Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!! :)

While Kagome thought there was no way Rin would go into the forest Sesshomaru thought otherwise. After pestering Inuyasha about it so much, Inuyasha reluctantly agreed to go with Sesshomaru to go look around the forest. When Kagome heard that Inuyasha was going she refused to be left behind, soon Sango and Miroku also announced that they were coming too.

As Sesshomaru stood by the forest he grew more impatient each second while he waited for Inuyasha to finish whatever it was he was doing. A moment earlier Shippo had "accidently" set Jaken on fire with his fox fire. While Jaken ran around in circles just making the flames worse he had brushed against Kirara and set her on fire too. Sango doing the smart thing threw water over the two demons.

Now that they weren't on fire anymore they both started to chase Shippo around. The noise was begining to give Sesshomaru a headache. Finally not being able to put up with it anymore he slipped silently into the quiet forest. No one noticed Sesshomaru's abscence right away since he hadn't spoke at all the whole time.

Kagome was the first to notice that he was gone, "Sesshomaru left," she pointed out. Jaken hearing that his master had left him tried to run into the forest after him but Inuyasha grabbed him. "You can go in with the rest of us so you don't get lost."

Inuyasha stepped into the forest he sniffed the air and found Sesshomaru's scent. He followed the scent while everyone else followed after him.


Rin sat up dizzy. Looking around she wondered where she was. After seeing the Rai and Kuri staring at her she remembered everything. The first thing she did was grab her katana, where had Kagura taken her?

She backed up slowly trying not to freak out, expecting her back to hit against a wall she was surprised when she backed into a person. Turning around in surprised she saw that it looked like a demon. She shivered, he looked scary.

The thing, Rin decided to call it, stepped closer to her, "you must be Rin, I'm Naraku." Rin wondered how Naraku knew he name, then she remembered this was the same voice that had spoken while Kagura had been attacking her.

Lifting up her chin Rin defiantly gazed into Naraku's eyes and stated in a clear voice, "I should be going now, bye." Naraku grew even more scary as his eyes flashed red, "no you won't be going now, or any time soon."

Rin tried to pretend that she wasn't scared but she really was terrified, she pretended like she hadn't heard Naraku and she grabbed Rai and Kuri and was about to pick up her pack when Naraku attacked.

He picked her up by her throat and held her against the hard cave wall. "I suggest you listen to me if you value your life." Rin gasped surprised at his strength. Naraku smirked, "or if you don't care about your life I can just get rid of it for you now."

Naraku grabbed the katana out of Rin's hands, Rin stared at the sharp blade with wide eyes. Naraku let out a laugh, "obviously you don't care about your life then."

He drew his arm back, and Rin finally found her voice. She could hear the katana slicing through the air coming closer to her, Rin let out the loudest scream she could possibly manage with Naraku holding her by her throat, "STOP!"


Inuyasha had caught up to Sesshomaru after about 10 minutes. Nobody was talking because they didn't want to ruin Sesshomaru's or Inuyasha's concentration. Because it was so quiet it made Rin's scream even easier to hear. When he heard the scream Sesshomaru stopped growling. Everyone looked at him wide eyed, they had never seen Sesshomaru look so mad before.

Sorry it's really short but it's Christmas and all and I'm super tired, the next one will be longer. Thanks for all the reviews and all the people favoriting the story. :)
