As always I don't own Inuyasha.

The Yōkai Child

Time is not relevent

Sesshomaru knew only one thing and that was he could save her. Sure she was was called a monster and no one wanted her to live. He shouldn't think of having any feelings for her but he did. He wanted her as a mate, he had used the fight as a way to mark her even if it was only for a moment.

I was not having the best time here since someone was trying to kill me in some shape or form. Than I smelled it that hanyo that thought he could just kidnaped someone! He had been on our trail for an hour now and it was getting to the two in my head. One wanted to tear him open the other just wanted to eat him and be done with it.

'No I am not going to do that!' I thought loud and clear. Shippo gave me a worried look so I bent down and gave him a smile.

"Shippo you remember that hanyo that tried to take me away?"

"Yea." he said nodding slowly.

"Well he has been following us so you want to set up a trick for him?" he gave a laugh that cheered him up greatly.

"I got a good one save that should be fun." he pulled a pouch from his sleeve. Oh boy this must be one he has been saving.

We started to walk again this time in higher spirits. Something felt off but I couldn't tell what it was until I till both the voices growled for me to drop to the ground. I did it just in time as something went flying past my head. Why can't I go more than two days without some one trying to kill me?

Sesshomaru watched as his father drew a blade he had never seen before. This was bad he could feel it his blood screamed it would be over if that blade touched her. He could do nothing in this moment but watch as his father got closer to where she now laid on the ground. His heart was thumping loud,y in his chest as he watched her stand up again. He only needed his father to be distracted for just a moment to get her away and back to the well where she had come from.
