Chapter 21
Two days of travelling, by foot this time,
carried Kitana and Sesshomaru closer to the Western land, a landscape that they
both knew much better than the barren area they have been travelling with. On
the morning of the third day, when Kitana awoke from her slumber, Sesshomaru
was nowhere to be found. Opening her eyes, she discovered Rin and Jaken,
occupied at preparing Ah-Un for leaving the camp.
"Jaken, do you know where Sesshomaru
is?"
Eyes reduced to slits, the retainer answered
bitterly.
"Lord Sesshomaru comes and goes as
he pleases, a lowly servant is not supposed to inquire about the Lord
whereabouts, a servant is asked to wait loyally for his master's return!"
"Well, in that case, I'll let you wait and
see by myself what he is up to. Ah-Un and you are going to take good care of
Rin, isn't it, Jaken?"
Eyes now menacing to pop out of his head, Jaken
replied.
"Why you! I am not a babysitter you know,
I am Jaken, retainer of his Highness Lord Sesshomaru! I am his most trusted
advisor!�
�Kitana-sama, you don�t have to worry. Master
Jaken takes real good care of Rin, and Rin takes real good care of master
Jaken. We are used to wait for Sesshomaru-sama, but he always return! If you
want to go find him, then go, but don�t forget to come back too!� said the
smiling child.
�Caring for a human child, oh how low have you
fallen Jaken, how low..."
With a wink directed to a giggling Rin, Kitana
left. She sensed the presence of Sesshomaru somewhere near the camp, reasonably
close, and immobile. She departed quickly, running and using the trees as
jumping boards. About five minutes later, he came into view, standing
graciously on a rocky ledge overlooking a green forest. The mountainous area
where they found the rats� nest continued up here, but was now covered by
vegetation, and valleys and hills were everywhere around them. The taiyoukai
was breathing deeply, carefully sifting through the different scents that
composed the air.
--
Unfortunately for Kitana, Sesshomaru wanted
nothing to do with her on this beautiful morning. The taiyoukai had spent the
last three days silently cursing her and the new link that had formed between
them, and he would rather have tea with Jaken and Rin decorating him with
flowers than spend more time with his female companion. Her ever changing
emotions had proven hard to ignore during the day, but thanks to his tremendous
control over himself and his deep knowledge of what constituted his normal
reactions, he managed not to humiliate himself by giggling at Rin�s antics or rolling
on the floor laughing whenever Jaken was kicked or maimed in any way.
The problem was totally different at night
though, as if Kitana herself was exerting a control over her own emotions during
the day, but lost it completely under the spell of sleep. Her feelings were
much stronger when she was sleeping, and absolutely different from what he knew
of her, from what he felt from her during the waking hours. For three nights,
he received wave after wave of unwelcomed feelings from her, most of them being
totally inappropriate. Was she an anomaly, or was it really possible for a
female to be so full of lust and desire? On the first night, after a couple of
minutes spent sensing her ravenous appetites and her bloodlust, he left the
camp, resolved not to let this link unsettle him. He soon found out that it
would be harder than he thought, for distance didn�t seem to deafen the
connection. Days later, as the sun rose at the horizon, he was on edge, ready
to lash out at something, anything.
--
"Hey, what's going on? Something in the
air?" Kitana asked casually as she walked by the taiyoukai, wary of his
darkened temper. While she did so, she also surveyed what was just under the ledge;
yet to be seen, two energy signatures strong enough to belong to demons were swiftly
ascending the slope toward them.
Sesshomaru didn't answer her casual salutation.
Instead, he flexed his claws in a menacing way before turning and going down
the slope, heading directly for the energies she sensed earlier. Puzzled and
slightly insulted by his ignorance of her, Kitana followed after him.
Halfway down the path, the demons she felt
appeared to her. Two males, of what species she couldn't tell, were running up
the hill. One of them sported a white spike of hairs and wore nothing but chain
armor and a fur pelt around his hips. The other one was short-haired, with
silver hairs too but sporting a dark grey stripe above his forehead; this one
wore mostly furs.
