Chapter six: Her guardian
The group said goodbye to the villagers after the monk leaded the kids back the village on the last two nights and stayed for a night because of the storm. They took a break at the small stream and have lunch.
"Don't you eat, Rin?"
"No, Mirouku-sama. Rin isn't hungry."
All of the sudden, a rat demon from somewhere and held a little human girl in its mouth before rushed to the group. It looks like it tried to escape from someone that follow it.
"Stop!" the school girl stood on its way and set her arrow. "Let her go"
But the rat swept its tail to the girl but a demon Rin dugs her claws in the rat's back and pull its' spine out.
"Rin"
Everyone was shocked in her habit but the little girl ignored their attention toward her. She held the human child up to see her face.
"Lord Sesshoumaru"
After her word, the two brothers attacked the lord but she dodged back to a large rock in the stream.
"Ah-Un"
'Rin?' A jewel group saw the two heads danced to the little girl who in his master body.
Kagome sent the little lord a grilled meat and a cup water . He is upset when he must eat the human food especially the food from his half-brother group and this human girl.
"Do you want more, Lord Sesshoumaru?"
He received a meat from the girl and ate in silent.
'They looked after my ward as well.' The little girl name Sesshoumaru looked at the women and changed to his half-brother.
"What do you want, bastard?"
"Shut up, half-breed"
"You!"
"Inuyasha"
"Okay" The dog boy sat on a rock near Shippo.
Ah-Un talked and Rin walked to a stream to have a chat and went back to the camp before the lord leaded them to the wood.
"Where are you going, Lord Sesshoumaru?"
"Back to the west"
"Good luck and see you again Rin-chan."
"Bye-bye Sanko nee-chan, Kagome nee-chan"
"Come to play with me when you switched back to your body, Rin."
"Mm, bye Shippo"
The jewel group left the forest when the lord took his pack back and headed to the west to find the way to switch back. Several days later at small creek near a village, the kids fished a toad and took him to their mother to cook him for their dinner. But the toad fought for his life and escaped from the hell hut to find his lodr and the little girl on the same day when Kirara saw Shippo swam in the creek and found the two head staff before take it to the group.
"I thought Jaken might be around here."
"But why he is here when Lord Sesshoumaru headed back the west?"
"Mmm"
"He might get lost alike Rin."
Nobody talked about this topic but kept the staff with them and moved to a village.
Jaken smelled their old scents on the last three days. He asked a cow in the village knew that they are a normal group. The cow said that she did not see a demon lord in the group so the toad left the village to the western land.
A day later, the two head dragon flew crossed the sky toward the jewel group.
"What happened, Ah-Un?"
"Eh? Rin!" Kagome and Mirouku rushed to the demon lord on the dragon back and laid him on the ground next to the little human girl.
Rin woke up and received a bottle of water from Sango while a school girl put a new damp cloth on Sesshoumaru's forehead.
"Thank you"
"What happened, Rin?"
"We were attacked by that abbot but he has Naraku's weapon."
"Does he know you had switched the body with him?"
"No, Kagome nee-chan and her lord wanted to switch back before Naraku knows."
The group reached to a deserted hut on the field. Kagome laid the little girl in her sleeping bag and has a dinner. Rin came back with the brother and left it at the store house beside the hut.
"Is he a Naraku's nominee?"
"I'm think he isn't but he just borrows his weapon or any magic from him to take the shard from Rin."
"Thanks for her luck that the abbot didn't know the fact."
"We think you should travel with us for a while and hurry to find the way to switch back."
"Yes, Rin will try."
The school girl laid beside the demon lord all the night while Inuyasha keep an eye on them and Rin. He was sure that his half brother will not wake up soon. So he sat against the wooden cold wall and felt asleep when the rain falls.
The red eyes snapped open to check the little girl Sesshoumaru and found out that her body is going to cold. He zipped down to enlarge the sleeping bag and put the older girl to lie beside his master before stands on guard all the night.
'Hn? Why the miko is soft and fragrant?' The little girl demon lord glanced at a young woman who held him close to her chest. The lord unbuttoned her shirt and buried his head into the soft breasts to feel her warmth.
Inuyasha is boiling since the morning when he saw his half brother laid beside his friend in the same sleeping bag. But nobody can tell that what happened on last night. They confirmed that they saw the girl laid beside him on the outside of the bag. Suddenly the abbot from Mino appeared with Naraku's tentacles and Sai-Myosho.
"Give me your shard, half-breed"
"No" Inuyasha drew his sword and cut the evil abbot but he was hit by a tentacle.
"Crouch!" Then the purify arrow cut his two tentacles and hit some of Sai-myosho.
"Watch out!"
Rin the demon lord sliced a tentacle that came from behind. The little girl removed the dragon muzzles and let they burned the insects while Shippo kill some of them by his fox fire.
Sesshoumaru was caught by the abbot before escape the group into the forest. Inuyasha just sniffed the wind but Rin rushed through the wood to the abbot and her lord. The tall frame looked at the old abbot who caught her lord's neck and held him into the air.
"Do you want her alive, Lord Sesshoumaru?"
'Human!'
"So give me that shard and I'll let her go."
'Prepare to die'
The beast dashed to the monk but he threw the little girl away to fly down to the earth. The beast is angry and cut his head before reach to the cliff. He saw the school girl who rides on the fire cat to catch her form. Instantly, the left tentacle thrashed them down into the river and they were disappearing.
'Miko! Sessnoumaru!' The beast jumped from the cliff and ran along the river but he found nobody bobs up.
Kagome dragged the girl and the cat to the land and held them on her back to a village. The old women let them in and sent the girl a new kimono and change the unconscious girl a new cloth.
The school girl laid the cat near the bonfire to dried her hair. She sat the little girl on her lap and tried to wake her up.
"Lord Sesshoumaru" She whispered.
"Miko"
"Yes, wake up and eat this hot soup. It will warm you body."
The western lord did react but let her feed him before he feel asleep on hre lap.
"What about the child, Kagome?"
"She is fine now. I thank you, Zusu-san."
"Lie her down and eat you soup before it is going to cold."
"Thank you"
After the dinner passed, Zusu handed the girl two kimono to cover them. Kagome spoon the lord and held him close the share the warmth and pricked at the cat to lie close to them.
In the mid-nigth, an old woman woke up when she heard a noise from her door mat.
"Demon"
'Chuuu' He calmed the granny and walked toward the females.
'Sleep woman'
"Mm" She stared at his for a while before feel asleep again.
The demon lord sat on the floor and wrapped his fluffy around the two figures and lay next to Kagome.
"Rin-chan"
'Sleep' He put Kirara on the pelt and cuddled the women and his master.
'Dog'
'Sleep, cat. You need rest and this beast will stand on guard.'
Kagome turned around and laid the little girl between her and the beast then she put the cat demon on the fluffy above their head and slept again when the rain starts to pour down.
They said goodbye to Zusu in the noon after the rain had gone. The beast held them up and leapt through the air back to the group.
'Thanks, dog'
'Never mind, cat'
