Sesshoumaru sat up slowly and listened around. It was the middle of the night but he kept hearing strange noises. All of a sudden he was knocked back, his body slamming against a tree. There was a sickening crunch as the attacker punched Sesshoumaru in the jaw.
A trickle of blood came out of his mouth and he narrowed his eyes, struggling against the attacker's grip. Whoever he was dealing with was strong and he was thrown against the ground. He heard more sounds and could tell that everyone else was waking up only to be knocked out by this attacker.
He stood up; ready to fight back when he saw his attacker's face and his eyes widened. It was Maika! What the hell was she doing? Maika came at him again and Sesshoumaru gave out a groan when her sword slashed his arm. He couldn't fight back…but why? He was tossed backwards again, his head hitting the ground hard. Then came hard punches, scratches from Maika's sword, even her arrow sliced through his right shoulder. It was all painful and Sesshoumaru wasn't attacking back.
He couldn't…but he didn't know why. He gave a slight gasp when he felt sharp metal run through his stomach, indicating that Maika had stabbed him. She pulled it out slowly and finally he gave out a cry of pain, one that he had held to for quite a long time. He winced and gripped her arm tightly.
"Damn it Maika. What the hell are you doing?" he asked, quietly. Maika only smirked and Sesshoumaru was punched in the face once more. Sesshoumaru shoved her off and sat up, rubbing his jaw. Damn that hurt! She scratched him across the cheek with her sword and he grimaced. He stood up and grabbed her by her throat slamming her against another tree.
"What the hell are you doing?" he growled. Maika shoved him hard and he was sent back down the ground where she kicked him. After a long while she stopped punching and kicking him. Sesshoumaru breathed heavily, nearly dead by now. He'd been slashed, pierced, and beaten up so badly from her and he had no idea why. His heart ached not from the pain but from knowing now that he loved her. What was going on? Why was she attacking him? Maika stood up and held her sword above his chest, ready to plunge it down and kill him. Right at that moment Sesshoumaru blacked out, near death. WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
Ok so that was short. I'm sorry! But its kinda late. BUT I KNOW FOR SURE that the next chapter will be a LOT longer. Yes these are short but I like to keep you on your toes you know? So anyways...come back and see Maika's secret!
