Chapter One
A New Beginning
Rin ran as fast as she could, trying to run from the bloodthirsty wolves. Out of breath, she followed the image of the youkai who she had found, reaching out with her hand to touch him. But the image disappeared, and she was left alone. Without a warning, she tripped on a root, and looked behind her to see the gaping jaws close in on her. With her last ounce of strength, she silently called for her friend before she was swallowed by the consuming darkness. The wolves feasted on her body with greed, unable to notice the new scent in the air as it shifted.
A white flash jumped from the bushes, tearing one of the wolves in half. He whimpered in pain and fell, revealing a dazzling white wolf, her lips curling into a vicious snarl. The remaining wolves attacked the strange wolf in order to guard their prey, but their attacks were easily thrown aside as the white wolf ducked and killed them all with one blow. Howling with rage, the white wolf tore them up completely, leaving nothing but pieces of what had attacked Rin. Panting with exhaustion, the wolf slowly turned towards the body of poor Rin, nudging her with her muzzle. She whimpered encouragingly, as if to revive what was left. Knowing that nothing could be done, the white wolf layed down beside her, crying a thousands tears and one.
At a nearby field, a two headed dragon raised its heads at the tall taiyoukai that approached. However, a toad-like figure, which sat on the enormous beast's back, failed to notice the demon's presence while mumbling incoherent insults. "Lord Sesshomaru, you ungrateful dog!" he suddenly shouted out, in which he recieved a rock thrown at his head. The creature fell to the ground, quickly recovering. "Lord Sesshomaru!" The one known as Sesshomaru raised his head to the wind, scenting blood. He turned around and ran back the way hee came. The toad, completly perplexed, called after him while trying to keep up.
The white wolf could feel Rin's heat slowly diminish as death left its final mark. Her crying had ceased a while ago, allowing her tear-stained fur and bloodshot eyes to recover, although hints of what had happened still remained. She snuggled closer to her little human friend, regretting her choice of visiting the Northern Lands. All around, the forest became quiet, and the wolf's ears perked up to the slight sound of footsteps. She stood up, her eyes being a mirror-like reflection, as the demon approached.
Sesshomaru looked on at the scene before him with cold amber eyes. The white wolf had braced herself over Rin's body protectively and growled low, a warning. Jaken cowered behind Sesshomaru and eyed the wolf. Becoming all bravo, he decided to offer his services to Sesshomaru and asked, "Milord, shall I dispose of this mangy wolf for you?" Sesshomaru's response was the voice of his sword as he pulled it out of its scabbard. The Tenseiga shone in the green light of the forest. "Milord?" cried Jaken as he backed away. The wolf's growl became louder as she eyed the sword. Backing away into the nearby shrub, she continued to growl. "One more test," said Sesshomaru as everything dimmed around him. Clearly, he could see the minions of the Netherworld crawling over Rin's body with evil grins. Narrowing his eyes, he swung, letting the Tenseiga do its job. The minions vanished instantly, only dust in the wind. Sesshomaru bent down and supported Rin, watching as the glow of her eyes returned, first showing confusion, then joy. The wolf stood in amazement, cautiously approaching Sesshomaru and Rin. Sesshomaru, seeing for himself that Rin was ok, stood up and left without another word.
Jaken couldn't believe what had just happened. "Y-y-you revived her?" he said in disbelief, watching the ominous form disappear within the trees. Rin looked around with curious eyes and saw the wolf walk up. She smiled and laughed in joy before hugging the wolf. The wolf seemed glad and closed her eyes. "Hello Moro!" she whispered in her ear. Moro smiled as best as a wolf could. "Come on, let's follow him." Moro nodded and bent down to allow Rin on her back. She scrambled on and looked around, saying, "I think he went...that way!" Moro faced the direction in which Rin was pointing and took off, leaving Jaken in her dust. "Hey! Wait for me!" he shouted, running to catch them.
When Moro and Rin reached Sesshomaru, he was allready at the meadow. He looked back to see who remained and found Moro with Rin. Looking farther, he could see a small speck of green running their way. A few minutes later, Jaken arrived, panting hard. "Milord, how could you-" "We're leaving," cut Sesshomaru, turning towards the dragon known as Ah-Un. He climbed on his back and waited for Jaken to climb on, eyeing Moro and Rin. "What is your name, girl?" he inquired. "Rin. And this is Moro!" she said cheerfully, patting her fur. Sesshomaru made no response and took off into the sky, leaving them on the ground. Moro watched them for a moment, waiting for Rin to settle comfortably. As Rin grabbed a hadnful of fur, Moro leaped into the air, black flames sprouting from her ankles. Sesshomaru turned in interest as Moro climbed higher into the blue sky to match Ah-Un's height. Once she had reached the same level, she locked her soft, golden eyes with his before flying a little way ahead to show that she was ready.