Upon seeing Sesshomaru, both demons stopped
dead in their tracks and knelt on the ground, shaking as if the sky had fallen
upon them. Scrutinizing Sesshomaru's bored expression, Kitana waited curiously
for what was to come. Was Sesshomaru after these weird-looking demons?
Panting, the youkai with the spiked hair raised
his head and spoke.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Please forgive us for
disturbing you; it appears we have mistaken your scent for
Inuyasha's!"
Sesshomaru lost his platonic expression and
frowned, raising his right hand, about to let his poison whip terminate the
life of the insolent youkai who dared liken him to his loathed sibling. To his utmost
irritation though, Kitana arrogantly stepped between the wolf and him, her back
turned to him, thus saving the life of the lowly creatures.
"What do you want with Inuyasha?"
The two wolves sat on their haunches, studying
the strange woman they had never met before. She had a stern, hostile look on
her face and was blatantly ignoring the threat of the powerful dog youkai
standing behind her. The wolves had not really mistaken the great taiyoukai for
the hanyou; Inuyasha's scent was definitely upon him, along with their sister's
scent and the rest of their pack, faint but present nonetheless. However the
older brother had never been known to be kind to the hanyou or to his friends, and
was in a class of demons so untouchable that even their leader would be in
danger was he to face the Lord, so the demon spoke with hesitations
to these beings who could very well end up being enemies.
"We ran into one of Naraku's incarnations
not far from here and our leader, Kouga, is fighting with the thing at this
moment. We believe he has some jewel shards and thought that our sister could
sense them for us, her scent was in the air this morning."
Upon hearing these words, Sesshomaru�s bored
expression came back, and he went round the wolves to continue his descent down
the hill. Kitana did not pay him any attention, for what the wolves said had
aroused her curiosity.
"Your sister?" asked Kitana, puzzled.
"Yes, Kagome, sister of the Eastern wolf
tribe."
"I see. Well, I think Lord Sesshomaru is
after this Naraku you speak about, so your leader might receive some help after
all..." She looked at Sesshomaru�s back, who was going further and further
away from them, entering the woods at the foot of the hill. The only feelings
she could sense emanating from him were an intense irritation and a hint of
what was probably her own curiosity, reflected back at her through their link. ��Or not..."
Her attention returning to the wolves, she did
her best to calm their anxiety; as far as she knew, they were not lying and she
had no reason to act against friends of Kagome.
�Inuyasha and Kagome are far from here, it might
take you days to reach them. I�ll follow Sesshomaru; I want to know what will
happen. Why don�t you come? Your Kouga would certainly like having his
companions with him in this fight, wouldn�t he?�
She then took off after Sesshomaru, decided to
see the end of it. The still panting and puzzled wolves looked at each other,
then reluctantly followed suit. They were not great fighters despite what they
would want others to believe, and Inuyasha�s scent had given them hope in a
desperate situation. Now, however, they weren�t sure about their future
anymore.
Sprinting amongst the tree, it was not long
before Kitana caught up with the taiyoukai.
"Care to enlighten me, oh my Lord?
What the hell is going on with you?"
Sesshomaru, walking casually amongst the tree,
spared her an aggressive side look. Her playful curiosity and her confusion
were in total contradiction with his mood, and he did not want to be distracted
from his task.
"Naraku's horrible scent was on the wind
this morning, for a short moment. However, the wind turned and the track was
lost. Those wolves might have resolved this issue."
That being said, he urged forward, following an
invisible path through the woods. As they reached the outskirts of a human
village, he stopped, his moves mirrored by the onyx creature. Ahead of them,
Kitana could feel the energy of a strong being, a demon for sure. There was
another demonic one, weaker than the first, and one that was very hard to
define, as if it was in perpetual change... Sesshomaru, his gaze fixed upon the
houses, spoke to her.
"You shall not interfere. This fight is
not your fight."
