Death Of A Heart

Without Love

"Hey! Sesshy!" a girl's voice rang out. Sesshomaru turned around with a passive face. He wouldn't let his emotions be seen. "Oh c'mon! Loose the emotionless mask! I mean seriously! I've known you for what? 5 years now and you STILL don't let the mask down!" the girl muttered.

"What do you want?" he asked in a monotone.

"Reow!" she mimicked a cat and Sesshomaru ignored it. "...Ok...that REALLY gets annoying." she muttered. "ANYWAYS! Rin wants to have a picnic with you and me and I said it was ok, so you're coming even if you don't want to."

"Aylin!" Rin's voice yelled.

"I'm not going." Sesshomaru said.

"Hold on Rin!" the girl, supposedly named Aylin yelled back. "C'mon Sesshy! It'll be fun! Please? I'll do the sad puppy face if you keep saying no." she said, Aylin knew that Sesshomaru hated that face.

"For how long?" he asked.

"Yes! For a couple hours! We've already got the food packed! C'mon!" Aylin grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and started to drag him to Rin. "Ok Rin, we're ready to go." Aylin said, Rin handed Aylin the basket.

"I'll be with Ah-Un when you get back." Rin said, both demons blinked and looked at Rin.

"Wait...you're not coming?" Aylin asked.

"Nope! I just said that! Now go on!" Rin said. She was now 13 and knew how Aylin and Sesshomaru felt about each other. They never got a moment to themselves. There were always rumors going about the castle that they were falling in love when ever either of the dog demons heard that they'd kill the person.

"Rin." Sesshomaru said. "We are not going." Sesshomaru said.

"Why not?" Aylin asked. "It's a good way to get some time to ourselves without being inturupted. I know the perfect place!" she said, once again she grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and dragged him off.

"Bye!" Rin yelled after them. Aylin took Sesshomaru off of the palace grounds and deep into the woods, before long Sesshomaru had no clue where they were other than in the woods. Then Aylin let go of his hand and opened a wall of willow leaves. There was a stream and a wide open clearing there so they could be warm and have fresh water.

"I found this a while back, but didn't tell anyone about it because I didn't want them stealing my thinking spot." Aylin explained. "I come here when I want to get away from everything. Sit down, the grounds not going to sink." Aylin said as she patted a place next her her.

Sesshomaru sat down and then started to sink into the ground, Aylin laughed.

"Or maybe it will." she laughed and then helped Sesshomaru out of the one and only hole in the two banks of the stream. "Sit over there since you've found a sink hole." Aylin said, her usual icy blue eyes, full of amusment and laughter. Sesshomaru glared at the ground, he could have sworn that it was sinking in front of him, but he could have been wrong. Aylin pulled out an apple and started to eat it. "Want one?" she asked.

Aylin was holding out a green apple in her hand, Sesshomaru took it and bit into it, the juice running down his chin, he only knew one way to eat an apple without getting it on his face, and that was to cut it up, but he would get stiky anyways because he didn't have a knife. Aylin finished her apple and threw it over the willows and into the forest beyond.

"It's nice to just to relax in the company of the great, quiet lord of the west." Aylin said with a slight smirk.

"Are you implying something?" Sesshomaru asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Maayybe.." she said as her smirk grew bigger. "You just need to talk more. I mean seriously, JAKEN talks more than you when he's SLEEPING!"

"How do you know that?"

"Uh...if you're asking if I tried to sneak into his room and kill him with a knife while he was sleeping...no...no I didn't." She said as she looked away. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and then looked back to her. Aylin was still looking away from him, her dark blue hair was down to her waist and he only knew it was blue because the light shone on it just right to reveal a blue sheen.

The wind blew, making her hair dance in the sun, throwing off light onto the ground and onto his face and torso.

Sesshomaru suddenly stiffened, having caught a familar scent on the wind. It was Naraku.

"Well, if it isn't a little picnic out in the wide open." Naraku laughed, Aylin whirled around to face him, she had a score to settle, he had killed everyone she knew.

"What the hell do you want, Naraku?" Aylin growled at him, her blue eyes turning icy and just looked down right evil. Sesshomaru stood and drew Tokijin, he was about to squeeze the hilt.

"Wind Blades!" Kagura yelled, they missed Sesshomaru, but since the attack came from behind and were faster than sound the hit Aylin full force. Since she had nothing on to protect her she was severaly injured. "It seems that your little girl friend is nothing but an idiot." Kagura said as she landed next to Naraku.

"Aylin!" Sesshomaru ran over to her.

"Kill her for me will you?" Aylin asked with a tiny smirk, her usual shining eyes were dull and had pain and sorrow in them. A drop of blood came from the corner of her mouth. "J-just know that even though I'm dead I'll always be with you, in spirit and in your heart. Since I can't be here, fate just wont let us be to-" Aylin's voice faded.

"I will kill her." Sesshomaru said in a quiet whisper.

"She dead yet?" Kagura asked. Sesshomaru glared at her, then threw Aylin's hidden dagger, it hit Kagura in the head right between the eyes. Then he threw Aylin's other dagger at Naraku, he held up Kagura's heart and it hit dead center.

"Good aim." Naraku mused with a smile on his face.

"Stop hiding behind your idiots and fight me." Sesshomaru growled. He drew Tokijin, his only sword, and held it at his side.

"I don't have time for today. I will fight you some other time, for that great demon strength of yours." Naraku said as he disappeared into a cloud of miasma.

"Dammit." Sesshomaru muttered.
