Your POV

You feel a movement at your side causing you to come into consciousness. With out opening your eyes you realize that you're now in a bed. Some one is cuddled into your side because you feel the warmth radiating from it. The body next to yours is small and really warm.

You open your eyes to see that you're in your room in Sesshomaru's castle. Your bed covers are pulled off to one side covering the small figure that is cuddled up into you. It's obviously Rin you conclude as you pull back the covers to bring the little girl into view. She yawns slightly as the light from the window pours onto her face like water.

You can see her eyes moving beyond her eyelids side to side and you notice that she is having a dream. You observe she face with a warm motherly smile slipping onto your face. Rins lips are pulled up into a pure smile of happiness, and you smile even wider to yourself. You lift your hand to wipe the loose strands from her youthful face. A stab of happiness rips its way through your heart. You had missed her allot even if it had been only two days.

The memories of the nights before come flashing back to you. Remembering your promise to your self you lay yourself back down beside her petting her hair with the back of your hand then brushing it with your hands. Slowly you fall back to sleep with your hand still upon her head.

When you wake up next Rin is shaking you awake, and you open your eyes. Then she smiles widely and tackles you in a hug nearly knocking the breath out of you. You laugh fully and hug her back.

"Lady Narooma you're back!" Rin speaks loudly into your shoulder.

You remember your old name suddenly; you had almost forgotten it. You promise you're self-right then that you're going to remember that name because it had been the only thing you had before Rin. You look down at Rin and smile; you suddenly have a piercing realization that Rin saved you.

"Hey Rin, guess what!" You say to her in a childish voice like I-know-something-you-don't-know!

She looks up at you with wondering eyes and asks: "What Mommy?"

"Mommy's real name is actually Keishi!" you tell her in a sweet voice smiling down at her.

Her smile widens and she hugs you again tightly.

After talking to Rin about the happenings that had occurred during the time that you were away you and her leave the room to see if there was any food you could eat. Well obviously after you got dressed in new clothes, duhh. Walking side by side you walk down the long halls of Sesshomaru's castle till you come to the door to the dinning room. Rin and you glide by the floor height table and enter a door off to the right. At the moment you bring the door ajar a strong smell of fish flows through your nostrils and into your lungs. Though you welcome the smell because it's not only the smell of fish that reaches you, other smells like spices and lemon are mixed nicely with it.

"Get out of the way!" A voice sounds loudly from beyond the door.

You squeak in fright when a male demon yells to you in alarm running into you. He runs head on into you bring you to the ground with him landing fully onto of you. You open your eyes a crack to look at Rin to find that she had run into the kitchen before you. The man that's lying on top of you groans and lifts his head slightly shaking his head to relieve himself of the plain surprise that must have hit him as hard as hit you.

"Ummm... can you please get off of me?" You ask him after a few seconds in question.

He waits a moment still lying on top of you and he finally answers: "Whets your name?"

"Can you get off me?" You ask again feeling a little uncomfortable with his whole body weight leaned up against you.

His warm breath just brushes up against your skin with out end and he stares into your eyes for a moment.

"What's your name?" He repeats

"Get off of me!" you say getting annoyed.

"What's your name? He said more forcefully

"GET OFF OF ME!" You yell into his face and he leans up on his knees and slaps you across the face.

"I said what is your name Bitch!" He said startling you.

You look out of the corner of your eye again seeing the kitchen door closed and no sign of it opening soon. Your eyes dart back to the demon with freight finding its way onto your face. You remember your promise to your self and anger starts to boil in the pit of your stomach dangerously. Your face remains emotionlessly strait and cool.

"Get off of me..." you say coolly for the last time.

"Why should I bitch? He answers harshly giving you a dangerous look and you suddenly see the same look that you had all ways seen Sesshomaru's like; lust reflecting onto you.

His eyes wander your body and you look down to see his hands clenched into fists trying to control him but you knew that he couldn't because even Sesshomaru couldn't. Worry started inside you again but you knew you had to do something. You can't let this happen; you shouldn't even allow him to look at you that way! You made up your mind; you have to do something.

