Hi everyone! Before I start, I'm just going to change Reina's features a bit. Instead of black hair, I want her to have light brown hair because I think it would suit her character more. That's it lol.
"Should we rest and touch up on your wound?" Reina nodded at Sesshomaru's missing arm and the infected area. The man looked back at her before ignoring her suggestion and proceeded forwards. Reina refrained a pout as she sighed deeply. The attitude that Sesshomaru's pride produced certainly wasn't friendly and it hadn't made Reina's communication any easier.
"If you want to die, then please stay and rest." Jaken scoffed as he waddled after his master. Reina arched an eyebrow at the imp's comment and turned back. She inhaled sharply as she noticed a cloud of demons heading after them. The girl took a step back before running after the white haired demon and began to panic. Pointing at the swarm of demons behind them she stuttered:
"S-Sesshomaru! Not again!" She tripped and bit her tongue as she looked at their pursuers in horror. Sesshomaru blinked before also turning his head. Reina swore that she could hear a small curse of irritation escape the male's lips. He stopped running and flexed his only claw. Reina looked at him with dizzy eyes and asked:
"What? Are we going to fight them?" She asked, clenching her fists despite the evident fact that it won't do anything. Sesshomaru ignored her and leapt forward, clawing at each monster before they extinguished into the air and reduced to nothing but ashes. Reina pinched her nose as the smell of blood and infection spread through the air and watched the demon who was supposedly on her side, shake off the blood.
"If you dislike the scent of the battlefield that much, go home." Sesshomaru walked past her and headed up the mountain, with a clear objective in his eyes. Reina resisted the urge to imitate him and followed him. She looked around her before peering at the top of the mountain to notice that it was slowly becoming more barren and gloomy.
"Lord Sesshomaru...where are we going?" Reina asked, as she felt a small chill slither down her back before feeling hotter and hotter, until the shoes of hers began to sizzle. They went up to an area where they were near, if not on the top of the mountain and it seemed like someone lives here. A cave with an opening,shaped as if you were to enter a large creature's mouth, was visible. Sesshomaru ordered the girl to stay on the side, where there wasn't any contact with the solid floor that barely covered the magma underneath. Jaken headed off first as Sesshomaru waited behind for Jaken to bring back the sword. "A cave…?" Reina questioned as she looked around before glancing up at the tall male in curiosity. His eyes narrowed as he walked up to Jaken who came running out. The imp looked terrified as he saw his master, then bowing down to Sesshomaru. "My apologies but he's not here."
"Hmm…" Sesshomaru stared at the abandoned cave before the imp continued. "How can I put it...he doesn't like you." Reina muffled a snort while Sesshomaru himself smiled. Jaken glanced up then at Reina, telling her to stop laughing but she could not help it and thought it was okay if the great demon himself found it amusing. "What?" The imp ran up to her and murmured: "It's even more terrifying that he smiles."
"But smiling is proven to be- never mind that. What was he looking for?" She whispered. The imp titled her way and responded: "Tōtōsai, the one who forged Lord Sesshomaru's brother's powerful sword." Reina pursed her lips, trying to imagine a younger version of Sesshomaru and only ended up with the imagery of two Sesshomaru pricks. She then looked back at the imp and asked: "If he already has a sword, why does he need another one?"
The imp opened his mouth before shrugging. He genuinely didn't know the answer but he won't admit it. "Ask Sesshomaru if you truly want to know."
"Why-" Reina was cut off as Sesshomaru walked up towards her. "Get on." He ordered her, causing the light haired girl to look at him in confusion. "Pardon?" Sesshomaru pointed at a scaly like creature that had a saddle on its back. She walked over at patted its neck. "Hello, what is your name?"
