Rin sat on the side of the dirt path Sesshomaru had left her at hours earlier. He did this often, run off somewhere leaving her and Jaken by themselves. She knew he was only protecting her but she got lonely, Jaken wasn't good company and wasn't the most adept at protecting people, he was to much of a coward, even Rin knew that.

"Master Jaken, how much longer is Lord Sesshomaru going to be gone?" Rin asked playing with a piece of grass.

"Lord Sesshomaru didn't say, he never does, all we can do is wait." He said annoyed with her. Rin was important to Sesshomaru so Jaken would protect her best he good. But he didn't like humans, Rin was okay, compared to most. Jaken looked down the road and suddenly grabbed Rin's head having her duck under the ditch on the side of the road.

"Master Jaken why di..." Rin said being cut off.

"Shut up Rin, someone is coming." Jaken said quietly.

Banotsu walked slowly down the dirt path, he was deep in thought after losing all his brother to Inuyasha and his friends. He didn't know how to carry without them. Images of their faces flashed through his mind while he slept and he would wake in a cold sweat thinking of why he ran from the mountain, when he should have avenged them by killing Inuyasha, but he decided to leave and keep his life. He looked down as he walked spotting a staff sticking from the ground.

"Your not slick." He said unamussed. Jaken popped up from the ground staring evilly.

"Your just like the rest of them, a dead mortal." He said recognizing his scent.

"So what? You going to do something about it imp?" He said smirking and looking to Rin. "Sesshomaru's pet I see, I think I can make good use of you." He grabbed her collar and began to carry her off as Jaken ran after him.

"Let her go!" He yelled as Bankotsu kicked him into a tree knocking him out.

"Your just a big meanie!" Rin yelled struggling under his grip.

"Yea yea yea, cry it up." He said running into the woods throwing Rin over his shoulder. "Your coming with me."

"Why are you taking me away from Lord Sesshomaru!" She yelled kicking and punching him as he ran.

"Cause I have lost people close to me." He said giving a mournful look at the ground. "And I am making sure Sesshomaru knows that pain, Inuyasha will too." He thought of his revenge, much simpler than killing them directly.

"So your going to kill me?" She said frightened.

"That is up to how you behave." He said seriously, he didn't want to kill her, she was only a girl, but he might have to. He found the hut Mukotsu used to make his poisons in weeks earlier as he set Rin down on the floor of the hut. He sat down ripping off a piece of bread from the loaf on the floor handing it to her. "You need to eat." He said as she took it from him and ate it.

"Thank you." Rin said grudgingly. She didn't trust him, but he didn't seem to awful bad, she was just going to try and not make him angry. "What's your name?" She asked him tilting her head.

"Bankotsu." He said in a monotone voice watching her.

Rin giggled. "Okay so I will call you BanBan." She smiled to him sweetly waiting for a reaction.

Bankotsu blinked. "BanBan?" He asked surprised at the sudden nickname.

Rin nodded. "Yes BanBan, it is cute." She said seeing he was going along with it.

"I suppose I can let you call me that, can't hurt." He said being fair to her. She was just a kid so he knew he should let her be a kid.

Rin smiled to him and crawled over poking him in the arm. "Your not so bad you know that?" She said to him smiling.

He looked at her in disbelief and laughed loudly. "You have no idea what I've done do you?"

She shook her head. "No I don't, but your not being mean to me. What have you done?"

"You don't want to know, and I am not going to say." He said smugly.

"Well then take this." She said smiling evilly and kicking him in the crotch. She laughed at him hysterically as he rolled on the floor holding his groin.

"You little shit!" He yelled. He was nice to her and she kicked him, what kind of kid was this?

"Your fault for not telling me what I wanted to know." She giggled hugging him. "I'm sorry though BanBan." She was sorry, she didn't know why it hurt so bad, all she did was kick him after all. She hugged him cutely and smiled. "Your not too bad, I actually like you." She said honestly. "Bad people would hurt me, but you haven't hurt me."

Bankotsu sat up finally recovering and looked at her. "Your just a child, I couldn't hurt you." He said honestly. "Women, men, so what, but I left children to my friends."

Rin looked to him understanding he was murderer, but as long as he didn't hurt he she didn't care. "Lord Sesshomaru will be looking for me, so if you want to live you shouldn't stay in one place to long." She said warning him.

Bankostu smiled nodding to her. "We will stay one night and then get going." He said laying down on his mat.

"BanBan." Rin said nervously tugging on his sleeve. "I can't sleep along."

Bankotsu rolled his eyes rolling over and patting the mat, Rin laid down beside him and pulled Bankotsu's arm over her.

"Thank you BanBan." She said closing her eyes drifting off to sleep.

Bankotsu sighed watching her fall asleep as she snuggled up to him closely. He looked to her curiously examining her face. She is pretty cute. What am I saying she is a little girl, get your mind of the gutter man. But she is a girl. She is 7 years old stop thinking those thoughts your pervert! He finally sighed ignoring his mental argument and fell asleep, holding Rin tightly in his arms.
