* I don't own any Inuyasha characters except for the ones I have made up, ( such as Liz, Susan, blah, blah, blah, you get the idea ) and taken from my own twisted and disturbed mind. Also you have to forgive me, I am still new to writing fanfics and if it sucks, please tell me so *
* listens to the chirping of crickets *
Hmm...Methinks nobody liked my second chapter.
Oh, well here is number three! Oh, and before I forget, there might be some OOC moments for Sesshoumaru, please enjoy them, plus I am working on the idea that Sesshoumaru still only has the Tenseiga at this point, just thought I'd mention that as well before someone jumps on me and say "Wait a dang minute he has his Tokijin!" Well he doesn't at this point, he just found Rin and this is where my fic comes in. *^_^*
Anyhoo on to the story! Wait, wait, I already said that... O.o
Chapter 3 - Sesshoumaru's Devious Plan!
````````````````````````````````
Looking down sharply, Sesshoumaru sees that the woman has indeed awaken and blinks. Her eyes, they were the color of summer leaves. They were a true dark green without a hint of brown or gold in them. Shifting his eyes to look at her hair, he saw that it was brighter, like the color the sun gives off at sunset. Never has he seen such eyes and hair in such unusual shades. Even among female demons of his kind. Realizing he was staring and where his train of thought was heading he scowled fiercely and opens his mouth to start his interrogation, but stopped as he realized that the girl is staring at him quiet strangely...
She couldn't believe it! She really, really couldn't! The man was GORGEOUS! He was wearing what looked like a robe or kimono and some armor across his chest. In addition, over his right arm was something that looked like…a boa? At least that is what it looked like to her. Moreover, at his waist is a slender sword. Moving up to his face her jaw dropped a little. Looking at his face a bit closer she saw that he had the most unusual looking tattoos on his face, and, what was that on his eyelids? Pink eyeliner, on a man!? *He must be gay or something*, thought Liz as she sighed, it would be her luck, but come to think of it, he didn't seem gay, just the opposite in fact. He seemed extremely masculine. Then she saw his hair. That was something she had never seen before. His hair was so light a white it had a slight blue tint to it and it was very long, going down to back of his knees and then a little more. Moving back to his face she saw that he caught her watching him. How embarrassing to be caught ogling someone! She blushed hotly, wanted to sink under her covers in mortification, and in fact did scoot down under her blankets a bit. However, doing so brought her attention to the fact of where she was and where she wasn't.
"Where am I?"
"Who are you?" They asked simultaneously. She blushed and he raised an eyebrow questioningly. She wanted to die now! Moreover, he in turn, couldn't wait to get rid of her! Aggravating human! Gathering her courage she attempted top sit up slowly but was immediately motioned to stay down by the old woman sitting next to her, which was a good idea since she got extremely dizzy when she did, and some thoughts about the pervious evening and how she more than likely wound up here.
"They're not here are they", she blurted out suddenly.
"What are you talking about woman?" asked Sesshoumaru, annoyed that things weren't going his way. He was supposed to be asking the damn questions and by the Gods, that was exactly what was going to happen. He was disappointed.
"Some guy was chasing me tonight through the woods! I was in the woods waiting for my friends to come and find me because I got lost, but I must have fallen asleep, and then he pushed me over and he grabbed me! I could tell it was a man because of the grip he had on my arm! I think I almost hit him but he let me go and I ran and he chased me!" ended Liz on a wail of fright and started to cry piteously.
Wincing from the sound of her wailing Sesshoumaru realized that he didn't need to drag any out information of her, she told him on her own, but that hardly satisfied him; not in the least. Then it struck him like lightning! She obviously didn't know that it was he! Maybe he could change the situation around to suit him...Hmmm. He immediately changed his tact from one of annoyance to one of sympathy, albeit, false sympathy. Ordering the servant to go out in the hall, he took her spot next to Liz; as he sat down on the cushion next to the girl's futon to comfort her, and took her hand. Big mistake, he realized as the woman promptly threw herself at him and cried all the harder soaking the shoulder of his kimono. He was going to gag! Gritting his teeth, Sesshoumaru did the only that he could think of, if he wanted his plan to work he had to do it, so he hesitantly patted her back as he's seen human females do to each other in these situations.
* Gag! Shudder! Gag!*
Hearing the sound of foot steps coming rapidly down the hall he pulled sharply away and watched as the girl blush almost as red as her hair. "You can stop that infernal noise now," he said in that bland, deadpanned way of his. She nodded and sniffled a bit.
