Chapter one

"Lord Sesshoumaru!! Please wait!" Jaken called after his dog demon master. He was carrying the body of Rin, who was badly hurt by some unknown demon. You foolish girl, he thought to himself, you should have stayed where Sesshoumaru told you to...

they were taking the girl to a nearby village, where Sesshoumaru hoped to ellicit some help. For the girl of course. Even though they both knew that the chances of her pulling through were slim to none. Sesshoumaru rann faster, leaving his green skinned servant behind, his cries for rest falling on deaf ears.

"Rin, hold on..." said Sesshoumaru to himself. He could hear the village now, any human could hear the sounds of laughter and cheer. He could feel Rin twitching in his strong arms, yearning for life.

"we're almost there" He said, not believing it. He rushed by the lit fire, not feeling any more twitching in his arms. She wasn't breathing. Her eyes were faraway, like a doll's. "I'm too late..." His face was now skewered with anger, showing hatred to all who dared to look upon him. "I swear, if I find the youkai who did this.." he promised to himself.
He walked back to Jaken, who was waiting for him. When he saw Rin motionless in the youkai's arms, he gasped. "lord Sesshoumaru... tell me she is not dead..." He cried as his master layed the girl by an oak tree. "I would only be telling a lie then" "but can't you just use the Tensuigua?" he said.
Sesshoumaru glared at him, making words unecessary. He maged to growl, "someone stole it" "WHAT? Lord sesshoumaru how could this happen? You are the lord of the western lands!" Another glare silenced him.
Sesshoumaru picked up Rin, then in a clamer tone, said: "we're leaving." Then he began to walk. Jaken followed, hoping not to get on his master's bad side.
Then the youkai smelled it. The same scent that covered his precious Rin, the demon murderer's scent. He quickly turned his head around. "thye must be close" he mumbled, and grabbed Jaken. "my lord! Where are you taking me?!"

Two days later, Sesshoumaru had still not caught up with the demon. "thisi s insane. No matter how fast I run, I can't seem to catch him. Just how fast is this thing?" the youkai mumbled to himself. He stopped for a little bit, and was awoken by a scent. The scent of his hanyou brother, Inuyasha.
