Disclaimer: I only own Mika, but I will let you know if I make up any other characters. :)

Notes: Sorry I took so long on this one, but it's not my main project at the moment.

A female wolf demon walked through the forest, bored out of her mind, still angry at that damn Koga, and wanting to read something. Mika was about to go borrow a book from one of the villagers when she heard a child humming. She smiled, all hostility gone, and walked towards the noise.

A young girl of around seven walked out of the bushes and looked up at her. "Hi," she said sweetly, "I'm Rin. Who are you?"

"My name's Mika. Are you alone, Rin?" the wolf asked.

"No, I'm with Lord Sesshomaru, and he should be back soon. You want to play with me until then? Master Jaken is no fun at all,"

Mika had heard of this "Lord Sesshomaru." He was Lord of the Western Lands, and a dog demon, too. It was said that he was an aristocratic, arrogant, narcissistic jerk, and yet also quite handsome. She shook her head to rid herself of those thoughts. She didn't want to fall in love again for a while.

Rin and Mika played for a while, having a lot of fun with the little human girl. "Just wait till you meet Lord Sesshomaru, Mika, I just know that you'll get along with him." Rin promised.

For some reason, Mika wasn't completely convinced. Just then a little green toad-demon/imp-looking thing hobbled into view. Upon seeing Rin, he immediately began yelling at her. "You stupid human girl! Lord Sesshomaru has been looking all over for you! How dare you worry him like that! After all that he's done for you, you go and do something like this?!" he screamed, irate.

Rin just stood there frozen, as the toad, Jaken, grabbed onto her arm and pulled her roughly in the opposite direction. He then rounded on Mika. "And you! You better leave before Lord Sesshomaru kills you for taking Rin somewhere she isn't supposed to go!! Now leave before I have to hurt you!!"

Mika glared at him. "Don't... EVER... Talk to me like that!" she yelled kicking him really hard into a tree. He slowly slid down and she kicked him again. "And never put your hands on Rin again or I'll neuter you."

Rin was amazed. Mika picked her up and held her in her arms. "You didn't tell me that you weren't supposed to be over there."

Rin shrugged sadly. "I didn't know. Sometimes I think Master Jaken makes up rules that he knows I'll break so I get in trouble with Lord Sesshomaru,"

"They don't ever hurt you, do they, Rin?"

"No, and if Master Jaken tries, Lord Sesshomaru gets really mad."

Soon, a very beat-up looking Jaken began following them. "Just wait until I tell Lord Sesshomaru of your impudence, wolf!"

They were almost to where said Lord Sesshomaru was, so Mika figured that she wanted to kick Jaken again. He flew across the rest of the field and into the forest. A taiyoukai awaited him as he flew past his head and into a tree. He looked towards where he came from and spotted a grown woman with Rin in her arms coming towards him.

Mika walked into the forest and set Rin gently down on the ground. She ran to a tall man with knee-length, silver hair, emotionless golden eyes, an indigo crescent moon on his forehead, and two identical magenta stripes on each side of his face as well as magenta markings on his eyelids. "Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said happily, pointing to Mika, "This is Mika. She played with me while you were gone,"

He shot her a glance as she was seen walking towards him. "How dare you have someone like... HIM... To baby sit such a sweet girl like Rin?! She did nothing to deserve such a punishment! All that everybody says about you is true! You're a narcissistic jerk who only cares about himse-"

"Never speak to me in that manner!" Sesshomaru yelled as he pinned her to a tree by the throat, his hand turning green. "I do not tolerate such attitudes as yours!"

Mika was slowly losing the ability to see, but she looked into those golden eyes and felt suddenly very weak and tired. "I change for no one..." she said with her last conscious breath, and then passed out.

"Then you die," Sesshomaru replied, ready to break her neck, when he felt someone holding on to his leg.

He loosened his grip on Mika's neck and looked down at the crying Rin. "Please, Lord Sesshomaru, don't kill my friend... She's been really nice to me, unlike Master Jaken..."

"This wolf demon was nice to you?"

"Yes." Rin sniffed.

He gave one last look at Mika. Not being able to stand the scent of Rin's tears, he dropped her to the ground and went to kill Jaken for being rude to Rin. By the time he'd come back, Mika was awake and angry as soon as he came into sight. He gave her a glare that she returned all too enthusiastically, but then she got that weary feeling again and laid back down, Rin by her side. "What's the matter, Mika?" she asked, but Mika was already passed out.

When she woke up, it was night-time and she was laying on the back of the two headed dragon, Aun. She opened her eyes and sat up, still a little bit dizzy from the last time that she looked into Sesshomaru's eyes. She sat with her arms around her bent legs and her chin on her knees. Why does she feel that way when she looks in his eyes? What is it about them?
