Sesshoumaru 25

Rin 19

Rin was traveling to the west to visit her aunt. The trip had been planned on impulse. Not wanting to think about the reason for this Rin started to think about where she was. Rin had only been on a train once before, it was the same as it was now minus the different comforts. The heaving of the train, the bumping up and down made Rin gain a headache that wouldn't go away, the headache was debilitating. Normally something like this hardly affected her but it was starting to cripple her ability to think. Looking around Rin familiarized herself with the trains many areas so she could find a place to lie down. Looking around Rin noticed the upholstery was very drab. Nonetheless Rin did not care for such things as long as the seats were comfortable, enough to ride without needless suffering. Other passengers were going about their own business making a lot of racket that only increased her distress. Rin felt slightly singled out being the only women without escort. At least then she would have someone help her to her quarters, but yet again that brought to mind the reason why she did not have one. The one person her parents wanted her to marry had offered Rin this common courtesy. Rin had rejected his offer and decided to go by herself the west to get away from the man. Looking at her timepiece Rin noticed it was almost time for the train to come to the town she would be staying at. Heading to her quarters Rin hoped her course would not be interrupted so she could get rid of the headache with the bliss of sleep until they arrived. Rin came to the door and went inside locking it so she wouldn't be disturbed.

Unbeknownst to the passengers; the bandits were planning to plunder everything worth value on the train. The sheriff around those parts had a hidden informer in the infamous band and knew of the planned attack.

Previously

"Sesshoumaru I need you to prevent the Band of Seven long enough for me to get the passengers to safety but if that does not work help as many people as you can to escape." Inuyasa stated

"Yes half brother." He said in a monotone. Turning around he walked out the door and got onto his horse.

Back to now

In the train

"Okay people; everyone needs to get off the train and we will take you to the next town." Sesshoumarucommanded pointing towards the exits where the carriages were waiting.

"Why should we listen to you?" one stated not trusting his intent.

"Would you rather get left on a train that is going to be robbed?" he asked glaring at the insolence of that particular passenger. The passenger seeing that glare: froze, shivered, and then walked out.

The other passengers started whispering. With Sesshoumaru's high sense of hearing he could make out a few words. "Well…do not get on that persons bad side…if looks could kill… wow scary… get off the train, get off the train!" Seeing movement out of the corner of his eye he saw a man walking back towards some of the rooms.

"What are you doing man? Sesshoumaru asked.

"I left some things in my quarters it will take only a minute." The man seemed harmless enough, but for some reason something seemed a little off about him. Shaking the feeling off Sesshoumaru nodded to the man so he could continue with his business. The man came back with a small bag in his possession.

"Well I think that is everyone." On of the deputies said.

"Hn" Sesshoumaru walked off of the train. He got on to his horse and rode away to give the Band of Seven the news.

"Okay, keep the trains going so they do not expect anything." The deputy said.

The rustlers

"We need to attack now." Bankotsu said wanting the thrill of the steal. They were in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere.

"We need to stick to the planned attack, and that means we wait a little longer." Renkotsu persistently said

"Why do we not just get this over with?" Kyokotsu said.

"Well I almost want to get caught just to see that amazing sheriff they got around these parts." Jakotsu licked his lips in delight.

"Hey where is Sesshoumaru?" Mukotsu asked noticing his absence seeing as he was one of the few that didn't die from his poison.

"I saw him walk off, just leave him alone he would kill you in a heartbeat." Bankotsu said.

"Well that would be a sight to see." Suikotsu chuckled evilly.

"Grsh," Ginkotsu said laughing as he agreed. He was considered the best with weapons. He had a harder time speaking from a knife fight that had cut his mouth on one side.

"Well this is how it is going to pan out…"

Soon after that discussion Sesshoumaru came back. "My source at the train depot just said the train was delayed because of something on the tracks." He stated

"Dang it. Now it will take even longer." Bankotsu sighed frustrated.

Unlocking the door and walking out the door of the room, Rin continued on to the commons. Surprised Rin noticed that no one was in sight nor was there any noise indicating the presence of anyone. Continuing to look though she doubted that there was anyone else.

"Where is everyone? I guess I will go look for the engineer," Rin said to herself walking towards the Caboose. The train lurched causing Rin to lose her balance and she fell to the floor slightly stunned.

"What the heck?" Rin exclaimed in an unladylike manor. She got back up looking around curious for why the train had stopped. The door opened to the right of her. Startled Rin stared at the man who had walked through. The man was bald but she could not see his face because of the mask he wore.

"Well, well, looky here. The first dang person I have seen on this train…" Mukotsu grinned, his voice muffled

"Who are you exactly?" Rin said disgusted by his appearance

"Lets see how should I put this… lets just say I collect valuables from the wealthiest people."

