Chapter 15: Knowing is half the battle

I sat beside Sesshomaru as I starred at the moonlight sky. Rin had fallen asleep right next to me and Jaken had passed out the moment we had sat down. Ah-Un of course being his pillow as usual, and Ah-Un falling asleep just as fast as him.

I felt my smile grow when I turned to Sesshomaru to see him starring at me. He smirked back at me and I giggled.

"What?" He asked as I shook my head.

"No, tell me." He replied

"It's just…I've never felt so in love before. How the hell did you make me fall so deep?" I asked as he smirked

"I made you fall because I charmed you."

"Yeah right. You couldn't charm a stick…You didn't do anything…and I think that's the most interesting part."

"Why?"

"If you made me fall so deep…with nothing, than that must mean that either you have used special demon powers behind my back…or…"

"Or?"

"Or you just might be…the one I want to…"

"Want to what?"

I felt my eyes lock with his as he sat so close to me. I smiled at him as he put a hand to my cheek. Our lips connected and I began to think. Can it be that at such a young age…I…Found…The one I want to be with? The one I will spend my entire life with? Is it possible that this demon, is that one? We stopped kissing.

"You know, we can't hide this for long…" I told him

"We can try." He said

"I don't understand, why you wish to hide yourself from the world. Everyone thinks that you are evil…Why not show them what you are showing me? They wouldn't judge you…and they wouldn't care. So why do you care?"

"Yune…I care because I want them to be frightened by me. If they are frightened they will stay away. Somebody like Inuyasha isn't as frightening as me, and he has to deal with all of these demons that underestimate him. If I have a good reputation, well that won't happen."

"Really? All for a reputation? Sesshomaru, I don't think you understand. You are hiding something that should be shown. No one is going to trust you. No one is going to give you the chance you deserve to get to know you. Do you really want to have the reputation of a killer for the rest of your life?"

"Well you trusted me."

"That's because I noticed something about you. Inuyasha, Kagome, etc…they won't…"

"I don't want them to know…"

"Not even a bit?"

"Not even a bit…"

"Alright, I'll let off of that topic…"

I leaned up against him. My head rested against his shoulder. My hand found his and intertwined with his. I knew that this topic bothered him. He knew I wished that he opened up to others and showed his true self…but I think he was scared…Scared of becoming something that wasn't feared by everyone. I didn't understand why…but his reputation meant a lot to him…and I have no right to tell him that he should do differently.

I felt my eyes close and I suddenly drifted off…

When I came too I saw that I was now laying on the ground by the burnt out fire. I knew it…he'd move me away from him. I sighed and sat up. I looked up at the blue sky and just smiled. I guess that's the way it's going to be. I should have known that it would be this way.

I stood up and looked around. Rin still laid asleep on the ground. Jaken was also asleep and so was Ah-Un. I looked around the area and gasped when I saw no Sesshomaru. I began to frantically look around. Where the hell is he?

"Sesshomaru?" I whispered trying to stay quiet for the others.

Of course no reply. What the hell? I walked a bit up the field we were in. I walked up the hill that was in the way of the view. When I got to the top of the hill I smiled when I saw Sesshomaru standing there in the grassy area. But I wonder what he is doing there…

I walked down the hill and stood behind Sesshomaru.

"Did I wake you?" He asked me as smiled at the sound of his voice

"No…Did you sleep at all?" I asked him as he turned around to me.

"A bit."

"Just a bit? Aren't you tired?"

"No…I was thinking."

"About what?"

"What you were saying last night…"

"Oh…um don't worry about that. I have no right to tell you how you should be."

"You have ever right to tell me how you feel."

His hand gently went upon my cheek. I felt a smiled come upon my face as the wind came and pushed my hair.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" I heard Rin's voice say as he immediately took his hand away from me.

