Yay! People like my story ^-^ That must mean that I can write well enough haha. Well enough of my rambling, on with the story!
Disclaimer: you already know the drill blah blah do not own blah blah blah...
Sesshomaru lands in the middle of the field where Rin was. He inhales deeply smelling Rin, flowers, and a hint of another demon. He growls at the unknown scent and breaths in the smells of Rin's tattered kimono and Sesshomaru can barely smell the demon. He growls again and tries to figure out where his ward could be. Sesshomaru grasps the kimono tighter and takes off in the direction that the unknown demon's scent is headed. Jaken barely emerges from the bushes.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Where are you going?" Jaken cries out while panting. He sputters and collapses on the ground from fatigue.
It's cold, damp, and hard when Rin wakes up. Flowers shouldn't be hard... She tries to sit up after remembering what happened and groans in pain. The groan sounds weird, and then Rin realizes that she has a gag in her mouth, and she's tied up. Rin starts to struggle against the ropes.
"So, you're finally awake." A voice calls out to Rin. Rin turns her head to look at the person talking to her and she narrows her eyes in distaste. The person laughs and gets closer to Rin until she could clearly see who it was. Red eyes shone in the darkness of the cave.
"Now, to kill you." The person bends down to Rin and pulls her hair. Rin tries to cry out, but it is greatly muffled by the gag. Rin closes her eyes and tries to block out the pain.
Sesshomaru had been following the scent trail until nightfall when he came to a damaged area in the forest. It smelled strongly of Rin, but also metallic smelling. Rin's blood was dripped everywhere, in some places there was even puddles. Sesshomaru's eyes leaked red, until the sound of bushes rustling caught his attention. Sesshomaru growls deeply and stalks toward the area. He starts to draw his sword, but then a feminine groan is heard and Kagura sits up.
Kagura's hair is messy, her kimono wrinkled and slashed, and she was bleeding in some slashes. Kagura looks alarmed and she leaps up once she sees Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru! It's terrible!" Kagura cries out, "Rin, she was being taken by some demon, and she was killed!" Kagura's eyes started to tear up. "I tried, I really did, but I couldn't save her." She holds out her hand to Sesshomaru and it's filled with blood matted hair. Sesshomaru takes the hair, and he can already tell that it is Rin's. "I tried grabbing her, but the demon was too fast for me. I could only grab her hair, but the demon cut it off and devoured her."
Sesshomaru couldn't believe that his human was dead. Despite all the evidence, Sesshomaru was in denial. How could she have died on me like that? Wait... how did I not smell Kagura earlier. Sesshomaru sniffs the air and smells Kagura almost all over the place. Damn, I was so focused on Rin, that I couldn't see what was obviously there.
"What did this demon look like?" Sesshomaru asks Kagura, not even looking at her. Kagura's face turns from sorrow, to confusion, to rage in only a few seconds.
"She's dead! There is nothing you can do now! She was just some human, she's not worth your revenge!" Kagura screams at Sesshomaru and leaps up to stand near him. Sesshomaru is a blur as he turned and a loud slap is hear in the forest. Flocks of birds flee from the noise and Kagura is on the ground again, holding her red cheek.
"Do not speak of my ward that way, wench. Now tell me, what does the demon look like?" Sesshomaru was growling by the end of his sentence. Kagura was cowering on the ground and she shakily clears her throat.
"It was an ox demon, with four arms. He was huge, I can't explain him any clearer than that. He was headed north the last I saw of him." Kagura replied still shaking on the ground.
Sesshomaru turns his back on the wind sorceress and runs off in the direction that she had given him. "You won't find him! If he doesn't want to be found, then he won't!" Kagura yells after his retreating back.
A few days later Sesshomaru is standing on a tree limb over looking most of his land. Where is that foul beast? Sesshomaru hadn't stopped searching for it since he had left Kagura. The winds had changed slightly and Sesshomaru mentally sighed, speak of the devil and the devil shall appear.
"You won't find him." Kagura repeats floating on her feather. Sesshomaru didn't move or acknowledge that she was there. "How insufferable can you get? She won't come back, she's never coming back!" Kagura rants and moves to float in front of Sesshomaru. "Give her up, I'm never letting her out and since that demon has that barrier up, you don't have a snowballs chance in hell to find it!" A moment of silence passed and Kagura realized her mistake.
"You," Sesshomaru growls and Kagura tries to fly away. Sesshomaru reaches out and yanks the woman off her feather by her hair. She's screeches as she is suspended in the air by only her hair. Sesshomaru uses his other hand, glowing green, and stabs her in the throat. Kagura sputters for a few seconds and a blood bubble comes from her mouth. It pops and Sesshomaru's face is lightly splattered with her blood. He pulls his hand back out, and drops her to the ground.
Sesshomaru waits until he hears the sound of her body hitting the ground before he jumps down after her. Her body is mangled and awkwardly positioned by the landing. Sesshomaru unsheathes Tenseiga and kills the demons from the underworld. Kagura's body slowly goes back to normal and she sits up gasping for air. He puts Tenseiga back and picks her up by her outer kimono.
"You will show this Sesshomaru where that cave is." He throws her to the ground, "You have been brought back once, it will not happen again. Now lead the way, wench." Sesshomaru threatens Kagura and she complies from fright.
"It's not far from here," She whispers and scurries toward the cave. That bastard killed me; he definitely won't hesitate to do it again.
Another chapter up! I'm going to be nice and try to post the next one super soon. Maybe even today, hopefully I can ^-^ ~xxCeroxx
