Chapter 4- Sleepwalker


Chandra felt so much better after her shower. She had developed a headache halfway through the evening, and wanted nothing more than to go to bed and sleep a couple of hours. She could still smell the stench of the man's cologne who had sat next to her. She grabbed the dress;meaning to hang it up out in the garden to air out; her hair brush, snapped off the light and opened the door. She physically jumped when she was confronted with the sight of Sesshomaru sitting in the middle of her bed, sheet draped so that it covered the most interesting parts. "Oh damn, this man is dangerous in more ways than one."she thought as her eyes drank in the male perfection in front of her. She plastered a smile on her face and said,"I'm so sorry to wake you, Sesshomaru-sama. But I got sat beside a "gentleman" who seemed to think it was okay to bathe in cologne instead of soap and water. The stench has given me such a headache, and my dress still reeks, so if you will excuse me?"

Sesshomaru almost laughed at that comment, understanding what she meant perfectly. He took his time looking her over, enjoying the sight of the woman standing in a pink cotton robe that left little to the imangination. She had put it on while still damp and it clung in all the right places. When he finished his perusal her face had gone bright red, but her eyes had taken on a haunted look, and her delightful scent was mixed with fear. He instantly regretted looking at her like that. He should have known better, and suddenly angry at himself, he could only nod at her.

Chandra released a breath, she didn't even realize she was holding, and practically ran across the room and out the doors. She leaned against them after they were shut and took a few shaky breaths to calm herself. She walked over and hung the dress up, sat down on the chaise and started to brush out her hair. She couldn't figure out why he looked at her like that. Kagome had told her Sesshomaru hated humans, thinking they were beneath them. That's why she had shut him out earlier, not wanting to piss him off. She stood back up, reached behind the chaise and grabbed her blanket and pillow. She slipped off her robe, lay down and went to sleep. As soon as sleep claimed her, Jon appeared in her dreams.

CHANDRA POV:

She was laying alone in bed, and suddenly Jon was there. "Come on, wifey.", he said, "We have to prepare." He stood up and pulled her to her feet. Behind him stood the MAN as she began to call him. He was saying something, but again, she couldn't hear him. She let Jon lead her to the bedroom door, but she stopped him. "Don't worry, we won't wake him.", he said.

He went in and stood by while she opened the hidden door, then the MAN pointed at what he wanted. Jon looked at her, "Get your .357 and all the rounds you have, and open the rifle safe. I'll show you what I want. OK?" She did as she was bid, but stopped and said,"Jesus Christ, Jon why do I need all this? You said this little girl needed help, not Rambo." Jon looked at her and laughed.


Suddenly Jon's face grew serious, "I love you, baby. Remember that. Hear me out before you snap, OK? You have to pack to go with them. You have to go. It's the only way we can be together, and the girls miss you. So, please, go. Don't question this." She looked at him, but turned and started getting clothing. He let out a sigh, and said, "Pack light." "Oh, Don't be an ass munch. I know how to pack light, thank you , very much.", she said. "Tenny's or Moc', baby?", she asked. Jon looked at the MAN. Turned to her and said,"Boots."

That set Chandra off, she sat down and refused to listen to him, and that demon behind him was growling so loud. Chandra could hear it, and started threatening him. "Why me? He thought.", but shrugged and gave in to her demands. She jumped up giving him a smart ass comment, secure in her victory, was off fto finish her packing. She gathered all her toiletries and added them to the pile on the bed. Grabbed a bag, and ran off to the kitchen, before he could change his mind. Her husband and the MAN, hot on her heels.

She collected the herbs and things she thought she might need, and stuffed them in the bag she brought with her. The MAN stepped in front of her. "He said it's time. Let him in", Jon told her. Typical Chandra had to be such a "LIberated" woman and want to be asked, not told. "My pushy little bitch.", Jon thought,"Wouldn't have her any other way." She finally backed done and let the Inutaiyoukai possess her body.


SESSHOMARU POV:

He lay in bed listening to her move around next door. He heard her lay down and listened to her breathing even out as she fell asleep. He was still metally kicking himself for causing her distress, when the door suddenly opened, and there stood a very nude Chandra. His eyes widened at the sight and his body reacted to her instantly. He growled slightly. Her eyes were open, but he could tell she wasn't awake.

