While the bandits grow in anger at your loss they decide to look for you and kill you yelling it as they get up and pick up camp. You get up from the ground slowly as some one approaches the tent. Why the hey haven't you ran away from the camp you think to yourself as you get up all most running into an extremely hairy fat bandit as you exit the tent. You silently creep through the group of bandits being very careful not to bump in to their large figures. You feel uncomfortable walking around in the nude. Though you know that no one can see you, you still blush to your self as you escape the camp with out any accidents.
You walk a long way in your bear naked feet. You stub your toes at least twice and blisters form between your toes. Night is coming and you still have no clothing. Your body has not reappeared but you bless it for doing so as you creep past hunters and men.
It is beginning to darken around you and you worry. Where will you go? Sesshomaru might not even take you in! That is if you find him that is. You shed tears as you make your way up a rocky hillside with no protection to the elements. To make matters worse its getting cold and the sky is looking stormy. You climb the steep rocky hillside slowly trying not to trip. You are beginning to tire and your freezing!
Just as you reach the top of the hill you see a plateau with trees and animals. No demons in sight to your relief. You make your way into the trees that cover the plateau beautifully. You hug your self in an attempt to warm your self. Then up ahead you see a light. (Ohh pretty light!) You squint your eyes at it trying to decipher slowly what exactly it is. You inhale deeply in relief seeing it's a fire. Walking faster towards the light you begin to see people sitting around it.
One a boy, you see has cute dog-ears and a red outfit. Another is a girl with weird green foreign clothes on. The other you see looks like a normal woman holding what you think is a cat demon. The other one you know is a monk... he's kind of cute... (Don't worry)
You approach them slowly in your invisible form still holding your self in an attempt to warm. You don't care what they are talking about; you need clothes! You notice a strange bag next to the strangely dressed girl. It's far from the fire and out of the way. You smile to your self at your luck. There has got to be clothes in there you repeat to your self as you reach to open the bag.
Just then The Dog ear guy perks up as though he's sniffing the air.
"Inuyasha what's wrong?" His friends say to him in unison.
"I smell some one... over there, he points to where you are and you freeze and give the look of a dear in headlights. "Human... but, I can't see Him"
You ignore that he called you a guy; you are way to scare that they will find you. He gets up and walks over to you and the bag. Standing over it looking at the open flap.
The most unfortunate thing happens to you. Your body seems to reaper and you scream, he yells, the others come to see what happened, you cover yourself and blush horribly.
The monk and Inuyasha stare at you, you have to admit you do have a great body but they could maybe close their mouths.
"Inuyasha, sit!" The girl in green yells and the other girl slap the monk around the face.
"I'm so sorry" The girl in the weird green clothes said going back to her backpack. She dug through it for a moment discarding a few things in her way. She pulls out a brown skirt and a lighter brown shirt. "Here where this... Inuyasha, Miroku!"
They both growl and stomp over to the fire, taking a seat with their backs facing you giving you privacy.
You stood up and put on the clothes. The two girls turned their backs to you shielding you from the guys. On of them looked back once and got hit in the head with the older girls huge boomerang.
You finished dressing and cleared your through to tell them you were covered. The to girls knotted in unison and lead you over to the fire that still shown brightly. You took a seat next to Inuyasha who looked at you with a face that you didn't exactly feel comfortable with. He looked as though he smelt rotten fish and didn't care if you saw that he didn't want you to sit next to him.
"What's wrong? Do I smell or something?" You saw in a harsh tone to Inuyasha who snarled and scooted away from you with a nasty look on his face.
"How come you smell of Sesshomaru, you don't travel with him do you?" He asked you harshly coming an inch from your face causing you instinctively to lean back.
"Sesshomaru...?" You say trying to sound confused.
"Ohh please!" Inuyasha says back to you coming even closer to you making you feel uncomfortable "you stench of him, I can't stand it, He growls at you angrily.
You sneer back at him as the girl in green steps in. The girl yells sit again and forces him hard down besides you.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yells to Kagome lifting his head out from the ground spitting dirt and grass to the floor. You scoot away from him and stand awkwardly brushing your self off.
"Inuyasha!" She began to yell again at the half demon. "What are you doing?
"She smells like Sesshomaru Kagome!" He spat back at her defending himself savagely.
"Inuyasha, but she's a human, why would she be traveling with Sesshomaru?" The monk asks walking over to you till he stood right beside you. "A very young, very beautiful young maiden if I do say so myself"
As he said this he turned to face you grabbing your hands in his making you blush. You lean back wearily as he looked in to your red eyes with question.
