Chapter 4: Missed Encounter

"Rin-sama.." Kasayla said walking beside her. They had left the meadows and were going to a village close by. Rin had been quiet since then.

She turned to her friend. "Yes?"

"Is anything wrong?"

"..." She stopped walking.

The green eyed wolf stopped in front of her and cocked her head to the side looking up.

Rin gave a small smile. "Nothing...nothing is wrong."

The wolf tail gave an annoyed twitch. "Fine..."

Both continued walking in silence. The sun was close to setting.

Kasayla broke that silence. "Say...Let's stop by the village instead of avoid it..I'm sure the children will be happy to see you."

Rin sighed. "Why must you always insist me in doing these things?"

"Why? Oh come on!" The wolf said. "It's your true nature! You're not that cold-heart ya know?"

Rin's eyebrow rose. "Oh I'm cold hearted am I?"

Kasayla rolled her eyes. "Well at least to demons..."

Rin kneeled down to equal Kasayla's height. "Well now; am I that cold hearted?"

Kasayla turned her head to the side and stared at her with her visible eye. "Psh. Not the 'I'll kill anyone in my way' cold heart. Just the 'You are so low attacking those who are weaker then you' cold heart to demons."

"Oh really?"

'Least you have a heart', Kasayla snorted and got on all fours.

Rin stood up. "Least I have a heart."

The wolf's tail twiched irretiblely. 'This is going nowhere.'

"This is going nowhere." Rin said.

Kasayla was getting impatient and annoyed.

"Quit stalling and let's go to the village already. I'm hungry after that bothersome fight." Kasayla said controlling her temper which was dangerously going to be released.

Rin sighed. "Whatever, whatever. Least we don't have to camp out."

Kasayla's nose twitched this time. "LET'S. JUST. GO."

"Geeze. Control that temper, control that temper."

"SHUT UP WOULD YOU?"

"Whatever. Can we go now?"

"I'm the one waiting for you."

"Whatever."

"Don't 'whatever' me."

"Fine...Touchy."

She was given a glare.

Rin sighed again and stood up dusting herself off. "Fine, fine. Let's go then."

She walked off. Kasayla following at her heels.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Called the ugly green toad. He was holding his Staff of Two Heads. Shouting as he lead the two-headed dragon, Ah-Un,with the harness around it's muzzle.

Jaken muttered something unheard. "Lord Sesshomaru!"

Ah-Un followed the toad quite slowly quite annoyed by the green toad's shouting and screeching "Lord Sesshomaru!".

"Oh Lord Sesshomaru left again...and left me! his loyal servant again!" Jaken sighed and sat down on a tree branch.

The two headed dragon seemed satisfied now that Jaken wasn't shouting and screeching for their lord.

Jaken sighed feeling sorry for himself and waited until his lord returned from his patrols.

----------

Sesshomaru was patrolling his lands making sure tresspassers from the other lands didn't enter his territory.

He was lost in thought thinking about the aura a while ago. He simply pushed it away out of his mind. He can find out later anyways. Right now he had to patrol his lands to keep it safe and away from the other greedy lords' who want to take it away from him.

----------

Rin and Kasayla had arrived in the small village. They were greeted by children's joyful cries.

"Lady Rin's back!"

"Lady Rin!"

"Lady Rin! Did you come back forever?"

Rin smiled sweetly. "I'm sorry...but I can't stay forever..."

"Awww..." They cried.

Kasayla on the other hand was being hugged and petted by the other children who'd noticed her.

"Yay! Kasayla come play with us?"

"Sorry..No."

A two year old pulled her tail.

"OW! Don't pull it!"

"But I came here to rest and if you be good I'll finish where I left off about the herbs and---"

She was interrupted by giddly cries from the children.

"Vou vust vove to vannoy ve...von't vou?" Kasayla managed. Translation: "You just love to annoy me...don't you?" She was being tackled and poked by the children. Not to mention some were pulling on her tail and ears. She certainly couldn't scare them. Which she'd gladly do right now.

Rin looked up innocently. "What ever do you mean?"

"Vator." She said and managed away for a second and repeated. "Traitor."

Poor Kasayla. The wolf was tackled again.

"Oof!"

"Yay! Kasayla give me ride!"

"No me!"

"No I want to!"

"Me first!"

"No me!"

"I wanna go!"

The children argued as the wolf was being crushed by them all.

Rin managed back a laugh.

Oh how Kasayla wanted to scare them right now...

"Children.." Rin said with a sweet smile. "Kasayla shall play with you tomorrow okay? She's hungry right now."

"Awww..." They choursed, disappointed but stopped and got off the wolf who was now satisfied.

"Now children. Go back to your family okay? They might be worried. It's time to go to and eat isn't it?"

"Okay Lady Rin!" They cried and all ran back to their families giggling happily with smiles on their faces.

Kasayla stretched her now free and uncrushed body. "Muuuuuch better."

Rin sighed. "You were going to blow weren't you?"

Kasayla yawned and stood up on all fours. "Oh good. You could tell."

Rin rolled her eyes. "Hm...You had that 'I'm going to scare these brats' look."

"Well good timing." Was her answer.

Rin sighed. "Let's go, let's go."

"Whatever..."

"Now you're saying my line?"

"Oh is that your line? Well sorry!"

Rin sighed. "Yeah, yeah."

Kasayla had huffed and walked ahead. Rin followed. Before she did, she swore she felt a demonic aura somewhere nearby. It was quite powerful...Yet she excused it and followed the annoyed wolf.

-----------

Sesshomaru was at the meadow. He could tell that there was a battle, yet it seemed like a quick and easy one from the scent of it. Three strong aura's were here before about a half hour or so.

'Strange...'

The scents smelled female. He had a small frown upon his features but then walked away from the place. He swore he'd seen a female and a wolf a while split second after he arrived. The girl seemed normal yet her aura was another matter. It was powerful and seemed to sweep out of her like something leaking yet nothing happened. It was under her control it seemed. Then again it was probley a trick of the light.

'Just a human girl walking with her dog.'

Right?