You leap up catching him off guard causing him to fall onto his back in front of you. You yell out in anger and step forward your foot landing on his wee-wee.

"Don't you ever I throws your foot down again making him gasp in pain /I ever I again /I ever I again /I look at me I again /I like that ever I again /I again I again /I !" you yell out and you hear a door open behind you that opens into the hall, but you didn't care who it was.

"And I hope you don't have children!" You yell at him harshly as he rolls on the ground in pain crying out.

You turn around on you heal heading out to the door. But you don't make it that far. When you turn around you run into another man. You can tell because you recognize the shirt that Sesshomaru usually wears!

The demon struggled to his feet then turns to you. His face is contorted in anger and you look over at Sesshomaru who still hasn't done anything. Before you could even look back at the servant something happened fast and with out warning. You hadn't noticed to demon drawing back his hand to smack you when you were looking at Sesshomaru, and before his hand came into contact with your skin something caught it.

You look away from Sesshomaru to see that the servant's hand was three inches from your face and almost turning purple from the pressure Sesshomaru put upon him as his long fingers grabbed his forearm. You looked at the seen and stopped your self before your mouth dropped in awe.

"Servant, you do not touch a guest in my castle!" Sesshomaru declares snarling at the man tightening his grip.

Next thing you remember is hearing a disgusting crake and a yell of pain from the servant. You didn't see but Sesshomaru's eyes had turned a blood red, and his face contorted in anger. He drew one of the swords at his side and slit his neck in front of you. The sight disgusted you and you turned around shielding your eyes. You hear the dead body of the servant drop to the floor in a loud thump and you shiver.

"Servants!" You hear Sesshomaru behind you growl, and his face grows normal.

Two woman servants open the door to the kitchen talking amongst them selves. The two once they open the door upturn their noses as though smelling something. Their noses flare in a disgusted way and see the dead man next to Sesshomaru. One of the two gasps and step back but the other sighs and steps forward toward the body.

Sesshomaru leaves the servants to clean up the mess and you head into the kitchen ready to puke. Since you had lost your appetite you decided to just find Rin and go outside to play with her. You find her sitting with some other woman next to and open chimney type thing where some stew is cooking.

"Mommy where have you been I've been waiting for you?" Rin say happily hugging you around your legs tightly.

"Nothing to worry about Rin have you eaten yet?" you ask her worried only about her at the moment, as a mother should.

"Yes mommy, but don't you want to eat?" Rin replies concerned.

"No I'm not hungry any more do you want to go out side and play, Rin?" you said knelling down to her height and the two of you exit from a door out of the kitchen into the gardens so that you didn't have to walk past the mess from earlier.

Hours later you and Rin lay out in the gardens out side under the stars and the moon. Rin is cuddled up to your arm and your brushing her hair with your fingers. The moment is so silent and peaceful and you almost fall asleep. A glowing light approaches the two of you fleeing above almost blending in with the stars and the moon. Soon many follow the one firefly and countless fireflies surround you. Unknown to your Sesshomaru is watching for the safety of both you and Rin.

Rin falls asleep on your arm still cling onto it sweetly. You look down at her and you smile slightly as her sleeping form. You had never asked her of what had happened to her real parents because that might bring tears to the sweet girls eyes. You wanted to know though; you want to know why this sweet little girl never had a mother. Tears start to form around your eyes but you stop them. 'What am I doing!' you think to your self 'why am I crying? It's because I'm sorry for Rin; how come she's so young and has lost both her mother and father! Why did Sesshomaru take her in anyway?'

You shift slightly taking Rins small body in your arms and amazingly you carry her with ease. You had never been able to carry her before so easily! You ignore the newfound information and you begin to make your way to the castle.

You make it to the courtyard doors in no time at all and rested Rin on your knee for a second you slide open the door and walk inside. You walk through the halls silently being careful not to drop Rin. You come to the entrance hall and you take the stairs on the left up a floor and down the hall to her room.

