Chapter 14: Rin

Rin was flabbergasted. Yes, flabbergasted. She had no idea why Lucy had chosen her. She wasn't going to fight, but why did she get this huge rod. The rod Rin was holding was the only one of it's kind. It had a circle at one tip with spikes all around it. The other tip held a scythe-like blade to hold enemies at bay. It was a beautiful rod, but what for?

Rin could come up with no suitable reason for it. She began to mindlessly twirl the rod with her hands. She had no clue what was to happen next.

It came fast.

Very fast.

The only thing that Rin could do that was faster than that was to think and react. Having no idea what was going on and no idea who to trust, Rin was about to fall.

She had no idea the rod would hold her up.

From all directions light was flashing. Rin was reminded of how Sesshomaru moved that fast. Finally she yelled, "STOP!!!"

They did. And she could see them all. Their faces looked as if they weren't prepared for her to do that.

There were four people.

One she knew very well as Sesshomaru. He was holding two Blades: the Tenseiga and another one she did not recognize. He was in full attack phase, but he was in just the position to be able to protect her from any attack.

The second she knew kind of well. It was Kagome, wielding only her fists about her. By her position, Rin could tell that she wasn't against her.

The third was, well, that girl that hung out with Kagome. What did they call her? Sundo? No, wait, it was Sango. Sango was an ordinary human, but she was glowing somehow. What had given her super speed? She wasn't a miko, was she?

The fourth must have been the enemy. A girl of about fifteen was wielding six identical swords. Wait, SIX SWORDS? What had caused that? They were…floating swords.

Rin had to ask the enemy, "What is going on?"

The girl replied, "I want that rod?"

Sesshomaru took over at that point, "Why do you want?"

She replied with a bellow, "It BELONGED TO LUCY!!!"

Kagome, "You don't like Lucy?"

"Lucy is the one who gave me away. Lucy is the one who REPLACED ME. I HATE HER. And I want that ROD!!!!"

Rin was scared… She was about to run, but Rin wanted to be brave. She wanted to show Sesshomaru what she was capable of. "Who made this rod? What does it mean? What is your name?"

The girl was afraid to reply. Rin screamed, "Answer me!!!"

That voice was full of power, and the girl replied, "Leer made that rod for Lucy, as a sign of his love. But Leer is MINE. Yes, MINE. I want him…and if he won't have me, he won't have ANYBODY…"

Kagome, "Hormone problems…"

Sango, "Insane…"

Sesshomaru, "What kind of smell is that coming from you?"

Rin, "You haven't told me YOUR NAME!!!"

"Call me…Xaphrina…I will WIN."

And Xaphrina broke free of the spell Rin had absently without thought placed on her. Xaphrina attacked Rin.

And Rin unconsciously retaliated with magicks of her own. When even the world shook with one voice…

Your defeat is your own, as is your destiny. So tell me, CAN YOU DEFEAT ME?
