Chapter 2: Attacker from the past

Rin slowly opened her eyes and found herself on top of AhUn's back. She patted the two-headed dragon and carefully leapt down, "Good morning, Lord Sesshomaru, Master Jaken." She ran towards her two companions and caught up to them with ease.

Sesshomaru stopped but didn't turn around, "Jaken go on ahead with AhUn and see if there is a river close by." He looked down as his small servant with an expression that clearly said, 'Go now or see me as you never thought you would.'

Jaken nodded and with some help from Rin climbed aboard the beast, "Let's go." Soon they were soaring through the air.

Once Jaken was gone Sesshomaru turned to face Rin, "Rin, I have something to ask you and I didn't want Jaken to interfere like he normally does." He looked down at the young woman in front of him. How could he have missed it. It seemed like only yesterday she was tugging on his kimono signaling to him that she was hungry and wished to have a chance to go find some food. Now, he almost could not believe his eyes. She had changed and it had been for the better.

Rin was drawing pictures in the dirt with a stick, "What is it Lord Sesshomaru? Have I done something to upset you?" she stopped in mid line and looked up at her lord and caretaker. For nearly 10 years she had been traveling with this demon. Not a single twitch of fear ever flowed through her body that entire time. Rin not only trusted Sesshomaru with her life but knew that he was the only one in the world she could trust.

When he didn't answer her right away she walked over to a tree, "I feel something, my lord."

Her voice woke him up from the trance he had put himself in, "What was that Rin?" he asked.

"I feel something, like a voice calling to me. Telling me that it's time to follow my dream and fulfill my destiny." Rin turned around to face him, "I'm sorry I'm speaking nonsense." Her muscles tightened when she heard the rustling of leaves. But she relaxed when she realized it was Jaken.

"My lord I found a river a little ways up. AhUn can take Rin there and we can meet her once she has finished," the imp demon was trembling in fear for an unknown reason.

"Very well, Rin it's time for you to clean yourself up." Sesshomaru led her over to AhUn and helped her on to the dragon's back, "We well meet you there just as the sun sets."

Rin nodded in response, "Let's go AhUn!" the dragon took off. In minutes they reached a crystal clean river. Rin jumped down and patted the two-headed dragon, "Thank you AhUn, could you please stand guard until Lord Sesshomaru comes?" the dragon nodded in response. Rin looked around and made sure no one was around. Once she was sure the coast was clear, she carefully lifted her kimono just above her knees and washed her legs carefully, shivering slightly from the coldness of the water. Her muscles tightened again when she heard leaves rustling. Her senses told her it wasn't Lord Sesshomaru, "AhUn!" she cried out. The next thing she knew she was laying in a hut. Her head was aching like there was no tomorrow, "Where am I?"

"Ah good you're finally awake." A voice answered her, "Hey boss she's awake!" it was a scruffy sounding man.

"Good bring her to me."

Rin recognized that voice. But it couldn't be. He was dead wasn't he? She slowly sat up hoping to prevent giving herself a head rush, "Who is your lord and master?" she asked.

The man looked down at her, "His name is Lord Riunko."

Rin thought back. The name sounded familiar to her. Suddenly it hit her. Riunko was the leader of the bandits that attacked her village and killed her family, "What does he want with me?" she asked, a hint of fear twitching in her already shaking voice.

"I want you to be my bride." The voice came from a large temple like room, "Come, I am Lord Riunko and you must be Rinuati." (Ok, I know that's not Rin's real name but remember this is my story and there's a reason why I lenghted her name like that so bear with me!)

No one had ever used that name before, "How is it you know me? What do you want with me?" her voice was a bit stronger, now that she knew what she was dealing with.

Riunko chuckled, "I told you. I want you for my bride. I am the lord of this land I have the power over whom I will marry and whom I will destroy." He took her hand but she snatched it away, "I could destroy you instead, but if I were you I'd listen to your new fiancé."

Rin could feel his hot breath on her neck and she grew tense, "Very well my lord." As she spoke the next words she held her fingers crossed behind her back, "I will marry you on one condition."

Riunko kissed her neck, "Anything my love." He spoke with a lusty tone of voice, which most girls would find luring but Rin knew better.

"I want to invite someone to the wedding. He is my adopted father. Surely you wouldn't refuse a father's eyes to witness his only daughter's wedding." Rin knew she had to kill time, "The only thing is he is on business at the moment but I know how to reach him. Give me two days out in the forest and I will return with him."

Riunko nodded in response and leaned forward as if to kiss her, "Now-"

Rin stopped him, "Wait until after the wedding my love. After that you can have me." She felt herself nearly gagging as she spoke these words but knew it was the only way to save her one life.