After setting Rin in her bed you head out the door sliding it shut behind you. You stare at the door for a moment pausing to think about the day. Did Sesshomaru bring you back to the castle, and did he do anything else that night. Over the time you've been staying with him you've piled up so many questions to ask him you've nearly forgotten half of them. A creak from a castle floorboard brings you back to your senses and you turn to see what it was that created the sound.

You see through the darkness of the castle, Sesshomaru heading up the stairs diagonal from the stairs you had just came up. Should you go ask him your questions you wonder. Without thinking you go down the stairs towards him. Sesshomaru was halfway up the stairs when you called to him: "Lord Sesshomaru..." you whispered

It seems that he knew you had been there because he didn't even turn around when he heard you he only stopped on the wooden stairs. He answers: "Ten steps..."

You look down and you were only five feet from him and you distance yourself from him. Okay I really have to ask him what's been going on with him now...' you tell your self after taking your last step away from Sesshomaru. You sigh slightly and look down to the ground trying to collect you. Sesshomaru is still frozen halfway up the stairs staring off into the wall in silence.

"What do you want onna..." Sesshomaru says sternly still not taking even the slightest of moves.

You look up at him the light of the moon shining through the window in the corner making the room look so much different from in the morning.

"Lord may I ask you a couple questions...? You ask quietly looking up at him with an undying stare.

He answers with silence keeping his place on the stairs. You sigh and bow to him turning around back to your room. After a few steps you look back to Sesshomaru seeing that he was all ready gone and you sigh to your self. You turn back and continue your way up the stairs...

That night you have a weird dream. It confused you allot and when you woke up after it the moon was still in the middle of the sky. You sit in your bed staring at the wall opposite you; thinking about the dream you had just had.

In the dream you are sitting in the middle of a field at the dead of night. No one else is in sight and the stars above you count to oblivion, but suddenly above you a light starts to shine. Not bright like the sun but silver like the moon. You shield your eyes with the back of your hand leaning back away from the light. The light overcomes you and you find yourself covered by it. You take your hand away from your eyes and lower it down to your side in awe at the sight before you. From the center of the light another color was revealing itself. The color of blood was seeping through the light coming straight toward you threateningly. You gasp as the color drew closer and you realize it was actual blood. You try to scream when the blood reaches you, but it wraps up your leg quickly and around you head bring you into darkness. That was when you woke up.

You scratch your head in a tired manner and lay back down in the bed trying to catch sleep again. You lay for hours it seems but sleep never takes you it stays just feet from you leaving you in agonizing tiredness. You yawn widely and get up off of your bed, and out the door. You walk down the dark hall with you white sleeping kimono (what ever its called) flowing like water around you. You reach the door you were going to and stand out side it for a moment. You stare off into space in you sleepiness till the wind out side brings you back to you senses. You open the door slightly just enough to poke your head into and you do. Rin is sleeping cutely with the covers at her feet and her body drew up into a ball.

You smile slightly and enter the room taking a seat beside Rins bed. You reach up to the blankets tangled at the bottom of the bed and untangled them. You bring them up over Rins sleeping figure and you kiss her motherly on the forehead. Then you take a seat next to Rins bed on the hard wood floor and finally sleep overtakes you.

The next morning you wake up with Rin shaking you childishly. She's repeating over and over again 'mommy its time for breakfast!' You smile at her still tired. You guess you only got about two hours of sleep last night, but you can live. You nod to Rin and kiss her good morning leaving the room to get dressed. You pick out a pale pink kimono and a white obi. Then you join Rin in going to breakfast.

The next few days are normal and you hardly get to see Sesshomaru. It's almost as though he's been avoiding you. 'I would guess that be the only case' you think to yourself in bored ness. A couple weeks go by like this till...

It's been a full month since that night when you talked to Sesshomaru. Your eating breakfast in the dinning hall; Sesshomaru at the very end of the table takes his food in silence. You gladly take yours same as Rin sitting right beside you. The servants are serving you now and its not Jaken. (Oki totally forget about Jaken and the stew etc.) Digging into your food sneaking Rin funny faces you sneak Sesshomaru a look.

