Chapter 1

~*~*~*~

Sesshomaru walked calmly through the forest with deadly grace. Suddenly he stopped. 'Youkai in my forest.' he thought. "Sesshomaru-sama? What's wrong?" Jaken's high, raspy voice made Sesshomaru internally cringe.

"Ano... Sesshomaru-sama! Can Rin go pick flowers! Please?" Rin's voice was more calming.

"Rin go pick flowers with Jaken. I will attend to a matter elsewhere." Sesshomaru threw a warning glance at Jaken and walked off.

'How could people, and youkai, be so cruel! Not even youkai! That stupid hanyou! But. I'm just too young to do anything.' A small, bloody figure curled up and cried. Briefly, she raised her head and sniffed.' Great. Escape the clutches of one half-demon into those of a full-demon' she thought. "Ughh." She lifted herself up to barely a sitting position. 'Here it comes.'

Sesshomaru smelled awareness, fatigue and..."Blood" He murmured. He stepped into the clearing. His eyes beheld a girl of about13. Sesshomaru smelled the salty scent of tears and a hint of fear.

"What will you do, youkai sir?" she said. She couldn't quite see him, though she knew he was tall. "C-come into the light."

Sesshomaru didn't like the girl's attitude, and she didn't know who he was. He obliged.

The girl gasped and was paralyzed in fear, premonition of her oncoming death, and awe at the handsome creature before her.

Sesshomaru flexed his claws. "Such insolence needs disciplining. You are intruding on my lands."

Her eyes widened. Sesshomaru saw that they were brown, as was her hair. A crystal adorned her forehead.

Sesshomaru lunged without another thought.
