Hello everyone! That's right, it took me a day to finish another chapter of this story. Be happy. : ) : ) I didn't really have anything better to do so I decided to type the next chapter. Thank you all who reviewed and to all those people who are going to review… I hope. Lol. Well I apologize for any spelling mistakes, I don't take the time right after I type it to fix it, but I will get around to it one day. : ) : ) I made it as long as I could and I admit it, kind of sad as well. Since you know, it's a Tragedy. Please enjoy. : ) : )

Human Heart, Demon Body

'It's Kai, but how? He didn't go through the same thing did he?' My heart was pounding and I didn't know why.

"Rika, you know him?" Cankai asked as she stopped his stick from hitting her.

The she was pushed over by his strength and she started laughing. 'Wait, they both look like Kai! Are they siblings?'

"Sorry half breed, but I have no clue who you are."

Cankai jumped to her feet and tried to stop herself from laughing on.

"Rika… this is my twin brother Naka To Kai. Kai…. this is lord Sesshoumaru's prisoner and she's not half demon," she laughed, placing a hand on Naka To's shoulder.

"Uh yeah, she is a half breed! Can't you smell it, you dough head?" he asked, pointing at the markings on my arms.

"Oh well, maybe it was her night to become human. I mean it was dark out when I went to go feed her," Cankai laughed again, shrugging it off.

'A half demon has a night to become a human? Does that mean that they have a night to become full demon too?' Suddenly Cankai's laughter stopped and it looked like her and Naka To were looking at something that was right behind me. 'That smell… is it Sesshoumaru?' Panic started to take a toll on my senses and I was about to jump forward when someone took hold of both my wrists.

"You do not listen to rules, do you half breed?" his cold voice hit my ears as if it were and icy wind.

I didn't answer him at all, didn't even acknowledge his presence with a shout or anything.

Cankai and Naka To were trying not to notice what was going on. They knew what happened to those who broke the rules, and wanted nothing to do with being part of it.

"Naka To, Cankai, get back to your duties," Sesshoumaru demanded, not allowing his anger to show.

The twins nodded and then walked towards the castle doors without looking back. 'Sesshoumaru has all of these people on a leash. They all listen to everything they're told.' The doors were shut and then Sesshoumaru's grip on my wrists tightened.

"I did not wander. Jaken was there, you unfortunately were there, and Cankai was here. Does that count as wandering?" I asked with anger flowing through me.

"Half breed, where you are from, are humans allowed to defy the rules?"

"That depends on the rule. If you steal, you do to jail. If you kill someone, you either go to jail or get the death sentence. Take a snack when you're not supposed to, you get away with it," I growled, trying hard not to attack him or struggle.

A small growl came from his throat as he held me where I was. He knew I wasn't struggling, and he wanted me to.

"So females are allowed to do what they wish?"

"Damn right," I whispered.

I didn't struggle and then Sesshoumaru released me, as if he was bored. 'What is he planning?'

"You do realize that this is not your freedom, no matter how much you want it to be."

"Go suck a lemon! At this moment I might be your damn prisoner, but I will not stay one. At some point I will get away from you and I'll get home," I explained, spinning around and backing away.

Sesshoumaru's face wasn't angry like he sounded. He didn't look angry, but I knew that he was. 'Let's see how far we can push him before he freaks out.'

"Fight me!" I demanded.

He held his stoic position as he watched and listened to my words of demand. 'If I can get him to fight me, then I can prove that I can take care of myself. Then I wouldn't need him to be around all the time!' I thought with confidence and a smirk on my face.

"Fight me, Sesshoumaru! I'll prove to you that I don't need you around all the time."

"I will not. Half breed, you may have a demon body, but you have a heart of a human," he growled, looking at me sternly.

"Damn it, just do it! I challenge you Sesshoumaru! I may have been a human my whole life, but now I'm not. I do stand a chance against you!" I shouted, pointing at him when I said the last sentence.

'Just fight me, let me challenge you.' Sesshoumaru took a step towards me and when I blinked, he was gone.

"Damn it," I whispered, thinking that he had disappeared.

'Coward, he's a lord and he ran away!'

"If you wish to challenge me, half breed, you'll have to learn to use your demon senses," Sesshoumaru said from behind e.

'He's so fast. I blinked and he was gone. How is that possible?'

A strange toxic smell went by and then it started to fill around me. 'What smells? It's making me really sick right now.' The world started to spin and I though I was going to hurl. My legs gave out, and before I hit my knees, Sesshoumaru's arms were under mine to hold me up.

"What are you doing? L… let me go," I whispered weakly, not able to move my arms to struggle away.

"Your nose picks up the poisonous scent of my claws. It seems that your nose is even more sensitive than my own," he said softly into my ear.

