Eh... I've been busy lately so that's why it took me so long to update. For a while there I started running out of ideas. Now I've sparked more now. :-P

Dominic wore the top layer of my kimono since his was cut and stained in blood from when Sesshomaru attacked him. I kept the deep violet colored undershirt. He sat at a distance in the trees from us. I was too restless to relax, and Sesshomaru just sat there watching over Rin. Finally I had enough, and went into the small forest. The trees were distant from each other so it was easy to get around in.

I saw Dominic sitting there against a tree just zoning out looking depressed. He couldn't sleep either. Not right after what just happened. I had told him what Sesshomaru did, and about when he injured my arm, which was bothering me the most that night. I stood in front of him, looking down at his face. He didn't bother to look up even though he knew I was there.

"Why did you save me?" He asked quietly.

I breathed," That's a stupid question."

I squatted down on all fours and looked into his eyes even though he was looking away. "Why did you cry?" I asked back at him. Dominic finally gave eye contact. A quick moment went by and he looked at my injured arm. "You don't know how bad I feel about hurting you like that." He said lowly.

I sat down and held my wound with my hand.

"Don't worry about it. I wasn't the one who got killed." I commented.

The blood stain on my kimono was cold.

"Why did you kiss me when we both know we've broken up?" He asked. I looked away, not saying anything.

I kissed you because I thought I was gonna die. I kissed you because I knew you didn't hurt me on purpose.

To Dominic's surprise, instead of saying anything, I stood up and started to walk off.

"Hey you didn't answer my question."

He stood up and followed after me. "Don't leave me out in the woods again like last time!" He called out.

I kissed you because I love you.

I went back to Ryu and sat down next to the dragon. He didn't stir as I sighed and closed my eyes. Before I knew it, Dominic stood in front of me and crossed his arms glaring at me. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked flatly, keeping my eyes shut.

"I just want an answer."

I gave him a good hard look.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time... Happy now?"

Dominic rolled his eyes and flipped me off. He walked over at the opposite side of the group. I looked at him walking off with a dumb look.

"What'd I say?"

Sesshomaru simply observed our actions as he sat near a sleeping Rin. "Chilo." Sesshomaru referred. My ears twitched and I turned up to him. "What, Sesshomaru?" I asked curiously.

"Why do you waste such time caring about a mortal? It's senseless."

I looked at Rin and grinned.

"You should ask yourself that since you're so protective of Rin." I scoffed. The dog demon gave me a sharp dirty look. I chuckled and stood up, turning to see Dominic moping in self pity. My grin disintegrated into a frown, seeing him looking that depressed. Without thinking, my feet led me to walk over to him. I was drawn to him like a magnet, even if we had broken up.

"Go away... I... I hate you..." He said lowly. There was some sort of lying tone he had in his voice like he didn't mean it. I went down on all fours and looked at him with soft pleading eyes.

"Why are you so upset? This isn't the 'doesn't let anything bother him' Dominic I knew and loved."

He glared at me angrily and suddenly jerked his leg out and kicked me hard in the stomach. That caused me to fall back.

"Get away from me. I don't wanna talk to you."

"Hey!" I glared back at him as I jumped up quickly.

"You jackass I was just trying to help. I won't save you next time when and if you get killed again." I hissed.

"Hey do I have to separate you two?" Jaken popped out of nowhere. "Yes.." Dominic said very quietly. "I was just leaving, Jaken. Naraku can have him back for all I care..." I walked off quietly. Jaken looked at Dominic briefly. "I wonder why Chilo bothered to save your blabbering mouth with Lord Sesshomaru's Tenseiga. I just heard about everything you two said." He announced. The toad shook his head.

"You humans are stranger than I thought."

Dominic glared at him telepathically telling him to back off and shut up. He can get very mad sometimes, and you do NOT want to be on his bad side. You will get hurt some way or another.

Sesshomaru stood there at a distance away looking at the full moon in his thoughts. I stood behind him and let the soft breeze pass through my hair. "You are so much like father and yet so completely different." He said.

"How? The fact I'm in love with a human that is pissed off at the moment?"

Sesshomaru didn't say anything. Silently he turned to me and studied my face. I looked at him, seeing his emotion didn't change. From the corner of my eye, I swear I saw a slight grin come across his face as he reached his hand out and put it on my head, messing my hair up as he walked off. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, and there stood Totosai on what I recently learned actually was a cow demon, not an oxen! Stupid me... I looked up at the old man.

"Chilo, it's best time I make you a sword. Your father told me this day would come sooner or later. Now it's time." He said with a dry tongue.

"Totosai..." Sesshomaru called out. "If the intention of taking her to your lair and create a sword is the reason you've come tonight, I cannot allow this."

