Sorry the next chapter took so long. Here you go:

A light breeze swept through the field where Sesshomaru sat watching his servant Joken chase around his ward Rin. He scoffed at their childish antics and yet he wanted ever so much to join them for a reason he could not figure out. He would have joined them if his pride wasn't on the line. Suddenly a new scent filled the air. One that Sesshomaru had never smelt before. "Joken." Sesshomaru stated calmly. "Watch over Rin". "My lord," asked Joken. "What do you mean? Where are you go…" But Sesshomaru had already disappeared. Joken sighed. "How do I always get stuck with Rin?" Joken complained to himself. "Just Lucky I guess," replied Rin as Joken did an Anime fall backwards.

Meanwhile

Adriel's eyes opened. It had been so long since she had lost consciousness that any sense of time was forgotten. The atmosphere around her remained black with a few occasional purple swirls here and there. "How long have I been falling?" Adriel thought. Suddenly the black turned to blue and a green valley appeared below her. Adriel finally allowed fear to take hold of her and began panicking. "Aahh! What is going on? If this is some kind of nightmare…. Wake up Adriel! I knew squishing that spider was going to bring me bad luck..but it was soo big and it had it coming. What was it thinking; blocking the door to my room like that? WHY AM I WORRIED ABOUT THE SPIDER WHEN MY LIFE IS FLASHING BEFORE ME! Ahhhhh oww!" Adriel sat up and rubbed her head. "That's gon'na leave a mark. Good thing I landed on something soft!"

"Yesssssss in deed my tasssssty morsssssle," a voice hissed close to Adriel's ear.

"Huh," Adriel whimpered as she looked behind her. A large snake demon had its body coiled under her and it soon began to squeeze her. 'Great I land in something soft and what happens; it has fangs and wants to eat me' thought Adriel. "Look; sorry to disappoint you but today's menu of fried Abh on a stick has been changed to something more appetizing."

"Ohhhhh?" hissed the snake demon as its grasp around Adriel grew tighter. "And what would thisssssss meal be perhapsssss?"

"Dirt," Adriel said plainly. Before the snake could react she grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into the snake's eyes. The snake hissed in annoyance and pain and loosened its grip on Adriel allowing her to do a back hand spring out of the snake's coils. Adriel began sprinting in no specific direction. 'Anywhere is better than here,' thought Adriel as she ran through a dense forest. Suddenly an all too familiar pain shot threw her and brought her to her knees. Adriel did not allow tears to fall but decided she had to rebind her wound on her side. "Which reminds me," Adriel said angrily with malice. "I have to kill that jerk that actually got past my defenses and cut me with his elctrolaser sword."

"You know you really don't have time to re-bandage that wound of yours. You'll be dead before you can even get to your feet," a cold yet strong man's voice behind Adriel said. (Sorry long sentence. lol).

I think I'll end it there………Just kidding. :)

Adriel's eyebrows twitched but she remained calm. "How nice of you to be concerned," Adriel said sarcastically turning around. "I don't need people telling me." Adriel stopped when she saw the figure before her. A blue crescent moon and two purple (or red I'm not sure what color they are) stripes painted his face. Long silvery hair caught the wind making it look like his hair was alive. Two swords were tucked away at his side and what looked like a fluffy tail was draped around his right shoulder. (Can anyone say Fluffy?)

"What are you staring at?" Sesshomaru stated calmly.

"Not you," Adriel said some what harshly turning away trying to hide her red stained cheeks. Of course Sesshomaru thought nothing of it in fact he really didn't care about her comment. 'What am I doing?' thought Adriel's mind in a panic. 'Why is my heart racing and why are my cheeks red?'

"If you continue to sit there like that it will enable the snake demon to catch you easier, unless that's what your plan is," said Sesshomaru a hint of amusement surrounded his words.

"Listen you… you uh whatever you are," Adriel yelled her voice getting louder with each sentence. "I'm tired of you telling me what to do and your 'I think it will be fun to annoy and make fun of the little Abh girl' attitude. You are getting on my nerves!" Adriel's yelled complaints scared birds out of trees and the forest became deathly quiet.

"If you don't mind I'm trying to take a nap," said Sesshomaru. Two of those anime red marks appeared on Adriel's head.

