You were standing outside the room, wondering how he knew that you wouldn't kill him, and whether he would come after you. There was silence inside your room and you found yourself wondering what he was doing in there. You resisted the temptation to go inside to see, and stood against the door. Then, you heard footsteps coming towards the door. You stood completely still. He opened the door quickly, and reached out an arm to pull you into the room. "You're not very smart, girl. I could smell you out there." Sesshoumaru said, sitting you down on the bed. You sighed. "Oh well..." you breathed. He stood in front of you, you staring up at him. There was silence. As you stared up at him, you noticed that he was nervous. You smiled reassurringly. He scowled, looking at your face. "Girl. You have annoyed me far more than I can stand." he said, clenching his teeth together. You stared at him surprised, then your face went blank. "If I annoy you so much, why do you come after me when I try to escape you? Wouldn't it be easier to just let me go?" He glared at you silence. You closed your eyes for a moment, exasperated by him. You shook your head, then opened your eyes. You stood up, frowning, and walked purposefully out of the room.
You stood in the courtyard of Sesshoumarus palace, staring into the distance. Rin was running around chasing a butterfly a couple of metres from you. Your mind only vaguely noticed her. "Miss Yuki?" a voice interrupted your thoughts, tentatively. You turned your head to see who it was. "Haru!" you exclaimed. "Hey, Miss Yuki. Are you alright?" he said, his smile turning to a puzzled frown as he spoke the last sentence. You grinned. "Of course I am! Why wouldnt I be?" you questioned. His frown deepened. "I don't know. But you seem... annoyed. And preoccupied." You smiled, reassuringly. "I'm fine. I'm just... tired." He frowned slightly. "Ok, if you say so." He said, still looking at you doubtfully. You stood in silence, watching Rin for a few minutes, then "Why don't you leave here?" you heard Haru ask. You turned your head to look at him. "What do you mean?" you asked, surprised. He smiled, weakly. "You don't like it here, and you don't like Lord Sesshoumaru." he explained. You bowed your head, letting your black hair hang over your pale green eyes. "I can't leave. Even if I did, he'd find me again. I need to find out why he wants me here. I need to..." You paused, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath. "I can't leave." He sighed. "You seem like a smart, strong woman. You could escape him if you tried hard enough."He stared at you face as if trying to work you out. You sighed. "What is the point? I have no where else to go." You sighed, then grinned mischiviously. "Besides, I get to spend time with you!" You said cheekily, purposefully attempting to change the subject. He grinned at your comment, but continued staring at you searchingly. You smiled at him, wanting him to forget to worry about you. You bit your lip, mischieviously. "Race to you Rin." you said, before starting to run. "HEY!" you heard Haru say behind you. You smirked and continued running, noticing him gaining on you ever so slightly. You sped up, a metre away from Rin, then jumped on her, tackling her playfully to the ground. You and Rin lay panting on the ground, and you looked up at Haru. He was grinning at you. "I am the winners!" You said, punching the air. He laughed. "yes, but it was an unfair match, you started before me." You smirked, then said "Yes, well I'm a girl. I have a disadvantage, so I just factored that in." He shook his head. "And you never considered the fact that I'm a human and you're not. Thats an unfair disadvantage for me." You giggled. "Nope!" Rin was sitting next to you, watching the conversation with interest. "HELLO! I'm Rin! Will you be my friend?" she said cheerfully to Haru when there was a pause. He smiled down at Rin. "Yes. Of course. If you want me to be." He said, friendlily. Rin jumped up and down in joy. "YAY!" She grabbed onto your arm pulling you up, then latched onto Haru as well. "Come play with Rin." she said, pulling you both along with her.
Yuri's p.o.v
You were finally close to rescuing your sister. You were still with the Inu-gang, however you had not spoken to them since they accused Itsuwari of being Naraku. "Yuri?" Came a tentative voice from beside you. You ignored it, noticing it was the girl, Kagome. "Um..." she continued talking nervously. You rolled your eyes. 'Doesn't she get the point?' You asked yourself. "Just so you know, we're going to reach the gardens of Sesshoumarus castle in a couple of minutes." She explained. You suddenly became happier, after hearing that. Soon you would have your sister back. You continued walking, noticing that Kagome slowed down and moved back to walk with Sango and Shippo who were behind you. You rolled your eyes again. 'The weaklings are at the back' you thought. Suddenly the bushes around you cleared and you were greeted by the site of a huge castle. You stared at it amazed. Then you noticed Yuki and young girl and a male running around chasing each other on the lawn. You ran over to Yuki, yelling her name. She stopped suddenly when she heard her name, causing the young girl to crash into her. "YURI!" she yelled, coming towards you. When she was a metre away from you, she suddenly vanished. Laughter surrounded you as you stood shocked.
