"Calm down, Rin." I told the human girl as she ran around Jaken happily.
"Yes M'lord!" She said, her running stopping immediately. She took a moment to think and sat down on the ashy village ground.
'Why am I here again?' I wondered, sighing and shaking my head. I stood up and turned around.
"Let's go." I said then I heard a scream. "M'lord! Look, that demon's hurting that girl!" Rin yelled and I turned back around.
I didn't really care, but I knew that if I didn't save the weak girl, then Rin would probably be upset, sure I could put up with it but it could get annoying sometimes. So, I quickly approached the demon as it tore it's fangs into the girl's neck, and with a swipe of my claws, it was gone.
"A mere human, keh, let's go…" I said, looking down at the girl. She had long, black hair and from what I could see light blue eyes, and she wasn't too tall looking; then I noticed something that struck me as odd. She was wearing the same strange clothes as the woman who travels with my half-breed brother, InuYasha.
"But Lord Sesshomaru, if we leave her she'll die!" Rin said and I sighed.
"Fine, Jaken get her, and let's go…" I muttered, slightly impatient.
This village still smelled of death. This village still smelled like her.
---------------------------------
"Will we be taking her with us, Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked me, as we sat around the remains of the fire Rin had built.
I took a moment to think. I didn't want to make Rin upset, but I didn't want to get her hopes up, either. "We leave soon, if she awakes she can follow if she chooses, if she doesn't she can rot here."
Rin sighed but didn't argue.
Then Jaken laughed. "M'lord! Certainly you wouldn't really allow another human to come with us!"
"I couldn't care less." I told him, giving a disinterested shrug.
It was quiet for a moment, and I thought it was a bit nice, not having to hear the two talk for once, so it annoyed me when Jaken shouted, "Ai! Lord Sesshomaru! The human's awake!"
"H-Hi." The human stuttered, pushing herself up and wincing. "Um, thanks for saving me before…" She added, my eyes going to her.
'This human… She smells familiar for some reason…' I thought, concentrating on her, trying to figure out why she seemed so familiar.
Then I noticed she had begun to bleed. "You're bleeding human. Lay back down unless you'd like to die." I grumbled, the slight emotion that had previously on my face leaving.
She laid back down and muttered something, though I probably could've heard it if I had wanted to, I wasn't really paying much attention to her. "Do you know a girl named Kagome?"
My eyes burned with anger as she spoke, that was the woman who traveled with InuYasha. "Yes, I know THAT girl. The human my half-breed brother travels with, what of it?"
For some reason she laughed. I was slightly confused but mentally decided to ignore it. "I can tell you don't like her, but would you mind helping me find her?"
'Of course not foolish human, why would I waste my time searching for them?' I thought, of course for some reason it took me a moment to speak aloud to her, and it didn't feel right to be cold towards her as I was to most other humans. "I'm not going to waste my time looking for that half-breed and the humans he travels with. If you decide to come with us, then you can but you'd better leave if we ever run into those… fools." I finally growled.
"Alright… Do you have any bandages?" She asked, but I ignored her, then Rin answered her, "I'll take care if it!" It shocked me since Rin was normally extremely shy around other humans.
As Rin babbled on, my mind began to wander. 'This girl, could she be…? No, impossible, she's much too weak and foolish…'
---------------------------------
'Not even a single demon on our way…' I thought as I leaned up against a tree, my eyes closed it thought. I knew that even if we had come across a demon, it would've been no problem for me, most of the demons we encounter aren't even interesting to fight. Not really worth my time.
"Hey." The human girl said, sitting next to me.
"What do you want?" I growled, opening my eyes. I wasn't truly annoyed, but I was a little confused. Why wasn't this human afraid of me?
"To thank you… again." She told me frowning. "And I want you to at least acknowledge that I appreciate what you did for me!" She added in a yell, and I held back a chuckle.
'She's got guts, yelling at me…. And she's pretty odd too, why is she bothering me to accept her gratitude?' I thought, sighing. "Fine. It was nothing." I grumbled. "If that's all, leave me alone."
I looked down at her and she smiled and ignored me! Damn human.
Then after only a few minutes she fell asleep, resting her head on my shoulder. I couldn't help but smile a bit. 'This human… may be worth my time afterall.'

(Aren't I evil? Leaving all these confusing things in the story. Bet you've got a lot of questions, eh? Like who's she? And… Um, who's she? :D You'll find out later, so don't worry!)
