Okay so I should be doing my homework, but it's just so hard to concentrate when I have this story in my head and I haven't even gotten to the good part yet, you know? Anyway, I hope everyone who reads this enjoys these fast updates, because I promise that not all of them will be so fast...Thanks for reading!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha...I do not own Sesshoumaru...but if I did...well...let's just get on with the story, k?

Chapter 4

Meanwhile, a sleeping human was being poked by a certain green imp. "Pathetic human. Such hideous features, too. Really Lord Sesshoumaru, is this necessary? Must we keep this little wretch around?"

"Silence Jaken."

"But my lord, she's…"

"She will not be with us long, Jaken. As soon as I get my father's fang, I am going to kill her and Inuyasha."

Jaken sighed in relief. Having Rin around was bad enough, but two humans would be unbearable. "How long do you think that will be?"

"Did I not tell you to be quiet?"

"Yes, my lord…"

Bella stirred and slowly opened her eyes only to see Jaken standing in front of her. "Ahhhhhh…it's a toad man. Oh my gosh….my worst nightmare has come true. I hate frogs…gross….stay away Stay away STAY AWAY!"

In an instant, Sesshoumaru had her pinned to a tree. "You will keep your voice down, woman."

"Y…you're…ch…choking me…"

He growled low, "How insightful…" Then he released his hold on her.

"Hey…was that sarcasm? And you acted like you didn't know what it was earlier…"

"I don't."

"But you just…ugh, never mind. Just keep the toad thing away from me."

Red flecks appeared in his golden eyes as they narrowed at her. "You are in no position to be giving me orders, human filth."

"Hey, I took a shower before I came here this morning, thank you very much! If I'm filthy it's probably because you drug me through the dirt while I was unconscious or something!"

Sesshoumaru groaned inwardly. She must be pretending she doesn't know that I meant all humans are filth…unworthy of my presence. Surely mortals aren't that incompetent. "You will be silent now!"

"You can't tell me what t…" His claws flexed menacingly. Bella gulped and rethought what she was going to say, deciding it was best to just sit down and shut up. Okay, so maybe he can tell me what to do…Ugh…this is terrible. I should've never gone through that stupid well. I knew it was just too good to be true! Of course, Bella…leave it to you to get yourself kidnapped by some evil demon lord in Feudal Japan…some really, really sexy demon lord with amazing hair and golden eyes and…Oh man, what am I doing! Stop fantasizing about him! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

"Stop what?"

She looked up at him, "What? I didn't say anything!"

"I distinctly heard you saying, 'Stop it.' Do not accuse this Sesshoumaru of lying, and do not even suggest that I am mistaken. I, Sesshoumaru, am never mistaken."

Geez…arrogant much? What a jerk! I should get up, march right over to him and…and…NO! Not that! "I um…had a bad thought," she finally answered.

"Hm." With that he walked away from her and stood at the edge of the nearby forest.

"What's he doing?" She asked no one in particular.

"Stupid girl! He's keeping an out for potential threats…and for Inuyasha."

"EEP!" Oh no, not frog-man again…Ugh…he's staring at me, with those bug eyes…I wish this were Frogger then I could run him over. Then it dawned on her. Did he say this guy was looking out for Inuyasha! "Wait, Inuyasha's coming?"

"Hmph…it's only a matter of time before he gets here and tries a pathetic attempt to save you." Jaken said nonchalantly. Then he eyed her with disgust. "Although I don't know why anyone would bother saving you! You're such an ugly human wench!"

"Oh, that's it…I don't care if you do look like a frog, you wart-infested toad, I'm going to beat you so hard you'll shrink from two feet to two inches…" She jumped up and began chasing him around the tree

"GAHHHHHH! Lord Sesshoumaru, help me. Please Lord Sesshoumaru!"

"Human."

Bella froze in her tracks. How did he get in front of her so fast!
"Leave Jaken alone."

"But he started it!"

"Enough!"

Gulp. "Yeah…sure thing…heheheh…" Man, why does he have to be such a pompous, arrogant…unbelievably beautiful…hmmm...I'm hopeless…completely hopeless.

Bella was completely lost in her thoughts until she noticed how close Sesshoumaru's face had gotten to hers. He appeared to be…perplexed about something.

"What?" She asked innocently. Oh please tell me he can't read my mind…

"Why does your face change colors human?"

What? My face changes colors? What the…oh…oh man…he means…heheheh…oops. "It's uh…it's called a blush."

"What is the purpose of this 'blush'?"

"I um…people…humans…blush whenever they're embarrassed or ashamed about something…"

"And what were you thinking just now, Woman, that would make you…blush?"

Oh, she wanted to slap that condescending look right off his face! How could he be that infuriating with hardly any expression at all? Sure, he'd raised an eyebrow at her a time or two, but that didn't really count. "I um…nothing."

"Do not tell lies to this Sesshoumaru. They will work against you."

"I was just thinking about this guy…who's really handsome…and I…it made me blush, okay! Geez…"

The tai-youkai cocked his head to the side. "Odd…"

Odd? All that and all he has to say is "odd?" What the crap! Where is he going now anyway? Man, why can't guys back home look like him…but act like normal? Okay, maybe not normal…all guys are jerks…he's just so uncaring about the whole thing that it makes me…

"Excuse me, pretty lady?"

The little was looking up at her and smiling brightly. In her outstretched hand was a small bouquet of wildflowers. "Yes?" Bella answered, trying her hardest to smile back.

"I picked these for you. You seemed sad in your sleep, and I thought these flowers would cheer you up!"

"Oh, thank you, um…what's your name?"

"Rin."

"Right, thank you, Rin."

"You're welcome, pretty lady."

"Why don't you call me Bella, okay?"

"Hai. Bella…" She giggled and then ran to the demon's side. "Lord Sesshoumaru, the pretty lady…I mean Bella…took my flowers!"

"Hn."

"Lord Sesshoumaru?"

He looked down at the little girl in annoyance. "Nani?"

"Why is she here? Did you save her, too? Like you saved me?"

"No."

"Is she going to be taking care of me? Is she my new mommy?"

"No, Rin."

She pouted, lowering her eyes and puffing out her lower lip. "But…"

"Go play with Jaken."

"Hai…"

Sesshoumaru really needed to think. His foolish half brother and the rest of those idiots were close, which should have satisfied him. Somehow, though, he felt a bit disappointed about the whole situation. Glancing over at the girl, he caught her staring at him. Once she realized he was watching her, she looked down, but not before the great tai-youkai noticed the red tint of her cheeks. She's embarrassed again…why? Then he understood. Disgusting…this human finds me attractive. I should have known. I cannot have her staring at me constantly. It will prove quite bothersome. I must take care of this problem soon. Sesshoumaru was so busy trying to figure out how to get her to stop staring at him that he didn't even realize he was staring at her.

Hmm...so the ending to this chapter isn't all that great, is it? It actually wasn't the ending I wanted, but I had to stop and actually do my STUPID STUPID STUPID homework...amazing how life gets in the way of things, huh? Anyway, please review...I don't care if you really like the story or not, I just want to know that people are actually reading it...PLEASE!
