				<div align="center">(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i55/TamaRose75/My%20Roleplay%20Characters/0951.png)</div><br><div align="center"><strong>Natsuye Rose Takahiro was a shy and quite girl for the most part but what people didn't really know about her is that if she got upset enough,she had quite a temper and would let anyone and everyone know exactly how she felt.Especially,when she thought someone was being treated unfairly or was being pushed around.Granted she<br>was not a very big girl or strong but she was fiery when she needed to be which caused most people that knew her to back off and leave her alone.<br><br>The daughter of a farmer and herbalist,Natsuye had the best of both worlds.Learning how to tend to the animals and fields from her father while trying to heal men from battles and neighboring villagers from her mother.She was quite a smart young girl for being from a different era.Most women were meant to be good wives,breeders and workers and not much else.Yet,when no one else was around she did her best to learn to read from some some of the more educated scholars at the nearby temple without anyone knowing it.For some reason she just wanted something more for herself,other then being a naive little house wife that would do nothing but cook,clean,and tend to the children.She wanted to be more well rounded then most,probably making others look down on her by alot of the local men.Which of course would not help her in finding a suitable mate when the time came.In either case she didn't want to be anyone special.Just a little more wiser and smarter and to be honest what was wrong with that?<br><br>Something else that she had always wanted to learn as well was to defend herself in case someone ever game along and tried to harm her or her family.Alot of people didn't see it very lady like but again she was quite curious and wanted to learn.Not to mention she was quite hard headed and determined when she wanted to educate herself further.Who knows.Maybe if the local villagers didn't take a fancy in her someone higher outside of the village would and then she could help her parents become even better at what they did.Someone out there would just have to love a peasant woman that was a little more educated then most....right?<br><br>With her hair a bright red and her eyes a brilliant green,her eyes shifted over the crystal blue stream as she continued to gather water to take back to the village.It was such a beautiful sunny day and the smell of the cherry blossoms whisped through the air,making the day even more wonderful then usual.If she could have sat and enjoyed the day more she would have but with chores yet to be done before having fun,she picked up the buckets of water and began carrying them back to her village,stopping only when she heard a noise coming from some nearby trees.<br><br>"H....hello!Is someone there?"<br><br>Noticing,only a pair of shiny green peering out from the trees with brightly sharp teeth,she left out a high pitch scream as she dropped her buckets and began running back toward her village.</strong></div>

				<div align="center">(http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/B/BR/BRI/BrightenStar/1150081238_homaru0292.jpg)</div><br>Sesshomaru was a well known individual.&nbsp; Especially amongst the demon peoples.&nbsp; He was highly powerful, and extremely aloof.&nbsp; He was a greater demon, and lord of the western lands.&nbsp; He also hated it.&nbsp; He had a reputation to maintain, and expectations to live up to.&nbsp; Ones that were placed upon him because his <em>father</em> was killed trying to protect a human.&nbsp; Which was why he rarely spent time at his fortress anymore.&nbsp; Not to mention the fact that Rin and Jaken seemed to be much more irritating than usual.&nbsp; He had left unexpectedly, and decided it would be for an indeterminate amount of time.&nbsp; He just needed to leave.<br><br>Walking slowly through the trees, Sesshomaru tilted his face upwards and took a deep breath of the crisp air, his golden eyes closing as he relaxed slightly.&nbsp; His black shoed feet made only a whisper over the green of the forest floor.&nbsp; His hand raised and slowly traced through the soft fur of his mokomoko resting upon his right shoulder.&nbsp; He was about to form his nimbus below his feet to leave the area, when he heard a high-pitched scream in the distance.&nbsp; Hesitating briefly, the smell of youkai was strong in the air, causing him to release a growl as he burst into motion, leaping toward the sound, feet moving in a blur as he flew through the forest.<br><br>Bursting from the trees, he surveyed the scene with his molten eyes, as he darted across the cleared area and grabbed the youkai around the neck with one clawed hand.&nbsp; With an almost casual jerk, he threw the youkai away from the running girl and reached down to his waist, slowly drawing tokijin from its sheath.&nbsp; With a raised eyebrow, he observed the obviously feral demon before him.&nbsp; The demon threw itself forward with a bestial roar, and Sesshomaru stepped from its path, flicking his wrist once more, tokijin slicing deep into the demon’s arm, removing it at the elbow before finishing the movement and removing the demon’s head.&nbsp; <br><br>Carefully replacing tokijin in its sheath, he turned to look at the demon’s prey, a human girl.&nbsp; His expressionless face revealed nothing as he surveyed her before him, tilting his head slightly as he relaxed his arm, dropping it to his side.&nbsp; He felt his white hair lift and flutter in the light breeze as he quietly watched her.&nbsp; Blinking once, he turned his back on her and slowly moved away, stopping once to glance at her over his shoulder.&nbsp; <br><br>“You should return to your village, human,” he said quietly, his eyes locking with her green ones, “It is dangerous in the forest for a human, let alone a human woman.”

