Chapter 9-Passions Ignited

“We're back Kaede. Sorry we took so long, but I had to explain to my mom what happened to Johanna and she had us pack a lot of extra stuff.” Kagome and Inuyasha walk into the hut and notice Kaede, Shippo, and Kirara sitting around the fire. Kagome notices that Johanna, Sango, and Miroku are missing. “Where are the others?”

Kaede stokes the fire. “Sango and Miroku went somewhere to practice and Johanna went for a walk, but that was almost two hours ago. I am hoping she I with Sango and Miroku.”

Kagome looks outside and notices the sky getting dark. “I want to look for her. It's going to be completely dark soon and I don't think its safe for her to be out there alone.” She walks out of the hut and Inuyasha follows her. He picks up Johanna scent. “I smell Johanna's scent coming from that direction and I smell blood. Get on my back Kagome we have to hurry.”

They arrive at the clearing to find demon parts and blood everywhere. Inuyasha sniffs the air. He picks up the scent of Johanna and another demon. “Naraku was here and by the looks of things he had a herd of demons with him. It seemed he attacked Johanna, I'm picking up another scent: Sesshomaru.”

Kagome's eyes widen in horror. “You don't think she's dead do you?”

“I think Sesshomaru destroyed all the demons and then took Johanna.” Inuyasha sniffs the air again. “They went in that direction. To the west.”

“To his castle?” Kagome has a confused look on her face. “But why?”

“I don't know. Let's go back to the village to find the others. Maybe we can come up with something.” Kagome gets on Inuyasha's back. They arrive at the village the same time Sango and Miroku do.

“What took you guys so long?” Inuyasha asks as they enter the hut.

Miroku blushes and scratches the back of his head. “Uh. We got distracted. Sorry.”

“Well while you guys were `distracted' Kagome's friend was attacked by Naraku and kidnapped by Sesshomaru.” Inuyasha settles down next to the fire and tells them about everything they found. “We have to wait until morning to do anything because it's the night of the new moon.” As if on cue he turns into his human form (which I think is awesome!). “All we can do is plan and get some rest.”

They talk for another hour and then everyone settles down to sleep. Inuyasha notices Kagome looking towards the door of the hut. He sits next to her. “It's going to be alright. We'll find a way to save Johanna.”

“I know but I can't help feeling scared for her.” Kagome wipes tears of her face. “Why did Naraku attack her? What does Sesshomaru plan to do with her?”

Inuyasha puts her arm around her. “I don't know, but we will save her before anything bad happens to her. Now get some sleep. You won't be of any help to your friend if you're dead on your feet.”

“Okay.” Kagome sniffs and leans into him. She closes her eyes and falls immediately to sleep.

`I hope we do find her soon. I don't want to see Kagome unhappy.' With this last thought he closes his eyes and soon joins her in slumber.

Sesshomaru's Castle

Sesshomaru locks himself in his study for the rest of the night. When the sun rises he calls for Jaken.

“Yes master.” Jaken bows as he enters.

“I want you to take a message to my brother. Tell him I have the girl and he'll get her back when she's properly trained. Now go and hurry. I want you back before sunset tomorrow.”

“Yes master. What do you plan on doing with the girl?”

“She will begin her training today. Where is Rin?” Sesshomaru stands.

`I will never understand his infatuation with the dirty little human,' Jaken thinks. “She's in her chambers wit one of the servants.” He heads towards the door.

“Good now go.” Sesshomaru leave his study at the same time and goes towards Johanna's room. As he nears he hears a scream from within. He quickly opens the door to find Rin leaning over Johanna.

Johanna isn't fully awake when she opens her eyes. Her first reaction is to scream when she sees someone leaning over her. It takes her a moment to realize it's just a little girl. `She's cute,' Johanna think. This is when she notices Sesshomaru standing in the doorway.

“Rin,” he says. She notices his voice as cold as when he talks to everyone else. `Is this his daughter,' she thinks then mentally slaps herself in the fore head. `No you moron that isn't possible he's a demon remember.' She watches as Rin runs to him and wraps her arms around his leg.

“Good morning Lord Sesshomaru.” She looks up at him and smiles.

“Good morning Rin. What have I told about going into others' rooms without their permission?” He gently loosens her arms from around his leg and kneels until he is on her level. “Now I want you to go with Sika and play in the garden.”

“Okay Lord Sesshomaru.” She turns and bows to Johanna. “Rin was very happy to meet you.” She grabs Sika's hand who appears out of nowhere at the mention of her name and is lead to the gardens.

