Hello everyone. : ) : ) I'm in a happy mood today, well, I'm in a happy mood now. Lol! Sorry about the long wait on this chapter! My computer was down because the power button busted some how. I don't really know how but I pushed it and it wouldn't work so yeah, I had to go ten days without even using my computer! Cries Lol. : ) : ) I'm sorry to have to say this but, once again, the lemon content has been cut from the story. Once again, I have seen my error and no I'm not some church person who believes that god can do all and what not. Sorry if that insults any of you in any way. Anyway, I hope that you all enjoy this chapter! Oh yeah, thanks for the reviews.

Why be Willing?

I sat in the sunlight, enjoying the warmth that it gave me. Rin was playing with

Ah-Un again, only this time, Jaken had joined her. Sesshoumaru was standing beside the castle in the shade keeping an eye on the four of us. 'This is wonderful! If only everyday could be like this. That would truly be the best thing in the world!' I smiled as I saw Jaken trip over a rock. Rin laughed and helped him to his feet.

"How'd that happen?" Jaken wondered as he turned around to see the size of the rock he had tripped over.

It was no bigger than his own foot.

"Oh," he said embarrassed.

"Come on master Jaken!" Rin cried as she ran after Ah-Un.

The imp got to his feet and followed after Rin. Sesshoumaru turned to go inside, seeing that nothing bad was going to happen. I looked at him and saw that he was leaving. 'I wonder what Sesshoumaru is doing.' I got to my feet and ran after him. 'He hasn't said a word to me since this morning. Usually he would ask me some sort of strange question or come over to me to make sure that nothing was going to happen!' Sesshoumaru went into the castle before I caught up to him. When I entered the castle, his golden eyes looked back at me and he continued to walk to the stairs. 'What is he doing?' I wondered as I slowed my run to a walk and followed him up the stairs. Sesshoumaru still didn't say a word even though he knew that I was close behind him. He walked to the top of the stairs and down the hallway to his bed chamber.

Sesshoumaru left the door open and I slowly walked to the opened door, cautious to what might happen. 'He had to know that I was behind him. With his sense of hearing how could he not know that I was following him?' I thought as I reached the doorway. An arm reached out of the darkness and grabbed my wrist. On the arm were two raspberry coloured claw marks that were evenly spaced apart. My heart pounded when I felt the grip on my wrist tighten a little. Sesshoumaru pulled me into the room and forced me against the wall.

"I knew that you would follow me Tsuto," he said gently.

"What do you mean?" I asked him a little confused.

Right when I had finished my sentence Sesshoumaru pressed his lips against mine, knowing that I couldn't resist him. I didn't know what he was planning to do and it really didn't matter to me. Sesshoumaru's tongue found its entrance into my mouth and touched mine. At first I didn't know what to do but I let him continue. 'Why did he trick me into coming? Is he planning to do the same thing as last night?' I wondered as Sesshoumaru's grip on my wrist loosened. He shut the door and put his hand on my hip to feel my slender body. Sesshoumaru's kiss was just to distract me from what he was really going to do and it was working. I placed my hands on his shoulders, moving my body off of the wall. Sesshoumaru moved his hand under my shirt and up my side. He pulled his mouth away from mine and stared at me with his golden eyes.

"Let's have another try shall we?" he whispered to me.

My heart pounded as he spoke those words.

"Why now?" I whispered back.

"Because right now, you're willing," Sesshoumaru said in my ear.

'I wonder what he means by willing.' I thought as I practically clung to him.

I rested my head against Sesshoumaru's shoulder, a little confused on what he had said.

"I know you want it Tsuto, you're just afraid. There's no need to be," he whispered gently.

'How is there no need to be afraid? After everything that Naraku had done to me, how can I not be afraid?' I wondered.

"Just remember how you felt when I kissed you," Sesshoumaru said pulling me closer to him.

I calmed down slightly as I felt the warmth of his body. 'Do I want what Sesshoumaru wants? Should I let him have what he wants even though I'm not really sure?' I felt safe with him. I felt protection as long as he was near by. I sighed and lifted my head to look at Sesshoumaru. 'His golden eyes look so different now. They aren't filled with hatred or anger anymore. They seem so much kinder now.'

"So do you wish for us to love each other? Or do you want to hold such a moment of until Naraku has been slain?" he asked again with more desire in his voice.

I took a deep breath as it felt like my heart had stopped. 'It would be nice to wait a while, but right now as I stare at him, everything feels like when I used to be a child. Happy, free, and loved!'

