Chapter 6 - Darts -
It had been almost three days since Ami had rejoined Sesshoumaru. Nothing had changed, except, as they walked Ami would pick berries, nuts, and wild fruit out of bushes and trees. And when they stopped to bead down she would eat half of what she had collected, then ate the rest in the morning before they moved on.
It finally hit Sesshoumaru. She was human and humans, unlike himself and other demons, had to eat every day. Now he understood, why she had gotten so weak. She hadn't eaten anything! He felt ashamed; though again it was something he would never admit or show. He never did.
They sat under a pair of trees as the sun set one day and Ami turned toward him.
"Sesshoumaru?"
"Yes."
"Where are we going anyway?"
He didn't answer for a moment.
"To see an acquaintance about your. .. problem."
"An acquaintance?"
"Yes."
"Oh , ok."
They sat in silence for what seemed like ages. He closed his mind and cleared his mind. Leanings against his tree he slowly settled down into a sitting position.
"You take first watch."
Ami nodded. As she leaned there against her own tree, she listened to the vanishing noises of the day creatures as the sunset. There was always this period of almost complete silence as the sun went down. All the animals that were most active during the day where going back to there dens or nests, but it would be another hour before any of the nocturnal animals reared there heads from there hiding places.
So she listened to the slow, even breathing of her sleeping partner. She sighed quietly. As much a she didn't want to admit it, she was enjoying this excursion. And secretly she wished it would never end.
Her normal life was as boring a predictable as a mush romance novel, though hardly ever romantic. They all have the same story line, and the same ending. All kissing and saving the princess, followed by more kissing.
Of course, she wouldn't have minded being kissed. Even though she had a boyfriend he hardly ever kissed her, but that was mostly her family's fault. They seemed to so show up on every date with a video camera. There were a few people she wouldn't mind kissing in front of an audience though.
She looked over to Sesshoumaru.
"Wish I could kiss you." She whispered.
Even when she had only been able to read the pictures of her manga, Sesshoumaru had always been her favorite for many reasons. But she didn't have time to dwell on that. Sesshoumaru suddenly sat bolt upright as a small object came wising threw the air. He, even as fast as he was, didn't have the time to get out of the way.
The small dart hit him square in the neck. He howled in furry and was on his feet in an instant and he was growling fiercely with rage. His eyes turned a bloody red.
'He's going to transform!' her thoughts seemed to scream at her.
His shoulders started shaking when another dart came flying at him from the bushes and hit him in the neck again.
His rage was built now, but his legs started to shake and his eyes slowly drooped. He fell to his knees and not a moment later, on his face. He lay unconscious in the grass.
"Got Him!" A voice sounded for the right of Sesshoumaru.
She stood frozen. She was standing in the last shadows of the day to her comrades left. Obviously the intruder hadn't seen her. She wanted to keep it that way so she dint move, for now.
A human boy stepped out from the undergrowth. He wore shoulder armor and camouflage but Ami could tell he was about her age.
"Ok, you stinking dog demon! I swore to destroy you and now her comes my vengeance!"
He pulled out a long sword. It was rusted slightly around he hilt so it made a grainy sound as he drew it. He raised it and swung downward. But instead of hitting the unconscious demons exposed neck the sound of clashing metal rang though the still air as the sun disappeared over the western mountains.
"Nani?!" The boy's eyes widened as he looked down at the girl who kneeled over the felled demon lord. Glaring at him with fiery eyes, holding back his attack with an over sized knife.
She pushed his sword till it was parallel with the ground, then with a quick movement forward she threw him back.
The attackers sword landed a yard behind him as he sat there with an astonished expression on his face. He stared into the eyes of the girl who protected the unconscious demon. He couldn't break eye contact with her for some reason. Her dark brown eyes held his own jet ones and wouldn't let him go.
Finally Ami broke the eye contact, and backed up so that Sesshoumaru was behind her, not in front.
She pulled the poison pins out of his neck. The tops of which were shining red with Sesshoumaru's blood. She threw them aside.
Rolling over her companion, she pressed an ear to his chest and heard his heart sill beating beneath it.
"Sesshoumaru!" she shook his shoulders.
"NO! DON'T DO THAT!" the assassin yelled from where she'd pushed him. "He'll wake up!"
"That's the point you idiot!"
He was taken aback. This girl actually wanted to save this murderer?!
"I should kill you." Ami growled at him.
"What?"
"I should kill you, you fucking, fatherless pig!"
"Why, What did I do wrong."
"This!" She motioned toward Sesshoumaru then threw a twig at the boy in mock fashion of his darts.
"He's a demon why should you care!?"
"Because he's my demon you moron!"
Sesshoumaru mooned quietly and tilted his head. He was fighting his way back to consciousness. Ami turned to him again and continued calling him until his eyes fluttered open. Sesshoumaru lay there for a second as his eyes slowly unclouded from the unnatural sleep. He then sat bolt upright, his eyes blood red in annoyance and anger. He growled deeply as he made his way to his feet until he stood on his shaky half asleep legs.
"I'll kill you!" He roared and began to leap forward when something yanked on his hair.
He growled, as her turned in his rage to find Ami sitting cross-legged on the ground holding a large wad of his silky white mane.
"What are you doing. Let go of me." His eyes reverted back to there normal color.
Ami, while resisting the urge to say "SIT" like Kagome, yanked on his hair again.
"Leave him Sesshy, he's mine."
The attacker still hadn't moved, but he was growing more and more flabbergasted every moment.
This woman had the audacity to pull on the demon lord's hair, call him pet names, and order him around!
Ami stood and walked forward. Letting Sesshoumarus hair slowly glide out of her hand like water.
"All right!" She questioned firmly. "Explain!"
~*~*~*~*~*
W_W - short I know but its good right?
Sesshy - why do I have to get hurt, no dart would ever hit me!
W_W - oh really?
Sesshy- *gulp *
W_W - give us a review!
Sesshy - Ja Ne!
W_W - I apologize for any spelling errors on my part. I assure you they are not intentional.
