Chapter 3

Kikimaru had found a spot next to the waterfall on a rock. She sat there curled in a ball looking at the ripples in the water. Her eyes were tired from her crying and her head started to hurt, but she sat there motionless to everything around her. The lost of her father was killing her inside.

When Sesshomaru was done reading the letter he looked in the direction that Kikimaru had ran off in. He felt sad for her, and then he felt a tug on his robe and looked down. Rin was looking up at him with sad in her eyes. "What's wrong my lord?"

"Rin stay with Jaken I need to find Kikimaru and we need to talk. . . Jaken stay here and wait till I come back" said Sesshomaru. Rin had jumped on to Ah-Un along with Jaken. With that motion the dragon took off to the sky.

Sesshomaru had started to walk in the direction that Kikimaru had stormed off in. He looked left and right as he looked for her. He continued in the forest until he caught Kikimaru's scent. He followed it to the waterfall she had been sitting near.

Sesshomaru looked all around the edge of the water but didn't see her there. He walked up to the waters edge and looked at the water for a minute; he watched the water flow down the river to the forest. Looking back up he noticed that Kikimaru's clothes were folded on a rock. (She's still wearing her inner robe you pervert's )

Kikimaru had been standing under the waterfall looking inwards to the cave that was behind it. Her hair had been taken out and was dripping wet, Sesshomaru noticed that on her face she had a blank stare and was showing no emotions. He could tell she had been crying he can smell it in the air, the salt water of tears.

He moved closer to her trying to see if she would react to his movement. But she did nothing. He finally got close enough were he put his hand on her shoulder. Her head slowly look turned and her eyes looked up to Sesshomaru's.

Her color returned to her eyes and she walked away, grabbing her clothes and dressing, but she left her hair down. It was long, about to the small of her back. When she returned she sat down on the rock she had been perched on earlier.

"I never though the loss of my father would be so hard." She said breaking the silence between them. Sesshomaru looked over at her and saw she had tears in her eyes, she quickly wiped them away. "Even though I still have family (her little sister, Mitsukai), but what if she dies then I'm all alone. Even though I live alone I have never been alone of my family. There's always someone that's there." She was talking even more to make her self feel worse.

"I don't have much sadness for you because even though my father was apart of my life too, he chose to love a human and die for her. For that I hated him and chose to forget about him." Sesshomaru said this coldly

Kikimaru then took in what Sesshomaru said and thought about this more in her head. "Your right" she said standing up and jumping down from the rock. Sesshomaru was confused; he thought that what he said had made her feel worse (not like he was trying to).

"I'm going to keep going because I would be letting my fathers wish down, and worth nothing. No matter how sad I am, I won't forget the good times we had. But I'll keep moving on just to make my life worth what I can." She continued.

Wiping the last of her tears away she looked at Sesshomaru and smiled a little, not so much it was a laugh but more like a little smirk with her eyes half open. Sesshomaru could see she was hiding the pain behind her eyes, but he didn't want the feeling that she gave him right now to be gone.

His only reaction was a hug that was soft and sweet, she was shocked at the unexpected motion that she gave it back to show it helped comfort her.

Rin and Jaken were sitting by a fire that had fish cooking on the side. They had enough so if Kikimaru and Sesshomaru came back they could eat too. "Jaken?" Rin said looking in the sky. It is sunset and you could just barely see the first light of the stars. Jaken looked at Rin, she noticed the motion and continued. "Do you like Lady Kikimaru? Lord Sesshomaru seems happier too." Jaken didn't answer because he knew that Rin was right.

"So, I have one question if you don't mind? But back at the end of our fight you said that I was perfect. What did you mean by that?" Kikimaru said, looking back to the water waiting for an answer. Sesshomaru thought back to the moment, and remembered why he said that. "I have a little brother that I would like you to kill if you don't mind. Can you do it?"

"Tell me what he looks like and I will consider it an honor." She said looking at him. "His name is Inuyasha, but he is not like us he is a half-breed. That's why I want him killed, because it would do the world good if he was gone." He smirked and walked away.

Kikimaru got off the rock and followed him. "Are we going now?" she said walking next to him. "Yes." Was all he said. Kikimaru liked the idea of traveling with him alone, the more she thought the more she would be loyal to him.

They traveled for about two days and it was driving Kikimaru insane, she or Sesshomaru had not really said a word since they left the waterfall. Every time she tried to make conversation he gave her a look out of the corner of his eye. It kind of freaked her out.

