Crossing Paths

Chapter 1 : The Time We Met

The day was bright and shining as the sun hit threw the trees of the forest like it was some magical fairy tale. The wind gently brushing thew the trees creating a scene that would make any stressed mind relax.

A little girl walked threw the forest paths and off paths in the grass feeling the greens threw her toes as she skipped along happily free from her village for at least a few hours. Plus it wasn't like they cared.

The little girl walked closer to these trees and bushes as she saw some mushrooms that weren't poisonous to humans so she went and picked some but as she was picking her dinner she heard gasping and panting as if they couldn't breath. The little girl looked past the bushes behind some trees seeing a white figure laying on there back turned away from her. They had silver hair and it was REALLY long. The girl walked out past the bushes as she soon was eye to eye with a demon.

She wasn't exactly eye to eye. But the two met eye contact as the demon growled and hissed with red eyes glowing in anger and yet distress. The young girl gulped as she slowly walked from her shield of the tree and stepped forward towards the demon.

He was a he...The girl found out as she seen him up close. But far away his long hair was a bit deceiving. He was badly hurt but what ran threw the girls mind was 'Is he alone?' That was it, but she was determined to help..She pour some water atop of the demon's head as he hissed again and turned his face away from the human as he huffed acting like she wasn't there. But the girl did not care, she was used to it.

The little girl soon walked off but before hand she took a Good look at the demon she had vowed to take care of. He was tall and had a furry tail thing around his fallen body his shirt and kimono pants were white and he had patterns on his sleeves and his left shoulder. But that left shoulder was cut open with a wound and the black armor she had no chance to know what it looked like as it was shattered half way. He had a yellow sash obi and this one lone sword that looked like it was never used. He had these shoes that she had never seen before. In fact only sandals were seen in her village while this man had these boot like shoes on his feet. But she just guessed that demons just had a more classy like life as she still wondered of where his family or friends were at. But she hoped he would get better as only Kami knew what the villagers would do.

The little girl slepted in an old hut as she tossed and turned in the night like she usually did. Her dreams haunted by nightmares that never wanted to leave her mind. She would whimper and cry silently in her sleep as the girl was Mute. She had always been sense she had been very small. But she wasn't a weakling, she was strong.. But seeing the horrors of her bloody lonely past always made her feel all the lonelier.

But the girl finally found sleep late in the night as the winds blew and she covered herself up with an old tattered blanket as she shivered to keep her small form warm.

That morning was a good day as she hoped her patient was feeling better but as her heart felt the loneliness in her life she secretly wished that hew as still there needing her help.

She walked over to where she had found the demon the other day as she had food in her hands on a leaf as she had sacrificed her meal to try and help this demon. She saw him asleep for a glimpse but he open up his eyes and looked to her as his eyebrows creased forming an angered type look. But the girl just ignore the look as she came up and offered the demon food. But a second later as her mind registered what had just happened her food that she had made for the demon was on the ground as the demon had smacked the food out of her hands as he was looking away from the tiny girl.." Don't trouble yourself I do not eat human food." The demon had said as the girl looked up and sighed as she left him be. But she wouldn't give up.

That night the young girl was in the river while the villagers were asleep fishing for food as she had given hers to the demon she was taking care of. But the villagers were not really asleep as the men of the villagers were wide awake and they caught her...They came at her as they found her stealing fish from them. They beat her and threatened her saying that if they ever catch her stealing food from them again they would kill her. They said that they did so much for her, but that was a bunch of crap. But it scared them to know that she never made a sound even when hit and beaten. One villager explained that it is because her family was killed by Bandits infront of her very eyes that makes her mute.

That morning the little girl from the cold village walked over to the demon that she had found two days ago as she only held a leaf with a dead rat and lizard. The demon looked over to her seeing her face as he didn't say anything while the girl runs up to him like she had for the past two days offering him food again. But instead of smacking it from her or simply ignoring her he turned his head away.." No thank you.."He simply said as the girl sighed looking down as she was just content to sit next to him. She was never this close to anyone unless they were hitting her. "Where did you get those bruises?" The demon asked as the girl looked up surprised beyond belief."You don't have to tell me..If you don't want to.."The demon said as all she could do is smile up at him as she saw him looked to her with two perfect beautiful golden eyes.

The girl still smiled up at him as laughter was followed after a small sound that seemed stuck in her throat trying to form completely but just could not. "Why are you smalling? All I did was ask a question.."The demon said as he sounded a bit confused as she just left him be skipping on one foot as she never had felt so happy in her life..

When she finally got to her hut in the back of the small village next to a river a man was there rummaging threw her things as she came in and gasped a tiny sound from her throat as the demon looked over to her. This demon was different he had raggity old cloths and one of his eyes was closed and had a scar down it as he had sharp teeth and long old nails as he looked over to her." Do you own this huffel?" He asked as she half way hid behind a wooden log that held up her home nodding but it was too late as there were screams heard from the village.

