~Alex's P.O.V.~

“As his slave for all eternity.” Shesso-maru just stared at Alex his eyes searching for what to say.

“I am…Sorry. For your loss.”

“Sorry? Sorry for what? Oh Crap! You're wounded! I totally forgot!”

Alex ripped a long piece of cloth from her kimono.

“Why do you help me?” Asked Shesso-maru while Alex ripped smaller pieces off of her over kimono top. Alex removed his kimono top and blushed. His chest was that of a girl's dreams. Perfect.

Alex shook this thought from her head and answered him.

“It's my job as a healer to help all those who ask for it or need healing. No matter what I must obey those rules.”

Alex stopped to look at his wounds. “Most of these wounds are old and were reopened in battle. Where did you get them?” She inquired.

Shesso-maru flinched as she touched one of the old wounds.

“A demon named Naraku. I was going to slay him for revenge, the same for InuYasha.” He shifted reveling a missing left arm.

“I cannot heal such wounds with herbs. I need a room. Or some place where we won't be disturbed.” She said hesitantly. “Most of these wounds are to deep. I need to use magic to heal them so they won't scar.” She paused. “If I take you to the nearby village promise not to fight InuYaha?” She asked hesitantly.

Shesso-maru filched at the name. “If it means no wounds or scars, then yes.”

“All right then. Hold on let me call Nightfire.” Alex stood and walked over to the lake. “O' great Dragons that are higher, I call thee to my desire. The one of The Black Darkness and of Sacred Fire. The one they call Nightfire.” Her words echoed from the lake and into the sky. “Nightfire! I summon thee! Come to me! For I am your Master as you are mine! NIGHTFIRE COME UNTO THEE!”

A defining roar was heard from over head. As soon as Shesso-maru looked to the sky, a black and red light was seen overhead in the clouds, blinding him for a second. As he looked away and looked back to where the light had shone, a giant beast of great portions came down from the sky. Its black and red scales shone like gems. “Nightfire! I summon thee! Come to me!”

Alex commanded to the beast. The dragon landed with an earth-shattering roar, as if it was pleased with its entrance.

“Lord Shesso-maru of the Western Lands, meet The Holy Black Dragon, Nightfire.” The dragon gave a small snort of acknowledgement to Shesso-maru. “We shall ride.”

Shesso-maru nodded, as did Nightfire. “We ride.”

 

~Celest's P.O.V.~

Celest could hear Nightfire's roar.

“What was that?” demanded Miroku.

“Nothing Alex, had merely summoned Nightfire, her Black dragon.” Silver replied, as if it was something that is common.

“A black dragon? Aren't they dangerous?” Asked Sango in a worried tone.

Celest merely laughed. “No, not most anyways. Black dragons are actually one of the most solitude dragons around. They won't attack unless provoked.”

“She come with a guest. Keade?” Silver requested.

“Yes child?” Keade asked.

“Is there a hut for us. Three separate ones?” Asked Silver.

“Aye. Fallow me.” Keade instructed.

“Why three separate huts Silver?” Asked Kagome.

“You shall see.” Was Silver's only response.

A black and red dragon landed gently in the rice fields. Upon the dragon was Alex her top over kimono gone, and a shirtless

Shesso-maru limp with pain behind her.

“Him!” Yelled InuYasha.

“InuYasha.” Alex replied calmly. “He is here for healing not battle.”

“Then why here?” Inu-Yasha retorted angrily.

“InuYasha, I bear no ill will. Nether does he. So long as he is under my care, no harm will come of this. Silver-san, do we have board?” Asked Alex.

“Yes.” Silver replied calmly, her face empty of emotion.

“Good, can you take me there?” Alex dismounted, Nightfire caught the weak Demon Lord with his tail.

“Of course Alex-sama.”

Alex dragged the `almost' knocked out Shesso-maru too a hut on the far side of town. Celest and the Inu-gang fallowed.

(Page: No pun intended.)

“Why do you fallow us?” Inquired Alex.

“I like to work in private.” She hissed at them. Silver showed Alex an empty hut. A room. A fire and a spare pile of clothes. And a bit of food in the corner.

“Thank you.” Alex bowed to Keade. “Bow you ass. Their being very nice you know.” Alexx hissed at Shesso-maru.

“I won't bow to a human.” He hissed back at Alex.

“Well, maybe I should let InuYasha kill you. I wouldn't lose any sleep.” Alex sneered.

“Fine.” Came Shesso-maru's response. He bowed his head.

Keade nodded. “Good enough. Get some rest before you try to move, that is my advice.” She nodded once more and walked off.

“See, that didn't hurt.” Alex smiled at Shesso-maru. Oddly enough Shesso-maru smiled weakly back. The Inu-Gang and Celest walked off. Unaware that in the shadows lurked a spy.

 

~Naraku's P.O.V.~

Naraku sat alone in his demon castle. He sat there watching through Kanna's mirror Alex help the Demon Lord Shesso-maru.
”That girl.” he whispered.

“What about her my lord?” Kanna asked.

“Kagura.” Naraku hissed.

“Yes my lord.” Came the cold reply. Kagura stood in the doorway. Glaring at Naraku with hate. Naraku frowned at this.

“Don't make me kill you Kagura.” He hissed.

Kagura stammered. “Sorry.” she regained her composer.

“What is it that you want this time?” She asked her voice brimmed with venom.

“Bring me the one that they call Alex. She intrigues me.” He said staring at the picture of Alex's face smiling at Shessomaru.

“He is not worthy of one so fair and powerful as she. Bring her to me. And do not fail.” he hissed his cold red eyes fixed upon hers.

“Yes my lord.” Kagura disappeared with the wind.

“Kanna.”

“Yes my lord.”

“Steal her dragon's soul. I will have a use for the dragon's shell and soul in the future.”

“As you wish my lord.” Kanna disappeared into a silvery vapor.

“Oh, Alex, born of both bloods, how you shall serve me well.” He laughed. Not out of evil, not out of spite, but out of know he had her, no matter what.

 

~Alex's P.O.V.~

Alex laid the demon lord on the mat. He squirmed with discomfort.

“I must tell you why I needed privacy to heal you.” She twitched in discomfort. “Vampires heal with our touch or saliva or through sexual intercourse. Since I am half, I have to, how you say…uh…lick your wounds in order to heal them.”

Shesso-maru cocked any eyebrow. “No lies?”

“No lies.”

He sighed. “Then do what you must.”

“Forgive me.”

“I already have.” He whispered.