				Feeling the tug on his sleeve, Sesshomaru stopped and glanced down at her hand upon his white sleeve.&nbsp; Raising one eyebrow, he locked his amber gaze upon her, fighting the urge to growl.&nbsp; He was mildly impressed by her unfrightened attitude, but couldn't help but wonder if she knew he was a demon, just like the one that had attacked her.&nbsp; Maybe she believed his markings to be tattoos of some form, but he couldn't possibly think of an excuse for his sharpened claws, or pointed ears.&nbsp; <br><br>"Remove your hands from this Sesshomaru," he said coldly, looking back down at her small hand, then adding belatedly, "Please.&nbsp; Your hospitality is appreciated, human, but this Sesshomaru must decline."&nbsp; There were delicate ways to decline hospitality, and his rank amongst society dictated that he must be polite...ish.&nbsp; She was human afterall.&nbsp; "It was no problem preserving your life, human," he said dismissively, "But it was not this Sesshomaru's intent to save your life, but to eliminate an encroaching demon upon this Sesshomaru's lands."<br><br>Staring down at her, he lifted his chin slightly, almost too little to be noticed, as he stepped away from her slightly.&nbsp; Beginning to turn away to once again slip into the trees and vanish.&nbsp; Hesitating slightly, his brow furrowing slightly, he glanced back at her before doing so.

				Hearing her move back toward the village, Sesshomaru stopped and looked up at the sky through the trees, heaving a great sigh before turning back around, watching her as she finished her chores.&nbsp; Why did the human make him so curious?&nbsp; It did pose a certain question to the demon, though, causing him to pause in his movements, hidden in the shadows of the towering vegetation.&nbsp; Watching as she turned to walk back toward where he assumed her village was, he made a sudden decision to follow her back.&nbsp; To make sure there weren't any other demon's following, of course.&nbsp; That was what he told himself anyways.&nbsp; <br><br>Careful to remain in the shadows, and out of her sight, he stopped at the edge of the trees, overlooking the village.&nbsp; He couldn't recall the name, causing him to frown, but he did know they were within his dominion.&nbsp; He didn't realize he had been standing there for a long time until one of the village dogs began barking at him, running from in front of a simple hut towards him, barking all the while.&nbsp; Starting slightly, he growled low in his throat, causing the canine to stop and stare at his spot within the trees, head tilted.&nbsp; He growled once again, the dog turning to run back toward the hut it had been 'protecting'.<br><br>"What am I doing," he asked himself, scowling, before turning his back and slowly walking away from the small village, glancing back once more, watching her perform her chores for a second before returning his gaze toward the path he was traveling along.

				<div align="center"><strong>After spending several hours of working in the fields,stables and inside the hut cleaning and preparing the evenings meal,Natsuye finally decided on washing up a bit before sneaking off to have a little time to herself.So,grabbing one of the scrolls from under her pillow that the scholars had given her to read,she quickly slid it under her kimono before running off and finding herself a private spot on the edge of the village under a shady cherry blossom tree.<br><br>Looking around to make sure no one was around,she gently took the scroll from her robe and opened it up carefully like it was a prozed piece of gold and sat it down in front of her.Then doing the best she could,she began to slowly read aloud,pronouncing each and every single word,mulling it over in her head and trying to understand the meaning of them each......</strong></div><br>

				Wandering through the wood, Sesshomaru came upon a lone cherry tree in blossum.&nbsp; Looking around, he gathered himself before leaping into the branches overhead, perching upon a sturdy branch and looking up into the slightly cloudy sky, thinking furiously.&nbsp; Lifting a clawed hand, he reached out and pulled a cherry blossom from a branch, peering down at the pale flower held in the palm of his clawed hand.&nbsp; Shifting slightly, he glanced toward the village, which was easily visible from his vantage point, frowning the whole while as his fist closed around the cherry blossom briefly before dropping it to the ground below.<br><br>He heard the sound of feet upon the ground, causing the dog demon to look toward the sound.&nbsp; The sounds materialized into the form of the young woman he had saved in the forest earlier.&nbsp; She moved to sit upon the ground below him, looking shifty before withdrawing a scroll from her kimono and beginning to read.&nbsp; He was surprised, not only was she unknowledgeable of his kind, she was educated too.&nbsp; There weren't too many educated females in the world, and this further intrigued the demon lord.&nbsp; Looking down, his sharp eyes quickly spotted the glyphs upon the scroll and he was easily able to read what was written.&nbsp; He sat and listened to her read for a while, knowing there was no way he could leave his perch without being spotted.&nbsp; And all she had to do was look up to see him sitting above her.&nbsp; Lifting his gaze back up to the sky he fought the urge to sigh in frustration.

