After sitting outside for a while you decide to head on back inside to see if anyone had woken up yet, and just as you come in and turn down a hallway you can hear Jaken and Rin arguing. You slide open the paper door and step inside. The room was rather large with a long low table. There were tapestries also in this room and you made a mental note to one day check one of those out. Rin is bugging Jaken as he tries to carry a pot just about as big as he is to the table, which of course didn't mean much because he was so short.

"Master Jaken do you need any help?" Rin asks him as he struggles with the large pot.

He doesn't answer her, and only scowls as he finally sets the pot on the table with a slight thud. He then leaves again into a door across the room where you guess is the kitchen. You come into the room and slide the door shut behind you. Hearing you coming in Rin turns to see you.

"Onee-san!" She says happily and runs up to you hugging your legs tightly.

Feeling only slightly awkward you touch her head slightly, and she steps away smiling. The room smells of beef and herbs and there are a few windows facing into a courtyard outside that give light to the room.

Jaken comes back into the room with a few bowls and sets them on the table. Rin takes your hand and pulls you to two of the cushions and pulls you down to sit next to her. The next few minutes you eat in silence other than the times you and Rin start a childish kind of play, like making faces at each other. You all finish and smiling to yourself satisfied with the full stomach you now have you and Rin stand up to leave the room, but just as you are about to slide the door open to leave a servant calls your attention. He tells you and Rin that you are going to set for the field again, and for a moment you're confused at what exactly the servant is indicating.

"Arigatou!" Rin says happily dismissing the servant and quickly pulling you out of the dinning room.

Minutes later you and Rin are playing outside. You and her sit in one of the many gardens that the castle holds and you and her pick flowers to make into jewelry, etc. Picking a beautiful pink flower from out of the bunch you and Rin had collected you add it to the headband you were making.

"Rin," You ask her calling on her attention.

"Yes, Onee-can?" She turns to look at you just as she picks another flower from the bed that the two of you sat in.

"Where did that servant mean by the field?" You ask, "Are we going somewhere?"

"Ohh, Onee-can we're going to look for this bad guy."

"Bad guy?" you repeat her confused as by what this little girl could mean by being so vague.

"Jaken-sama told me that we were going after this man who was responsible for me getting kidnapped by this boy Kohaku." She said and smiled like it was nothing much "The boy was nice but in the end, he was going to kill me."

"So Sesshomaru-sama wants to destroy Naraku," You state and she nods and picks another flower.

Inspecting it she smiles looking down at the small purple flower, and looking up she reaches for your hand happily. Pondering what she could want you give her your hand. Rin wraps the stem of the flower around your right pinky and knots it lightly. Looking up at you Rin smiles widely and the two of you giggle quietly.

"Onee-san can we play hide and seek?" she asks minutes later pulling on your sleeve.

"Yea, but I seek first," you say laughing and throwing down a flower you had been holding, "you go hide, but make sure to stay in this garden okay, or I might not even find you."

She nods and goes off running as you begin to count. Covering your eyes you don't notice someone else coming out into the garden. After a count to forty you decide that you've given her enough time and you run off to go find her. Rounding a bend at the end of a walk you see the lord once again.

He is leaning up against a cherry blossom a ways from you calmly, and you continue to eye him. No frustration is radiating from him as he had been before when you ran into him that other night. He just seems to be sitting peacefully and relaxed, and after a moment of looking at him you notice him turn his eyes towards yours.

Your eyes widen considerably and you turn around quickly to hide behind another cherry blossom to the left of you.

Sesshomaru's POV

'Its that onna again' you think to yourself averting your eyes to once again gaze around to the gardens that surround you. You had come out to relax, but this wench is keeping it from you

You sigh and stand up.

Your POV (again)

You check back around the side of the tree to see if he had looked away, and to your surprise you find him gone. 'I wonder where he-' start thinking to yourself as you turn around, but you run into someone in the process, Sesshomaru.

"What are you doing, onna?" Sesshomaru said in his normal monotone voice, as you took a step back away from him.

"Umm I'm playing with Rin, uhhh my lord" You said unsure as if you were obliged to call him lord, but you were staying at his castle so you thought it best to be polite.

