Chapter One

Although the darkness was creeping in on the group, they kept walking. The trees were casting eerie shadows and the wind whistled making Jaken shiver. Sesshoumaru, Jaken, a demon and servant of Sesshoumaru, and Ah-, the 2 headed demon, kept walking, all in pace with Sesshoumaru.
"Master, Where are we headed?" Jaken asked looking up to Sesshoumaru's calm exterior. The lord ignored his companion and continued walking. A little behind him he could tell Ah-Un was getting tired and weak. Sesshoumaru stopped suddenly, making Jaken walk into him.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, what is it that troubles you so?" Jaken asked. Sesshoumaru looked down at him.
"We'll rest for the night." And with that he sat under an oak tree and closed his eyes. His thoughts were of the child he saved a few years ago. Rin. She was 8 when she was taken from him. Now she would be 15. He tried to find her. Searched endlessly. Secretly he still was. But he found nothing. He wondered if the girl was still alive. He worried about her. For Sesshoumaru worry was a rare thing, but when it came to the human child he was always worried for her. He was like a father to her and he felt the responsibility to take care of her and he had failed that the night she was stolen from him. He hated that feeling. He done his best to rid the haunting thoughts from his mind. But he couldn't make the memory of that night go away.
It was only a few hours until dawn and Rin and Jaken were still calmly asleep. Sesshoumaru stood by the river bank waiting for them to wake so they could be on their way. He decided to go and hunt for food for his human companion. He was about 1000 yards away when he heard Rin's screams. He automatically stopped hunting and ran back to where they had stopped for the night. When he arrived, Jaken was lying at the bottom of a tree, unconscious and Ah-Uh was on the river bank, bleeding from a wound in his back. But Rin was gone.
"Rin!" Sessoumaru shouted, grabbing of his sword, Tokijin. But there was no reply to come. Whoever had attacked his companions had gone and with Rin.

Inuyasha and the group were not far from Sessoumaru's group. They had made camp in a small clearing for the night. Shippo and Kirara curled up near the fire and Miroku and Sango were lying together. Kagome and Inuyasha sat on some rocks and talked a bit. Inuyasha stopped and looked at the trees. Kagome watched him.
"Inuyasha. What is it?" She asked, slightly worried.
"Sesshoumaru" Inuyasha said as he got up and ran into the tree line.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted and followed him. When she caught up with him he was already yelling at Sesshoumaru.
"Inuyasha!" She yelled again, but again she was ignored.
"Why the hell are you here Sesshoumaru?!" Inuyasha spat at his older bother. Sesshoumaru just laughed.
"Little brother, why does it bother you so much?" Sesshoumaru smirked at Inuyasha. He received a glare back. Inuyasha then moved in and attacked. Sesshoumaru calmly moved away and used his poison claws on Inuyasha's neck. Kagome ran forward.
"Sesshoumaru! Please. Let him go?" She pleaded with him. He looked at her and then dropped Inuyasha to the ground like a rag doll.
"Leave." Sesshoumaru said, his tone demanding, as he sat down again. Grudgingly, Inuyasha stood and left, annoyed that he was so easily beaten. Kagome apologised to Sesshoumaru and then followed the annoyed half-demon.
It was dawn when Rin was woken up by another slave. She groaned. She had been living in the small underground room with 12 other girls since she was 8. It was boring to wake to the same four dull, dark walls. No sunlight or fresh air got down here. She rolled over and tried to sleep some more. She was shaken again by the slave.
"Rin. Rin wake up. He is coming and you'll get beaten if you're not up. Rin." Her fellow slave's sweet voice whispered in her ear. Rin sighed and stood up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. Everyday the Lord would come down and pick 4 girls to do what he wanted for the week. Rin was always picked. She wished she was never taken. She pictured all the lovely places she could have been if she was with Lord Sesshoumaru. But instead she was stuck here. Being beaten and used. The door opened and in walked the Lord. He was in his late forties. He picked Rin and 3 other girls. They were all pulled out and told what to do straight away. Rin sighed and got work tidying the bedrooms.
It was dawn and Sesshoumaru, Jaken and Ah-Un were already travelling. The sky was clear of all clouds and made any lakes they past a lovely sky blue colour. Sesshoumaru couldn't help but remember how much Rin loved the lakes, and the meadows. The child was always picking flowers and giving them to Sesshoumaru and Jaken. Although at the time it started to bore the Lord, he missed it. The group was so quiet and dull without the child. He missed her. He longed to hear her soft voice.
"My Lord?" Jaken's voice tore into Sesshoumaru's thoughts, bringing him back to reality.
"Where are we going?" Jaken asked.
"To find Naraku" Came Sesshoumaru's simple answer.
"But, My Lord, we have no idea where he is." Sesshoumaru ignored him. They continued walking in silence. After a few hours Sesshoumaru stopped.
"Lord Sesshoumaru? What it is?" Jaken asked, after managing to not walk into his Lord. Sesshoumaru knelt down to the ground and picked up a silver necklace. Jaken noticed his master do so and saw the necklace. It meant nothing to Jaken though. For Sesshoumaru however, it meant a lot. He stood up and looked at the necklace in his hands.
"My Lord. What is that thing?" Jaken asked.
"Jaken." Sesshoumaru's icy voice said.
"Yes, My Lord?"
"This here, is a necklace. It was Rin's."
"But sir. The child has been gone for years. Surely she's dead?"
"I don't know." And with that Sesshoumaru put the necklace in a pocket and continued walking. Surely the child is dead. Who would want something so annoying as that for all these years? Jaken thought as he followed behind Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha was still sulking from the night before. Kagome had told Sango about what happened and on the journey that day decided to talk to Inuyasha about it. She ran up to him and walked beside him. He looked upset.

"Inuyasha?" She asked. Inuyasha looked at her. Then forward again. Kagome continued anyway.

"Inuyasha. Look. Sesshoumaru is allowed to walk here too. And you two should really stop fighting anyways." Inuyasha gave a low growl and stopped. Everyone else stopped and looked at him.

"Look Kagome! I should have beat him! And you know, I don't care! He's pathetic anyways!" Inuyasha shouted at her before storming off.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted after him. "How can he be such a jerk?!" She sighed and the group continued on after Inuyasha.

Rin was washing plates when she dropped one. It shattered on the hard ground. A guard heard the noise and came over. He looked at her then at the plate. He shook his head and walked out. Rin ran after him. She grabbed his arm.

"No. Please. You don't need to get him." Rin pleaded with the guard. He pulled away, hit her across the face and walked away. Rin fell to the floor. She rubbed her face. She'd be getting a nice purple bruise tomorrow. She stood up and ran to the door. Just as she put her hand on the handle a strong arm was wrapped round her neck. Rin was pulled away and pinned to the wall. She looked at the Lord who was keeping her here. Her eyes filled with tears. She looked away. He took over his belt and threw her to the couch. Rin whimpered slightly and tried to get up. The Lord took his belt and hit her with it across the face. The leather hit her hard, making her eyes water. He hit her again and then punched her in the stomach. Light tears slowly fell from her eyes.

"Please. Stop. It won't happen again." Rin cried. She was thrown against a wall and punched again.

"Speak when spoken to bitch!" The Lord shouted at her. Rin cried more. She was shaky from the fear. He kicked her hard in the ribs and left her there.

"Back to work Rin!" He shouted before he left. Rin lay there on the floor, she coughed lightly and cries.

"Lord Sesshoumaru... Why did you not find me?" She whispered to herself and cried more.