"You are soo infuriating and I would really love to kick your butt but I have to run now because you distracted me," Adriel yelled as she began sprinting. A new feeling made its self present in Sesshomaru. He had ever felt this feeling before but yet it seemed very familiar. It made Sesshomaru want to laugh. Sesshomaru growled at that thought. He would never laugh not even to get the Tetsaiga the one thing he desired most in life other than to kill Inuyasha. He decided he would follow the girl and see what would happen to her. Another feeling that Sesshomaru hated was curiosity. It would interfere with everything. As he began walking through the forest he heard an unfamiliar scream. He began sprinting; his curiosity flowing freely through him.

He came to a clearing to see the blue headed girl he confronted earlier looking at her hands in fear with the snakes fangs severed from its mouth. Sesshomaru sat in silence as he watched the fight continue.

'How did I do that?' Adriel screamed in her head. 'How did blue light come from my hands and what exactly did it do?'

"You retchhhhhhed wencchh," hissed the snake demon blood dripping from the holes in its mouth where fangs used to be. "How dare you decccceive me into thinking that you were a mere human!"

"But I'm not human," Adriel said panicking not knowing what else to say.

"I'll kill you," screamed the snake demon slithering towards Adriel at a fast pace.

"Please stay back," cried Adriel tears streaming down her cheeks. "I don't know what will happen next. I really don't want to kill you."

"Sssssstop trying to delay your demisssse!" hissed the snake almost close enough to bit her. Adriel closed her eyes and lowered her head.

"Please go away," yelled Adriel. Suddenly a bright blue light surrounded Adriel and the snake stopped in its tracks. A strong wind blew through Adriel's hair and it picked her up. Adriel looked like she was unconscious and that the wind was controlling her. The wind formed a big ball of air around her and suddenly light pierced through. The wind dissipated revealing Adriel dressed in a single layered white dress. White lilies were braided into her blue hair. The wind gently lowered Adriel to the ground until her feet touched the solid earth, her hands gently crossed over her shoulders and her eyes closed.

"Do you think ssssome cheep magic trick will sssssave you. Foolisssh girl!" yelled/ hissed the snake. Suddenly what seemed like hundreds of demons appeared. The snake demon charged at Adriel only to be disintegrated by a blue purple barrier. The other demons became angry and all charged at once.

Adriel opened her eyes and they were purple. She raised her right hand leaving the left one still across her shoulder and raised it too the sky. Adriel mumbled to her self and she floated into the air. The demons didn't mind this and they flew after her.

"Dissipating light," Adriel said quietly and calmly. A sphere of yellow light surrounded her and suddenly flooded the entire sky almost blinding Sesshomaru who didn't dare look away. The light cleared and no demons remained. Adriel gently began descending to the ground. Her white dress and lilies disappeared just before she hit the ground gently on her stomach. The carcass of the snake demon lay in front of her.

"Stupid snake," Adriel said weekly feeling as if her strength had been drained from her. "I'm not human. I'm Adriel an Abh princess and don't you for..get it," Adriel whispered as she passed out.

Later

Sesshomaru tended the small fire before him occasionally glancing at the girl that he now knew as Adriel behind him. He wondered if a pile of fur would be enough warmth for an Abh as she called herself, whatever that was. He ate his dinner, put out the fire and sat up against a tree and fell asleep, silently hoping Rin was all right in the care of that fool Joken. Morning came too early for Sesshomaru but he got up anyway and made breakfast for himself and Adriel. He ate his fill and took some over to Adriel who was still asleep. Just as he set it down she woke up, looked at him, and screamed.

"Good morning to you too," Sesshomaru said his ears hurting from all the noise.

"What am I doing here!" yelled Adriel. "Where is here anyway? Why am I with you? How come you're not answering my questions? Who are-" Adriel stopped when Sesshomaru had covered her mouth with his hand. Adriel tried to fight back a large blush that was threatening to stain her cheeks.

"Will you please refrain from excess noise? I might have to lop off your head," Sesshomaru said calmly though in his head he was steaming mad. He removed his hand from Adriel's mouth and she just plopped to the ground in shock of what just transpired.

