Kiki watching the fire that was set by Jaken as it danced with the wind. She had been traveling with Sesshomaru for a week now. She had gotten use to living on fish and sleeping on the cold hard ground, she even got use to wearing the strange kimono Shekelly made for her. The kimono was not a normal one it was made from demon moon dust which kept whoever wore it safe just like normal armor, the bottom part of the kimono was made into shorts since Shekelly had studied the kind of bottoms Kiki liked to wear she made it extra special for Kiki. The top part was that of a normal kimono Kiki, however only wore the right side of it on and let the left side hang down showing off the arm cover Stara had gave her which looped around the middle of her back and showed off her belly and end just about her shoulder. The arm cover was made from dead demon snake skin it was tough and hard to break it was something useful for battle, and with just a small push of her middle finger scales would shoot from it harming any human, or demon with deadly poison. The kimono was a light grayish color with purple stars and large dark moon crest on the back of it to finish it off it had a small tie that tied on the side of it the belt of it was black. Kiki wore long stockings she brought from her own time that went abit passed her knees that were black, but see through. She wore sandals that were gray, but had purple ties that went up all the way to Kiki's lower legs. She did indeed now look like the daughter of Luna and the guardian of the Western Lands.
"Kiki, are you okay?" Asked Rin who was holding a fish out for Kiki to eat. Kiki looked at Rin, and smiled abit. "I'm fine." Kiki said taking the fish to eat it.
Sesshomaru and Jaken had been gone for almost a day and left Kiki to care for Rin until they came back. Kiki ate the fish as Rin was running around playing tag with Cody. Kiki had heard something as she looked to the left of her, and wondered what that noise was.
"Rin, stay still." Kiki said. Rin blinked as she did what she was told. Cody smelled the air as he growled not liking the scent he was picking up.
"Come out now!" Kiki ordered as she pulled Moon Sega to her. That is when a shadow like figure came and jumped in front of Kiki. Kiki put the left blade of Moon Sega to the shadow's throat, "State your business." Kiki said. The shadow looked at her, and when it stepped into the light a tall dark blue hair demon with pointed ears, and a scar on his right cheek could be seen.
"You are Luna's daughter no?" The demon asked.
"What if I am?" Kiki said.
"My name is Aona I'm servant to the Lord of the Eastern Lands." Aona spoke. Kiki looked at him as she felt Rin cling to her Kimono sleeve. Cody stood in front of both Kiki and Rin growling at the demon to get lost.
"What do you want here?" Kiki asked.
"I was ordered to bring you back with me. The Lord's daughter Yumi would like to have a word with you." Aona said.
Kiki put Moon Sega up she looked at Aona. "My name is Kiki, I'm afraid I can't leave Lord Sesshomaru has not come back yet, and I'm not tilted to leave until he returns." Kiki said to Aona as she turned her back to him. She took Rin's hand and started to walk back to the fire to keep her warm. Aona jumped in front of her again.
"I'm afraid Lady Kiki you are in no tilted to say no either." Aona said pulling a blade from his side. That is when a green flash came in front of Aona knocking him off his feet. Kiki had grabbed Rin jumping out of the way. When the smoke clear Kiki looked to see Sesshomaru holding out his sword with Jaken beside him.
"You have some nerve you stupid neko for trying to order around what belongs to Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken shouted at Aona.
"What belongs to Lord Sesshomaru?" Kiki thought to herself when she looked at Jaken, that is when she saw Aona try to make a break for it, but she put the same blade she pulled out on him before, but this time by his private parts. "Need to ask yourself do you feel that lucky." Kiki said. "Rin are you okay?" Kiki asked looking back at her.
"Yes, I'm fine now Kiki." Rin said running over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru walked over to were Kiki was. "What is the meaning of this?" Sesshomaru asked.
