"So you will never grow old?" he said as I stared at him.

"I guess not" I said staring at the ground.

"Rylie, that means I will never lose you" he said excitedly.

"Ha-ha you will get so tired of me" I said giggling.

"Maybe" he said, I picked up a pillow and threw it at him. He

laughed and threw it back; I ducked before it hit me. The pillow

slammed into the wall, I moved the pillow and stared at the huge

hole left behind.

"Damn I guess you did get stronger" I said laughing.

"Oops, I didn't mean to throw it that hard, I'm glad you moved out

of the way in time." He said still laughing.

"Me too, I think that would have hurt" I said "I'm going back to

class tomorrow" I added being serious.

"Why?" he asked, I walked to the window and watched the five men limped by.

"Because those morons will not chase me away from my life. I will

not run and hide every time I get hurt" I said turning and staring

into his eyes.

"Alright Rylie, but you will always be with someone, do not go

anywhere alone, promise me." He said being very protective.

"I promise" I said, I went into his arms and held him tight. We fell

asleep like that; it was getting to the point where I couldn't go to

sleep without Sesshomaru's arms around me.

Sesshomaru woke me up kissing my neck, he kissed my lips passionately.

He leaned on his forearms, he looked down at me, and I smiled up at

him. He ripped my shirt and underwear off; he entered me hard and

fast. We found our release, I screamed his name, and he moaned my

name. We took a shower together; we made love again, after our

shower we both dressed quickly. Sesshomaru wore jeans, a button down shirt

that was left open, a white tank top underneath and steel toed

boots. I decided to wear tight black leather pants, a red shirt that

tied in the front, and high heeled boots. Sesshomaru carried me on his

back out to his truck, we were low on time and we didn't want to be

late again. I went to my first class without Sesshomaru, it was the only

class we didn't have together. I walked with Sango and Miroku out to

the front court yard. We were heading for the tree we always sat

under to talk.

"So Sango did you pick out a dress for Saturday yet?" I asked. I

couldn't believe the week was almost over.

"No, I wanted to wait till I could go with you" she said and Miroku

smiled, I knew he already picked out his tux and so did Sesshomaru.

"Oh well, I'm going tomorrow with Shori, a friend of Sesshomaru's and mine.

Come with us." I said.

"Alright, sounds fun. We can go after class" she said, I nodded.

Suddenly there was a sharp pain in my back and my knees were giving

out. I grabbed Miroku's arm, he wrapped his arm around my waist,

realizing I couldn't stand on my own any longer.

"RYLIE" Sango screamed when she saw me, she watched two men run

away from behind me. She looked at my back and saw blood pouring out

of a stab wound; I looked at her now pale face.

"Sango go find Sesshomaru and my brothers. Do it quickly I can't hold on

to long" I said as her tears started to fall, I watched her run

towards the school knowing she would use the loud speaker to call

everyone to my side. Miroku carried me to the tree and set me down. He

pulled a towel out of his bag and held it tightly to the wound on my

back. I looked around and saw the five men coming towards me and I

panicked, I didn't want to cause Miroku any problems or see my friend

get hurt. I gathered what energy I had and shot an energy blast

towards them. They flew into the building with a sickening thud. I

could feel my strength weaken even more, my eyes were starting to

get heavy. I saw a strange woman walking by watching me, but she

didn't look worried at all.

"RYLIE" I heard, I looked up and Sesshomaru was standing over me with worry

all over his face, my brothers were running to get to me. The

woman's eyes grew large when she saw Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru tossed his keys to

Bankotsu "take my truck it is faster, I will take Rylie, we will be

waiting for you in her room." He said, he turned and looked at

Sango "she will be fine if we can get her home quickly" he told

her and disappeared with me cradled in his arms. I blacked out as

soon as we entered the house seconds later. I woke up several hours

later, I looked up and I realized I was lying on Sesshomaru's lap. Sesshomaru

looked down at me sighed a breath of relief.
