Aki dodged Sesshomaru's furious attempts to get the egg from her, each time he was getting a little bit closer, and then she'd start to move faster, but then he would as well, so she was in a no win situation, unless she gave up the egg, which she wasn't going to, suddenly she blushed and looked down.

Sesshomaru looked at where his hand had landed and his eyes widened, he didn't think that Aki's would be that big, she was the biggest tom-boy he had ever known. Sesshomaru blushed and quickly took his hand away.

"Um...er...uh...sorry..." Sesshomaru said uncomfortably with the blush appearent on his cheeks.

"Uh...it's ok." Aki said, she was just as uncomfortable as he was, probably more considering she just got groped, by Sesshomaru no less. What she didn't mean to notice was his hands fit her perfectly. "Well...uh...I'm going to um...find something somewhere ELSE to do." Aki said as she quickly left the room.

"They're so soft." Sesshomaru muttered aloud without meaning to, his blush deepened and he went off to find himself something to do to get his mind off of what he was thinking about, it wasn't very good thoughts. Sesshomaru walked down the hall to the door.

"Where ya going?" Takara asked.

"Out." Sesshomaru answered in a monotone, all evidence of what happened just a few minutes before was gone.

"Aki disappeared with Mizuki some where, do you know where?" Takara asked.

"No." Sesshomaru answered, he walked out the door and to the gym located just down the street. When he got there he noticed that Aki was there, in shorts and a tank top, beating the crap out of a punching bag, Mizuki was also there with her, she was hitting it back to Aki. Suddenly Aki stiffened, she didn't see the punching bag coming at her, it hit her square in the chest and sent her flying into Sesshomaru.

"Aki! Sesshomaru! Are you alright?" Mizuki asked as she ran over. Sesshomaru's hand was on the inside of Aki's leg, Sesshomaru was out of it and Aki was nursing a bump on the head.

"Owwww...Yeah I'm fine...but I don't know about him." Aki said as she took his hand from the inside of her leg. "I'll take him back, I'll send Hiei to train you." Aki added, she lifted Sesshomaru up and put one of his arms around her neck to support him without drawing attention.

"Alright, tell Hiei to go easy on me, I'm not as good as he is with hand-to-hand." Mizuki said, Aki nodded and walked off to Kurama's house.

"You idiot, why did you have to come there?" Aki asked. His scent has given him away, he smelled like no one else, and she didn't like to admit it but she liked it. Qucikly she banished the thoughts from her head and walked to Kurama's. She kicked open the door, since she had no hands to open it with.

"What happened?" Takara asked.

"I smelled him and didn't see the punching bag coming at me, so I was thrown into him." Aki answered, then she searched Hiei out with her mind. Shrimp, go train Mizuki. Aki said.

Hn. Was Hiei's reply, Aki rolled her eyes and dragged Sesshomaru to Kurama's bedroom. Sesshomaru opened his eyes as Aki was about to leave, he caught her arm and looked at her.

"Let. Go." Aki said in an annoyed tone.

"No."

"Now." Aki added.

"No."

"Do it anyways."

"No." Aki yanked her hand away and glared at Sesshomaru. His eyes were empty, Aki wished she could do that, but she knew she couldn't.

"Ho-How would you like to see where I grew up?" Aki asked uncertainly. Sesshomaru blinked, Aki was stuttering.

"Yes."

"Don't let go." Aki muttered, she released the curse and used an attack that had been used on her before, then she invisioned the place where she grew up. In the blink of an eye they were there, where she had grown up, watched people die all around her, her brother tortured her, she had almost died several times, all the memories came flooding back, Sesshomaru didn't see the agony she was in.

"It looks like a nice place to grow up." Sesshomaru commented, Aki said nothing. All of the memories flooded back, with tears streaming down her face from the pain she started to walk to the woods, maybe they could provide some shelter from the memories. Sesshomaru noticed that Aki was staggering towards the woods. "Aki, where are you going?" Sesshomaru asked, masking the concern in his voice.

"To...the...woods." Aki managed, she stopped walking and put a hand to her head and fell to her knees, more memories flooded into her head, the pain was growing to great, Aki screamed, her head was still filling with long forgotten memories. Before he knew what he was doing Sesshomaru ran over to her. "Get...away...from me." Aki managed, while dealing with the pain from the memories, she was desperatly trying to hold the curse in, which was a very difficult task.

"No. I'm not going to leave you." Sesshomaru said, cuts in Aki's face appeared and blood raced down her face to her mouth, Aki tasted her blood in her mouth.

"Dammit! Leave!" Aki growled at him, her eyes slitting and glowing at the same time, the curse craved blood, any blood, his blood, it was either going to get it or it was going to kill her. Suddenly Sesshomaru kissed her. Aki's eyes widened, then she closed them and kissed him back, for now there was only one thing in the world that she cared about, that was him.

Sesshomaru tasted Aki's blood mixed with her tears, he didn't like to see her hurt, and this was the only way that he could think of to make her better, for now at least it was working, and that's all that mattered to him. They parted and Aki looked into Sesshomaru's eyes.

