Chapter 3- Getting Acquainted

 

 

The group began to walk to Kaede's village after the little scruffle between Sesshomaru and Lana. Inuyasha had to drag Miroku's unconscious body...he was apparently being a very bad boy. Kagome and Lana were a few feet behind them catching up with each other. "So...what's up with you and dog boy here Kagome?" Lana asked her, giving Kagome a sly look. She had noticed the way he acted around her cousin. He was quite the possessive type. She knew that there might be a stronger bond than friendship between these two.

 

"What! Nothing! Why would you ask me that...you just seen him today!" Kagome said a bit too nervous for Lana's well known knowledge on teenage crushes.

 

"Whoa. I didn't mean if you two were a couple, I was merely asking why you were hanging out with this demon." Lana laughed. "I was only worried about you safety, jeez, no need to have a cow!" 'It's obvious that she likes this dude, just leave it to me to give them the push they need' Lana smirked to herself.

Kagome sighed in relief, "Oh...well it's a long story, you see I...

By the time Kagome had finished telling Lana about how she ended up 500 years in the past of Feudal Japan, and met Inuyasha, they were at the village and were approaching Kaede's hut. Inuyasha had already brought Miroku insde.

There was one thing about Kagome's story that unnerved Lana though. 'Who the hell does this Kikyo person think she is using my cousin's face. If she's dead than how can she be here? Is she the reason that's keeping Kagome and dog boy from hooking up. Well she better not show up because I'm getting these two together no matter what. Ex-girlfriend or not.' As Lana stepped inside the hut, she saw the one she knew as Inuyasha leaned up against a wall, a small boy with a fluffy tail next to him, an old woman, a young girl, and a weird, but adorable looking cat.

The old woman sighed, "Poor Miroku, ye never learns."

The young girl shook her head in disgust, "It appears that he has asked yet another girl to bare his child."

"Hey guys!" said Kagome. "Meet my cousin Lana."

"Hi," Lana laughed with her arm behind her head, "I'm afraid that I'm the one who knocked your friend out, sorry 'bout that"

"It's no big deal, he always ends up like this." said the little boy. "Hi I'm Shippo, and those are Kilala, Sango, Kaede and...that stupid mutt over there is Inuyasha."

BAM!

"Oww! That hurt!"

"I am not stupid!", Inuyasha yelled as he took his foot off of Shippo.

"It's nice to meet you all...but who's that?" Lana asked pointing to the unconscious monk.

"Oh that's Miroku, a.k.a. lecherous monk." Kagome joked.

Right then Miroku began to stir, "I resent that reference." He groaned.

Everyone laughed. Lana took a seat next to Kagome. "So who was that hot, rude guy I beat up and what's his deal anyway?"

"Oh, that was Sesshomaru, he always pays us a visit now and then..." explained Miroku.

"You see he's Inuyasha's brother..." Kagome started.

"Half-brother!" Inuyasha corrected.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Whatever, any way, their father gave them both swords but Sesshomaru wants Inuyasha's because he can't use his own."

"Wait one moment,...did ye just say ye fought the great demon Lord Sesshomaru?", Kaede asked in both disbelief and amazement.

"Yeah...kinda." Lana answered. “He sort of pissed me off.” `He was still hot.'

All was silent. Then they all began to laugh their asses off. "But ye are human." Kaede said still in shock. "Yeah,...well...about that. I'm a half-demon. My mother was a miko. I'm probably different from the hanyou you all have seen. In my time, hanyou will evolve and learn to alternate between their human and demon side. It was like a survival transformation, so that we could survive. That's what my father says anyway. I didn't even know that I was a hanyou until I was thirteen. My mother placed concealment spells on me until I was old enough to train my powers and understand what I was.”

"That's amazing!" shouted Shippo. “You're just like Inuyasha, only cooler…and prettier.”

"Yes indeed, I've never heard of such and I'm a demon exterminator." said Sango.

.

"Well I don't see a problem. You stood up to my ass of a brother and that's all you need to gain my respect." Inuyasha stated. He looked over to Kagome who gave him a smile to show him that she was clearly impressed at the mature remark that he said. "You can stay for as long as you like."

"Thanks. I think I kind of like it here. It's not like I have school or anything since I graduated last week." Lana happily stated. This year in Japan wouldn't be as boring as she thought is would be. She was 500 years in the past! How cool was that, minus the fact that there was no running water. But she could always use the well to go back to her time like Kagome had said.

"Oh my gosh! School! I almost forgot I have a final tomorrow!", Kagome screamed. She grabbed her stuff and ran out of the hut towards the well. Inuyasha ran after her. They could be heard outside.

"Get back here wench!"

"SIT!"

"Argh!"

"Those two must really like each other." Lana smiled.

Miroku merely sighed. "You have no idea."

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

About two months later...

"Wow Lana, you've been a big a big help in our search for the jewel shards!" Shippo said as he jumped on her shoulder.

"Yeah, Inuyasha doesn't need the Tetusiega anymore, not when we can rely on your strength." Miroku teased the hanyou with a smirk. He turned their dinner over in the fire.

