Last Kiss

By Devon Masterson-Bond

Chapter Three

 

“You were troubled before you said that last line

And yet, after you said it, you kissed me…”

 

AN: I need a new beta reader

 

Ami sighed as she finally came to a stop. She could no longer hear the dragon following her and did not sense any danger. It was strange being able to sense or smell all of her surroundings; normally she would need her computer for such scans. Perhaps this girl could shed some light on that as well. “Are we there yet, Miss Wolf?” Rin asked politely. She watched as the wolf demonness sighed in exasperation. This situation was very strange.

 

“I believe so,” she answered settling Rin down gently. “Now I have some questions, where is this place?”

 

“You are in the Western Lands,” Rin answered, “Lord Sesshomaru rules here.”

 

“Lord Sesshomaru?” Ami asked.

 

Rin nodded proudly. “I live with Lord Sesshomaru, Ah-Uh, and Jaken. Lord Sesshomaru is a great dog demon and…”

 

“Did you say demon?” Ami asked. “As in an evil being bent on destruction?”

 

“Lord Sesshomaru is not evil,” Rin snapped protectively. “He brought me back to life when wolf demons like you devoured me.” She turned her back childishly.

 

Blue eyes widened. “What do you mean like me?”

 

Rin turned around and looked at Ami curiously. “You are very strange Miss Wolf. Why are you asking Rin all of these questions?”

 

Ami looked at the girl pensively for a moment. This was girl was quite sharp and inquisitive; she was going to have to give a little to get more information out of the girl. “Up until an hour ago I was human and I lived far away from here. I was attacked by a mysterious man then I woke up here.”

 

“Oh, you're family must be worried then.” Rin touched Ami's shoulder. “Maybe Lord Sesshomaru can help. He knows about everything and if he does not know at the moment then…” Rin paused dramatically then took on a cold demeanor “…further research shall be necessary to attain the facts that escape me at the moment,” she finished in a perfect imitation of Sesshomaru. The little girl giggled. “Lord Sesshomaru is serious all the time, but sometimes he is very funny. I love him.”

 

“Sounds like a colorful individual,” Ami sighed.

 

“That sounds like something Lord Sesshomaru would say,” Rin smiled. “I like you Miss Wolf.”

 

“My name is Ami. Ami Mizuno,” she replied kneeling down, “and I like you too Rin. You're the only friend I have here and it's nice to know right now.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

Ami stood to her feet and looked around thoughtfully. There were so many possibilities of where her location was. She was pretty sure she was still on Earth, but not in her own time. The entire time she had been conversing with Rin not a single plane flew over head or the slightest sound of industrial machines. The air also looked clearer than it had in quite some time. Everything spelled another time period, Rin's clothes and the dressing on the dragon. “Rin, do you know what year it is?”

 

Rin nodded proudly. “Yes, I do. I have been studying my lessons like Jaken taught me. It is the year 1506.”

 

“That can't be right,” she sighed falling to her knees. She was at least a fifteen hundred years into the pass. Hell she would not even be reborn for another five hundred years. Here she was trapped in the past without her powers in the body of a demon. This did not add up at all. The only thing that was comforting about this situation was the fact the retained her physical features and she had the blessing of Mercury. There was no denying her heritage. That was all she could count on, perhaps the part about her not having her powers was a fallacy, maybe they were still sleeping.

 

“Miss Wolf?” Rin asked poking her curiously.

 

“Ami,” she corrected, “yes Rin?”

 

“It's getting late and I have to meet Lord Sesshomaru before he gets worried.”

 

Ami nodded. “A promise is a promise. You'll have to lead the way.” She kneeled down to pick up RIn

 

Rin smiled and reached around the demoness's neck. It was hard to believe she was friends with a wolf. A wolf that was once a human. “I can ask Lord Sesshomaru….”

 

An overwhelming sense of danger filled Ami as she pulled Rin close to her body and jumped away. Her eyes widened when she saw deep laceration in the ground where they had been located. Cobalt eyes narrowed as she looked for her attacker. She nearly gasped when she got glimpsed her assailant in white. “You,” she snarled holding Rin protectively as the little girl burrowed her head into Ami's chest. “You are the cause of all of this.”

 

The figure white merely looked through her and as he raised his whip again. “Release the girl,” he commanded.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru,” Rin called out hearing the sound of her guardian's voice.

 

“This is your guardian, Rin?” Ami kept her eyes locked on the beautiful stranger. He was quick, fortunately so was she in this body. He would not catch her off guard again the way he did before. There was also something different about him.

 

`Yes,” Rin answered she turned to Sesshomaru. “I am okay, Lord Sesshomaru.”