"He said that his princess called Yumi wanted to see me. I guess she wants to talk or something." Kiki answered Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru glared at Aona who tried to move, but Sesshomaru pointed his sword at Aona's neck now. "I was asking this fool." Sesshomaru said looking down at Aona.
"Princess Yumi heard of Luna's daughter was back and wanted to talk with her. She became jealous when she heard that her future mate and making a pack with Luna's daughter, before her." Aona said now shaking. Kiki pulled her blade back and looked at Sesshomaru as if saying what is he talking about.
"Future Mate? How dare you say that Yumi is Sesshomaru's mate." Jaken said. Sesshomaru pulled his blade away from Aona's neck, as Kiki was still left in a confused state. She blinked watching Aona get up, as he bowed.
"I'm sorry Lord Sesshomaru, would you let Kiki come with me so Yumi may talk to her?" Aona asked. Kiki did not know what to think at this point she just waited for Sesshomaru to speak who was quiet as always. "I leave it up to you Kiki." Sesshomaru said walking off. Kiki nodded and looked at Aona. Sesshomaru watched as Kiki followed Aona to the palace were Yumi lived. Sesshomaru remember Yumi to well she and him were promised to each other when they were still pups, but as Sesshomaru got older he did not want such a fate to be married off to someone who was not pleasing to him. Sesshomaru watched until Kiki was out of sight.
"Mi'Lord are you really going to let Kiki go off alone?" Jaken said. "What makes you think she is alone Jaken?" Sesshomaru asked when he did Jaken saw Cody walking towards were Kiki had went to. "So Cody is going to follow. It seems only right since Cody does belong to Kiki." Jaken said. Cody stopped as he looked at Sesshomaru who was looking at him. Cody barked loudly as he went after Kiki. Sesshomaru just closed his eyes as he walked off to back what he was doing. "Did I miss something or did Cody and Sesshomaru just talk dog tongue. Wait for me Mi'Lord." Jaken said running to catch up. This time Rin followed them both hoping Kiki would not be to long.
When Kiki and Aona got to the castle she looked around to see thousands upon thousands of different flowers circling the palace. She stood their speechless, but it did not feel as beautiful or breath taking as Sesshomaru's palace. "This way Lady Kiki." Aona said leading Kiki inside the palace. Aona stopped when they got to the kitchen. "Please wait here. I will let Princess Yumi know you are here." Aona said. Kiki nodded and waited that is when she heard someone say wolf demon. She looked to see a big black figure run towards her knocking over maids and servants of the castle. That is when she smiled and whistled, Cody appeared as he wagged his tail and barked happily, "Foolish boy." Kiki said smiling rubbing behind his ears.
Aona came running in and saw half of the servants on their butts due to what Cody had just did. He looked to see Kiki petting him. "He is my dog and goes where I go." Kiki stated, Aona just nodded and moved his hand for Kiki to follow when she did she was lead to a small garden outside the palace. Kiki saw a young like dog demon with light blue hair. The demon looked at her the demon had pink eyes that studied Kiki. "You are the daughter of Luna." Spoke the demon. "Yes, I am. You are Princess Yumi." Kiki said. She nodded. "I have bought her here as you asked my Princess now I take my leave." Aona said. "Yes, you are done here for now Aona you may go." Yumi said softly. Aona nodded and left both girls alone. "Will, you please come with me Kiki." Yumi said as she started to walk. Kiki nodded as Cody followed. "I know you must be busy so I will get right to the point of why I wanted you here." Yumi said. "I would like that if you did not mind. I am busy traveling with Lord Sesshomaru and all." Kiki said not really caring for the aura she felt around Yumi or her palace. "Lord Sesshomaru and I were promised to each other at birth. However time has passed and he has never came to make me his mate. When I heard he had a female and a small child with him, I became jealous you can say." Yumi said.
