Uncover Me... Day
Disclaimer: Nope. I don't own 'em. Don't laugh at me. Because... they ain't your's either!
AN: Yes, I'm back. My muse kinda ditch me but i beat it with a club and it came crying back with loads of ideas, so now I'm going to try and update as much as possible before skool starts again. And i also wanted to apologize about my spelling and grammer mistakes(though they are getting a little better. hehe). I know some of you HATE spelling and grammer mistakes but forgive me. I enjoy writing and reading more than anything else and my fingers aren't as fast as my brain yet, so you get the picture ( hopefully... sweat drops). I'm gonna shut up now... enjoy!

The forest was silent beside the natural wind and chrips of birds. Light footsteps were silent, as though not to disturb the calm forest. The glowing orb in the sky once again made it's decent for slumber. A lone figure walked an empty path to a certain location. From afar the figure looked human, but up close you could see one red stripe on the left cheek and two black stripes outlined in silver on the other, the sign of a demon. But the closer you got you could see the figure was a woman, a demoness.
She was dressed in black. Black pants (don't know the japanese name for pants and shirt, hehe.) that fluffed out to the ankles along with black boots, designs of an silvery-white inu adorned her right leg. She wore a shirt that came a little below her breasts, showing her flat but muscled stomach. On her left side, a little to the right of her hip stood two crescent moons, one was black, the other red. These markings, however, faded when the demoness came upon a hill over looking a camp. All humans and demons were fast asleep, but the demoness noticed two of the group not present. ( sorry 'bout her attire part, im not good but i wanted to try it out.)
The demoness narrowed her eyes, ' Now where did they get to?' The demoness sat down on the hill letting her right leg dangle over the edge while her left leg bent so she could rest her arm upon it. Her gaze then turned away from the camp and over to the land before her. Closing her icy blue eyes with silver and gold etched in them, the wind caressed her midnight blue and silver locks as she relaxed.

Silver white locks danced with the wind, white neko like ears twitched at sounds, and amber eyes glowed in the dark as the over looked the cloudy abiss below him. So tempting. He could just take a few steps and fall into the abiss, forgeting about everything. But he did not, he had promises to keep, a journey to finish, people to protect. A sigh once again excaped him.
But before he continued his thoughts a familar icy voice met his sensitive hanyou ears... " Speak. you are wasting my time with your useless ranting." A knowing smirk snuck on the hanyou's face, " Always so bitchy, huh brother?" His ears were met with silence, and his smirk grew.
Turning, the figure in red faced the stotic demon lord known as his brother. The smirk left his face, replaced by a serious one as he questioned, " Did you feel something for her, Sesshomaru?" The shock on his older brother's face quickly vanished as the icy exterior set in place again, " Is that what you wished to speak with me about? You know as well as I, I do not care for any human, Inuyasha."
Anger quickly rose in the silver-haired hanyou, " Don't give me that crap, Sesshomaru! You know she wasn't just any human, so stop acting like she is!" Sesshomaru remained impassive, Inuyasha once again turned his back on his older brother, the one person that had no heart, the one person who didn't give a damn about anyone but himself. The one person who didn't know how to feel.
Slowly Inuyasha's anger disappeared and his brother's voice reached him, " Half-breed, she wasn't any different -" His sentence was cut short as Inuyasha interrupted him, " Then why was it you who screamed her name in pain! Why was it you who had shown emotion?" Inuyasha's hand became a fist, and blood began to drip from his hand as his nails dug into his skin. His hanyou ears drooped, his head lowered and his voice became a whisper as he said, " Why was it you, brother... that cared for Kagome that night?"
His jaw tighten as he heard her name from his brother's mouth and he narrowed his eyes at him. No, he didn't care, he wouldn't! He couldn't. She was pure and he tainted. She was a human, and he a demon. They were not ment to be. Still he remained silent, there was nothing he could say because for once... his brother was right.
" It's not fair, Sesshomaru." His brother lifted his head and faced him again, Sesshomaru saw tears for once in his life, he saw his brother crying. Over a mortal. A human girl. How is it so easy for his brother and his father to show emotion for a human? He didn't understand.
" Damnit Sesshomaru! If only you noticed! If only you would have opened to her... you would've understand, she gave you something, right under your damn nose! Something I've wanted!" Inuyasha stared straight at his brother, tears falling down his cheeks. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowned more. What is he talking about?
A sad smile was on Inuyasha's face, he let out a small emotionless laugh, " Should have heard what she said, dear brother. What Kagome told me." Sesshomaru froze in place again at her name. " Don't you get it Sesshomaru? No matter if Kagome was human or not, no matter if you are demon or not, she..." His voice grew thick with emotion as he continued, " Kagome didn't understand the emotions she felt with you. She felt something,Sesshomaru! About you of ALL people in the world! I told her that you wouldn't care because of the bastard you are. I told her that it ment nothing, I told Kagome that you wouldn't care nor acknowledge it because you didn't know how to."
Sesshomaru's exterior faultered at his brother's words, he knew he wasn't lieing. The demon lord waited in silence for him to continue. " And do you want to know what she did?" Inuyasha's sad smile grew, " She smiled, Sesshomaru. She smiled at me and said, 'I know. But that won't stop me from trying.' Do you have any idea how much it hurt me because I knew how you were going to take it? Do you! No you don't! So don't you dare stand there and tell me she ment nothing to you, that she was just another human! But tell me this... did you... do you feel something toward her?"
Still he said nothing. His face once again impassive. Inuyasha shook his head at his brother, how the hell can he be so stupid? So uncaring! Inuyasha gave his older brother a cold stare and a blank face just like his, his voice colder than his brother's had ever been... " I can understand now. Why Father gave you that look. The look of disappointment." Inuyasha brushed passed his brother in silence, leaving a shocked Sesshomaru behind. The dark forest swallowed his form. 'The look of disappointment...' Rang in his ears. The last time he talked to his Father flashed before his eyes... " Sesshomaru, is there anything you want to protect? " The time when Inuyasha fought Takemaru also flashed before his eyes...
" Is that all of your power?" " Don't be surprised by this little power." " It's impossible for demons to have this power." " You are wrong I'm just half demon." His brother had said, but what he said next surprised him more... " Limitless desire is stronger than any living thing. That's human. How would I, with human blood, give up? And if I find something that I want to protect among human, this power will become many times greater!"
His molten colored eyes widened. ' Is that why Father didn't give me Sou'unga and Tetsaiga? Because I wanted to protect no one, and nothing?' (did i spell the swords names right?)

