He found her in the snow. He saw the blood first, crimson red startling against the pure white.
And then he saw her, her black hair spread around her head like a dark halo. She was beautiful, and the first thought that occurred to him was…
'She's a fallen angel.'
But, then, sensibility kicked in.
For the Lord Sesshomaru did not believe in angels.
She looked vaguely familiar. 'InuYasha's wench.' Sesshomaru thought. 'How…unlike him to leave his pet miko unattended.'
On impulse, he bent, and picked her up, bridal style, ignoring the warm blood that immediately soaked his sleeves. 'I can use her to retrieve the Tetsusaiga from the half-breed.' he told himself.

"Lord Sesshomaru, you're back!" Rin exclaimed, bouncing up to the taiyoukai. "Rin went and picked flowers, and had a tea party with Lord Jaken, and- What's wrong with the pretty lady, Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Put her in one of the guest rooms, and see that she gets medical attention." Sesshomaru ordered a nearby servant, handing the ningen woman to him. Then, the great lord of the West knelt to eye level with Rin. "She's rather ill, but we'll help her to get better." he told the small child.
Rin gave him a gap-toothed smile, and hugged him. "Is she going to be Rin's new mommy?" she asked.
The servant, who Sesshomaru had given the miko to, stopped dead, hand on the door. Sesshomaru glared at him, and he hurried on his way.
"No, Rin." Sesshomaru replied. "She is simply visiting."
