Chapter Three: Enter the Lord of the West

Rose had tended to the travelers for about a week now. They all lay on the ground, in a row, the hanyou, miko; young fox demon, the two tails, the monk, and the slayer. Thoughts ran through Rose's head. What connection did they have to Naraku? Who are they? Why is it that they came to HER forest? The young miko stirred, Rose sat by her, waiting for her to wake.

Kagome's eyes opened, and she was looking up to a demoness, the one they had fought earlier. Kagome was frightened, the demon was strong, and could kill her if she chooses to. Kagome looked at her, black hair that fell past her waist, fair skin, a perfectly cold face, and…. And gray eyes? Kagome had only seen people who were blind that had gray eyes. Could it be possible? No, it couldn't. Demons weren't blind they were born with perfect, colorful, inhuman eyes. Kagome sat up, and the demoness spoke.

"I thought you would never wake up young human." Rose said.

"Are you blind?" Kagome asked. 'Oh, great! Kagome, you IDIOT! That was the dumbest question to ask a demon! She's probably going to kill me now!' Kagome thought with fear.

"For a mere human, you are very observant."

"Really? For a second there I thought you were…" Rose cut her off.

"Going to kill you? No, I need to ask you something first, but that doesn't mean that I won't." Kagomes eyes grew wide, but of course Rose didn't notice. But she did sense the miko's fear rise higher. Rose fought the urge to kill her now, just to hear her scream…

"So, what do you want to ask me?"

"How come you and your fellow travelers smell like that bastard, Naraku? What business do you have with him?" Rose spat.

Kagome was astonished. They STILL had the stench of that THING on them after a MONTH! Kagome was totally disgusted. "Naraku? How is it that you know about Naraku?"

"That is none of your business miko." Rose said, adding disgust to the word miko. "I'm losing my patience, now tell me, how is it that Naraku's stench is ALL OVER YOU!"

Kagome was officially scared out of her mind, the demon was now STANDING OVER HER, while she was lay on the ground, and giving her a death look the could make Sesshomaru piss his pants. So, in a heartbeat, Kagome spilled the beans. She told the demon EVERYTHING. She told her about meeting Inuyasha, and shattering the shard, she told her everything to where she was lying right now. And she did it under two minutes tops.

"Thank you, now tell me this, miko, what is you name?" Rose said.

"My-my-my name?"

"Yes you filthy human! Your name! I did not stutter!"

"My name is Kagome!" Kagome yelled in a panic.

"Thank you. You will call me Lady Rose, with no objections, and I am now joining your small, awkward pack. Do you understand?"

Kagome nodded.

"Good." Rose walked off into the forest. "Your friends shall wake soon, an hour at the most. I shall be back after they wake, and make sure to tell them that I will be joining your pack." Rose disappeared.

Kagome sighed loudly. 'That was the most scariest thing that ever happened to me, and she never even touched me.' Kagome thought.

Rose walked on, looking for the only demon that could watch over the forest while she was gone, Chaska. Chaska is a Black Panther demon, a fearless one at that. Fearless only because he thinks he can hide from anyone. Anyone that is but Rose. Chaska sat on a rock, his long black tail swishing back and forth.

"Chaska, I need to ask a favor…"

ONE HOUR LATER!!!!!

Slowly, one by one, the rest of the gang woke up. When they all did, Kagome told them the "great" news.

"WHAT!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha, please calm down, we could use the extra help." Miroku said.

"Hell no! I won't have some bitch just join our group like that!" Inuyasha argued.

"Miroku is right Inuyasha, we could use a powerful demon like that!" Sango added.

"Yah! Plus, maybe she could teach you some manners." Shippo teased.

"What was that you little twerp?" Inuyasha said as he glared daggers at Shippo.

"Inuyasha! Leave Shippo alone! Plus, we have no choice, she's going to join our group." Kagome said calmly.

"Why's that!" Inuyasha screeched.

"Because she'll kill every single one of us if she doesn't! THAT'S WHY!" Kagome yelled.

"Yeah right, I could take that blind demoness bitch!" Inuyasha said with confidence.

"Is that so?" said a voice in Inuyasha's right ear. He slowly stood and turned around. In front of him stood a totally insane demon. She had the evilest grin on her face. She had aura around her, one that said: Say one wrong thing, and I'll kill you, slowly, painfully.

Inuyasha backed away. "So, half-breed, do you still think you can beat me?" She stepped closer, and closer, until she was only about a foot away. Rose was about 6 inches taller then him, and frankly, I think that Inuyasha was scared for his life. His brother didn't even scare him that much.

But this demoness, this killing machine, she was the true meaning of fear. The one who could kill you at any time, one that will kill you for pure pleasure; she is a true assassin, she is the one, the one that kills for a living, she is the one that would kill you for looking at her if she felt like it. She is Rose, Rose of the forest, and Rose of death…

Sesshomaru looked up at the moon and thought, 'Five more days, if I don't find her, then my lands will go to that stupid half-brother of mine… Five more days…'

The three elders had told him a month ago, to find the demoness of ultimate power, the one that holds his father's fourth sword that was made. This ultimate power, it resides in the weapon, the sword. The sword can kill anything, but one thing, his family. Why, because the sword was made from his fathers blood, a dragons fang, and the blood of her father. So when he found her, if she tried to kill him she wouldn't, and then he would have to take her back to his castle, he just hoped that he could find her in time…

The gang has been walking for two days, and they are now camped by a cliff, and Rose is sitting at the edge of this cliff, thinking to herself. Rose sighed; the whole gang was asleep but her. It was finally, quite. She stood to go to the fire. But as she stood, she lost her footing, and fell into the dark depths of the river below, and this is one of those times when she wished she could SEE!!!

As she fell she felt the whip of the wind pass by her. She crashed into ice-cold water, so cold that it reminded her of her heart, her soul. She crashed into rocks, big and small. Her head hit against a boulder, and she fell unconscious.

The sun kissed Sesshomaru's face as it rose. He opened his eyes, and looked at the river flowing by, and as he stared at it, a female body floated by with a sword strapped to her back. He sat up and ran to the edge. Something inside told him, that this female was she, the one her was searching for. He put Tensiga and Tokajin on the bank and dived into the water, he through her over his shoulder, and awkwardly swam ashore. As he flipped her onto her back on the bank, he saw a not full-grown demoness, but one nearing her transformation of age.

He saw a woman, a woman with pure black hair, and… Wait, it is her! How does he know? Why, her fighting out fit of course, for across the shoulder lays the pink sakura blossoms…
