~~~~~~Chapter 7 Start~~~~~~

I felt something wrap around my legs, it soon ran up my legs and soon, I was completely wrapped in something from below. I looked down to see that it came from the ground, it looked like roots. I then looked up at Sesshomaru, who was standing and swinging his sword around him to cut the wraps from wrapping themselves around him. Mayakashi then began to laugh.

"See, it does not matter if you beat me or not, Naraku will have his way," he said as he disappeared into the shadows. I panicked, and began to struggle. I was not about to become someone's possession. Sesshomaru began to run over toward me, but I was soon lifted high up into the air. As I looked around to find out what was the source of this, I felt a rock in my gut. I could see something in the woods, it was a figure dressed in a baboon cloak. I froze, does this mean all that I saw, and all that the woman said was true? Did that mean in a past life, I killed a whole village? I couldn't feel my body, I didn't fight anymore, what purpose did I have to live now? I deserved to be someone's slave. I just watched in silence from high above the fight that began with Sesshomaru, and the one I assumed was this Naraku person. Jaken then flew up on the three headed demon next to me, he tried to set me free, but then these bee-things came and surrounded me.

"Poison insects huh? Well let's see how you stand up to this!" Jaken said as he took his staff and held it to the insects. All at once, the insects came closer to me, one came dangerously close to my face, and I flinched. Jaken stopped, then cursed to himself. I ignored the insects and continued to watch the fight. It looked as if Sesshomaru had met his match, it was almost too fast to see anything.

Are you just going to watch this? A voice rang out. I looked around, up, down, left and right. No one was there, that's when I recognized who it was.

"It's you, how did you…?" I asked in a whisper, but she cut me off.

Not important! She yelled. I lost my patience.

"What do you want?" I just gave up.

It's not what I want, it's what you want. She started. I gave a confused look. Good grief, you really don't know your own heart, anyways, you realize that Lord Sesshomaru is fighting for you. What? I didn't really get what she meant, but I was flattered. Do you want him to win? I was really confused now.

"What? What kind of question is that? Besides, he is a real jerk, all he wants out of this is to make sure this Naraku guy loses!" I started yelling, "Also, I don't deserve to be free," I began to feel my guilt weigh down my body again. "I don't deserve this, for what I did, to all of those people…" The air around me turned blue around me. When I realized what had happened, I looked around to see that everything had stopped. I didn't know how to describe it, it seemed as if time had stopped.

That is not what I asked you…do you want him to win? There was a slight pause. Forget about how he treated you, even forget what has happened in the past, and forget about everything else. Do you want him to win to save you, or do you want him to die trying? As she asked this question, time began to move again, and I saw blood. Sesshomaru had been struck across the chest. I couldn't watch as he fell backwards, still fighting, in his condition, I was sure he was in danger. I then thought of my answer as I shook my head in denial of his injury. I never felt something so strong in my life. Not when the paparazzi would thrash my mother when she was not in the mood, not when my father was forced to make cuts to a cast of people who needed their jobs, not even when I would get picked on in school for my parents fame. I never wanted something so bad in my life.

"Yes…I want him to win," Tears rolled down my eyes. I didn't care how, I just wanted him to win this fight. It was silent, but then I felt a shock go up my spine. A surge of power flowed through my veins. I closed my eyes to focus this power on how to help him win, and the next thing I knew, I was falling to the ground, and passed out again.

My eyes came open to the shine of the sun. I just sat up slowly; this whole being unconscious was beginning to become a bad habit of mine. I looked around to see that I was in the same hut as I was before. I sensed a hint of stubbornness.

"Of course he would send me back here…" I said as I got back out of bed and headed toward the door.

"So, the mansion in this town is haunted by and evil spirit you say?" I heard someone say right outside the door. I froze. I FORGOT THAT THEY WERE STILL HERE! I just calmed myself. There was no reason for them to come in this hut, so as long as I hide in here, everything will be alright.

