Chapter six
The next morning when I awoke I dreaded even opening my eyes. Knowing I'd spend the week with Lord Sesshomaru acting as thought my mere presence were the bane of his existence. I'll try and stay down wind of him now I know it's my scent that's causing the problems.
I opened my eyes when I felt Rin stir at my side. Doing a scan of my surroundings I quickly located Lord Sesshomaru. He stood on the opposite side of the ring of rocks that had held last nights fire. He was fastening the straps on Ah-Uh's saddle and I could tell by the tension in his shoulders he could smell me.
I slowly got to my feet and saw his whole body tense. I froze, realising my movements had stirred up the smell even more, and he turned his head to look at me out of the corner of his eye.
Even at this angle I could see the slightly glazed look that meant I needed to back off.
But, for some reason I don't know, I decided I felt the need to test him. I took a step forward and I heard a low warning growl rumble off his chest. I wasn't the only one who heard it either, Rin, who had skipped off to wish Jaken a good morning, started toward me with a look of concern on her face but stopped when Jaken caught her wrist.
I took a another step forward this time the growl is accompanied by movement, he turned sharply to face me startling me into jumping back and throwing my hands up palms out. I looked at him eyes wide in fright.
"Do not test me Arishka for you will not like the consequences" He warned, his voice and amber eyes much colder then usual.
I nodded yes as I let out a shaky breath. For the first time since I'd met him, for a split second, I thought he might hurt me. As I watch Lord Sesshomaeru walk away, with Jaken following, I resolved that I would find a way to make in easier on him….a way that meant I could stay always.
I gave a start when I felt arms wrap around my waist and I looked down to see Rin looking up at me. I gave her a reassuring smile as I returned her hug. I could tell she was still worried but she said nothing as she took my hand and pulled me in the direction Lord Sesshomaru and Jaken went.
As we walked I made sure to stay well back, keeping four paces behind Ah-Uh; who was being lead by Rin. As I walked I kept eyes on the ground, I couldn't help feeling like a naughty child whose done something wrong. I was snapped out of myself pity when out nowhere a long tentacle wound itself around me from behind trapping my arms to my sides. I let out a high piecing scream before the tentacle tightened stealing the breath from my body.
But the scream had already alerted Lord Sesshomaru of the danger and I met his eyes for a second before the demon jerk me back though the forest. Wind blew my hair into my face but though the strands of auburn I could see Lord Sesshomaru running after me. Suddenly I was jerked up and at the same time Lord Sesshomaru jumped using his claws to slice through the tentacle holding me.
Air rushed in to my lungs as the severed tentacle fell away and I let out another scream as the ground rushed up to met me and everything went dark.
I slowly opened my eyes I was lying on my back and everything look fuzzy. I realised as everything came into focus that I must have been knocked out. Rin and Jaken were both kneeling by my head on my right and Lord Sesshomaru was standing on my right looking down at me. I gave a low grown as I raised a shaking hand to touch an aching spot on the side of my head.
It was wet and when I moved my hand it came away bloody. At my side Rin let out a gasp.
"I'm okay Rin" I said in a shaky voice before I slowly got to my feet, I stood swaying for a second before my legs collapsed under me. Strong arms caught me and I heard Jaken say "I think she needs a healer milord" as I slipped back into unconscious.
I was somewhere dark I couldn't even see the ground I was standing on. I turned looking all around me; looking for something, anything but the darking stretched forever.
"Arisha!" I turned at the sound of my name being called, out of the darkness two men walked toward me. They were obviously brothers, they both had the same bright orange eyes and white blonde hair though one was slightly taller then the other, and they were obviously demons.
They came to a stop before me and as I looked at them I felt that I should know them. The taller one, I also think he was older, smiled at me and said "You need to remember little sister"
I stared up at him before whispering "Remember what?"
The shorter one gave a soft laugh "Everything little one, everything" then he stepped forward and press a finger to my forehead.
I opened my eyes and whispered "I remember now".