There were wolves everywhere as the girl looked over and covered her mouth gasping in silence as fright filled her eyes. The wolves come at the demon she just met that was in her hut. He pushed her aside as he ran into the river, the wolves jumping in and dragging him out. The demon looked up and saw this human like demon with pointed ears and long dark hair thats in a pony tail high atop his head with blue green eyes wit no shine in them. The demon that was soaking went and bloody from the wolves that attacked him.. He yelled "Kouga!" The demon before him smirked as the little girl from her hut watched as there was this pretty little shard that was a jewel like was passed to the demon 'Kouga' as the demon that laid on the ground asked if everything was alright now and that they could forget about this. The wolf demon turned away for a second before completely attacking the demon with one hand ripping his skull in half as the demon Kouga looked at him with bored eyes saying.." Now we are.." Then the demon Kouga left leaving his wolves to kill the villagers.

The little girl ran and ran after watching almost all of her fellow villagers killed and ripped apart along with being eaten by the pack of wolves. They went after her.

After about what felt like hours hat was really only a few minutes as she just kepted thinking to go to the demon she met two days ago...To go to him as she didn't think of what would happen afterwards but in her mind watching him turn away from her she started to cry. But soon as she ran she tripped over a root that was above ground on the path as her foot was caught and she fell to her death as the wolves pounced and in one chomp killed her.

The demon that has been injured for two days almost three days not being able to move from his spot was healed enough finally to leave as his servant Jaken finally found him. The imp demon tells his Lord that he didn't have to move as the demon tried to stand and finally got up on his two feet."Let us go Home.. Jaken.."The demon says. But once he did he smelled Blood...The scent of Blood and Wolves..

After walking for a bit the demon soon found what he was looking for.. he had remembered the scent of blood from the young girl that always came to him with food and water. The huge scent of blood came from where she would always go home. But he did not follow that scent. He just went to the scent of the dead girl who laid there lifeless.

The Imp demon Jaken walked over to the lifeless body as he looked at her sighing.." Killed with one Chomp... Look at this! Wolf Bites.."Jaken said as he looked back down at the girl and then to his Lord.."Did you have any use for this human?" he asked as his Lord turned to the side about to walk away.." No.." The demon Lord said as he then got a flashing memory of the little girl smiling at him for no reason at all as he stood there for a second before turning back and walking towards the girl.

He looked down at the young dead face of the little girl that he only knew for about three days..." Maybe, I should test it, once more..." The demon said as he pulled out his sword as he unsheathed his sword as it glowered a eerie Blue glow that just seemed to sparkle as he lowered his eyelids seeing these weird imp like demon Reapers that were peaking at the young maidens soul. He swung his sword and killed the Reapers after the girl's soul as he sheathed his sword once more bending over as he keeled before the girl and lifted her up against him with his one arm seeing what would happen. The expression on his face was surprised as he saw the little girl breathing and soon wince as she opened her big chocolate brown eyes stareing up at the demon.

Thats when she noticed his face completely, he had two strips upon his face on his cheeks and a purple crescent moon on his forehead as his beautiful silver locks curved around it. His eyes were still that golden color of suns and the sparkle of the night moon as he also had bold red markings over his eyelids over his long eyelashes. The girl gasped as she realized that she was being held by the demon as she moved a bit not to get away but he slowly got up as she stood on her feet looking up at him as he was half crouching and soon got up all the way. The little girl noticed how tall he was and watched him walk away..

The little girl watched him walk away still as the Imp demon she had never seen before was stareing after him also.." I cannot believe he saved that girl's life?.. But more Importantly...Didn't he say that he was going to test it again??..That means...He didn't know if it would have cut me or not! Sesshomaru-sama how could you be so CRULE! After all of these years??"Jaken whaled as the girl ignord him but took not of the name...Sesshomaru and followed the demon lord. Jaken watched the girl chase after his Lord and soon followed.." Wait! Wait for me m' Lord!"Jaken yelled..Sesshomaru walked as he sensed the human girl following him... Still never speaking a word...'So, Tenseiga.. You compelled me to save a Human life...'Sesshomaru thought as he continued down the path...

After a few days the girl still never left to go to a village even though Sesshomaru walked close to them for her to go there. She Still followed. Soon Sesshomaru stopepd as Jaken stood next to him.." I can't believe she was able to keep up with us.."Jaken said as Sesshomaru walked over to the young girl as she looked up at him. He keeled down to her as he had walked near a river for a reason..' What is your name girl.."Sesshomaru asked in a clam tone but it held a stern iron to it that said that he expected an answer. The girl looked up at him as she strained her voice and throat as she Had to answer him.. She WANTED to answer him as she opened her mouth and Answered.."Rin.."She said but it was still a bit quite and untrained.. But this satisfied Sesshomaru as he was surprised actually...'So, the girl Can talk..'He thought as he looked at her still.." Rin..."Sesshomaru repeated as the girl nodded..

"Well Rin, I suggest you take a bath.. I do not like how you smell and if you are to be with us you will have to get rid of your smell of blood.."Sesshomaru said as he didn't mention death.. But the girl looked up at him with such surprise her eyes were wide.. But then all she did was smile.