"Sesshoumaru can we wait until tonight? It's still day outside and Jaken is more than likely to just open the door at this time!" I wondered.

A smile appeared on his face that I had agreed to actually mate with him.

"Then tonight it shall be," he whispered putting my back against the wall.

'What is he doing now?' I asked myself as I felt his claw under my shirt. He gently felt the side of my body and then moved his face closer to mine.

"But let's have some excitement first," Sesshoumaru said as he pressed his lips against mine.

I moved my hands to his face, taking in the kiss. Once again his tongue had found its entrance into my mouth. It searched around my mouth until it met up with my own. His hand came out from under my shirt and it came up to my chin. Sesshoumaru pulled away and stared at me while holding my chin.

"That's just a taste of what you'll be getting tonight Tsuto," he whispered as he let go of me.

I was speechless, like there was nothing I could say. I had wanted what Sesshoumaru was offering to me. 'How can I be so foolish? Why am I falling for Sesshoumaru when he is older than me?' I wrapped my arms around my chest and sat down. Sesshoumaru knelt down in front of me.

"Go back outside with Jaken and Rin," he said grabbing my wrist and pulling me onto my feet.

I nodded my head and opened the door.

"Everything is safe here Tsuto, no one will come for you."

I left the room and went down the stairs to get outside.

Naraku sent one of his demon puppets after Inuyasha. Along with a hive of sanyosho to keep Miroku from using his wind tunnel. He went to the village where my family was. My father had left to work on the village bridge again. A horrid laugh filled the area where he was. The villagers had heard his voice and fled into their huts with fear that something had happened with the promise.

"Rain, get in the hut!" my mother demanded.

My sister obeyed and ran into the hut with worry on what was happening.

"What do you want Naraku? You've already taken Tsuto!"

"Hahaha! You know why I'm here. Tsuto fled from my castle and she came here for refuge!" Naraku said as he appeared before my mother.

"She's not here anymore," my mother growled.

"Of course not. She's with lord Sesshoumaru and I need to get her back to me willingly! So, I'm taking her sister to solve the problem!" he laughed again.

My mother stared in shock. Naraku pushed her against the hut wall and knocked her out. He then went into the hut and grabbed my sister by the arm.

"Get your disgusting hands off of me! If Tsuto wasn't afraid of you, then why should I?" Rain shouted with hatred.

Another menacing laugh came from Naraku.

"Tsuto was more than afraid of me wench! She was so frightened that I got whatever was wished of her!" he said as his grip tightened on my sister.

"Then why do you need me?" she screamed.

"I'm using you to draw her out!" he laughed again.

Kagura fought against Inuyasha and the group with the demon puppet at her side.

"Damn you! Damn you to hell!" Inuyasha growled as he attacked the fake Naraku with his sword.

"Do you take me for a fool Inuyasha?" Naraku laughed.

Brown tentacles appeared from under the baboon suit and wrapped themselves around Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, look out!" Kagome called as Sango through her boomerang.

The hiraikotsu sliced off the tentacle and Inuyasha fell to the ground, gasping for air. Inuyasha growled and he swung his sword.

"Wind Scar!" he cried as energy came from the blade.

The attacked destroyed the demon puppet and a piece of wood fell to the ground and sliced in half.

"Naraku won't be pleased about this," Kagura said in a low voice.

"Kagura, return to the castle! Inuyasha can wait now that I have what I need!" Naraku's voice came from a far away distance.

Kagura pulled a feather off of her head and jumped onto it as it grew in size. She flew away in the direction of the castle.

"I'm following her! Don't even try to stop me!" Inuyasha growled as he chased after Kagura after sheathing his sword.

"Inuyasha," Miroku shouted.

It was almost night fall as I sat in the grass and stared up at the sky. It was a beautiful sunset. Pink and orange were mixed together and at the top of all that was a wondrous shade of purple. 'The sky looks so bright tonight. All that pink is liable to make someone forget all their troubles!' I smiled as a gust of wind played with my braid.

"Look at the sky master Jaken! Isn't it pretty?" Rin said as she pointed towards the now setting sun.

I laughed to myself as I closed my eyes. 'I wonder what Rain is up to! Knowing her she's probably out playing in the forest, without any care in the world.' I fell onto my back and stared at the cloudless sky. Sesshoumaru opened the castle doors and came out into the sunlight. He walked over to me and sat down. I continued to stare at the sky without even noticing that he was there. 'I can't believe all the things I missed over the years. All the times I could have been outside staring at the stars, I was trapped in that forsaken castle with that bastard!' I thought with hatred. Sesshoumaru looked down at me as I just stared at the endless sky.