Then he was gone. Sighing, Kitana followed
slowly after him, heading toward the village. He said nothing about not
looking, did he? And she had never been good at listening to orders, anyway. So
she followed, climbing the side of a house to reach the roof, hoping to gain a
better viewing point, curious to finally meet the dreaded Naraku.
The village was dead. Corpses left to rot
everywhere gave up an unpleasant smell of decay and death. Sesshomaru headed
toward the small central place, where he could smell both Naraku's scent and
that of the wolf leader, who was still alive if he could judge by the curses
and shouts that reached his ears. He ignored the panting and whining of the two
underlings who were now reaching the first empty houses; those were cowards not
worth the value of the pelts they were wearing.
Both companions reached the central place at
the same time, one on the roofs, and one on the ground. Their reactions to what
was ahead of them however, were different. The taiyoukai gave a disdainful look
to the small boy with a spear who was standing on the ground, surrounded by a
strong barrier, before setting his bored gaze upon the larger, white creature
that was fighting with the wolf. Kitana, on the other hand, was much more
interested in the boy than in the fight itself. This small child-like being was
harboring so much energy that it was hard to believe he was really what he
seemed to be. She had learned that youkai could be cunning creatures, and
disguising as a child seemed like a distasteful, but very possible thing
to do for a youkai. Was this boy the terrible Naraku everyone talked so much
about? Or was it the tall, expressionless white figure with its shifting,
changing energy?
Approaching the fight, Sesshomaru unsheathed
his sword. The exhausted wolf was having a hard time with the tall creature, which
was doing its best to get at his legs. Multiple pieces of pale flesh were
littered everywhere on the ground, but they were moving and pulsating
suspiciously. The taiyoukai addressed the being.
"The wolves were right; you are merely despicable
detachments from Naraku's body. I shall dispose of you quickly."
The small child did not even bother turning his
eyes to face Sesshomaru; his attention was kept fixated on the fight before
him.
"Kukuku! I am Hakudoshi, and this is
Moryoumaru, not a mere detachment. But, do as you please, Sesshomaru-sama. You
are in for a surprise, though!"
Suddenly, the child fiercely attacked the
taiyoukai. The strikes from his long spear were fast and furious, but he found
his match in the person of Sesshomaru. Tokijin singed its song of death as a
blast of energy was sent right toward the small figure of the young boy, who
would have taken the full strength of the blast if it wasn�t for the barrier
around him.
�Really, Sesshomaru-sama, for a being that
Naraku wanted so much to absorb, you appear quite weak to me. A blast of
energy, eh? Tell me, have you ever tasted your own medicine?�
On these words, the barrier around him reacted
and a strong lightning-like energy blast was sent hurling to Sesshomaru, who
simply side-stepped it. The blast ended up on the ground, making an explosion
that sent dirt and rocks flying everywhere. Following the flight of a larger
rock, Hakudoshi saw other beings looking at them, the two weaker wolves from
earlier, and another creature. Scrutinizing the black figure that was blatantly
looking at them from the rooftops, as if the fight was nothing but a mere
entertainment, a flash of recognition passed in the child�s eyes.
�Moryoumaru! Leave the wolf alone, you could
always take his shards afterwards. Naraku wants this creature more than
anything else! Go after her, now!�
He was interrupted by a furious Sesshomaru, who
attacked his barrier with multiple physical strikes from the Tokijin. The child
dodged them all and laughed as he witnessed his creation turning toward the
woman Naraku wanted so much. The taiyoukai could do nothing to stop him,
Hakudoshi, and it pleased him a lot. Wanting to keep the game interesting, he
started retaliating with his spear. Soon both fighters were nothing more than
flashes of colors and light to the human eye, fighting with a speed and strength
rarely matched on this ground.
Under Kitana�s very eyes, the creature named
Moryoumaru left the half-beaten wolf behind him to come toward her. Kitana
couldn�t believe it, what had she done to be the target of so many attacks in
such a short length of time? According to Sesshomaru, these two were not even
the real Naraku, so why this obsession with her? It just wasn�t healthy.
