Chapter 2: The Town of Bandits
Sesshomaru was suprised and almost relieved when he caught a scent that was familiar to Rin's.
They had travelled all day, Rin was looking around trying to spot a village.
"Oh look Lord Sesshomaru." Rin pointed over to a village that was quite a ways from them.
That was where her scent was coming from.
"What exactly are we doing Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked.
Sesshomaru didn't want to answer that, and luckily for him, Rin did.
"Lord Sesshomaru is helping me find my parents." She said.
"Oh, so he's finally getting rid of you." Jaken said.
Rin pulled on Ah-Un's reins for him to stop.
Sesshomaru hearing the sudden stop, he turned to her.
Great job Jaken..
"Are you planning to leave me with my parents if we find them?" Rin asked, looking at Sesshomaru.
"If we find them, that will be your decision." Sesshomaru said, and before turning to continue his walk, he gave a glare to Jaken, telling him to keep his mouth shut.
Ah-Un continued walking.
When they reached the village, it looked like any other village.
"Ah-Un will have to remain here." Sesshomaru said.
Rin nodded, and hopped off of the big dragon, and next to Sesshomaru.
When Sesshomaru continued walking again, Rin followed, but turned and quickly said, "Ah-Un, stay there."
While they walked, Sesshomaru found that the familiar scent to Rins' was becoming faint, and a different scent was filling the village.
"Where are they?" Rin asked.
"I have lost their scent." Sesshomaru said.
Rin was confused by that, if he had caught the scent, and said they were here, how could they just vanish?
"What brings you here." A male voice sounded behind the two.
Rin was the first to turn around, and when Sesshomaru saw the fear in her eyes, he turned as well.
Once he saw the group of men before him, he began to wonder how this scent brought him here.
"Looks like another package of fresh meat, the other two that were here got lucky, fleeing the village." One of the other men said.
So, he had just missed them.
He wasn't far after all, but right now, they were standing before humans that he hated the most, and humans that Rin feared.
Rin's fear gave him strength.
As soon as the men attacked, Sesshomaru moved ahead of Rin, releasing his poison claws, and letting them tear down the bandits.
Now they were in nothing but an empty village.
He turned back to Rin.
"They are not far. Come." Sesshomaru said as if nothing had just happened.
As dark time fell, Sesshomaru continued on, with Rin asleep on Ah-Un's back.
He began wondering, when he found them, would she want to stay? Would he want her to stay? He had to let her stay. Humans were the best place for her to live, if he had to kill every last dark hearted human near her... He would.
A/N: Hey, sorry it was short, this whole story might be short, I know I was being a little jumpy, but, my imagination is mainly focused on the ending, what will happen.
And in the real Anime, I do believe that Rin's parents are dead, but in this fanfic, I wanted to let her actually see them.