"I love you, Sesshomaru." she whispered and then was out, she was exhausted from fighting the curse and taking in all the memories she had long forgotten.

"I love you to Aki." Sesshomaru said as he stroked her hair, looking lovingly at her calm face, the face that he had come to love and to adore, even if he hadn't wanted to admit it, until now. After about an hour Aki woke up and she noticed her head was in Sesshomaru's lap. "You're finally up." Sesshomaru said.

"Aye, with a throbing headache I might add." Aki muttered. Sesshomaru smirked, then Aki stood and stretched, she had no idea if Sesshomaru had heard her, but she wasn't going to ask and find out, that was the hardest thing she had ever done, and she didn't want to do it again. Suddenly Sesshomaru came up behind her and hugged her. Aki blushed, but didn't object, he rested his head on her shoulder. "I think we should get back, I'm sure that Takara and the others must have felt that energy surge that the curse would have created, besides, I've gotta get outta these clothes." Aki added, Sesshomaru looked at them, they were torn and dirty.

"Yeah, you might wanna, you're revealing a bit too much." Aki looked at her clothes, he was right. Aki blushed deeper and stole his boa to wrap around herself.

"Why were you looking?" Aki asked.

"It's kinda hard when you're such an attractive person." Sesshomaru answered, Aki blushed even deeper, which she didn't think was possible.

"Will you stop making me blush?" Aki growled.

"Nope."

"Do it anyway!" Aki tackled Sesshomaru to the ground, then he rolled over on top of her and smiled evilly. "What're you doing?" she asked, then Sesshomaru started tickling her. "Ah! Ah! Stop! It tickles! STOP!" Aki yelped while laughing.

"Make me."

"Ahahahahahaa! F-F-ine!" Aki said through her laughing fits. Aki got her legs up underneath him and she pushed him away from her and took this chance to escape.

"Hey! Come back here!" Sesshomaru yelled after her.

"No way!" Aki yelled back, she ducked into the ruins of the castle that used to stand there for her tribe. Sesshomaru didn't know his way around here so she had the advantage. Then Aki noticed something that was engraved into the wall, it was something she had seen before. She brushed the dirt off it and then looked at it. Then she knew where she had seen it before, it was the sign of her tribe, well at least the main tribe of the Cursed Dog Demons.

"What're you looking at?" Sesshomaru asked.

"There's the sign of the main tribe, this is the only place in these ruins where you can find it like this, it's all supposed to be warn away, I have a tattoo of it, well it's more like my birthmark." Aki explained, she brushed more dirt off it, then she pressed her wrist to it. Something underneath them rumbled, Aki looked down and jumped back, dragging Sesshomaru with her. They both looked down and stairs started to form.

"That's interesting, even my castle doesn't have this."

"Looks like this one's better." Aki said with a smile, she started to walk down the stair well, she wanted to know what was down there, it was like something was calling to her. "Well c'mon. Let's do a little exploring." Aki said as she disappeared into the darkness of the stairs, Sesshomaru followed. This place seemed to make him want to turn around and never come back, he knew that Aki was drawn to it because this is where her tribe was the strongest. Soon they were underground Aki didn't notice it but there was a shield that she had walked through that didn't let Sesshomaru through.

"Aki." Sesshomaru said, Aki turned around. "There's a shield that I can't get through, I think we should go back." Sesshomaru said.

"In a few, I want to see what's up ahead." Aki said as she walked on, Sesshomaru growled to himself, he had a bad feeling about what was up a head. Soon Aki entered a large dome chamber, there was a necklace on an alter, she looked at it, her curiousity growing.

"Ah, so it's the last of this tribe is it?" A male voice asked from behind. Aki whirled around and came face to face with her father, well it was at least his spirit. "I know what you're thinking, I'm not your father, I'm your grandfather."

"Oh." Aki said.

"Your father would have turned out to be a great person, but then he used his curse, and it consumed him, your mother was the same way. They both used their's for love, you have as well, what I don't understand is why it has not consumed you."

"I have friends who care for me, and they wont let anything happen to me, especially Sesshomaru." Aki explained. Her grandfather smiled kindly.

"He loves you as you love him then."

"Yes." Aki said.

"Take the necklace, it's yours, it will help you find a way to break the curse. Once you take it from the alter I will finally be set free."

"What do you mean?"
"I'm the guardian of the necklace, since you are of my blood, I'm entrusting it to you to keep it safe. It was the only thing that bound me to this place, once you take it, I will be free to move on."

"Oh."

"Don't be sad, child. Wait, what is your name?"

"Aki."

"Don't be sad, Aki. It will be better, this way, even if someone could get through the shield back there I wouldn't have been able to protect the necklace. Take it."

"Alright." Aki walked over to the alter and took the necklace off.

"Good Bye Aki." Aki smiled and walked back the way she had come, as she did she put the necklace around her neck so she wouldn't loose it, Sesshomaru was in the same spot as she left him.

"What took you so long?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Let's just say I had a little family reunion. Now let's go back." Aki said as she took his hand, together they left the ruins and went back to Kurama's house.