"I will show you to this mansion, but I will need to check on this patient of mine first, I will be back." I heard Lady Azumi say to the monk. OH CRAP! I quickly ran back to the bed and jumped in and covered myself with the sheets. I could hear Lady Azumi come into the hut, and stop right above me. She then jerked the covers off of me and smiled at me.

"So then, how are you holding up dear?" she asked me. I guess she didn't notice that I left. As I sat up, she looked around. "Where did your little sister go?" I looked around myself. Rin was missing. How do I explain that? I racked my brain for an excuse, I was getting good at this making up lies on the spot.

"Oh, she has a tendancy to do that. Sometimes she goes missing for days sometimes." That was all I could come up with, I was loosing my touch. Azumi then picked up my hand with the burn on it and began to unwrap it.

"Oh? It seems that my young apprentace has gone missing as well," I just sat there, how was I suppost to explain that her apprentace was a demon who wanted to capture me for another person named Naraku.

"Ah, that's funny," I chuckled. She finally got done unwrapping the bandage, and studied my hand.

"Well well well, it seems that you heal fast, that must be nice to be so young." I was courious, and I looked at my hand. It was as if I never got burnt. Huh, that's weird. She continued to examine my body, moving up to my wrist.

"Does it still hurt?" she asked me. Come to think of it, I really didn't feel it anymore. I shook my head no, and she pursued tounwrap my wrist. I was surprised. There was no bruise, no sting, no anything. I retracked my arm and began to move my wrist to double check. Apperantly, I was not the only one who was surprised by this. "Hmm, I guess it was less serious than I thought," a light flooded the room. My guard was down, so I didn't pay no mind when I looked up at the door, and locked eyes with that monk.

"Sorry to inturde like this, but I wish to…" he paused when he looked over at me. I was not sure what to do, I had been caught. I tried to act cool and as if I didn't know him, but as he quickly pulled back out of the hut, I too acted quickly.

"Ah, Lady Azumi, I am sorry, but I have no money to pay you for healing me," my brain never worked so hard to plan my escape route as I egarly awaited an response. She calmly moved down to my cut leg.

"Oh dear, you don't have to pay me anything, I love to help people, so-" I didn't let her finish. I jumped up with a flash, jerking my leg away from her grasp.

"Then I will not be a bother to you anymore, Iam in dept to you OK? When we next meet, I will do you a huge favor, bye!" I ran out of the hut before letting her spaek. I stopped and took in my surroundings. People were bushling though the village, and I heard the monks voice ring around the corner.

"I saw her in Lady Azumi's hut, come quickly!" I got a paniced feeling in my gut. I made a break for the woods, but ran into countless people in the process. As I reached the tip of the wooded area, I heard them yelling.

"There she goes! Inuyasha!" I heard Kagome scream. I knew I had to gun it now. I don't think I ever ran as fast as I did, and it kinda reminded me of the place I use to live. In the physical education class, we would have to run to test our endurance so that we could learn our limits, in a way, this was the same thing. Except for the whole running away from a supernatural being in order to avoid capture, it was like a high school P.E. class, sort of. I knew that Inyuasha was getting closer, and I knew that I had to loose him.

I know a way to loose him, if you wanna know. The womans voice ran in my head again.

"Not you again, this is a really bad time for some parlor tricks and riddles." I began, but then she just continued.

Fine, I guess you don't want to loose him, then I will leave it all up to you…

"NO! fine, how do I loose this guy?" I gave into the temptation. I heard a giggle and felt a tingle in the tips of all of my fingers.

You see that pond up ahead, I need you to go up to it andfocus all of your energy to that boy. I was not really in any position to question her, so I just did as she said. I jumped over the pond and landed on the other side and faced the direction Inuyasha was coming from. In all of this time, I began to wonder where Sesshomru had wondered off too. I focused all of my energy, and my hands automatically rose up. With that, the water in the pond rose up as well, and froze. I watched as Inuyasha tried to stop in mid air, but only smacked right into thr wall. With that, I curved my hands and little ice cuffs formed around his arms and legs. When I was sure I was done, I just chuckled as I ran off to find Sesshomaru.

"Stay, good boy!" I found myself calling back to him, I just could not resist.