"Would please consider bearing my children young miss, He said to you and you blushed. The other woman with the boomerang hit him in the head dragging him to the other side of the camp.
"Miroku you lecher" She said pulling him by the shirt.
Kagome and Inuyasha turn back to you after watching the woman drag Miroku to the other end of camp. Inuyasha gives you another nasty look and opens his mouth to snap at you again but Kagome gives him a look of warning causing him to take a step back.
"Excuse Inuyasha, he's not always like this," she paused to give him another look of warning then returned to speak to you again. "Anyways are you actually one of Sesshomaru's companions, or did you happen to run across him?"
"Well its a long story," you take a look at Kagome, she didn't look as though she had anything else to so and she gestured you to keep speaking.
You tell her how you had been walking down the path when a sudden storm picked up and had forced you to fall straight into Sesshomaru's castle. You told her, and a secretly listening Inuyasha how he had let you stay just because Rin pleaded to him and begged for you to stay. Also you told them how you started to journey with him and how you two had gotten into a fight and you stormed off.
The part of the bandits came up and Kagome gave you a look of sadness and pity. Inuyasha ears perked up and he straightened his posture a little at Kagome's concern for you. You finish telling her how you walked through the forest in the nude and found their camp, and well you know what happened next.
"How had you gone invisible?" Kagome asked more to herself than you. "Your just a human aren't you"
"Yea she's a human!" Inuyasha cut in rudely standing up and taking a place next to Kagome "she smells human, and there's absolutely no demonic aura..."
For once he wasn't talking to you like you were trash. It seemed that your story confirmed to him that you weren't exactly with Sesshomaru, more like an innocent bystander. He looked up at you and gave a small smile at you.
"Ok then we know that she's only a human, so then how did she become invisible..." Kagome states as she entered the conversation again just as the woman and Miroku joined them and their triangle forming a circle. The monk stood across from you so that he wouldn't get in trouble again.
"There is always the possibility that another demon cast a spell on her..." Miroku says thinking it over. "Or this woman is actually a demon but her demon power is locked inside and it slipped for this one moment..."
"Were you listening in on our conversation monk?" you said questioning him with a friendly smile.
"I couldn't help it, even Sango joined in listening in" Sango gave an apologetic look and averted her gaze to Miroku with a harsh stare for ratting her out.
"No its ok... ohh I didn't tell you guys my name, its Narooma" You said to them and they all nod there heads and introduce them selves and return to the dilemma that you currently hold.
You camp with them that night. Your restless eyes don't allow you to sleep. You still haven't figured out any reason why you could become invisible like that with no warning or sign. It makes you frustrated and you can't forget it and sleep.
You take a look over at the others. All of which are asleep but Inuyasha who doesn't seem to sleep. You roll your eyes and lower your head down to the ground again in desperate attempt to sleep but another question pops into your mind.
How come Inuyasha gave you such an attitude when he smelled Sesshomaru on you? What had Sesshomaru done to Inuyasha? You wouldn't be surprised if Sesshomaru had done anything to Inuyasha to make him hate him so.
You yawn and stretch showing Inuyasha that you were awake. He looked over at you and watched you sit down next to him by the fire. You exhale slowly and cross your arms, its cold out and the shirt Kagome had given you was a tang top. You rub your hands over your exposed arms in attempt to warm them.
Warmth was draped over you suddenly. You feel a cloth drape over your shoulders and you look behind you to see Inuyasha bringing a blanket around your shivering figure.
You give him a look of surprise, but he just looks away embarrassed at his actions. You smile to the back of his head and grab the edges of the blanket and bring them closer around you.
"Inuyasha?" You call for his attention and he turns to you in wonder "how come you reacted the way you did when you smelt Sesshomaru on me?"
He looked away from you for a moment into the fire. He was taking his time in answering you but you didn't mind. You looked at him still waiting for an answer from him. He looks back at you and opens his mouth to speak then...
Inuyasha closes his mouth and sniffs the air vigorously. You look at him wondering what he smells. He brings himself to his feet and snarls out into the trees surrounding the camp.
"What is it Inuyasha?" you say in a whisper standing closer to him afraid it might be a demon.
"What little brother," You hear a masculine voice sound from beyond the bushes where you had been sleeping moments before. Inuyasha growled louder and you asked your self, Brother?
"What do you want Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha called out just as Sesshomaru walked out from the bushes and into the light of the fire illuminating his body.
Everyone else woke up around you and stood next to you and Inuyasha. They all looked surprised that Sesshomaru was here and looked at him weirdly. Kagome came to stand next to you and whispered "do you think he's her for you, Narooma?"