"He doesn't have one." Sesshomaru watched Reina give him a look of disbelief before asking, how long the creature was stuck with him. "Centuries that are uncountable." He sighed as Reina began to weep tears of pity as she also mounted the creature. The beast even kneeled down to help the girl get on with ease and then got up. It too, also shedded tears for its own sake. Sesshomaru also got onto the beast, behind Reina and held onto the reins. "If you can't even hold on tight to the creature, I'm bringing you back to your home." Reina grasped onto the creatures neck for dear life while Sesshomaru had a small smirk on his face before gaining his regular, stoic expression. As the flew into the air, Reina kept weeping tears of pity, stroking the mane of the creature.
"You poor thing. You've been so loyal but he never even gave you and identity?" The creature snorted in agreement.
"He's so stingy right?" Another snort responded.
"He's so cold and cruel right?" Another snort happened.
"Reina." The sudden use of her name straightened the girl up and turned to be greeted by Sesshomaru's ice cold eyes. It seemed to murmur "shut the fuck up before I throw you off" and Reina pouted. "Sorry…" The group continued to fly until specks of people are seen and they seemed to be drawing closer, or at least Reina's company was flying closer to them.
"Oh! One of them kind of looks like you." Reina blinked, oblivious to Sesshomaru's annoyance and Jaken's prayer for the girl to have a peaceful afterlife. Fortunately, Reina was not thrown overboard and Sesshomaru decided to go after his one and only target: Tōtōsai.
"Inuyasha...why do you plot with Tōtōsai?" The demon asked, with a displeased look on his face. Reina looked back at Jaken with a confused look but the imp mouthed "I'll tell you later." The group below were just as confused to see the demon with extra company...especially with one that seems to be like a human girl.
"Why is a human girl with him?" Kagome asked in confusion as Reina mirrored the same look of confusion as Kagome's group. Reina seemed harmless, which she is, but why on earth would she be with the demon.
"Isn't it obvious? To punish you!" The old man trembled behind Inuyasha. The great demon behind Reina emitted an intimidating and amused aura as he commented: "I see you're running headfirst towards death, Tōtōsai"
Immediately the old man hid behind the so called Inuyasha and Reina arched her eyebrows. "I hope I don't look as cowardly and hide pathetically behind your back." "No but you do like to rush your death, idiotically." The demon responded.
Tōtōsai began to stammer and responded: "Well, after you beat Inuyasha, maybe I'll make you a new sword.." Reina watched as the other people on the ground began to yell at the old man for saying something completely opposite of what he said before.
"Tōtōsai...do not forget what you said. You heard him right, Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru got off and flexed his claws. The creature immediately flew down, near the old man and Inuyasha's group.
"What are they doing?" Reina watched as Sesshomaru engaged in the largest fight Reina has ever seen. She then thought about the cause and marched up the old man, nodding politely at the others who didn't seem to impose any harm to her yet. The others returned the gesture, but at the same time, also looking confused.
"It's a pleasant day, is it not?" The girl smiled brightly and the others nodded, in slight daze. Miroku was the first to step out of it as he grasped the girl's hand and murmured: "Would you like to bear my children?"
"Nope!" Reina answered immediately. Miroku sighed then asked: "What's your name, pretty lady? I'm Miroku, this is Sango, that's Kagome and this is Shippō."
"I'm Reina and it seems as if you already knew my companions?" Reina glanced back at Sesshomaru who lunged forwards and broke the ground. She then looked back to see Miroku staring at her thoughtfully.
"Do you happen to leave on a mountain? With foxes and a barrier?" Miroku asked. It seemed like an odd question, but if you have seen Reina once and heard of her name, it was a completely normal question. Reina blinked and looked at the monk up and down before responding: "Cracked hole?"
"...Healer?"
"...Fox Deities?"
Miroku grinned and immediately grasped her hand in enthusiasm. "If it isn't the Guardian! What are you doing out in the dangerous world with a...person like him?" Miroku glanced at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha before releasing her hand. Reina sighed and replied: "He's both my patient and guardian."
