Naraku watch the dragoness with intrest as Sesshomaru and the dragoness fought with each other. The dragoness powered up her sword with her miko powers , Naraku smiled. 'Hmmm, what is this? It seems the dragoness is a miko yokai, how rare'. Continuing to wath the battle naraku squrmed in his seat as he saw the dragoness absorb tokijin's dragon strike and powered up her claws. 'The dragoness is very deadly with her powers, she might be some use to me later' Naraku thought to himself.

Continuing to watch he saw both of the battler's tiring Sesshomaru manage to attack quickly enought that he dragoness lost her footing and landed on her back with sesshomaru's sword at her throat. Seeing the dragoness was defeated, Naraku sent his Saimyoshu to Kagura's location. Naraku continue to watch the dragoness when he heard Sesshomaru ask for her name her, 'Asami is it.' Naraku said with a smile.

Hiding behind a tree not to far from where the battle had taken place, Kagura heard buzzing and looked behind her. 'Saimyoshu, Naraku must be up to something'. Lisening to the orders that the Saimyoshu had brought with them, Kagura smiled.

'So that's what he is up too,hnn'. Pulling out a feather from her hair, Kagura sent her scent towards Sesshomaru. Floating towords the clearing Kagura could hear Sesshomaru say her name, with a smirk she sent her wind of blades towards Sesshomaru. Naraku turned his head to the mirror that Kanna was holding to watch Kagura face off against the dragoness and Sesshomaru.

Naraku hiss angerly as Asami was hit with Kagura's dance of the dragon attack, 'I told her to capture the dragoness without harming her, she will be punish when she returns' .As Naraku returned his full attention to the mirror he saw kagura fleeing from battling Sesshomaru. "She compleatly defied my orders!" Naraku yelled as he slamed his fist into the table breaking it easiy.' When I done with her she will never defy me ever again!' not looking at Kanna Naraku got up, 'Kanna, withdraw' he said as he left the room in rage.

The moon was in the sky when Asami woke up, looking around she notice she was not in the field anymore. Asami started squrming in Sesshomaru's arms trying to get out of her captor's arms. The arm tighten as a growl of anoyance was heard from her captor,"Stop moving dragoness or I will drop you.' Sesshomaru said as his grip tighten stopped struggling when she heard Sesshomaru's voice, "Where are we, Sesshomaru?" Asami asked as she looked up at Sesshomaru we are headding towards my home so you can be healed properly, dragoness." Sesshomaru said.

Looking confused Asami looked at her side and notice the gaping hole . Pain lanced into her body as Sesshomaru adjusted her so he can carry her more easily, with a gasp Asami manage not to hit Sesshomaru as he adjusted her teeth Asami tapped Sesshomaru's sholder with one of her black claws, looking down at Asami Sesshomaru saw her gritting her teeth in pain." Put me down Sesshomaru, I can heal myself" nodding Sesshomaru found a suitable location to land.

As Sesshomaru put Asami down at the base of a tree, Asami struggled to get comfortable. With a sigh asami gave up tring to get comfortable and looked towards Sesshomaru. Asami said"Sesshomaru can you please get me some fireood." With a nod Sesshomaru left using his demnic speed, Asami tried to relax while waiting for Sesshomaru's return. Suddenly a hoard of demons appeared and charged towards saw them coming and threw up a purifying barier.

The demons slammed into the barrier and was purfied but they kept approaching. Asami felt her powers weakening as the demons continue to thro themself at the berrier. Asami grunted with effort to keep the barrier up but but the barrier flickered a couple of times and faded, the demons roared with sucess as the barrier failed. Asami felt dizzy as her powers were being drained from demons charged at Asami knowing that Asami had nothing left to defend herself.

