Seshomaru heard her cry and was immediatly enraged. Someone was hurting his Rin. No one dared to touch her while he was around so he gracefully jumped to his feet and flew in the direction of her short scream. As he drew closer a new smell reached his nose. Why did she have to wander off so far? He thought, further angered that the ones causing Rin pain were demons, and many of them by the strength of their putrid stench. The sight that greeted Seshomaru when he flew out of the trees into the large plain Rin had been picking flowers in shocked him enough to slightly loosen his hold the stoic mask he usually wore. His stomach turned when he saw the disgusting creatures before him.
Slavers.
Human slavers were taking his Rin. And by the smell of them they had sold the bodies of many young women.
He doubled his efforts to reach her, to snatch her pure being from their tainted hands but something broke through his anger. They were dragging her to a hole that emanated a strange smell. He tried to control the beast inside him that roared and clawed to be released. She cannot be taken. He told himself but he knew it was too late. Her body was already being dropped into the pit and it was shutting.
He was a mere ten feet away when the pit closed and a large cloud of gas coated the entrance. In overwhelming anger Seshomaru tried to claw through the gas and reach the girl beneath but the moment he touched the coat of vapor his skin began to burn. Ignoring the pain he continued to reach for the opening but was shocked to find the fumes grow and wrap around his body, surrounding him in the corrosive gas.
He jumped up, pain racking his body while skin was bubbling and falling off him. Seshomaru growled in frustration, he was usually immune to poison in any form but this vapor was unknown to him and he knew if he stayed in it too long he would die.
The ground here was mainlly rock so it would be impossible for him to dig to her and he couldn't use his sword to crack the earth open in fear of harming her in the process. Seshomaru swung his sword and destroyed twenty trees in his anger. This Seshomaru is not beaten. He thought angrily while he pondered how to rescue Rin.
"My Lord! My Lord! Where have you gone?" Jaken screeched as he ran through the forest. He spotted the damaged trees and correctly assumed that was where his master was.
"Why did you fly away so quickly my Lord?" Jaken asked between breathes when he finally reached Seshomaru. Seshomaru looked down at him with blood-red eyes with his face marking jagged. Jaken gulped.
"M-my L-lord?" Jaken whimpered before being sent airborne with a kick from Seshomaru.
Seshomaru turned back to the mist that guarded the pit after releasing the last bit of his anger on Jaken. I will find you Rin. He thought to himself. I will always come for you.
