Here is the next chapter of Adriel Interrupted.  Sorry it took so long.

Chapter 4: Those We Forget

"Naraku?" Adriel asked in pain and confusion. "You're that stupid idiot who was banned from the kingdom!"

"Ahh; how nice of you to remember me," replied Naraku almost laughing. "Stop laughing you sick twisted weirdo! You were banned from the kingdom because you were endangering the royal family!" Adriel yelled with disgust. Naraku laughed again. "The only part of the royal family that I was endangering was you".

Meanwhile With Fluffy

'Stupid Wench' thought Sesshomaru walking through the forest. "Human's are such stupid creatures," Sesshomaru said aloud. "She'll probably get herself killed and then-." Sesshomaru stopped talking as the scent of Naraku reached his nose. 'He'll pay for thinking that he could out smart me,' thought Sesshomaru angrily. He sprinted off in the direction of the origin of the smell. Images flashed in his mind of that fateful encounter with Naraku. (Episodes 80 and 81). 'How foolish of him to think he could escape,' thought Sesshomaru as trees flashed past him. As Sesshomaru got closer, Adriel's scent became intermingled with Naraku's.

With Naraku

"What are you talking about?" Adriel asked glaring up at Naraku. Naraku smirked and flew/sailed down to Adriel. "What I was after was you Adriel," Naraku said menacingly, grabbing Adriel's chin. "Let go of me," Adriel persisted trying to struggle away from his grasp. "What is there not to want about you Adriel?" Naraku continued. "You're a beautiful Abh princess with not only power to the throne of an entire empire, but with power of unbelievable proportions not yet unlocked." "What are you talking about?" Adriel yelled finally getting free. "Naraku!" Adriel turned to see her 'Guardian angel'. "Sesshomaru!" Adriel called happily. "Ahh Lord Sesshomaru; come to meet your doom I suppose," Naraku said sarcastically. Sesshomaru tightened his grip on the Tokigen. "Or have you merely come to take back your women?" "W..W..What?" Adriel yelled blushing. "I'm not-. Were not-." "I have no concern for the mortal. I have come simply to kill you," Sesshomaru said calmly. (ME: You and every other Inuyasha character buddy. lol)

"Oh I see?" Naraku said smugly. "Then you won't mind me taking her with me." "What am I a lottery ticket?" Adriel yelled angrily. "Lord Sesshomaru?" a small voice came from behind the bushes. Sesshomaru recognized the child's voice. Suddenly a short, black haired girl emerged from the forest. "Rin what are you doing here?" Sesshomaru asked calmly though inside he wanted to strangle Jaken. 'Rin?' Adriel thought not moving. Tears threatened to spill down her cheeks and she lowered her head.

Flashback:

A twelve year old Adriel sat outside playing in the royal garden when a black car drove up into the pavement circle. Two men got out and proceeded to the front door of the imperial castle. Curious, Adriel went back up the secret passage way in the wall and down into the main hallway. She peered around the corner and saw her mother crying and her father comforting her. The two men had their hats off and proceed to walk back out the doors. They opened the doors up and a hovering stretcher like thing came floating in through the doors. Adriel sprinted down the stairs and up to the stretcher. Adriel recognized the girl on the stretcher. "Mother?" Adriel asked. "Why is sister sleeping?" Lafiel just cried into Jinto's arms.

End Flashback

"Ahh! Once again Sesshomaru you leave your ward unattended," Naraku said laughing. "I will see to it that you will learn from your mistakes!" Naraku send his tentacles towards Rin. Sesshomaru pulled out his Tokigen and began sprinting towards the tentacles. "I don't think so Sesshomaru," Naraku said sending his demon's at Sesshomaru. Still the tentacles came after Rin. Rin being only around 8 was scared out of her mind unable to move. "Rin! Run!" yelled Sesshomaru harshly. Still she didn't move. Adriel snapped out of her daze and saw the pending danger. She got up weakly, ran over to Rin and jumped in front of the tentacles. Adriel bit her lip as too not scream out and frighten the girl in her arms as the tentacles went through her right arm and back. Naraku held worry on his face and withdrew his attack immediately. Adriel landed on the ground the young girl passed out underneath her. (No she didn't squish her lol) Tears fell freely but Adriel got up anyway and faced Naraku. "Is..Is that all you've got?" Adriel asked weakly holding her arm.