 

Amber eyes studied the little girl carefully, He did not smell or see an injuries, was she being coerced? Ah-Uhn seemed entirely too distress earlier for this to be a simple mistaken situation. “I will not repeat myself.”

 

“Not until you tell me what you did to me?” Ami spat. She could feel herself shaking with anger as she stared at the man. There had been enough humiliation in her life dealing with Malachite and Mina. She did not need to add her rescue to further bruise her already dying ego. What was it with white haired men and her? They were nothing but trouble.

 

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as his whip disappeared. He pulled out tokijin and held it by his side. There would be no harm to Rin in this battle, but he had hoped that he could save her from witnessing such things. Now there would be one more nightmare to add to the list of bad memories he had been unable to shield her from. “Then you leave me no choice, wolf.”

 

“Please, Miss Wolf, Lord Sesshomaru will kill you and I want you to be able to get back to your family,” Rin pleaded.

 

Okay, so holding a child hostage was not one of her better ideas, but she was desperate. The man…demon standing before her, with looks that could kill, was the only one who knew how to get her home. It was better to get on his good side and help him find the thing that he lost. That must have been why be brought her back to this time. She must have been the only one to help him or deal with whatever ordeal he was going through. But why did he look as though he did not know her? “Here you are, Rin.” She placed the little girl on the ground.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru, I am okay. We were just talking, please don't hurt her.”

 

“Rin, come here.” Sesshomaru watched intently as the little girl walked towards him. She seemed reluctant at first but she was never one to disobey him. Rin always obeyed him to the letter. Once she was within his range, he pushed her behind him and raised his sword and attacked.

 

Out of some new instinct Ami clasped her hands together blocking the sword between her palms. She bit her lip as she felt the sword bite in her flesh somewhat, of course it was better than the alternative. “What is wrong with you?” she asked. She was able to push him away.

 

“You sought to harm Rin. You will die.”

 

Ami's eyes widened as he rushed at her again eye blazing and snarling. Martial arts had never been her strong suit. She always left the physical fighting to Lita and Haruka. Now, what she would not give for a lesson or two. It was amazing how dependent upon her powers she was, without them she was SOL. She closed her eyes and waited for the blow that never came. Feeling curious she opened her eyes to see Rin standing in front her with her arms outstretched staring at Sesshomaru defiantly.

 

“Move out of the way Rin,” he said calmly, “and go to Jaken and Ah-Uhn.”

 

Rin's bottom lip trembled. She was about to disobey her lord and it was killing her inside to know it, but she could not let anything happen to Miss Wolf. Something told her that this was a bad decision, something deep within her being. It was the same stirring that led her to the spot in the forest where she met Lord Sesshomaru. That stirring kept her from being afraid and kept her strong as she tried to help him. “No.”

 

A silver eyebrow arched. “Rin, did you not hear what I said?”

 

Tears swam in the chocolate pools as she nodded. “I can't let you hurt Miss Wolf, Lord Sesshomaru. She didn't hurt me; she only wanted our help to get home.”

 

Amber eyes flew to cobalt ones. He could see the confusion in them when he looked at her, but that still did not make for the fact that she was invading his lands and that she took Rin. Later he would find out why Rin was taking up for the wolf, perhaps she would break free from sort of influence after her death. “She decided her fate when she invaded my lands and removed you by force.” He jumped into the air to land behind Ami and strike her down.

 

“No!” Ami screamed out as a blue light surrounded them. Her head band burned away revealing the symbol of Mercury on her forehead. The blue heat of her birthright coursed through her body and lashed out at Sesshomaru throwing him back several feet.

 

He landed gracefully with a frown on his face. He had never experienced such a strong lash out of youkai. Curiosity now settled into his being. His ward was willing to disobey him and this female never made a move to attack only to defend. Her skill was uncouth; she seemed to be moving on instinct. There was something quite odd about her. A female with such weak defensive skill should be dead by all rights and never would have made it to maturity. There was no male's scent on her which was also odd given her beauty and lack of fighting prowess. “Are you quite finished?”

 

“I…” Ami's sentence trailed as her eyes rolled up into the back of her head and she fell forward. Just as quickly as her powers came to her they fleeted. There was something comforting in the oblivion; at least now she would not have to watch. “Sorry, girls…”

 

 

Rin ran over to her and hugged her. “Miss Wolf?”

 

“She has passed out Rin. She released too much youkai too quickly and drained herself.” Sesshomaru grabbed Ami by the arm and threw her over his shoulder. He saw the look of fear disappear from his wards eyes as he rose to his feet. He would not kill this female, at least not today. “Come, Rin.”

 

“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru,” she smiled running after him happily.