When the scent was gone, my stomach was still turning and I didn't want to move. 'What did he do to me? I really don't feel good right now.' Sesshoumaru picked me up into his arms and carried me like a man would to his bride after being wed toward the castle.

"I don't need to be carried. I do have legs you know," I said with some annoyance.

"Being the half breed that you are, you need to eat that human food. Now that your body is infected with a small amount of poison, you are unable to move on your own," Sesshoumaru replied, looking at me with his golden eyes.

'I may now hate Sesshoumaru, but I wonder what made him so cold. Was there a reason for it or was he just raised that way?' My eyes wandered to the ground, away from his gaze and spotted a rock sticking out of it. 'since he's not paying attention, maybe he'll trip over that rock.' I waited and Sesshoumaru merely stepped over it. He opened the door and then he walked inside. 'I wonder…'

"Sesshoumaru, why are you the way you are Why do you hate everything?" I wondered randomly.

To me it was like he hated everything, like nothing mattered at all. I didn't know that he could actually feel anything besides anger towards any person.

"Do not concern yourself with that matter."

I didn't know what Sesshoumaru's answer was. I had fallen asleep after I had asked the question, which wasn't really smart. Sesshoumaru had noticed the steady breathing that was now coming from me and stopped walking where he was. He was in a hallway that could lead to either the kitchens or his bed chamber.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord…" Jaken cried as he ran through the hallway with his eyes closed.

"That's enough Jaken! What is it that you want?"

"My apologies my lord! It seems that there is an outsider at the castle. Naka to is holding her off but she demands to see your presence," Jaken explained with high excitement towards the strange newcomer.

"I have no reason to see her. Tell Naka To to get rid of her."

Jaken was shocked to see that his lord wouldn't do anything about someone trespassing on his lands.

"B… but my lord, Naka To is becoming weaker and isn't…"

Jaken was cut off by Sesshoumaru before he could finish.

"Leave the matter Jaken. I will deal with this intruder if you refrain from speaking further."

"Aye my lord!"

With that said, Sesshoumaru took off towards the other end of the castle with my unconscious body in his arms. Jaken just stood there, shocked more than ever because of Sesshoumaru's actions.

"Sometimes I wish he would just cut me down with that strange sword of his."

Outside the back of the castle, Naka To was on one knee with sweat coming from his face. In front of him was Cankai, holding shuriken tightly in her fingers right in front of the strange woman.

"You cannot win against me girl. That boy's fate has been sealed by my hands and my hands alone," the girl laughed with an evil smirk on her face.

"You're just some demon girl who thinks she has the power to control someone's life time, but you're wrong. Kai will not die because of you!" Cankai growled, lowering into a fighter stance.

"Cankai… I can hand her. This woman… will kill you if she has the chance," Naka To said weakly, barely able to get to his feet.

At that moment, Sesshoumaru burst through the back castle doors and then all attention was drawn to him.

"Ah, Sesshoumaru, you've finally arrived. It seems that that girl's fate is to become done by my hands as well," the girl laughed again.

Placing my unconscious body on the ground, Sesshoumaru let a growl escape him as he stared at the unknown girl. She didn't have a weapon with her, only her hands and feet to fight with. Her eyes were the colour of blood and her hair was as dark as the night sky.

"She is but a prisoner here, there's no need to set her fate with yours. A demon of death and fate should not set foot on my lands," Sesshoumaru said as he walked forward with cold eyes.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, let me take care of her. I will not let her get away with hurting Kai!" Cankai growled towards the girl, gesturing towards her brother.

In my sleep, I could hear their voices speaking and I didn't really understand what they were talking about. 'What's going on? Why is everyone shouting?'

"Wake up Rika. Sesshoumaru will need your help for this battle. Naka To Kai will need your help as well. Your human heart may be what he needs to feel normal," the familiar demon voice said to me from the darkness.

"Kai?" I whispered, slowly opening my eyes.

The sunlight blinded me for a moment but then I sat up on impulse because of what I heard. 'A girl in black… Why is she here right now? Why would she want to be here?' My stomach had stopped turning and my attention was turned to Naka To, who was still sitting on the ground. Sesshoumaru suddenly vanished from his spot and then he appeared in front of the girl with his claws ready. When he took a swipe at her, she dodged and a light came from her right hand. 'What is she doing? Is she attacking Sesshoumaru or…' Naka To had realized it as well and suddenly jumped to his feet. A blast of energy was shot from the girl towards Cankai who wasn't really paying attention anymore. Naka To shoved his sister out of the way at the last second and was hit instead.

"Kai!" Cankai screamed with horror and tears in her eyes.

The moment the blast hit Naka To, a bright light surrounded the area and a muffled cry could be heard. Te cry wasn't from Cankai, but the strange girl.

