I didn't know what to feel exactly, but my chest felt hard and heavy. It was like a shock, reminding me of Inuyasha's tragic past. I felt like an arrow was being shot right in the middle of my heart and my lips parted in disbelief. Rose petals surrounded the area, falling everywhere and landing in any place they could get to. Already, they were beginning to pile up on my lap and Ah-Uh, but I couldn't even brush those away. My body was frozen, witnessing the kiss between this mysterious beautiful woman and the man I had fallen in love with.

"Such sweet lips, Sesshoumaru." The woman breathed against his mouth. She smirked at him, lifting that pale arm only to place her hand upon his cheek. I could see her fingertips caressing those magenta stripes on his face.

"Such a foul mouth you have. A foul face and smell." He said bitterly, cracking his knuckles quickly. In an instant, blood sprayed from the woman's back and it took me awhile to interpret that Sesshoumaru had just thrust his poisoned fist through her abdomen. I let out a gasp and covered my mouth with my hands in horror. The demon with golden eyes only smirked faintly and the woman returned it.

"That's no way to treat a Lady, Lord Sesshoumaru." Her hands descended to his arm, wrapping those thin fingers around the muscle.

"Fool! Even you know that was nothing more than a mere scratch." Sesshoumaru hissed, forcing his arm back through the sudden wound and making the woman's hands to retreat from his arm. Blood covered his arm and he looked at it in pure disgust, while the female backed a few steps away. She covered the hole in her abdomen with her hands and sighed.

"Doesn't matter and you even ruined my kimono." The lass sighed again and turned her glorious eyes to the Lord. "We will meet again, Ruler of the Western Lands, and when I do, you'll beg to be mine." She let off a laughter through the wind as the rose petals surrounded her wounded body.

"Don't be ridiculous. By that time, I'll have your head." He threatened. The female giggled and placed her fingertips upon her lush lips. In one quick movement, she blew him a kiss just as her body and the petals disappeared into thin air.

I looked away the moment Sesshoumaru turned his attention to me and pretended as if I didn't see anything at all. Of course, I wasn't fooling anybody, but I desperately wanted to erase that memory from my head. My chest hurt, my face was red from embarrassment and anger, and I felt like disappearing just as that woman did. Thoughts came through my mind, horrid thoughts. I envisioned the two together, in the arms of one another, and sharing another kiss that wasn't one sided. Suddenly, I felt happy that Sesshoumaru had thrust his hand in her. Even I, myself, wanted to hurt her. These thoughts scared me and slowly, I finally turned my gaze over to the demon.

I was jealous.

I was jealous and angry. I wanted Sesshoumaru to be mine and only mine.

"You know her?" I said bitterly.

"Another one of Naraku's minions." He replied.

"She seemed rather comfortable."

"Misuzu-"

"-Let's go. I think we should head to the next village. One that isn't slaughtered or in the slight bit broken." I ordered, clinging onto the two headed dragon. I was readying myself for another journey and didn't dare look back at Sesshoumaru. "I really need a change of clothes and that hand of yours looks rather revolting." Sesshoumaru took a few strides ahead of me and then turned around to face his pet and myself. His face was once again unreadable and I was beginning to get real annoyed by his presence. At this rate, I didn't even know if he liked the kiss and something pulled at my conscious that he did. After all, a free kiss is a free kiss.

"Ah-Un." He spoke and looked at the green demon. It lifted both heads and awaited orders. "Take Misuzu to the nearest village, make sure she is safe." With that, he turned around and began to walk off. The demon below me readied itself to fly in the air just as bit of panic arose in my chest.

"Hey! Sesshoumaru, what are you doing?! You're not coming with?" I yelled after him, praying that Ah-Un wouldn't take off in mid question. Sesshoumaru stopped for a second and continued on. My anger was getting the best of me as I gripped the reins of Ah-Un. "Fine! Be that way! I didn't want to see your face anyway! Why don't you go after that girl and let her steal another fucking kiss!!!" I screamed just as Ah-Un floated off the earth and flew north in the sky. Sesshoumaru was out of my vision in a split second and I just heaved anger as we flew.

I hated it, this feeling eating away at my insides. I knew the kiss was just one sided, I also knew that Sesshoumaru hadn't kissed her back or even possessed such feelings. After all, she was another one of Naraku's offspring according to him, but I couldn't shake off that sense of anger and jealousy. It was the fact that he let her kiss him, he didn't even back away when her lips caressed his own. Just thinking back on it made my chest feel pain. I wanted to cry and weep out my sorrow. I felt like I was just a fool. I was getting so worked up over someone that didn't even belong to me.

"I'm so stupid." I muttered down to the scaly demon and tightened my grip on the reins. A lump formed in my throat and I prayed that the tears wouldn't come. Despite my yearning to be strong, a trickle slid down gently from my lids. Sesshoumaru didn't belong to me and I didn't belong to him. We had shared a few intimate moments a month ago, but even now, I'm not even sure what those times meant. What did he want? What is he looking for? What do I mean to him? I wanted to know everything. Another thought filled my head just as another drop descended from my sparkling eyes.

