Kimi had been walking for at least two hours before she decided to rest. The strange land was so beautiful and she felt right at home. She sat down against a tree and started to twirl her golden hair in between her finger tips as she stared up into the sky. It was a beautiful blue.
Suddenly she heard a rustling noise coming from the tree. She looked up and noticed two pairs of eyes staring back at her.
Kimi slowly stood up and backed away from the tree, frightened. Two male figures jumped from the tree's branches, one landed in front of her and the other behind her.
"You are trespassing on our Lord's lands. What brings you here?" The male in front of her interrogated. He had shoulder length red hair with lime green eyes. Kimi stared at him confused.
"Your Lord's land?" Kimi repeated.
"Yes. Now what business do you have here?" The man behind her pressed. Kimi glanced over her right shoulder. He had long dark green hair held back in a low ponytail with teal green eyes. He reminded her of an older Ichiro which was quite terrifying.
"I don't really know where I am. I was just-" Kimi was cut off.
"Our instructions are to bring in any trespassers to our Lord so he can decide their faith." The man with the red hair explained. Kimi stared at him dumbfounded. Decide her faith? What was this?
"Who is this guy? No one can decide my faith but me." Kimi commented, trying to control her anger. What was it with guys trying to control her lately? The man with the green hair chuckled.
"Watch your language woman. You must show respect for our Lord." The man with the red hair demanded. Kimi raised her eyebrow at him.
"And what if I don't?" She questioned. The man with the red hair cracked his knuckles. Kimi winced in disgust, she hated when people did that.
"We will just have to bring you to our Lord by force." The man with the green hair grinned. He started to crouch with his right arm extended outward. "He will not like the news of his name being disrespected."
As the green haired man finished his sentence the red haired man charged at Kimi. She jumped out of the way to the floor in surprise. They weren't kidding! And boy, were they fast.
The green haired man charged directly at Kimi with what seemed to be rope. She kicked both of her feet at him, knocking him to his side. His friend lunged at her as well. Kimi rolled on her side to get away from him and then jumped to her feet, facing the two men.
"Ah, you can protect yourself." The green haired man smirked.
"She won't be able to for long though." The red haired man laughed. Kimi had no idea what she was doing, but her left wrist was burning again. Maybe she was allergic to the damn bracelet.
Both men raced toward Kimi, double teaming her. Kimi did three backhand springs to get a suitable distance away from the two, and then ran straight for them. She then jumped into the air, extended her legs and knocked over the red haired man.
As she lifted her leg to kick the green haired man, he grabbed her shoe, causing them both to fall over and the shoe to fly off. The red haired man grabbed Kimi's arms and tied them up with rope.
"Finally! I was starting to think I was getting weak." He chuckled. The green haired man quickly got up to help his companion tie the girl's legs.
"Let's get going before our Lord wonders what has kept us." The green haired man explained as he started to walk ahead. Kimi struggled to get free from the ropes as the red haired man lifted her onto his shoulders and followed his counterpart. She blushed, her skirt was quite short. She hoped no one was watching.
"I bet our Lord will make her work in the kitchen." The red haired man laughed, his friend joining. Kimi growled.
"Who the hell is your "Lord"?" Kimi asked as she struggled to get free. The green haired man sighed.
"His name is Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord of the West." The red haired man explained as he gripped Kimi tighter.
Kimi stopped struggling. Her stomach tied in knots, she didn't understand why. That name sounded very familiar to her.
The two men threw Kimi into a dark and cold cell. She cried out as she landed on the hard, cold floor.
"Our Lord will be down to see you soon." The green haired man explained as he and his companion left the room. Kimi took a deep breath; she needed to ignore the pain.
She started to untie her arms from the ropes that had started to loosen.
"Yes!" Kimi mumbled to herself. She finally untied her arms and then her legs. She stood up and sauntered to the cell bars. She grabbed a hold of them and shook them with all of her might.
"Let me out! I don't belong here!" Kimi insisted. Tears started to pour down her eyes, causing her bangs to stick to her face.
Sesshoumaru stared out of his study window. His nose felt as if it was on fire. He knew that scent as if it were his own. But he knew, very well, that his heart was only playing tricks. It was a hard truth, but he had to live with it... she was gone forever.
His mind had been playing tricks on him for the last three years, why would it stop now? A growl escaped his throat when he heard a knock on his door.
"Enter." He coolly ordered. His two trusted army men sauntered into the room after shutting the door behind them. They both knelt on their knees and bowed before him. "What took you so long?" He questioned. His leader, Mamoru, lifted his head.
"We encountered a trespasser north of the castle." Mamoru explained as he flicked his green hair out of his eyes. It was quiet messy after the battle he had today. His counterpart, Kouji, cleared his throat.
"She is in the dungeons. She was quiet a handful." Kouji explained as he stared up at his Lord for further instructions.
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened for a split second before he resumed his cold demeanour. It couldn't be… could it? Without another word, Sesshoumaru sauntered out of his study and headed toward the dungeon.
For three years his heart suffered without Kimi. He had become cold toward everyone. He always wondered why she had left him that fateful night. He had run after her as her scent disappeared into thin air. He thought she would be back in a couple days. But days turned to weeks, weeks to months and months to years.
A lot had happened since then. He had acquired a human child named Rin, Naraku's location was soon to be found and he had also found someone who could conjure up a new arm for him; the one he had lost because of damned half-breed brother, InuYasha. But between all the events that had happened, he could never let go of Kimi.
Sure, a lot of women were happy when Kimi had disappeared. Especially Akiho, the fox demon princess. But he had a little spark of hope that one day Kimi would come back.
He stopped in front of the dungeon door. Her scent seeped through and entered his nose. It was as strong as it was three years ago. Nothing had changed. He slowly opened his eyes, when did he close them? He gently placed his hand on the doorknob and gripped it. He took a gentle breath and pushed open the door.
GASP! What's going to happen next!