You didn't know whether or not to shake your head up or down. It was you had started the fight between the two of you and there is the dislike he shares for all humans alike. Sesshomaru could always be getting you because Rin has been asking him where you are, that would be the most logical reason.
"No need to be angry hanyou brother," He smirked at his brother mockingly "I only came for Narooma here"
He gestured to you and Inuyasha took a step in front of you shielding you from Sesshomaru's gaze. You were surprised both that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are brothers and that Inuyasha stood in front of you like, like he was protecting you.
"Come Narooma," Sesshomaru said to you calmly like it was nothing and you would come with absolutely no struggle, and you would come with out whining at all. You miss Rin allot and you want to see her really bad. No offence to Inuyasha and the others but you would happily go with Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha, step aside..."
Inuyasha growled at his brother and stood his ground. You didn't want to hurt his feelings but you had to. You tap Inuyasha's shoulder to get his attention; he turns around surprised. You bet he was expecting you to let him protect you from leaving with Sesshomaru and this caught him off guard.
"Inuyasha please move... you say to him not wanting to look at him. Everyone looked at you dumbstruck at what you had just said. They all hadn't expected you to do this, you looked down at the ground feeling kind of sad that you were going to leave and go off with someone they all apparently hate.
"Yes Inuyasha step aside and let her leave with me she has no desire to stay with a half-breed like you!" He says harshly to Inuyasha who had just stepped aside to let you go.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha growled in anger as he became enraged wrinkling his brow in anger. You take a step towards Inuyasha trying to tell him your sorry and it wasn't like that, but he just snarled at you and pushed you over to Sesshomaru. You stumbled in front of Sesshomaru almost falling at his feet.
You bit your lip trying not to start to cry. You felt a hand wrap around your arm and pull you to your full standing height. You look over to see that Sesshomaru had been the one to help you. Kind of surprised you wipe the hair out of your eyes and turn back to Inuyasha. You give him a furious death glare but you find he wasn't even looking at you.
"INUYASHA," you yell to get his attention. "You lit-"
Sesshomaru grabs your shoulder suddenly cutting you off. You look up at him anger burning in your eyes. He just ignores you and pulls you away from Inuyasha's camp by your arm then pushing you up in front of him. You stumble again then regain your footing and look over at Sesshomaru who looks back at you angrily. You hear Inuyasha yell after you and Sesshomaru but all you notice is how Sesshomaru's eyes are so hot! You shake your head and begin to walk away out of the forest with Sesshomaru in front of you.
You and Sesshomaru walk the out the rest of the plateau in silence. The silence was deadly and you couldn't get yourself to say anything. You and him neared the edge of the Forest and the plateau, the trees opened up into a beautiful night sky with the full moon shining brightly above the two of you as though watching over you.
You look down to your feet then to Sesshomaru who had also stopped walking as soon as the trees ended abruptly. You wanted to say something to him but it wouldn't come out, it just hide in the deepest part of your throat as your eyes watched Sesshomaru intently.
"What!" Sesshomaru says harshly not even turning to look at you. The moon light shown on his silver hair so interestingly that you wanted to touch it but you thought better of it and decided to answer him.
"I-I'm sorry, you said almost suddenly, looking down at your feet in embarrassment for staring at him again. Your face turned crimson as Sesshomaru took a step forward away from the trees.
"Can you climb down this human...? He said almost nicely but still hinting of anger.
You looked down below to where you had just climbed in your bare feet the other day. Though today the rocks were almost clean and most of the dirt had been rinsed away by rain making the way down almost impossible. You shook your head silently not looking at him but still down to the steep side of the plateau.
Sesshomaru might even make you climb down it anyway considering that he didn't have to even come to get you. Tonight though he seemed less angry with you and more accepting, it confused you, why isn't he angry with you for running away?
Your eyes still wandering the hillside you feel something wrap around your body slowly. You look to your side to where it was coming from and you see that Sesshomaru's fluff had drawn itself around you. You felt it tighten around you, still allowing you to breath though, and bring you slowly up off the ground. You look over to Sesshomaru to see that you and him were flying. (Well more like he is flying and you are being carried)
You look up at Sesshomaru questioningly. He just stares off ahead like it was nothing. You and Sesshomaru join with the clouds for a moment then break surface into a view so beautiful you couldn't breath. You look at the moon and blink a coupe times, you could have sworn you saw something or someone in the bright image of the moon but it vanishes almost instantly.
"What are you staring at human?" Sesshomaru said breaking your dream like trance.
"Ohh... ummmmmm... nothing..." you said embarrassed again. (I stare at things too much... (Me: yea I'm sorry...)
