Chapter 2

"Oh! Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken cried. Kirin turned to see the man standing behind her. He was tall, about a foot taller than she was, and he was wearing a white kimono with a red flower design on the shoulder. He also had chest armor and a...fluff thing. His broad chin had upon it a thin, frowning mouth, and he stared at her with cold, golden eyes. "Who is this, Jaken?" "Well...uh...I don't know," he stammered "Rin brought her here. "Rin," he questioned. "His voice is so deep and rich," Kirin thought. "Well, " Rin begun, "I was hungry so I went looking for some food. I was attacked and she saved m..." Sesshomaru cut her off. "Saved you, huh...Jaken, Rin, come." He turned abruptly and he left quickly and silently. Jaken and Ah-Uhn followed behind and Rin turned to Kirin. "Thank you again," She said with a small bow. Then she turned and ran after her "friends". "Bye." she waved. Kirin nodded her head and turned to go "home".

Kirins' mind raced as she walked to the place where she called home. "He didn't even thank me. Not for saving Rin. Why is she with him anyways? Could it be he liked humans?" She shook her head. That thought seemed highly unlikely. "But where was he going?" Kirin shook her head. "Why am I still thinking about that jerk! He was hardly kind to me," she yelled aloud to herself. She set her jaw and stomped off to her clearing. As she neared it she saw a small, shell comb that was sitting alone on the ground. "This must be Rins'," Kirin muttered to herself. "Maybe I should bring it back to her," she thought. "No, There is no reason for that. It is only a comb. Kirin knew that she could either keep the comb for her own auburn hair, or just throw it away into the woods. She remembered his cold eyes. "Lord Sesshomaru, huh? No. I will return it. And when I do, I will expect a thank you. I will not take no for an answer." Kirin started out walking in the direction that Sesshomaru had left in. As she whiffed the air for his scent, she thought about those cold, golden eyes. "I am coming Sesshomaru. I am coming..."
