Chapter Nine
 
Aniu glanced over at the sleeping pair. Rin looked so small and frail; Jaken looked like he was her protector. I guess in a sense he was. Aniu sighed and started removing the furs lying on top of her. When she stood, she rubbed her arms, warming herself against the chill evening. Despite the cold she started walking towards the forest. When she walked past Sesshoumaru, he opened his eyes and watched as she passed.
“Where are you going,” he asked.
“I'm just going to the river. You can come if you like.” Her voice was quiet and he thought he heard a tinge of sadness with in it.
She didn't even turn to look at him but just kept heading straight for the forest. He sighed and stood up from where he was sitting and followed after her.

Aniu stepped out of the forest with Sesshoumaru trailing not far behind. She stopped a couple feet past the forest and took in a deep breath. It came out shaky and Sesshoumaru noticed. He reached out to put his hand on her shoulder but she started walking towards the river. He dropped his arm and followed her. She stopped a couple feet away from the bank and sat down pulling her legs to her chest. He followed her lead and sat down beside her.
Aniu pulled her legs closer to her chest when he sat by her. He sat-lay-propped up on his left arm and his right leg bent and left leg straight out. His right arm draped over his right leg and his left hand grabbing his right wrist. His long silver hair was sprawled out behind him like a blanket covering the ground. He looked so beautiful and yet powerful in a frightening way.
“Sesshoumaru?”
“Yes Aniu.” Sesshoumaru said quietly.
“Did you really cry before? Did you really cry for me?”
Sesshoumaru was quiet and Aniu looked over at him pressing her cheek into her knees so she could see him. He turned his head and looked her in the eyes.
“Yes, I did.”
“Why?”
“Because I thought I was going to lose you.”
“But-why?”
Sesshoumaru just looked at her. He didn't know why.
Aniu turned away looking in the opposite direction. Tears threatened to fall from the brim of her eyes. She closed her eyes and sniffed quietly. Sesshoumaru could smell her tears whether they fell or not.
He reached out to her and moved her face back to where he could see it. When she could see him the tears overflowed and fell down her cheeks. He moved his thumb and wiped away the tears on one side of her face. She let go of her knees and reached out to his face. She traced the two magenta stripes on his face that made him a youkai. She pulled herself closer to him, tears still flowing down her face and Sesshoumaru's hand still wiping them away.
 
Hold on to me love, you know I can't stay long. All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid, Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms?
 
She leaned into him, their bodies only a hairs-breath apart. She kissed him soft and tenderly. He kissed her back with the same gentleness. She leaned in a little more so that they were touching in a line from shoulder to hip.
She pulled back and looked into his eyes, searchingly. Tears still shimmered on her face.
 
I can't change who I am. Not this time, I won't lie to keep you near me. And in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up. My love wasn't enough…
 
“Aniu-I love you.”
“I love you too Sesshoumaru.”
Sesshoumaru leaned in this time and kissed her as gently as before.
 
Blinding wall between us. Melt away and leave us alone again. Humming haunted somewhere out there. I believe our love can see us through in death…
* * * * *
From the bushes Naraku watched the two on the bank. He was disgusted but now he had something against both Aniu and Sesshoumaru. He smirked to himself. He was sure to succeed this time.
 
Hunting you I can smell you...Alive. Your heart pounding in my head…
* * * * *
“I can't believe that bastard would do that?”
“I'm sure he had a good reason for taking Aniu, Inuyasha,” Kagome said soothingly, trying her hardest to calm Inuyasha down.
“But why? Why would he take her? Why wouldn't he stay to see if he could kill Naraku? Why wouldn't he stay to make sure she would live? He didn't even let you check her out Kagome. She could be dead for all we know.”
Inuyasha was pacing around the cabin and it looked like he was going to falling through the floor from pacing around the same place for so long.
“Inuyasha settle down. I'm sure Aniu is alright,” Miroku said.
“Shut up you fake, lecherous monk.”
Miroku stood so quickly that he knocked over his meal. “I don't mind being called a letch but don't you ever call me a fake. We all know you are worried about Aniu but you don't have to take it out on your friends, Inuyasha.”
“But you guys don't even seem to care!” He was yelling now and Kagome stood up. Inuyasha looked away from the monk to Kagome.
“Inuyasha,” she said.
“Uh, yes?”
“Sit!”
Inuyasha fell face first into the floor, pulled down by rosary around his neck.
 
Anything is better than to be alone. And in the end I guess I had to fall…
