Chapter 10

A Walk In The Woods

"So why didn't you ask your mother to come?"

I rolled my eyes at the flood of questions that Edward was asking me.

The atmosphere was quiet. The only sounds were my heavy paws crashing to the ground, and the sounds of birds chirping in the trees around us.

"As I told you before, my mother and I are not exactly on speaking terms."

"Why is that exactly?" He questioned. Edward was having WAY to much fun with this.

"After my father died….things got even worse than they already were. Sohi did not treat me like a child. She treated me as if I was more of a pupil." A low growl escaped my lips as childhood memories flooded into my mind.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry."

A sigh radiated through my body. "Do not blame yourself for asking. I can understand why you would want to know so much about me." A moment of silence fell between the two of us before I spoke again. "It's just hard talking about things that I wish to forget."

"Believe me, you're not the only one." Edward tried to use a lighter tone, but I could hear the sulking in his voice.

"I will say this again. Do not blame yourself. Your regret is making me feel uncomfortable."

"Sorry." Edward apologized again, and I let out another sigh.

The silence between us was broken by a loud howl echoing through the trees.

Edward covered his ears from the loud noise but when it ceased he dropped his hands to his sides. "What was THAT?"

"InuMaru," My voice whispered softly. "He is calling me."

"Well what does he want?" Edward spit out. I couldn't help but let a chuckle escape my muzzle. "Do not tell me that EDWARD CULLEN is JEALOUS?"

"What?"

"Never mind. InuMaru wishes to speak with me later. The Snake demons are about a day's journey away."

"Oh." Was all Edward said, and I couldn't help but laugh again. "You may want to cover your ears." I whispered. Before Edward really had time to react, I craned my neck back and let out a loud howl in reply to InuMaru. Edward threw his hands over his ears and winced slightly at the loud noise.

"Sorry about that."

"It's ok." he sighed and I only stared ahead.

"AAAHHHHHHHH!" a loud scream echoed from the direction of camp. Without thinking, I raced off into the direction of the camp, Edward following not far behind me.

"What happened?" Sesshomaru demanded, rushing into camp at the same time as Edward and I.

"Rin was taken!" Alice shouted, and Esme burst into tears.

"T-that poor girl! She n-never saw them coming-"

"Esme, who took Rin?" I cut Esme off.

"The snake demon tribe was here only mere minutes ago." Carlisle explained as he gently soothed his grieving wife.

"Damn it!" Sesshomaru yelled. He began pacing back and forth, and then he stalked towards me.

"Why didn't you do what I instructed you to do?"

"Sesshomaru, do not blame me! The others where here to protect her!"

"But I instructed YOU to watch over them!"

My body was boiling with anger, and without thinking I screamed back at him. "Maybe if you showed more love towards Rin and watched over her she wouldn't have been kidnapped! Can't you see that she thinks of you as her father? Rin is your ward not mine!"

Sesshomaru snarled in anger but said nothing.

"If the child is truly worth all this trouble I will find her. But I am NOT doing this for you Sesshomaru."

I bolted into the woods following the trails of the snake demons. Mixed in with their scent I could faintly smell Rin's.

"Arashi!" Rosalie's voice for once drifted to my ears.

I turned my head slightly around, not slowing down in the slightest. "What do you want?" I spit out.

"Ask them!" She pointed her finger behind her.

My eyes widened in surprise. All of the Cullens were following me at vampire speed, desperately trying to catch up with me.

"What are you doing here?" I shouted giving them a killing glare.

"You didn't think you were going to face the snake demon tribe alone did you?" Alice said catching up with me.

I snorted loudly. "I can take care of myself!"

"Yeah just like the last time Arashi." Emmett retorted, coming up along the other side of me.

"I need to do this myself! You don't understand!"

"Why are you doing this Arashi? What are you trying to prove?" Edward shouted, catching up on my right side with Alice.

"I'm not trying to prove anything!"

"Then what do you want Arashi?" Rosalie shouted in her usual voice.

I looked ahead and my brow creased in anger. "I will not lose my brother again. And I will NOT…lose my niece!"

Then driving my legs on further, I raced off in the direction of Rin's scent, and left the Cullens in the dust behind me.
