"Take care of her; she is not worth my trouble." Kikyo said to someone behind me. I turned around and saw Hiten Edwards; he was in my home room class. All of a sudden Sesshomaru was standing between me and Hiten; he looked like he was ready to kill someone.
"You will not touch her" Sesshomaru said, Hiten turned and ran away; Sesshomaru looked at me and put his hand on my cheek. He looked at Kikyo who was watching us, and her face turned red.
"I will never be yours, Kikyo. You need to leave Rylie alone." He said as he grabbed my hand and Sango's to get us out of there. Sesshomaru walked Sango to Miroku who took her home.
"Can I take you home?" Sesshomaru asked me
"No, I think I'll walk" I said as I walked away. I thought about what I was going to do about Kikyo and Sesshomaru. I wanted to be with Sesshomaru, but I couldn't keep fighting with Kikyo. I heard a screech from behind me I turned to see a truck heading full speed towards me. I moved out of the way but the truck followed my movement, something hit me, but not from the direction the truck was coming, I hit the ground and I heard the truck pass by. I looked up and saw Sesshomaru kneeling over me in a protective way, I felt something warm run down my back, I ran my hand through my hair and felt a gash on the back of my head, when I looked at my hand it was covered in blood. I guess I hit my head when we went down, but I couldn't remember hitting anything.
"Shit, I need to get home." I said as Sesshomaru turned and saw my hand covered in blood. He picked me up in his arms and ran me home, it took seconds.
"Get Bankotsu" I said as my mom saw my condition and I was starting to get dizzy. Sesshomaru put me on the couch and watched as Bankotsu put his hand on my head and I got up like nothing was wrong.
"We have a lot to talk about" Sesshomaru said as I looked at my family and they all nodded, silently telling me it was time to tell Sesshomaru the truth about our family. I walked Sesshomaru to my room and asked him to sit down.
"I need to tell you something about me first because I doubt you would want to be around me after you find out. I am a… Inu Demon." Sesshomaru said as I looked at him not really surprised.
"Are you going kill me?" I asked and he gave me dirty look.
"No, I could never hurt you." He said
"Then, I will stay by your side always" I said and I looked out of my window.
"Well it is time for you to know our secret. We are…. Powerful Miko's, half wolf demon, and half fox demon. I didn't want to tell you because I thought it might change your feelings for me." I said as he stared at me.
"My feelings would never change for you, what can your family do?" he asked out of curiosity.
"Other than the powers we received from our demon side, I can shoot energy blasts from my hands and I can move things with my mind. Koga controls all forms of fire; Shippou can fly and he can sense other peoples feelings. Bankotsu can heal; Rin my step mother can control all forms of water. My dad can control lighting and can open portals to other parts of the country; my mom can touch someone and see their past, present and future and control plants. We all have excellent fighting skills; we have been doing martial arts and weapons training for 10 years. We can do spells, but we never use our magic for evil and we don't curse people." I said as his eyes grew wide. I giggled a little, I sat on the edge of my bed and opened my closet and pulled a blanket out and put it around Sesshomaru's shoulders, with my mind. The look on Sesshomaru's face made me believe that he was convinced.
"I would like to know more about you" I said sweetly.
"What would you like to know?" he asked, his arm pulled me tighter against him.
"How did you become like this? Anything about your past" I said smiling at him, he watched me closely.
"Alright, I was born in England, July 25, 1460. I met Ayumi, my ex lover, August 18, 1478. She was beautiful and enchanting, I never figured out what she was until one night, she summoned me to meet her at her home at midnight. I showed up early, she asked me to come in. I walked into the house and was attacked and knocked unconscious. I woke up three days later Ayumi explained that she was a succubus and needed a strong male but since she was not my mate my body did not corporate with her. I didn't agree with her methods on feeding, she killed everyone she fed off of, I erased memories of those that witnessed the deaths. Ayumi wanted us to mate, but I didn't care for her in the least. I finally escaped her in 1556 and I moved to America where I met Ginta and Hakkaku in what we now call Maine. I set up a home there until Ayumi came looking for me again, so I moved all around America just to keep distance between us. Ginta and Hakkaku followed me, they called me their leader. In 1660, I received a visit from my mother, she was in spirit form. She tells me that a family of witches with demon blood will come and I would fall in love with the girl in the family. My mother told me that this girl would be able to fight like hell, have a heart of gold, she would have three brothers, and she would except me for who I am and not my money. My mother also explained that I would help this girl and her family save the world." he said, I stared at him and smiled.
"Is that why you were so shocked to learn I had three brothers?" I asked, I watched his face.
"Yes" he said smiling.
"In 2007 I moved here to Sunrise Valley, I never expected to meet you here, but now that I have I won't let you go so easily." he said smiling at me.
"Wow, I never knew you had to deal with all of that" I said staring at him.
"Tell me a little about yourself" he said I looked up at him.
"Well, I was born and raised in Spring Hill Florida. I only travel to distant lands on the computer. My father works with the military, making weapons and training soldiers. Rin works with her hands, she makes quilts, and anything else she can use her hands to make. I enjoy riding horses and hunting, but I rarely do much of either. I would like to go on a two week cruise on my motorcycle, but being a protector' that's hard to do." I said smiling at Sesshomaru who was listening closely.