They reached a trail that ran through the forest. Kikimaru had been zoning and ran into Sesshomaru. He gave her a glare and looked around; she rubbed her forehead and looked around too. "There's a clearing just up ahead, we will rest there." He said.

They got to the clearing and Kikimaru fell on the ground in a sunned area, lying on her back with her arms and legs spread to take in the sun. She sighed and closed her eyes, one of her favorite things to do, bask in the sun.

Sesshomaru was tired too but he sat away from the sun, under one of the trees surrounding the clearing. He had been ignoring her for the past few days because he needed time to think about things, about his feelings for Kikimaru. He knew that she was perfect, just like him, and strong. But the main thing that he considered was that she was a neko and he was an inu.

Kikimaru opened her eyes and saw that he was near a tree. She got up and walked to him but he didn't move or anything. She lay back down and used his lap as a pillow. His eyes opened and looked down at her. He saw that she had fallen asleep, he put his hand on her head and she steered a little. He ran his fingers through her loose hair, he liked it down and her scent of flower blossoms filled his nose. As he pets her on the head while she slept she made a purring noise.

Nightfall had come around and Sesshomaru had woken to Kikimaru sitting and gazing at the stars. He could see her cat like eyes in slits as the gold of her eyes reflected the starry sky. His head hung so his hair covered his eyes, he didn't want to bother her thought. "My Father and Mother are up there; maybe they met your parents. Maybe?" She said, then her head hung and she sighed.

Sesshomaru got up from his position under the tree and walked to face her. He knelled down and grabbed her chin so he could see her face, oddly he saw no emotion on her face but her eyes were filled with rage and broken love.

Her eyes had made him dizzy and want her more then before. He moved closer and when he was less then an inch she realized how close he was but she didn't move. She blushed and froze as she felt his breath getting warmer and she couldn't take it, he was toying with her being so close. Kikimaru closed the gap between their mouths, but their kiss didn't last long. Sesshomaru pushed her away and went back to his spot under the tree.

Kikimaru was shocked that he just left, did he not like her? Maybe he just didn't like her the way she liked him. She sat on the other side of the clearing in a tree, and fell asleep.

Sesshomaru watched as she slept and thought why he stopped their kiss. He did enjoy the feeling of her lips on his but he didn't want it to go too far. He liked her so much to the point that we will call it love. He didn't want to let his feelings get in the way of other things, or put her in danger at that. If his enemies knew his weakness was her then they would use her on him as a weapon.

Morning had come way too fast to believe that it was six hours ago since last spoken about. Sesshomaru woke to see that Kikimaru had moved from her spot under the tree to the branches over him. She was indeed a cat because of the way she slept in the trees, balancing on a single branch legs and arms hanging from ether side along with her tail twitching every now and then.

Sesshomaru watched her sleep until her ear twitched and she leaped to the ground that he barely saw her do it. "What's going on? What did you hear?" he asked. "I think we have a demon guest. But … not full demon … only half." She said looking around. "There in that direction." She pointed to the west.

"Yeah that's him; I think here is a fair place for the fight." Sesshomaru said standing in front of Kikimaru. "You know this demon?" she said looking around him to see his face. His face was serious and angrier then anything she had seen before. "That demon is my brother, the one that I wanted you to get rid of."

"I can smell him around here, what dose he want with me this time? Oh well. I'm up to what ever."

After a few seconds Inuyasha ran out of the forest into the clearing with tetsigua unsheathed and ready for the usual battle. "Ok Sesshomaru what do you want this time?" Inuyasha asked. "If you don't mind I would like to keep this short and leave."

"Dear brother, why speak so mean to me when I have done nothing. I'm sorry to disappoint you again but I'm not going to be the one to kill you I am sad to say, but it was nice that your life was short." Sesshomaru said.

Stepping aside, Sesshomaru revealed Kikimaru standing behind him. "So this is Inuyasha? Cute…but…. You would look better dead." She said laughing. "Shut up you bitch." Said Inuyasha, picking up the tetsigua and pointing the blade at Kikimaru. She stopped laughing and took a step towards him.

"Well your no fun, I think this battle will be just boring. I'll toy with you for a while, I need a good exercise." She said stretching her arms. "You talk big but can you back it up?" Asking Inuyasha cocky like. "Actually… I can. How about you?" She spat.

Sesshomaru took distance because he knew that if she was going to toy with him first, then he would want to see everything.

Inuyasha and Kikimaru stared each other down for about a minute. Inuyasha lunged foreword and held tetsigua tight ready to attack. He swung the huge sword and it hit Kikimaru dead on…
