Chapter 3: Blood Related Trio, Part 2

The breezy wind drove by, washing everyone's hair to the side. Sesshomaru was the first to respond as he said, "We're leaving." He withdrew his sword, heading in the direction of the Phoenix Gate. Rin and Jaken ran to catch up, following in their masters footsteps. Sesshila on the other hand didn't follow; she was curious what the Phoenix Gate was but stood still watching the mutt Lord take his leave.

Inuyasha stood up and walked over to the group and started off in the direction that they were originally headed in. Kagome pulled on Inuyasha's ear, "Inuyasha! We can't just leave her here!"

"And why can't we? We don't know anything about her anyway."

"Well taking her wouldn't be such a bad idea either, who's with Kagome on this one?" Shippo protested.

Everyone but Inuyasha nodded as he groaned in annoyance. "Yo, Sesshila...if you're coming than hurry up will ya? "

Sesshila looked up at him confused, why would they want her to join? Nobody has ever asked me this? But then again...he is a half demon. Maybe I could learn more about other half demons if she accompanied him. Besides, I'm not in a hurry.

"Ok...well where are we going then?" and with that they were off to Kaede's village. Kagome and the rest of the group, except Inuyasha asking her questions.

"And then I was off on my own." Sesshila replied to Kagome's story question. Apparently she had no memories before the age of 13. Not even any of her mother and father or siblings if she had any. "Some images in my mind flash up every now and then...but when I try and think about it, my head hurts and I always end up blacking out."

"That's strange...although it sounds like someone has put a spell on your memories to the ages prior before the age of 13." Miroku said.

"That's strange...i don't know why anyone would block my memories though." Sesshila said, ears pressed down, head titled revealing a dark shadow across her face."

2 hours later...

The gang took a spot surrounded by tightly packed trees, making a fire and surrounded it with their chilly bodies. The moon was up and shining brighter this night than in the past few weeks. Sesshila sat on a tree branch, watching the crescent moon win the day over with its shiny glow of light.

Inuyasha was also looking at it from below, sitting on a log near Kagome. Earlier on Kagome said they were all going to a human/priestess' village, who seemed to not mind Inuyasha, the villagers paid little attention of him as well which was strange since the whole Kikyo incident 50 something years ago. Sango and Miroku happened to have kids left behind at her village; the only reason why they were out and about was because they were sent by the village to exterminate some monkey demons.

Sesshila yawned and jumped down from the tree, walking over to Inuyasha. "So...you're a half demon like me, correct?"

"Yeah, what of it?" he said in his normal tone.

"Nothing really, I'm just amazed to finally see another like me. It's been so long since I've seen one. And not to mention you're the same type of half demon like me. Dog hanyous." She gave a smile.

"Yeah well I guess you were born from a distant relative or something. Maybe another group of dog demons? The only people in my family were..." he paused looked down at his feet.

"I understand...well you're lucky. You can still remember them cant you? I have no memory...I've been all alone since I was 13. I woke up one night and there was nothing. Just some mouthy ruins and a burning scent which rendered my sense of smell...so I couldn't see or track down who had recently been there."

"It must be hard...well even if you're somewhat like me, don't expect any special treatment on you, ok?" he said frowning at her, hands behind his head, leaning against the tree.

"No worries, I'm a big girl so I think I can take care of myself!" Sesshila got up and walked over to the tree that she was at before and slouched down, letting her dreams take her.

'Father...Father! Where are you? Mommy? Mommy...Daddy I'm scared!' young Sesshila said, running around the meadow, looking for her parents. Sesshila only used mommy and daddy when she was either sugar coating something or when she was scared, otherwise she referred to them as father and mother. She had been looking for them for the last 15 minutes and was worrying her mind off. (Sesshila is 11) Sesshila ran through her home, and all of a sudden, a fire broke lose. Sesshila ran through the hallway, tripping. The roof of the building falling behind her, catching her leg. Being a half demon, she wasn't in the worse situation. Being a human would have been alot worse. Although at any second, the fullmoon would appear, and she would return human. Then she wouldn't be so lucky.

Sesshila coughed, trying to cover her mouth as sweat beads ran down her cheek and off her chin, evaporating into the floor boards. Sesshila struggled, knowing it was absolutely no good getting her leg out in the position it was in. Sesshila took a wiff of Smokey air before turning her body to teh left, towards her leg. Some of it had gone numb but not the bad issue. She began tugging at the wood and marble. With only 3 seconds into the tugging, her nails receeded into human nails, hair turning crow black. Blue crystal eyes took place of her golden ones. She realized then that her sense of smell, seeing, and hearing, were lessened. Her strength receeded too.

With no hope left, Sesshila sat their, tears rolling down her face. She knew that she was going to die. Her mommy and daddy were gone, seeing how they would not come when she had been looking for them. Sesshila began to pray, hoping that some miracle would come and rescue her as she began whimpering at her distress.

Coughing more and ending her many prayers, she began to feel dizzy. Her vision zooming in and out, becoming slowly all the hazly. At that second that she dropped, leaning on her arm, she heard a large "RAWRRR" and 4 yards ahead of her, a giant dog demon broke through. The crescent moon on his forehead, 2 markings on his cheeks. Sesshila finally began to feel happy. With a last effort she whispered and choked out, "Daddy..." And with that...everything else went black.

Sesshila flung herself up, sweat beads rolled down the sides of her face. Everyone looked at her confused. "Sesshila...are you ok? Did you have a bad dream?" everyone except Shippo, Sango, and Kirara were awake.

"Um...well I...I think...Sesshomaru's my father..." she said knowing that every dream shes had that she remembers was either a flashback or something close to what would happen soon. In this case, it was a flashback.