Asami heard a howl as a wolf demonplunged into the low level demons and started to rip them apart with his claws."Where are you, Naraku!" howled the wolf as he continued to slash his way through the demons. Koga noticed tht some demons manage to fet pass him and was heading for the dragoness that was leaning against a tree. Before koga knew it he was infront of the dragoness blocking the demons path. The demons slammed koga into the tree next to the tree the dragoness was leaning on.

the demons were trying to pin koga to the tree as another set of demons went after the dragoness. With a savage growl koga shredded the demons that were pinning him to the over at the dragoness he saw her wing cover her body to block the demons. One of the demons bit into Asami wing which made her howl in pain. Asami's body grew scales all over her body as she tried to hold the demons off. To koga's amazment he saw the dragoness grow scales all over her body and her tail appeared.

koga chared at the demons surounding the dragoness and killed the ones attached to her wings. "Are you ok?" koga asked as he killed a couple of demons that were trying to get at her. The dragoness uncovered her body and looked at koga with her now glowing blood red eyes. "Move wolf! I wish not to hurt you." asami mangaged to gasp out as she hit one one of the demons in the head with her spiked tail.

Jumping backkoga notice that she was surrounded by naraku's demons. With a roar asami changed her form into her complete dragon self and stared shreaddng the demons near to her. without warning the clearing lit up with fire as asami breathed flames at the demons that were attacking her. koga hid behind a tree and watch in amazment as asami incenerated the demons.

Koga could smell the burnt clesh in the air which made him gag. with a shiver asami reverted back to her humaniod self and collapsed against the tree with exzastion. Sesshomaru growled at koga while coming into view. koga turned to sesshomaru and growled back defensively.

koga rushed at sesshomaru with blinding speed and with a smirk sesshomaru grabbed koga by the neck and slammed him into the nearest tree. koga was struggling to get out of sesshomaru's grasp as sesshomaru tighten his grip. "Tell me why i shouldn't kill you wolf?" sesshomaru said with a growl in his voice. " Sesshomaru please put the wolf down, he was trying to protect me." Sesshomaru glanced at asami and let koga go.

koga got up and looked at asami"Who are you and why is naraku's demons after you?" koga asked "my name is asami, whats your's wolf?"

"I am koga the leader of the wolf demon clan" said koga with a smug expression on his face. 'koga must being trying to impress me' thought asami as she smiled. "Nice to meet you koga, i want to say thankyou for helping me." "it was nothing, asami"koga said. "well now that we all met i would like to heal" said asami. asam looked over at sesshomaru and notice that there was no firewood in his arm or in the little clearing. "umm, sesshomaru where is the firewood that you went to get?" asami asked

Without saying a word sesshomaru left the clearing and returned in a couple of seconds. Asam was wondering why sesshomaru left the firewood behind but said nothing about it. Asami focused on her wounds and winced in pain; sesshomaru set the wood down near asami with a sigh.; ' I wondering whats eating him' thought asami as she glanced at the firewood and nodded.

With a small smile Asami tried to get up but her legs would not hold her up and she slid against the growled at herself as she tried again and was not able to stand up with her wobbly legs. Asami layed back against the tree with exzastion and sighed with irritation. " So is someone going to help me out here or is this intertaining for you guys" Asami said irritably koga and sesshomaru looked at each other for a couple minutes trying to decide who will do it.

"Sometime tonight would be nice" Asami manage to growl out as a wave of pain hit her. Sesshomaru nodded and steped forward to help her up. Asami grunted as Sesshomaru leaned over and pulled her to a standing position with almost all her weight on him. "Thank you, Sesshomaru." Asami said. Sesshomaru nodded in responce.

"Koga move the firewood in the middle of the clearing, please."said Asami with a grunt. Koga did what Asami said and moved the firewood to the middle of the clearing. " There you go Asami" koga said with a small smile. Asami looked at Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru looked back at her. Time seemed to slow for Asami as she was looking at Sesshomaru.

'Wow his eyes are beautiful they are like luqid gold is in therm and those stripes on his face makes him look handsome' thought Asami as another wave of pain riped through her and brought her out of her daze.

