Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Last time:
"My Lord, dinner is ready." Jaken popped his head in the door to warn his Lord but found that the study was loaded with people.
/
After dinner the women decided to take a nice bath in the private hot springs.
"This feels great after so much traveling." said Kagome.
"I know. Its nice not having to worry about that monk trying to sneak a peak." said Sango.
"How strange for a monk. Maybe..I've been gone too long?" said Meilee. 'Yeah right, I know the…wait I thought I knew the story. Oh no! I'm starting to lose my memory. Meilee! What's happening.'
'It must be because you've been here to long already. Each day you'll lose a memory. We'll have to hurry and find out why you're here.'
"Kagome, do you ever wonder why you are here? I mean, why you were sent to the past from your present?" asked Meilee.
"Well, I guess it was to help out. That's the only thing I can think of." They three women relaxed in silence for the remainder of the bath when they heard someone near by.
"What is it?" asked Meilee.
"My Lady, my Lord asked that you finish with your bath and get some rest." sad the maid.
"Very well. You may go."
'That jerk. I should give him a piece of my mind. What does he think I am? I'll show...
"Meilee, we should probably get going. It is late and we've been here for a while." said Sango. With that the girls got dressed and headed to their rooms.
"Its about time. That damn hanyu is getting on my last nerves." said Sesshoumaru.
"Need I remind you Sesshoumaru that I am a hanyu and your mate not your property. I am not yours to command. I will be sleeping in my old room. Have a good night!" With that Meilee stomped off. Before long she realized that she had gotten herself lost. 'Stupid Sesshoumaru. Its all his fault. If there was a couch to send him on that's where he'd be. See how he likes being alone. ….Um, where am I? Unfortunately for Meilee, she hadn't been looking where she was going, nor was she paying attention. As she walked she bumped into something hard.
"You've been wandering in circles," said Sesshoumaru.
"Damn!"
"Its morning, they can leave." said Sesshoumaru.
"I don't even know who you are anymore," said Meilee. "I think I'll go visit my family's ruins. I'll be Back in two days."
"No, you will stay where it is safe."
"If you're so worried then why don't you come with me. You don't seem to be busy anyways. Otherwise, you'd be in your study." said Meilee.
"My concern right now is the safety of my mate."
"Well then, I'll take that as a yes. By the way, Inuyasha and his friends are coming. Hurry so we can leave." Meilee then walked out of their bedroom and Sesshoumaru stood in the room with his mask showing. Of course, he was ready to burst with anger but he would never show it.
"Are you sure its alright for you to come with us?" asked Sango
In front of them, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru walked and sent glares back and forth between eachother. How Meilee managed to get Sesshoumaru to agree on coming was a mystery.
Flashback
"I refuse to let you go." said Sesshoumaru.
"You don't have a choice. I'm going. Why stay and argue. I want to go visit they're grave. Is that so much to ask?" said Meilee. As she spoke a tear ran down her cheek.
"There's something else. Why do you need me to come?"
"I don't. You need yourself to come. There is word that a miasma is setting there. As the daughter of the former ruler, I must go and see that it is secure." Just then, a growl could be heard from Sesshoumaru.
"That bastard will pay, my love." Meilee walked over to him and he puller her into a tight embrace. "I swear to you I will kill him for you. He will not live with what he has done."
"Thank you, Sesshou." Meilee smiled. Memories of their childhood and teenage years flashed in her head.
"When this is over, I want to plant flowers there. Just for them."
"Whatever you desire."
End of Flashback
"They're so stubborn." said Kagome.
"You could cut the tension with a sword." said Miroku.
"Hey monk, I dare you to revert to your womanizing ways this time." said Sango.
"Why, Sango, you think so little of me. I value my life thank you."
"You guys really shouldn't worry so much. I'm sure that they'll be civil on this journey." said Meilee.
The group traveled all day and decided to stop come nightfall. The men left in search of dinner while the girls stayed at the site.
"I'm worried about them. They shouldn't be alone." said Sango.
"They'll be fine. This will hopefully help them to get closer. They were never close before but Sesshoumaru was never as ….how do I explain? I guess you could say he had a tolerance , a very high one, for Inuyasha."
