Chapter 8: Decisions, Bickering, Big Mouths and Checking out the Daiyoukai

A/N: Hello fellow fanfiction lovers! I got a review a while back saying that nothing happen in this story so far. I thought a lot of events had taken place with the OC losing her friends, going back in time, seeing a Minotaur murdered in front of her eyes, having her condition flare up discovering that she was hanging out with a daiyoukai, injuring herself and getting into it with the toad, but I could be mistaken. I like to take some of my stories slow so I can develop more of a plot. However, I’m going to try and pick up the pace of this story (just a tiny bit). Hope you enjoy it!!!

After telling “Silver” about Satan and her religious beliefs, he only scoffed and said that ‘this Sesshoumaru works for no one’. And walked away towards what she assumed was the village. She stood in the same spot she was in for a long time watching the daiyoukai retreating back, wondering if he no longer wished to be bothered with her and wanted to leave her out in the middle of the forest to fend for herself, or did he wish for her to continue to follow him? Another important question she pondered was rather or not she wanted to continue to follow him?

Weighing her options she thought:

‘He seems to have an interest in me, hopefully only because I’m from another time and not for some other terrible reason. He did save me, as unintentional as it might have been and he is hopefully leading me to someone that can help me get home... on the other hand he says that he ‘works for no one’ how do I know he’s telling the true, he is a youkai after all...”

Shifting more of her weight on her good leg she continued to think:

‘So it’s either stay back here alone with a busted ankle and get attacked and killed, or take my chances with ‘Silver’ over there’ and possibly get attacked and killed…’

Off to the right in the forest, she heard something hiss that helped her make her decision:

‘Ah a helplesssssssss human…delicioussssssss’

“Oh my kami…” She started to whisper with wide eyes, quacking knees and wobbling legs that were getting ready to attempt to bolt out of the area with a twisted ankle and all. Before she could take a step however, the daiyoukai disappeared from sight into the forest, Seconds later she heard a gagging and then a hissing but not the hissing she heard earlier. The hissing sounded as if something was sizzling and she smelled what she thought to be the scent of some type of flower with a bitter tang to it. Reappearing on the path he was on earlier glanced at her out of the side of his cat like eyes with a barely noticeable frown and continued forward. When all this occurred, he didn’t say a word.

Figuring out what took place in the forest and that the frown he had showed that he was growing impatient with her lingering about she thought:

‘I, I, I could have ran into, whatever that was in the forest when I ran from him, I could have been dead by now, hell I would have been dead if I hadn’t met him earlier…to hell with this…I think I’ll stick with ‘Silver’ for a while…’

Limping forward she kept a look out for a large stick to use as a crutch, wondering if he knew that thing was out there in the forest waiting to get its hands on her as soon as he was out of sight, or if it figured that ‘Silver’ would not bother with keeping her from becoming its meal.

Then she had another scary thought:

‘What if that thing was following me the whole time we were separated?!’

Not even wanting to think about it that moment, she continue to take shaky breaths and limp forward. After a few minutes of searching she finally found a suitable walking stick and continued to follow him. All the while hoping that she didn’t have another Asthma attack.

She decided to take her chances with him, she figured at least he hasn’t tried to pull any “Dracula” or “flesh eating zombie” shit on her yet…

“Wait for me milord” She heard the little green creep shout a half hour later after her and Sesshoumaru left the “battlefield” of the human and the toad creature. The irritation of his voice grated on her nerves and all she could think was:

‘Ah, hell…’

‘What a bother…’ Sesshoumaru thought as the ‘human’ and Jaken begin to bicker. He was beginning to wonder yet again why he was spending his energy on…assisting this human. The thought of helping anyone still made his stomach turn, but he has notice that he has become a bit more tolerable as he gets older.

The daiyoukai told himself that he was doing this for his own benefit, not hers. After all, the West was his and so were the creatures in it. When a new face makes an appearance on his lands, he figured he had every right to know who they were and why they were there. He had a feeling that like another certain futuristic being he refuse to call his sister in-law, trouble was going to find the exotic looking human trailing behind him and that trouble will affect his territory. That plus his curiosity has him playing the part of a guard Inu daiyoukai… yet again.

A few more minutes of bickering had past and right before he was going to stop, turn around and give the two a death glare, the human read his mind and did him a favor by sticking her stick out in front of the toad, tripping him and kicking him right in the rump with her bad ankle making herself wince, sending Jaken sliding across the dirt, gaining him a mouth full of soil and rocks.

Jumping up and spitting out the dirt, the angry toad was about to go on a verbal rampage when he heard his master say in a low tone:

“Silence Jaken”

“Yes, milord” Jaken said bowing down in the dirt when he looked up his master and the human had left him again unknown to Mandisa and Jaken, Sesshoumaru had a slight smirk on his face.

