It's has been a week since she arrived to the past, still they have no clue on how she had gotten here at first Kagome thought she have fallen from the well but when it was confirmed that, that wasn't the case she decided to take her time while trying to find a way back to her own time, it was also those time that she meet Kagome's friend Sango, Miruko and a fox demon named Shippo, all seems has a knowledge on where Kagome really came from and since then they also have been trying to help her to cope up of how to get used to this time of course it wasn't easy as that knowing there's no Television and Internet in the feudal era she's been using her time helping Rin and lady Kaede on gathering some herbs, the old lady was the one who propose that she lived with her and Rin since the house that she have been staying after she was found out was Kagome and her Husband Inuyasha a half demon, she was not even surprise since it was said that His brother found her which is a full demon, 'and speaking of demon in an era where demon should be feared of, it was odd that the people in the village has been warm with the demons living here, just like Shippo almost everyone in the village always give him food and seems so friendly with him maybe it was because of what happened eight years ago as well as the fact that they are like a family to Lady Kaede, and Shippo he has been living with Sango and Miruko with Sasune, Sunue and Shiro' she stiffened upon remembering the children of Miruko and Sango 'oh yes those three' "is something that matter Sanha?" she turn her gaze to Rin who also halt her steps they have been walking side by side and currently on the way to Sango's house for her to ask about different kind of poison to use on her arrow since they said that the woman was a well-known demon slayer and that the said woman can help her with her plan, aside from helping Rin and Lady Kaede with gathering herbs she has been practicing with her archery in order not to get rusty in using the weapon since she was sure she needed to retake the test when she come back home, also to be able to protect herself with demons like she encountered in the forest a week ago and base on experience she knew how difficult it was to kill a demon even with her mastery on using knife that's why she needed more than a simple arrow for that, she had told Rin about it and the girl seems too enthusiastic to come with her, though she have forgotten the energetic children of the Monk and Demon Slayer who didn't stop on believing she's a demon and since she doesn't have a tail and ears like Shippo and Inuyasha the one they keep on pulling is her hair, she unconsciously rub her head, when Rin saw this she got worried "does your head hurt?" Sanha look at the worried look of the girl and she tried to smile "no I'm fine but I just thought that it's almost night time maybe we should continue our visit tomorrow and heed back to lady Kaede's house I'm kind of worried about her" she reasoned it's true the Old woman is already in her seventies though still strong she can't help but get worried there's that and some other reason while Rin just nodded and then smiled "hmmn okay, since I can also help lady Kaede on preparing food" she smiled while they turn their way back to Lady Kaede's house,
" Sanha You're back, how was your visit to sango?" it was Lady Kaede who's gathering some water , the old woman takestop from walking upon seeing the girl walking towards her, she just smiled and take the jug to the old woman and then walk beside her "it's fine, miss Sango recommend some poison but unfortunately she doesn't have those poison already though she told me that she can help me on how to make but I still need to gather some plants that are needed" she answered while the old woman who just listening intently, she leave to Sango's house early in the morning, she's not an early person thus also those children one reason why she intended on going early and she got back in the good mood, "I guess you can ask Rin to come with you to Geninje's farm to make sure you can gather those plants that are needed" Geninje another half demon friend of Kagome who lived outskirts of the village who own a farm it is said that they just moved to the village not too long ago since Geninje is not like Inuyasha who look like human except with his ears the former though a kind one and much nicer than Inuyasha is not really been gifted with human features and almost been killed by the villagers, she have meet the half demon in one of occasion where she, Lady Kaede, Kagome and Rin visit the farm to gather a certain herb, she's about to ask where the young girl is when she suddenly smelled something familiar she halted her steps which also prompt the old woman to stop beside her "is something that matter Child?" she ask seeing the frozen state of the young woman beside her, "say Lady Kaede is there someone else inside with Rin?" the old woman turn her head to where Sanha was staring they not far away from the hut where Rin is, the old woman look at her "oh I almost forgot, there's someone you should meet, follow me" she furrowed her brows but didn't said anything the old woman continue on walking towards the hut when, the door opened revealing a very ecstatic Rin who's running towards when she's within an arm's reach the girl stop and give her a smile "Sanha let's go, My Lord is here to take a look for you" Rin grab her other hand while the other arm was carrying the jar
While she got drag inside the house the old woman take the jar to her and suddenly came face to face with a man with white long hair sharp ears, a paint on his face with a fur? On his shoulder,
"Sanha this is Lord Shessumaru, he was the one who help you" the girl said who got seated while she's busy looking at the demon who also to open his eyes and stared at her while she stared back, she tilted her head 'so this is Inuyasha's older brother' the girl ushered her to seat beside her when she just stand and didn't move, "so you are the Shessumaru" she ask while the guy just gave her a cold gaze "that's Lord Shessumaru for you ungrateful brat" it was another voice beside the guy she turn her gaze to where the voice come from and "oh I see, so you are Jacken, I thought you're an Imp why does you look like a demon toad?" she ask to the green demon with an odd looking staff, with those words left her mouth the small guy stand up looking so piss off "why you-!" he was cut off when The other Demon stood up and say "we're leaving" though it wasn't really confirmed if he was talking to Jacken or to Rin when he got pass her, Rin stood up from her seating position and followed him at the door while smiling "oh! Okay see you next week Lord Shessumaru, Master Jacken" she with her usual cherry tone and wave at the leaving back of both demons
she just stood beside Rin while she scratch her nape, she wasn't even able to say her thanks she didn't intend to get the small guy angry but what she said was actually true since she haven't seen an imp before, and more importantly should she follow or not? She sigh when no answer came to her.