Kouga, momentarily left alone, gathered his
bearings and jumped at the back of the creature, striking deep in its flesh
with his claws. The soft white flesh only separated under his blow and quickly
reformed around his hands, forcing him to push out with his legs. White
jelly-like tendrils grabbed him by the legs then, and seemingly unaware of that
fact, the creature continued toward Kitana without faltering, not caring about
the wolf that was being absorbed into its back.
�You bastard! Fight like a real man, not like
some jellyfish, it isn�t honorable!� screamed the angry wolf youkai. With a
stronger push, he freed himself from his enemy, who was now totally ignoring
him, and took a closer look at the newcomers. The dog youkai he could replace
as Inuyasha�s sibling, but he had never seen anything like the black female,
who was perched on a roof just like a� sitting duck. What was she doing, he
thought?
Kitana didn�t want to hinder Sesshomaru in his fight;
it was obvious to her that he desperately needed to vent his aggression on
these enemies. However she would not let such a weird thing hurt her down, and
after the showdown at the rat�s nest she wasn�t in the mood for a fight.
Sighing, she concentrated her energies and looked intensely at her attacker
with shining golden eyes; eyes that soon lost their sheen and opened up widely
in surprise.
Kouga couldn�t believe it. Was this female
stupid, or what? The freakish jelly youkai that he had been fighting moments
before was coming straight at her, and yet all she managed to do was look at
it? Did she think that her looks could kill?
He was about to jump to her help when suddenly
she disappeared from her spot, letting the monster destroy the roof of the
house with a swipe from his huge hand. Kouga blinked once, then twice, and
found her right beside him, looking at him with a concerned frown on her face.
�Youkai, you should leave this place. Your
friends are worried about you.�
�What? You think I�m the one here in need of
rescue? I-�
His phrase was cut short when another attack by
Moryoumaru came his way. He was so distracted by the female�s words that he
didn�t saw the white tendrils and tentacles coming, and she had to push him out
of the way. Him, a wolf youkai of his status, rescued by a mere woman, he
couldn�t believe it!
Kitana was annoyed by the wolf. He was clearly
a very macho character, and the male pride that radiated around him made her
sick. Furthermore, the result, or rather absence of result, of her energy
attack on Moryoumaru unnerved her. She tried to make its heart and brain burst
under her energy, to no avail. She was tired of fighting against dead or undead
creatures, it was way too creepy. Adding to that the fact that the wolf�s anger
and Sesshomaru�s rage were starting to rub off on her, cutting her patience
furthermore, and it explained her reaction when the said taiyoukai appeared at
her side, furious, crouching in preparation of bouncing toward Hakudoshi.�
�This Sesshomaru told you not to intervene in
this fight. Leave.�
Her eyes glowed a deep flashing gold and a hiss
escaped her lips. The wind, which was absent until now, started to blow
strongly around her.
�What did you say?�
Moryoumaru, as soulless as he was, knew a good
opening when he saw one. The offered back of the black female was an invitation
to strike, and so he did.
Instants before the creature made contact with
her, a very strong gush of wind pushed him away, as if he had hit a wall. He
fell down on the ground and the houses behind him were blown away by the strength
of the winds. Kouga was speechless, and Sesshomaru had to divide his attention
between Kitana and an amused Hakudoshi.
�In case you didn�t realize it, I was the one
being attacked here! I did nothing to provoke this giant blob of jelly, and ��
she sent another wind attack to the said blob, who this time disappeared under
the rubbles that once were a set of three houses -� and he comes straight at me,
unprovoked, and you have the nerve to come here and order me to leave? Well,
let me tell you that I would really love to be anywhere else in the universe,
right now. I�m tired of this place, tired of the monsters waiting behind every
tree to have a go at me, tired of fighting fights I don�t even understand! If
it were only me, I would have been gone a long time ago. The one that needs
convincing though is this thing, not me!�
That being said, she turned to face another
attack from Moryoumaru. The last attack. Not even blinking as the whitish
mounds of flesh that were previously scattered around the village gathered
together at her feet and started climbing upon her, she took up Sesshomaru�s aggressive
feelings and let them merge with her own deadly emotions. Expertly, she turned
all this hatred, all this fury into a whirling blast of energy that engulfed
the flesh at her feet as well as the monster and the shattered remains of the
houses in front of her in a barrage of flames.
