Sesshoumaru glanced at the sleeping girl beside him. 'I have no idea what to do with her' Sesshoumaru thought sighing as he looked up to the sky above them it had been at least two hours since she had fell asleep and he had been wondering what to do with her the whole time.
The girl intrigued him but he wasn't one to let that stop him from killing a foe. She had attacked him and for that alone he should have killed her but instead he was curious. Then she regained for him his lost arm to which he was truly grateful after having given up on finding a replacement for it. After another long hour of thinking Sesshoumaru decided he would wait until she awoke and then leave. He had nothing to do with her and he'd go back to Rin and Jaken as normal and continue on without even thinking about the odd female beside him ever again. "Morning" Ruby said softly as she stretched, opening her eyes. "I'd hardly say it was morning" Sesshoumaru said. "You're still here?" She asked in slight shock. "If I weren't I'd not be talking to you, and you would have been a fool for greeting no one" Sesshoumaru said unsure of why he was talking with her. It hadn't been the plan. The plan was to up and go once she awoke but here he was sitting and chatting with her as though it was normal. "On the contrary if you weren't here then I wouldn't seem like a fool greeting no one, as no one would be there to see me" Ruby said smirking as she stood dipping her hands into the river in front of them. "I just want to tell you that I'm not sorry for attacking you, it's in my nature" Ruby said as Sesshoumaru just stared at her tossing water into the air like a child. "What exactly is this nature of yours?" Sesshoumaru asked feeling he might as well attempt to get some answers out of her as she seemed to be more relaxed and somewhat lively. "I'm half demon half goddess; Chaos goddess to be exact thus my desire to fight you" she said looking over at him from the side of the river. 'She had no grudge against me or anything she just sensed my strength and attacked' Sesshoumaru thought almost insulted by her attitude. "You know you're an interesting guy, I thought I had most creatures figured but then you surprise me. Instead of going all out in attempts to kill me you just block my attacks. And when I was weak and on the brink you didn't finish me off and as I was sleeping you could have easily killed me or left but you didn't. So here's my question for you. Why?" Ruby said eyes glowing violently. "You intrigue me" Sesshoumaru said simply causing a surprised look to cross her face before she began laughing. He didn't however take too kindly to that laughing at all. "I'm sorry but seriously that's why you did all that? Because somehow I interested you, that's almost an insult you know" Ruby said laughter gone as she eyed him dangerously.
"Are you intending to fight me again?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Nah did that already; though you didn't go all out I know your movements now and it wouldn't be a fun battle. That and you spared my life and though I returned your limb I still owe you my life as it is. Truth be known fixing your arm was nothing short of simple though it took a bit of energy. Then again I'll admit that I'm only half goddess so my powers are a little weaker" Ruby stated looking at Sesshoumaru who had stood up. "You heading off now?" Ruby asked "Yes" was all he said as he began to walk away. Ruby ran over and flipped over him pressing her lips to his briefly before jumping back onto a tree limb. "I guess you intrigue me too" she said simply. Sesshoumaru looked at her for a long while before continuing off. 'What a shame we'll never see each other again' Ruby thought vanishing from sight.

-The End-

---

A/N: Ok I know the ending was really crappy but this was originally intended to have been a one-shot idea but then I took so long to write each part that it ended up as a bunch of small chapters. When I get the chance though I'm going to take down all the chapters, edit them and re-format them. Then I'll post it back up as the originally intended one-shot.
