"Rin! Rin! Stop running so fast you fool!" Jaken hobbled to keep up with the young maiden.
Rin's smile matched the sun as she ran in a grassy field following a blue butterfly. It was as though she were flying. She was free, and every breath she took was life renewed. Her laughter seemed to resound for miles.
As Rin made it to a clearing, the butterfly landed on a branch of shrubbery. She bent down to look at its shiny scales closer. Abruptly, a thick liquid dropped on it. She stopped.
SSsss~
The butterfly started to decompose right before her eyes. Rin frigidly looked up to see a monstrous demon centipede above her.
"EEEEEEEEKKK!"
Baring its razor fangs it spat out poisonous acid which she barely managed to escape. She shuddered as the acid started to disintegrate her surroundings.
"Rin!" Jaken screamed frantically from behind.
Rin tried to run to Jakin but could feel its oncoming advance.
"Jaken!" She cried terror stricken.
Its shadow covered her now as she sprinted. With blurred eyes and a gagged throat, Rin internally cried for Lord Sesshomaru.
CRUNCH!
Sesshomaru had plunged his sword into the demon's skull not satisfied until the whole body was sliced to pieces by the aftershock of his power. His face was ominous as he pulled out the blade slowly from its corps.
Rin had stumbled and fallen by the impact of it all. She was so relieved to see Sesshomaru she could almost burst into tears. Jaken had caught up to her now which she shakily reassured the panicked imp she was alright.
Sesshomaru silently walked over to them. Anger was still in his eyes which Jaken profusely attempted to say how he told her to slow down and that he was going to protect her and-
Sesshomaru didn't hear another word as he knelt to Rin and hugged her gingerly. Her shriek still rang in his ears, and he was sweating from the dash to get to her in time. He pressed his face into her neck and whispered
"You are not hurt Rin?"
He had been so... so worried.
