Hey guess you noticed I'm updating pretty early for only posting the first chapter a couple days ago. The IPad I usually write my story's on was owned by my school, and at the end of the year they are taken back. Even thoe we pay enough money each year to actually buy it ourselves, and aren't allowed to use our own. But anyway it's gonna be taken in a day or two and I wanted to get this out before then so I'm not in the middle of a chapter.

Slight Sesshomaru POV
Sesshomaru, a daiyokai and Lord of the west with his pack decided to settle down early tonight, even if there was no actual discussion and he had made the decision himself. His pack consisted of Rin, a ningen girl he had decided to take on as his ward. Ah-Un, a two headed dragon that had been loyal to him since he was a pup, and Jaken a annoying kappa servant that didn't know the meaning of quiet. The camp was set up and Rin wandered off a bit to explore, as long as she stayed where he could sense her he let her do as she pleased, when Sesshomaru noticed that Rin was running back to the camp. He didn't notice anything that could be a danger to her, so he just thought that she had found something and was excited to show everyone else. He was partially right for as soon as she ran into the clearing panting she exclaimed.

"Rin found an Angel! She looks really hurt, can we help her? Pleeease Lord Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru could hear Jaken squawking something along the lines of angels not being real, the pitch of which put his teeth
on edge. He put a stop of it quickly by flaring his Yokai in warning. He stood up and started walking toward Rin, an act that showed her she was to lead the way. Sesshomaru was fairly curious of just what it is she could of found as he didn't sense anything within the area, if it was a danger to them he could kill it easily. Rin had lead him to a grove of trees, and at the base of the largest tree was the supposed angel. Yet Sesshomaru could still not sense this person. He breathed in, in an attempt to scent the 'angel'. What he found was that the scent was saturated with that of nature and was hard to discern from the surroundings. There was only the smallest of differences, this 'angel' had the smallest scent of being in a dungeon for a time. This was proven by the fact he could see the outline of shackles on dainty wrists, covered by dingy black hair that was splayed about around the person. Covering most of there form. As well as ratty ratty clothing that were thread bare and covered in dirt. Sesshomaru could understand why Rin had called this person an angel. From the glimpses of there skin from through there hair, appeared to be soft, subtle, and white enough to where the light through the trees of the sunset seemed to make it glow. There hair looked as if it would be silly and smooth after a wash. He could not tell if they were a male or female. There body looked as if it would move with natural grace, and yet he could tell they had some form of combat training if the lithe mussels on there person said anything. The 'angel' was splayed out over the roots as if they had fallen and not had enough energy to move before
losing consciousness.

Rin decided now would be a good time to move the angel and gently rolled them onto there back with there head held in her
lap. At this point it was obvious the angel was a male with a more androgynous look, as well as he being ningen as there were no markings on his body. With his hair out of the way Sesshomaru could get a good view of the shackles. They were rusted and crude, with strange markings that looked to have been carved into them. As well as spanning over the entirety of the human's body restricting almost all movement to a degree. At every point the chains were held to his body the skin was black and chapped, it was probably quite painful. Yet his face showed no such discomfort. His face was slack as if merely in a peaceful sleep. Now that he got a more closer look at his face he realized that he was probably quite beautiful while awake. He had dark eyelashes that brushed against his cheeks, full pink lips that seemed to almost pout, as well as the most perfect completion Shesshomaru has ever seen. All in all this ningen's beauty rivaled even the most noble of the female demons that he has seen thus far, and Sesshomaru was intrigued. Why is it that someone would go to such lengths to contain this person. Yes this ningen looked as if he would put up a good fight, but he did not have the body of a seasoned warrior and Sesshomaru could not sense any ill intent on this person. If anything it almost seems like they would only fight to be that of a protector, and seemed to have an almost motherly aura about him, even in sleep. It was then that Rin asked.

"Can we help Angel-San to get better Lord Sesshomaru?"

He simply nodded, yet Rin smiled as if he had given her a present and started gathering the human's chains onto his body to make it easier to move him. Sesshomaru motioned with his hand for Jaken to help her, he quickly scurried forward but as soon as he touched one of the many chains he yelled and quickly released it holding his hand. Jaken then started yelling about being burnt from them. Sesshomaru glided toward the prone form and lifted a chain within his clawed fingers. He quickly released it and looked at his fingers that had blisters that were quickly healing. Rin seemed to have no problem handling them however. It seemed the chains only had an effect on Yokai , it could be possible that the 'angel' was a half-Yokai seeing that the chains have an effect on him. Sesshomaru carefully lifted the 'angel' so that he would not come in contact with the chains again. Jaken was screeching about not stooping so low as to touch the ningen and how they should leave him to die. He once again stopped such behaviors by hitting the toad over the head and leaving him dazed on the ground, Rin had aparently not appreciated his comment of leaving the angel to die as she followed Sesshomaru instead of waiting on the kappa like she usually would. It would seem his ward had formed an attachment to her angel and would most likely like to keep him with them. He saw no problem with this as he would most likely be more useful to his ward than the loud mouth toad. Sesshomeru completely disregarded the thoughts of his beast wanting to keep the ningen, as well as his thoughts of intrigue of the mystery surrounding the 'angel'. Seeing as it would be improper of a Lord to harbor such thoughts. They reached the camp quickly and Sesshomaru placed the 'angel' down onto one of the pallets laid out around the fire. He knew that removing the chains would be a good place to start in caring for the 'angel'.