				He had gotten lost in thought once more as she read through the scroll, her voice stopping every so often to sound the words out.&nbsp; He allowed his golden eyes to shut as he took in the sounds of her reading, and the quiet forest.&nbsp; He heard a voice in the distance and thought nothing of it, until the girl below began gathering her stuff.&nbsp; <em>Must be her kin,</em> he thought to himself, opening his eyes and glancing down at her before locking his eyes upon the sky once more.&nbsp; He wasn't paying attention to her when she opened her mouth and shouted back toward the village, nearly causing him to fall from his perch as he jerked his hands up to his sensitive ears.<br><br>When she was far enough away, he growled low in his throat, glaring in that direction.&nbsp; "Why do humans always have to yell," he asked aloud, almost able to hear Jaken's insipid reply, "Inuyasha's miko does the same.&nbsp; Always yelling."&nbsp; Shifting slightly, he dropped from the tree to land softly where she had been sitting earlier.&nbsp; He was in view of the village, looking over the gathering of huts with his confusion written plain upon his features, not that they could be seen from the village.&nbsp; It was a slightly sheltered village, causing Sesshomaru to wonder if any of them had seen demons around, and a masculine shout from the village's edge gave him his answer.&nbsp; <br><br>"DEMON!&nbsp; DEMON AT THE VILLAGE BORDER!"&nbsp; <br><br>Well, Sesshomaru had two options, slip into the forest undetected, or keep standing where he was while the villagers undoubtedly gathered weapons to attempt to fight with.&nbsp; And he didn't feel like moving.&nbsp; Standing where he was, he raised his eyebrow, quickly replacing his 'emotionless mask' and awaited the action of the villagers.

				Sesshomaru watched with disbelief as the men slowly rallied.&nbsp; They must not be plagued by many demons.&nbsp; Slowly striding toward the village, he watched as they ran to and fro, trying to position themselves into a good attack position.&nbsp; His gait was leisurely as he closed the distance to the village, not truly looking for a fight, just curious as to why these humans could possibly think they would pose him, Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands, any threat whatsoever.&nbsp; Nearing the first of the huts, a villager armed with a pitchfork lunged at him, only for Sesshomaru to sidestep and jerk the pitchfork from his grasp.&nbsp; Reaching forward and fisting his hand in the man's kimono and dragging him up to eye level.<br><br>"You shall tell your village elder that Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands is here, puny human," he growled, baring his pointed canines in challenge, "And you are to cease all hostilities toward this Sesshomaru before I kill you all to the last man.&nbsp; Do you understand, human?"<br><br>The man nodded furiously, causing Sesshomaru to drop him to the ground, allowing the man to scramble away fearfully.&nbsp; Sesshomaru continued his steady walk into the village's center, and as he rounded a corner, he came upon the young woman from the forest lying on the ground before another armed man.&nbsp; By the appearance of the two, and the smell of agitation in the air, Sesshomaru guessed she hadn't found herself sitting there of her own volition.&nbsp; He was standing behind the man, and out of his sight, but the female could clearly see his white-clad form.<br><br>"Males should be protecting their women, human," Sesshomaru said stiffly from his slightly shadowed place behind him, "Not harming them.&nbsp; You must be stupid, and excessively weak."

