"I'm tired. Are we getting close to where ever you're taking me? Can we al least stop so I can use the restroom?" Tsuki pleaded.

Sesshoumaru finally stopped. He said nothing, but gave her a look that said, "If you try to run, you'll die." She walked to the river that was a few feet away. She jumped in. she swam around for a few minuets.

"It's getting dark. Hurry up," he said coldly glaring at Tsuki.

She walked over to him, "Come get me."

She ran to the river and stood there. Sesshoumaru looked distastefully at her, and walked over. She ducked when he went to grab her shoulder. She grabbed his wrist and flipped him over into the river. He stood up. His eyes turning red.

"You need to learn your place wench," he said deadly to Tsuki.

"I'm not a wench, you bastard," Tsuki yelled at him.

He grabbed her and pulled her into the water. She thrashed trying to hit him any ware and every ware. All of a sudden he held her at arms length, looking her square in the eyes.

"Do you know who I am? Why are you not scared of me?" Sesshoumaru asked. Hiding his intrigues ness from her.

"No clue who you are, and I have no reason to be scared of you when I'm not scared of death," she answered calmly.

"I am Lord Sesshoumaru, lord of the western lands. I could kill you in a split second if I wanted to," he said.

"So, I don't care if you rule the world, I am no ones lore," she snapped.

He threw her over his shoulder and jumped toward the setting sun. She tried to adjust her self and ends up slipping. He grabs her and decided it was safer to carry her bridal style. She feels safe even though she's being kid napped. She falls asleep. When she wakes up she noticed she was in a black silk bed, with crescent moon patterns.

"Where am I? Uh.. My head is killing me." She says looking around, dazed.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, the girl has woken up! Lord Sesshoumaru!" yells a little imp/toad like thing.

Sesshoumaru walks in the room saying, "Leave us Jaken." The toad obeys.

"So are you going to tell me what it is you want from me?" Tsuki asked.

"No," Sesshoumaru replies.

"Why? Do I not have a right to know the reason of my taking?" Tsuki urged.

"Fine, if you will calm down. My half brother InuYasha and I aren't… close… he also has some thing that should be mine, for that reason we have problems. I'm finally sick of his half-breed existence so I have taken you to lore him to me. If you cooperate I'll not kill you," Sesshoumaru said coolly.

They just looked at each other in silence for a while. She broke the eye contact. She looked around her new environment. She stood up, flexing her muscles. She stretched, walking over to the window.

"Why did you take me instead of that miko Kogome?" Tsuki said turning back toward Sesshoumaru.

"You were the first one I reached," he replied sitting against the wall. Right leg up with his arm resting on his leg.

I think there's another reason, considering he was closet to Kogome Tsuki thought.

"Lord Sesshoumaru dinner is ready," said Jaken.

"There are clothes in the closet," Sesshoumaru said leaving the room.

Tsuki undressed careful not to open the wound she'd gotten while sawing wood for an old couple, before ever coming back with Kogome. She changed the bandages, hiding them in her bag. Her wounds were almost completely healed. She found a tight fitting black kimono, with silver trimming and a pair of kimono pants to match. She put her hair up in a ponytail.

She went down stairs to dinner. She sat at Sesshoumaru's right side. They ate dinner listening to Rin "a little girl Sesshoumaru had saved," tell about her day. Tsuki stealing glances at Sesshoumaru when he wasn't looking. She thought he had some kind of plans to kill her. After all if she died the gang wouldn't know. She kept thinking.

After dinner she walked out to the garden. She took in every detail. She loved the roses. She bent over the fountain to look at her reflection. When she stood up she turned only to find herself inches from Sesshoumaru's face. He looked coolly at her. She was lost in his eyes. He broke the contact. She felt a cold rush of hate go through her.

"Why do you wonder alone in the dark?" Sesshoumaru asked still with no emotion.

"That's non of your concern," was all she replied.

"What's wrong?" Sesshoumaru said.

"That is non of your concern either. After taking me you should know better than to ask," she said running away from him.

She then realized no matter what she couldn't run from him. She walked up to the room she had woken up in. She sat there in the window. She stared off into the sunset. She was thinking of everything that had happened. She looked down at her hands. Her nails were getting long. She went through her bag looking for her nail clippers. She finally found them under her shirts. She clipped her nails. She brushed her hair. She still couldn't sleep. She fiddled around a while before deciding to take a walk. She walked out the side door to the garden. She laid on the cool grass watching and listening to the night.

She remembered how the priestess described the night. Soft grass supporting you. The mist protects you. The fire flies leading people home. The stars walking with the spirits to the after life. The moon soaking up all your pains and suffering

"Why was she always so right?" Tsuki smirked to her self, lying dazed.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, I found her," yelled Jaken.

"So you didn't run a way as I thought," Sesshoumaru said standing behind Tsuki.

"You think me that cowardly? You …" she stopped and checked her self.

"Come it's late. You are tired I presume?" Sesshoumaru said threateningly.

"Do not presume things with me. I am not your typical weak human. I know that's why you chose me. Because you thought I was an easy target. Your keep presuming with me and you'll end up dead," Tsuki said coldly, turning and walking toward the river.

"Your going to your new bedroom now. It's late and you'll need rest. It's going to be a long day for you to marrow," Sesshoumaru said gripping Tsuki's arm, and leading her to her new room.

As soon as he left Tsuki ripped all the fine silk pillows and sheets to shreds out of anger. She then took out her needle and thread from her backpack. She sat for around two hours sowing the sheets and pillows. When she was done there was no way of telling that she ripped them. She made her bed. She walked over to her window and stared at the moon. She looked longingly at the forest. She wanted to roam so badly under their shade that she felt the dew on her skin. She sat at the window and fell asleep.