"Are you going to sit there all day or are you going to eat something?" Sesshomaru asked. Adriel shook her head.

"I'm not eating anything that you give me. I don't know you and you might have poisoned it," Adriel said haughtily.

'Too bad I didn't,' thought Sesshomaru with regret. "I'm going to go check on something you will stay there until I get back," Sesshomaru said as he jumped into the air and dissapered.

"My butt I'm staying here," Adriel said getting up. "Who dose he think he is anyway?" Adriel grabbed a fur hide and draped it over her shoulder. She remembered reading about demons and how they can track you down by your scent. "The fur will help hide my scent," Adriel said triumphantly.

She headed off into the forest with nothing in her mind. 'I just want to get away from him,' Adriel thought. After what seemed like forever Adriel felt as though her legs were going to fall off. As if to help her a foggy mist hung in the air behind some trees. Going through them a smile lit up her face. Before her was one of Feudal Era Japan's famous hot springs. Adriel thanked her lucky stars that she could get some rest and relaxation.

Back at Sesshomaru's camp

Sesshomaru finally came upon the clearing where he had set up camp last night. When he got there his blood began boiling yet he did not show it. 'Stupid wench,' thought Sesshomaru as he followed Adriel's scent. 'I see she tried to mask her scent. Maybe she's not so stupid after all yet she is foolish. She slept on that animal skin last night so her scent was already on it.' He finally came to a spot where her scent was most strong.

He pulled the trees slightly apart and froze when he knew exactly where she was. He could hear her talking to herself.

"You stay right there, I'll be back," Adriel said in a man's voice imitating Sesshomaru. "I don't have to do anything you say. Yes you do. I'm a silver headed demon from the planet of the crescent moon and you better listen to me before I annoy you to death. Oh no, anything but that!" She burst out laughing. Sesshomaru tried to hold his temper and managed to get under control. Adriel stopped laughing and looked around. Getting out she wrapped the bear fur around her like a towel and headed to her clothes still looking around. 'Did I really hear something; or is my mind playing tricks on me?' thought Adriel.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru trying very hard to suppress his anger walked quietly around the hot spring to get to the other side. Adriel took a knife out from her back pocket of her blue pants and turned around quickly thinking she heard a noise. Adriel sighed and convinced herself that she was hearing things but still held on to the knife. She backed up slowly and ran right into Sesshomaru which made her scream in fright and turn around.

"Do you always have to scream like that?" he asked glaring at her.

"Go away!" yelled Adriel swing the knife at Sesshomaru. "Leave me alone." Adriel gasped as her wrists were held by Sesshomaru's hands. The knife fell to the ground. Adriel tried to get away but she was weak compared to Sesshomaru and plus she was pinned to a rock. (It's not what you think. Keep reading.) Adriel stared up at the demon with silver hair and according to her a bad attitude.

"What were you doing with that knife? Were you trying to kill me? That was a foolish thought in deed," Sesshomaru said plainly staring at Adriel. He looked in her eyes and did not see fear as most people in this situation would. They held confusion and anger and annoyance.

"Let me go," Adriel said trying to make her voice strong. The comment came out weak because she felt helpless. It was also hard to keep her blush off her face. This demon was so close to her and she was only wearing a thin layer of clothing. Sesshomaru noted this factor and let her go. She slumped to the ground not looking up. Sesshomaru turned away.

"Why do you keep doing this?" yelled Adriel. "I'm not your property. You can't just make me do whatever you want. I don't even know you." Tears were spilling down her cheeks.

"Sesshomaru."

"What?" Adriel asked calming down wiping her tears away.

"My name is Sesshomaru. Now come on. We are going now. That is if you want to."

"Thank you," Adriel said. Sesshomaru turned around to look at her.

"For what?" he asked.

"Thank you for telling me your name." Sesshomaru didn't say anything but turned and faced front and resumed walking again. Adriel followed him and began thinking.

'I don't have any idea where I am or what I'm doing here or how to get back home. All I know is that this demon or whatever he is seems to be my only light in the darkness. I'd even say he's my guardian angel.'

Sorry it took so long. Since it took so long I wrote an extra long chapter. It's long on my computer anyway. Please review. Remember I need at least 5 reviews to write a new chapter. Thanx so much,