"Why not? She must possess some kind of weapon, and your father ordered she would have a sword that of likeness to the tetsuiga."

I held my breath.

Me? Possessing a sword that possibly matches the power of the tetsuiga? Alright now this is making me wonder. I feel like I'm in this stupid story about a girl who fell into an anime show with her wacko boyfriend on a fanfiction site. Only an idiot would write this crap! (Don't say it, I know what you're thinking :-P)

Sesshomaru gave the old man a dirty look. He looked jealous, seeing that both of his siblings seem to have been chosen to possess powerful swords. Dominic tuned his ears in on the conversation.

"Let me help Totosai forge a sword for me, Lord." I nearly begged. He glanced over at me. "What am I to do with the boy?" He asked sourly. I looked at Dominic. He gave me a dirty look. My ears went back and I said, "Either he comes with us so I can protect him, or he dies." I kept my eyes on him the whole time.

Come on you stubborn fool. Don't be an idiot.

Slowly, Dominic stood up and came up to us. "I'm going for the sake to keep me alive." He muttered. "Then it's settled!" Totosai came in. "Lets go. There's no time to lose. Hop on you two." He ordered. I looked at Totosai and said, "I'm gonna ride with Ryu if you don't mind."

In no time Dominic was in the air on Totosai's oxen, and me riding smoothly on Ryu. I was a few hundred meters behind them, straggling along. My mind was exploring, and I didn't have too much thought.

"Chilo! You better catch up or else I will not make you a sword! Lets not dilly dally." The old man warned. I snapped out of my trance-like state and had Ryu speed up. We traveled for about an hour until we flew into the hot molten land where he lived. He lived in a skeleton of a giant worm-like demon with sharp teeth. It was extremely hot outside due to the lava. Fortunately it was moderately comfortable inside the skeleton home. Ryu landed on warm soil and closed his wings as he walked into the structure. I got off once we went inside.

Dominic sat beside Ryu and stared at a wall zoning out.

"Open your mouth." Totosai ordered.

"Why?"

"Just open it."

I opened my mouth, revealing my fangs. The old man then used a metal grabbing tool and locked onto my right upper fang.

Oh shit.. I remember now! When InuYasha broke his tetsuiga he had to replace the blade with this own fang!

Totosai yanked as hard as he could, and pulled out my tooth. I yelped like a severely wounded dog and fell back on my head. Ryu growled in his throat, feeling protective for my life. The dragon looked at Totosai.

"OW THAT FREAKIN' HURT!!"

Dominic grinned. The old man examined the newly extracted fang.

"Quit wining about it. A new fang will grow in a day or so, wait and see."

I held my mouth. I felt like crying, but I didn't. Big girls don't cry.

"That's what you get." Dominic chuckled.

I grabbed the biggest rock and threw it at his head. I hit him, and before too long a giant bump appeared on his head. He shut up and glared angrily at the wall. "This'll take about three days to complete." Totosai announced. "Three?" I choked.

"What? Do you think demonic swords are easy tasks to complete? You've got to be crazy!"

I growled and walked out of the place and studied the lava.

Three days. What am I to do for three days? I can barely get any sleep, so it'll be even longer. It's gonna feel like six!

I slept against the side of the dead creature on a soft patch of rich soil. It was comfortable, but still a bit hot.

Dominic silently watched Totosai work on my fang. He was expanding it and adding molten lava and other things to it. He kept the blade hot using his fire powers and hitting it with a metal hammer.

Inside he was actually cold. He stood up and walked out as quietly as he could. His mind was wondering too. A few hours had gone by. What would you expect? It'd get boring after a while, especially when you've lived your life entertained all the time. For once the whole time I was there, I managed to slip into a deep good quality sleep.

Dominic turned to see me sound asleep. Suddenly he felt bad. He felt bad about everything. He even doubted himself of saying he liked Ashlii. Dominic crouched down in front of me and studied my peaceful expression. I didn't stir, not ever noticing he was there. Without even knowing it he started nearing toward me more and more until we were face to face.

He felt my warm breath on his skin, and started hungering for my lips again. Just for the hell of it, he attempted to kiss me in my sleep until Totosai suddenly blurted out, "Hey, can you help me find my box of handles? I seem to have misplaced them!"

He staggered and fell on his butt, staring at the old man. I woke up from Totosai's voice and saw a startled Dominic in front of me.

"Yeah.." He slightly stuttered as he stood up and went back inside. I looked up at the old man curiously. "Thanks..." I said flatly. "You're welcome." Totosai said walking back in.

"I was being sarcastic you old nut case!"

Hey, readers I'd like to read your thoughts! I'll be able to make this story even better with your help. So R&R please. Thanks love ya ;-)