"Sesshomaru I need to barrow some of your strength for this is that ok?" Asami said as she looked away from Sesshomaru, one of sesshomaru eyebrow rose. Just then koga stepped forward and said " you can barrow it from me, Asami."

Asami looked at koga with suprise. " Koga please dont take this wrong but if i took power from you, you will die and I do not wish for that." Asami said regretably. Koga nodded sadly as he backed away. Asami looked back at Sesshomaru to see what he would say.

"What do I need to do, Asami?" Sesshomaru said. "I need you to flare your yokai and keep it stable. if you feel it being pulled dont resist or my power will react to you pulling your yokai away and suck all the energy out of you."

Hearing this koga gulped ' no wonder why she would not let me do it. I can't flair my yokai at a stable rate and on top of that if i felt her pull on my yokai I would have pulled my yokai away and it would have killed me. She must have notice this and thats why she picked Sesshomaru.

"Can you do that Sesshomaru?" asked Asami, Sesshomaru nodded readied himself. "Go ahead Sessomaru, you can start now" Asami gasped out as another wave of pain hit her. Koga watched as Sesshomaru flared his yokai and Asami cling on to Sesshomaru. Koga gasped when he saw Sesshomaru's yokai essence 'It is so huge' thought koga.

Asami felt sesshomaru flare his yokai and stablized it,with a nod Asami flared her yokai and started the process. Asami yokai started to tug at sesshomaru yokai lightly as she tried to let Sesshomaru get use to the sensation.

Suddenly Tenseiga started to hum and glow. 'What is this' Sesshomaru thought as he looked down at Tenseiga with amusment. Just then something unexpected happened, ' I hope I am not hurting Sesshomaru' Sesshomaru heard ' I must be hearing things' thought Sessomaru. 'Sesshomaru?' Is that you?' asami thought to Sesshomaru as she looked up at him Sesshomaru nodded.

'What are you doing in my head, Asami?' Sesshomaru thought. 'Umm I am not sure to tell you the truth' Asami thought back. All of a sudden Asami knew what was happening, ' Sesshomaru I think i know what is happening' 'What is it Asami?'

'I belive we are using telepathy, Sessomaru. my family and me use telepathy to talk to each other sometimes, so maybe when your sword started glowing you tapped into it.' Sesshomaru was silent for a bit and then thought, 'Can you hear all my thoughts, Asami?' 'No, sesshomaru only the ones you do not guard carefully' 'Asami are you almost done?' 'Yes I am almost done Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru I have to light the the firewood with my healing flames but it might hurt you.' 'Just get it over with Asami'

With that Asami turned to face the firewood and consintrated on her healing powers. Asami's body started to glow brightlyas the smell of burning flesh reached koga's eyes started flashing red as Asami continued to consintrate."Umm asami if i were you i would hurry it up" koga said to asami.

asami grunted in aknowledgement as Asami's body pulsed. Asami opened her mouth to shoot her healing flames on the firewood. The blue flames dance on the firewood merrily as they waited for her. Asami felt the strength that she barrowed leave her body as she sent her healing flames onto the firewood.

Asami felt a growl ripple across sesshomaru's chest as Sesshomaru tried to keep from transforming. " Are you ok Sesshomaru?" Asami asked Sesshomaru only nodded but she heard his thoughts. 'Damn that hurt'

'You know I can hear you, right?' Asami thought to Sesshomaru. 'I thought the telepathy will stop after you were done barrowing my powers' Sesshomaru thought. ' I thought so too but I guest not, Sesshomaru but I think we are linked telepathicly now. 'Are you crazy I hate having you hear my thoughts' 'Well gaurd them better and stop brodcasting so loud it is giving me a headeahe.' 'We will discus this later, Asami'

Asami and Sesshomaru stop thinking to each other for a couple of minutes. 'Hello Sesshomaru snap out of it, I still need help over here.' 'Huh, Oh yes, whats next Asami?' 'I need you to carry me to that fire and put me in it, Sesshomaru, thats all the rest I can do myself.' Asami heard his thoughts sigh ' hey whats that sigh about, Sesshomaru?' 'Its nothing' thought Sesshomaru as Sesshomaru picked up Asami and started to walk over to the fire.