"My, My," Naraku said almost laughing. "A little angry are we? What's the matter? Dose this small girl remind you of your sister Rianale?" "How would you kn." Adriel stopped and fell to the ground in sadness. "You Basterd!" Adriel screamed. "You're the one who killed her!" "Guilty as charged," Naraku said smiling. "How could you! She was just an innocent little girl. She did nothing to you. Why did you kill her? Why?". Adriel sank to her knees and felt tears drench her bare shoulders. "I guess I was bored," Naraku answered. "Shut the hell up would ya!" yelled Adriel. A blue light began to surround her. "You're gonna pay for killing my sister and you're gonna pay with your life!" Adriel charged at Naraku at top speed. Her injures didn't even seem to hinder at all.

Naraku didn't send out his demons in fear of his prize being killed. Instead he fought himself. Sending out putrid arm after arm, Naraku attacked Adriel who dodged every attack. Sesshomaru finished off the rest of the demons and watched Adriel attack Naraku. 'It's almost as if she's… dancing,' thought Sesshomaru.

"Just hurry up and die would ya," Adriel said angrily. "Do you expect to beat me with no weapon?" Naraku asked. "How pathetic!" "Do you call this pathetic!" yelled Adriel as she punched Naraku is the face. "How would that do anyth-." Naraku stopped in mid-sentence as a pain jolted up his jaw and into his spine. A large gapping hole was left in his mouth. Naraku smirked as the wound healed as quickly as it had gotten there. "What!" Adriel asked in disbelief. "You see I have most of the Shikon Jewel and it serves me well!" Naraku said laughing again. "The Shikon Jewel? What the heck is that?" Adriel asked alarmed. "Do you wish to find out?" Naraku asked as he wrapped his tentacles around Adriel. "Let me go!" Adriel screamed. "Not likely," Naraku answered lifting Adriel to him. Adriel struggled to get free.

"Naraku!" yelled Sesshomaru. "Forget the human and prepare to die." "Oh so you do care about her then?" Naraku asked smiling knowing what Sesshomaru's answer would be. "Not at all," replied Sesshomaru. "Then you won't mind me doing this!" At that Naraku kissed Adriel hard on the lips. Adriel's eyes opened wide and she froze for a split second as a blush spread across her face. "Let me go now!" Adriel tried to say. Naraku only pushed harder. Adriel allowed tears to fall and began hitting Naraku and pushing him away. During this whole scene Sesshomaru oddly felt angry and felt like tearing off Naraku's head and comforting Adriel; and for some reason he didn't care that he felt this way. Finally the lack of air got to Adriel. She closed her eyes and passed out. Naraku kept on kissing her. Sesshomaru felt his anger rising.

"Drop her damn it!" yelled Sesshomaru regretting what he said the moment after saying it. Naraku smirked. "You want her so badly; catch," Naraku said dropping Adriel. Sesshomaru caught Adriel's sleeping form, but this was what Naraku was hoping for. "I'll take my leave now," Naraku said, laughing as he disappeared into thin air. "Curse him!" Sesshomaru said angrily, his eyes turning red. "Lord Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru's eyes turned back to normal recognizing the small voice. "Rin, are you injured?" Sesshomaru asked. "Nope, not at all," Rin said smiling beginning to dance around. "That girl saved me,". Sesshomaru looked at Adriel in his arms. 'She did. This human saved Rin. But why? What purpose would she have for doing so?' Sesshomaru thought. "Rin?" "Yes," Rin answered. "Where's Jaken?". "Back at the camp. I told him I was going for a walk and that I was talking Ah-Un with me. He said it was fine. Silly Jaken he was very tired," Rin answered.

Later

They found Jaken asleep against a tree. He looked so peaceful that Sesshomaru decided to wake him up with a kick in the face. "What's the big idea you fool!" yelled Jaken. "When my master Lord Sesshomaru gets here he'll punish you indeed!". "Jaken," Sesshomaru said. Jaken looked up to see Sesshomaru glaring down at him. "My lord!" exclaimed Jaken. "I did not know it was you. Uh…Please forgive me," Jaken pleaded putting his head to the ground. "Are you aware that Rin was left unattended and in danger?" Sesshomaru asked. "She was supposed to stay at camp," Jaken said turning to look at Rin who was picking flowers. "If this happens again I will have to kill you," Sesshomaru said walking away. 'That brazen child. She'll be the death of me I just know it,' thought Jaken. Sesshomaru sat down next to the fire he had made. "Lord Sesshomaru?" "What is it Rin?" answered Sesshomaru. "Will the girl wake up?" Sesshomaru was silent. He looked over at the sleeping girl who lay under the tree next to him. "Never mind that Rin," he finally said. "Okay," she replied forgetting what she had asked in the first place.

