--Naraku's castle in feudal era Japan, 9:00pm—

Naraku sat meditating in the east wing dojo of his newly located castle.

"Kanna, has kagura reported back from the assignment I gave her?"

Kanna slowly stepped out of the shadows, her lifeless eyes glistened in the moonlight.

"Yes, she is on her way back with the girl"

A faint smile spread across naraku's face.

"Then things are going as planned..."

--earlier that day—

Rin slowly walked through a field of assorted flowers under a grey sky.

"mm this one smells so good! Don't you think so jaken?"

Jaken, out of breath, stumbled through the field behind rin, trying to keep up with the energetic teen.

"yes yes... they smell great, now when are we going back to the campsite? If lord sesshomaru gets back from his arons and we aren't there he'll be very displeased!"

Jaken frowned, it was obvious rin wasn't listening to a word he was saying.

"Rin! you are 16 years old; you can't just wonder around these demon infested lands all day! It's dangerous!"

Rin stopped and looked up into the sky, she was bored with this little toad and his babbling, she leaned over and picked a flower and turned around to silence jaken.

"I'm not a baby jaken, I've been training and I'm not as helpless as you may think…"

"hmph.. don't be so naïve.."

Jaken sighed, rin had changed over the years, he remembered how sweet and shy she had been when she first joined him and sesshomaru in there travels.

"fine, if you think your so tough then I'll just meet you back at the camp.."

Jaken stomped off towards the campsite in a huff before rin could even get a word out.

"wait! Jaken!"

Jaken ignored the girl's pleas and kept walking, he assumed she would follow.

"foolish girl.."

Rin clenched her fists and walked in the opposite direction.

"stupid jaken… I can defend myself; he treats me like a child!"

As rin stomped off she didn't notice she was wandering into a forest, or the fact that she was being followed.

--western border of sesshomaru's land—

Sesshomaru stood anxiously sniffing the air for a certain scent that he caught only a week earlier, a scent that should not be anywhere near his land, it was the scent of a demon of an opposing kingdom that once rivaled his father's…sesshomaru's nose twitched slightly and he took of running with amazing speed, within moments he reached a field of tall grass and stopped, he sniffed the air once more and cracked his knuckles; in the blink of an eye he was standing in the middle of the field holding a fairly large demon by the throat.

"foolish of you..."

Within seconds after that sharp statement, the demon's neck snapped and it's eyes rolled back into it's head… sesshomaru dropped the body and began walking back to camp… his work was done.

--in the forest—

Rin shivered as a cold breeze grazed her soft skin, she had been walking for awhile now and she wasn't sure where she was… things had gotten quite a bit darker now, the sun's light was dimmed because of the thick trees, rin quickly turned around when she thought she heard a twig snap.

"who's there!?"

Rin quickly turned around and began walking back, she quickened her pace when she heard what she thought were footsteps… she didn't know what was going on, but she knew she had to get out of that forest…fast.
