Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the plot. :)

Summary: Rin is taken by a demon while in Jaken's care. She is lead to an enchanted forest that entraps her in there, masking her scent from all so Sesshomaru cannot find her. Knowing that if she were to die he could never get her back Sesshomaru does everything in his power to hunt her down and kill her capture. Kohaku provides the link between InuYasha's group and Sesshomaru. How will the dog-demon cope with his half-brother? Will Rin survive or will she be forced to leave her lord forever?

R&R thank you :)

Chapter 1

Singing happily to herself, a small girl in a brightly coloured kimono skipped through the grass of the field she was in, picking up pretty flowers as she did so. A two headed demon sat not far from her with a small green imp lying against it. Ah-Un lowered its heads and feel into a light sleep, to the sound for Rin's singing. The girl soon came skipping back and sat beside Jaken, who briefly looked up at her. The field was full of annoying scents and they tickled his nose. Surrounding the field was a thick line of trees. The sun was low in the sky and tinted it a beautiful pink. Yawning louding and stretching her arms, Rin then turned to Jaken, flowers still in her hand.

"Master Jaken. Where did Lord Sesshomaru go?" She asked the imp. Sesshomaru was always going off somewhere, leaving Rin in Jaken's care.

"I don't know Rin!" Jaken exclaimed, unable to stand the happiness of her when he felt so tired. Rin pouted briefly before grinning again. She then lay down by Ah-Un, using him as a wind breaker as she slept softly.

Jaken was up for hours after Rin was silent, and still Sesshomaru had not returned. The sun had long ago set and the temperature dropped dramatically. It didn't bother the imp much, but he felt that he should light a fire for Rin, she was only human after all. However, Jaken knew that Sesshomaru would cause him a lot of pain if a demon came along and hurt Rin. The little demon sighed and looked at the human. He still didn't fully understand Sesshomaru's care for her. It was not in his lord's nature. Lord Sesshomaru hated humans, and despised his half brother, Inuyasha, merely for having a human mother. The half demon was a disgrace to the family in Sesshomaru's opinion, so why did he allow the human girl to travel with them? Jaken couldn't help but be angry at his lord, after all, it did appear that Sesshomaru liked Rin more than he like Jaken himself.

Standing up, the little demon decided to move closer to Ah-Un. He couldn't go get fire wood. It would lead demons to them and also risk Rin if he were to leave. She didn't seem to be too cold and was sleeping sounding, curled up beside the other demon companion. Jaken sat beside her, and soon he'd drifted to sleep.

Sesshomaru was quite a bit away from his company. He had caught scent of Naraku and had set off at once, entrusting Jaken with Rin's life. Now that he had strengthened his Meido Zangetsuha he'd send Naraku and his filthy scent to the netherworld. However, standing where he was there was no sign of the demon so many hunted. There was a load snap from behind Sesshomaru, but he didn't turn round, already knowing who it was. He had known awhile back. Kohaku had followed Sesshomaru the moment he left them.

"Kohaku. It is pointless to try to hide." Sesshomaru spoke, walking forward. There was another scent in the wind that he wasn't particularly pleased about. However it was not a threat to him, or any of his friends. Kohaku crept out of the tree line behind Sesshomaru, and came to stand beside the demon lord.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I'm sorry for following you..." Kohaku whispered, but was sure the demon heard him. Sesshomaru however, even though he didn't care if Kohaku had disobeyed him, gave the boy no reply. Kohaku fidgeted beside Sesshomaru, who was glaring out at the land below the hill they stood on.

Inuyasha walked in front of his friends. He heard Shippo complain briefly but Kagome has managed to stop his complaints. He knew they should rest, and was about to take camp under some large trees with he caught scent of Naraku. The others also caught onto the demonic aura of the demon, so rest was out of the question until they caught him. However Inuyasha slowed when they came to a steep hill. The others wouldn't be able to catch the scent but Inuyasha knew that Sesshomaru was close by.

"Naraku got away again." Shippo whined. Kagome ruffled his hair and then turned to the hill.

"I can sense I jewel shard. It's coming from up there!" Kagome pointed up the hill. The whole group knew who it was. Naraku had all but one shard, Kohaku's shard. Inuyasha was more shocked than the others. Sesshomaru was with Kohaku. He briefly remembered the last time his brother was with the human. Sesshomaru was close to killing Kohaku for harming the female child that travelled with him. Leading the way, with Sango close behind, Inuyasha took the group up the steep hill.

"Sesshomaru!" Came Inuyasha's bellowing yell. Sesshomaru sighed and turned from the hill, that half-demon wasn't worth the hassle he caused.

"Kohaku!" A female voice that soon followed Inuyasha's. Sesshomaru noticed that Kohaku seemed frozen, and he couldn't decide if it were out of fear or not. Turning slightly, Sesshomaru saw Inuyasha, reaching for his sword and standing in front of the priestess and fox demon. The feline was transformed, and climbing off it was the demon slayer and monk. Sango didn't seem like she was here to harm Kohaku, so Sesshomaru no longer was concerned about the boy's reaction.

"Sesshomaru, what are you doing here? Are you here to hurt Kohaku?" Inuyasha still hadn't drawn his sword. Knowing that as soon as the Tetsusaiga was transformed then Sesshomaru would be instantly challenged.

"Inuyasha, must you be so ignorant? If I was here to hurt the boy, he'd be dead by now." Sesshomaru's words made Sango glare and step forward. She seemed to be begging Kohaku to move from Sesshomaru. He didn't though, and Sesshomaru, bored of his brother, and worried about Rin turned on his heel and walked to the tree line. He stopped briefly, looking over his shoulder he looked at Kohaku.

"Follow me if you wish." Was the last thing Sesshomaru said before he vanished into the trees. Soon followed by Kohaku, leaving Inuyasha and his friends stood still in utter shock.