'How odd there was definitely smell of demon blood that are coming from her wounds though faint still it was there yet the girl was nothing but a mere human even her scent doesn't have a trace of it'
"Wait!" he stop his musings when he heard the woman's voice it was also the time where Jacken stop his blabbering, he halt his steps and turn his gaze from the young girl that running towards them, Shessumaru just gave her his usual cold gaze while Jacken gave her a glare "what do you want human?" when she got closer she stop her steps and tried to catch her breath after that she bowed " I just want to say thank.. You" it was Jacken who gave her a smug look in his face and said "you should be after how Lord Shessumaru saved your fragile human life" while she straighten and smile then scratch her nape "I'm actually kind of hungry back then so-" after he critically gave her a look he turn his back "let's go Jacken" he coldly says not interested on what the human girl would say while Jacken look at him before he followed the demon "yes! My lord" the Imp demon gave the girl a second look before continued his walk and then look at the back of his lord ' what was my lord thinking when he saved the human girl?'.
Sanha just stared dumfounded to the disappearing back of the two demons, "oh well there's no time dwelling with it at least I already said my thanks" she put both hands on the back of her head and then turn to leave, both brothers are different while Inuyasha's yellow, the other one was gold and somewhat cold eyes, no wonder only Rin can get through to the demon she's naïve and cheerful, 'somewhat' kind of Kagome, and she said it 'somewhat'.
after what transpired that morning nothing more than their usual routine happened it was afternoon when Sanha and Rin decided to visit Ginenji's farm to gather the plants that she needed in making some poison, but when they came to the farm it was then noted that the only plants that are present in the farm are those can help in curing poison and can also be a poison itself though the man help them on where to find the other plants that needed she then decided to go back to the village after saying thanks to his mother and to the half demon, it's almost sunset when they left the farm and currently leisurely walking so she can able to appreciate the view she was after all at the time where there's no such word as Pollution,
"I'm sorry, I didn't imagine these would happen." she turn her head to Rin who was looking at her with concerned eyes, it was odd that she seems more disappointed than her, she gave her smile and mess Rin's hair that causes to the young girl to look up to her "no it's fine, on the contrary I expected as much" it's true she kind of expected the probability that some of the plants won't exist in the gentle half demons farm.
"but still you're pretty excited on to applying those poison in your arrows" the younger girl reasoned to her while bowing her head, she just look forward true that she had expected such possibility yet the disappointment won't just go easily "Geninji said It wasn't too far from the village, I just have to follow the map that he made and be able to gather the plants, it won't be long before I'm able to make the poison, you don't have to worry " she turn to the girl who was about to protest again when she cut it off "really, you shouldn't be too work up about it" they gave Rin a reassuring smile, the young girl seeing that she won't win this argument sigh and murmured "if you say so" she let out a chuckle and look at the cloth where the plants that Geninje gave her has been put "yes, of course" she murmured after that they walk back in silence.
"I'm coming with you" after coming back from the village and asking for her permission Kagome just gave her those words and with the "I'm only letting thee if there is someone with ye" the old woman uttered,
She doesn't really want to argued with it but with the fact that Kagome is the one insisting on assisting her she just can't let it go, Inuyasha was in his job where they called 'demon slaying' and if worse comes worse she didn't want to be in the more bad side of the half demon, who seems doesn't really like her that much she let out a sigh "there's nothing bad going to happen it was not far away from her, I can live with it"
Kagome crossed her arms in her chest "you came from that forest when you got attacked by demons, how sure are you that won't happen again?" she gave a second thought now with what the woman said she has a point she might not be lucky to came back alive she gaze the woman who was seating beside her 'but what about the half demon' she asks to herself it wasn't a secret that the woman was pregnant though still small if she conclude she can say the woman is three or less month in her pregnancy and it really wasn't a good idea putting a pregnant woman's life in danger, no matter how much you disliked her husband.