You see two amber eyes staring at you when you turn his way. Sesshomaru is staring at you! He doesn't look away when you look at him with confusion and blush filling your face dramatically. Sesshomaru isn't facing you he's facing forward still eating but his eyes are not on his food; they haven't even left you. You can't see form here what his eyes are hiding lust, confusion, and anger. 'Why is he staring at me!' you ask your self in surprise still staring back at Sesshomaru.

You realize that your staring at him also and you turn back to your food blushing faintly into it.

You feel Rin tugging at your kimono at your side and you turn to her. She's smiling up at you sweetly as she asks: "Mommy can we go play out side?"

You nod to her smiling down to her and she finishes quickly and runs outside allowing you to finish your own.

You look back at Sesshomaru and he's now averted his eyes elsewhere and you sigh in relief pushing you plate away heading out the door to a waiting Rin.

After playing with Rin it's near lunchtime and you head in side to rest up a bit. You're heading for your room when you see Sesshomaru heading down the hall from the entrance hall, where you're headed. You look down as you walk and just as you are going to past him you sneak a glance up at him. He isn't staring at you, but he's looking ahead. Something else catches your eye though. After Sesshomaru passes you, you notice blood that had dripped from Sesshomaru's hand to the floor. Whenever he was trying to control himself around you he would clench his fists to the point he bleed. You look over to Sesshomaru to see he had already turned the corner out of sight.

After you get undressed into your sleeping kimono you climb into bed. Rin is already sleeping soundly in her own bed with her blankets tucked around her sweetly. The bed is welcomingly soft and comfortable and you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow...

Sesshomaru's POV

You sit in your room on your bigger than king bed staring at the canopy of the bed thinking hard to yourself. 'What the hell is that onna!' you think to yourself contorting your face in confusion. 'How is it that she can do this to me, its almost like she's an almighty demon in heat!' You sigh to your self-looking out your window. 'Maybe...'

You jump from your window in silence in the cool light of the moon. Finding her window you stand staring at it wondering if you should even go in there. Her sent takes over you and you jump up through the window landing quietly on both legs.

Keishi is sleeping beautifully in her bed at the center of the room. The covers drape over the perfect curves of her body beautifully. You make your way over to her bed in the silence of the room the light of the moon pouring into the room. You see the light of the moon shining on her skin and you're reminded of Liana's word. She warned you to protect Keishi from everything even yourself. 'I won't do anything...' you promise you self-taking a seat on her bed staring down at her. Your heart starts beating faster at the mere sight of her and your body is reacting to her sent.

Though to the displeasure of your own body you just lay down behind her allowing your body to wrap around her. Your chest to her back your head leans down to lay down at the side of her face. You wrap your arms around her sleeping body bringing he closer to you and you lay awake for hours holding her to you...

Liana's POV

You giggle silently looking down at Sesshomaru watching the whole thing unfold before your eyes. 'That's so sweet...' you think to yourself lying down on the moon watching over the sleeping world.

"Lady Liana..." a voice sounds behind you belonging to the young priestess that Henru and you had saved. "May I ask what makes you so..."

"Kumiko, you wouldn't understand my child..." You had renamed her 'Kumiko'.

Ever since you had brang her back to life you had been training her in the miko ways and also of the demon ways. Kumiko's body has reacted to the heavens in odd ways sending her into an early growth sprit and an early maturity. Kumiko now looks as though she is thirteen

"My child head for bed at the castle you have a long day of training tomorrow..." Liana states still watching Sesshomaru and Keishi with a motherly eye.

Your POV

For some reason you slept better that night than any other night. You woke with the blankets covering you fully, which confused you also. Every time you had ever woken up the blankets are usually curled up down by your legs. You ignore these oddities and get up to get dressed. The kimono you pick out is a pure white with pink flowers bordering all the edges and an obi the same color of the flowers.

You walk out of your room to wake up Rin but you nearly run into Jaken whose short stature had nearly tripped you.

"Watch out mortal!" The toad demon says rudely as you apologize.

