Inuyasha: Worlds Collide -- Chapter 5
Sesshomaru's Castle
by Mac (ME!! YAY!!!)

Author's Note: Okay I have a few things you all need to know before you read the story. There are a few denotations you need to know. The descriptions will be short sweet and to the point so you can get to the story. Also one other thing...I do not own Inuyasha or any of it characters. The show and everything in it belongs to it's creator whose name escapes (gomen nasai!!) me right now. The only things I own are the two characters not a part of the show...Ami and Omikako. (You'll see don't worry.) So please don't take without permission from me. Thank you!!! And please tell me what you think of my fanfic.

Ami moaned as she felt a warmth run through her body and felt her strength returning. She realized the warmth was healing her. Her eyes opened to find out Omikako standing over her but a young man, the one she had saved earlier, carrying her. She looked down and saw the world below as they flew through the sky on a cloud. She knew she should feel afraid but she didn't. On the contrary, she felt very safe and secure.

"You're awake finally. I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands," the man said, devoid of emotion, as they landed in front of a giant castle. Sesshomaru set Ami down and examined her briefly. "Her color has returned. She's beautiful and her scent is intoxicating." Sesshomaru watched as something began to form on her forehead and right hand, which were both glowing brightly. "Watch closely Jaken. She will no longer be Human in any way once there is a circle divided into four on her forehead and three triangles forming a larger one on her right hand."

Ami looked at her hand and saw the triangles appear. Then she felt her forehead; through the heat she could feel the outline of a circle divided into four forming.

Inuyasha stopped suddenly as he finally picked up his brother's scent; it was coming from where he and Omikako had come from. "Omikako!" he shouted urgently, trying to get the wolf-youkai's attention.

"What is it? What do you smell?" Omikako turned to see Inuyasha.

"It's Sesshomaru's scent!"

"Where is it coming from?" Omikako said calmly.

"From the cave!! He's back there with Ami. Since she's still part Human he may try to kill her! He hates Humans!!"

"WHAT?!?! We need to get back now!!" Omikako yelled hurriedly as he rushed past the Hanyou in a blur of silver-grey. Inuyasha followed closely behind Omikako, though finding it hard to keep up with the wolf-youkai.

"I've never seen him run so fast before. He must really care about her." Inuyasha thought to himself as a knowing smile came across his face. "Ami's changed him like Kagome changed me. I hope Kagome and the others will be okay until I can get back."

"Sesshomaru! If you have so much as touched her I'll kill you!" Omikako thought as he raced to get back to the cave. He stopped suddenly and sniffed the air. "Her scent?! It's changed. She's a full-blooded Mage now?! B...but it can't be! Her disease would not permit the change to be complete!" He ran again, but faster this time.

"I feel stronger. Why did you heal me?" Ami asked as she looked at the handsome man before her. It was then that she noticed he was missing an arm. She gasped and stood up to look at his shoulder. She pulled off the left side of his hakama to look at the place where his arm had been severed. All the while Sesshomaru looked at her puzzled and shocked at her actions.

"Wha...what do you think you are doing?!" He hissed. Her fingers felt as if they were almost burning the skin they touched. He couldn't believe this girl had the nerve and audacity to half-way disrobe him. HIM! Sesshomaru, the Lord of the Western Lands! One of the most superior and strongest demons in all the lands!!!

"I'm going to give you your arm back." she stated matter-of-factly.

"Why?!" Sesshomaru was shocked, though he did not show any sign of it, that someone was willing and wanting to help him.

"Because you just saved my life, and this is the least I can do for you."

"No, don't do..." he was too late to stop her. His arm was back. He watched her in silence now. Ami moved to his left side and started massaging his arm. "Now what are you doing?! Stop it!!!" he tried to push her hands away but it was no use.

"Noooo, you stop. If I don't massage the muscles the arm will be useless." She stopped for a second to take in her surroundings and rest her arms and hands.

"Ami?! Ami are you okay?!" Omikako yelled as he raced into the cave. "Where are you?" Omikako couldn't see any trace of her.

"Sooo, where am I?" Ami asked as she took in the beauty of the castle. Sesshomaru and she began going through the castle and stopping in different rooms.

"You are in my castle." Sesshomaru stated, trying to get his emotions back in check. "Who is this woman who makes my blood boil? My blood has been hot before, but I could ignore it; it was never this strong before."

"My Lord?"

"Yes Heekin. What do you want?" Sesshomaru said coldly to the long black haired servant who had interrupted his thoughts and privacy.

"You sent for me?" Heekin answered as his eyes settled on Ami. Ami looked up to see Heekin's gaze burning uncomfortably into her body. She didn't like the way he was looking at her and instinctively took a step closer to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru growled. "You should remember to keep you eyes on the one who is speaking to you!!" Sesshomaru growled angrily at the servant. Heekin immediately looked back at Sesshomaru and started to tremble at the look Sesshomaru was giving him.

"Man if looks could kill." Ami mused to herself as she watched the two.

"I want you to find Haven." Sesshomaru growled his voice even colder than before. Ami could have sworn that Heekin had let out a meep when Sesshomaru spoke to him.

"But...but sire. That place is only accessible to the Mages." Heekin began to tremble even more.

"We have a Mage here and she has a right to know everything about her race." Sesshomaru spoke coldly and impatiently, he wanted to be alone with Ami once again. He didn't appreciate one of his servants coming in unannounced and the looks he was, or had been, giving Ami. "Now, get on your way before you lose a limb."

"Ye...yes sire." Heekin stuttered. He raced out of the room, closing the doors behind him.

"That wolf-youkai traveling with you is a friend of mine." Sesshomaru said, turning the attention back to each other, alone once again.

"How did you meet him?" Ami inquired curiously.

"He was an ally and friend of my Lord Father. After my Lord Father's death he helped my come to power here in the Western Lands. He taught me almost everything I know." Sesshomaru explained as he looked out the window at the setting sun.