I felt my heart break as I watched Naka To Kai take the attack for his sister. At that moment, I didn't see a stranger die. All I could see was the face of my best friend fading from my life. The bright light vanished and al I could see was Cankai sitting beside her brother's body with tears falling down her cheeks. Sesshoumaru was holding the strange girl by her throat and digging his claws into it. 'That bitch! How could she do that without a reason! I'm gunna kill her!'

"Sesshoumaru, let her go," I demanded, getting to my feet.

His golden eyes fell onto me and he could smell my new found hatred for the woman.

"So the child wishes to challenge me. Ha, you heard her Sesshoumaru, drop me!" the girl mocked.

"Silence wench!" Sesshoumaru growled towards her.

'For killing Kai, this woman is gunna pay. I'll make sure of that. He tried to save his sister, and he did. There's no way in hell that the sacrifice will be in vain!'

"Kai, you can't die… Come on… I've tried before remember? You didn't…" Cankai whispered to Naka To.

"Come on sis, don't be silly. Everyone deserves to die where they lived, and I get that honor. I just wish… that I could have gotten to know… the half breed better. Like you did," he replied with a faint smile before turning to dust and blowing away with the wind.

Tears started to form in my eyes as well and then they fell down my cheeks. I stared at Sesshoumaru with a straight face, waiting for him to release the girl without showing a sign of weakness.

"I'm gunna kill her! And at this moment… No one can stop me!" I growled, cracking my knuckles.

I ran at the girl even though Sesshoumaru was still holding onto her by her throat. Before I could even reach her, Sesshoumaru dropped her and then grabbed both of my arms to stop me in a blink of an eye. 'I want to kill her! I hate this woman and I don't even know who she is!' I thought as I tried to struggle against Sesshoumaru's hold.

"Enough, half breed! I will not have you battle on my lands!" he growled into my ear.

"I don't care what you will have and not have! I'm gunna kill her!" I cried, jumping to loosen his hold on me.

'I lost Kai, and I can't get him back! If that's not enough, Cankai lost her brother and probably her best friend!' In the background of all the commotion, fast footsteps were heard and then the smell of blood filled my nose. Looking around, and finally seeing the strange girl with a kunai in her throat.

"Cankai," I whispered, freezing at the sight.

"You killed him, so now I'm killing you. Looks like your fate was sealed by MY hands!" she growled before quickly shifting to the right and ripping the kunai out of the left of her throat.

"So it seems."

The girl vanished, only leaving behind her blood and scent. Sesshoumaru lifted me off my feet and carried me towards the castle doors. 'What the hell is he doing?'

"Put me down!" I cried, tears slowly falling down my cheeks.

It still felt like my heart was broken. It felt like I had lost the Kai at home, the one I fell in love with. 'I know that it wasn't my Kai, then why am I crying?' He carried me into the castle and my struggles became weaker because of my thoughts. 'Why did he have to die? What did he do wrong? I know I didn't know him for very long, but still. He acted just like Kai did on most days.'

Sesshoumaru turned into his bedroom hallway where both of our rooms were.

"Why do you shed tears for the death of someone you don't know?" he wondered as he carried me to the room beside his.

'Of course he doesn't understand. Stupid jerk! I bet he can't feel anything!' I didn't answer him, knowing my luck that I'd end up yelling at him, even though I didn't care if he got mad. Walking into the room, I was placed back on my feet and then I fell to my knees. The door shut and I thought Sesshoumaru had left me alone.

"I… I can see him doing that for someone. Stupid jerk… He'd do anything… for someone he loved, especially his sister," I whispered, letting myself cry.

Everything was bright around me and I wanted to make everything go dark. 'I want to go home. I want to see Haku and mom again. I wouldn't even mind playing Spyro the Dragon with that little pest from down the hall.'

"Damn it! Why does everything have to happen to me?" I cursed, punching the floor with my fist.

A footstep came from behind me and I froze, not wanting to be seen which was stupid because of the sunlight.

"Who do you speak of?" Sesshoumaru asked from behind me, slowly walking forward.

"What do you care? It's not like you want anything to do with me besides my body. You probably can't fee anything besides hate and lust anyway," I snapped, feeling angry for him not leaving.

"If you think that of me, then think what you will. A half breed with a human heart would be able to feel more than that, which would include that senseless emotion of love."

'I hate Sesshoumaru! I hate this stupid jerk!' Sesshoumaru stopped right behind me and looked down at me as I sat on my knees.

"Love is a useless emotion. One can only desire or want, not love. As you desired Naka To, I desire you."

"I did not want Naka To, and you don't want me. You keep trying to convince yourself that I belong to you and you know that I don't! Just let me go home where I can see Kai and my family!" I growled, trying not to look at him.

"The one I desire, I do not need to convince myself to want. Your scent and you persistence for freedom is enough for me to desire to have you," he whispered tauntingly as he stared down at me.

