They were happy this girl was around; they felt like she would melt the ice wall surrounding they're Lord's heart.
Once they were done preparing it they put it on a tray and gave it to Shi Shi. Shi Shi carefully carried it down the long hallway and up the stairs and carried to towards Sesshomaru's study, he usually spent a lot of time catching up on work because he wasn't around the castle much. She managed to get the door open and she walked toward the desk with Sesshomaru staring at her. "I don't think you ate either so I brought you some too! Now we can have breakfast together." She smiled offering the plate of food. "I don't want any." He coldly replied looking back down at his papers.
"But it was hard carrying it all the way up here without dropping any of it! Please just have one? If you have one I'll leave." She smiled. He just remained still watching her place a piece of food on the fork. "Open up My Lord" She smiled as she held the food close to his mouth. "I don't need to be f-"He tried to finish talking but she shoved the food quickly in his mouth then she grabbed the dishes and hurried out the door before he could say anything. He just sighed, finished chewing his food then he continued working, but his work was always interrupted by the thoughts of the little fallen angel that admired him so much.
Shi Shi just laughed as she left his study and decided to finish her meal and then she would bathe and help with the damage she caused. She finished off her meal with the pieces of fruit left on her plate and Sesshomaru's. She put the plate in the kitchen then she happily skipped away to the bathing area to get all clean. Once she was all done and dressed again she decided to ask the guards and servants if they needed help repairing any damage done.
Once she found some of them she waved them down "Hey! Do you guys need any help?" She yelled over to them. Most haven't seen her yet because she usually hides away in a room or somewhere. They just gazed at her admiring her beauty until someone finally replied "No thanks! No need to dirty your hands, besides, it's still raining very hard so we can handle it from here!" One of them yelled back waving with some tools in his hand. "Okay!" She called back and smiled and she skipped away. They watched her until she was out of sight then they continued working on these mysterious craters in the ground and some damaged the building. They heard rumors it was Shi Shi, but how could someone so beautiful and sweet looking be responsible for such damage? They just shook their heads and laughed.
Shi Shi decided to go look around or look for Rin. She found herself in a huge training room with dummies and lots of equipment. She walked in looking all around and then while she was looking around she bumped into the rack holding all the weapons and she knocked them all over making them scatter all over the floor. She yelped and jumped back then she looked down at them all and one sword in particular seemed familiar to her for some reason. It was a sword with large blade and handle and was quite sharp, to use it you would need to use your whole body to operate it right, and not everyone knew how to handle it.
It was a heavy sword but had beautiful designs on it, she couldn't help but to think it stood out from the rest of the other weapons. She bent down to touch it and as soon as her fingers tips touched it she felt something tremendous and quickly pulled her hand away. Her head started to hurt so she put her hands on her head and tightly shut her eyes, but these scenes would go through her head. Scenes with her in a place she didn't recognize and she was holding a blade very similar to the one she touched.
More scenes of her running towards people using her upper body to help swing around the sword, she would use the weight of the sword to her advantage and it would help her swing harder and faster and the flash of memory ended with her cutting through people but at the same time staying in one area not allowing them to get by somewhere. The memory was gone and her head no longer hurt. She just knelt down and re thought about everything. 'Was… that a lost memory?' She was a bit confused by this but she decided not to let it consume her. She picked up the somewhat large sword and swung it around a few times, and as she just like the memory, she let the flow of her movements take life on its own. She was soon able to use her wings and shoulders to juggle it around to help her swing it. She was smiling and laughing while she was playing around with it, it was like missing an old friend.
Once she was done playing around with that she used the two matching swords, and after some practice she could easily swing around both of the swords. She could spin both swords using her hands and swing them at the same time and it looked pretty cool, and not everyone was good at fighting with two swords. She just giggled and swung them around never breaking concentration until she heard someone clapping. She stopped what she was doing and looked at who it was "Impressive, not everyone can do that you know. Who taught you to do that?" One of the guards asked.
