With Angel's Love

Part III: Ambush

Sesshomaru and Gina had been searching for this elusive clan of demons for about a week and a half, but they had not one lead. Many villages had been decimated and people slain, but other than that, they had made no progress.

Rin had begged with all her might to come along with the two that she now saw as her parents. But with the threat of attack looming over them at all times, that was simply out of the question. Jaken hadn't jumped at the opportunity of accompanying his master, and of course, neither of them wanted him along either. And so there they were, readying to stop this ongoing massacre of the people of the Western lands.

As Gina and Sesshomaru walked along an abandoned forest road, the young woman sighed, resting her head on his shoulder. Sliding an arm around her waist, he looked at her with concern. "You've been acting odd since we've left. Is everything alright?" he asked. Gina lifted her head and looked over at him. "Odd? How do you mean?" she asked in reply. Sesshomaru furrowed his brow a little. "Well…you've just seemed a little…out of it lately," he replied.

Gina simply smiled at him. "Oh, nothing's wrong. I'm fine," she said reassuringly. He smirked a little. "Whatever you say, my love, whatever you say," he said, a bit of sarcasm in his voice. Gina gave a small laugh. "Don't treat me like I'm some glass doll. I'm just a little tired," she said, "And before you say anything about that, remember that we've been traveling nearly non-stop for at least the past week." Hearing this, Sesshomaru looked at her with a look of concern on his usually placid face.

Sesshomaru stopped, halting her as well. "Do you want to rest for a while, Gina-chan?" he asked. "Huh? Oh…no. I don't need to rest. I just didn't sleep too well last night…" she answered. He shook his head a little. "No, no, I don't want you to strain yourself," he said. With this, he led her over to a fallen log and sat her down.

"Sesshomaru…what's all this about? We're searching for demons…you need to treat me like a warrior!" she said forcefully. The demon forced a slight chuckle, sitting down next to her. "Oh, of course…" he said. Damn…she's really serious about fighting! "All I mean is that when the time comes, I may need your help and I can't have you falling asleep," he said, almost growling. Gina smiled widely. "Great! I'm glad you can consider me a soldier as well as a lover!" He smiled, and then leaned over and gave her a deep kiss.

Of course, Gina didn't fight him off. Instead, after a moment, she crawled onto his lap, smirking as his hands found their way around her. She slid her arms around him, but when they nearly fell off of their fallen tree, they parted. They simply stared at each other for a moment, smirked at each other, then began to laugh. Of course, this time they did fall off.

Looking down at him, Gina began to laugh, and then kissed him lightly. She started to get up, but Sesshomaru quickly pulled her back down, holding her close to his chest. "I guess we can just stay here for a moment or two," he said playfully. The two giggled a little, simply out of nowhere, and kissed a few more times. Gina sank down against him. "I love you…" she sighed happily. He smirked a bit, moving his hands up to her shoulders. "I love you too, Gina-chan," he replied, "But I thought you wanted me to think of you as a warrior?" Gina flashed him yet another smile, but then started to push off of him.

"You're right. This is no way for a warrior to act," she said, fixing her armor as she sat up. He sat up next to her, kissing her again. He hovered there for a moment, smiling, but his expression quickly turned sour. "Sesshomaru…what is it?" Gina asked. He pressed a finger on her lips, signaling her to be silent. He sniffed the air, and a low growl erupted from the back of his throat. "Gina-chan, stay here. I'll be right back," he replied as he stood. He quickly drew Songhai, a small smirk crossing his face. "It's time to test out my new blade."