Kiki just started to laugh out loud. Yumi looked at her and wondered why she was laughing. " Lady Yumi, the child that follows Lord Sesshomaru is called Rin she is a child that lost her family and now follows Lord Sesshomaru on her own free will just as Master Jaken does. Just like Cody and I do." Kiki said softly. It was weird before Kiki would have said it was because of her being the daughter to Luna, but no it was because she did not mind it now. Yumi felt shamed abit for thinking that Sesshomaru would be taken by this human girl. "I see now you only follow him due to the fact you are his servant as promised by your mother." Yumi said. That is when Kiki's smile went away, "Promise, or not I follow Lord Sesshomaru on my own will. Princess Yumi, since we are speaking of My Lord. I don't think he has any true feelings of being married to you. I think he still wishes to be single for the time being inless something were to change his mind." Kiki said.
Yumi just glared at her. "How dare you state Lord Sesshomaru is not pleased with me in anyway." Yumi shouted out in angry. "I did not say that Princess Yumi. I just stated that Lord Sesshomaru might not want to get married right away. He does have his lands to worry about since Shadto is back." Kiki said now just wanting to leave. "I think if we are done talking here Princess Yumi I will take my leave." Kiki said turning to walk away. Cody nodded his head with a dirty look on his face to Yumi as he followed Kiki. That is when guards blocked Kiki and Cody's path. Kiki sighed heavily, as she turned her head back to Yumi. "Princess Yumi please don't start something you are going to not be able to handle." Kiki said softly staring at her. "I always finish what I start." Yumi said holding out her hand for her guards to grab Kiki.
Kiki closed her eyes as she put Moon Sega blade first in the ground. She heard one of the guards run towards her as Cody got under him knocking the guard off his feet, as Kiki grabbed the arm of the guard, and through him over her shoulder sending him into the garden. Yumi blinked never in her life has she seen such strength from a female demon. Kiki looked back to Yumi this time with dark purple eyes. "Princess Yumi if you wish not to lose anymore guards I would adive you letting me and Cody pass this once. I do have My Lord waiting on him and when it comes to business he hates to be kept waiting." Kiki spoke with a firm voice. "If I can't travel with Lord Sesshomaru and be his mate no one will." Yumi said changing into her true form. "This is what I was hating. I'm not strong enough to take on Yumi in full form, but what choice to we got boy." Kiki said to Cody. Cody nodded, as he changed into his human form that looked like a full blood demon. "Time to let the blood flow." Cody said. "No, Cody we don't need anymore blood shed. Princess Yumi's heart is filled with jealous if we don't find a way to get to her heart. Shadto will find her and use it against her and us." Kiki said looking up at Yumi. "Yumi please listen you got to stop if not Shadto will sense your jealous please I beg you stop this or it will come to your death or ours." Kiki shouted.
-Meanwhile-
"What is taking that woman so long? She should be back by now." Jaken said getting annoyed since they had waited so long. "Master Jaken, please let Kiki and Cody be. If they are talking to royalty that means Kiki is became famous like Lord Sesshomaru is and InuYasha is." Rin said laughing. "You foolish girl you don't get it Yumi is promised to lord Sesshomaru, and any female dog demon that gets jealous of a another female will kill that female to protect what is theirs. Dogs are very protective over what is theirs, normal they wond up killing or scaring off any other dogs in the area." Jaken said. "So is that why Lord Sesshomaru is the only dog demon in the Western Lands besides his mother and half-brother." Rin said. "Yes, Rin that is right." Jaken said. Just then Rin saw Lord Sesshomaru behind Jaken, "How long where you there Mi'Lord?" Rin asked with a grin. Jaken turned around to bow to his lord. "Sorry, Lord Sesshomaru I did not hear you." Jaken said with his face first in the dirt. Sesshomaru did not pay Jaken any mind instead he was looking for two others that should have been there to greet him back. "Where is Kiki?" Sesshomaru asked Jaken coldly. "Remember my Lord is she still with Princess Yumi." Jaken said. "You let her be gone this long knowing what demon Yumi is." Sesshomaru stated. That is when it hit Jaken that Kiki could be infact worse trouble then before. "Did you not hear my orders Jaken that I gave you before I left?" Sesshomaru asked more annoyed then normal even if his face did not show it. "Ask me Mi'Lord?" Jaken asked blinking since he was confused.