�NO!�
The scream came from Hakudoshi. Panicked, the
youkai child surged forward, desperately trying to save his creation from the
inferno that was consuming it. At the last moment, he grabbed Moryoumaru by the
hairs and with his spear cut his head off from the rest of his burning body.
Sesshomaru reacted instantly and was on them in a flash, but Hakudoshi was
faster. He reformed his barrier and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from
the scene.
Kouga, flabbergasted by her success against an
enemy that gave him immense difficulties, was about to say something bitter to
Kitana when Sesshomaru turned their way, his youki flaring around him in a very
threatening way.
�This Sesshomaru had been very clear. How dare
you take on my prey?� he asked with a growl.
Kitana bared her teeth at her companion,
hissing, her inner jaw exposed through her parted teeth.
�You should have told them they were yours, not
me. Clear your head Sesshomaru or I�ll have to shake your eyes open! Don�t you
see I simply reacted to an unprovoked and unjustified attack?�
Unexpectedly, Sesshomaru lunged at her, poison
dripping from his claws. She clumsily dodged the attack and the wolf, who was
after all an expert at surviving, quickly moved out of the way. He joined his
comrades who were waiting for him at the periphery of the destroyed village,
hidden behind a crumbled wall.
The anger inside Kitana was so strong it was
painful. It coursed in her body like a wild torrent, and resistance was futile,
she had to give way to this rage or be engulfed in it. She spun on her heels
and lashed her tail blade at Sesshomaru, who quickly blocked it with his now drawn
Tokijin. He retaliated with a growl, and both of them became engaged in a
battle of strength, speed and will that finished to destroy what was left of
the village.
The wolves couldn�t believe their eyes; the
fight was so fast, they could only see the taiyoukai for short moments before he
started moving again. His blows were so powerful that each of them resulted in
thunderous sounds of metal scraping against rock and dust, sending parts of the
demolished houses flying everywhere. Kitana was trying to take advantage of the
ruins to dissimulate herself and attack by surprise, before hiding again; she
was no match against such speed. Sesshomaru followed her so closely though than
most of their battle was in the open. From their hiding spot, Hakkaku spoke to
the others, coughing under the effect of the particles in the air.
�Hey Ginta, how come they are fighting like
that? Weren�t they travelling together when we met them, aren�t they allies?
They sure looked like it to me, after all he spared our lives when she
intervened!�
�Hey, bro, how do you want me to know? All I
know is she was damn efficient on that big white guy, she nearly destroyed it
without even paying it any attention!�
�Hmm, she knew not to touch it, and she can
control fire. I bet she wouldn�t have been so brilliant had she been the first
one to fight it, like I was!� said Kouga, arms crossed.
The two underlings looked at each other for a
moment, sharing similar feelings of confusion and fear. In front of them, the
battle was raging. Sesshomaru sent a powerful blast of evil energy toward
Kitana with Tokijin while at the same time catching her by the waist with his
fur pelt, and then throwing her against a half crumbled two story house.
Air left her lungs when she hit the wooden
planks of the wall and broke them in half, and her momentum carried her in the
middle of the house. Sesshomaru left her no time to react before attacking
again, this time dissolving the two last beams that barely kept the house from
collapsing. His Dokasu quickly ate through the thick wood and the chaos that
followed was total. The large house seemed to implode, with its main support
totally lost the thin walls couldn�t take the pressure of the construction and
collapsed in a cloud of dust and a deafening sound.
