Using the distance she held from the camp to her advantage, she decided to follow the demon lord from a distance, of course she would have to keep a considerable gap between herself and him, and this could mean she would lose track of his steps, rendering her efforts completely useless. Rin's cleverness at that point, could only be surpassed by her slyness and as a result, she covered herself entirely with mud and leaves. For the girl's great fortune, that particular part of the forest was abundant in a specific flower which emanated a rather strong and peculiar smell, a scent that had taken over the atmosphere around them entirely, so camouflaging her own odor with this plant seemed more than obvious. Even though she felt pretty confident about her cloak, maintaining a glimpsing gap between herself and her target was imperative and advisable.

The pursuit had commenced and straight away she had noticed Sesshoumaru's walking seemed disturbed, anyone could tell that much even at the considerable distance Rin had kept from him, and that led her to further distress and nervousness. Her veiling technique was leaving her at doubts, nevertheless, she kept on, risking everything she had built so far in order to fulfill her commanding boundless curiosity. The fact being, it wasn't Rin's distant presence that disturbed the demon lord's path, in reality it was the thrill of the upcoming battle. The little mud and vegetation covered girl couldn't but to wonder what sort of beast, what sort of demon, what kind of opponent was the great lord of the West going to face, a fighter well known for his power and freezing cold blood in battle. What was about to come had to be immense, it had to be spectacular, beyond the fields of a common human's imagination, and for that reason, while being fed by overwhelming curiosity, she stopped wondering and directed her brain power, in full, in silently stalking the demon lord.