As Sesshomaru got close to the fire Koga ran infront of them to block them. "Move wolf!" Sesshomaru barked at Koga. " I will not let you put Asami in that fire, Sesshomaru." Koga said in defiance " Koga I need you to move out of the way" Asami said Koga looked at Sesshomaru with disbelief " You are going to let her do this" " This is what she wants for herself, I cant' argue with her." Sesshomaru said with agitation. "Now move wolf or I will remove you myself." Sesshomaru said threatningly. Koga shooked his head and stepped aside.

Sesshomaru then picked up Asami and sat her in the flames. The fire burned Sesshomaru as he put her down and stepped away. The fire envelop Asami with a flair,as a sigh can be heard from Asami as her clothes burned away leaving her naked in front of koga and Sesshomaru. Koga was staring at her as her clothes clothes burned away.

Growling with agitation Asami sent a small fire ball toward Koga lighting his tail on fire. Howling in pain, Koga turned his attention to his tail trying to put his tail out. Asami huffedas she looked away from Koga. ' He deserved that' Asami thought to Sesshomaru with a laugh. " I hate to say it but that was amusing' Sesshomaru thought back with his normal uncaring face.

"Koga I will need more firewood, please can you get more." Asami said as soon Koga was done putting his tail out. Nodding Koga set ooff to look for more firewood in the surrounding turned to look at Sesshomaru to see if he needed the same treatment but to Asami's suprise he was staring off into the forest where Koga vanished into.'You seemed suprised that I am not looking Asami, I do have some respect not to look like Koga did'

Smiling at Sesshomaru comment Asami grew her scales all over her body. 'That would have to do for now until I heal' Asami thought to herself.'So how is your arm Sesshomaru ? is it ok?' ' If you don't mind can you speak normally now I am starting to get a headache, Asami.' " Sure i don't mind Sesshomaru, but seriously how is your arm?" "its fine Asami it is almost healed."That good but i am still sorry for burning you." Asami said as she fidgeted. " Don't worry about it" Sesshomaru said with a small hint of of irritation. there was a couple of minutes of silence between Asami and Sesshomaru before Sesshomaru spoke again.

"Why is the wolf here, Asami" Sesshomaru said. "Well while you were gone I was attacked by a swarm of yokai." Asami paused for a couple of seconds to see of would want me to continue."continue, Asami."I groaned "Sesshomaru how about i show you instead me telling you." Sesshomaru looked confused for a second but then nodded his head. Asami closed her eye and consintrated on the scene and sent it to Sesshomaru.

After a couple of minutes Sesshomaru opened his eyes and looked at Asami with with his normal blank face but Asami felt Sesshomaru amusement. " I did not know you can transform, Asami." Sesshomaru said. Asami gave Sesshomaru a questioning glance. " Why wouldn't I be able to transform, Sesshomaru." Just then Koga returned " Three thousand years ago there was a plague that effected all yokai it killed many yokai but finally the plague left and since then the woman yokai we not able to transform to there true self." Koga said as he put the firewood against a tree not to far from Asami.

"Where I come from, I never heard about the plague but it sounds horrible though" Koga looked at Asami with surprise. "Where have you been?" "Well a lot of places Koga but I never heard about this plague before." Asami said exasperated. "Well now you know of it." Koga said as he headed back into the forest. " Koga I got enough firewood you do not need to get more" " I am not getting more firewood Asami but I caught all of our dinners" Koga said with a smirk and went back into the forest to retrieve it.