�Men, no way! How can she loose to him, she
destroyed the huge thing and then this mangy dog gives her a beating!�
On these words from Kouga, Sesshomaru turned
toward them, his narrowed eyes starting to take on a reddish coloration. The
wolves tried to flee, Hakkaku and Ginta grabbing Kouga by the arms even though
it was clear that their exhausted leader already regretted his words and would
not stay to pick a fight against the taiyoukai. Survival was always first
priority, even if his pride told him to meet the challenge of the dog he once
met and acknowledged as a worthy opponent. In his weakened state, he would be destroyed
as easily as the black female, so he turned tail and left in a small whirlwind,
his friends following closely behind.
As the wolves reached the woods, fleeing for
their lives, the crumbled house exploded for the second time; Kitana surged
from below the ruins unscathed and jumped at Sesshomaru, aiming for his throat.
Her anger had morphed into an intense desire to kill, to dismember this
arrogant dog that disregarded every word that came from her mouth as if she was
nothing but a disgusting being not worth taking notice of.
As she was about to grab him, the taiyoukai
descended Tokijin upon her head. All she could do was block it, capturing the
sword�s blade between the spikes on her forearms, and try to counter it with
her own strength. �Snarling, her eyes became
golden again.
�Sesshomaru, you won�t survive this fight! I
will kill you!�
On these words, his fury seemed to increase
even more and he put all of his strength into his sword arm, forcing her to
push firmly on the ground for balance. She was struggling intensely to contain
the power of the dog youkai while concentrating her energies for an attack that
would surely end his days. She could not to let go of the sword or she would
receive the full strength of the strike on her throat, and Sesshomaru couldn�t
retire either for his blade was caught. He wouldn�t have anyway, for his mind
was blinded by his rage.
In his rage, the taiyoukai started to feel an
intense wave of energy trying to harm him, to increase his body temperature. In
answer to that treacherous attack, he called upon his youki, pushing the
foreign energy away from him in winds of demonic energy. His eyes now totally
crimson focused on the creature that was bold enough to try to burn him as she
had burned other feeble enemies, he pushed his youki into his sword, adding a
terrible energy to the evil blade.
Angrier than ever after her attack was repelled,
Kitana resorted to physical means by snaking her tail up around Sesshomaru�s
throat, in a death grip that would be the end of him. Not deterred by this
situation, Sesshomaru did the same with his fur pelt, ensnaring her throat in a
powerful knot. The battle of will and strength would have continued until the
end of one of them, if realization had not struck the onyx skinned female; her eyes
suddenly opened up widely.
�Shit! That�s it!�
With that, she closed her eyes and brought her
arms down, avoiding the strike of the Tokijin by an inch. She swiftly wrapped
her arms around Sesshomaru�s shoulders, in a posture similar to a hug. Her tail
left his throat to ensnare his sword arm capture it beside his body, before
snaking down below to wrap tightly around his legs, disarming him almost
completely. Sesshomaru�s fury doubled when he saw her like that, when he felt
her body so closely in contact with his own; had she no shame to use such a
underhanded tactic in a fight? What was she thinking?
His surprised waning, he started to struggle
against her as she was probably preparing a trick of her own, when he slowly
felt his emotions coming under control. His anger melted away, replaced by a
feeling of calm and peacefulness. Puzzled by the phenomenon, he became immobile,
his body still captive of Kitana�s grip, his fur pelt around her neck trying to
strangle her, but the attack became less and less threatening as his desire to
kill slowly disappeared. Finally, Kitana opened her eyes and looked up into the
taiyoukai�s now golden eyes, a small smile on her lips.
�Hey, it�s okay, don�t you feel it?�
Looking around them, full realization of what
he had done, of what could have happened in his fury, hit him. His arm went
limp and his sword fell down on the ground, while he removed his fur pelt from the
throat of his companion. Kitana raised an arm and passed it behind his neck, moving
her other arm from his shoulder to ensnare his waist, hugging him tightly
against her. She pressed her left cheek in her chest above the armored plate,
not caring about the pressure the spikes put upon her throat. Before he
realized it, his arm found its way around her slender waist and he lowered his
head, placing his chin atop her head. They stayed that way for a short while, slowly
breathing in and out the calm and peacefulness that they both felt, when in a
whispered tone full of confusion, he spoke.
