She woke again in the dark of the night when the moon was high. She said nothing to him and didn't move, she just looked at the moon for a long time.

"It's so close"

He looked up at it,

"It's almost like I could touch it" She reached her tiny slender handout and he smelt the tears instantly.

"The jewel?" She asked pulling her hand back down,

"It is safe"

She moved and he helped her sit, still in his lap. Her head hurt and her hands went to her face "My head hurts"

As it should, she was hurt "You have lost a lot of blood" He told her. She finally looked at him and his gold eyes pierce her. The moon brought out his eyes just as it shined against her jet black hair. Her saw heartbreak in her eye, and it unsettled him. She looked down at her clothes, she was covered in blood "I'm sorry, the smell must bother you" She whispered.

"It calls to me" He admitted,

She looked at him "Calls to you?"

"The beast within me wishes to rid you of it"

"Why didn't you?"

"I would not touch your person without consent miko"

She looked at her hands "Is there water nearby?"

"Your wounds need to healed first miko"

"I have no power right now"

"You are drained, I will aid with concent"

She looked back at him "You, want to touch me?"

"I am already touching you"

She was too tired to even argue or ask why he had a reason to be there apparently.

"When we are finished, I will take you to the water"

"Hia" She said quietly.

"Turn" She turned in his lap "Loosen your top"

She did without care, it wasn't like he was trying to pull a Miroku. She felt him tug at her clothing and while he did her mind went to her friends, she was so glad they at least were safe. He brushed her hair away and she held it, and as soon as is tongue made contact with her back she hissed and arched.

Her blood, it was far more powerful than he would have thought, and it was sweet on his lips, her hiss and arch of her back did not help his situation at all. He liked it again, across her shoulder, this time she just took in air, by the third lick she had goosebumps. His mouth was warm and she sat her still, the first lick stung, the second cooled the third felt really good. She could fell her skin bind, tighten.

He moved to the other shoulder and did the same thing and it had her closing her eyes tight, the feeling was, different.

"Sit on your knees," He said, his voice a little more rough than normal, but she paid no mind doing only as she was told. His hand went to one hip while his tongue dragged over the back side of the other, this stung a little more and she whimpered, when he was finished he pulled her back down.

Her breathing started to pick up and her mind was becoming clearer, now that she was more awake.

"Miko" He asked, seeing her trembled "Why are you afraid" He didn't understand, why did she have to fear right now?

"You're, so close" She stated in a whispered.

In hit him, she was afraid of him.

"You fear me now?"

"I, I'm not afraid"

"You are trembling"

She turned to look at him "I just never realized that you, so capable of giving death could be so, gentle"

She was afraid because he was gentle with her? He didn't know but her eyes were burning into his and he flet the urge to go on, to test the limits, to see just how much he could make her tremble.

"Why" She whispered,

He gave her no answer to her question but instead demanded of her "Face me"