She walked over to a bookcase and grabbed at a book there. He heard a slight click and watched as the whole front of the bookcase swung open to reveal a weapons cache. His eyes widened when he saw the array of bows and crossbows hanging there. "Kami," he thought,"she could start a war with all this." He watched as she chose a compound bow, 2 quivers of arrows, a crossbow and various bolts to use with it. She carried them to the bed and dumped them at the foot of the bed. She walked back over and grabbed a key hanging there. She closed the false door and walked back to the bed. She knelt in front of the nightstand, and slipped the key into a cleverly camoflauged hole. It popped open to reveal a gunsafe, she pulled out the gun she had earlier, about ten boxes of ammunition, and a second key. Then gun and ammunition joined the bow and crossbow.

She turned and walked to a closet across the room, opened the door, and knelt in front of a second gun safe. It opened to reveal a row of rifles, she pulled out an M40A3 sniper rifle with a 40mm site attached to it. Slinging it over her shoulder, she grabbed about 5 boxes of ammunition and a gun cleaning kit, reached in beside the safe and grabbed a soft-sided carry case for the rifle, a backpack and two black nylon gym bags. Suddenly she turned and said, "Jesus Christ, Jon why do I need all this? You said this little girl needed help, not Rambo." Again she added what she had to the ever growing pile. She turned and started grabbing clothing out of drawers, tossing them to the bed. A pair of her underwear hitting Sesshomaru squarely in his stunned face. "Oh, Don't be an ass munch. I know how to pack light, thank you very much." , she snapped.

"This woman is preparing a war, and she's sound asleep! ", he thought. "Tenny's or Moc's baby? Are you crazy? Not boots, they'll weigh me down. I'm already weighed down enough, and I haven't got the herbs I need yet. I won't know anything there and will need something until I learn.", she paused, as if listening. " Well, what if someone got hurt? I wouldn't know what to use to stop bleeding or anything. I can't take my herbs, I don't go." She turned slightly as if speaking to someone else,"No. FUCK YOU, now listen to me. Stop your fucking growling or I'll punch you!", she balled her fist. "On this I will NOT give in. I'm doing every thing that is asked of me, but I'll NOT give up what I am. I heal, I need these things to do that." She sat down on the bed with a huff. Sesshomaru gave a small snort, he was seeing another side to this woman. A willful, stubborn side and he was a little glad that he was not on the recieving end of that tirade.

Suddenly, she jumped up. She smirked,"Huh, Knew you'd see it my way!" and flounced off to the bathroom. She came back presently with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, new toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, towels, washcloth, and body scrubby. Onto the pile of weapons and clothes they went. She snatched up one of the gym bags and headed out the door. Sesshomaru decided to follow, just in case the monk was up wandering around.


He followed her into the kitchen, and saw her walk into a pantry off of it. She come out with various baggies filled with dried herbs, a couple of jars, feathers, sage, and other miscellanious items. "Yes, I think that's everything.", she said packing the items into the bag. "I said I'd let you. Don't be pushy. When I'm ready. HAHAHAHAHA, You really think you can just do that?", she demanded. "Bitch Goddess to you, since you are being such an ASS!", she said, but her tone and expression told Sesshomaru that she was playing with who ever she was talking with.


Chandra suddenly whirled around and looked Sesshomaru in the eye. "Sesshomaru", she said, but it was not her voice coming out of her mouth. His composure dropped completely, he was floored. Father's voice was coming out of this woman! "Listen carefullly, and don't interupt. I don't have much time.", he said," This woman requires your protection. She is very fragile and special, and she needs to live. She is the last of her line, and must do her duty. Tell her that someone comes tomorrow night, to be prepared. She'll know what to do." Sesshomaru looked at him and said,"Inuyasha won't like this." His father answered," I know, but she will never accept Inuyasha's protection. She sees him as a pup. Naraku must be wiped out, he gains power daily. She can be a trusted ally, she has her own reasons for his death. Get her to teach you about her guns, they are more accurate than the matchlocks coming your way now. I must go now her body is tired and needs rest." Chandra's body started to fall to the floor, he caught her just before she hit. She was out cold, her breathing and heart seemed normal though. He tossed her up onto his shoulder, grabbed the bag, and headed back to her room.

He looked at his bed and snorted. He wasn't cleaning up this mess, she could in the morning. I'll just start my protection early he thought. He carried her through to the garden and laid her down on the chaise. She shivered slightly when he put her down, from the loss of warmth. He looked down and his lips curled into an almost smile. He lay down beside her and grabbed the blanket covering them both. He turned his back and went to sleep.