�What just happened?�
Kitana moved back a little, enough to put her
hands on his chest plate and meet his eyes; he did not relinquish his hold on
her though. She spoke in a hushed, sad tone of voice that he disliked
instantaneously. Such a noble creature should never have to use a tone like
that, he thought while a frown marred his face.
�It�s my fault, Sesshomaru, and I am ashamed I
pushed you this far without even realizing it. I feel so stupid, I acted like
an angry child and I fear what could have happened because of me.�
While she spoke, she couldn�t look at him in
the face. Her eyes fell on the ground, and if it hadn�t been from Sesshomaru�s pelt
lifting up her chin, she wouldn�t have found the courage to do it by herself.
�Explain.�
�It�s the biggest danger of this link we share.
If we both feel the same way, and are not careful about controlling ourselves,
we can throw the similar feelings to each other again and again, amplifying it
with our own emotion at each pass, creating an immense, uncontrollable storm of
feelings. Today my anger added up to yours, then you sent it back to me and I
didn�t separate it from my own rage. You felt this raging emotion, recognized
it as yours and took it all in, before throwing it back at me again. The cycle
repeated itself again and again until we both� well� couldn�t keep it in check
anymore.�
�What did you just do, to calm This Sesshomaru
so fast? What happened?�
His hand that left her waist to settle on her
shoulder, was firm and she knew he was not angry anymore, just puzzled. Even
though he would never voice it out loud, he regretted attacking her and wanted
to make sure it wouldn�t happen again. Reassured by his attitude, Kitana
continued.
�I simply broke up the cycle. When I finally
realized what was happening, I reached into myself and sent you waves of
emotions in complete contradiction with what we were felling at the moment, and
it worked. Peace, calm, serenity. It helped a lot that you did not really want
to hurt me, that you wanted to gain control over your acts again, for without
that desire I might not have succeeded.�
She hesitate an instant before adding what she
knew he would not take well.
�This is the danger of this link. It will wear
off eventually, I assure you, but in the meantime we cannot ignore it. These
feelings can�t be simply shut down or buried or disregarded, if we do that then
they just grow and grow and reach uncontrollable heights. We have to
acknowledge them, accept this link that is between us now instead of fighting
it, and then calm ourselves down when we do not want to feel in a certain way.�
Sesshomaru�s frown was deep now, his eyes
reduced to narrow slits, and he detached himself from Kitana, backing away a
step or two. Slowly, a small smirk reached the corner of his mouth, and he
looked her straight in the eyes.
�So, you are telling me that tonight if you
dare plaguing me again with your ludicrous randy feelings, I can simply imagine
the most disgusting sexual intercourse ever and it will fade away?�
Heat pooled up in her cheeks as Kitana took in
the words of her partner. Randy? Sexual? Shame came down on her when she
realized what effect her innocent dreams may have had on the taiyoukai and she turned
rounded eyes to him while she tried to stutter a coherent, honorable answer. With
a shrug, he disregarded her discomfort and cut her pitiful tentative of explanations
and excuses with a stoic declaration.
�This Sesshomaru has nothing to learn from you
in emotion control. Like I already told you, I am well trained in that domain.�
Regaining her bearings, Kitana sighed.
�It�s like I said. You are very skilled at
ignoring emotions, but obviously not at managing them. I can take that
responsibility and try to do it for you, but the danger of us having the same
intense feeling at the same time is still very present and very real. I know
it�s hard to take, but this link between us can become a dangerous liability as
well as an asset. It just depends on how we manage it.�
�Hn.�
With that, he turned his back to her and made
his way to the camp where he would find the rest of his group.
