Chapter 6

His Protection

A short time later, Chandra and Sesshomaru were walking the same field they had met in. The dogs ran back and forth between them and the exciting scents they were finding everywhere. All, except Demon, who stayed at his master's side. Every once in a while, he would look at Sesshomaru like he wanted to take a nice hunk out of him, but not wanting to risk Chandra's displeasure, he didn't act on the impulse.

As they crested a hill, Sesshomaru was suprised at the scene before him. A vale, with a little stream, and a small forest surrounding it. Chandra looked up at him,"This is my favorite place. I come here when I need to think or clear my head. No one will bother us here, come." She went and sat down beside the stream, the dog followed and laid down beside her, putting his head on her lap. Sesshomaru sat down beside her, and all was quiet for a few minutes. Each enjoying the peace that this place invoked.


For once, Sesshomaru was stumped on how to start this conversation. He didn't want to push her away, she was his key to get home. Chandra looked at him,"I must apologize for ealier. I was just playing with you when I said I would sic my sisters on you. I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy." She gave him a small smile. "Hn," he responded, "This Sesshomaru can handle a few human women." Chandra threw back her head and laughed out loud, "You haven't met my sisters yet, Lord Sesshomaru. When they are together, they can be intimidating. They never do anything by themselves, they kinda gang up on you. Except Donna, you'll meet her later. She'll help me keep them at bay. Now, what did you want to talk about?"

He looked at her, and again had that feeling in his gut that she had brought about last night. He shook his head as if to clear his thoughts and said, "I would like to know how long you have been dreaming of Father, and how do you know him?" Chandra thought a moment and said,"I've been seeing him in my dreams about two months now. I've never seen or heard of him before, I don't even know his name, Jon does the talking, he just sort of stands there. It's the same dream, every night, Jon tells me that I have to help the young woman and her companions. He says if I do this, he and I will be together again and my babies , too." Her eyes swam with unshed tears.

She blinked away the tears and continued, "It was always the same until last night. Last night, Jon and your father were showing me what I needed to take with me. That's all I remember of it. The next thing I know I wake up in bed with you.", she gave him a wicked little grin. "Oh, and by the way,"she said, "I will get even for that trick."

Sesshomaru took a deep breath, choosing to ignore the comment,and looked at her. "I, too, have been having dreams. For about the same length of time. In my dreams, I see you asleep and dreaming. You talk to someone and sometimes you cry. I couldn't figure why I was dreaming of a human woman, but now I think I understand. You weren't just walking in your sleep last night, you were talking too." Chandra's eyes grew wide at his revelation, and said,"Well, I'll be saved." He continued, "You were arguing with my father last night. You told him you weren't going anywhere without the herbs you needed for healing. I think you are destined to return back in time with us, not to die as you told your Grandfather.


Chandra grew pale and dropped her head. "No, it's not true. Jon wouldn't lie to me. How can I go with you and not to him? He promised." Demon whined and nuzzled his nose against the side of her face, sensing her distress. Sesshomaru looked down at her bent head, "Father gave me a message for you, he said you will have a visitor tonight to be ready. It maybe you will join them once we defeat Naraku. I believe it's one of his descendants that hurt you and your family. It could be that Naraku devised this all, he takes great pleasure in causing pain. Either way, we must stop him, especially if he has figured a way to travel through time. Humans here are ill equipped to handle his particular brand of evil."

He could sense the war that Chandra fought within herself, again marveling at this woman's self control. She picked her head up and looked at him,"I'll do what I have to, and if this bastard is the one who did this to me. He's one dead mother fucker. I'll tell you something I've told no one else, I tortured Onigumo before I slit his throat. I think the authorities know, but they never brought charges against me for it. That's why I always say I'll be saved, because I'm damned for what I did. He begged me to stop and I just kept right on torturing him."

She gave him a cold little smile and said, "Well, let's go back. I have a ton of stuff to do before this party." She turned to leave, but glanced back at him, "Oh, by the way, you are gonna found how much of a bitch I am tonight. Just ignore me, and if I start drinking don't let Miruko touch me inappropriately." "Why?', he asked. " The last man that touched my ass when I was drinking got his arm broken in three places. Even my husband was a little afraid of touching me when I'm drunk. I get real nasty, real quick.", she responded. Sesshomaru shocked himself by laughing at her, and said,"Well maybe I'll join you drinking, that way I can forget about Miruko and watch him get a very hard lesson." She looked into his eyes and seeing a little twinkle there realized that he was playing with her. She laughed a little and whistling for the dogs, they headed back to the house.


By the time they got back, the lawn in front of the house had changed drastically. Tables had been set up, with canopies set over them to provide shade. Caterers ran back and forth setting up work stations, the bar, and buffet tables for the food. Music blared from speakers that were placed to provide the best sound. Sesshomaru flinched at all the noise, and Chandra saw it. "I'll get you and Inuyasha some earplugs, that should help with the noise.", she said to him.