"Oh…" what was Rin going to do, this was a bandit? "Well, then I will leave you to your collecting" Rin said composing herself

"You're not going anywhere." Rin looked frantically around the train looking for all possible chances of escape.

"And who gave you permission to make me stay here?" Rin said trying to act brave but as soon as he said that she knew she would be stuck. Rin was already backing up ready to run as soon as he attacked.

"Well me of course." He lunged towards her. In her heavy skirts Rin ran through the set away from him. She didn't get very far. "Got ya." Rin felt an arm grab her waist ceasing her forward motion. Rin fought against his grip, wiggling she reached up to poke his eyes or something instead her fingers caught on his mask. She could smell his hot rancid breath as he clutched her to him. What Rin saw in front of her was not pleasant. He was perhaps the ugliest man she had ever seen. His eyes were too big for his face and they looked slightly swollen, he had scars on his face with seemed to have been put there on purpose. He was also rather short and he smelled of things Rin didn't want to think about. She cringed trying even harder to pull away.

"What are you doing Mukotsu?" Mukotsu looked behind him holding on to her arm rather tightly.

"Sessh… Sesshoumaru. Ah… What does it look like I am doing? I am the one who saw her first so now it is only fair for me to have her." He stammered but than recovered.

"Finish the job Mukotsu. We would not want Bankotsu mad at us now would we?" as Rin watched his face, though emotionless, as it seemed, she could have sworn his eye had twitched.

"Of… of course not." He stuttered as he answered back. It looked as if he was more scared of this man than whom Rin assumed was the boss.

"Well then hand her to me." the other man commanded in a silent but deadly voice, even she shivered a little bit. Her rescuer scared her more than the first guy had though he definitely wasn't as ugly.

"I will not be treated like an object." Rin inserted. He walked over to her and grabbed onto her arm. Rin tried to quickly jerk out of his reach but his movements were faster than hers.

"Come this way. Now!" His grip was tight and Rin could do nothing but follow unless she wanted her arm to be pulled out of its socket.

"Where are you taking me?" Rin questioned keeping her voice firm.

"Hn" Well this was not working out too well. Being trapped; Rin looked at the second captor. He had long silver hair, magnetizing golden eyes, broad shoulders and he was muscular but not overly so. The color of his hair surprised her; no one had that color of hair. Curious Rin wanted to ask. Keeping her mouth shut she stayed silent. They passed through several cars before she noticed where they were. There in the dining room on one of the benches was another man with long black hair, braided, it went down to the middle of his back.

"Well hello there." He said noticing Rin with a sly grin on his face. She stared back wishing she was already at her aunts. "Where did you pick her up? I thought everyone was gone?"

"Hn," His face expressionless.

"And what is your name? Miss?" the captor that had her in his hands nudged Rin forward signaling her to respond.

"Rin Johnson, you have no right to keep me here." As an after thought she added. "You can have all of my valuables."

"Oh, thanks for the offer, but we do not let go of pretty females that easily." Indignant her mouth dropped in despair as Rin looked away knowing that her hunch was right. Rin wasn't going to get away. She heard someone coming towards her. The hand gripped her face forcing Rin to look at him.

"Well you're definitely a pretty one." She was tempted to spit in his face but she didn't.

"Would you unhand me?" Rin said forcing her voice not to shake though she was pretty sure her body was.

"Well I suppose." He let go of me. "Would you be so kind as to not leave? We wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Sending Rin a grin he walked away. Stopping he turned his face slightly to the side. "Oh and Sesshoumaru would you put her in one of the many rooms on the train."

Sesshoumaru that's his name; for some unknown reason that thought pleased her.

"Come," he said gesturing her to another part of the train. Rin followed knowing if she did anything now it would probably get her killed.

"Sheriff, sheriff!" a women exclaimed in exasperation as she rushed into the room.

"What do you need Mrs. Kaede?" Inuyasha asked.

"I did tell that my niece was coming to visit me from Boston?"

"Yes in fact you did ma'am. What does this have to do with your worried look?"

"Well my niece was on a train coming here and it was supposed to arrive today."

"Do you happen to have the information about the train she was on?"

"Yes here it is."

"Lets see here?" Inuyasha looked at it with much interest. Reading the name of the train and the time she would arrive he registered that the train was The Shikon Express. Staring at it aghast, with a barely noticeable look of distress, he made sure that he read the words correctly.

"What's wrong?" her voice started to be more panicked.

"Ma'am your niece was on a train that was robbed this morning. I thought we had gotten everyone of the train before the bandits came. Apparently not."

"Oh no!"

"Ma'am everything will work out just fine. I have a man with the brigands and he will protect her from them to the greatest of his ability."

"Oh I sure hope so. It would be horrible if anything happened to her under my care." Hand over her heart she looked at him with fear.

"Do not worry everything will work out just fine." he reassured. I hope.