'Great, now I'm trapped in his hold again! Way to go idiot, you're doing great today! God I'm so stupid!' I scolded myself silently as I turned my face away from his.

"The why don't you have me by letting me have my freedom? The only one who's being persistent here is you!"

Slowly Sesshoumaru moved his face closer to mine, but he didn't touch our lips together. 'He's not doing anything to me. Nothing. He's barely touching me at all.' I thought with surprise.

"Stay in this chamber until you feel well enough, emotionally, to continue your new life in this castle," Sesshoumaru explained as he released my wrists and allowed me to move on my own.

'Why didn't he do anything? Sesshoumaru is up to something or thinking something evil. Or does he know that I would rather die than stay by his side?'

"Know that now until the time you wish to have me, I shall not do anything to you, as in our deal. You, half breed, no longer have to worry about listening to the rules. It seems I'll have to break you in another way," Sesshoumaru said with what sounded like a solemn tone.

He was gone through the door before I could say anything. 'Did what I say hurt him?'

With a sigh, I fell backwards on the floor, hitting my head off of it. 'What do I care if I hurt him? Look what he's done to me. If I never came to this stupid place then I could be living at home, helping my mom and Haku doing whatever!' The door opened and I figured that Sesshoumaru had come back. That was until an unfamiliar scent filled my nose. 'That kind of smells like some of the girls at home.'

"Why would lord Sesshoumaru choose someone like you? You were a human until your demon blood awakened in you, and now you're a half breed. What would make you so special?" a familiar voice echoed into the silence of my room.

"Sata…" I whispered her name as if it were some kind of curse.

'It's her. The girl that we saw last night. I really don't like her either.'

"Explain it to me girl! I've been raised here. Demon women here wish for him just to use them for his desire. Yet a complete stranger to this place, a human nonetheless, comes along and he wishes to have you!"

"What's your damage? It's not like I choose to be here! I'd rather die than stay here with that stupid jerk! If you damn well want him, then you can have him!" I yelled, sitting up and looking at her in annoyance.

At first Sata was fazed by my outburst. She figured that I wanted to stay here, that I wished to be used by her lord. Now everything she thought was turned against her. 'This girl ahs serious issues. I mean what's her damage anyway? Who would want to date an egotistical jerk!'

"Why would you not wish for him to have you?" Sata asked quietly, forgetting her rage from earlier.

"No reason. Why would you want him to? I mean, aren't you his prisoner too?"

'I just want my sunglasses so I can get away from him. Who would touch a girl like that anyway?'

"I was born here. Most of us were. There aren't many people in this castle who aren't. Cankai and Naka To Kai were the only ones I know of who weren't born in these walls."

Sata's words were solemn. She didn't seem all too happy at that moment and it caused me to think.

"What so you mean they weren't born here?" I wondered, slightly confused.

"The lord found both of them together when they were really young. Of course Cankai was the one to try to stand up to him so she could protect her brother."

'this girl has major emotion issues. Yesterday she was happy, then she was mad, and now she's all depressed!' My eyes wandered from Sata to the other door that was like a closet.

"where does that go?" I wondered, pointing to the strange door.

Sata looked towards the door and a small smirk formed on her lips.

"It goes into lord Sesshoumaru's chamber. That object he took from you, it's in there. Or it was in there. Whether he has it with him or not is unknown to me," she explained with a smirk on her face.

When my gaze met hers, she wasn't smirking anymore and she looked like she had before. 'I think she's up to something.'

"I've tried to get them back, but before I could get away, he caught me, and that was when I met you," I grumbled, trying to figure out a way to get my glasses back.

There was only one thought that didn't come to my mind and that came to hers.

"You could always seduce him," Sata suggested.

"What! Are you insane! I don't even know how to flirt!" I cried with both astonishment and some anger.

"Lord Sesshoumaru may be a strong demon, but he's still a guy. Just walk with your hips moving side to side and try to throw yourself at him. While he's distracted, search for your item on him."

"Sata, you're needed in the gardens! Leave lord Sesshoumaru's prisoner alone!" a man's voice called from outside the door of the room.

The demon girl left the room and left me alone in the solitary around me. 'Dude, there's no way that I'm gunna try to seduce Sesshoumaru. What if he takes me seriously and does something worse than touch me? But… if it will get me home, that I'll take the damn risk!'

End of Chapter 5

Hiya! So was it sad? I really hope that you all enjoyed that chapter. I had major writer's block on that chapter a while back so I think I did alright on it. : ) : ) Please don't eat me! Anyway, I should consider taking the time to try and finish the chapters for those other stories. Since I have like 1, 2, 3… 5 other next chapters started and almost done. Lol. So I bet you're all pretty happy about that. So yeah, I made the story as long as I could, and tried not to screw up the spelling too much. : ) : ) Please R&R and I'll try to update this story and the 5 other ones. : ) : )
