-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Previously…

Attempting to stand and face her opposer, Kira's legs shook violently as she dug her claws into the wall to support herself. Kira was never one to back down from a fight, but her body didn't agree and collapsed despite her efforts to remain fighting.

Sinking down involuntarily to her knees, Kira bowed her head in defeat just as Sesshomaru rounded the corner.

---

Kira raised her head slowly and gazed sadly into the amber eyes of the demon lord.

"What do you want?"

All of her pain was reflected in the simple question, but even as she said it, Kira eyed Sesshomaru suspiciously, waiting for him to come close enough for her to vent her pent up rage on him.

Sesshomaru took two steps forward, ignoring Kira's growl of warning, and stopped, squatting in front of her and watching her contently.

Kira bared her fangs tiredly, and backed farther against the wall to get away from him. The claws of her right hand were still jammed deeply in the wall from when she tried to get up, and she tugged her arm towards her, trying to dislodge them.

As she began to panic fearfully, Sesshomaru could feel her aura changing slightly, her emotions weighing heavily in the air as they took over her completely. He watched her quietly as she tried to escape his presence, but as hard as he tried, he couldn't call up enough of his cold personality to be amused by the image before him, instead it made him feel sick, a feeling he had never before felt in his life.

The beautiful demoness before him was completely helpless. Trapped to the wall by her own claws, her physical pain only allowing the most basic of movements and her emotional state blinding her from reality, making it impossible for her to function properly enough to even think of how to free herself.

Sesshomaru reached forward and grasped the wrist of her trapped hand gently. His touch startled Kira and she slashed forward with her free hand blindly, her eyes wide and unseeing. Sesshomaru easily blocked the blow and grabbed her other wrist as it cut through the air towards him, trapping that one as well so that Kira was completely defenseless.

Sesshomaru sighed as Kira turned to look at him, her eyes were glazed over in confusion and she couldn't understand what was going on. She watched Sesshomaru fearfully as he gently tightened his grasp on her wrist and lightly yanked it out of the wall, freeing her claws from her self-inflicted trap. Kira continued to stare at him with wide-eyed innocence, and as Sesshomaru glanced back up at her face, he had to do a double take when he saw her eyes. Usually her eyes were a deep royal purple speckled with black and rimmed with gold, but now as he looked into her astonishing orbs, they shifted in waves between the three colors eerily.

"Lady Kira?"

Kira jumped at the sudden sound of his voice and her eyes widened further. She didn't recognize him at all. Her fear had blinded her to such a degree that, as her heart flitted like a startled rabbit in her chest and her breathing became shallow, she was convinced that the dog demon was going to kill her.

Sesshomaru didn't know what was wrong with her, or why she would look at him in such a manner, but despite his confusion he released her wrists, allowing her to skitter away from him as soon as she was freed.

But she didn't move.

Kira continued to stare openly at Sesshomaru, tracing his features with her eyes, hardly breathing for fear that the sound would cause him to rush at her and slit her throat. As these thoughts played through her mind, she saw them happening before her, as though watching a film clip revealing how her death would occur – at the claws of the white haired youkai.

'This woman has gone mad.' Sesshomaru thought.

He remained composed on the outside, but was utterly confused throughout.

'How in the seven hells am I supposed to repay my dept to a mad woman?'

Kira just continued watching him, and as her gaze passed over his amber eyes, the movie in her mind stopped. This demon wasn't going to kill her, in fact he hadn't moved at all, just watched her calmly as she died again and again in her mind.

A strange emotion flickered in the golden eyes, as the two demons studied each other, and something clicked in Kira's mind.

A flicker of remembrance flashed over her features before her fear disappeared and was replaced by the terror of not understanding what was happening to herself.

'What is wrong with me?'

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the voice echoing through his head as he searched her eyes for clues of how she was doing this.

"You are having an emotional breakdown." He said out loud, unsure of how to communicate with her when she was in his head.

If she was in his head, could she read his thoughts? Could she see what he saw, know what he knew? Sesshomaru didn't like that idea at all, but if there was some way in using this new development to his advantage, he would accept it, but not without being cautious. He didn't know the extent of her power, and wasn't exactly willing to test it.

Kira cocked her head to the side slightly as though trying to see as much of Sesshomaru as she could, her color shifting orbs fixed on his amber ones.

Her eyes flashed in recognition and she smiled gently as she brushed her hand lightly across his cheek, watching her own fingers as they traced the red markings under his eyes, before looking back into his amber gaze.

"Sesshomaru." She sighed the name, the syllables coming out barely in a whisper.

