tried.

"Sakura, Do you want to got to the dance that's going to be held in a few weeks? You don't have to, if you don't want to."

Sesshoumaruwas actually nervous, he hadn't been nervous sense he met Kagome-chan.

Sakuranodded her head showing her approval.

"I would love too."

Sesshoumarusmiled and they both walked to the car.

"See ya, later."Sesshoumaru stated.

"Yeah."

AsSesshoumaru leftSakura ran to her house and went to her room and grabbed a ribbon, from her shelf.

"To think I waited all this time and finally you noticed me."She thought happily.

Sesshoumaru and Sakura walked in the school together everyday, senseSakura was attacked, and they played like young children at the river a few days ago.

They never admitted it, when someone asked if they were going out. They both would always reply,

"We're just friends."

But everyone knew otherwise,Kouga especially.

Every time they were together,Sesshoumaru talked none stop aboutSakura sometimes.

"Sesshoumaru! Just admit that your in love with Sakura!"Kouga said with a dog like growl. ButSesshoumaru still wouldn't admit it.

"We're just friends!"

Sesshoumarusaid growling back.

"O, really? Every time you see, speak, or think about her, your whole face light's up with passion! Your just not use to having a girlfriend"

Kouga argued at his friend.

Kougawas good at arguing butSesshoumaru was even better. "1, She's not my girlfriend, and will never be. 2,The only girlfriend I want is Kagome-chan! 3, She's just a friend, I DO NOT LOVE HER!"

Sesshoumarugrowled louder but still no one heard there argument, they thought.Sesshoumaru turned around and leftKouga to sink the words in.

Sakurawas standing there the whole time and heard it all. She knew he loved Kagome, but after allKagome was her, and he didn't know that much, nor would he ever figure it out, no one will.

Now she probably wouldn't get to see him any more.Kagome bowed her head and walked on to lunch.

She sat doing nothing but picking at her food whileSesshoumaru and Kougatalked next to her. Soon the lunch bell rung releasing them to there last class.

After class she hadn't foundSesshoumaru and his car was gone from the lot. She decided to walk until she was out of sight and then transformed into her white fox form.

AsSakura ran her way home she heard a loud "click!" when she was near the Sakura Forest. Then "Bang!" a gun shot was aimed at her. Her instincts screamed "HUNTER!" so she ran as fast as she could from the person hunting her.

As she reached the Sakura Forest, she heard another shot, she avoided the bullet by dodging. She ran behind a bush and looked at who was trying to kill her for most likely her fur.

Her eye's widened as she looked at the hunter in disbelief. Her heart felt like it fell from her chest in that moment. The hunter was

"Sesshoumaru!"

Kagomegrowled which was a bad idea as he quickly shot in her direction. The bullet connected with her front leg and she fell. He laughed as he watched the creature fall to the ground.

"I will eliminate every whitekitsune with black tipped ears and tail until that onekitsune that killed my father is dead!"

Thinking the white fox was dead he walked away from the scene.

Once she smelt his sent vanish she transformed into a fox demon. She was now the lovely Kagome. She began to try and get up but her arm was weak with the bullet in it.

She placed her unhurt palm on her hurt one and soon the bullet came out. With the help of her "Healing Snow"Kagome stood up and began walking to her house, the only thing left from the shot was a scar on her arm.

As she headed to her house she began to cry, in doing so a light snow began to fall over head. Her cause for crying was not the pain, but the one who inflicted it upon her.

"He didn't know, if he knew he wouldn't have shot me."

She cried her face was now full of tears and the snow ceased to stop.

She could now see her house, but a rustle in the brush beside her stopped her in her tracks. Her ears moved to find the sound again and when she heard a twig snap, she faced the brush.

She was a little scared cause if someone was too attack she wouldn't be able to protect herself very well. Finally she gathered her courage and called. "Who's there?"

A person she knew all to well stepped out from the bush. She gasped and took a step back, and hit against the tree.

Well this chapter is done, I don't know how long the story will be, probably not even 10 chapters unless I some how find something to add to it. So please review and wait for chapter 3.
