My Demonic Love Story- A Sesshomaru x Original Character Fanfiction

Chapter 7: Desire

 Damn Kikyo. Kairii thought this as she walked back onto the road, frustrated. Sesshomaru's scent was faint. He was long gone from this area. He must have picked up speed. But why? Had he decided to ask Totosai to make him a sword? No, this couldn't be that. Totosai's volcano was in the east. Sesshomaru's trail led south. Hmm...Naraku? No. Naraku wouldn't approach Sesshomaru again for quite some time. She began walking quickly after Sesshomaru's trail when a thought occurred to her. Was Sesshomaru testing her abilities? He clearly knew she could track him down. She didn't even need InuTaisho's sniffer half the time. His tracks, and Jaken's, were obvious. But before she'd left, he'd asked her about her ability to take power from demons and others. Damn him. Was he trying to make her prove what InuTaisho's power could do?!

She yanked her kimono skirt away from her legs and bent her knees a little. Insufferable bastard! And she called him master! She ran after the trail, relying on her sense of smell to continue following Sesshomaru's trail. She didn't have time to stop and check tracks. Her half day was almost up.

"Look out!" the tiny voice was familiar enough that she set her feet into the dirt and skidded to a halt, just as something small struck her face. She swiped it off immediately, and saw the small creature fall to the ground.

"Huh?" she asked, "Myoga?" Myoga was a flea demon and a servant of Inuyasha. What was he doing around these parts? She crouched down.

"Who are you, if I might ask?" he asked. Myoga looked like an old man with large eyes, and the standard two piece kimono of a vassal. Before she could decide how to answer, he hopped onto her hand and bit her. She smacked him immediately.

"At least wait for an answer before you try sucking me dry." she growled.

"Lady Kai?" he sounded startled. She blinked.

"Lady? I serve...ah crap!" she straightened sharply, "Listen Myoga, don't tell Inuyasha about me! I have to go!" then she ran after Sesshomaru's scent. Damn it! She was going to be later than hell if he didn't slow down! She inhaled as she ran, and realized Sesshomaru's scent was getting stronger. Huh? Did he halt? She shook her head. What was he playing at? She slowed down as the scent kept getting stronger. OK, was she going to trip over him or something? She slowed to a walk, looking around with a small frown. He was a beautiful golden-eyed male with white hair, fair skin, and a white kimono with red on it and a standard demonic breastplate. He also had a large amount of fur known as a moko moko over one shoulder that was also white. He shouldn't be this hard to spot!

And just as she thought that, she caught sight of him in a tree off the road. Sighing, she adjusted her kimono and approached the camp. Better get this over with quickly. She blinked when she realized both he, and Jaken, were asleep. Oh. She tried to approach quietly. Perhaps he sped up because he needed rest and knew this small camp clearing was here? Jaken had already started a fire. It might not have to do with her abilities at all.

The moment she stepped into the camp space, Sesshomaru's eyes opened and he stared down at her. Great. Those gold eyes were cold and flat. He was pissed.

"You're late." he said softly. She bowed on her knees at the base of the tree.

"My apologies." she said, "I was delayed returning."

"Hmph." he said, "Rest now. We'll leave tomorrow." that was a relief. She hadn't gotten a break in three days. She hopped into a tree near Sesshomaru and leaned against the trunk and branch, balancing easily.

"Rest well, Sesshomaru-sama." she smiled as she said his name, closing her eyes lightly. She was a light sleeper. She'd know if something happened. She knew it was unlikely, since this wasn't necessarily part of the main plot, but it never hurt to be careful. And she would defend herself if she had to. It wouldn't come to that. Sesshomaru avoided crowds and the like. There wasn't anything around for miles.