Kira's expression suddenly went blank as she sighed in exhaustion, her smile fading, and the coloring of her eyes once again returning to their original state, before she hesitantly crawled into his lap and curled up against his chest.

Sesshomaru looked down at her huddled form as she looked to him for comfort and he couldn't figure out what had brought this sudden show of desperate affection from the girl.

Blaming it on her out-of-control emotions, he slid an arm under the crook of her legs carefully and wrapped the other around her back, bringing her closer against his chest as he stood up and made his way to her room, Kira nestled safely in his arms.

---

As Sesshomaru carried Kira through the mazes of passages expertly, she seemed to be returning to her corrective mindset.

Very.

Slowly.

She hummed a tuneless song to herself as she traced circles on Sesshomaru's chest happily, every now and then looking up to smile broadly at the demon lord before returning to her play.

Sesshomaru sighed mentally every time she did this, and silently prayed to the gods to speed up her recovery, her happy and child-like attitude was putting him on edge.

Sesshomaru walked through the many hallways for nearly ten minutes before finally reaching the sliding door leading into the room Kira was staying in.

Pushing it open smoothly, Sesshomaru glided into the room silently and gently discarded Kira on the bed. She tucked her legs underneath her as she was released and looked up at him innocently.

As Sesshomaru turned his back and made to exit the room, Kira spoke up, her voice quiet and confused.

"Sesshomaru-sama?"

Sesshomaru stopped midway to the door and turned his head to show he had heard her.

"Are you angry with me?"

He sighed quietly, already willing himself to be back in his study.

"No Kira, I am not angry with you," he said, turning around to look at her.

Kira looked sad and uncertain as she played with the stitching on her kimono.

Tracing a claw along the golden outline of a large purple flower on the thigh of her outfit, she chewed on her bottom lip anxiously, as if trying to decide what to say. Sesshomaru fought back a growl at her uncertainty. Lady Kira was NOT one to be uncertain, that much had been made perfectly clear the first time he had seen her.

"Stop doing that."

Kira stiffened at his tone and slowly raised her head to look up at him. Her bottom lip was still trapped under her teeth, and her fangs dug into the soft skin dangerously, Sesshomaru could already see the bruises forming.

Sesshomaru raised his chin slightly and looked down at Kira. Recognizing his body language, she immediately released her slightly swollen lip and began to grovel pathetically.

Bowing her head, she submitted to Sesshomaru by showing her neck and she refused to meet his gaze. She yipped quietly, begging forgiveness in the inu-youkai language as she continued to fidget with the her kimono.

The demon inside of him growled approvingly at the sight of the demoness cowering under his power, but somehow Sesshomaru didn't swell with masculine pride. Instead he felt like beheading her for such show of weakness. Such a strong woman should never bow down to anyone; she was insulting herself to do so.

Sesshomaru briskly strode forward, causing Kira to flinch at his powerful stride, and towered over her when he stopped in front of her.

"Stop this Kira."

Kira simply yipped submissively again without looking at him, and Sesshomaru's temper flared.

"Look at me." He snapped, forcefully grasping her chin and yanking her face upward towards him. Kira's eyes widened at his aggressiveness towards her and stared frightfully into his eyes. He was glaring at her, his eyes narrowed, his pupils barely slits, and what was worse, his grip on her chin was gradually increasing, making his hold on her almost painful. Kira may be scared, but she wasn't going to roll over on her back for this overly egotistical dog. He was hurting her and she was NOT going to stand for that.

Fear completely drowned out by her anger, Kira began to remember herself and as Sesshomaru continued to add more pressure to his grip, Kira's eyes began to bleed red.

"Don't you dare touch me." She snarled, her warning barely audible. Sesshomaru heard though and smirked, grasping her chin a little tighter.

"I said," she whispered icily, barely able to keep herself from transforming, "don't TOUCH ME!"

Kira launched herself from the bed, intent on hurting Sesshomaru, and collided viciously with his chest, causing both demons to lose their balance. As they fell, Kira somehow managed to fall under Sesshomaru with him on top of her, and she replayed her last action in her mind to try and figure out how she had gotten there, she had been trying to knock him down, not end up underneath him. His weight pressed down on her, though not uncomfortably, and she could feel his even breathing against her chest as his ribs expanded to take in the air. She shifted angrily to try to escape and Sesshomaru smirked.

"Hm. Interesting move lady Kira, but I daresay you could do better."

Kira snarled and threw him off furiously. Sesshomaru landed on his feet smirking as Kira pushed herself off of the ground. Fighting against her rage, and her battle instincts, Kira reluctantly turned her back on the demon lord, wanting desperately to slash him to pieces.

