Chapter Three
Sesshomaru was flying back to his charge after successfully eliminating the threat in the area. He had picked up the scent of his idiot Hanyou brother some time ago, but decided that making sure Jaken didn't screw up again was higher on his priority list. He was still thinking intently about the strange Youkai he met earlier. Considering the Hanyou's love of humans, it was strange that he was with another Youkai. The demon girl didn't even flinch or show fear when he approached her, either. It annoyed him.
For the rest of the flight, all the Daiyoukai could think about was how her deep eyes stared back into his, unwavering. How she didn't show she was defying him, but how she wasn't weak. Almost as if she saw her as his equal. The Inu growled quietly, he would have to make sure to put that woman in her place.
Haeun sat, patting the back of the small child as she coughed violently once she sat up. She was lucky that she hadn't eaten more than three berries, as the poison in them was still too weak to make her throw up. However, that didn't make them any less deadly. The Kappa looked visibly relieved that the girl was well. Haeun started wondering why the Daiyoukai was travelling with a Kappa and a Human child. Patting the weak child's back like this reminded Haeun of her own childhood.
"Eomma, why can't I play with the other children?" Haeun asked, being tucked into her bed by her mother, despite it being midday.
"HaEun, you know you have a weak body. You will get sick easily, and maybe get hurt." Her mother replied, feeling the child's forehead.
"Will I ever get to see GyuRi or SooYan again?" She asked, talking about her two school friends. She teared up at the thought of not being able to attend school again. Her Mother had decided that there was too much risk of illness, and said that her daughter would be homeschooled.
"Of course you will, they can come around and visit." The older woman replied.
Haeun suddenly sat up, coughing as if she was going to cough up a lung. Her mother patted her back, and handed the girl a glass of water.
"Woman."
Haeun snapped out of her memories, realising that she was tearing up and still rubbing the child's back. She looked up, recognising the face of the Daiyoukai she had a staring contest with earlier. She stood up, brushing herself off and giving a small bow as she was taught.
"Why are you here?" The Daiyoukai asked, his eyes narrowing, looking like they were searching for her soul.
"The girl.. po..poi..poison." She stammered out, pointing to the drying pools of blood and foam the child had coughed up.
"Rin was hungry, and Jaken-sama told her to get food!" The child said. The Kappa paled as the Inu turned to him, looking like all of hell was about to rise. While the man was interested in the imp, the young girl turned and looked at the Korean. "Who are you?" She asked, tilting her head to the side slightly.
"My.. na..name.. Haeun." Said foreign girl replied, hoping she didn't screw up her Japanese.
"Kaze no Kizu!"
Haeun recognised that familiar voice, and hugged the small child close to her chest as she felt a strong attack coming..
Except it never came.
Looking around, a light pink dome seemed to cover the clearing, that dissipated soon after. The Hanyou ran into the clearing, about to attack the other Inu.
"Osuwari."
Inuyasha pummeled into the floor, groaning loudly.
"Inuyasha! You could've hit Haeun or Rin!" Kagome cried out, standing above the floored Hanyou. Just as he started climbing out..
"Osuwari."
Back down he goes.
"Osuwari."
"Haeun, don't you think-"
"Osuwari."
"Kagome! Make the wench stop!"
"Osuwari."
He got up..
"Osuwari."
Just to be shot back down again. Now there was a permanent Inuyasha-shaped hole in the floor. The Daiyoukai seemed to watch with slight amusement, watching this stranger have such power over the foolish Hanyou. The noise even woke a sleeping A-Un, who had been oblivious to all of the previous drama.
"Kagome-san, did you come to take Haeun-san back?" Rin asked the Miko, who nervously looked back at Inuyasha, who was muttering profanities about the Youkai under his breath.
"Rin-chan, I think it's best if Haeun stays with you for a while, do you think you can look after her?" Kagome asked, and the child nodded her head eagerly. "Good, we'll be back in a week to pick her up. Inuyasha! We're leaving!"
The Miko walked off, the Hanyou trailing behind her. Just as he was about to go out of sight, a certain fox-eared girl mumbled..
"Osuwari."

Author's Note:
A rather short chapter to give some more insight into Haeun's past, and an excuse to leave her with Sesshomaru for a week! A lot of 'the word' in this chapter, Haeun's true personality is starting to show a little bit. I wonder if you guys can guess what it is..? Also a quick peek at some of Haeun's ability! I can assure you that we will see our loveable Haeun grow and develop over the next 10 chapters or so. I don't want to seem the story seem too rushed, so let me know what you think of the pace! I also have a habit of typing Haeun's name as Hanae...