 

"Feh." But inside, Inuyasha smiled. Lana had been a help not only with fighting demons. The two months that had passed had been Kagome's summer vacation. With her no longer needing to leave for school, they both had time to grow closer together. Inuyasha had been receiving advice from Lana on how to be 'nice' and 'gentle' to Kagome. Just two weeks ago he had told her how he felt about her and they kissed for the very first time. So Inuyasha has been a bit patient with everyone due to the fact that he felt that he was in fucking heaven.

Lana smiled at Inuyasha. She was glad she could help. She really liked it here in the Feudal Era. But, regardless of how much she liked it, the regular habit to bathe everyday had become a need to bathe at least twice a day. It was hot, humid, and she had found herself covered in demon guts and blood more often. Standing up, she stretched and informed everyone that she was going to bathe, grabbing a towel and some change of clothes.

 

Lana walked through the trees for a while. She knew that there was a hot spring nearby but that wasn't what she was looking for. `It's too hot for some damn bath in a hot spring.' Soon she had come across a pool of water with a flowing waterfall behind it. The moonlight shone brightly in the dark water and she slowly made her way to the pool's edge. Carefully she bent down to feel the water in her hand. It was cool. “Perfect.” As she stood she began to strip herself of her clothing, unbeknownst to her, she was not alone.

 

He watched her as she bent down to feel the water, quietly waiting in the dark shelter of the trees. He could not keep his eyes off of her. As she discarded her clothing, he took in her body and was quite pleased at what he saw. For two months his mind had been on the creature before him. A creature he should hate yet found himself fascinated with. He told himself that he had been waiting for his chance for when he would kill her, but that was before the dreams. Those vivid dreams of her beneath him, clawing him as she moaned his name. Sesshomaru was utterly disgusted with himself for feeling the lust that he felt for her, for a hanyou. He stepped out of the trees. Tonight it would end.

 

He saw her as she dove into the water. Seconds later, she emerged; her back arched accenting her small waist as she flipped her head back. She looked like a water nymph. After washing, she began to retreat out of the water. Swimming towards the edge, she reached for her towel to wipe her face, unaware of the demon above her. Sesshomaru smirked as she reached out only to grab his pants leg. She even wiped her face with it, but then she felt a foot. Feeling some more she felt a leg. Finally she looked up and was greeted by a pair of gold orbs.

 

By the time Lana registered exactly who it was above her, she barely let out a gasp as she found herself being grabbed by a clawed hand, yanked out of the water, and pinned between a tree and a demon. She had managed to transform and gold met silver once again. She cursed herself for not being in her demon form before. `It takes to long to wash all of my hair in this form.' “Let me go.”

 

Sesshoamru said nothing. He simply continued to stare down at her which made her blush a little. She was so tightly pinned she could do nothing but talk him into releasing her. `Dammit, now he wants to show off his strength. I can't even move him. And I'm naked!' Lana thought to herself. “Uh…look, I know you're pissed about me, um, hitting you. But I don't think right now is a good time for a rematch, you know…with me not being decent and all.” Still he said nothing, his gaze never moving.

Lana growled in annoyance. “Hey! Did you hear me!?” Suddenly he began to decent towards her head. She gulped when he stopped less than an inch from her face, blushing madly. “Uhh…what are you…”

 

“I could end your pathetic life right here.” His voice was cold and deadly. “I should end your pathetic life right here.” His breath was hot against her lips and Lana felt as thought she just might die if he kept doing that.

“Then, then why don't you?” she asked breathlessly.

Taking her by surprise, he closed the distance between them and pressed his lips against hers. A strangled gasp escaped Lana's lips and Sesshomaru, not the type to pass up given opportunities, shoved his tongue into her mouth. His appendage seeking out hers and then gently sucking on it. She moaned at his action, losing herself in the kiss. He tasted her, and found that she was delicious. The scent of her sudden arousal hit nose and he slowly pulled away.

Lana didn't realize that her lips were still parted until she opened her eyes to see him looking down at her. And if she didn't know any better she'd swear he was grinning. Her eyes widened as he licked his lips in the most erotic way.

“Because this Sesshomaru desires you.” He responded to her previous question before he had given her that mind blowing kiss. Lana could not find words to reply back to him. She found herself released and just like that he was gone.

 

She stood there, naked in the moonlight, the moment replaying in her mind. Her fingers touched her lips briefly, remembering the sensation that she had felt. “What the fuck?”

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

 

"I love to be able to be in my demon form and kick ass like this!" Lana shouted in joy. She was now in her demon form and wore a black tank top with black low waist shorts and black sneakers. Two weeks had pasted since her encounter with Sesshomaru. For sixteen days she could not get him out of her mind. `Bastard.' She knew that she'd be seeing him again and when she did she'd have a few choice words for him.

 

"Yeah, well wait until you fight Naraku, then you'll really be exhausted." Shippo joked. No one laughed, as they all knew just what fighting Naraku was really like.

 

Brought out of her thoughts about Sesshomaru, Lana sighed. "I've heard so much about this Naraku guy! I'm getting bored with just hearing about him. He's probably heard of me by now so why does he wait to strike? Maybe the wimp is just scared." Lana laughed.