The next morning Adriel still slept. As soon as Jaken was gone with Rin to get breakfast Sesshomaru began thinking back. 'Why did I say such things? She is merely a human. I suppose I owe her something for saving Rin, but why did she Rin in the first place?' thought Sesshomaru. Adriel stirred suddenly. "Where am I?" Adriel asked groggily. Adriel looked over at Sesshomaru and began to blush. 'What am I doing?' Adriel's mind screamed. This time Sesshomaru caught her blush and could hear her heart beat speed up. "Is something wrong?" asked Sesshomaru. " Um nothing's wrong," Adriel said, her voice shaking. Sesshomaru got up and stood right in front of her. 'Please don't ask me again! Please don't ask me again,' thought Adriel blushing even more. "Why did you save Rin?" Sesshomaru asked? Adriel's blush disappeared and her eyes became wet with un-spilled tears. "You see-." Adriel stopped trying to catch her breath.

"Rianale was my sister. We were only two years apart from each other and we were very close. Rianale couldn't pronounce her name so we called her Rin or Rinny because it was easier for her to say. Then one day when we were in the park on a family outing about 2 years ago, there was a high alert and it became too dangerous to stay at the park. I grabbed Rinny's hand and we followed mother and father though the streets. But there were too many people and Rinny got pulled away from me and we were separated. That was the last time I saw her. I blame my self for her death. Your Rin reminded me of my failure to protect my sister and I couldn't let it happen again." "I see. I suppose Rin owes her life to you then," Sesshomaru said from his sitting position on the ground. "You mean you actually listened?" Adriel asked. "I asked you a question and it would be pointless to ignore the answer; no matter how long it was," Sesshomaru answered. Adriel smiled. "Thank you," Adriel said. "For what?" asked Sesshomaru. "Oh never mind," replied Adriel. "Human's are strange creature," Sesshomaru said. "There are not!" yelled Adriel. "Only the ones in the loony bin are,". "And that would be?" "Oh never mind you're so infuriating!" Adriel said angrily. "Am I really?" Sesshomaru asked, looking at Adriel. 'His eyes,' thought Adriel. "Their beautiful,". "What was that you said?" A large blush appeared on Adriel's face. "I said nothing," Adriel said nervously back standing up. "You did say something. I heard you," Sesshomaru said. "No I di-." Adriel suddenly tripped over a root. Her head landed on Sesshomaru's shoulder. Her blush completely covered her face now. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" Adriel exclaimed getting up from her awkward position.

Adriel turned away. "Something's wrong with your face," Sesshomaru said. "Uhhhh… No there's not?" Adriel asked trying to get out of this position. Sesshomaru got up and pulled Adriel's face to where he could see it. This only made Adriel blush more. "Why are you blushing so much and how come your heart rate has sped up?" Sesshomaru asked Adriel. "Um.. I..uh," Adriel stuttered looking into his eyes. Sesshomaru found himself lost in Adriel's brown eyes. His eyes traveled to her lips that were bruised from Naraku's harsh kiss. Adriel's heart suddenly began to beat faster and her cheeks were brightly flushed. 'Why do I -,' thought Adriel. She didn't care what or why she thought it she just wanted to. Slowly ever so slowly Adriel moved her head closer to Sesshomaru and for some odd reason he did the same. 'Naraku's sent is on her lips so if I can smell it I can find a way to track him more closely,' thought Sesshomaru. Adriel closed her eyes and continued to get closer and then………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sorry. I just had to end it there. I know you probably hate me now but I want to take a poll. Please tell me if you think Sesshomaru and Adriel should kiss or not. Please send your answers to . Once again I need at least five reviews to write another chapter. You can even leave 2 or more reviews if you want just so long as I have at least five. Thanx so much, Amree Takahara 
