We had just killed Mai and her whole crew, they really weren't much of a challenge. I didn't have a spot of blood on me and, of course, neither did Sesshomaru. I walked over to him and said, "They almost weren't worth the effort."

"I know." He knelt down in front of me, back towards me. I climbed on, though not really knowing why. He asked, "Do you trust me?"

"Yes." I answered without hesitation.

"Then close your eyes." He told me.

I did as told and suddenly felt the wind whipping around me. I realized he was flying, not like keeping pace with me, like flying as fast as he could. Somehow I fell asleep during the flight....

I woke up laying on the ground, it was unusually hot. I sat up and looked around, finding I was laying next to a hot spring, but Sesshomaru was nowhere in sight. I ran my hand through the water, feeling the calm already starting to spread through me. I couldn't help but strip and slowly lower myself into the water.

I relaxed and disappeared behind the raised edge. I stretched my hearing, but I heard nothing. No animals were in the vicinity, no people, no daemons and no Sesshomaru. "Tenshi?"

I whipped my head around towards the voice, but had to raise myself up a little so I could see over the edge. I crossed my arms and propped my chin up on them, "Sesshomaru, you about scared me to death."

"Then we're even." He shrugged and sat down next to the ledge.

"What do you mean?"

He pushed a stray hair out of my face, his hand lingering on my cheek before saying, "Well I expected you to be where I left you, so when you weren't....."

"Sorry but I really couldn't resist." I told him.

"It's okay." He stood and started taking off his swords.

I asked, "What are you doing?"

He shrugged saying, "Coming in."

I felt my face heat up but turned away from him and relaxed back into the water closing my eyes, trying not to think about him right outside getting undressed..... I closed my eyes and sunk as far as I could into the water, trying to concentrate on the relaxing warmth that was spreading through me.

I heard nothing, but I felt the small ripples showing that Sesshomaru had gotten in. I couldn't help but run a hand through my hair, something Sesshomaru had pointed out that I always do when I was nervous or anxious. Nervous was definitally an understatement right now. I mean who the Hell wouldn't be?

I felt the water move again, but I still heard nothing. I sighed and sunk under the water completely, only sitting up again when I ran out of air. I opened my eyes but it was only to look at my now soaking wet hair and try to move it out of my face. I sighed and said to myself, "I hate my hair sometimes."

"Why?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Because I hate having wet hair in my face, it seems like every time I try to move it I'm gonna rip it out." I told him, still messing with my hair.

I felt the water move again and my hair was pushed out of my face. Sesshomaru tucked it behind me ear, now sitting beside me. He said, "You shouldn't hate your hair, even if it's only sometimes. It's beautiful."

I felt my face heat up at him being so close but I kept my eyes on his. I smile and reach out, running my hand through his hair at least what I could reach, "No, your hair it beautiful. It's silky and silver. Mine's just plain black."

He caught my wrist when I started to pull away and said, "Your hair is black as midnight and frames you beautifully, it's anything but plain, just like you."