The girl’s actions were somewhat reminisce of Rin when she use to step on Jaken after he tripped or threw rocks at him mimicking her Lord Sesshoumaru when the toad was especially mean to her. With that thought in mind he discovered that he wasn’t quite as irritated by the girls’ high picked voice as much as he thought. In fact, some of the girls’ antics, like running away and activating his canine instincts, and the instant mood swings were amusing.

He knew what was lurking out in the forest and he had no intention on letting anything harm the girl since he wanted to discover her purpose. So even as she ran, he flared his energy, sending animals and low level youkai alike scurrying away. Except of course for the snake youkai that got his throat melted as a result of his stupidity and insolence.

Whether or not Sesshoumaru protected the girl was not the case, the problem was that the snake knew that he, Sesshoumaru was the more powerful predator and he may have decided to prey on the girl himself sooner or later. Yet he decided to try and under mind his power as soon as he turned his back, as if he didn’t know the fool was lurking in the forest. It was a blatant form of disrespect and the snake paid for it with his life.

“Wait milord.” Jaken was heard squeaking yet again an hour later and he ran on his short legs to catch up.

Sesshoumaru just ignored him and kept his elegant strut towards the village. Mandisa was a few feet behind him.

A few minutes later, Mandisa saw what she thought to be a water source. Which was excellent considering that the only time she got water, when they found a stream here and there on their journey and she had to use her hands as a cup for water. Moreover, the only food she had was berries and other fruits the daiyoukai simply pointed out and told her it was safe to eat. Of course he didn’t get it for her, telling her to ‘fend for herself’. Too bad she didn’t have a fishing pole to catch dinner at one of those streams. One thing she thought about hanging out with ‘Silver’ in the wilderness, you had no choice but to toughen up. Hell the guy wouldn’t even offer to help her after she busted her ankle. And she didn’t asking knowing that he would probably look at her as if she had grown three heads. Being an explorer was one thing, being dropped in the past with youkai running around, no police, modern technology and no grocery stores available is something entirely different!

“A well, the village has to be close by and that means water and FOOD…” She thought excitedly. Mandisa, in a hurry limped over to said well and peaked over the edge to see if she could see the much wanted water, and hoping there was a bucket and a rope nearby she could borrow if there was indeed H2O in the well, she gasped in shock at the bones she saw, placed her hand over her chest and back up several paces into a tree…

“Ouch, dammit…”

Or at least she thought it was a tree until she turned around and saw the tall male staring blankly down at her.

“Oh…sorry” Mandisa said apologized even though she hurt her back when she bumped into his armor, he however seemed unscathed.

“…” Sesshoumaru just gave her a flat look. Mandisa didn’t know if it was because she bumped him or if because she apologized. For someone who was normally in tuned with other people feelings, ‘Sesshoumaru’ was especially difficult for her to read.

“Sorry?! Is that all you have to say clumsy human, you should beg for milord forgiveness…”

“Jaken!” Sesshoumaru said in a firm heavy tone that made both of them jump.

Knowing what that tone meant, Jaken started to blubber apologizes and practiced what he preached by begging for forgiveness for annoying his lord.

Ignoring the toad she asked in a shaking breath:

“Could you tell me why there are dead animals in a well?

“Youkai.” He said simply.

“What?! That’s what those bones are, dead youkai!” She said her voice going up a few octaves.

“…” Sesshoumaru just stared.

“Okay, I get that look…I think, and it may not make sense for me to ask a question again after you just answer it, but it’s so much for me to take in…And you don’t seem to care why I repeat the question, you just want me to stop doing it?” Her voice went from normal to flat when she made her last statement.

“Precisely.” He said in such an uncaring smart ass tone, it made her bristle.

“Okay, you don’t have to be sarcastic” She said with a frown. Jaken opened his beck, but a glare from his master shut it quickly.

‘Sometimes I think he can read that green thing mind…’ She thought as she observed the two latest interaction.

Still heated with his attitude though, Mandisa turned around and limped as far away from the well and around it to avoid the dead youkai and proceeded as if she knew which way the village was, which she didn’t. She was just aggravated with his coldness, rudeness and silent treatments when he didn’t want to answer her. As she limped away she mumbled:

“If you talked more often, we wouldn’t have these misunderstandings, it’s not my fault you’re a terrible conversationalist…”

Jaken did not have a keen sense of hearing but has master did. Mandisa felt a chill go down her spine after her near inaudible comment and looked over her shoulder to see cold golden cat like eyes giving her one of the dirtiest looks she ever saw.

‘Ah, hell…’

“You hear that didn’t you?” She dared to ask.

“…” He continued to give her a glare which told her obviously he did.

Taking a deep cleansing breath to try and calm her nerves she said:

“Well I’m sorry, but you’re proving my point by not saying anything…”

She just had to rub it in his face, she had to state the proof she observed of her hypothesis. She was a scientist after all. Sometimes a too outspoken one at that.

The guy scared the hell out of her and she was trying so to be diplomatic to get on his good side, but he made it soooooo hard and everyone has a breaking point. Sometimes her mouth spoke before her brain could get a message to it to shut the fuck up!

