Chapter 2

When Kikimaru left from the city her first spot she looked for Naraku was where she had run into him. She was walking like she was okay with life and nothing could get worse. She had a feeling that she wouldn't find him right away, deciding she would walk her way of the travel, smelling the air of the scent that was his.

With the slow pace that she kept it gave her a lot of time to think and sort out her mind. She thought of her father and if he was ok, whether if it would take long to find the man? How was it that he was so strong for a half-demon? Question after question came to her filling her head with them all wanting an answer.

About four days have gone by looking for Naraku, all the trails she had been on led to a dead end. She would pick up the scent of the half demon but then it would just stop. She was getting very frustrated with each failed trail. She won't give up though; she was going to get her revenge no matter what, even if she did have to quit her travel she would have a flame burning in her heart for the revenge.

Kikimaru decided to take a brake from her travel. She sat next to a river to fish for a wile. She made the fishing line with a stick, a smaller stick that she broke in the shape of a hook and a few strands of her hair, she put on the hook a piece of bread. Wile fishing she watched the fish as they swam by or snacking a nibble off of the hook. She admired how smart some of the fish were, and then when an unlucky one grabbed the hook, she pulled it in.

She placed two medium sized fish next to a fire to cook and just waited. Finally when they were done she grabbed one and started to eat. She ate slow and politely like she was still at the castle. When she was done she sat down and just rested for a few minutes under a tree.

When she woke up it was almost sun down. Kikimaru got up and started on her travel again. Walking in the direction she was going when she stopped.

Continuing with the miss leads and dead ends to finding Naraku was getting to her; she was not patient (if you can't tell by now). She has been traveling for about three weeks since last spoken about. Kikimaru had not slept within those days she was thinking that if she continued without stopping then she will find the man sooner and will be able to live better. She sat down under a tree sighing while putting her head back and closing her eyes.

While asleep she had a feeling that her father must have lived because it shouldn't be too hard to find her. Neko demons have very good sense of direction and have a better sense of smell. Her breathing was faint but normal for her sleep and the sun was shining on her making her warm.

She didn't sleep long just enough to gain a little strength. She opened her eyes to see if there was a stream near by she hadn't eaten in a few days so she was hungry too, she was in no luck the closest stream was about a mile or so south. She put her head back on the tree and relaxed a little more, she then had a feeling that something was coming and she decided to wait for it to come. She had a feeling that this other thing was not alone and the majority of the group was demon, maybe they knew something about the man that could help her.

About an hour went by and then finally a small girl and a wearied looking green imp walked by. The imp knew that Kikimaru was sitting under the tree but kept walking as if seeing nothing. Although the girl had a different thought buzzing in her head. She stopped and examined Kikimaru sleeping (not really). "RIN! Get away from that beast!" the imp called.

Kikimaru opened her eyes at the remark and stood up. Unnoticed by the imp Kikimaru was about to kill the creature for the comment. She grabbed the imp by the collar, and spoke with an angered tone. "Who are you to insult me you worthless toad?" she said with flames blazing in her eyes. The imp went cold an only could mutter a few "um…."

Just then the imp squeaked a happy relief when a strong demon came walking by. "LORD SESSHOMARU! HELP ME PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!" The imp squealed with fear. Sesshomaru just looked up to see Jaken being held by a demon that kind of resembled himself. "Are you enjoying the pleasure of torturing my servant?" Sesshomaru said calmly.

Kikimaru couldn't speak, for once she found someone she actually took a really strong liking to. Kikimaru snapped out of her daydream and spoke. "Teach your frog a lesson in talking to higher classed people." She said dropping him. "Higher class?" Jaken said looking confused. "Yes, my name is Kikimaru, lady of the northern lands. That thing you call a servant is rude and mean." She said.

She was trying to sound sophisticated and to get some attention from Sesshomaru but he just looked at her with the same look as before, with a mix of boredom. Kikimaru kind of felt bad, but then it clicked in her head, as Sesshomaru started to leave. "Hey! Wait have you seen a man in a baboon pelt?"

