The Start Of Something New

Chapter 1 - An Assault

Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken were walking down the forest. Rin was continuously chattering, "…The weather is so nice. Where are we headed to now, Lord Sesshomaru? I hope it has lot of sweet-smelling and colorful flowers. And I also hope that we don't run into anymore demons. I don't like them at all…"

Jaken (unable to stand her chatter): Oh, please Rin, can't you stay quiet for even two minutes?

Rin: Of course, Master Jaken.

She put a finger on her lips. She walked like that for a while.

Rin: But staying quiet is no fun. I hate silences. That's why I want to talk and talk and talk.

Sesshomaru suddenly stopped.

Jaken: What's wrong, Lord Sesshomaru?

Sesshomaru: Take Rin and get out of here.

Jaken: But why, my lord?

Sesshomaru: I can smell Naraku. Now go!

Jaken: Yes, my lord. C'mon Rin.

And he took Rin's hand and started running.

Rin: Where are we going?

Jaken: Don't ask questions, just run.

They started to run.

Sesshomaru turned and started running towards the scent. A little later, he came to a stop. Then he looked around him. Sure enough, Naraku was standing on a tree-branch wearing the baboon skin.

Sesshomaru: Well, well. To think you went through the trouble of finding me.

Naraku: I have my reasons. I came to ask you, one last time, whether you will join me or not.

Sesshomaru: Here's your answer.

With that he took out his Tokijin and slashed it at him. Naraku jumped and landed on the ground.

Naraku: So is that a firm 'no'?

Sesshomaru: You dare ask?

He slashed his sword at him again. Naraku didn't try to dodge it but just stood where he was. As he started to disappear due to the full impact of the Tokijin, he said, "Someone else will have to pay for that…" And he vanished.

Sesshomaru saw a wooden stick doll fall.

Sesshomaru: Huh, a demon puppet. He doesn't even have the courage to come out of his hideout.

Just then the full meaning of his last words struck him. He quickly made his way to the place Jaken and Rin were headed. As he ran, he could scent Jaken but Rin's scent was nowhere to be found.

Jaken ran to Sesshomaru.

Jaken: Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! Rin has been abducted by the demons!

Sesshomaru: What? (thinking) So that's what he meant by saying that.

Jaken: Just as we ran, we got surrounded by numerous demons. I tried to fight them, but there were too many of them. One of them took hold of Rin. I tried to stop him but he hit me on the head and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, they were gone. I am so sorry, Lord Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru: There's no use being sorry. We have to find her. Let's go.

With that, he started following the trail of Rin's scent.