"When Naraku is dead, we will rule this land together," he said with a small smile on his face.

I snapped out of daydream and sat up. My eyes were dazed because I had been deep in thought too long.

"Come now Tsuto, everything will be fine when all this is over," Sesshoumaru whispered as he pulled me closer to him.

"Whatever," I said quietly.

The sun finally fell over the horizon and the stars showed themselves in the dark sky. Jaken and Rin had gone inside a while before. 'The stars look different somehow.' I thought gazing up at them.

"It's night Tsuto, are you ready?" Sesshoumaru said desirably into my ear.

I was still lost. I silently nodded my head against his side. Sesshoumaru got to his feet and grabbed my wrist. I got to my feet and followed him into the castle. He led me up the stairs and down the hall.

"You have to promise not to take it too far," I whispered to him before we entered his chamber.

Sesshoumaru pulled me against him after shutting the door.

"Don't worry Tsuto, I'll stop if you tell me to. That is, unless you give yourself to me," he whispered in my ear.

I started to feel vulnerable as Sesshoumaru looked down on me with wanting eyes. 'Why do I want this? Do I actually love Sesshoumaru enough to have such feelings already?' I wondered as I looked up at him. His golden eyes were filled with kindness again.

"Now, let's make you want this even more," Sesshoumaru said with desire in his voice.

Sesshoumaru took off his shirt and metal armor, along with the fluffy thing and his two swords. He didn't take off my shirt or any part of my clothing. He walked over to me from his pile of clothing and put his arm around my back to pull me against him again.

"Take out your braid Tsuto. Show me the true length of your hair."

Before I could reach up and take out my braid, Sesshoumaru's hand was already taking it out for me. He threw the hair tie onto his pile and slid his claw through my hair. 'Why would he want me to take my hair out?' I asked myself as Sesshoumaru's hand reached my back. He smiled slightly before pressing his lips to mine. I put my arms on his shoulders and pulled myself a little closer to him. His tongue went into my mouth and touched mine. I moved my tongue to match up with his and it was my turn to explore. I felt his fangs dig themselves into it as Sesshoumaru seemed to enjoy what was going on. He slipped his hand under my shirt and slowly slid it up my body, not wanting to break the kiss. When my shirt had reached my shoulder blades, Sesshoumaru had hit a fork in the road. He could either break the kiss long enough to take it off, or let the kiss continue and wait for it to end to get what he wanted. Being his usual impatient self, he pulled away from me and slid my shirt over my head and off my arms. 'Why does it feel like this? How can I want this when everything had happened like it has?' I thought as Sesshoumaru placed his hand on my back. I could feel the warmth from his body hit mine. The feeling it sent through me was enough to assure me that I would be alright. Sesshoumaru had lifted me off the ground and moved my legs out of the way so he could place me on his bed.

Once again I'm sorry, Another Scene Edit

When morning came, the four of us left the castle and went into the forest. Rin rode Ah-Un as usual and Jaken was leading the way once again. Sesshoumaru stayed with me at the back of the group. It was surprising that I had to wake him up this morning incase Jaken burst into the room like he had the previous day.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, you're unusually tired today!" Jaken said looking back at him.

He was returned with a cold stare by Sesshoumaru for noting such a fact. Sesshoumaru bent down and grabbed a rock when Jaken had turned back around with fear. 'I wonder what he plans to do with that!' I thought as he stood back up. I watched with amusement as Sesshoumaru threw the rock at the back of Jaken's head.

"Ow! Sorry, my lord!" Jaken cried as a goose egg appeared where the rock had pelted him.

"Excellent aim lord Sesshoumaru!" Rin complimented.

I laughed to myself with mockery towards Jaken. The moment ended and Sesshoumaru stopped walking. He had picked up a familiar scent.

"What is it lord Sesshoumaru?" Jaken asked looking around all over the place for what Sesshoumaru had smelt.

He grabbed my wrist tightly and started running.

"Jaken, make sure that Rin stays here!" he commanded.

"Uh, yes my lord."

'I wonder where we're going. Sesshoumaru has never grabbed me this tightly before.' I thought running as fast as I could behind Sesshoumaru.

"Stay close to me Tsuto, no matter what happens!"

"Hahaha! So nice to see that you've decided to join us lord Sesshoumaru!" Naraku's voice bellowed through the trees.

The tone of his voice sent fear through me like nothing else ever had. 'No, it can't be him! There's no way that he could know where we are!' I shouted over in my mind.

"Naraku," Sesshoumaru growled.