A familar scent, that was carried with the wind, reached her sensitive nose. She opened her eyes to the vast view before her, standing. ' He is alone...' In the blink of an eye she was gone, running toward the demon lord. As she reached her destination, a figure in white was in her sight, she smirked. ' Let's give a little surprise since it's not often a powerful demon lord isn't on alert...'
Her eyes flashed from icy blue to gold, before she used her neko skills to seek into a good position quietly. She dashed at him from the front, no demon nor human could have seen her. The Tigriss landed on a very surprised demon lord, who was wearing a shocked face. Her face was blank and her eyes showed she ment death. Her left hand held him down, while both of her legs were on both side of his waist. Her left leg bent up on the tip of her toes while her right leg was on her knee. She had her right hand glowing with poison as Sesshomaru's does.
Sesshomaru was as stiff a board, and still in shock, not realsing it was his companion. A few moments passed before she couldn't hold it anymore. She started laughing. In between breaths she panted, " The, look... on your face was hilarious!" Sesshomaru blinked twice before he realised who it was, his eyes narrowed, which only served to make her laugh harder.
He had never seen her so... childish. She was always much like himself at all times. It was like she was a different person. Slowly he realised the position they were in, she was straddling him. Her laughing became giggles until it disappeared all together. When he looked at her the mirth was still dancing in her eyes, though her face was blank again. Silence hung thick between them, both searching eachother's eyes. They stayed in that position for sometime before he rose an eyebrow and stated, " Are you going to sit there all day." She didn't move.
His eyes narrowed in warning. She finally answered with, " Are you going to let me train you yet?" She too rose an eyebrow. If possible his eyes narrowed even more. At last he said, " No."
Now it was her turn to narrow her eyes, " Fine." With that, she got off of him. He too got up. Her back was turned to him, ' Does she trust me so much as to turn her back to me? Or does she not see me as a threat?' With that thought in mind his anger rose in the slightest, and his face still blank. An evil smirk too found his face, ' My turn...' Was all he thought before attacking her with his claws.
Moments later silence was once again the in the forest. Sesshomaru's wrist was caught before he could hit her... with her own hand. His had dripped poison but it did not eat away at her skin. Shock was again on his face, how...? Her face was blank as she stared at him, " Don't you understand, yet?" she questioned. As she let go of his wrist turning away from him again. He appeared in front of her again, staring straight at her. " Why didn't my poison burn your skin." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at her. She held his gaze. " It does not affect me because I placed a spell. My power over rides yours."
' Then why has she not killed me yet? Why is she choosing to train this Sesshomaru and not kill me?' He thought before stating " There is something your not tell this Sesshomaru." She looked at him. She closed her eyes letting out a small sigh. " Your right. I'm not." 'I cannot believe I just said that! Shit! I might give away who i really am!' She thought her face still blank.
" Explain." He demanded. " I cannot." Her midnight blue tresses danced with his silvery ones. Icy blue met molten gold. ' Her eyes... they are so familar. Could it be... No! She is dead. But Kikyo, Kagome's incarnation, would be of flesh and blood... yet she is not.'
' Damn these emotions, damn him! Argghh! Well let's at least make this last so it'll make this emotions go away for a bit.' The Tigriss thought as she took his wrist and ran, before the demon lord could say anything.
He could have swore they were flying, he has never gone this fast in his entire life! And she was only running. 'How is it she can go so fast? This Sesshomaru would never be able to catch her.' Before he continued his thoughts he waa pulles into the air as she jumped, and still she held onto his left wrist with her right hand. He looked at her, studing her features. She was beautiful, though her markings were strange. He had never seen such.
The more he kept his eyes on her the more he noticed they were changing slightly, and he noticed she was glowing... ' Much like Kagome did that night she gave me my arm back...' They landed softly, and he looked around at the clearing.
Crickets chirpped loudly and the wind blew in a soothing way, a little ways away from them was a waterfall that almost seemed silent. But to the left of them it looked to be the God tree. Somehow he could tell it wasn't, the aura it radiated was demonic and pure at the same time. The Tigriss walked forward, aways from himself, stopped and waited. For what? He didn't know, but before he could voice his thoughts the area in front of her simmered, then finally fell... ' A barrier?'
In front of Aiko was a enormus wooden gate and slowly it creaked open and two figures appeared ontop of either side of the gate. " It is the Blue Mooned Tigriss!" One of them called the other narrowed his eyes, " Are ye sure?" The one who spoke jumped from the gate in front of the Tigriss. He waited.
She glowed the same color as before and he looked to her left hip. Then he bowed and called out to the other, " It is the Blue Mooned Tigriss, Akira!" The other demon nodded. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as she started to walk in, leaving him there.
When he looked inside the gate his eyes widened, " Welcome to the Youkai Crescent. We have been expecting you." A figure walked out of the gate, a woman. " I am Akira. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."
