Disclaimer: I don't any of the InuYasha characters, but I do own Ayami and her family.
Protecting Love
Chapter 3
On the road
"Oh yay! Rin has another person to talk to." Rin said energetically.
"I am very happy to keep you company, Rin. You are such a pretty little girl." Ayami smiled.
Ayami was with Rin at the end of the little train. Ah-un was listening to them with earnest. Sesshomaru was at the front (like usual) with Jaken. Jaken would not stop talking even though Sesshomaru was barely listening to what he was saying at all.
Sesshomaru was deeply in thought. He didn't know why he was attracted to this demoness. He had just met her even though he knew her father well. He also knew some of her sisters and her two brothers.
'I wonder what it is about her' Sesshomaru thought before he noticed that Ayami was talking to him.
"Hello? If you're listening, how far away are we from your castle?" Ayami asked.
As she started to walk away, thinking he hadn't heard her, Sesshomaru answered her question.
"2 days walk including today. We should get there late tomorrow if we keep the pace."
"Alright, thank you." Ayami smiled and walked away with a sort of float.
She stopped at Ah-un and rubbed both necks. Then she icily by Jaken and stopped at Rin. The little human looked up at the woman and giggled.
"Rin, are you hungry? Would you like me to catch of fish and cook them?" Ayami asked the girl.
"Yes thank you! Rin is not good at fishing yet. Fish is one of Rin's favorite foods." Rin said jumping up and down.
"Alright then, give me ten minutes and it will be ready." Ayami said over her shoulder as she walked away.
10 minutes later
"Yum. This is good fish! How did you cook it so fast? Fish usually takes a long time to cook." Jaken complemented.
They were all very impressed (Sesshomaru hid it well) at how many fish Ayami had caught.
"You see this star in the middle of my crescent moon? Well, that represents that I am half-elemental demon. I can control the elements so I used fire. The crescent moon and wavy stripes represent that I am half-inuyouki. My mother is elemental demon while my father is inuyouki." Ayami explained.
Everyone (all but Sesshomaru) nodded. It made sense. Everything was in its place.
"Now that we are done, let's go." Sesshomaru ordered.
"I'm going to run ahead." Ayami said.
Before anyone could stop her, she had run off and was gone. They all looked after her. She could run with the inhuman speed of an inuyouki.
Jaken got the -.- look and muttered to himself about how pushy women could be.
Rin laughed while Sesshomaru inwardly sighed. Everybody set out again and waited for Ayami to find them again.
