-Sesshomaru-

He was still in shock, staring at the spot Rin had once stood in. Her words clung to his brain like vines wrapped around a tree. He had said the villagers in distress were none of their concern, and as soon as he said them, a strange pinge of regret struck his cold heart as he saw the udder pain and distress in Rin's golden eyes. He turned his attention back to the stars, but a wail of pain escaped Rin's throat, he turned his head, and before he could say something else he noticed her eyes change, they were determined, with anger sizzling in the back of them. Suddenly she spoke

"No. It does not concern you, nothing concerns you, as long as you're not the one being put through pain!" he felt his eyes widen, he could hear nothing but anger and hurt in her voice.

"They are dieing, they are losing the ones they love! How dare you say it's not our concern!, I have always believed in you Lord, I had always seen the kind in you!, remember when the monks tried to take me away?, well I stayed with you! A demon!, I had no shame in doing so because I thought you were different then all of the other demons, I thought you were different from the bandits who killed my family!, but if you just sit here and watch the stars when you know people who are alive are suffering and being killed, then you know what? You are just as bad as the bandits!, and you might think because they're human they're worthless, but look at yourself, you're a human!, so guess what? Looks like you're just as worthless as them!"

as she shouted the last words it was as if his heart stopped. He couldn't believe someone had said that to him, especially Rin. He continued to stare at her, baffled.

"Now, I'm going to go help them, I won't let people suffer, I am not like you, I don't care if I am in your body, we are nothing, and I mean nothing alike, good bye Lord." she stated bitterly, but before Sesshomaru had a chance to reply, she was gone.

He narrowed his eyes, looking into the fire.

Rin, I said it was none of our concern for a reason.

He clenched his jaw in frustration,

I didn't want you to have to relive what had happened to you, or what happened to your family.

He closed his eyes and took a breath, he hated feeling weak and helpless, and the fact that Rin had pointed it out made him truly realise how useless he really was. He shook the thought from his head and sat up staight on Ah Un.

"Ah Un, wake up" he commanded, Ah gave a groan, as Un's eyes reluctantly fluttered open.

"We must go, and go quickly, follow the scent of blood" he told them in a stern voice, with one last groan from both heads, they took off.

Even as a human, it seems I'm always trying to save you from something Rin,

he thought to himself closing his eyes,

but I never thought I would have to save you from yourself.

~Rin~

When she heard the voice, her entire body froze, it was as if instead of blood her heart was beating out shards of ice.

"So, how much loot did yah get?" she heard the man croak.

"Eh, not as much as I had hoped, we done picked a poor village Boss, seems none of em' had nothin'" a deep voice replied glumly.

"Well, all the other bandits left, we should get goin' too, get on yah horse and go, I'll catch up, I just wanna check this place out a bit more" the raspy voice said, she heard the man give a sound of agreement and a horse galloping into the forest.

Then she saw him, the bandit that made her life crumble, made her want to end her own life, caused her pain.

"Darling, why not kill him?" she heard a voice in the back of her mind say, it sounde old and bitter, she knew that voice.

"Let me take over, just relax, we had done this before, it's easy, trust me darling,... trust me."

The words were so familiar, and so luring, something screamed at Rin to not trust her, but she felt herself relax, her body tingled, and she had an urge to slaughter. She felt herself walk towards the man, he would die, just like her brother.

"Hey, who is you? You gotta death wish or somethin?, get lost, or take a dirt nap." He growled at her.

She continued to move forward, a new kind of anger filled her, she had been mad before, but this time she felt different, it was stronger, it was darker. She was for once feeling hatred towards someone.

"No?, then fine!, die!" He pulled out a knife and charged toward Rin.

Blood flew into the air and splattered on Rins face, she heard the man infront of her wail in pain. She smiled,

"Does it hurt?, does it hurt to have something lodged in your chest?," Rin hissed bitterly, and when he didn't answer she grew irritated

"Well does it!?, it hurt my brother, but you killed him anyway!, now I'll kill you, slower, and you can rot in hell!" she screamed throwing his body down, she had lodged her hand into his chest before he could even think to stab her.

"Now, time for a little fun" she said evily, but her voice was different, it was her own, but there was a old bitter voice that echoed with every word she said.