"I don't want to put you in danger, specially the baby" she uttered while she bit her lower lip and gave her a worried look, "she's right kagome, Inuyasha wouldn't be happy if he find out about it" second by the old woman who has been listening to the two with Rin with that words Kagome wasn't able to argue and let out a huff "okay" she surrendered, while Sanha let out a grateful smile "but you still need to have someone with" her smiled faltered "then can I come with her?" it was Rin who ask she turn her gaze to the younger girl and then answered "I won't let you" Rin turn her eyes to the old woman beside her, who smiled at the young girl "do you really want to go with her Rin?" she ask , the young girl nod "yes, I really want to help her too" she answered with her determined look, the old woman sigh "I guess you can" the girl smiled but Sanha protested "but it-", before she can finish her sentence she was cut off by Kagome "you don't have to worry about her, she knew the place really well she can help you get out of the forest without encountering a demon, I think it was a good idea" then letting out a genuine smile at her.
It was early in the morning when they decided to leave, they are currently making their way to the forest and just gotten passed the well where she was discovered by Shessumaru and his servant Jacken, after seeing the path and the trees she can still feel the scrapes that the thin branches made to her legs and hear the cracking noise of dried twigs beneath her shoes both causes by her hurried trip away from the place itself, as she followed Rin's trail she tried her best to not let those memories of her Survival cross her mind, they dodge some Branches with their unhurried walk and it seems Rin was really familiar with since she walk away from the path where she came from before,
"I take it wasn't your first time here?" the girl turn her head to her and smile with a nod as she turn back her gaze forward "yes, Lady Kaede brought me here many times since there are still plants that only exists in the wild" she reasoned "that's why I'm surprise when they said you got attacked by demons since when Lady Kaede brought me here I wasn't able to encounter one" she furrowed her brows "really?" they were getting deeper of the forest though because of how vague things are and since she's not quite sure when or which path was it that she got transported to this era the only thing that she was sure is about those green beast and flying head that are following her since then, "yes, demons are not common here though, it's only natural to encounter one" said by Rin who was busy looking to her surrounding "now let's see, can I borrow the map?" Sanha gave the map to the girl and let the woman examine it, she look up to her and smile "we still need to go deeper" while pointed the encircled thing on it "it says that the easiest place to find was to get deeper" she says still pointing the thing and turn back to walk forward "though it's on different area" she murmured "I think it would be best if we split up I'll take the furthest part and we'll rendezvous back to the centre" she answered to the young girl as she pointed the places that she mention, she's lucky Geninje draw in the map how those plants look like and where area does she likely will found them, the girl turn to her and smile "that's a good Idea here take this" she handed the map to her "I have read the names of the plants and I'm quite familiar with it, you need it the most" she gave her a look "are you sure?" the girl merely nodded "I know the way where we will meet each other while you're still not quite familiar with "
"Okay then, take care" she answered back "just don't walk far away from the encircled areas there will be most likely still demons out there" before Rin could walk away, "wait Rin!" she shouted the girl turn to her and tilted her head, as if asking why , she hesitated before saying "why?, are you so intent on helping me?" the question that has been haunting her since her stay the girl was always with her helping her with everything though Sanha should just let it be and be grateful there's something in her mind telling her to ask, in wasn't long before Rin smiled that same sweet innocent smile she has and says "because I want to help you the same way my Lord help me when I was young," Rin turn her head and started to step before she continued "and also isn't it just the most typical way to do?" leaving her speechless..
She blame it on her nose yes not on her brain but her nose because it was beginning to acting strange since yesterday , she was already deeper in the woods when a sordid odor came to her nostrils it was kind of familiar but there's something more different about it, and by the smell of it the thing is getting nearer to where she is , she can hear the familiar cracking of the twigs and most of all the once been occupied by trees has been replaced by a big green abdomen it stop it course in front of her but the only thing she can see is it's big fatty stomach and the disgusting scent of something she can't explain, it's seriously nauseating her and covered her nose just to stop from inhaling such foul smell that seriously coming from the demon in front of her, "what's these?', are you lost human?" the humongous demon ask in his sickly cracky voice, she turn her head upwards and been meet with a toothy grin with his one eye in his head looking down at her.
Her whole body is in pain not to mention the forming of a mix of purple and red on her right shoulder where the pesky demon was able to hit her with his humongous hand that would have surely crushed her bones if the demon was able to catch her, not only does the demon was the biggest one she ever saw since her arrival it also has the sharp claws that able to cut other parts of her body, it was a good thing that the demon is slow that she's able to dodge every time he tries to use his claws to rip her or else she would have cut ten into pieces a long time ago , the kimono that she's wearing was ripped everywhere and her blood was dripping out on every cut of her body, her arrows that she used against the demon littering everywhere, she just gaze up to the smirking demon ' I hope I still have those knives' she says dryly to herself while fighting and trying not slip into unconsciousness due to her blood loss, and it's getting more difficult every passing second, when the demon tried to grab her again, catching Sanha off guard ,though she was able to slide away but it caused her from tripping to the ground and everything turns black.