He went up the hill and I stood there in the field. I let the breeze push my hair onto my face. I could say that I hate that part of him…But everything about him I love. Even the things I hate. Without them, he wouldn't be Sesshomaru…He wouldn't be the man I loved…

I turned around and saw Sesshomaru standing at the top of the hill. He was looking down to me. I felt the breeze push my hair out of my face and it revealed the smile I had. I walked up the hill and went beside Sesshomaru.

"Morning Rin, Jaken…Ah-Un." I said as Rin smiled to me.

"Morning Yune, how'd you sleep?" Rin asked me as Sesshomaru began to walk in a certain direction.

"Good you?" I asked her as we followed Sesshomaru.

"Great thanks."

We than followed Sesshomaru to wherever he was taking us.

(Time Passed)

Rin and me laughed as all of a sudden Sesshomaru stopped walking. We stopped laughing immediately.

"What's wrong Sesshomaru?" I asked as he pointed in front of him

"Your friends." He said as I knew he was letting me say hi.

I smiled as I stood beside him and saw Inuyasha's group there. I smiled and waved to Kagome. She waved back.

"Hey Kagome!" I said as she came up to me.

"Hey how have you been Yune?" Kagome asked me as I smiled

"Good you?"

"great. So I'm guessing you are okay after that huge blow out last time."

"Oh that…yeah…"

"Did you actually…you know…with Sesshomaru."

"…Yeah. But it was a mistake. I tripped on a branch and fell on him."

"I see…And is he…like…being mean?"

Sesshomaru grunted as I knew he was clearly hearing this conversation. I knew it began to bother him how Kagome asked questions. But hey we are girls, it's our life to bother others. And besides Kagome's my best friend I tell her everything…well most things.

"No…" I told her as she smiled.

"He better not hurt you…" Kagome whispered to me as Sesshomaru groaned in annoyance.

"He won't…he wouldn't."

"Well you never know."

"No, I know."

"Yune…" Sesshomaru grunted as I turned to him.

"What?" I asked him

He just gave me the look that said 'You are getting close to the line, she might figure out.' I rolled my eyes as he gave me an annoyed look.

"By the way Kagome, I met Kikyo." I told her as she looked down

"You did huh?" She said as I nodded.

"Yeah that was fun…"

"You didn't say anything mean did you?"

"No…"

"Good."

"Yo, Yune you ain't dead yet?" Inuyasha asked as Sesshomaru began to mumble

"Yune…are you and Sesshomaru…" She asked as I gulped

"N-No." I said as she gave me a smirk.

"Swear on my life?"

"Yes, she swears on your life." Sesshomaru said as he gave me a glare

"Oh you two are!" Kagome said loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"No we are not." Sesshomaru said as she turned to him

"That's why you were getting angry when I asked if you were being mean. You were actually being everything opposite." She said as he turned to me

"Hey it's not my fault I did my part!" I told him as he slapped his forehead.

"Oh…my…god…NO way!" I heard Sango scream as Sesshomaru continued to give me a glare.

"What? That one wasn't my fault either!" I said as I gave him a glare back.

"What are they talking about?" Miroku asked as I blushed hard.

"So your fault…" Sesshomaru said as I smiled

"I told you this was going to happen! But you didn't believe me." I told him

"No we said Rin was going to find out first."

"I did…" Rin said as we both turned to her.

"What? Are you kidding me? I knew it probably before you both did." Rin said

"When?" I asked her as she smiled.

"When Sesshomaru saved your life when you had miasma." Rin replied as I smiled.

"See I told you! You can't keep things a secret. At least not for long." I told him as he smirked

"Fine, your right." He said as I pouted
"Your no fun." I told him

"I've been told."

"Aw! You guys are perfect for each other." Kagome said as I heard Inuyasha laugh

"Good for each other? We have an idiotic naïve teenage girl and my older scary brother. That's perfect for each other?" Inuyasha said as Sesshomaru pulled out his new sword.

He aimed it at Inuyasha and a light came out and pushed Inuyasha into a tree.

"Don't call her an idiot…" Sesshomaru muttered as I smiled.

"Yeah, this is gonna be so much fun." I said as Kagome laughed.
