"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked as we came into earshot.
"I'm not sure what happened, I don't know who screamed but most of us were in bed" mom said as we all started looking around. I looked up and saw Kikyo sitting in a tree smiling, and I knew Naraku sent her there to make sure I didn't do what I wanted and I stay a virgin until Naraku could get a hold of me. I couldn't help getting angry, I felt the energy build up, I shot an energy blast out of my hands and into the tree, where Kikyo was sitting. Sesshomaru looked at me then at the tree where Kikyo had been sitting, he ran straight at me and wrapped his arm around my waist and held me tightly, holding my hands to my side, he was trying to hold me back, when he realized what was going on. Kikyo fell out of the tree and landed hard on the ground. I wanted to run over to her and beat the hell out of her, but Sesshomaru held me tightly and I could not move towards her. Kikyo finally got to her feet and ran away; I couldn't believe that she stooped that low to get to Sesshomaru.
"I want to go to sleep" I said and I walked to the tent alone and fell asleep.
"Why is she so tired all of a sudden?" Sesshomaru asked my family after I was asleep.
"When she uses the energy blasts it takes a lot of her energy and if she uses too much at once it could kill her. How did you know to stop her when you saw Kikyo?" Koga said while they sat by the fire.
"I thought if I let her do what she wanted to Kikyo, she would end up killing Kikyo." Sesshomaru said as my brothers nodded. I woke up early in the morning with Sesshomaru's arms around me. I got up and dressed in shorts and a blue tank top.
I looked around wondering when Sesshomaru came to bed. I walked outside and watched my brothers push each other in the river. I started giggling and I felt arms go around me, I turned around thinking it was Sesshomaru. I looked up and I pushed hard against the chest that held onto me. Manten was holding on tightly, his hand moved over my mouth just as I was about to scream. Since he held my arms down I could not use my powers on him, now I could not yell for help, but I could still communicate with my family. I yelled in my head and my family came running and yelling, I felt Manten hit something hard and I was let go quickly. I turned around and Sesshomaru was standing there with his arms crossed, my mom ran to my side.
"Are you alright Rylie?" my mom asked as the rest of the family stood shoulder to shoulder.
"I'm fine" I said as Sesshomaru stared at me, and I winked at him and he smiled.
"Sesshomaru let the idiot go, I don't think he'll mess with Rylie again" my dad said and we all looked at him.
"Alright, get out of here. Tell Naraku to leave Rylie and her family alone or I will be coming for him" Sesshomaru said as he walked towards me and hugged me tightly. I went back into the tent after we watched Manten run away; I started putting my things back in my bag.
"Rylie what are you doing?" Sesshomaru asked me as I sat down on the floor and was moving things around.
"Cleaning up a little" I said, I looked up at him and smiled, he looked at me like he knew I was hiding something from him. Sesshomaru sat next to me and put his arm around my waist; he kissed the side of my neck and smiled when I shivered.
"Don't worry so much. No one would be stupid enough to mess with you. Especially after people hear what you did to Kikyo." He said and he started laughing when I giggled.
"I didn't mean cut the tree in half" I said and laughed harder. Sesshomaru got up and pulled me out of the tent laughing. We spent the rest of the day swimming, talking, and laughing. We started to pack up when the sun set, as we walked to the truck I felt something hit my thigh, I ignored it. I took one step and collapsed.
"RYLIE! What happened? SESSHOMARU it looks like she was shot" mom screamed as she laid my head on her lap. Sesshomaru reached my side and looked at my thigh, I looked up at him as he leaned closer to look or bite, I was not sure. He jumped up quickly and looked around, I could see the anger in his eyes, and I watched as Sesshomaru disappeared into the woods, I heard a short scream. Bankotsu rushed to my side.
"Koga, Shippou, dad, mom hold her down. I can only heal her leg if the bullet is out, I have to dig it out and it is going to hurt." Bankotsu said as everyone gathered around me and held tight to me, I watched Bankotsu pull out a pocket knife as I held a hand up to stop him.
"I will get it out" I said as I used my power to pull the bullet out, I screamed briefly from the pain and passed out.