That demon woman was a better match for him than someone like me.

Despite the fact that she was apart of Naraku, she was still a demon and I fell back into another pit of sorrow as I thought how weak I was. I would only trouble him, always. I would never have powers like he did, I could never shove my fist through someone's abdomen so easily. I could never kill. In the end, I am a human and will always be a human. I will always be a useless being with a life that's held by a thin piece of string.

Ah-Un descended from the sky and slowed down as it matched parallel to the earth. Trees rushed by until their numbers decreased and finally the demon came to a complete stop at the edge of a new village. I looked beyond, but my vision was clouded over by the blur of tears. The demon below me showed no intention of kicking me off, so I just stayed where I was, letting myself fall into a fit of sobs.

"Is somebody there?" A male's voice interrupted the forest at last and I looked up immediately. "Ah, Maiden, are you alright?" The man came into view without time to spare and I was gazing at a well figured male. He had a kind smile, which was etched in worry, and eyes that matched. His hues were a chocolate brown, dark enough to be mysterious, yet light enough to bathe his company in sweetness. His hair was pulled back in a ponytail, the color of dark brown. It was almost identical to the color of my own and it took me awhile to realize that my face must have looked horrible from my tears.

"Oh..." I mumbled, lifting a hand and wiping away any remaining tears. My crying had ceased the moment he entered the scene, which I was thankful for. I quickly made myself presentable and looked at him again. "I'm sorry..."

"Do not worry, what is the matter?" He edged on, curious about my dilemma.

"It's nothing, really." I gave him the best smile I could manage and slid off the back of Ah-Un. The demon shifted a little, but I landed on the ground with ease. I could tell the man was taken aback, but I made sure the demon's rein's were held tightly in my grasp. "Don't worry, he won't hurt anybody."

"That's good. What is your name, Maiden?" He asked with a bright smile, as if to cheer me up.

"You can call me Misuzu."

"And you can call me, Jun." Jun looked behind him for a second and then turned his attention back to me. This time, he extended a hand, indicating he wanted me to grasp it. I pondered for a moment, feeling a bit awkward about his invitation and hesitated. "Come on, let me introduce you to the village of Luna."

"Village of Luna...?" I asked, taking my free hand and placing it on his own. He covered his palm over mine and begun to walk from where he came, as Ah-Un and I took place beside him.

"Legend has it that there once was a beautiful maiden here by the name of Luna. She was loved and admired by all, only to fall upon a tragic fate. She fell in love with a devil, which severed her bond with heaven. Their affair brought nothing but sorrow and finally, there was a threat from heaven that if she didn't sacrifice herself, her beloved would die as well as everyone around her. Fearing those she loved, Luna did as she was told and was brought up to heaven. Every once in awhile, this village would light up with the moon's glow, which is said to be Luna's message towards the devil that she was alright. Some say that the luminescence is actually a pathway made so that her lover could find her."

"How romantic."

"Indeed." He replied just as we stepped foot upon the very entrance of Luna's village. "Here we are, the village of Luna." Just like any other village, the place was surrounded with little cottages and burnt out bon fires. There were many bushes of flowers and weeds, which looked rather peaceful in addition to the place. There was a big pond filled with flowers and Lily Pads right in the center of the village. I let go of Ah-Un and Jun for a moment, trotting over to that large pond and kneeled down at the edge. My reflection rippled as many types of fish peeped their mouths above the surface for air and I couldn't help but poke my fingertip through the water.

"How cute..." I mumbled, standing erect again. Looking around, I spotted one thing different than the other average villages. Upon the roof of every cottage was a crescent shaped stone. "Say, what are the moons for?"

"It's an old superstition, really. It's bad luck to go against the tradition of moon sculpted stones, but if you have one on the roof of your home, than good luck and wishes will bless you."

"The village of Luna..." I breathed, looking around. Despite the legend of Luna, the only thing I could think about was Sesshoumaru. It was as if each crescent moon was giving me a sign, forcing me to think about him. I let out a sigh and turned back to Jun and Ah-Un. "I know it's not my position to ask, but is there a place I could stay here? I also could use some new clothes."

"Of course, you can stay at my cottage for as long as you need. I can also find you some fine garbs for you to wear." Jun smiled brightly and pointed towards a small cottage not far from where we were standing. I turned to Ah-un momentarily and smiled.

"I will call you if I need you." I told the demon and let it roam free in the forest. With that settled, I turned back to Jun and let him lead the way to his cottage. "Thank you so much for your hospitality."

"It's no problem at all and definitely my pleasure."

The story about Luna was made from the top of my head. However, if it relates to any other old myth stories, than credit goes to them.

More to come!
