Amaya lept out of the well, Sesshoumaru right behind her.Sesshoumaru landed gracefully while Amaya, on the other hand, didn't. She fell hard on her butt.
"Argh," Amaya moaned as she tryed to pull herself up.Sesshoumaru stood infront of her, and amused look on his face."Well don't just stand there," Amaya snapped, " Help me up."
It quiet surprised her when Sesshoumaru bent down and slipped his arm around her waste, pulling her to her feet. 'She's so light' he thought 'It can't be healthy.'
"Thanks." Amaya breathed, letting go of her tight grip on his sleeve.
Sesshoumaru nodded.
Turning and walking up the steps, Amaya limped behind Sesshoumaru.Noticing this, Sesshoumaru turned around and walked back to her, picking her uip bridal style. Which, for him, was very complicated.
Amaya let out a cry of surprise and wraped her arm tightly around his neck. Sesshoumaru walked up the steps with slight difficulty. Amaya wasn't making it easy. She was shaking as though she was walking on a tight rope across a canyon or something.
"Open the door." Sesshoumaru instructed, gazing down at her with an emtionless expression.His eyes were cold.
Amaya nodded, reaching out in front of her and opening the door.
Sunshine spilled into the wellhouse, coating Amaya and Sesshoumaru in a soft, golden glow. They could here laughter and screams of happiness. Sesshoumaru turned his eyes towards the sound, and seen a small boy and a young girl dancing around in the spray from a water hose.He turned his eyes back down to Amaya as she tryed to get down. "I can walk myself."
"Fine." Sesshoumaru sat her down, following her into the house as she walked away.
"Hey Amaya!" Souta's voice rang through the yard. "Wait up!"
Amaya turned around. Sesshoumaru could see a wide smile on her face."Hey Souta," She greeted him kindly," How are you doing."
"Fine, Mom and Dads realy worried about you though." A confused look crossed the boys face, reminding Sesshoumaru of Rin.
"Why?" Amaya asked, glancing at Sesshoumaru.
"Because Kagome came back 2 days ago and said she didn't know where you were. She left a note for you with mom. She was all tears and everything. Even Inuyasha looked worried."
"Huh." Amaya turned and walked into the house. Souta ran bakc to the girls side and Sesshoumaru followed Amaya without a word.
Amaya entered the kitchen a few minutes later, her silver hair pulled back into a ribbon she had seen no the table by the door. Her father and step-mother sat at the kitchen table, tlaking in low voices. Amaya heard Sesshoumaru close the door behing him. The noise of the door closing was the only thing that gave away thier presence.
"Amaya!" Her step-mother cried, dashing forward and embracing the girl. Amaya's father was watching Sesshoumaru, a funny look on his face.
"Glad your safe, hunnie" He said, turning to his daughter. "Kagome was here a little..."
"Souta told me," Amaya interupted, moving for the door." Sesshoumaru, make yourself at home, I'm going to take a shower."
With that she left the room.