"Sorry about getting your robe wet," she said softly. He watched warily out of the corner of his eye as she dared to try to mop up her mess. He stopped her with a look that said 'Do that and die where you sit'. She dropped her hand immediately. Opening his mouth again to ask her some questions he was cut off as Jaken yelling something, which was most likely a curse, before he came into the room unannounced running after the little human girl he found the other day.
"Get back here you impertinent wench! You may not go in there I say!" came the squeaky voice just before they barged in.
Liz gasped in horror and disbelief at what she was seeing as the owner of that voice came into view. Looking at her from the corner of his eye, Sesshoumaru took note of her surprise and wondered about it, and then a sound like he never heard before in his entire life, "Eeep!" Shrieking he's heard, screeching, wailing, the gnashing of teeth, yes. This little, what ever it was, never before has he heard such a sound. Looking fully at her he saw that her eyes were almost as wide as saucers and had gone as pale as cream and looked ready to faint again! Not this time he thought, standing quickly to block her view Sesshoumaru ordered Jaken to take the girl to the kitchen's and get her a bath, clean clothes, and something to eat, in that order. After giving his order, he turned back to the girl fully and saw that she was starting to shake and little sounds of distress were being made.
She shook her head; she just couldn't believe it! No! It was a dream! A very, very, VERY BAD dream! Seeing that the man had turned back to her, she sat up more and shrank back from him, as if she wanted to get away from him. She did, and desperately! Licking her lips Liz asked the man in a very shaky voice, "Wha-what *was* that - that t-thing!"
"Who Jaken; he is my servant," he said in a very calm, cool voice.
"A servant, what the heck *was* it," she asked in a somewhat shrill voice that made him wince in pain yet again.
*This shrieking really has to stop*, thought Sesshoumaru as he fought an impulse to rub his ears to soothe them. He exhaled as if to gather strength. However, aloud in a tone that was bordering on anger he said, "Lower your voice woman. Jaken is my annoying servant and a demon as well. A low class one to be sure but a demon none-the-less."
"Say what? There are no such things as demons!" she scoffed.
"I wouldn't make any large wagers on that." With that he started to tense up as his eyes started to change from a golden yellow to a blood red as they widened. He also bared his teeth so she can she the change there as well and all she could do was watch in fascinated horror at what was happening, and then she knew no more. Sensing that the girl had finally succumbed to that unfailing female human weakness, he stopped his transformation, as he didn't want to wreck the roof of his palace just to make a point to a human.
"Pathetic," he muttered under his breath and then called the servant back in to watch over her tonight to make sure nothing happened to her. He then exited the room to go back to his and to think of what to do with this unwelcome intrusion. He already has that child, what in the God's name was he going to do with another? Getting to his room finally, he was dismayed somewhat that Jaken was there. He was hoping for a little time without that toad blathering about nonsense as he usually does. Unfortunately, he would not get his wish. Sighing he strode over to the annoying imp as soon as Jaken opened his mouth and picked him up by the head and brought him eye level to growl at him, "Be quiet!" just before he tossed him out the window for good measure.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
*Thunk!*
* Ahhh, what a soothing sound!* thought Sesshoumaru as he sat down at his desk piled high with unread correspondences from neighboring demon lords. Sitting down in his overstuffed chair, Sesshoumaru placed an elbow on the desk in front of him and leaned forward in a classic thinking pose. Moreover, for the rest of the night he sat that way thinking and discarding various plans, not happy with any of them. All too soon, it was morning and still nothing definite planned. It was irritating to say the least.* Maybe if Jaken were to be thrown out the window again, maybe that would help,* thought Sesshoumaru. Then soon the realization came to him that he already did that last night. Back to square one. Then after a few more hours of thinking, it hit him like a ton of bricks. He got up to pace furiously as he thought to himself.
Gain her trust by telling her a bunch of lies of the "evil" brother who stole my sword. Then stage scene to "steal" the Shikon no Tama from that wench. Fake her kidnapping and bring her back here. Then kill that 'brother' of his to claim the mighty Tetsusaiga from his cold dead hand.
Thinking back on his plan, Sesshoumaru sat back in his chair with a small, yet satisfied smirk on his lips. That is until Jaken came back into his room; alive. Damn! He was hoping that particular trip would send him to afterlife, but with no such luck Jaken survived yet another trip out the window. Next time he'll try a window from higher up. On the other hand, it is quiet possible that the roof is the better option. Thinking on the merits of that particular plan, he was interrupted by Jaken's blathering.
"My Lord Sesshoumaru! I was wondering what I should do with that awful red-haired wench that you brought home yesterday? She is up and about demanding something called a back-pack," said Jaken like the one thrown out of a second story window.
"Demanding, is she?" he said emotionlessly. "We shall see about that." With that he made his way back to the girl's room. Nobody demands anything in his household but him!
