Death of a Heart

Life Returned, For a Price

It had been a couple of months since Aylin had been killed, Naraku had complerely disappeared, and Sesshomaru hadn't said a word, his generals and advisors had to do it for him. Nothing could get him to speak.

"Lord Sesshomaru, there is something I think you should see." his third general said, Sesshomaru looked over. Everything about him looked much older. Like without Aylin it was like he was an old human who didn't have the will to go on.

Sesshomaru looked at the door, then a girl walked in. At first Sesshomaru didn't believe it was her, but it was her alright. He knew the way she carried herself, the way she entered rooms, everything.

"Damn! It sure is gloomy in here!" Aylin said, she looked around, then saw a candle, she walked over and lit it, then used that one to light all the other candles in the room. "That's definatly better!" Aylin said as she looked around.

"Aylin?" Sesshomaru asked, Aylin looked at him.

"That is my name. How the hell do you know it? It seems like everyone around here knows my name. What's the deal?" she asked. Sesshomaru blinked, a look of confusion over coming his face. The third general looked between Sesshomaru and Aylin. Before things got bad he left without a sound, the door closed behind him and Aylin and Sesshomaru in silence.

"Don't you remember anything?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Remember what? I can't remember anything from two months ago!" she growled at him. Her blue eyes were cold and annoyed, which knowing her wasn't a good mix.

"That's when you died." Sesshomaru said. Aylin looked at him, now it was her turn to be confused.

"Well, I'm alive aren't I?" Aylin asked.

"Yes but you were dead. You were brought back by someone, and the cost of it was your memories." Sesshomaru explained. "Don't you remember Rin? Jaken? Ah-Un?" he asked.

"Nope. I don't even know whose name's they are. Speaking of which, you know mine but I don't know yours." Aylin said.

"Sesshomaru." he answered the unasked question.

"Long name. I'm going to call you Sesshy for short."

"No. You will use my full name."

"Hey! I am not a servant to be ordered around! I will call you what I want to!" Sesshomaru and Aylin glared at each other, this reminded him on the first time they had fought over what she was going to call him.

XXXXXXXXXX

"I will call you what I want to! End of story! I am a guest after all!" Aylin growled at him, her blue eyes were detirmened to win.

"You will use my full name, or else I will have you thrown out of here, making sure that everyone knows what happens when you call me something idiotic!" Sesshomaru growled back as her.

"You wouldn't dare!" Aylin's blue eyes narrowed.

"I can. I will."

"Fine! Be a jack ass! See if I come save your ass when you're in trouble!"

Aylin huffed and turned around while crossing her arms over her chest. Sesshomaru muttered to himself.

"Call me what you will as long as it's only you and me, no one else." Sesshomaru said, Aylin turned around with a wide smile on her face. Her blue eyes were shining happily and her sharp canines gleamed in the dim light of the room.

"Glad that you've some to see the wonderful world of simpler nicknames! Now! Time to go kick your ass while practicing!" Aylin added, she grabbed Sesshomaru's hand then dragged him out of the room and into the training feilds.

XXXXXXXXXX

Sesshomaru had almost killed her when she let the nickname slip in front of guests. In the end she had covered it up by making a fake image of a dog walk by and then ran over to 'take it out side to do its business'.

"You there Hair ball?" Aylin asked as she waved her hand in front of his face. Sesshomaru blinked and looked at her. "You're one freaky person you know that right?" Aylin asked as she walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Sesshomaru asked.

"To find some people by the names of InuYasha, Kagome, Kouga, and Desire. I don't know why, but they're the only names that I can remember." Aylin answered. She walked out the door and then down the hall.

It's her. But who brought her back? Sesshomaru pondered for a while, then left, he found her arguing with some guards.

"Let me go! I need to find some people!" Aylin growled at them. They wouldn't let her through. "If you don't want to do it the easy way, it looks like we're going to do it the hard way!" She drew her daggers, Sesshomaru grabbed her arms before she could do any damage. "HEY!" Aylin growled as she struggled to get free. "LET! ME GOOOOOOOO!" In the blink of an eye she was throwing Sesshomaru over her head and into the wall, her eyes were blood red.

"What the hell is going on Lord Sesshomaru?" his 4th general asked. Sesshomaru didn't answer for a moment.

"This is a side effect from being brought back from the dead and then being used." Sesshomaru said as he glared at Aylin.

"What?" he asked again.

"She was brought back from the dead without any memories of any of us. This means that there's something that she's going to have to accoplish, and if anyone stands in her way she will utterly kill them. She has the power of the dead." Sesshomaru explained.

"Right. I didn't get a think you just said." the third general said. "So...so how do we kill her?" he asked, there was a faint twitch to his eyebrow, but no one noticed it.

"We have to kill her in the same way she was killed in the first place. Which is impossible, Kagura is dead." Sesshomaru said.

"We're screwed!" The thrid general fell to his knees making a daramatic sence.

"Gikyoku, shut up!" Byron the first general growled as he smacked Gikyoku upside the head.

"Ow! What the hell was that for!?" Gikyoku growled at Byron.

"Your stupidity!" Byron and Gikyoku got into a fight, yelling between each other.

"Stop!" Sesshomaru ordered, everyone froze, his voice was louder than it had been before. Sesshomaru had a detirmened look in his eyes.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Byron and Gikyoku asked, Byron had Gikyoku's long white hair in his right hand, he couldn't move his right hand because Gikyoku was biting his arm. Gikyoku was drooling from having Byron's arm in his mouth, his hand was on Byron's face and his other one was holding his arm still.

"Why do you need to get to InuYasha, and those other names you mentioned?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I was told to. I can tell you no more. Now move, or I'll move you for you." Aylin said, her eyes were still red, but not as red.

"Who did this to you?"

"That, I don't know. All I know is that I was told to do something and that after I did it I would be free to do what I wanted." Aylin explained. "Are you going to move? Or am I going to move you?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"We'll let you pass if you let someone come with you." Sesshomaru said. Aylin thought about it, then her eyes went back to normal.

"Fine." she said.

"Lord Sesshomaru, who is going?" Byron and Gikyoku asked at the same time, still in the same spots as before.

"I am." Sesshomaru answered.

"What?!" They asked jumping up and in front of him.

"You can't do that! What is demon's attack!?" Byron asked.

"NOOO!! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE WITH HIM!" Gikyoku said in his very annoying dramatic way. Byron whacked him again. "Oh, right sorry."

"I'm going to go. Leela and Tempest aren't here, they'll be back in a week or so. Until they get back you two are in charge." Sesshomaru said. The boys looked at each other.

"Hahahahahaaa!!!! IN YOUR FACES!!!" Gikyoku said as he threw the hat he was wearing on the ground and jumped up in the air, doing a backflip before landed on his hands and then front slipping back to where he stood before.

Sesshomaru was glaring at him. She straightened up and saluted Sesshomaru in the usual Western style, crossing your hands over your chest, bowing then saluteing like usual. Byron rolled his eyes.

"We will do nothing that you wouldn't do Lord Sesshomaru." Byron said, he turned to Aylin and glared at her. "Hurt our Lord and you'll see just what I can do." he added to her.

"Ha! I'd like to see you try!" she laughed. "Well I'm leaving so you better hurry up there hair ball." Aylin said to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru growled but it didn't intimidate Aylin like he had hoped.

"Ok! So first thing that we do is get new carpets!" Byron said, he had always loved to change things around to make people hate him and then he'd always laugh his head off.

"Leave the carpets alone!" Sesshomaru yelled back at him as Aylin and Sesshomaru left, they were on their way to see InuYasha and his friends, even though Sesshomaru dispised them.