"Rin go and get some water and bandages, and bring them here."

Shesshomaru told Rin. She quickly shot off to Ah-Un to procure the needed items. Sesshomaru knew that it would be a
bad idea to touch the chains. So he carefully as to not harm the 'angel', had acid drip onto the chains and locks. As soon as the last of the shackles fell away from his body there was a flair of Yokai. Slowly light grey markings became apparent on the 'angel'. The 'angel was apparently a elemental Yokai, from what he could discern from his markings. Elemental Yokai were very strong and very rare, one would be lucky to even catch a rumor of one in their life time. There wasn't much known about them and what was known was that there markings changed color to show there emotions and if they are sick, they are peace loving, but could destroy an entire army if one they cared for was in danger. Yet here was one right in front of his eyes and fairly weak from the color of his markings. It was then that Sesshomaru caught more of his scent, he was an unclaimed submissive. He could feel his beast growling in his cage telling him to claim him as their mate. Sesshomaru merely tightened his holding on his beast and continued removing the chains, telling it that even should he want to they couldn't when angel was in no condition for a courting at the moment.

Sesshomaru didn't even notice that he was now referring to him as angel now, at least until they knew his name. His beast
settled down as it could feel Sesshomaru's intent to at least think about perusing a courtship. Rin returned as he was throwing the last of the chains away from angel, disregarding the sound of hissing as it 'accidentally' hit Jaken. The skin where the shackles had rested were now bleeding sluggishly, and seemed as if it was burned. Sesshomaru took the water and gently washed the afected areas and warped them. There were now wrappings around angel's neck, ankles, wrists, and stomach. It was while he was wrapping Angel that he noticed that there were scars covering most of Angel's back and spread over the majority of his body. Thankfully not as much as his back. At the sight of the scars he became enraged, it took a lot for a Yokai to scar. Let alone have shackles that harm and repress their Yokai nature. At this thought Sesshomaru drew the conclusion that Angel was held by ningen as a Yokai would not to use the shackles. The scars he would have to wait to learn the story of as they were to old to have been given by his captors. Rin came over with more water in a bowl and was most likely going to have Angel drink from. She cupped his head and brought the bowl to his lips. At this point his face scrunched up and his lips pressed together so no liquid could enter his mouth with a soft whimper. It seemed his captors had kept him long enough that he no longer trusted what was fed to him, enough so that he seemed to be atempting to regain consciousness, to most likely stop anything from entering his mouth. Sesshomaru moved closer and let out a reassuring rumble, in an attempt to calm him down. Angel paused for a moment and slowly relaxed and allowed Rin to give him some water. It was clear he was beyond exhausted, and yet he found enough energy to open his eyes slightly in an attempt to prove to himself that they were not his captors. Sesshomaru got a glimpse of the most amazing green eyes that seemed to resemble the most beautiful of emeralds, Angel had seemed to reassure himself enough to fully relax into unconsciousness in an attempt to regain more was apparently calling it a day as she settled down next to Angel soon after and curled up to his side. Apparently the story's of elemental Yokai being more motherly are true as he
pulled her closer to where she now was in his arms with her head on his shoulder. Everyone in the camp followed after, Jaken was curled up next to the fire on the opposite side of the two, Ah-Un was sleeping toward the edge of the clearing, and Sesshomaru settled down a few paces away from the two needing the most protection. His back was against a tree and he fell asleep while keeping his senses open to anyone that could approach their
camp.

The next day Angel was laid on Ah-Un along with Rin as he seemed to panic slightly in his exhaustion when left alone. It seemed elemental Yokai were social creatures as his markings would lighten when someone was never him. At night Sesshomaru would clean and rebandage the injuries from the shackles and everyone would sleep in the same positions as the first night. At times it seemed like he was trying to regain consciousness, but didn't have enough energy to even stay half awake for more time to drink some water or broth before sleeping once again. At times he seemed to wake as if to check they were still there. The same process was was repeated day after day. Waiting for Angel to open his eyes and Sesshomaru could glimpse those emeralds in full for the first time.
