INNER DEMON

thinking

"Sesshomaru?" Ami asks. "yes? What is it Ami?" Sesshomaru asks thinking that it may be something about their baby. "Do you know of any one who can train Kizu?" Ami questions. "There is one person that I know of. She has been away from the western lands for a while now. Her name is Rika. She is one half wind demon and one half dog demon." Sesshomaru answers. "How old is she?"

"She is 18, a year younger than myself." (A.N. Please know that Sesshomaru is 19 in the manga.) "I have known her for a long time. She was close to my mother." Ami knew that Sesshomaru did not like to talk his mother so she decided not to ask how Rika knew her.

"So how is Rika getting here?" Ami asks. "We will get her." I wonder what Sesshomaru's relationship is with this Rika? WHO KNOWS. ARE YOU JEALOUS? No! Why would I be jealous dog demons mate for life. Don't ask such a silly question. FINE. FINE. The two demons sat in silence. Sesshomaru was about to speak again when he heard a knocking on the bedroom door. "Ooka-san, Outa-san. Breakfast is ready." Kizu informed.

On their way down the stairs to the dining room Sesshomaru decided to tell Kizu about Rika. "Kizu, Ami and I have found you a suitable person to train you. Her name is Rika and you will refer to her as Rika-sama unless otherwise instructed.." Kizu had no time to respond because they had arrived at the dining table.

Nobody uttered a word because they were all absorbed in their own thoughts. Kizu's mind was racing about who his sensei would be. He was wondering if Umaye was all right because it was windy outside. I'm fine. Kizu jumoed a little. He had forgotten about the telepathic link between him and Umaye.

Rin was thinking about what she give her Ooka-san for her birthday. It was lter today and she hadn't gotten anything. Rin knows Rin will get Ooka-san a daisy. Rin thinks not remebering that it was winter.

Now we will take a peek at Sesshomaru's thoughts. I can't believe that I am going to allow Rika to be Kizu's Sensei. I CONCUR. There is no way around it. She is the only other wind demon I know. If she wasn't a filthy crossbreed we would get along better. AMI KNOWS THAT YOU ARE AND RIKA ARE SIBLINGS RIGHT? RIGHT? No. She doesn't know and she does not need to know. WHAT IF AMI GETS JEALOUS AND KILLS HER WHAT THEN? I would kill the Rika myself if she wasn't the only wind demon that could train Kizu. TELL AMI! Fine I'll tell her. Satisfied? YES. THE INNER DEMON IS PLEASED.

Ami was thinking about this mysterious Rika person she heard about. After breakfast Kizu went to take Umaye out for a ride and groom her fur. Rin remembered it was winter and skipped outside to make a snow man for her Ooka-san.

"Ami, I need to tell you something about Rika." Sesshomaru says. "What is it?" "She is my younger half sister. My annoying, crossbreed half sister." Sesshomaru states.

"I see. She can't be that annoying. Can she?" Ami asks. "She can if she tries." Sesshomaru states. "Where is she now?" Ami asks. "She is up at Mount Hakurei." "Isn't that mountain protected by a barrier?" Ami asks. "Not anymore. A pathetic half demon named Naraku once lived there. Now he is gone and so is the barrier." Sesshomaru explains. "Why is she all the way up at Mount Hakurei?" Ami was very curious about Seshomaru's little sister having just found out he had a little sister at all. "She goes there to meditate every winter."

"It is very cold here in the Western Lands. It must be freezing up at Mount Hakurei." Ami says. "She enjoys the cold." Sesshomaru states. "As do I." Ami says. She sounds like me. YOU SHOULD GET ALONG GOOD THEN. If I have to live with her I suppose I will have to learn to stand her if I don't. Ami thinks. They here a knock at their bedroom door. "Come in." Ami says.

Kizu and Rin walk in the room, each holding a gift for Ami. "Ooka-san! Rin has a present for you!" Rin squeals. Ami's, Kizu's, and Sesshomaru's ears slightly rang from her squeal. "I do as well Ooka-san." Kizu stated trying to stop his ears from ringing.

Kizu stepped forward and gave Ami a piece of jewel Umaye had found while they were flying this morning. "Kizu, this is lovely. I'll cherish it." Ami says staring at the piece of jewel that Kizu had found. "Rin's present is outside." Ami, Sesshomaru, and Kizu followed Rin outside. "Here it is Ooka-san. Isn't Rin's present pretty?" Rin asks enthusiastically. "Yes, Rin. It is the best snowman I have ever seen." Rin's smile grew larger as she gave Ami a bear hug. Ami hugged her back and Sesshomaru said,"Rin, Kizu, It is time for you to go to sleep." "Yes Outa-san." Rin said as she was walking toward the castle. "I do not need sleep." says Kizu."Do you dare to question this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru says. He scares me when he talks quietly like that. lISTEN TO HIM. I am not tired. Kizu just listen to Sesshomaru. I am not tired. Kizu go to sleep now! YEAH! WHAT UMAYE SAID. If I go to sleep will you both shut up? YES. Yes. After his mental conversation Kizu decided to obey Sesshomaru and go to sleep. "We will get Rika tomorrow." Sesshomaru said after Kizu entered the castle.

When Ami turned to go to the castle Sesshomaru took her hand. She stopped and turned to face him. "You have not yet recieved my present." Sesshomaru told her. "What is your present?" Ami asked. "This is my present." Sesshomaru said. He took a frozen, pink chrry blossom out of his kimono and placed it Ami's hand. "It's...It's beautiful. I love it." Ami said. She wrapped Sesshomaru in a hug and gave him a kiss. He closed his eyes kissed her back. "You should get some rest." Sesshomaru said to Ami as they entered their room. "Yes. I do need rest. You need rest too Sesshomaru. Even you need to sleep once in a while." Ami responds. "I suppose you are right. I could use some sleep." Sesshomaru agrees. He lays down and wraps his arm around Ami causing his sensitve nose to pick up her scent. She smells wonderful. Sesshomaru thinks and inwardly smiles as they both drift off into a peaceful slumber.
