Olivia regained consciousness slowly. Her eyes opened slowly and came into focus. She set up and rubbed her aching head. She looked around and noticed her sword lying on the ground next to her along with her bag. 'I wonder how I got here. Where are my sisters?' Olivia looked up and saw a bowl of water and some smoked fish. 'Well someone's taking care of me.' She picked up the water and drunk some before chowing down on the fish.
Rin sat quietly next to Ah-Uhn sighing heavily. Sesshomaru-sama had left and Jaken refused to play with her. She wanted to go see the pretty miko her Lord had brought with them. But, Sesshomaru-sama told her not to go near the girl until he said it was alright. He never said she could go look at the miko so she decided going to see her wasn't a bad idea. Sesshomaru-sama had placed her in a different clearing than the one there camp was in.
Rin got up and skipped down the path towards the miko. She quietly looked through the bushes and watched the girl. She smiled happily when she saw the girl awake and eating the food she had left for her.
"I know your there, come out whoever you are." Rin froze in surprise before slowly stepping out of the forest.
Olivia listened carefully to the sound of a being walking up on her. Who ever it was had no demonic aura and could possible be a demon. 'I wonder who it is.' Olivia continued to eat to make it seem as if she had sensed a presence.
"I know your there, come out whoever you are." Olivia turned and watched a small girl materialize out of the forest. "Can I help you little one?"
"Um, I am sorry to disturb you Miko-sama. I just wanted to look at you. Sesshomaru-sama said that I could not play with until he said it was alright." Rin smiled brightly at the woman seated across the clearing from her.
Olivia smiled slightly. 'Now I know who is taking care of me. I must not have released all my powers when I thought I did. That could be the only reason he would say that. Oh well. Maybe this girl tell me where Sesshomaru is so I can yell at him some more. This time I'll keep my powers in check.' "Okay, what is your name hun?" Olivia stood up and stretched before walking over to where the little girl stood.
"I'm Rin! Who are you? Are you coming with us?" Rin stared curiously at the girl.
"I'm Olivia and yes, I guess I am coming with you. Do you know where Sesshomaru is?"
"He went away for a while. He'll be back. Will you be my new Mommy?" Rin's innocent eye's stared up at Olivia who wondered why a young child would ask such a question.
"Umm… Uh… I…don't you have a Mommy?"
"No. My Mommy died a long time ago. Sesshomaru-sama takes care of Rin. Will you pleeeassssseeeee!"
"Uh… I guess so." Olivia barely had a chance to utter the words before Rin jumped on her crushed her leg. She completely forgot about Sesshomaru's no touching rule.
"Yay!" She squealed loudly. "Now you can play with Rin and Sing with Rin and Take care of Rin!" Olivia smiled softly.
"Who's Rin?"
"Rin is Rin." Rin pointed a finger at herself.
"No, you are Rin. When you talk about yourself your suppose to say I am Rin." Rin nodded
"I am Rin. I am Rin. I am Rin." Rin hopped around chanting the word over and over again.
"Rin, what are you doing here? Where is Jaken?" Rin turned around and watched Sesshomaru walking up the path.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Rin… I mean I have a new Mommy. Jaken would not play with Rin so Rin came to look at the pretty Lady, but not to touch. She knew where Rin was hiding and Rin had to come out to say Hi." Rin ran back, grabbed Olivia hand, and dragged her up to Sesshomaru.
"Mommy wanted to find you."
"Rin, go back to camp and tell Jaken to come here."
"Yes milord." Rin skipped off down the path, humming and sing softly.
"What do you want with this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru watched the girls' aura rise slight and change a faint red color.
"I wasn't done yelling at you, but considering I almost destroyed the plant by doing something I've never done before, I think I let it slide. You know it was entirely your fault right?" She glared at him.
"It was not my fault miko. You obviously had a bad teacher."
"Well, next time you look in a mirror tell yourself that considering it was your future-self who trained me. As I have already told you, it was also your future self who gave me this medallion which obviously does something other than what you told me it did." Olivia looked up at him with her eyebrow raised. "You didn't tell me what it really does so I want you to know."
Sesshomaru glared impassively at the young female in front of him. She had dare command him? He vaguely wondered if his future self had allowed it.
