Blood on snow, a trail that led to the edge. This was what started it all.
'Surely you do not regret, my pet. You wanted your revenge and you got it,' Sounga laughed at the young demoness he held.
"I asked to revenge the one who killed my family, not a whole village," the red haired, sapphire blue eyes girl screamed as she stood in the center of the destroyed village. "You said the dragon twister would kill only him!"
'Well, I lied,' the sword spirit laughed. 'I am a sword of supreme conquest. You will obey and kill!'
"No, no more!" the girl screamed falling to her knees, clawing at the bindings around her arm from the blade. "Let me go!"
'Stubborn girl, I will never let you go! You are the best vessel I have had in centuries. You don't have the will to live on your own! I found you half dead on that snow covered cliff,' the sword screamed, shooting volts of jaki energy into the girl, making her scream.
"Who's out there?" a voice called and the girl's head shot up despite her pain and saw a small girl in an orange kimono running towards her.
"Rin get back here! You cannot run off like that!" a small toad holdin a two headed staff ran after the girl.
'Kill them!' Sounga laughed.
"No! Get out of here human unless you want to die!"
"Pretty lady, what's wrong?"
'Kill her, she is a filthy human!' Sounga snapped and the human girl stumbled back as the red haired demon swung the sword at her.
"I can't control it forever, kid. Please run," the young demoness begged.
"Sesshomaru-sama can help you!"
"No one can help me, run."
"But..."
"RUN!" she screamed as Sounga took over again.
The young demoness watched helplessly as her body was used as a puppet. The girl, Rin, started running back the way she came with the dark blue/green toad. As the sword was about to hit the girl, another sword came into view, stopping Sounga's path. Silver hair flowed into view from the fast arrival and a clawed hand with magenta markings along the wrist came into view.
'Ah, Lord Sesshomaru, you won't be able to ever control me. You are weak, just like your father. This girl is beyond your reach.'
"Help me please," the girl begged as she looked at the Western lord.
"How did you find my father's sword?"
'The girl was begging for death and I came to her because she's weak and easily controlled.'
"Let me go you demon!" the girl cried stumbling backwards, clawing her arm and blood seeped out from Sounga's bindings. She grabbed the sheath from her waist but dropped it as Sounga electrocuted her again. "Damn it."
"Sesshomaru-sama, help her!" Rin called.
"Jaken, take Rin to the citadel. If anything should happen, your head will roll," she heard the Inu Daiyoukai say, his voice was cold and the two shrimps ran off.
Suddenly a hand came around her throat and she felt herself being lifted off the ground. She came face to face with the demon and saw his golden orbs narrow. Suddenly he threw her backwards and she hit the side of the cliff, head first.
