Chapter 2:

Her touch...

Mai continued walking with Inuyasha.her eyes started to get weary and her feet started to hurt but she didn't want Inuyasha to think she was a bother.She felt something that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.she held on tighter to Inuyasha's hitoe sleeve.Inuyasha blushed more her warmth was comforting but she kept holding tighter and tighter.She then started to shake.he looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel a demon approaching...a big and scary one."

She said closing her eyes tight.

"Don't worry we are almost there I bet my brother will protect us."

Mai smiled at him with one eye opened.She still held on tight.His blood began to rush to his heart fast all he did was keep on blushing.They arrived at a big hut and Inuyasha opened the bamboo door.

"Mother are you here!"

He yelled.A woman opened the sliding door she had long raven black hair and grey eyes.

"Yes Inuyasha I am here...well who did you bring with you?"

She said walking to the shy young Mai.Mai was scared she held Inuyasha's arm tight shaking and her eyes squeezed shut.Izayoi bent down and rubbed the 7 year old girl's head.Mai opened her eyes opened halfway she fel comforted.she walked over to miss Izayoi.and held her.for a moment she thought it was her mother because she had the same warmth like her's.

"Your so warm miss lady."

"Inuyasha you didn't mention you name?"

"I forgot well she knows now."

Inuyasha said rubbing the back of his head.

"My nam is Izayoi."

Inuyasha's mother said with an warm smile.

"My name is Mai..."

She said smiling a hearty smile.Then Sesshomaru came in.

"Hey youkai."

Mai said waving.

"You know him too?"

Izayoi asked still smiling at the adorable little girl.

"Its Sesshomaru not youkai."

"Oh hello Sesshomaru so...Inuyasha is your brother you two look alike."

"Hmph."

Sesshomaru said walking to his room.Many years went by mostly 10 years went by and Mai became the village princess and priestess.She wore a light pink and red priestess kimono.The hitoe part was pink with red flowers at the end of the long sleeves and the Obi was purple with a blue green string around it,she wore a red long skirt instead of hakama pants.She kept her hair in a red chop stick with to long bangs on each side of her face she was now 16.She used a sword and bow and arrows as her weapons the only elements she knew were Fire,dark,and water...she would soon find out earth,light,and air..She was oicking herbs one day.Inuyasha's mother had past 5 years ago.Sesshomaru continued to stay with them because Mai captured his heart as well.Inuyasha was fully taken by her too.she had a weird affect on both of them.Mai looked up as Inuyasha stared down at her from a cherry blossom tree while Sesshomaru was across on the Sakura tree.

"Can I get any help...I can't pick all these herbs by myself."

She said.

"No...your the one who wanted to pick them so your on your own."

"Im afraid my half witted brother is right."

Mai whined.

"Please...please.."

She begged but Inuyasha was jumping on Sesshomaru angry he called him a halfwit.

"Who you calling a halfwit monotone freak!"

Inuyasha yelled.The two argued Mai walked away they weren't listening to her.