"I don't really remember. Who are you?" She curiously asked. "I was the one guarding this area to make sure nobody came in here and hurt themselves. But I stepped out for a moment and you must have slipped in." He responded. She put the swords back and began to walk out, as she walked by him she smiled and said "well guard, you're not very good at your job." He just looked at her as she walked down the hallway. Shi Shi was now tired from practicing with the swords, so she decided to have something to drink then go to bed early.
She got into her night dress and went under the sheets again. Sesshomaru was already pretty tired; he didn't get much sleep the night before. So he decided to go to sleep early as well. As he fell asleep he found himself dreaming, which was unusual. What was more unusual was that it wasn't his dream, he was in a place that was all white and most things were decorated with elegant designs. There were also buildings and they had unique designs. He heard a bunch of talking and something going on so he turned around and saw angels with helmets on dragging someone with each arm. And ahead of them were people guiding them to the biggest building. He stepped closer to look and the beat up girl angel they were holding was none other than Shi Shi. 'Why are they dragging her away? What did she do wrong?' He thought as he followed them.
They eventually reached the huge building and they're a bunch of people around in a circle behind some desks. The guards threw Shi Shi in the middle of the room on the floor. She weakly got up and remainded standing but looking down with a very sad, broken expression on her face. "The council has decided your fate. But, you stop gazing down the well and you MUST forget about that DEMON. You can never see him again." They demanded all looking down on her.
"I can't...I won't ever forget." She silently refused. He was wondering who they were talking about. "You have done what was forbidden, and the consequences are you actions will bring you grave pain." "Please...don't do this" She began to cry. "Take her away and give her the punishment she deserves, and then kill her." They commanded, and with a wave of a hand the guards came back and grabbed her arms. She thrashed around and dragged her feet saying "Leave me alone! Let go of me! Please!" She cried.
Sesshomaru followed them to see where she was taken and they threw her in a big dark room. And though he couldn't see her, he didn't have to see to know what was going on. He heard the sounds of whips and slashes and her screaming and crying. Once they left her alone and walked away locking the door she silently cried and held herself. Just loud enough for her and Sesshomaru to hear she said "I can't forget about him, demon or not, I love him..." She stared into the floor. Then she looked around and threw herself at the door until it finally cracked.
And pushed herself threw an opening getting many scratches from it and then she ran as fast as he could out of the stairs. There was a small window up ahead, and while she was running up to reach it others were running down and throwing things to knock her over. She climbed up and jumped just before they could reach her. Others flew after her and were shooting arrows at her, but she tried her best to dodge them. She was heading towards an isolated small building in the distance. Sesshomaru used his speed to keep up with them.
Shi Shi quickly flew into the small building and they followed her in, and a bunch of them cornered her inside. "You were guardian of the forbidden well! You should never have looked through it! Your job was to prevent anyone from going near it! You should be ashamed! Any contact between demons and angels is FORBIDDEN." They demanded coming closer. "I'll never forget him". She smiled and as she stepped back he tripped and fell down the well. She screamed as she fell in and they tried to catch her before she fell but it was too late. Sesshomaru just stared down the well and listened to her screaming then he woke up to the sound of actual screaming.
He got up and ran to Shi Shi's room as fast as he could and found her sitting up tightly shutting her eyes and holding her head and screaming. He went up to her and sat on the bed and tried to comfort her. She started thrashing her head around screaming "No! No! Leave me alone! Please! I'm sorry!" she screamed and cried he grabbed started rubbing her head to calm her down and finally she opened her eyes and looked up.
When she saw Sesshomaru she quickly wrapped her arms around him and cried onto him as she held his clothing tightly and pressed herself on him crying into his chest. He had no idea what to do, but he decided to let her cry and he just pet her hair for a while. After a while she calmed down and she got off him and she rubbed her eyes. He felt kind a little guilty, being there and not being able to do anything.
He got up and almost walked out but before he got too far she grabbed onto his clothing and said "I'm scared...that was a memory wasn't it..." She looked at him and he nodded. "Don't be afraid." He said, then she let go and watched him leave. Leaving her in the dark room all alone. He decided to go back to his room and think, why was he in her memories? He couldn't imagine anyone doing those bad things to her. 'Is that why she's had bandages all over her legs still? Have her injuries still not fully recovered?' These questions made his blood boil and his head spin. Shi Shi tried going back to bed, but as soon as she fell asleep, her body got out of bed, and her eyes once again began to glow.
