Thanks for the great reviews. I appreciate them.
Chapter 11
Sesshomaru was still angry. The wench would not leave his mind to give him even a moments peace since their meeting. Even when he closed his eyes all he could see was her beautiful face and the green eyes that changed from the color of the jade she was named for to a hard dark emerald when enraged. Noone had ever stood up to him as she did and he was infuriated that she didn't show fear. Who was she really because no human could display the power she did. He intended to find out and nothing would stop him. Then he caught it the scent of lavender after a rain, her scent, he would confront her now.
Jade knew he was coming and sat waiting patiently in a small field of white flowers watching the fireflys dance all around her. He would be her any minute now and she began to prepare herself mentally for the meeting.
There she was and Sesshomaru had to hold back a low growl as ahe looked upon the woman that resembled a fallen angel. She was breathtaking sitting in a sea of white blossoms with the fireflys dancing all around her and lighting up in her midnight hair. Her eyes sparkled as she watched them dance,seemingly, just for her. She looked at him and he was lost in the vision she made. He mentally shook himself and started to walk towards her.
Jade watched him come closer and judged his mood. She could feel the waves of irritation coming from him, but also slight attraction. 'Ok, thats definately unexpected,'she thought. He stood in front of her as she remained where she was also watching him. "Good Evening Lord Sesshomaru. I assume you where looking for me."
"I want to know who and what you are?"
"I told you at our last encounter. I am Jade and a miko."
"Where do you come from?"
"A village close to the mountains that no longer exists,"she answers.
"How is it that you are so skilled and powerful?"
"I imagine like any other. I have been trained for as long as I can remember and have had many different sensais. Is that not how you became skilled and powerful? If there is an easier way I'd love to know."
She was taunting him now and he did not like it. "Your answers are vague and I don't believe you are human. You have to much power to be human."
"Believe what you want, but I was born human."
He could not detect a lie in that statement, but she was still hiding something. "What are you hiding?"
"My secrets are my own and no concern of yours. Do not push to far or this conversation is over Lord Sesshomaru."
"You deny a lord his answers."
"I deny anyone who meddles in my personnal affairs especially when it doesn't concern them."
"You do realize I could kill you in an instant for your disobedience."
"I realize you could try, but I'm not easily gotten rid of." She stood to face him. "I have answered as many personnal questions as I'm going to and it is getting late."
Sesshomaru just watched as she gracefully stood and could no longer deny she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He'd been trying to deny it ever since he had first seen her face several days ago. Her silver gown left her shoulders bare except for two thin straps and sleeves that flowed gracefully. The silk showed off all of her perfect curves and he couldn't help notice the fullness of her breasts and the way moreof her creamy thighs showed when the wind blew in the right direction. Her hair blew gently around hr body showing her slender neck and felt his blood stir and heat from the goddess in front of him. "Where do you think your going?"
"I often enjoy taking a short walk to clear my mind it helps me to sleep easier."
"You walk at night unarmed with youkai who would kill you for pleasure. You are a very foolish human indeed."
"Oh, I'm never unarmed. I can call upon my weapons at any time and if I'm not mistaken you are one of the dangerous youkai that would love to kill me. The only reason you haven't is because your curiosity won't allow it. At least not yet."
"What makes you so sure I won't just kill you?"
"You are an intelligent man and like the others you want to know how powerful I am and if you could actually use me to your benefit. I will tell you as I told them, I have enough of my own duties to attend to and I will not be used by anyone."
Sesshomaru growled low and dangerously. "What others?"
Jade watched as he took on a deadly aura and slowly gathered her power in case of attack. "There have been many others over the years who have sought me out for different reasons. Some sought to control me by force, others thought they could control me if they were my mate and some sought me for council."
Sesshomaru went rigid at how many others may have tried to use her. He wasn't a fool. He had seen the battle with Kagura and was impressed at the ease in which she dispatched the wind witch. It only made him more determined to discover her origins. "So why do you travel with the half breed's group now?"
"If Naraku were to gain control of the shikon's powers to you really think that he'd stop at wishing to be a full demon? He wants to control everything and if that happens he will destroy all of Japan. I won't allow that to happen." She looked at the sky and noticed that the sun would rise in a few more hours. "It's late and I wish to get a few hours sleep so good night Lord Sesshomaru."
"I'm not done with you yet."
Jade looked at him. "I am done answering your questions for the night and tomorrow I will resume my training."
He couldn't believe she turned her back to him, again. The only thing he could see was red as he spun her around slamming her back against a tree and held her hands above her head. He pressed his own body against hers to keep her from moving and couldn't help, but notice how she molded perfectly to his body. "You will not turn your back on me wench."
Jade was also now beyond furious not only had he thrown her into a tree, but he was trying to dominate her by pressing his body into hers. "I warned you last time abut disrespecting me,"she growled. The power she had gathered exploded from her body and threw him onto the other side of the clearing. She watched him flip gracefully in the air to land on his feet.
He watched as her eyes glowed silver with her rage. Her hair and gown blew furiously around hr body showing more of her body and he groaned at the sight. The power and defiance she showed only made him want to dominate and bend her to his will more. He had lost control when she turned her back to him and wondered how she managed to stir emotions in him when no other in centuries had been able to.
He had managed to piss her off again. She slowly walked towards him with her hands fisted in fury at her sides. "Who in the hell do you think you are? You may have every demoness in Japan throwing themselves at your feet, but all seven levels of hell will freeze before I do. You are lucky that Kagome hopes that you and Inuyasha will mend your differences or I would have blown you to the other side of Japan. This meeting is over."
He watched as she left again and waited for the barrier to fall. 'Don't think you get rid of me that easily Jade. You will bend to me. I only have to find your weakness. She is not afraid of me so force will not get the answers I seek. I will find another way.' He walked into the shadow and disappeared with a slight grin on his face. 'Never have I had a challange like this. It will prove interesting,' he thought.
Everyone at camp felt the power burst and was jerked from their sleep. They looked at Kagome when she groaned while putting her head in her hands. "Why does he have to keep pissing her off?" She looked at Inuyasha,"it's a genetic thing isn't it. That all men in your family just have to piss women off as much as possible. I swear sometimes you get some sort of sick pleasure from it."
Inuyasha narrowd his eyes at her. "What the hell is that supposed to mean and what the fuck was that?"
"That was Sesshomaru pissing off Jade. It's a good thing I asked her not to hurt him to bad. I swear you two are more alike than you realize."
"The hell we are. I'm nothing like that bastard,"yelled Inuyasha.
"Whatever Inuyasha. I'm going to calm her down before she changes her mind and decides to kill him anyway," said Kagome.
"I'll go with you,"said Sango.
They found Jade walking near a small lake trying to calm down mumbling about baka dogs and needing a leash. Kagome started laughing which earned her a glare from Jade. "Sorry, what happened this time?" Of course after Jade told them about her new encounter with the Lord of the West both women were shocked. "Are you sure that he was pissed and doesn't have his sights set on you?"asked Jade.
Sango looked at Jade. "He is a lord, Jade, he isn't used to being denied anything and your defiance could be seen as a challenge. He will try to make you submit to him."
"I know Sango. That's what tonight was about, but if he thinks I'll give in he's in for a shock. He'll be more determined now too." She looked t the sky. "It'll be sunrise soon lets get a little sleep. It's going to be a long day." Everyone got up and returned to camp unaware of how right Jade was.