It seems like hours have gone by while you sit in Sesshomaru's comfortable grasp, but you're sure that it's only been at least a half an hour. You are beginning to become drowsy; finally you can sleep without fail. It seems almost imposable to stay awake even though the view is amazing from the height the Sesshomaru is at. Your eyes begin to droop and your body begins to limp. You let your head loll to the side, unknown to you that your head leans up against Sesshomaru's chest!
Sesshy's POV
Narooma's head leans up against your chest as she falls asleep in your hold. You look down at her sleeping figure and you can't help but feel somewhat calmed by it. You don't bother moving her, it might awake her and it might cause her to get angry with you again. Her running off would be a bad thing. When Rin found out that Narooma hadn't come back from her "walk" she had broke into tears and begged you to find her. At first you had refused, but the next day after returning to your castle you had set off to find her, just for Rin. If it hadn't been for Rin you wouldn't care whether or not she died or lived, your half-breed brother could have her for all he cared.
Narooma's figure shifts slightly as you begin to descend through the clouds. Precipitation moistens your clothes and it causes them to stick to your skin. The same happens to Narooma you observe as you look down at her once again. Her mouth opens into a petite yawn and she opens her eyes lazily. She looks up at you and notices that her head is up against your chest, but she ignores it her tired mind not caring at the moment. Instead she digs her head a little closer to you.
This surprised you as you descended further till you reached the ground, your feet meeting the ground gracefully. You land in front of your castle gates and you look down at her one last time to see that she is asleep once again. The sun begins to rise behind you and you open the gates and walk to the big oak at the front of your castle.
Before you could even reach for the handle the door swings open revealing your stupid servant, Jaken. He seems overly delighted to see you as always and it annoys you. He greets you with many words but all you do is snarl at him and turn to the stairs.
You remove Narooma from your fluff and hold her bridal stile and ascend the stairs. You look to your right as you pass a door made of solid oak that belongs to Rin. She must be sleeping you told yourself, blessing her for sleeping in. You didn't want her to bather you at the moment about Narooma. Also you didn't want her to wake Narooma...
Your POV:
You awake the nest morning in your bed at Sesshomaru's castle. A small movement to your lest catches your attention and you see Rin asleep at your side. You smile to yourself and take a look around the room. It looks the same as when you had last been there but in the corner on the chair lay a Black and pink Kimono, it's beautiful you think to your self and remove yourself from Rins tiny grasp and make your way over to the Corner of the room where it lay. You pick it up and run it through your fingers. It was made of silk and it felt like water in your hands as you held it. Your mouth hangs loosely as you press the material up against your body trying to imagine what it might look like on you.
You look at the kimono you have on and notice that it smells like rain. You shrug it off and look down at the silk kimono again, the little light that shines through the window shins on to it making it look even more foreign to you.
You grab it up off the chair once again and walk to your bathroom quickly removing the shirt and skirt that Kagome had lined you and threw them to the side with out a second thought. You pull the kimono on slowly observing how it matches the delicate curves of your body and fits you perfectly.
Looking into the mirror you notice that you're beautiful! You have never looked like this in your whole life, to your knowledge at least. Rummaging through the drawers you find a pink hair clip that matches it nicely. You pull half your hair up leaving the rest to hang loosely at your shoulders. (Ok you hair is three inches longer than your shoulders... not to long not to short)
"Lady Narooma!" You hear Rin call from the room; she must have just woken up.
You finish your hair and walk out the bathroom to a happy-go-lucky Rin. She jumps up off the bed and all most causes you to fall back as she embraces you tightly around you legs. You smile to your self and kneel down to her height and return the suffocating hug. Hearing a sob you look down to see that Rin is crying into your shoulder. You bit you lip and hug her tightly.
"What's wrong Rin?" You say in a whisper since your lips are almost touching her ear.
"Why did you leave Lady Narooma?" Rin says not looking at you only deepening to hug and crying into your hair that was draped over your shoulder.
"Ohh, Rin I'm sorry," You say into her ear softly as her cries turn into silent hic-ups. "I'll never leave you ever again you hear me."
She nods into your silk kimono and pulls away and sits down on the ground wiping away her tears with her sleeves. You lean forward and wipe away the remainder of tears with the back of your hand. You and Rin sit there for a short while till she calms down a little. She sniffs a little then looks up at you and smiles tooth fully.
"Rin do you want to go outside and play?" You say to her wiping some hair away from her face.
"Are you not hungry lady Narooma?" Rin asks you and stand up to her full height only being as tall as you as you kneel.
"Not very Rin now go change and I'll meet you out side ok," You say half lying, you were famished, but you could deal for Rins sake.