				Hearing the female's comment about saving the village from the demon, Sesshomaru couldn't help but snort in amusement, she really didn't know what he was.&nbsp; When the man raised his hand and struck her, Sesshomaru stepped forward, baring his teeth in a wordless challenge.&nbsp; The man turned, and Sesshomaru was pleased to see the horror and fear pass through his gaze as he identified the demon behind him.&nbsp; With reflexes slightly more surprising than Sesshomaru originally though, the man lunged blade first, the point centered upon his abdomen.&nbsp; <br><br>Stepping forward and twisting sharply, Sesshomaru stepped inside the man's guard and grabbed him by the front of his kimono, pinning his sword arm in the process.&nbsp; The move was inhumanly fast, and equally graceful, his golden eyes hard as he stared down at the man.&nbsp; He felt his eyes start to bleed red around the edges of his iris as he glared down at the weak human caught within his grasp, lifting the man from his feet and holding him a good foot from the ground easily.&nbsp; <br><br>"I've always despised your kind, human," Sesshomaru growled, jaw clenching, "And now, I just despise you.&nbsp; Only the weak and cowardly prey on women and children.&nbsp; Even demons do not stoop as low as you humans.&nbsp; Pity that your species is so useful.&nbsp; And lucky for you.&nbsp; Drop your weapon, and I may be merciful.&nbsp; Don't, and I shall rend you limb from limb, slowly."<br><br>Over the man's shoulder, Sesshomaru glanced toward the human female, wondering what he would see in her eyes.&nbsp; And if she even recognized him for what he was yet.&nbsp; Due to his current preoccupation, he failed to hear the sound of a pair of men approaching him from behind, weapons bared, advancing with an intent to kill.&nbsp; The village elder didn't appreciate the Demon Lord's command.

				Nostrils flaring, Sesshomaru heard the scrape of weapons returning to sheaths behind him, causing him to turn and look sharply at the two men standing there.&nbsp; Good thing they didn't attack, he would have been wounded, and then he would have had to kill them both.&nbsp; Tightening his grip on the man's kimono, he turned and glared at him, claws piercing the cloth in his hand.&nbsp; Shaking the man slightly, so his attention returned to the proper recipient, Sesshomaru growled in annoyance.<br><br>"Stupid human," he said acidically, "If I wanted her dead, she would be.&nbsp; As would everyone else in this village."<br><br>Looking back at her as she stopped beside him, he tensed slightly as she seemed to inspect him, his gold eyes wary.&nbsp; Returning his gaze to the man, he tired of holding him, and his almost over powering smell of fear so close.&nbsp; Reaching with one clawed hand, he jerked the sword from the man's hand before throwing the human a good ten feet away from himself.&nbsp; Looking down at the sword in his hand, he turned it a couple of times before handing it to her.<br><br>"Don't flatter yourself, woman," he said quietly, knowing very well she could hear him, "I have far more important things to do than save a human woman."&nbsp; Raising his voice slightly in response to the man's tone, he advanced a step toward the man who was now in the position she had previously been in.&nbsp; "And you should respect your betters, human," Sesshomaru growled, poison starting to drip from his claws, "I am Lord of these lands, human, and there would be no repercussions to killing you.&nbsp; But, you are not worth the small effort it would be to spill your blood, so I'll settle for never seeing you again.&nbsp; If I do, I will kill you."<br><br>He watched as the man scrambled from the infuriated demon lord, clenching his jaw with irritation.&nbsp; Oh, how disrespectful the inner villages were.&nbsp; There once was a time when they were the most respectful to their respective Lord, but not any more apparently.&nbsp; Something would have to be done.&nbsp; Turning slightly, he looked down at the human, face expressionless once more.&nbsp; He didn't understand why he didn't kill her for her presumptions, he killed everyone else who made the same mistake, but not her for some inexplicable reason.&nbsp; He stood in silence for a long moment, but soon decided some diplomacy couldn't hurt in the situation.<br><br>"Thank you, woman," he said calmly, fighting the urge to twitch with the effort that took to say to a human, let alone a woman.

				Locking eyes with her, Sesshomaru drew in a breath to speak before hesitating, his crescent-marked forehead wrinkling in thought as he released his breath in a loud sigh.&nbsp; Turning his head away from her, he blinked slowly, hands fisting with his annoyance.&nbsp; Her and Rin were quite alike in the way they rattled on, not giving him a chance to answer before asking another question, or changing the topic.&nbsp; Looking back at her, his stare hard as one of his eyebrows raised slightly, he held up a hand, signaling her to halt her line of questioning.<br><br>"If you truly want the answers to your question, woman," he began slowly, "You need to give me an opportunity to answer.&nbsp; I saw no need to tell you I was a demon, because I wasn't hiding it, and it was easily identifiable.&nbsp; Not all of us are rabid like the one in the forest.&nbsp; We too, have morals, human.&nbsp; And I saved you as a consequence of ridding my lands of a rabid demon.&nbsp; No more, no less."<br><br>If one knew what to look for, they could easily realize he had spent time with a human.&nbsp; His young ward, Rin, held a special place in the demon's heart, having managed to worm her way within somehow.&nbsp; Thinking about the young girl that had been in his care for some time, Sesshomaru looked down at the small piece of orange silk tied upon his shoulder armor.&nbsp; Rin had placed it there randomly one day, and he had yet to bring himself to remove it.&nbsp; Lifting his eyes back to hers, he tilted his head, regarding her curiously.&nbsp; She knew now what he was, yet was seemingly unafraid of him.&nbsp; It was strange, not to mention yet another quality she shared with his young ward.

