Amaya steped out of the bathroom half an hour later to find Sesshoumaru leaning against the wall outside.

"Er," Sesshoumaru looked up, surprised to see her there. Even more surprised at how beautiful she looked, standing there with nothing but a towel on.The sunlight shown in through a window across from them, coating her in a golden glow that made her stand out like...well, Sesshoumaru wasn't even sure what. Hell, he wasn't even sure what to say. "You shouldn't be walking around like that. Hardly wearing anything at all. Something so reavieling..." He stopped, Amaya's towel had slipped a little as she placed her hand on her hip.

"Its a towel, Sesshoumaru," She smiled." Besides, its not like you care."

"I most certainly do," He turned away, walking down the stairs." Beside, some boys here looking for you." With that he dispeared downstairs.

Amaya turned and entered her room. Getting dressed as fast as she could.


She entered the kitchen a few minutes later fully dressed.Sesshoumaru sat beside her father at the table, souta and her step-mother stood behind them. A very unconfortable looking Kenshin sat across from them.

"Hi Kenshin." Amaya said as she entered the kitchen.

"Hi Amaya," Kenshin smiled. " Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Of course" Amaya smiled, moving to follow Kenshin outside and stopped at the look on Sesshoumaru's face.

Amaya chose to ignore it.

She followed Kenshin out side silently, glaring at Sesshoumaru as she passed.

Sesshoumaru stood once the pair had left and walked to the window, watching them from it.

The boy named Kenshin looked to be about as old as Amaya. He had short, black hair and light green eyes. He held himself tall and looked strong. But there was something strange about him, Sesshoumaru just couldn't place his finger on it.

This bothered him very much.


"Amaya," Kenshin started once they were out of ear shot of the house. " You have been gone a long time. Where did you go without telling me?"

"I went to see a sick relative, Kenshin. And just because you're my best friend doesn't mean I tell you everything." Amaya snapped.

Kenshin jumped back in surprise.

"I'm sorry, Kenshin. Its been a long week and I have to go," Amaya turned and walked to the front door. "Bye."

"Bye."Kenshin turned around and walked away.

Amaya watched Kenshin leave and deciding at the last minute, not to go inside. Turning and walking over to the sacred tree and sat down, leaning against it. She closed her eyes and breathed out slowly. She could hear someone approching but ignored it.

Whoever it was sat down beside her.

Amaya opened her eyes and looked over. Sesshoumaru was sitting beside her, holding the Tensaiga in his hands. His eyes were closed.

"Hey" Amaya said quietly.

"Hello, Amaya," Sesshoumaru opened his eyes and looked over at her. "What was that all about?" He looked of towards where Kenshin had dissapeared to.

"Nothing," Amaya sighed." I don't get it. How can you act like you don't care when the whole world is against you?"

Sesshoumaru never answered.

"Where did you get that sword?"

"My father gave it to me." There was a cold note in Sesshoumaru's voice.

"Oh. Well, whats its name? What does it do?"

"You remind me of Rin," Sesshoumaru said suddenly " So curious of the world around you."

Amaya was silent.

"Its name is Tensaiga."

"Heavenly fang." Amaya said quietly.

"That is right. It is a sword of heaven, it cannot kill or maim. It can only heal and such. It cannot destroy. It is usless," He threw the sword to the ground " Usless."

Amaya picked up the sword. " Its the opposite of Tetsaiga, isn't it? The Tetsaiga can kill onehundred demons in one swing, or so Inuyasha tells me.

She continued when Sesshoumaru nodded. " And the Tensaiga can heal one hundred humans in one swing? Correct?"

"That is right. It is of no use to me at all."

"Why?"

"Because I despise humans and have no wish to save them."

"But you saved Rin." Amaya pointed out.

Sesshoumaru was on his feet now. He looked very angry. " That does not matter now does it?"

"Sesshoumaru, Tensaiga is a sword of heaven. It can heal and ressurect. You should be proud to bear it.

"You do not understand." Sesshoumaru sat back down beisde her, taking the Tensaiga out of her hands. "You don't"

"But I try." Amaya said quietly.

"Yes, You do" Sesshoumaru stood again and turned to face her, holding out his hand to pull her to her feet. She was surprised at first, but accepted.

"Thanks"

Sesshoumaru nodded.

Turning they headed toward the house at a slow walk. Still hand in hand.

But thier walk turned into a run when to loud yells came from the house.