Koga came back with three decent sized boars "Wow nice catch, Koga" Asami Said cheerfully. " Thanks Asami." Koga then Sesshomaru stood up and said "Koga, watch Asami" as he left the clearing. "Where is he going?" koga asked Asami, Asami shrugged her shoulders as she checked her injuries. Where the gash in her side was, now had small scales growing back. Happy that she was almost done healing she sighed with contentment.

"Koga can you bring some of that wood please" Asami asked Koga. "Sure, Asami" Koga said happily as he went over to the pile and pulled two branches out. "Here you go, Asami" "Thanks, Koga." Asami said as she got up and put he branches underneath herself. Koga walked back to the tree he was leaning on before. "So Koga why are you after Naraku and who is this Naraku? I met a wind witch named Kagura who spoke of him but I don't know anything about him.

Koga looked over at Asami and Asami wave him over so he can tell his story. "Naraku is a demon who is searching for the shikon jewel." Asami thought back to Kagura who said that she was sent by Naraku to retrieve the jewel shard that Sesshomaru had. "So why are you looking for him? Maybe to get the jewel shards from him? Asami asked Koga.

Koga shooked his head "I'm looking for Naraku to avenge my fallen comrades." Koga said. "What happened? Did you upset him in some way for him to kill your comrades?" "No Asami, there was a rumor about a trove or shikon shards at a human castle. The North, South, West and some of my own heard the rumor. They decided they wanted the jewel shards and went to the castle to retrieve them. They were slaughtered by Kagura the wind witch." "So why not kill Kagura to avenge your tribe members death?" asked Asami.

Koga looked Asami in the eyes and said, "Kagura is one of Naraku incarnations, Naraku sent Kagura to kill my tribe members." "And you weren't there with them because..." Asami said " At the time I was injured by the bird of paradise king and was not interested in the shards at that moment.

*Meanwhile*

Sesshomaru continued walking until he reached the hot spring he was looking for. Looking at the hot spring, Sesshomaru got undress and stepped in. Sesshomaru let out a sigh as he sat down in the water, leaning over Sesshomaru grabbed his bathing herbs from his clothes and began to wash Asami's blood off. Asami will need clothes soon ' Sesshomaru thought to himself as he looked at his clothes on the ground. Sighing Sesshomaru finished washing, stepped out of the hot spring and dried off. Getting dressed Sesshomaru looked down at his clothes, ' I'll need a new set too.'

Sesshomaru landed in Amishi and went to look for the seamstress. It did not take long for him to find it and entered the hut. Sesshomaru saw a black widow spider at a loom when he came in and he cleared his voice. " "hello how may i help you today?" The black widow said before turning around. The black widow gasped as she turned around to see who it was. "oh lord Sesshomaru how nice to see you." the black widow said " My name is Ayako andwhat can I get for you today?

"I would like to get one of my usual clothes and a kimono" Sesshomaru said. "Ok come this way to pick out the fabric of the kimono." Ayako said. Ayako showed Sesshomaru the different patterns to Sesshomaru. there was a pattern that seem very nice and would go with Asami's wings. "I want the blue one with white flowers on it. " Sesshomaru said while pointing to it. " Good choice, Lord Sesshomaru. Ok I would need the measurements for the kimono please." ' I don't know her measurement' thought Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru decided to ask Asami.

'Asami, are you there?' ' Huh, Sesshomaru is that you?' 'Yes Asami it is me. i have something to ask you.' What is it, Sesshomaru.' ' I need your measurements, Asami' 'What for?' ' That is a surprise but please give me the measurements.' ' uhh, ok they are **,**,**.' ' Ok Asami thanks'

Sesshomaru told Ayako what the measurements was " Ok lord Sesshomaru it will be done in an hour or so can you come and pick it then?" Sesshomaru nodded and left the hut. stepping outside Sesshomaru decide to get back to the castle in the west to set Asami's room up.
