Chapter
9
Kadin sat up rubbing his eyes. "What time is it?"
"Time to get up, and what makes the difference what time it
is? I don't have a watch to tell you, anyway." Sesshomaru was
leaning against a tree that was near by. Ah and Oon were just getting
up, stretching before having to walk. Rin was sitting on the ground
near Ah and Oon using the flowers she had gathered to make a
bracelet. Jaken was lying on Ah and Oon's back refusing to get up.
Sesshomaru sniffed the air smelling the red headed girls fresh
stench. He knew for him to get any answers he would have to find her,
and force her to talk, but these humans were slowing him down.
"You
don't have to be rude about it. Like I would remember were not home.
O and by the way, thanks Alura," said Kadin standing up. Alura
knew he was just grumpy because for once in his life he had to get up
before the sun. Still he didn't have to snap at him that way. 'All I
really did was state a fact.' She thought.
"O go fuck your
self."
"Miss Alura." said Rin as she tugged at
your jeans that looked older than they really were.
"Yes,
Rin." Said Alura trying to put on a smile for Rin. Kadin rolled
his eyes and walked towards Sesshomaru, who also looked irritated.
"Rin picked too many flowers, and she has extras. So you can
have one." Rin picked a rose that looked really red. 'Never have
I seen a rose that looked so red.' thought Alura. It almost looked
unreal to her. Alura took the rose out of the small girls fingers.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome." Rin smiled and
closed her eyes as she turned to Sesshomaru. "Lord Sesshomaru,
can Rin give one of my flowers to the red head girl? She seemed nice,
and Rin thinks she might like one."
"Why, not?"
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes; Rin was too nice in his mind. She never
thought anyone could be mean, and if she was going to give a flower
to every person she thought was nice then every person on the earth
would probably have one. He looked down to Rin. Rin's face lit up.
Her smile covered her face. She then turned to Ah and Oon, and sat up
on their back, with Jaken, who still refused to get up.
"Rin's
ready to go." she said. Alura walked towards Sesshomaru and
everyone else.
"Finally you're all ready." said
Sesshomaru walking in the direction in which he smelled the red
headed girls stench. The path was fresh with her footprints, which
Sesshomaru could have followed just as easy but decided he would
smell his way to her. It was always more demon like to smell your way
around. Sesshomaru walked ahead of Ah and Oon, which contained Rin,
and Jaken, and Kadin and Alura walked beside Ah and Oon. Sesshomaru
reached a hill and climbed to the top. When he reached the top he
turned to see were the others were. They were still a while away. He
looked out at the village that sat right in front of him. He watched
as the village children played on the streets as carts came pass
them. Finally Rin, Jaken, Ah and Oon, Kadin, and Alura made it to the
top of the hill.
"Finally." said Sesshomaru. He walked
towards the village. As the group walked past the shops, the owners
would give the group a look of discussed. Alura wasn't sure if the
looks were to all of them or to Sesshomaru. She believed that they
were to all of them, considering it was very rare to find humans
walking with demons. Sesshomaru stopped in front of a hut and walked
in. Alura, Kadin, Rin, Jaken, and Ah and Oon followed him. The girl
with red hair appeared from behind a curtain that split the hut in
two.
"What the hell do you want?" she asked pulling out
a sword from her waist.
