That last chapter was pretty long, sweet! I was worried that my chapters were going to be too short. Remember to review!

Chapter 5

The sky was clear and the air was warm as Sesshomaru made his way to his brothers village. "Lord Sesshomaru, is Lady Kagome going to teach me some of that arith-mat-ic?" Rin asked trying to sound out the word. She was 18 years old now but the word still troubled her. She had grown beautifully over the years and even had some suitors. Her education was started late thanks to the war with Naraku, but Sesshomaru being her father figure, wanted her to have the best education so twice every month he brought her to see Kagome. "I do not know, Rin. Perhaps." He responded as they neared Kagome's hut. As he came to the door he stopped suddenly. That feeling, it had grown tremendously just now. 'She's here. I can feel it.' He thought to himself. He had never been privy to the idea of soul-mates, considering it was very rare for demons to have them, and even more so for humans, but Goshinki had explicitly told him that he was to have one and so far he had not been wrong about anything. He had the feelings of being pulled and called by an unforeseen force and he had resigned to the fact that he was to have one. Pulling back the flap he entered the hut where Inuyasha and Kagome were eating their breakfast. "Oh hey! You're here early. Would you like some breakfast?" Kagome asked standing. "Rin will eat, you have another guest with you?" Sesshomaru asked her startling her with the question. "Oh yeah, that's a long story. She's in that room to your left asleep. She was really stressed out from certain events and I guess she was really tired." Kagome said pointing to the room Mollye was sleeping in. "Wait, hey, don't go in there she's still asleep!" She hissed as Sesshomaru pulled back the flap and walked into Mollye's room not heeding her request. When he walked in the feeling hit him full force as well as another feeling. This woman, she had a powerful aura!

Walking closer Sesshomaru noticed that her back was turned to him. He almost gasped as she turned over to him with a sigh. She was very beautiful and...human. He had not expected that. But how was it that this human had so much power? He would have to ask his brothers mate. Not only was she beautiful but she was the most adorable creature he had ever laid eyes on. He noticed that the right shoulder of her Yukata had slipped down and he growled low in his throat. He had just seen her and she was already affecting him. This was so unusual for him. He looked at her more closely and noticed that she had short hair for a woman and that it was an odd color that he hadn't seen on a human before. She also had a piece of metal in her nose. 'How strange.' He thought to himself as he felt a hand on his arm. "You're going to wake her. I'll tell you everything you want to know. Come on." Kagome whispered as he followed her out of the room.

"So, she is a miko? Yes, I felt her power. It is indeed great. And you say that she a part of a prophecy? I have heard of this prophecy but I never believed it to be true." Sesshomaru stated while he sat in front of Kagome and Inuyasha. Rin was outside busily picking flowers so that they could talk. "We're going to see today if the prophecy is true. We need to test her and see if she does indeed have powers that great. She's very confused because she already knows who we are. She also has really bad anxiety so she get's nervous easily." Kagome commented taking a sip of her tea. "How is it that she already knows of this Sesshomaru? That is not possible. But if she is indeed the prophecy, then I will teach her what she needs to know. The fact that she wishes to use a sword is admirable. Not many women, if any, wish to use such a weapon." He stated. Kagome spent the next half hour telling him where Mollye came from and anything else he needed to know.

