Chapter 4: Alliances Renewed.
Suriki opened her eyes to the grey light of evening. She was in a cave, near a stream. 'Where am I? What happened?' she thought. Then as the events of the day came back to her, her eyes opened wider with fright. Sitting up quickly and ignoring the pain, Suriki looked around for Sesshomaru. Seeing him asleep on the other side of the cave she sighed and laid back down. 'At least he was safe,' thought Suriki. 'Now to figure out where I am.' Looking over to the entrance she could now distinguish voices outside the cave.
"Who do you think she is Inuyasha?" said a female voice.
"Teh, like I care who she is. I want to know why Sesshomaru was so protective of her. He has never been that emotional before," said a male voice, probably Inuyasha.
'That's right Sesshomaru saved me. After 300 years he is still the same, protective and rash,' thought Suriki. Slowly she stood up and went out of the cave to find out who was talking.
"Oh, you are awake," said a girl with the most peculiar clothes.
"Yes, thank you for looking after me. My name is Suriki. Please, where am I?" Suriki asked.
"Your welcome, I am Kagome and we are at the edge of the forest," said the strange girl.
"I am Inuyasha, but we already met. What was that demon back there?" said a half demon.
"I'm not sure, but it has been after me for a while. Again I thank you for your kindness but I have to go, goodbye," said Suriki as she turned to leave.
"Wait," said Kagome, "Are you sure you don't want to stay? We could help."
"No, it would only bring you pain, I must go," said Suriki as she walked away.
Meanwhile, in the cave Sesshomaru was coming to. His immediate thoughts much to his dismay were, 'Where is Suriki? Is she okay?' Looking around he could tell that he had been moved into a cave. Suriki had been here as well, he could smell her near by. Getting up quickly, Sesshomaru gathered his things and went towards the entrance of the cave. Just as he approached it Inuyasha came in.
"So you are awake, too," said Inuyasha.
"Where is she?" Sesshomaru said in a calm, even tone.
"Huh, you just missed her. What's the deal with you two anyway?" answered Inuyasha.
Completely ignoring Inuyasha, Sesshomaru walked passed him and headed towards Suriki's scent. Looking hard enough he could see her in front of him, she had begun to run. Sesshomaru picked up his pace as well and ran after her.
"Well that was strange," said Kagome as he ran past her.
"I told you they wouldn't tell us anything," said Inuyasha.
She was being followed. It wasn't the demon though. Taking a quick look behind her she saw that it was Sesshomaru. Slowing down she let him catch up to her.
"Thank you for saving me Sesshomaru, but I have to ask you to stop following me. It is not safe," Suriki said.
"Why is it back, didn't it get what it wanted?" asked Sesshomaru ignoring her statement.
'As stubborn as ever,' thought Suriki as she said," I don't know but it destroyed the Island. I think that it wants the rest of my soul."
"Hmmm... We shall have to find a way to destroy it. Now follow me, my servants will be wondering where I am," said Sesshomaru.
Laughing, Suriki followed him and said," I guess this means the alliance between the clans has been reformed."
Together they ran through the forest, a blur to all those without demon eyes.
