"Sesshomaru what are you doing?" I asked, he slowly turned towards me and stared at me in confusion.
"How did you find your way down here? I had to help the rest of your family find their way out of the mazes of hallways and doors." He said, he walked towards me and I started smiling.
"I'm not sure, I just kept walking, finally I found myself in a secret staircase and I found you going up the real staircase. You will have to show us the way up and down this maze you call a house" I said, I giggled a little when he reached out and grabbed my hand. I walked behind him trying to keep up the pace, he did everything quickly, and I bet he cleaned his house by himself. I giggled to myself, as I thought about him using his demonic speed to clean his house. We walked into the kitchen where my family was waiting to have their breakfast.
"Rylie, I will be heading into town today, I have to check on my businesses. Would you like to go with me?" he said, I looked up at him then at my dad, I had been slacking in my training and he knew it too.
"I would love to, but I have to help set up the new training area, and I need to get some training in, I have been slacking a little." I said, he chuckled a little but he nodded.
"Don't hurt your brothers' too much" he said kissing the top of my head, I heard hissing come from my brothers', Sesshomaru chuckled again and he was gone. After breakfast we helped clean up the kitchen, then we were forced outside, we set up the new training area.
"It looks great guys, now to work. Bankotsu and Shippo pair up. Koga and Rylie pair up. Now take these swords, and attack." Dad said we started our training.
"Hey Rylie, I have decided to make Ayame a protector" Koga said just as he swung his sword, I was so distracted by what he said I didn't block the blow in time. I jumped and looked at him, "owww" I said, and he chuckled but stopped abruptly when he saw the blood running down my arm.
"Rylie, are you alright?" Koga said as he rushed to my side. I giggled a little, I stared up at him and I could see real terror on his face.
"Yeah, you just grazed me, I will get mom to bandage me" I said glancing towards Bankotsu and Shippo, I turned towards the house when Koga grabbed my arm.
"Let Bankotsu heal you" Koga said, I glanced towards Bankotsu again and giggled
"I believe Bankotsu will not be able to right now. You might want to help him out of the bush; I think he is stuck again." I said laughing as I headed for the house and to mom.
"Mom, get the first aid kit" I yelled through the house, I held my arm tight trying to stop the bleeding. Mom came around the corner and gasped when she saw me.
"What happened?" she asked, I told her what happened and she just looked at me. "What were you thinking about?" she asked, she finally finished wrapping my arm and washing the blood away.
"To be honest I don't remember now" I said laughing. There was a
knock on the door, I looked at mom and she shrugged. I got up; I
walked to the door and opened it. I was face to face with Muso.
"What the hell are doing here? Where is Sesshomaru?" Muso demanded as he
tried to walk past me when he spotted my mom cleaning my blood off
the floor.
"I live here you moron, and Sesshomaru is in town getting more blood" I
said as I pushed him back out the door.
"When did you move in? Does Sesshomaru know?" he demanded again.
"We moved in last night, and yes he does know. He was the one who
moved us here" I said glaring at him. He walked away, I thought he
left so I went back into the house until I heard arguing coming from
the side of the house where the training area was. I grabbed my
dagger/staff off my belt and extended it. I ran outside and found
Shippo arguing with Muso.
"Muso you need to leave" I said when I jumped in between them; Shippo
backed away and summoned the rest of the family to our side. I had
no idea where they went but they couldn't be far. Muso stared at me
and I could tell he was extremely angry by my interference.
"You stupid bitch, do you know what I can do to you. I will rip your
head off and give it to your parents in a box." He screamed at me.
"If you lay one hand on me Sesshomaru would kill you without thinking
about it. Plus I wouldn't let you get that far nor would my family."
I said back to him, I saw his fist rise as if he was about to strike
me, I readied my staff, as his fist came down, I stood there waiting
but no contact was made. I looked up; I realized I was staring in
Sesshomaru's eyes. I couldn't believe he had made it in time. Sesshomaru turned
and glared at Muso, I realized then that Muso had not stopped his
fist in time and he struck Sesshomaru in the shoulder.