Sesshomaru stopped and turned to look at. "Why would you want to know about Naraku?" he asked.

Just then Kikimaru then lost her speech, and then she looked down at her feet. "I need to kill him and take revenge for destroying my city and killing many of my people." she said getting tense. She made her hand a fist at her side, trying to hold back her rage. "Please Sesshomaru, let me join your group and let me help you." She said.

"No. you don't look like you can last five seconds in a battle. You have no sword, and I don't sense strong demonic powers coming from you ether. To tell you the truth you're pathetic." Sesshomaru said with no interest what so ever. Kikimaru was shocked at the reply, she was not pathetic. He just didn't know her that well.

"Let us have a battle right here and now, I'll show you what I can do." She replied. Sesshomaru stud with his eyes closed, thinking. "I'll make a deal with you." He finally said. "Me?" She was curious to what it was. Sesshomaru started, "We will have the battle and we each get something if we win. Me, if I win your life ends." "If I win I will join you and help kill Naraku." Kikimaru ended. "Agreed" they both said in unison.

Sesshomaru and Kikimaru both jumped back and took a fighting stance. Glaring at each other, hearing a low growl from them both. Sesshomaru started by pulling out Toukijin and lunged towards her; he swung the sword but missed her as she bent back and then jumping back even more. Landing and jumping forward she was about to strike, Sesshomaru was ready to block when she just vanished.

Sesshomaru looked around realizing that there was no one around then standing strait putting Toukijin in his obi again, about to step forward when he herd Kikimaru's voice. "Move and your throat is cut, and free to let your blood run down your armor." He didn't move, because he could feel her right behind him, claws at his neck. "I am surprised at your use of tactics. You may be of use to me. Let me free. I think I will let you have this battle." Demanded Sesshomaru.

Kikimaru let him move again and then sat down to discuss the deal better. She sat under the tree she was under earlier waiting for Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru just sat across from her. "Now that I have seen your true skills, I take back what I said earlier." He started. "Jaken see that you treat Kikimaru the same you do with me, do I make myself clear?" Sesshomaru said with a glare to assure that he was not fooling around.

Jaken backed off, afraid of what is going to happen if he didn't. "Where are you headed to, if you don't mind me asking?" Kikimaru asked with her head resting on the tree and one eye open. "I'm looking for my little brother then headed to find Naraku." Sesshomaru said studying her. He realized that Kikimaru was easy to talk to and she was strong, and come to think about it more like him then he though. He was growing on her finding her beautiful as well.

Kikimaru Wanted to keep talking but she wanted something to eat and some more rest. She was so hungry she had to ask, "Do you have any food that I may have to eat?" Sesshomaru got up and moved towards Ah-Un and opened a pouch that was strapped to the dragon's back. He pulled out some rice and bread, and handed it to Kikimaru. She took the food and ate it.

Kikimaru then just realized that Sesshomaru didn't have a left arm. She felt sad for him and she wanted to help. She got up and pulled out the small pouch that had the rain drops in it and pulled one out. She extended her hand to him and said, "Let me see your arm." Sesshomaru held out his right arm. "No your other arm, its missing. This stoned rain drop that I have will allow your arm to grow back."

Kikimaru sat next to him and put her hand to Sesshomaru's armor and untied the lace that held the spiked shoulder guard to the chest plate. She then slowly pulled off his robe to revel his shoulder and what should have continued to his left arm. She then forced the stone in his shoulder and put her hands together. She chanted the spell of healing and prayed; when the blue light glowed in her hands she brought it to Sesshomaru's shoulder and pushed it in as well.

A bright light started to grow from Sesshomaru's shoulder and grew even more intense. As this happened Sesshomaru doubled over in pain as the light seemed to take form. In a matter of seconds the light formed an arm and the light disappeared. Sesshomaru panted heavily and waited for the pain to stop throbbing in his newly formed arm.

