Disclaimer: I own nothing of Inuyasha.

Izayoi awoke to see a pair of golden eyes staring down at her concerned, those eyes she knew, but the memory of those crimson eyes crept into her head. She sat up quickly and crawled away from him.

"Izayoi, did I frighten you?"

Izayoi stopped and turned to him.

"N-no." She lied. He stood up.

"Izayoi I am sorry, I did not mean to scare you." He came over to her and bent down, holding out his hand. Izayoi reluctantly took it and he helped her onto her feet. Suddenly the fear was gone and she remembered what he had done. He had saved her, she was so close to death but he came for her and rescued her.

"Thank you." She felt so happy.

"How do you feel?" Suddenly he touched her on the neck, as if to examine her for any injuries. She was a little scared, he had such sharp claws.

"I feel better, thank you. I am alive at least."

"Izayoi, I am sorry you had to see me like that. I do not usually transform in front of humans. They frighten too easy."

"It is okay Inutaisho, you saved me, that is all that matters"

"Do you remember when I told you that there are things I'd rather you didn't know about me?" He said. Izayoi nodded.

"That is one of those things. I have not always been so kind to humans."

"But all the stories I have heard about you. All the countless demons you defeated. How can that be when I have heard nothing but good things?"

"You heard those when you were a child, they were fairytales meant to teach you about the warring nature of demons. I was once very different."

Izayoi knew what he was trying to do, he was trying to warn her. Everyone it seemed tried to warn her about demons these days, but Izayoi saw something in him. She looked inside those glorious golden eyes, the power and the awe, they were so intimidating, but at the same time she could see such kindness there. These could not be the eyes of a demon of darkness, but a demon of power and compassion. Izayoi smiled at him.

"You are different." He smiled surprised and Izayoi could see that he seemed touched.

"Let me take you home Izayoi." Izayoi was glad that he would take her home, but –

"But how will I explain all of this?" Suddenly they turned to hear bushes moving only a few feet away. Inutaisho walked over to the bushes and opened them. A man lay inside in the fetal position whimpering.

"Shigimaru?" It was one of her loyal samurai. He looked up and saw only Izayoi.

"Izayoi-sama, you're alive! Thank the gods."

"Izayoi, go with this man, I will watch you from afar." Inutaisho said, now hiding in the shadows. Shigimaru looked around.

"Who was that?"

Izayoi watched as Inutaisho ran into the dark forest and was gone. Izayoi helped the frightened man onto his feet.

"That was just your imagination Shigimaru."

Soon Izayoi and Shigimaru were off into the night. They had left the bodies of the other samurai, it could not be helped. Izayoi walked behind Shigimaru, knowing that Inutaisho was watching. She was no longer afraid.

A/N: My style might have changed a bit, I am happy about that though. I hope you like! Please R/R.