Looking down at her, he thought that her grandfather had been right. "Not only was she beautiful outside, but there was a hidden beauty there as well." Part of him wished he could have met her before all the tragedy entered her life. "She would have been stunning.", he thought, envisioning her face and eyes filled with happiness. His groin tightened at the sight, "What the HELL are you thinking, this is a woman, a filthy human woman.", he berated himself. His youkai spoke up, "A filthy human woman she may be, but she is pretty; honorable; and strong-willed. She could put a few of those simpering demonesses we know to shame." "Hn", was the response his youkai got. She gave him a questioning look, but he shook his head and went inside. Chandra right behind him.

The noise level inside was just a bad as outside. Heading to livingroom he found everyone sitting looking like they had been hit by a tree. All, but Miroku, who held an icepack to his nose. Chandra took one look and said, "You grabbed my sister, Donna, Huh?" Kagome laughed,"How did you know?" "Well, Miruko has ice on his face. That means Donna punched him. Which means he had to touch her. She has a mean right hook, doesn't she?" Everyone laughed. Then suddenly, a massive reverb from the stereo equipment causing a high pitched squeal to be emitted from the speakers.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both covered their ears, but still looked to be in pain. Chandra looked sympathetic, "Come with me, my bedroom is sound proofed. It will be quiet there." Everyone followed her to the room that Sesshomaru slept in last night. After everyone was settled, Miruko looked to Chandra,"Chandra-san, may I ask you a question?" "Of course, Miruko.", she responded. He got this look like a cross between dreamy and lusty and said,"Why is your bedroom, what did you say? Oh, yes, soundproofed?" Chandra turned bright red and before she could respond, Sesshomaru had snatched up Miruko by the throat. " YOU will refrain from those types of questions to the lady, monk.", he said threateningly. "Oh, my!", Chandra said, "Lord Sesshomaru, I can handle the monk. He doesn't want to play with me. I was married to a man probably more perverse than he could ever be.", she giggled, "With a few words, I bet I could have him in a dead faint. But," she glared at Miroku,"That does NOT mean you have the right to speak to me like that. Remember this Monk, do something stupid and you won't have to worry about your "cursed" hand, I'll cut it off and," her eyes going icy," stick it up your ass." Miroku's white face went whiter, and he hoped Sesshomaru would just kill him. The look on Chandra's face caused a small shiver of fear to run through his body.


Inuyasha couldn't pass up the chance to try and rub Sesshomaru's nose in something. Especially if what he suspected was true. That his brother was attracted to a human. "Oi! Sesshomaru, put Miruko down. He only asked a question. You act like she's your woman or something.", Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face. Sesshomaru dropped Miruko and turned on Inuyasha. "For your information, brother, Chandra is under MY protection, and the monk was being offensive.", he said. There was a collective gasp from the group. Chandra didn't think she liked this at all.

"What do you mean I'm under your protection?", she demanded. Sesshomaru looked at her and said,"Father requested I offer my protection to you. He said you considered Inuyasha a pup, and wouldn't accept his. It only means that I will not let anyone harm you in any way." Chandra looked at Kagome, who nodded. Inuyasha interuppted with,"What do you mean Father asked you?" "Father spoke with me last night through Chandra. I know it was him, I heard his voice.", Sesshomaru said.


"Well I don't need protection in my own home. Please refrain from manhandling the guests this evening. You will hear a lot worse coming from my mouth tonight at some of the fools who will be here. I'll let you know if I need you. Agreed, Lord Sesshomaru?", she said, giving him a small smile, "Besides, you know about my secret weapon, We could always use that if necessary." Sesshomaru looked at her with a twinkle in his eye and said,"Oh yes THAT weapon. You must remember to show me where you hide it. Just in case." She gave him a bright smile, and nodded. That smile went right to his cold heart, and melted it, just a little.

Everyone in the room could only look at Sesshomaru, bantering with a human woman, in awe. None ever thought they would live to see this day. Black Elk crossed his arms over his chest and smiled knowingly.

Chandra was the first to recover,"If you will excuse me for a few moments. I want to make sure Donna doesn't need my help, and to get some earplugs for Sesshomaru and Inuyasha." After she left, Sesshomaru wondered around the bedroom. He stopped in front of her bookcase, and spying a leatherbound book that looked interesting, he grabbed it and sat down.

He was so shocked at the contents of the book, he almost dropped it. There was a picture of Chandra, she was nude, except for some extremely thin material wrapped around her body. Her hair had been pinned up and flowers intertwined in it. Her back was showing,but, she had turned her head to face the camera. She had an ethereal beauty, and he could feel a response to what he was seeing. He turned the page, and what he saw made him rock hard. Chandra laying on her back, come hither look on her face, her back was arched as if offering herself to him. The only thing covering her body was a stratigically place pink ribbon. He never noticed Chandra step in front of him, until the book snapped shut. "I see you found my husband's book. He was a amateur photographer and I was his favorite model, but I'd rather you not look any further.", she smiled softly at him, and took the book. He didn't argue, but decided he would get her to show him more later, or "Maybe the real thing.", his youkai interupted. Sesshomaru deemed not to answer that.


She tucked the book under her arm and turned to the others. It seems the guests are starting to arrive. If you would like to stay here you are more than welcome. If you want to join in the party, come with me. I have a table saved for us.
