My first Inuyasha fic. . . YEA! Please Pleas Please review and let me know if I should continue, I have some great ideas worked out for this one.
Quite unfortunately I do not own anything involving Inuyasha. . . yet.
OOOOOOO
"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru, over here, look!" Rin cried while pointing through a clearing in the heavy brush. Sesshomaru cringed as the strong sent of stale blood reached his sensitive nostrils and a lump of flesh and cloth came into his view. He noticed the look of horror on the young girls face as she gaped upon the seen before them.
A female body laid haphazardly across the woodland floor, her strange clothing tattered, her face and arms bloodied and bruised and Sesshomaru could smell the ominous sent of death coming quickly upon her.
"Help her Lord Sesshomaru; help her like you helped me." The young girl pleaded, clinging to her surrogate fathers robes.
"I can not Rin" Sesshomaru said as his young companions eyes began to fill with tears, "This woman is not yet dead." He continued bluntly, staring uninterested at the girl crumpled at his feet. "It is not our place to interfere with the hands of fate. Come Rin, we have no business here."
"But Lord Sesshomaru, what if it was the hands of fate that brought us to her!" Rin cried as Sesshomaru began to walk away.
"Jaken" Sesshomaru said, "watch Rin, I will return."
"Yes my Lord, but where are you going?" Jaken questioned, receiving no answer as his master disappeared into the night.
OOOOOOO
Sesshomaru returned shortly after to find Rin and Jaken fast asleep only a few feet away from the bloodied girl. He crouched over the girl's seemingly lifeless form and took in her appearance. She was badly injured however her body seemed to be healing and her breathing was faint but steady. He lifted the girls limp form into his arms and carried her to a hot spring he had spotted earlier. He laid her next to the spring and cut the remainder of the tattered clothes from her body. Her skin was almost entirely stained crimson due to a multitude of small cuts and scratches which covered her body as well as a large gash along the top of her head. Mindful of her injuries he carefully dipped her body into the water, cleaning away the dirt and bloods in order to better access her injuries.
If Sesshomaru had been a different man he may have become aroused as he gently ran his cleansing hands along her curvaceous form. However, of course, Lord Sesshomaru had no use for the temptations of the flesh, nor, if he did so chose to allow himself to experience such temptations, would he ever do so with a lowly human. Still, he could appreciate her beauty. He realized, as he wiped her face clean of blood and dirt that she would no doubt attract the attention of many a male, which, of course, would make her quite a burden to journey with when she did eventually awaken. Sesshomaru was quite glad that he did not yet have to worry about such situations with Rin, who was still far too young to be chased after by bandits and demons attempting to quench their lust.
Once he had finally gotten her body entirely clean he noticed that the damage to her body was not as bad as he originally assumed, and he had no doubts that she would recover fully. After drying her body with a cloth he carefully dressed her in a red kimono that he had gotten in a nearby village and returned her to camp. After laying her gently next to a sleeping Rin he covered them both in his kimono and furs, all the while thinking that he was getting soft.