 

"Ku,ku,ku...not scared,...just waiting for the perfect time to attack." said a very mysterious voice.

 

Everyone tensed up. Inuyasha jumped protectively in front of Kagome. The others stood on gaurd. "Who the hell is that!" Lana asked anxiously.

 

"It's Naraku!"

"Yes and I've brought you all a small present since your new addition is so anxious to test what I can do."

The trees began to rustle and the ground began to shake. Suddenly a youkai appeared form out of the ground. "It's an earth demon!" Sango warned.

"I'm known as Mariyama!" It growled. It raised its hand and slammed it down on the ground. The force shook the ground and created a huge crack. Lana grabbed Miroku and Sango while Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and Shippo. They jumped out of the way as the giant crack spread over to them.

 

"That's not all I can do weaklings!" the demon yelled. Huge spikes grew out from its body and dispersed out in great numbers with great speed. One of them grazed Inuyasha's shoulder and sent him flying a few feet backwards into a tree.

 

"Argh!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted as she ran over to his aid.

 

"Kagome look out!" shouted Miroku as he tried to dodge the several spikes shooting out of the earth demon. Kagome gasped as she turned and saw a spike headed straight towards her. "Kagome!" Lana used her demon speed to get to her. She was able to push Kagome out the way but the spike had gone through her left shoulder. Lana cried out in pain as she fell on Kagome.

 

"Lana you saved me...oh no you're hurt!"

"Hey...it's no big...ehe...ughn!" Lana flinched.

 

"Kagome are you alright?", Inuyasha asked as he made his way over to them. "Yes I'm fine but Lana's hurt pretty bad." Inuyasha unsheathed the Tetusiega. "Don't worry this demon is toast!"

 

He ran towards the demon and dodged the onslaught of spikes that were aimed for him. He raised the Tetusiega and threw it straight at the demon's head. The demon shrieked as the Tetusiega ran through its head. It collasped onto the ground, however, the impact from when it hit the ground created a tremor that caused the earth to separate.

 

moved out of the way of the separated earth except Kagome and Lana who were nowhere to be found. There was a huge hole in the place they were just in. "Kagome!" Inuyasha ran over to the hole and looked down it. It appeared there was an underground water source below. As he looked further down he saw Lana holding onto a ledge with her wounded left arm and Kagome's hand in the other.

"Inuyasha, I'm going to throw Kagome up so be ready to catch her." Lana called up. She was struggling to hold both of them up with her arm that was wounded. She was losing blood and strength in her arm. She could also feel the ledge giving way because it was weak from being damp.

"Okay, I'm ready!" Inuyasha called back.

 

Lana threw Kagome up with as much strength as possible. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and hugged her desperately. Suddenly, as Lana went to pull her own self up, the ledge gave way and she went with it. "No!" Kagome screamed as Inuyasha tried to hold her back. All they could do was watch her fall into the waters below. The rest of the group was in bad shape as well.

 

Kagome cried into Inuyasha's chest. "We have to find her Inuyasha, we just have to!" she and Sango were her best friends and she would do anything for them. "Don't worry Kagome, we will.." he said as he stroked her hair. Inuyasha had become good friends with Lana also. Shoot, it was because of her that he gained the courage and faith in himself to tell Kagome that he loved her. "We'll find her I promise...I owe her that much."

"La, la, la, la ,..."

 

"Rin, that is enough, now be silent."

 

"Yes Sesshomaru-sama!"

 

"It's about time." whispered Jaken.

Sesshomaru had been searching for Inuyasha and his friends for two weeks. Everytime time he would get to where they were he would just miss them. He never had trouble running into them before. He held a piece of black cloth in his hand that he had found in the place he last smelled their scent. The cloth had that woman's scent as well as some of her blood on it.

'She thinks that she can hide from me?' he thought to himself.

"Sesshomaru-sama...I'm thirsty...and so are AhUn." said Rin.

"Very well then," he said. He sniffed the air and smelled a river nearby. “Jaken take Rin in that direction and..." His eyes grew wide. He smelled blood, a very familiar scent of it. He took the cloth in his hand and sniffed it. His thought had been correct. It was hers. Sesshomaru ran so fast in the direction of the scent that his three 'companions' didn't see where he went.

 

"No! Sesshomaru-sama left me here with this human girl again!" cried Jaken.

 

When Sesshomaru got to the river, he didn't like what he found. Sure enough, the woman that he had been searching for was there, but she was in bad shape. The top half of her body lay over a rock while the rest of her was still in the water. Her head was faced down and her hair was fanned out over the rock. The spike had been removed from her shoulder and lay beside her while her blood flowed into the river.

 

Sesshomaru bent down and turned her over. `Is the wench dead?' he thought. He heard her breathe. He picked her up and returned to where he left his "companions". "Who is that Milord?” asked Jaken. Sesshomaru placed her on AhUn.

 

 

"Come Rin, come Jaken, we are returning back home immediately." Sesshomaru announced.
