Chapter 4- ?

 

 

It had been for days since the fight with Naraku's earth demon. Inuyasha had been completely healed by the next morning. Since Kagome was unharmed, she and Kaede tended to Sango, Miroku, and Kilala's wounds.

 

 

Inuyasha had sensed Kagome had been feeling down. He was standing near the door of the hut, just staring at her in the direction of the God tree. He knew she had been blaming herself for what happened to Lana. He walked over to her. Kagome just looked at him with a slight smile on her face. Inuyasha sat down beside her on the grass and kissed her on the cheek.

"Kagome stop blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault." he said trying to comfort her.

 

Kagome looked up into his golden eyes. "No. She got hurt trying to save Me." she cried. What she had just said made Inuyasha feel guilty.

"No. If anything it was my fault, Kagome. I should have protected you not her." He said as he looked into her eyes. He grabbed her to him and rested his chin on top of her head. Kagome rested her face on his chest and sighed.

"No it wasn't your fault Inuyasha," she said placing her hand on his chest as well. "I just hope we find her soon." Then she snuggled into his fire rat coat.

 

 

 

Sesshomaru walked down the hall of the northern wing of his castle. It was the guest wing and also where the woman he had found was resting at. When he got to the room he stepped inside and noticed that she was still asleep. She had been for four days straight. He walked over to the bed and sat down on an armchair that was next to the edge where the woman was laying.

 

 

He had been doing this everyday. Everyday Sesshomaru would come to this room and check to see if she had awakened. He stared at her sleeping form, noticing every inch of her. He also noticed that she had shifted from lying on her back to lying on her stomach and hugging her pillow. Sesshomaru saw the smile that had formed on her face. She was becoming more comfortable. He knew that it wouldn't be long before she awoke. He marveled at her demon appearance. He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. Then, she had begun to stir from his touch.

 

 

Her eyes began to open slowly. Ice grey ones looking into his golden ones. She blinked a few times before she actually came to realize that she wasn't asleep anymore and that she was looking into Inuyasha's full-blooded demon brother.

 

 

"AHHHHHHH!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Where am I, what am I doing here and..." she looked down at herself. Her clothes were gone and the only thing covering her chest was a few bandages, so she was practically naked. "Where the hell are my clothes you big perv!" she screamed as she grabbed the sheets to cover herself.

Sesshomaru smirked to himself as he prepared to answer all of her questions. "You are currently in my castle. I brought you here after I found you almost half dead and bloody in a river. And as far as to the whereabouts of your garments I had them discarded due to the fact that they were completely covered in blood."

Lana just looked at him suspiciously. "Well, answer me this. Why the hell did you save me, the girl who beat you, a great demon lord? Is there something you want in return or something or did you just decide to grow a heart from according to all the info your brother gave me on you and your hatred for humans and your high ego. Or is it that you want me in tip top shape so that you can kill me later."

 

Sesshomaru stared at her for a moment and said nothing. He'd keep his reasons to himself for now. He walked over to a closet on the other side of the room. Opening it he pulled out a gorgeous yellow kimono with red roses embroidered on it. "Here," he said tossing it to her. "You may wear this for now."

Lana looked at the cloth before her. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, she hadn't worn one of these since she was a little girl, she didn't remember how to put one on. "Um...I...thanks for the clothes...but I don't exactly know how to put this thing on correctly." she blushed. Slightly from the embarrassment of not knowing how to put on a kimono in a time where that's all they wore and also because she was afraid of whom exactly was supposed to show her how.

Sesshomaru noticed the way that she blushed and he wanted see what else he could do to make her blush. He still found that he desired her, even more so since he kissed her at the pool. Her scent of arousal and her taste in his mouth only made him hunger for more.

"Well I could either shoe you how myself..." he said making his way to the bed. He didn't stop when he heard the warning growl she gave him. "Or I could have one of my female servants come up and do it for you."

 

Lana turned her face away from him and gave him a hmpf "I rather you call up a servant than ever lay your hands..." she stopped when she realized that he only had one arm. She actually felt sort of bad for saying that. “Eh…sorry. Just call up a servant please."

 

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her. “This Sesshomaru did not ask for your sympathy. I may have one arm, but I can assure you that I am as capable as any creature with two and more. You may come down and eat lunch when you are dressed." He found it very irritating yet amusing that she would consider his feeling of his missing arm and apologize for her cruel remark. He managed to do quite well without his left arm. He walked out of the room and had a servant go up to her and help her with her dressing.

 

After what seemed like an eternity, the servant had finally taught Lana how to correctly dress herself. "Please let me escort you to the dining area my lady." said the servant. She led Lana down the castle stairs and to the dining area where Sesshomaru had been waiting for her. Next to him was a little girl. A human girl for that matter.

Sesshomaru was amazed at how she looked. In his eyes it was a plain kimono. He walked over to her and took her hand so that he could escort her to her seat. She jerked her hand away form him The demon lord was taken by surprised at her sudden reaction to his touch.

"Don't touch me. I don't believe I gave you permission to do so!" she snapped at him.

 

This made his blood boil. How dare she try and reject his touch. And in his own home no less. "Well, I've already done that wench." he snarled.

 

Lana was about to give him a piece of her mind but thought about the consequences of her actions should she anger him. He could kill her. Especially since she was still healing. And he had saved her, even though she was still confused as to why. She looked down at the little girl. "And who might you be little one." Lana said, avoiding any conflict with the Taiyoukai in front of the girl.

"I'm Rin." The little gave her the brightest smile she had ever seen. Not the type of cheery mood you would expect a human child under the care of a demon lord to have.

 

"Hi Rin I'm Lana," she said. She turned her head to look at Sesshomaru still standing behind her. "Well are we going to eat or are you just going to stand there and look all high and mighty?" She said with a grin, giving him a look that said, `This is far from over asshole.'

Sesshomaru replied with a look of his own that said, `You have no idea bitch.'

 

Until next chapter!