Mollye awoke after the best sleep in her life! She really did enjoy sleeping on floor futons. Sitting up she sighed and rubbed her eyes when she heard voices outside. Putting on her glasses and straightening her hair she looked behind her and noticed a small mirror on a shelf. Getting up she walked over to it and picked it up. She was thankful that her face stopped breaking out and was clearer half a year ago. Now she didn't need to use makeup anymore which made her extremely happy. Straightening her clothes she walked towards the flap door and walked out and noticed no one in the living room, or what she assumed to be the living room. She turned towards the door when she heard voices outside. Walking to the flap door she stepped out and gasped. Golden eyes looked to her and she swallowed hard, face going aflame. He was actually...but...now she really DID believe she was dreaming. The only one who she ever dreamed about. The one man, well demon, who was the cause of her non existent dating life. "Sesshomaru." She whispered. "Yes, it seems that you do know who this Sesshomaru is. I presume that you are Mollye, or should I call you Miko Mollye?" Sesshomaru asked smirking as he stepped forward. "O-Oh, I mean, it doesn't matter. You're...you really are real." Mollye said stuttering. It wasn't really a question, rather she was trying to convince herself. "Indeed I am. Do you doubt this Sesshomaru's existence?" He asked quirking an eyebrow. "No I would never do such a thing." Mollye answered him face going redder. "I do have to say, it is nice to finally meet a human who is the equivalent of myself when it comes to power. Do you understand how much power you possess, Miko?" Sesshomaru asked her sensing her powers better now that she was awake. He noticed that she wore weird...contraptions across her eyes and that she had a hoop in her nose. He also noticed that her eyes were the color of the ocean which was not known among humans here. It did not matter though because he found her extremely beautiful and with her awake and standing in front of him she was even more appealing. "You can sense my power?" Mollye asked astounded that he had compared her to him. "Indeed I can. You have an abundance of power. I would very much like to see just how much." He stated to her. "Aye, well then how about we test that theory now?" Kayede asked as she approached them.

Mollye sat cross legged as Kayede sat in front of her and the others sat behind her watching. Mollye adjusted her Yukata so that she was covered decently while she was seated. "Okay child, I want ye to place both of your hand palm up on your knees and close your eyes." Kayede instructed her as Mollye did what she asked. "Now, I want you to feel deep inside of you. I want you to grasp what is there with your mind. It should feel different, warm almost." Kayede continued and stopped when Mollye gasped. "You have found it I see. Don't let go of it. I want you now to spread that feeling all through out your body. Send it to every limb and to every pore with your mind." She stated watching her intently. Mollye could feel the tingling sensation all over her body. It was in her bones, her blood, along her skin. She felt...powerful. She had never felt anything like it before. "Now, I want you to open your eyes and see for yourself just what you are capable of." Kayede commented. Mollye opened her eyes and everyone, despite Sesshomaru who stared with wide eyes, gasped upon seeing her. Looking down at herself she noticed that she was glowing pink. Not only that but in the center of her palms were two very big pink orbs of light. "I-I...but how is this possible?" Mollye asked stuttering. Little known to her, her eyes were also shining pink which had everyone's attention. "You are the prophecy, Miko. You are the one who is to destroy Karma. It is you destiny." Sesshomaru stated answering her question. "Very good child. Now I want you to close your eyes. It seems you have no problem summoning your powers. Try to let your powers recede back into you where they came from. Keep focusing on it until you can feel it gone from the outside of your body." Kayede said smiling at how far she had come in just so little time. Mollye did as she was told and then opened her eyes smiling brightly. "Does this make you happy, child? Do you believe in yourself now, that you are the one?" Kayede asked her. "Yes, I believe now. You know, for someone who generally believes anything that's "far fetched", I sure had a hard time believing that I could some how be part of something greater. I feels good to know that my life isn't so boring. This makes me extremely happy." She stated grinning.

As everyone went back to what they were doing, Kagome pulled Mollye to the side. "I'm going to get your stuff. You wait out here. We're going to have some girl time and take a bath in the hot spring!" She exclaimed happily. "Oh great! I've always wanted to try a hot spring." Mollye stated smiling as Kagome ran inside to grab their stuff. Turning back around she noticed Sesshomaru standing about a foot away from her. "Miko, you did an excellent job today. When I mentioned that your power was equivalent to my own, I was speaking the truth. I am the strongest demon, that I know of, and it seems that you are the strongest human." He stated giving her a small smile. "I'm really not that strong. I have a lot of power it seems, but i'm really not all that strong." Mollye stated lowering her head to look at the ground in embarrassment. "Then I will teach you how to become stronger. I will happily train you in hand to hand combat as well as how to wield a sword." Sesshomaru stated lifting her chin with his right hand to look at him. "Trust this Sesshomaru. You will powerful once I am finished with you."