"Did you talk me this way in the future?"
"No, but in the future I had never wanted to kill you." She smirked at him. "Now how about this, I will fight you and if I win or pin you, you have to tell me everything this medallion needs. If you win or pin me, I don't know you set the terms."
"If I win you will have to be my servant." Sesshomaru watched the look of disgust that passed of Olivia's beautiful face. "Until you have reached a point when you can beat me." Olivia nodded. She assumed fighting stance and waited for attack.
Sesshomaru smirked lightly. 'This girl was foolish to think she could beat me even though I acknowledge her as a worthy opponent.' He quickly drew the Tokijin and sped towards, slightly slower, his using demon speed. He swung his blade expecting her to move. She how every did nothing but hold her position. Sesshomaru stared at her curiously as he watched his blade slash into her arm. She didn't even flinch. She turned and lifted her arm causing a giant hand to appear out of the earth just as he was about to land. It reached around and grabbed him, trapping his legs and leaving his arm free. She quickly wrapped his arms in cuffs made of lightening.
Sesshomaru pushed his aura against her throwing her back a few feet and releasing him for her prison. Sesshomaru decided not to take any more chances and began using his full strength. He was surprised that she had used the sacrifice attack on him. That was attack he himself used constantly. For some reason he felt a swelling of pride on her use of attack.
Olivia hit Sesshomaru with a small blast of purification burning his arm. Sesshomaru jumped, catching her off guard and slammed her into a near by tree. She wrapped her legs around him and flipped him away from her. He landed on the ground where she froze him and wrapped him in earth.
"I win. Spill." She released Sesshomaru from her spell and approached him. "I guess I kinda cheated since I knew all of your moves. I have no doubt that you can kick my ass fairly well considering I very seldom ever beat you unless you have something I desperately want. Then I fight as hard as I can so I can't get it. Now tell me what it means." Sesshomaru looked at her slightly puzzled but shook his head.
"Alright, a deal is a deal although you did not technically beat me, you just pinned me. Now, the medallion is truly a symbol of my protection. It also enhances spiritual powers and helps keep them in check. It also means that you are my interest and is a sign of courtship. It symbolizes that you are to be respected"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, rewind. Did you just say the words courtship, my, and interest in the same statement referring to me?" Her eyebrows were arched and she had a look of shock on her face.
"Yes I did. As I was saying, you are to be respected as if you were the Lady of the West. Only I can remove the necklace and apparently my future self has magnified the power of the medallion to comply with your powers. If you had worn the medallion under its usual strength when you lost control of your powers, you would have broken it."
"If you can take it off, then why don't you just take it off me so I can go back to Kagome and Inuyasha and figure out my connection with this place and get home so I can kick your ass!"
"Maybe I don't wish to take it off. If I remove it then I can't do this." He wrapped his arm and tail around her and kissed her deeply.
Olivia almost fainted from astonishment. This was the second time this Taiyoukai and incase the first time wasn't shocking enough, this was worse. Before she knew it she was responding to it, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her body against his.
Sesshomaru smirked inwardly when he felt her response. He deepened the kiss and slid his arm down her back.
"Umm, Milord, did you want to see me?" Jaken called from out in the woods. Sesshomaru growled and pulled away from Olivia.
"Jaken, you saw that this Sesshomaru was busy. Show yourself and receive punishment." Sesshomaru watched Jaken's trembling form walking into the clear. He had his head down and fear emanated of off him in sickening waves.
"Because this Sesshomaru is busy, you won't get a harsh punishment until I have finished. I will order to play with Rin, catch dinner, prepare it and shine my swords. You can not utter a word unless it is to inform me of danger to Rin and Olivia, or to answer a quest they ask. You may go." Jaken scrambled out of the clearing eager to get away from his master before he decided he was not to busy to give him the harder punishment now instead of waiting later. What he couldn't understand was why his lord was kissing a filthy ningen. Now that he thought about it, maybe it had something to do with his trip to go see Kiratsu.
Sesshomaru turned to face Olivia. She sat on an upraised tree root with her head down.
"Olivia, this Sesshomaru has a story to tell you…"
