Can I actually do this, Rin asked herself as she watched the trees wiz underneath them.
They had been traveling for a long time since Yang was having a bit of a hard time tracking Sesshomaru down, but he was slowly gaining ground.
"S…Sasume" stuttered out Rin.
"What is it Rin" asked Sasume and she turned around to look at the distressed child.
"do you think this is really necessary? I mean hunting Sesshomaru down and all, isn't there another way" Rin asked quietly feeling something stir in the pit of her stomach.
"Sadly no, there is no other way that we haven't tried. The only way is to beat him in a battle so he will respect you and I as Lords of both the Eastern and now the Southern Lands" Sasume replied and put a clawed hand on Rin's shoulder.
"You can do this, you are more powerful than he ever thought about being".
"Should we tell him who I am though" Rin asked and smiled a little bit deviously. Let him worry about me, why should I even care, crossed her mind.
"It is up to you. I am not the one to battle him, it will be you" Replied Sasume and she turned back around to let Rin think.
"From now on I will be called Sasuke, Lord Sasuke" Rin stated with a broad smile on her face.
"Alright Rin…I mean Sasuke" Sasume said before laughing slightly.
Suddenly Rin caught the strong scent of rain water and she knew that they had indeed tracked down Sesshomaru. When yang landed on the ground Rin and Sasume hopped off of him and they stood in front of Sesshomaru who had his hand placed on tokijin's hilt.
"Well Sesshomaru, long time no see cousin" Sasume said trying to sound as nice as possible since she was attempting to avoid a fight knowing how Rin had felt.
"what is it you want Sasume, you are wasting this Sesshomaru's time" he stated in his usually icy tone.
"It is time we gather the four lands to bring peace and tranquility to these troubled lands" Sasume said trying to make it sound convincing.
"As I have told you before I have no interest in your so called 'get together' it is pointless. For no one will agree on anything" Sesshomaru stated and Rin frowned.
"Have you ever even tried to solve things? Or did you just sit there silent and not care what happened as long as you had all the power in the world" Rin asked and Sesshomaru's cold gaze settled onto her.
"Do you remember what happened last time you let your tongue slip like that girl" he threatened, but Rin just laughed.
"You have no right to address me as though I am rubble under your feet. I am Sasuke the lord of the southern lands which means I am your equal, and maybe more" Rin stated proudly and Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her.
"You will never be my equal filthy peasant. Just because you were trained and given a title by that mutt over there does not mean you are equal to I" Sesshomaru scoffed and Sasume growled slightly in irritation.
"I'm not a mutt" she mumbled slightly, but kept quiet to the most part.
How dare he call me a peasant, my parents were killed and I was left with nothing. That gives him no right to call me anything. I will just hit him on a sore subject, Rin thought as her blood boiled beneath her skin from such a remark.
"Oh peasant huh? Well how's it feel to have a father that left your mother for a human? I know you better than anyone Sesshomaru even though you may not realize it…" Rin said before she was pinned up against a tree by a clawed hand to her throat.
"I told you to watch your tongue now you're going to regret it" Sesshomaru said and held his hand up as the poison dripped from his nails ready to take his victim.
"I'm not stupid" Rin stated before pulling out her stashed dagger and swiped his cheek with it while launching upwards and landing gracefully on a branch above.
Sesshomaru pulled out Tokijin as the blood slowly ran down his cheek from the wound that was right above where his markings were.
"We will see just how well your master taught you" Sesshomaru stated as he shot a quick glance towards Sasume who just stood back and patted Yang on the head.
"Fine have it as you wish since we can't handle things calmly" Rin stated and stood calmly waiting for an attack.
What is she doing leaving herself open like that! She's going to get herself killed, Sasume mentally shouted at Rin only to hear the echo of her on voice.
A smile was on Rin's face when she saw Sasume's facial expression. She knew exactly what Sasume was thinking which made it funnier.
I will dodge until he loses his composure then I will make my move and end this, she thought hoping that she had thought this through correctly. She knew things could take a turn for the worse and that was what she feared the most, but she didn't let it show.
In one quick motion Sesshomaru was up on the branch that Rin was and he took a jab at her with Tokijin. To his surprise though she practically disappeared and appeared on another branch by the time Tokijin embedded into the bark of the tree.
That is impossible, Sesshomaru thought to himself as he kept in pursue of the pray that seemed to always slip away from the blade of his sword.
Soon the irritation got to him and he started running faster and he kept slashing his sword at her, but it still seemed like he was cutting air.
His patience is wearing thin, he will soon have to crack or he will transform, Rin thought as she studied his demeanor.
Without second thought she did a flip over him while barely avoiding the sharp blade that managed to slice a tiny piece of her hair. Then swiftly she pulled out her sword and held it to the back of his neck showing that if he didn't surrender she would kill him right there.
"This Sesshomaru surrenders" Sesshomaru growled out. "I know when I've been beaten".
Sesshomaru tossed his Tokijin on the ground showing he wasn't a threat and Rin placed her back in its sheath.
"Don't.." Sasume shouted but she was cut off by a painful scream.
There stood Rin with Sesshomaru's hand going straight through her chest which pierced her heart clean through.
"You bastard how dare you… try to kill me after a fair battle" Rin spat out as blood ran down her chin.
Then before Sesshomaru could react Rin had flung the dagger that was in her possession at him and it hit him straight where she wanted it to, the heart. This made him quickly remove his hand from the gaping hole in Rin's chest to remove the thing that was causing him pain.