Sesshomaru decided to needed to get a drink or go for a walk; he just needed to get out of there for a while. When he past the kitchen he heard things fall. He quickly went in and found Shi Shi reaching for the knives. He quickly walked to the side to check if this was really her. He saw the same glowing eyes and he immediately got worried. He went closer to her and noticed she held a knife up high and was going to stab herself. She quickly tried impaling herself with the knife towards her stomach but before the knife could reach Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"We told you not to interfere Sesshomaru." The eyes looked right towards him, and the same strange girl spoke in a mischievous tone. Then Shi Shi went limp and was asleep all over again as if nothing happened. He sighed 'What a nuisance, I should tell her about this, maybe she'll know about this.' He thought as he carried her to his room, at least if he was with her then she couldn't get out of reach without him knowing.
They didn't get much of a good sleep because of recent events that had occurred the past few nights. When he finally carried her to bed he placed her at one side and he covered her with blankets and covered her up, then he decided to sleep on the other side of the bed, 'I'm so exhausted I couldn't care less.' He thought, not giving it much thought. He did what he wanted at any given time, he didn't think about the consequences. He was quite tired, so as soon as he got comfortable he fell asleep.
As soon as the sun rose, and the sunlight went through his curtains and filled the room they both slowly woke up. They both went to turn around to get comfortable and fall asleep again but when they turned they rubbed noses and both slowly opened their eyes. Shocked by this, Shi Shi gasped and quickly backed up falling off the bed backwards and landing on her back. And Sesshomaru just quickly sat up rubbing his head. "Ah…Uhm, how did I end up in here again? And wait…AH, I'm still in my night dress! I'll uh, be back later!" She panicked and then disorderly ran out of the door then ran to her room to get changed using her wings to push her around faster.
When she left Sesshomaru remained sitting there then lifted his finger to his nose and rubbed it and thought 'It was warm.' He then got up and got properly dressed then decided to go to the dining room to have breakfast. He went down to breakfast and found everyone already there eating, "It not like you to sleep in My Lord!" Rin Declared as she was eating. He took a seat in his usual spot and began eating. He noticed Shi Shi was very quiet and slowly eating her food. She didn't eat as much today, she got up and excused herself and walked away. When Sesshomaru was done he too excused himself and went to go find Shi Shi and if she knew about what was happening to her.
When he finally found her she was sitting on the top of the roof. Once she noticed him she tried to hide the fact she was upset, so she smiled "Oh hi Lord Sesshomaru, what brings you here?" "There's no need to hide your emotions when I'm around. And why I'm on the roof you say? I was looking for you." He replied while taking a seat beside her. "What is it you wish to talk about My Lord?" She asked looking into the distance. "I was in your dream last night; I saw how you ended up here." "Oh...you saw that huh? Yes, I'm the fallen angel and I have been shunned by my brothers and sisters up above. I lost just about everything for the one I love down here, silly right?" She laughed it off. "I guess that's where the cuts came from, I finally took off the bandages this morning, and it's almost fully healed." She shown him her leg then put it back. There were still tiny cuts, but they'd be gone by the evening, maybe even faster.
"You've been keeping something from me My Lord, would you mind telling me what it is? I think it's the best for all of our safety." She looked at him no longer smiling. "At night, sometimes you walk around and someone else has control over your body, they can talk through you and use that to speak to others." He explained. Shi Shi just sighed and said "It will only get worse...you may not believe it but I was a pretty good fighter, that's why I was chosen to be the guardian of the well. So may I ask a favor?" "Of course." He agreed, "At nights you MUST chain me up, and no matter what I say or do, you must not listen." He nodded then stood up and went back in the castle. He agreed to do as she asked but he didn't take it very seriously, 'Chain her up? She couldn't do much damage.' He thought.