"Don't you remember Master Jaken, Lord Sesshomaru said he wanted us all here when he got back. So that means he wanted to go get Kiki and Cody so we could leave these lands." Rin said knowing what her Lord meant. Jaken looked up at Sesshomaru who was glaring, but staring towards the palace of Yumi. "Jaken you are to stay here with Rin." Sesshomaru said leaving Rin and Jaken alone again.
-Back with Kiki-
A large paw came crashing on the ground as Yumi laughed since it was her paw, "That will destory you both." She growled. That is when she felt her paw thrown back when it went back she went back with it. Cody was blocking the path of the paw that almost killed Kiki. Kiki was now covered in poison drool thanks to Yumi's spit. Kiki whistle for Moon Sega it came flying towards her, as it did it gave off a soft glow. "Moon Sega hear my pray show me the heart of this jealous demon!" Kiki ordered as she did the light went to Yumi, however, something different happen the light hit off a barrier. "What? Wait, how did the light that Moon Sega gave off get blown back." Kiki thought. "Don't you know anything daughter of Luna, She was apart of the dog clan the same clan Sesshomaru and I come from. When I was a child Luna to marked me so none of her powers could ever work on me since my heart was almost like hers." Yumi said. With those words Kiki knew her Moon Sega was no longer useful to her in battle. "Your heart is clouded, but not enough for Moon Sega to step in, so that means in this fight I can't use her." Kiki said standing up. "You foolish human the poison will soon go through your body once it does you will be dead. There is only one female in Sesshomaru's life and that shall be me." Yumi growled.
Cody ran towards Yumi. "Time for you to sit girl." Cody said hitting Yumi in the back of the head, but to no effect instead Yumi used one of her three tails to grab on to Cody and throw him into the river. "Cody!" Kiki said running over to him. "I don't think so human. This fight is between us females." Yumi said. Kiki looked up at her, and glared. "Bring it Princess!" Kiki said, that is went Yumi ran towards Kiki leaving only dust in her path. Kiki was getting hit with every force Yumi could throw, Kiki blocked half of the attacked only to have both her arms bleeding. Kiki just throw her arms back to get the blood off of them, as waited for Yumi to attack again. As Kiki saw Yumi coming she jumped into the air, as saw the blue ball that belong to the infant she named Conaru. "Use it Kiki, it might not help you fight, but it will give some time for you to think of a new plan." Conaru spoke to her. Kiki took the ball, as it turned black with stars shooting around it. "Okay Princess Yumi you want to play hard ball let's do this." Kiki said taking the ball into her hands, and throwing into the air. "Shooting Stars!" Kiki shouted as she did millions of stars for miles around start to fall on Yumi and her palace. Yumi got down as the stars started to cut her she whimpered badly since it seemed these stars would not end. Kiki landed on the ground hard, as she could barely get up, but she felt Cody's wet nose as he was back in his wolf form, he through Kiki on his back, and started to make his way out of the garden.
"The stars were a tool to help us get out alive. Yumi is powerful but not smart enough." Kiki said holding on to Cody. When they both reached the outside of the gate to the palace Cody set Kiki down as they both looked back. Kiki sighed, and leaned back on the cold grass. Sweat was coming down her body, her arms covered in deep cuts and sores. She did not pay them any mind just the fact she had made it through her first full demon without Moon Sega ran through her mind. She knew now she had to get stronger she knew Cody would not always be there, nor Lord Sesshomaru. When Kiki though of Sesshomaru she felt something, or someone over her. She opened one eye to see a pair of golden eyes staring back at her coldly. "Lord Sesshomaru." Kiki said in surpise she got on one knee as she bowed. Cody nodded and bowed as well. "Mi'Lord why are you all the way out here?" Kiki asked keeping her gaze down. "Do I really need to answer that." Sesshomaru said. He saw Kiki's arms and knew it was her blood he had smelt, and when it looked over to Yumi's palace he saw Yumi with three other guards coming towards them.