Deep down she wondered if a tiny part of her wanted him to hear her, she did say it in Japanese instead of English after all…

‘Me and my big mouth and short fuse. Why didn’t I say it English, he won’t have known what I was saying?! Because a part of me wanted him to know, he pisses me off, stupid, stupid, stupid! And why couldn’t I have just kept flattering him like I did earlier?! Although I did speak the truth then and I am speaking the truth now… because of my temper that’s why dammit…I wonder if I should start flattering him again would he go for it?…Naw, he doesn’t look like he’s in the mood for it… well at least when he’s irritated I have an idea of what he is feeling…’ She thought as she remember her father telling her that her mouth and sensitive nature, which lead to her short fuse could get her into trouble one day.

This may be that day.

“What are you doing?” She asked in a bit of a shaky voice as he moved towards her after a few moments as her thoughts zipped through her brain.

She knew it was that day as she thought about whether or not she should hold her makeshift cane in defense position to clobber him in the family jewels or if she shouldn’t move and treat him like a snake. Maybe if she stood still he will ignore her and move on. She figured that an attempt at preventing him from having any children would probably piss him off more. So she decided to wait with her guard up to see what he was going to do. If she saw those hands with knifes attached at the tips move a millimeter even if she stood still, she was going to take her chances and go down fighting.

‘That’s if I’m even able to get a swing at him, he’s way too fast…’

He glided past her and simply said:

“Were going.”

Happy that she wasn’t going to die at the moment after all and relieved that she didn’t embarrass herself by wetting her pants she though

‘Phew, I guess today is not that day after all…’

She stood there for a moment and said out loud to no one in particular:

“How the hell did he hear me as low as I said it?”

Than Jaken put his two cents in:

“You fool Lord Sesshoumaru is a great and powerful daiyoukai, did you actually think he could NOT hear your disrespectful words.” He nearly shouted. He may not have known what she said, but whatever it was, he could tell that his Lord didn’t appreciate it!

“You little…you know what I’m not even going to argue with you right now I have more important business to take care of…”

‘Like getting water, food a good bath, a fresh set of clothes and more importantly, finding a way home.’

Jaken just scoffed and followed after Sesshoumaru with Mandisa limping behind the toad. After that look the evil pretty boy gave her, she figured it was best to keep her distance from the daiyoukai at least for a little while.

‘Did I just think of that…terminator with claws and dagger teeth as a pretty boy? Bad thoughts… go away…away… far, far away.’ She thought with a shudder. Why she shuddered she had no idea and she was not about to elaborate on it.

She had to admit that he was gorgeous, a beauty beyond description and she wondered if he had a nice ass under that waist armor, but he was a killer. A stone cold killer, his name says it all! That alone should be enough to make him unattractive to her. That’s what she firmly told herself. The last thing she ever wanted to do was to take another life or become ‘friendly with someone who did unless it was in total self-defense or defending those you care for.

She got a feeling that from the way he killed that Minotaur with no emotion that he had killed quite often, probably for other reasons besides self-defense or defending his loved ones and it seems as if he doesn’t give it a second thought. That’s scary.

She also told herself that she didn’t like guys that were prettier than her. Hell she found herself wishing that she had is hair. Hers was thick health and a little bit past her shoulders, but his was just so silky. She knew that she wasn’t perfect, but she also knew that she wasn’t a bad catch either. Yet next to him she just felt plain looking.

They walked for a while longer and eventually they walked pass a large ancient tree with a scar on it. She felt her hair stand on end and felt as if something passed through her taking her breath away for a second when she touched said tree so she stepped away from it. Telling her self it was just her nervous and there was no way she would react to a tree like that from merely touching it, she turned towards the daiyoukai and toad that proceeded ahead. Wondering how the scar got there and taking a chance to speak to ‘Silver’ hoping that he wasn’t as pissed anymore, she decided to ask:

“Sesshoumaru, do you know what happened to that tree over there, how did it get that impression on it?”

“Inuyasha.” Sesshoumaru said in his usual flat baritone as he continued to walk.

“Who is Inuyasha?” She asked.

“His hanyou younger brother you nosy human, and address milord properly!” Jaken screeched the last part as he called himself defending his Master honor.

The daiyoukai ignored him for the time being and the human begin decided to question the toad, and not respond to his small rant, interested in knowing more about the mystery male that was Sesshoumaru. They continued to trail behind the daiyoukai, she limped and the toad worked his little legs to catch up with the him. As the worked to catch up and came within a few feet of the tall male she asked Jaken:

“Is his younger brother in the village we are going to?”

Before the conversation could continue, they heard a deep baritone voice call out:

“We are here.” Looking up and making a mental note to pay more attention to her surroundings instead of just watching the daiyoukai and the toad, she saw a village full of small huts. It was early in the evening so everyone was finishing up their work in the fields and farms for the day and she heard one of the villagers call out:

“It’s Lord Sesshoumaru and Lord Jaken, they brought another youkai with them.”

And he were pointing at her!
