She knew he was here. She could feel his aura pulsing through the tree's. Hell she could almost smell him. And he was close. This would be the first time in 13 years she would see him. Sesshou-maru. And this time she would kill him.

All her followers stood stiffly behind her, and she could feel their fear. She had told them to make them self scarce, they refused and remained loyal to her. And now they might die. Although she tried to shake away the guilt, she couldn't help but want to protect them. They had stayed firm behind her, fought with her, and befriended her.

Her thoughts were shattered though when a smooth voice filter through the clearing. "Where is Higurashi." An there he was in all his splendor. He hadn't changed.

Her eyes narrowed and she took in a deep breath as she stepped forward. "I am Higurashi." she sounded and all the same their eyes met, just as they had 13 years ago. But this time he looked her over and seemed withdrawn at the thought of fighting a woman. But she knew he wouldn't back down, not with a youkai's pride. "You." He spat. "A woman."

He must have been a baka to say some thing like that. She knew even youkai females were stronger than the males at times, so why was she different. No she knew why, she was human. She smirked. "Guess you dont know about me youkai." Her eyes slide over his form seductively. "Nothing at all."

With that said they lunged at each other, and she could feel her comrades hold their breath. "Impudent wench dont talk with so little respect to this Sesshou-maru." There swords met with force and she saw the almost unnoticeable flicker of surprise run through his eyes. "Whats the matter Sesshou-maru, didn't think a mere human would stand a chance, and whats more a woman? My my you must be getting rusty." She taunted. His eyes narrowed and he pushed forward on his sword. Her eyes shot open as her sword began to splinter.

"It would seem your katana has began to break." Then he pushed forward hard, or so it would seem to her. She took several steps as her sword broke in two. The other half landing behind him. He gave a small smirk and sheathed his own sword. "Now you will die."

And like that he had pinned her to the ground. His face so close to hers, all he would have to do was lean down only once and his lips would touch hers. "Tell me Higurashi, why do you hide your face?"

She growled low, and he seemed taken back. "Just kill me you bastard, rather then take away what pride I do have left." His clawed hand caught her throat and he lifted him self from the ground taking her with him to leave her to be suspended in the air. He turn to her followers whom stood ready to defend their leader at any moment.

"See her now, do not think to challenge me if you dont want to end up like her." his hand slowly started to close around her throat as she drew in her last breath, her eyes opening widely. But out of the corner of her eye she saw one of the men begin to walk forward, his weapon outstretched and ready for battle. She struggled and let out a soft cry.

"Run. Dont make me kill you myself you fool." She said hoarsely. The man looked at her. His eyes sorrowful, but he nodded and ran with the others until none were left. "Why did you tell them to leave, they were about to fight for you."

She was dropped unceremoniously to the ground. Her own hand now at her throat as she coughed harshly. Her eyes glanced at him. "Why'd did you let me live?" He raise a perfect eyebrow. "Answer my question, or I `will' kill you." She stared at him for a moment before casting her gaze to where her `friends' once stood.

"Because they did not deserve to be slaughtered by `your' hands." She said stiffly. He growled, but did not make a move to kill her. "Why do you continue to try and acted out your revenge on to me?" She scoffed and turned to look at him. "You took away what was most important to me and for that I will not forgive you."

He gazed into her eyes once more. "You will never succeed." She stood immediately. "Is that a challenge?" her aura flared around her, making the sand beneath their feet rise slightly off the ground.

"I do not challenge those beneath me, and have you yet to learn to control your power?" She put her hand on her head, her form slouching over. "That's none of your business!" she glared at him.

And like once before his hand held her throat. "Put me down you bastard." she said straggled. He brought her face down to where their eyes would meet. They were fierce, both unwilling to back down. But then his eyes turned back to there unemotional amber's.

"Why do you not fear for your life like so many do?" he asked, his large hand going slightly slack. She closed her eyes and seemed to be lost in her one moment of peace before replying softly. "Because I have no one to live for."