He paused for a moment; it might have been because you had just called him lord or he was just thinking the situation over. You look up to him wonderingly, and you notice his eyes. They were beautiful amber that you had never seen before. Your eyes widen slightly surprised and your mouth opens a little.

His eyes narrow slightly by your stare and you jump slightly averting your eyes to the ground in front of you.

"You are to come with us when we leave later, human." He says finally after you looked away, "You are to keep and eye on Rin and make sure that she does not lose her way, is that suitable"

"Ohh umm," You say slightly taken aback, but then you look up at him, "Hai! Arigatou, my lord."

That night you lay down in your bed thinking. You stare up into the canopy or your bed and the warm silk blankets surround you cozily. The bright silver light of the moon shines in through the window to the right of your bed, shimmering atop your covers. 'I wonder why the lord takes so much displeasure in me...' you think to yourself sighing quietly, 'what have I done to get this feeling from him.'

The wind blows in through the window and a few fallen leaves sway in sliding to the floor. They land onto the ground with a crisp slide and you close your eyes loving the smell and sound that the wind brings to you, but just as you close your eyes the door opens. 'Its probably just-' you started, but you stop seeing Sesshomaru standing in your doorway.

"My Lord?" You say to him questioning him, as you sit up in the bed bringing the sheets up with you.

The wind blows again and his long silver hair seems to sway along with it. He doesn't answer you and walks up closer to you to stand by your bed. Looking down at you, you realize his eyes have a seemly different look to them the last time you had saw him. They seemed soft and almost

He kneels down by your bed that was still at ground level so that your faces were at the same height. The distance between your faces was small and you couldn't help but stop breathing as he did so.

"My Lord, what are you-" He stopped you with a finger to your lips and you go silent.

He takes his fingers from your lips for a moment and you see him look at you for a moment. His eyes seemed to engulf you and paralyze you for the moment being and you couldn't help just staring off into them. A hand came up to cup your chin to make sure that you facing him before the gap became nothing and your faces collided with a kiss. Surprised you took it. His eyes closed and you were able to think freely again, but soon his kisses took you over. He leaned forward pushing you lower on the bed and you try slightly to push him back, but he was to strong for you. You try to scream out, not wanting this, but he muffled you with his hand once his lips left yours.

"Be still," He said simply, and then

You wake up to find that your blankets are curled up by your feet and Rin shaking you. The forest that surrounds you is made up of mostly deciduous trees that are all shedding their leaves at this time, and you are lying on a single blanket in some grasses. Rin stops shaking your arm as you wake up and she sighs and smiles.

"Onee-san, you were shaking in your sleep. I thought that maybe you were having a bad dream." She says concerned but still smiling.

You smile back at her pleased to know that she cared for you. She was wearing her regular orange and white patterned yukata, which worried you to think that she might be cold. Come to think of it, you seemed to care greatly for Rin and for what ever she did, even if you had only been with her for two days. The bond between the two of you had grown greatly in the short time and it almost felt like it had been forever. You just couldn't help feeling like a mother to the girl.

Soon Rin fell down asleep next to you leaving you wide awake thinking about your dream. 'That for sure would never happen' you think to yourself thinking back, 'he is to,' you look over to where the lord was sitting leaned up against a tree seemly asleep, but that fact you doubted, 'he's to hating of humans, and anyways he hates me.' You think to yourself finalizing it inside your brain. 'Also, I don't want that it seems, wrong almost. I want to share a connection with a man before I can allow anything like that to happen between us,'

Sesshomaru's POV

Calm you lay with your eyes shut. The human shaking in the night had awoken you. She had looked distressed and a sad and surprised face painted smoothly onto her face as she tossed and turned in her blankets. Silently you wonder what images were running through her weak skull, but you just brush it aside closing your eyes. Rin then came over the woman. It seems that she was worried when she noticed her shaking.

You were confused to how Rin was taking such a liking to this human, but you couldn't do much but to keep her around for Rins sake. At least with this woman around you didn't have to trust Jaken with watching over her. It seemed Rin would spend all day with this human. You didn't want to waste time trying to find her so often.