"Kiki, you are to go back Rin is in need of your care." Sesshomaru spoke as he got in front of Kiki and Cody. "Rin, what as happen to her?" Kiki asked worried. "It is nothing serious she is just in need of your care, and tell Jaken to a dress your wounds once you are done with Rin. You are all to be ready when I come back. Cody stand watch with Ah-Uh until my return." Sesshomaru said looking towards Yumi and her guards. Kiki saw as she wondered was she wrong did Sesshomaru want to make Yumi's his mate. When those thoughts came to her mind, she felt her heart beat differently as she did Sesshomaru looked at her from the corner of his left eye. "Why are you still here? Do you forget who you serve now Kiki." Sesshomaru said. "No, Mi'Lord I know who I serve, I shall do as you ask." Kiki said jumping on Cody as they both took off.
-Sesshomaru's POV-
I heard the sound of her heart change as she kept looking at me. I gave her a order and I was going to make sure this time she listened. When I saw she was out of sight my right hand the inside of it started to glow. "I know I can feel her heart beat within my own chest." I said closing my hand as the glow started to fade. I looked up to see Yumi looking at me with love in her eyes, I however just glared at her. "Lord Sesshomaru it is good to see you again. What brings you here?" Yumi asked trying to knock off the real reason I had come. "I came when I smelt the blood of one of my servants that are traveling with me." I spoke firmly to her. She looked at me as her face changed. "You smelt their blood. I hope they are okay." Yumi said as she turned her head. "Oh they are I sent them off." I said to her as I smirk. She looked at me, and asked, "Since you are here Lord Sesshomaru have you come to make me your mate as well." She asked. I looked at her, "I have no mind in making you my mate Yumi, nor did I ever." I spoke turning my back to her. "You can't do that Sesshomaru we were promised at birth to each other, by our fathers you can't break their promise to one other, and you know that is the law." Yumi said putting her hands into fists. With that a green whip went across her guard knocking them down without their heads. That is when a hand came around Yumi's neck as a pair of red eyes looked into her pink eyes. "I will make this clear only once, I will not make you my mate. I could careless if our fathers made it a law by blood. It is also against the law to hurt the daughter of the pure demoness very to live. So you tell me Yumi who would hell have more right now." I said in angry. Yumi started to shake, and whimper in fear.
Was my hand went tighter around her neck, I felt someone put their warm hand on my arm that held up Yumi. I looked to see Kiki looking at me with those eyes that seemed to read me like a book since I hated most at times. "Lord Sesshomaru please….spare her life." She asked. "And why should I?" I asked her growling. " For the sake of the lands, and our parents." She said with that I felt her hand grab on to my right one that held the mark Luna had given me so many years ago. I felt her fingers go between my fingers, as I saw her body close to mine with her face buried in my chest close to my tail/boa my eyes widen only for a second as I shook it off. Looking down at her my attention no longer on Yumi, as I drop her taking in Kiki's warmth, and scent. Yumi landed hard on her back, but gaze was normal as I let Kiki's hand stay in my. I neither held her hand back, nor moved it from mine. Her forehead glew a light purple, as my hand glew a light blue.
-End Of His POV-
Kiki put her arm around Sesshomaru to keep him from killing Yumi. "Please no more blood shed Lord Sesshomaru." Kiki said holding on to him tightly. "Kiki.."Was all Sesshomaru said as his boa/tail came around her waist as they both started to take off in the air, when they did Kiki found herself laying on Sesshomaru's tail/boa as they flew through the air. Yumi just sat there watching them move out of sight. Kiki saw her hand was no longer in Sesshomaru's she looked at him, however, only silence came on them both.
