Hope runs through the forest as fast as she can.
Bandits have cut her clothes and skin all to hell and have been chasing her all day.
She keeps running but trips over a tree root and she falls to the ground.
She lets out a scream as the bandits savagely ravage her of her innocence.
Sesshomaru is in the area with Jaken and Rin.
He hears the scream and for some reason he feels like he has to save whoever is screaming.
He runs quickly to where the scream had come from and sees a few bandits cutting up a young woman in the snow.
He becomes enraged and cuts the human bandits down with his energy whip (or whatever you call it).
Hope looks up at him as he stands over her and picks her up.
Sesshomaru looks at her a moment and says, "Be still. Your wounds are painful but not too deep. When we arrive to my home, my servants will tend your wounds."
Hope says to him weakly, "Thank you for helping me, my lord."