Opening your eyes for another moment, keeping you calm face direct, you look over to the two. Rin had fallen asleep next to the girl, but she was still awake. You look to the girl to find her staring up into the stars peacefully relaxed, and deep in thought. Thinking nothing of it you close your eyes again, but not to sleep. Who knows if the human might think to run once again and make a break for it like the first night she had arrived.

Sniffing the air to take precautions you smell other scents mixed in with the air. Humans, you notice. 'No threat there...' you think to yourself.

Your POV

Looking up into the sky at the full moon and its foreign blanket of stars you realize its beauty. Just lying there out with the lovely sound of fall and the crisp smell of the dry leaves. You look down to Rin and you smile. Some how you feel she has saved you, and you should feel grateful to the small girl lying down next to you. You wipe the hair out from in front of the young girls face and you return your gaze to the stars above. 'This is perfect, maybe, just maybe it can stay like this, and I can stay here with Rin till the day I die,' you think to yourself, but you look over to Sesshomaru, 'but only if he will let me'

Later you feel nature calling. You look to Sesshomaru nervously wondering if he would say any thing. Sitting up you let Rin down softly so you would not disturb her as she slept. A slight breeze came in as you stood up and you hugged yourself silently trying to warm up, and walking past Sesshomaru as he supposedly slept you creep into the forest. You walk deep into the forest afraid of suspicions you had of lord Sesshomaru like super sonic hearing or something of the sort, for sure you didn't want him hearing your 'go'. So you went deeper into the forest than expected and did your business. Though on your way back you get lost. (Wow extremely original of me right?)

Rounding a corner you hear some voices, men, and peaking around a tree you see a large group of bandits eating a large feast and drinking fully. They all laughed loudly as their leader or who ever it was stood before them making some sort of speech to the lot of them. Noticing this could mean trouble for you, you turn around to try a different way back to camp, but guess what, yes, you run head on into someone. A rather large bandit who was probably scouting the area was heading back into camp when you ran into him, or more his big protruding belly knocking you backwards.

"Hey, Aki, guess what I found?" The man says picking you up by your hair, owww!!!

"Argh what Shige!" The leader said aggregately stopping in the middle of his humorous speech.

"A young bitch looking for some company!" The fat man said loudly attracting attention from the rest of the men and a few laughs.

Angry by him having the nerve to call you that you get to your feet straining your scalp due to his hold on your hair and try your best to hit him, but all he does is through you roughly to the ground. On the way down your head hits a jagged rock scraping your cheek and drawing blood. You bit your cheek from the pain as you feel another man pick you up, this time by your arm. Desperate you try to push him away so you could run from this place, but it seems futile as the man just pulls you close.

"Seems you've chosen the wrong place at the wrong time little woman," a husky voice enters your ear and a warm breath brushes it softly.

You recognize it as the leaders and you try to struggle out of his grasp, which still gains you nothing.

"Let. Me. GO!" you say forcefully, but you know you are helpless.

Only if Sesshomaru could hear your pleas this time, maybe you would be saved.

"Oooo pushy are we; I just want to share a little something with you." He smirks into your ear and you're knocked out suddenly with a hit to the gut.

Hours later

You awake in pain radiating from your lower abdomen. Groaning from the pain you sit up to find that the only cover you have is a single blanket that was laid on top of you unceremoniously and you are naked. 'Ohh just great, just great!' you think to yourself realizing that they stole your virginity. While you were asleep. 'Would you count it as my virginity? I mean I wasn't even conscious for it.' You think wondering, 'wait what am I thinking! These guys raped me!!!'

Then slowly you feel a cool eerie sensation drape down over your head feeling almost like silk. You turn around to see what it was to find nothing, but then when you look down you find nothing either, nothing at all. You scream to find that you are totally in visible. Covering your mouth you realize that everyone in the whole camp must have heard you and their going to come see what happened, and well that doesn't matter much does it?

A Bandit rushes in to the tent that you were in to find no one there. He shouts with loss and anger. He tells that other men that they are gone and start mocking the leader and his loss.
