Chapter 2

I hope you all are enjoying and will enjoy the coming chapters. First non-songfic fic! Yay!

Oh no! The crazy lawyer's back to make me say "mphffmphffmphff" (I don't own Inuyasha and Co. in muffle-ease). I do own the lovely Aimiko (I-E-me-ko); if you haven't discovered yet, I don't know the phonetic spelling so that's as close as we get lol. I hope you enjoy this second chapter to She's Mine To Protect.

All was peaceful in the small village. "AHHHHH!" Or not.

The villagers were interrupted from peaceful slumber at the sound of the screams that erupted from the entrance to the village. For Ryukotsusei had in fact returned, only to be much more powerful than before. But the villagers wouldn't know that, all they would realize is that they were in danger and needed to protect the village as best as they could. The men gathered their weapons, and the women gathered the elderly and children and had them escorted to the safe haven of their underground village. This bunker was located a little ways from the village and located behind a waterfall for times such as these. However, after Naraku's demise no one had figured another horrid demon coming to wreak more havoc. Only a few remained to help the men, and yep you guessed it! Aimiko and her parents. It seemed that the dragon was going to win, for as more men went to kill it, more men collapsed. The family was doing the best they could to treat the men as fast as they could, but the odds were becoming more and more stacked against them. The odds were so stacked that the remaining men told them to leave and take those they could with them. So with some of the younger men that didn't end up fighting they took those they could and fled to the haven.

So now you're wondering, "They're headed to safety, so, okay where's the almost lifeless body we read about in the summary?" To answer, "We're getting there! Goodness gracious!" (again I say that with love for all of you)

Unbeknownst to our survivors, one small little girl couldn't stand being away from her mother, so she fled back to the village to be with her. At arriving at the haven a head-count was taken. "So excluding those who stayed behind, almost everyone's accounted for...wait, where's Rin?" Aimiko freezes and her blood runs cold. "What do mean where's Rin? I sent her with you all!" "I know, and she was with us..." "Rin! Rin!" Aimiko yells. Kimiko (Aimiko's mom) goes to her daughter, "Sweetheart, please you need to calm down 'cause freaking out won't help at a time like this okay? So take some deep breaths and think for a minute about where she might have went off too." As good of advice as that was, that only ended up making Aimiko even more worried. So it was decided that a small group be put together to form a search party. This lessened Ai's (we're gonna give her a nickname) worries a bit, but she'd only feel better when she was holding Rin again. So the party went out and decided to head back in the direction of the village, to see if she went back there.

"What if we split up? That'll probably help us get more ground covered." Suggested Saito. (Remember him?) "Good idea Saito. How about you and I go back towards the village, while you two go east, and you to go southwest. Rin's got to be around somewhere, I just hope she's okay." Ai says. With a quick nod the others departed, leaving Saito and Ai heading back to the village. However, Saito not only wanted to help Rin, but used this opportunity to try and get close to lovely Aimiko. I know I should be more concerned about Rin, but this could be my chance to win Aimiko over. She's so beautiful, and I would be lucky to be her husband. Rin's sweet too. Saito thinks to himself. It was then that he was brought out of his thoughts for they were only a few feet from the remains of the village. "Rin! Rin! RIN! Where are you?" Aimiko yells. "I'm here momma!" "Oh thank goodness! Why'd you run back here it wasn't safe Rin. I sent you with the others because you'd be safe with them." "I know but I didn't want to leave you momma." Now Aimiko could never stay mad at Rin, and especially now for Rin's safety was assured. "As lovely as this moment is, I really think we should get back to the others. You never know when that dragon will come back." Saito states. "Good idea Saito...and thank you for your help." Aimiko says with a smile.

Chapter end-Just Kidding! XD I wouldn't end it here...not yet anyways.

"Come back? Why, I never left you stupid ningen! By the way, what a lovely sight this is! A mother and daughter reunited...I think I'll be sick." Ryukotsusei exclaims. "Too bad it didn't get to last. You were dumb enough to come back? What luck! I get a little after morning snack." Saito takes stance and prepares for the worst. Well, if I die, at least I got to spend my last moments with Aimiko. I can rest in peace with her smile in my thoughts. "Aimiko! Take Rin and run for it! NOW!" "Right." And that's exactly what they do. But Ryukotsusei had other plans. He decided that it'd be more fun to play chase, and that's what he did. In one swift motion Ryukotsusei attacked and dispatched of Saito, poor Saito had no time to react, and went after Aimiko and Rin. "I quite like this little game of chase, you doomed ningen." "Rin dear, I apologize." "What for momma?" "This."

What Ryukotsusei wasn't expecting was Aimiko jumping into a narrow ditch. Rin and Aimiko tumbled and tumbled down into the ditch. This caused Ryukotsusei problems because he couldn't fit to get to them, so they were safe for the moment. The tumble was long and far into the ditch, and by holding Rin in just the right way Aimiko spared Rin the more extreme injuries. That being said, Aimiko was in a very fragile state and was soo weak that she couldn't be moved without more injury. So there they all stayed. Rin crying and worrying over Aimiko and praying for a savior Aimiko lying unconscious and bleeding, and Ryukotsusei hovering like the grim reaper.

Alright everybody! What ya'll think? I bet you all can guess what's gonna happen in the next. If you can, I'll send you imaginary cookies the imaginary (crazy!) lawyer made. They're yummy cookies! I also now own Saito and Kimiko, even though they are popular names, they are original inventions of my own mind (so I hope this saves my butt from being sued). Other than that I will be accepting the award for the best cliff-hanger ever!

This Sesshomaru thinks you are suffering from delusions.

Am Not! *Yeah I think he's crazy too little fairy friend. What? You're names Pixie?

Hey This Sesshomaru, did you meet my fairy friend Pixie!

Inuyasha appears-What the hell! What am I doing here? Who are you? And I still hate you Sesshomaru.

The same younger brother. This Sesshomaru believes you to be transported here by the one there with the crazy look in her eyes. She is called...um...Lizzy I believe.

I'm here! But you forgot my fairy friend.

Inuyasha-her fairy friend?

S-This fairy friend she speaks of is imaginary. It is called Pixie.

I-A fairy friend named Pixie...she's nuts.

L-Cashews and peanuts actually.

S and I- Uh huh... O_o

Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter and my little spazz out! R&R EVERYBODY! :D

Who the HELL are you talking too? You're freaking me out!