"When was the last time you went horseback riding?" he asked, I stared at him.
"Two years" I said but I could tell he was thinking about something.
"I'm glad we were able to talk to each other, now we will have no secrets between us" he said and smiled.
"I'm happy too it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders." I said and smiled when he scooted next to me.
Sesshomaru put his arm around my waist, and pulled me closer to him. I was not sure what was going to happen but as long as I was with Sesshomaru everything would be fine, Sesshomaru did not make a move. Sesshomaru went home shortly after our conversation, I feel asleep. I woke up the next morning, I dressed quickly in a black mini skirt and a red tank top, and I went to my closet and got a pair of knee high, high heeled boots and put them on. I went outside and saw Sesshomaru waiting by his truck, when he saw me his eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.
"You look great" Sesshomaru said as I got close enough to hear him.
"Thank you" I said as he helped me into his truck
"Why did you decide to wear a skirt?" he asked as his eyes moved down to my legs.
"I don't know, I felt like wearing something new." I said and smiled as I watched him walk around the truck to open his door, when we arrived at the school. I walked with Sesshomaru to all of our classes; Sesshomaru did not want me out of his sight while I was in a skirt. Everyone around us turned and stared at me, as we walked by. There were no incidents at school and Sesshomaru drove me home.
Chapter 8:
"Bye Sesshomaru I will see you tomorrow." I said as he stopped in front of my house.
"See you" he said as he opened the door for me. I went inside and changed into a pair of jeans and an old t-shirt, I went outside to do my training for the day with my brothers. My brothers and I trained with our weapons and on our martial arts. My dad stood at the window watching us and nodding his approval.
"Did you get anymore strange phone calls? Did you tell Sesshomaru about it yet?" Koga asked when we took our water break.
"No I didn't get any other phone calls, or told Sesshomaru yet. I believe I told him enough for one night." I said as I looked at the ground.
"You should tell him, so he could help protect you when we are not around" Koga said and I knew he was right.
"Yeah, I will tell him tomorrow." I said as I watched my brothers finish their training. I walked to my room and called Sesshomaru. I decided it was best to tell him as soon as possible, and where no one else can hear our conversations.
"Hey Sesshomaru, I need to talk to you. Can you come over? I know it's late, but you can come through my window. It's really important." I said as I stared out the window and watched a shadow across the street move.
"Yeah, I'm on my way" he said as I heard his truck race down the street. I watched as his truck pull up and stop a couple of houses down. He was in my room in a flash.
"What's the matter?" he asked as he walked me to the bed and sat me down.
"Look, I got a strange phone call the other night, the person on the other end said they were coming for me." I said as I looked at him.
"Do you know who it was?" he asked as he put his hands on mine.
"Yes, his name is Naraku Huburt; he was at my last school. He has the biggest crush on me, but I always turned him down when he asked for dates. He was nice at first but he became aggressive, and then every chance he got he would hit me. My brothers saw the bruises and I told them I fell or something. He is the same one that almost killed me. I am not sure what to do; I am always looking over my shoulders and around every corner, to make sure he is not waiting for me." I said and I started to cry. Alan put his arm around me and held me while I cried; I felt a little better with him holding me.
"Rylie, I would give my life to protect yours." He said as he held me tighter.
"Sesshomaru I do not want to see that man again, I don't think I could handle it, he always said he will follow me anywhere and take me for his self by force if he had to." I said as I buried my face into his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will not leave you alone and neither will your brothers. You will be safe I promise." He said as he got up and looked around outside and around my room.
Sesshomaru left shortly after that, and I went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I could hear my brothers' fighting in the back yard, I walked to the window that was looking towards the back yard and watched my brothers toss each other around the yard, and I started laughing when Shippou threw Bankotsu in the pond. I walked to the kitchen and made myself some breakfast. I watched my mom walk in circles around the house. I heard a knock on the door and I went to answer it, there was a package sitting on the front step. I looked at the package and it was addressed to me so I carried it to the kitchen table. I opened it slowly, and once it was opened and I saw what was inside I screamed. My brothers came running into the house, and looked into the box, Koga put his arm around me, and Shippou got on the phone. Sesshomaru came rushing into the house and looked in the box and saw the dismembered body of a cat and a note that said 'you're next'. Sesshomaru put his arm around me and he walked me back to my room, he sat with me until I fell asleep from exhaustion. I woke up hours later, and I heard talking downstairs so I followed the sound.
"Rylie you are suppose to be resting" mom said and came to my side, I watched as the rest of my family walked towards me, and Sesshomaru as well. Everyone crowded around me, and whispering how it was going to be alright. Sesshomaru stayed next to me all night while I slept. The next morning Sesshomaru was gone, I walked to my closet, I grabbed a pair of jeans, a light blue v neck t-shirt, and high heeled boots and I grabbed my bag and left the house.
I stopped when I saw Sesshomaru's truck waiting across the street, I saw Sesshomaru leaning against his truck. As soon as he saw me he walked over towards me, and held his hand out for me to go to him and I did. He walked me over to the passenger side of the truck, and opened the door for me, I jumped in, and he was sitting next to me in a flash. On the way to the school he grabbed my hand and held it tightly, I couldn't help but smile. Sesshomaru had his schedule changed, and had every class with me. So we walked hand in hand to every class.