The group looked even more baffled at the idea of Sesshomaru protecting what he hated most: a human. Reina shook her head as she squeezed past the monk to reach the old man. "Can't you just make Sesshomaru a sword so he can stop doing this?" Reina pointed at the brawling brothers and the old man merely whistled. The girl turned back in frustration and asked: "What is the relationship between those two?"
"Spiteful brothers." Reina pressed her lips as she took in the information. Then She grabbed the old man by the shoulders and shook him back and forth. "What are you doing, instigating a fight between two siblings! Just give Sesshomaru what he wants so they stop- Oh my goodness what are you doing, Sesshomaru?!" Reina began to talk faster and in panic as she watched her companion beat his brother.
"No good...Hey Myōga did Inuyasha truly master Tetsusaiga?"
Sesshomaru watched his younger brother fall to the ground, barely looking at Reina then at the old man beside her. As Sesshomaru began to talk about Inuyasha's uselessness in using the sword to fight, Reina rushed next to Inuyasha and checked for any major injuries. She was about to reach out when she was greeted by both Sesshomaru's and Inuyasha's disapproving comments.
"Reina. Don't needlessly interfere with this. Play your healer role when it's appropriate." Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist, before she could reach out to Inuyasha.
"Don't look down on me." Inuyasha sat up, with a struggling effort. Reina looked at them both as Sesshomaru jerked her upwards, ordering her to stay behind him.
"I prioritize my abilities to help and heal over your orders, Sesshomaru. Even if it means sullying one's pride." Reina bit her lip as she rubbed her wrist. The man looked down at her and huffed as he looked at Tōtōsai, demanding for a better sword. The old man merely responded with the sword on Sesshomaru was a gift from his father, just as it is of Tetsusaiga. Reina felt Sesshomaru's temper immediately rise and she watched the old man strike his hammer down. To her surprise, the demon picked her up and flew into the air before landing on safe ground, where it wasn't covered with lava.
"They've escaped." Sesshomaru commented, a hint of annoyance was heard from his voice. The group turned away and began to walk, with no clear goal for Reina. She quietly walked behind Sesshomaru, listening to him explain about Tenseiga. She gasped as he lifted his sword to strike Jaken, but only to see the imp was not hurt at all. She then realized at the frustration Sesshomaru had and the reason why he needed a new and powerful sword. For a prideful person like him, having a useless sword compared to his younger brother's powerful one puts a dent in his pride. And perhaps, hurt that his father may favour the younger sibling.
Before she can comment anything, a sea serpent came out of a lagoon and Reina backed off, along with Jaken. The serpent slashed his tail onto the ground and the ground shattered. Sesshomaru leapt up, swiftly avoiding the attack, and he flexed his claw, cutting the serpent up first in an "X" shape before cleanly slicing him down in the middle. He walked into the water and bent down, ripping the claw off of the beast.
"Reina." He turned around and held the claw out to her. The girl opened then closed her mouth and then opened it once more. She reached out and took it, hands trembling. "You don't...you-"
"Attach it." He dropped the arm in her hands and the girl gave him a look, suggesting he should reconsider. However, the man ignored it and Reina sighed. She examined the arm before pulling out her kit and taking out a dissecting knife. She then motioned for the demon to lift his sleeve which he did and sliced a small "x". He did the same with the serpent's arm and then used her hand, to draw out small lines that looked like thread from Sesshomaru's wound and attached them to the serpent. She then pulled out a needle and actual thread, attaching it around the outside of the arm.
"Why don't you use your power to do the entire process?" Sesshomaru asked Reina, who was cleaning off the needle and the knife. The girl looked up and grinned. "I don't like relying on it too much. I mean if I suddenly am not able to use my powers anymore, something that is my identity, I wouldn't be able to do anything else, right?"
"...Foolish healer." Sesshomaru responded with a slightly less annoyed voice. He then flexed his new arm and narrowed his eyes. "Time to find Inuyasha." Reina rubbed her temples as she saw this coming and muttered: "Of course you're going to find him again. At least leave him well enough to recuperate."