Then Jaken single nostril in-between his eyes flares reacting to a smell. You look at him in confusion for a moment, but then you head into Rins room; that is still right across from Jaken's.

"Rin, baby, time to get up..." You whisper quietly; just as you creak open the door.

Rin has her blankets pulled over her head in attempt to keep the bright light of the sun from her eyes. You walk over to her and gently shake her for a little while till she moans in argument but gets up nonetheless.

After you get Rin dressed you and her sit up on Rins bed playing with her dolls. You are a black yarn haired doll playing as Rin while Rin is a brunette yarn haired doll playing as you. The story plays out that you and Rin are lost out in a forest when you (Rin) find a magical toad that can summon a magical tree from the ground that can produce a magical fruit etc.

Rin and you play for what seems like only minutes. Later when you look out from the window you see that the sun is all read in the center of the sky. Then you stomach growls in argument to your playtime with Rin demanding food angrily.

"Rin are you hungry?" You ask her setting down your doll just as evil ants that are painted the color of gold capture the toad.

She nods happily setting down her doll down on to the bed unceremoniously. Then Rin and you get up off the bed, and the two of you head out the door side by side. When you open the door you run into a male demon servant who has white blond hair and deep brown eyes. Immediately you take a step back away from him remembering the last time you ran into one of the men servants.

The man stares at you intently as though transfixed till Rin walks up to him and pulls at his clothes to get his attention. He snaps out of it and controls himself.

"The Lord wishes me to inform you that you will leave once again for the field..." He says almost forcing himself to saying it afterwards running off down the stairs and out of sight.

You nod to no one silently and tell Rin to get ready. She runs back into her room leaving you in the hall. 'How come every time we go out I all ways end up in trouble...' you sigh to your self-turning up to your room.

You reach your room and deciding only to take one extra pair of clothes you pick a midnight blue kimono and a white obi. You pack all the necessities like extra linen in you pack (period duhh... your due... I'm so not going to talk about that though) Some of Rins dolls, and a hairbrush. Later that say you head out side after another servant, a female servant, tells you Sesshomaru was leaving. You and Rin climb onto Ah Un's back while Sesshomaru is far up ahead with Jaken waddling along a little behind him. Rin lies down in your lap quickly falling asleep in your arms making you smile.

Up ahead Jaken catches up with Sesshomaru taking quick breaths. Sesshomaru pretends not to notice him and continues on his way occasionally taking a quick peek from the corner of his eye to check up on the two of you. Even though he could smell anything that would approach you...

"Lord Sesshomaru, I have a question to ask of you lord?" Jaken says almost stuttering. (Oki I don't know how he would ask Sesshomaru so please don't get angry at me plz!)

Sesshomaru seems to ignore him for the moment apparently knowing what he was going to ask. Jaken just stares up at his lord with his abnormally large eyes without blinking. Eventually tripping over a rock Sesshomaru leaves him on the ground continuing on his way into a forest.

At nightfall Sesshomaru leaves all of you demanding Jaken to watch the two, you and Rin. After Sesshomaru leaves you and Rin head off for a near by hot spring to take a dip. Jaken growls and stays tending to the fire.

When you and Rin reach the spring you strip and jump in. literally. You and her play around in the water for a while till you tell her to wash up. She does as she is told and you help her wash her back etc.

"Mommy can I go over to the fire?" She asks you after you finish brushing her hair.

"Alone?" you ask starting to brush your own hair.

"Yep!" she declares happily climbing out of the spring grabbing for her kimono.

"Well fine only if you be careful... I'll be there in a minute okay Hun'." You tell her and she runs off for camp leaving you in the hot springs to relax...

You close your eyes letting the warm water of the spring refresh you. All around you is in silence except for the occasional rustle of leaves. Its quiet dark now, but your not frightened its not like anything wound find you offensive...

"What is this that I smell... a human..." you hear a voice from behind you hidden in the trees.

You turn around startled trying to pick out who it was that spoke but it is to dark out and the trees are close to gather and leafy.

"Who is it...?" you ask into the trees, hugging yourself so the intruder would not see your bare chest.