				Hearing her in his sleep, Sesshomaru battled against the fever within, trying to keep himself focused on her voice.&nbsp; Around him, his power fluctuated, pulsing irregularly around him.&nbsp; He heard her say Rin's name, and he felt his determination grow.&nbsp; Yes, he needed to stay strong for Rin, and Jaken.&nbsp; And Natsuye.&nbsp; In the short time he had known her, she had managed to wheedle her way into his heart.<br><br>Forcing his eyes open, he looked up at her, panting in his fever-induced weakness.&nbsp; Swallowing, he reached up and gently brushed his fingertips along the back of her hand.&nbsp; "I'm sorry," he muttered again, "You'll stay?"&nbsp; Groaning, he looked over and spotted the medicine she had just made, eyes beginning to droop again.&nbsp; "You forgot one person," he said, not even realizing what he was saying with his fever, "You forgot yourself."

				Hearing that, he smiled weakly, his eyes glazed slightly from the fever.&nbsp; Reaching for the cup, he struggled to sit up to drink it, unable to summon the coordination necessary to brace himself on his elbow so he could drink.&nbsp; Finally managing to prop himself up, he lifted the cup in one shaking hand and downed the entire mixture of the medicine, handing the cup back before sinking bonelessly back onto the mat.&nbsp; <br><br>"Alright," he agreed easily as his eyes slipped closed, tasting the stronger, bitter medicine on his tongue, "You're the doctor.&nbsp; I'll be good."&nbsp; Shivering again he attempted to burrow deeper into the blankets, not even feeling the heat of the fire.&nbsp; Turning his head toward her, his nostrils flared, making sure she was still there.

				Hearing her move through the water, he fought the urge to peek through his fingers to see her fully for the first time.&nbsp; He wondered if she would permit him to help her wash her back, but once more banished the thought.&nbsp; He seemed to be doing that far more often lately.&nbsp; He could smell the oils she used, and it made his mouth water, the smell being one of his favorites.&nbsp; Shaking his head, he carefully crossed his legs and sank to the ground, bracing his elbow on his knee hand still covering his closed eyes.<br><br>"No," he said quickly, before adding in a meek tone, "I mean.&nbsp; I'm not in pain, I feel great.&nbsp; Just take your time."&nbsp; Licking his lips, he fought to keep his mind from thinking of her in varying states of undress, and to keep his body from showing his arousal which would be highly embarrassing.&nbsp; Biting his lower lip, he felt himself begin to become aroused at the sounds she made while bathing.&nbsp; He wanted her, that much was certain, he just didn't know how to go about getting her.

				Blushing slightly at her final inquiry, Sesshomaru ducked his head, attempting to hide his slight embarrassment.&nbsp; It wasn't the type of question he was used to.&nbsp; Scratching the side of his nose, the demon lord cleared his throat, sighing as he looked back up at her, his blush at a more manageable level.&nbsp; Licking his lips, he drew in a couple deep breaths before speaking quietly.<br><br>"The smell is...desire, I guess," he said, trying to put it delicately, rubbing his hand across his face before continuing, "And I can smell it because I am a dog demon, hightened sense of smell, hearing, sight.&nbsp; No, no, no.&nbsp; It's not a bad smell...just alluring, and it makes me feel...odd." Swallowing, he turned his head away, his blush still radiant upon his face as silence fell between them.

				Sesshomaru could feel her hands still grasping at his rear as his hips thrust into her in a slow and steady rhythm.&nbsp; Allowing her to control the tempo of their kiss for several moments, he pressed back against her, his own tongue sliding along hers.&nbsp; Sliding his free hand along her sides, he found her breast once more, gently kneading it between his fingers, occasionally pinching or flicking her sensitive nipple.<br><br>His muscles were trembling by this point, feeling the strain of holding off the almost constant arousal since their bath the previous evening.&nbsp; He could feel his end approaching, and he focused on keeping his lips glued to hers, trying to fight it back so he could show her the true pleasure of the act.&nbsp;