"You even brought me what I've desired for so long!" Naraku's voice mocked.

'He can't beat Sesshoumaru. There's no possible way that he can! Even if he could, I wouldn't allow him to take me away again.'

"What makes you think that you can have her?" Sesshoumaru growled again.

Another laugh filled the area.

"Because, if Tsuto doesn't come with me willingly then I'll kill her younger sister!"

"You lie you bastard! You don't have Rain with you!" I screamed at him.

Then Naraku appeared with Kagura and Sheira at his side. In front of him was Rain trying to break free.

"Get your filthy hands off of me you half breed! Disgusting demon from hell!" Rain shouted as she kicked at his leg.

"Shut up wench!"

'Rain! That jerk!' I screamed in my mind.

"Don't you dare hurt her Naraku! I swear that if you do I will kill you!" I said with rage and hatred.

A smile appeared on his face at hearing my voice so angry.

"I see that lord Sesshoumaru has been able to make you talk more."

Sesshoumaru stared coldly at Naraku with his hand still on my wrist.

"Tsuto don't worry about me! Don't go with this creep! Stay with Sesshoumaru and don't trade yourself for me!" Rain said as she kicked Naraku in the shin.

'I can't do that to you! You're my sister and I wouldn't force being with Naraku onto anyone else. It would just be too cruel! Besides, I can't let him hurt her.'

"No! I will not let him hurt you! You're my little sister Rain. It's my job to protect you from harm!" I cried trying to get closer to her but Sesshoumaru wouldn't let go of my wrist.

"Hehehe let her go Sesshoumaru. It's obvious that she wants to come with me," Naraku mocked with an evil laugh.

Sesshoumaru growled at him, hating that a lesser demon had told him what to do.

"You can't tell me what to do," he growled hatefully, pulling me back closer to him.

"Let Naraku take her off your hands. I'm sure that you hate Tsuto for being human anyway," Sheira said, mocking Sesshoumaru.

"You don't get it do you? Tsuto belongs to me and always will, for our bodies have connected more than once!" Naraku said as he held Rain off the ground.

"Let me go!" she shouted again.

A smirk appeared on Sesshoumaru's face as he found what Naraku had said amusing.

"Yeah, but you couldn't get her to want it! Could you Naraku? She wasn't willing enough for you to get her pregnant!" he laughed, pulling me against his side.

"What?" Naraku gasped.

'What is Sesshoumaru doing? Why won't he let me save Rain from that bastard? He knows that she's my sister, so why won't he let me protect her?' I thought as my head went against his side. Rain grabbed Naraku by his arm and got her feet up there to hold herself up when she freed her hand from his grip. I looked at the ground for a second and took my hand away from Sesshoumaru.

"Don't you dare hurt my sister," I cried, running at Naraku.

A smirk appeared on Naraku's face as I ran at him. Rain was dropped to the ground and at that moment Sesshoumaru ran up and grabbed my shirt. 'Huh?' I wondered as my feet didn't touch the ground anymore. Rain quickly got to her feet and ran behind Sesshoumaru, who was backing away with me in his hand.

"You dare interfere!" Naraku cursed at him.

"Stay here Tsuto, and don't let him near you again!" Sesshoumaru demanded as he put me back on the ground.

"Alright," I said quietly as I wrapped my arms around Rain.

'What did he do to you while I was gone? What could he have possible done to one so young?' I wondered, pulling her close to me.

"I'm so sorry Rain, I should've been there for you," I whispered to her as tears started to form in my eyes.

"Don't cry Tsuto. I'm alright and everything will be alright when this is all over! I'm sure of it!" she replied, trying to calm me down.

'I'm the older sibling and yet she acts so unafraid for her age. I was scared out of my mind at her age and then I started to grow up little by little!' I thought letting go of her.

"Sesshoumaru will keep us safe. He always does!" I said with confidence.

Sesshoumaru drew Tokijin and ran at Naraku. Kagura and Sheira moved away from him.

"Don't just stand there, go after her!" Naraku growled as Sesshoumaru attacked him with the sword.

"You're the one who doesn't get it Naraku. Tsuto doesn't belong to you anymore! She abandoned you because you couldn't give her what she needed," he growled, striking Naraku again.

"Are you trying to tell me that you could? That she left me for someone such as you?" Naraku said with some amusement.

"Tsuto was willing. She even loved me back, something she never did for you! Now she is my mate and you cannot take her away as long as I am around to protect her from you!"

Sesshoumaru growled as he stabbed the Tokijin into Naraku's stomach.