"Don't even start Sesshomaru, I will not be toyed with." She ground out through clenched teeth.

Hugging herself around the waist she bit on her tongue angrily in an attempt to stamp down her transformation instincts.

"Having trouble containing yourself? I apologize if I'm not much help."

Kira whirled around to face him and grasped him around the throat with one clawed hand before he could react. Sesshomaru didn't move to block her off, and simply watched her. Her teeth were clenched tightly and her breathing was heavy, as though her forced controlled anger was causing her pain.

"Don't push me Sesshomaru." She dug her claws threateningly into the skin of his throat as she spoke, but barely deep enough to draw blood, her actions only served as a warning and she bared her teeth before releasing him roughly and storming out the door.

Sesshomaru watched her go before silently following. Pissing her off was extremely entertaining on his part.

Kira nearly flew down the long hallways and passages of Sesshomaru's castle, and she gladly noted that she had quickly gotten herself lost. Every flight of stairs she came across she ran up, trying to get as far away from Sesshomaru's scent as possible.

Gasping for air, she finally reached a door at the top of a dizzying circular stairwell, and shoved it open violently. Warm air slammed in her face, and the sound of blowing wind filled her sensitive ears. She had closed her eyes as soon as she had opened the door, and now allowed her senses to guide her. Her aura begged to be released to explore her surroundings and protect her, but Kira easily quieted down it's request.

She didn't want protection right now, she just needed herself brought back to her.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, Kira used it to calm her raging spirit.

Dropping her arms to her sides, she took a gentle step forward, her sight blackened and her aura frantically pleading for its release to guard her, from herself if nothing else. Moving slowly, almost sad in her movements, Kira was perfectly content. Gusts of welcomed air brushed past her curiously, gently pressing against her body and flowing through the thin silk kimono covering her slender form.

Opening her eyes, Kira gasped at what she saw. She stood at the top of the highest tower of the castle. Stone railings surrounded it protectively, blocking in where she stood.

Vast green forests opened up before her, nearly a mile below where she stood, stretching as far as her demon eyes could see. She couldn't breathe, she was so small compared to all of this. She was hypnotized by the idea and it sent involuntary shivers down her spine. Her past seemed to rush back to her as she watched the rippling boughs of the trees far below her. She stood staring out at the lands and yet at nothing for longer than she could have ever imagined.

The high screeching call of an eagle demon startled her out of her out of her reverie and her head snapped up to gaze in the direction of the mountains, towering over the trees with their sheer cliffs and angry pointed peaks.

Her breath coming out in short pants, unable to take the sight anymore, she turned back to run back through the doorway and away from the hidden maliciousness of the lands she wondered over.

Kira whipped around to escape the sight and nearly collided into the great white haired demon lord of the castle himself – Sesshomaru.

She gasped and stumbled back, cursing herself for not allowing her aura to watch out for her.

"What do you want? Haven't you followed me enough today? I would have thought you would have had enough fun by now." She snapped after quickly regaining herself.

Sesshomaru didn't answer, and turned his gaze to the view.

Kira crossed her arms and glared at him, but of course, he didn't acknowledge her.

"Get out of my way you worthless bastard."

Sesshomaru's eyes flickered red before he gained control and turned his sight on the girl before him.

She wasn't allowing any emotion to show and kept her expression as angry as she could.

"No."

Kira, surprisingly, just shrugged, confusing Sesshomaru slightly, but he didn't let it get to him.

"Alright."

Kira turned back around to face the forest and, without warning, leapt over the edge to fall the mile long drop.

Sesshomaru eyes widened and he went to the edge of the railing, waiting to see her broken body at the base of his castle when he looked down.

---

Kira closed her eyes as the air rushed up past her and smiled lightly, her arms spread out at her sides as though she were truly flying. She felt like she was soaring above it all and as her dark kimono whipped around her she finally felt free. The air seemed endless as she fell, but it ended eventually, and as solid ground rushed up to swallow her, Kira rose to meet it with a dangerous glint in her eye.

THERE WILL BE A SEVENTH CHAPTER! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HURT ME BECAUSE OF THE END OF THIS CHAPTER! But if this had been the end of the story, I must say…I would have been a REALLY sucky ending…

Anyway…I hope you liked this chapter, it was really hard to write actually…so I hope you enjoyed!

Any tips or suggestions on how to improve this story, or my writing in general are welcome in reviews or e-mails.

I also have a favor to ask of you readers…I have started two other Inuyasha fanficcies (one based off my life, and another normal fanfic) while I'm working on this one, and I would absolutely LOVE it if you read them and reviewed! I need help with names as well, if there are any suggestions…