"Really? He seems like the opposite from what he use to be." said Kagome.
"I'm afraid that it might be his reaction to my absence. He swears that he doesn't think I left on my own but his subconscious thinks I did. I feel horrible. Its my fault and I plan to fix it."
"But it couldn't be your fault. You were kidnapped." said Kagome.
"Meilee, why don't you tell us about your life." said Sango.
"Well, there isn't much interesting about my life."
"Of course there is. What I want to know is how you met Sesshoumaru." said Kagome.
"If you insist. It was such a long time ago."
/ Story
Lord InuTaisho and my father were great friends. We were visiting they're kingdom. I had never been there before. My father had decided to take me along this time. My mother had died at my brother's birth so he was the only parent I had. He sent me to go play in the garden and my brother stayed with him.
When I got there, I was in awe. There he was. The handsomest guy I had ever seen. I was around 10 back then but what does age have to do with it. Anyways, I really wasn't used to meeting people so I was really shy.
"Um, hi" I said, later he told me I was blushing and he refuses to admit it but so was he.
"I see you have found my son," said InuTaisho. "Meilee, this is Sesshoumaru, my son. Sesshoumaru this is Meilee, daughter on my good friend Leesayo."
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Meilee" said Sesshoumaru as he took my hand and kissed it. He was such a gentlemen. From behind my father, my brother poked his head out. Sesshoumaru looked over at him.
"This is my son, Nishen. Forgive his manners. He is only a toddler." my father said.
"Hello." said Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru, our guests will be staying here for a few days so I leave it to you to be a good host to Lady Meilee. Understood," said InuTaisho.
"Yes, father," said Sesshoumaru. "Let us go, old friend, there is much to talk about." They left us alone. From that point on every time we visited, Sesshoumaru was at my side.
/End
"How romantic. Even at such a young age you and Sesshoumaru were meant for each other." said Kagome.
"If only all guys were gentlemen." said Sango.
"I seem to remember a time when someone wasn't so ladylike," said a voice.
"You know, if you wanted to tell stories all you had to do was ask. No need to eavesdrop." said Meilee.
"We were walking through the forest were we not?" said Sesshoumaru.
"That story? I'm sure they don't really care for it."
"Did we hear Ms. Perfect not being lady like? This is gonna be good," said Inuyasha as he and Miroku started preparing food with Sango.
Sesshoumaru then began to tell the story.
"It was a bright summer day when we had decided to take a walk outside the palace grounds. We were still young."
"I was around your age Kagome. Sesshoumru is five years older then me. We still hadn't really admitted that we loved each other but the signs were there. We were just to oblivious to see it." Meilee interrupted.
" All was going very quiet until this demoness spotted me and kept trying to advance at me. I politely told her no but she wouldn't leave me alone."
/ Flashback
"Aren't you a cutey. Wanna ditch the little girl? I'm sure you're looking for some real fun." she said. She had red hair that reached her lower back and she was wearing a revealing black dress.
"No thank you . Now if you'll excuse me…"
"Aw, don't be like that. I'm sure you'll have great time."
"You heard him. He said no. I suggest you leave immediately." Meilee stepped in front of the demoness.
"Oh really, I'm sure he can speak for himself."
"He did and you just haven't been listening. What's the matter? Too stupid to understand no?"
"Step aside you little brat or I'll make you."
"Wanna bet. Sesshoumaru doesn't like whores. Get lost." At those words, the demoness lunged at Meilee. Her effort was in vain. Meilee spun ad landed a kick right in stomach. The girl dropped to her knees.
"Now what were you going to do?"
"I… was…just leaving"
"That's what I thought. If I ever catch you near Sesshoumaru again I'll tear you apart. Got that bitch?" The girl didn't answer. She just ran and never looked back.
"No way." said Inuyasha. You actually fought someone."
"Its not like I had a choice."
"If I remember correctly, that night I proposed to you." After he said this, Meilee looked up at Sesshoumaru who sat beside her to see him smiling down at her. He's smiling. Maybe it won't take long for him to melt his heart after all. I'm glad.