Kikimaru backed away to give Sesshomaru some room to breathe. After regaining his breath and withstanding the pain that stayed with his shoulder, he looked at kikimaru with his eyes glowing red. He then realized that Kikimaru was shaking in fear, she was scared. Did she do the right thing by giving Sesshomaru back his arm?

Sesshomaru returned to normal and he put his robe back on, being gentle of his sore arm. He got up and walked towards Kikimaru who had backed into a tree starring at his face. She froze then closed her eyes; Sesshomaru leaned to her ear and asked "Why?"

Kikimaru's eyes shot open and blushed red in the face. Then she snapped back to the real world. "Because I think it's sad to see someone like you to be missing and arm. Plus I…uh…. like you." Was all that she could say, any more and she would have died.

Kikimaru helped Sesshomaru to Ah-Un and told him that she would handle the fighting until he was better. Jaken gave Kikimaru a stare, and when she noticed she gave it right back but worse. Rin looked at Kikimaru and asked, "Are you going to be joining us lady Kikimaru? Does that mean that Lord Sesshomaru and you are lovers?"

Kikimaru blushed all shades of red at the girls comment. Kikimaru hoped that Sesshomaru didn't hear that, she looked back to make sure he didn't. As far as she could tell he didn't seem to hear it. Unknown to the others Sesshomaru had a little red to his own face but he hid it by tilting his head down.

They walked like that for about an hour, Jaken starring at Kikimaru and Rin holding kikimarus hand as they walked. Kikimaru then stopped walking, feeling the presence of another demon outside of her newly joined group.

"Lady Kikimaru? What's the matter my Lady?" asked Rin. "Someone is coming from… that direction." She spun her arm in the northern direction. Sesshomaru was impressed, he didn't sense anyone coming, and he was beginning to doubt her. He looked at her weird like she was crazy.

Then it hit him, there was someone coming, but how? How did she know before him? Plus she was clam; maybe she knows who it is? All these questions stayed in his head while he watched her stare towards the north.

Kikimaru focused her concentration to the unknown demon that was coming, what ever it was it wasn't far. "What ever it is it's coming this way, it wall be here in about 20 minutes." She said sitting down on the ground.

Rin sat next to her and smiled. Sesshomaru was surprised that Rin was taking a liking to Kikimaru so fast. Sesshomaru smiled at this, they acted like true mother and daughter.

Kikimaru helped Sesshomaru off Ah-Un and sat him next to her self. Kikimaru played along with Rin to make her happy and to try and pass the time.

The time didn't pass as quick as she thought it would have. Kikimaru had been waiting for what seemed to be a whole hour. Then she shot up when something rustled in the bushes. Sesshomaru arm still hurt but that didn't stop him from getting up as well and getting ready to fight if needed.

Out of the bushes jumped a neko demon, like the ones in kikimarus city. It was younger neko though, about Rins age. His hair was silver and a little past his shoulders. He was wearing a brown colored robe that went to his knees.

When the boy neko saw Kikimaru he bowed his head, and pulled out a scroll from his robe. Handing it out to present it to Kikimaru. She took the scroll and unrolled it so she could read it. About half way through her eyes filled with tears and her hand started to crumple the paper. She through it to the ground and walked off in a hurry, with her head down.

Sesshomaru just looked at the boy. Rin went over to the paper and tried to read it but couldn't. She handed it to Sesshomaru who took it and read it for himself.

This is what it says:

Kikimaru

I'm terrible sorry for all that has happened within the past few weeks for you. I know you try so hard to help the villages and the city and I'm proud of you for it. I'm very sorry to say though but I'm writing this letter to you as a final goodbye, but please don't be sad for me. For now I can be with you forever in spirit and with your mother in happiness. Please do me one thing, stay on your journey and find what ever makes you happy. Don't bother to come to the city it's in good hands of your younger sister.

Love you and hope you stay safe, Father