Sesshomaru turns toward Johanna with the cold look back in his eyes. “Breakfast will be brought to you. After you have eaten you will change your attire and meet me at the dojo. Servants will be with you shortly.” With this said he turns and leaves.

Before Johanna can respond two female servants enter her chamber closing the door behind them. One is carrying a try of food and the other a bundle of clothing. The one holding the tray with food steps forward, “Lady, the Lord ordered us to make sure you hurried with eating and dressing.”

Johanna is about to say something, but she notices the look in their eyes. `I guess they heard about what happened last night.' She decides to spare them the problems so she nods her head. “Okay I'll cooperate.” She could have sworn she heard a sigh coming from both of them.

As promised Johanna quickly eats the small breakfast and quickly got dressed. She notices the sleeves are shorter than the one Kaede gave her and the bottom is more like a pair of shorts. At her confused look the servants explain to her that she has on a fighting kimono. The bottom is black and the top is blue with a black dragon going around it. Johanna thinks it's beautiful. The servants signal for her to follow them to the dojo. They leave her at the door and the sight that meets her eyes causes her heart to skip a beat and her breathing to quicken.

Sesshomaru is topless practicing with the Tokijin. `Even with one arm he's hot,' she thinks. `He's not overly large like those bodybuilders I see on TV, but he's not gangly either.' She watches a little while longer until he suddenly stops with his back to her. “Are you going to continue gawking at me or are you ready to train?”

Anger quickly replaces the feeling of awe Johanna was feeling. “First of all I wasn't gawking and secondly I am always ready.” She makes her way across the dojo to a wall lined with weapons and picks up a small pair of daggers. After testing their weight she slips one in the front of her kimono and turns to face Sesshomaru. “Ready?”

Sesshomaru answers her by charging straight at her with his sword pointing in his direction. She easily dodges by flipping into the air and landing behind him. She senses him coming at her from behind and quickly dodges to the side. `Fore a guy with one arm he sure can put up quite a fight.' An idea suddenly pops into her head and she smiles. `I have a surprise for him.' The fight continues and she touches his left shoulder when ever she can. She stumbles and Sesshomaru takes this opportunity to push her over and lands on top of her. “You are a superb fighter, but you lost. What do you have to say?”

Johanna can only smile. “How do you like your arm?” He continues to stare at her. Her smile grows bigger and she just looks at his left arm.

Sesshomaru follows her gaze he can't believe what he sees. `My arm is back, but how?' He looks at her and sees she is looking at him with a goofy smile on her face. `It must have been her.' This is when he realizes the position they are in. He is laying completely on top of her and her hands are on his chest. His instincts begin to take over (I'm not talking about the demon one's either). His eyes and markings grow darker. He can feel himself harden with need. Johanna notices this and her breath quickens as she stares into his eyes. Something drives her to lightly scrape her nails across his chest. A low growling sound escapes his throat. She smiles at his reaction and places a kiss in the middle of his chest. Sesshomaru can't believe what she is doing to him. He can't take it anymore. He uses a hand to pull her head back crushes his mouth against hers. She moans into his making him grind hips into her.

Johanna can't think straight so she allows her instincts to take over. She wraps her arms around his neck and buries her hands in his hair sending tremors through his body. As his mouth leaves her mouth and starts a path down her throat, he uses one of his hands to open her top.

Suddenly the door to the dojo opens and Rin walks in. She stops at the sight of Johanna and Sesshomaru. “Lord Sesshomaru what are you doing?”

Sesshomaru stiffens on top of Johanna and swears under his breath. He can't believe he lost control and with a hanyou no less. He looks down to see if her chest is visible to Rin. A sense of relief passes through him but is quickly replaced by anger again. He looks down to see Johanna fixing her top and can smell her anger. He waits until she is finished before he gets up without bothering to help her.

She also gets up and goes to put the daggers back. She notices the one that was in her kimono is missing. She looks around and sees it lying next to Rin. Johanna remembers Rin's question and decides to answer before Sesshomaru afraid of what he might say. “We were training when I tripped and grabbed Lord Sesshomaru. I pulled him down with me and we were about to get up when you came.” As she passes him she sees a look of surprise on his face before it is quickly replaced with his emotionless mask. She grabs when hand with one hand then picks up the dagger with the other. She turns around and looks him straight in the eye before she throws the dagger at him. Of course he catches it. Johanna smiles and looks down at Rin. “I heard something about a garden earlier. Would you like to show it to me?”

“Yes, come. It's this way.” Rin pulls her hand and with that they leave Sesshomaru alone.
