Rin trudged slowly through the forest towards the nearest town. Actually,
the one closest was the village that the dragons had destroyed, but it hurt
her too much to go back an see if any mortals had survived. The wound on
her back had partially scabbed over, but blood still trickled down her
back. And so did the tears on her face; she had yet to stop crying. In her
left hand she clenched the Tensiega

"Hey, Rappa! There's a girl approaching the gate. Should I let 'er in?"
"No, Yaja, wait until she gets close. It may be a Kitsune!"
Rin stumbled to the door.
"Please.." she croaked, "Let me in…" she then collapsed at the wooden doors.
"Woah! That ain't no fox! Get Hakaba!"
Rin awoke in a small hut filled with the smells of herbs and flowers.
"Ahh, so the girl has awakened." A male voice.
"Sesshomaru-sama?"
"What? I'm Kien, the village monk. This is Hakaba," he said, pointing to a middle aged woman with jade hair that fell easily to her waist," The miko of this village. Was it the notorious Sesshomaru who attacked you?"
"No! No, it wasn't my fault!" She screamed suddenly, surprising the two people. "Oh, Sesshomaru-sama…" she rocked back and forth, consumed in her grief.
"It must be shock," Hakaba whispered to the monk, "Do not listen to what she says; it is as if hse is delirious."
"Shh, child, rest. We will talk to you tomorrow." She said, standing up. The duo walked out of the room.
"Seshomaru-sama…"Her eyes widened suddenly. The Tensiega! Where was her master's sword?
"HAKABA!" She yelled, leaping painfully out of her futon and through the door."I had a sword. Where is my sword?"
"Child, you must not move! You will reopen your wounds!"
"Where is the Tensiega?"
"Wait!" Kien said."The Tensiega was the sword of that bastard Sesshomaru. It is not yours. Do not speak kindly of his name, for he shall strike you down! That horrible youkai, he cannot even show kindness to a person whom cares for him."
"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" She cried, tears once again flowing from her brown eyes "Once, for my birthday he got me a beautiful yukata! And he always stopped Jaken from hitting my head! And then…," she sobbed, her shoulder shaking," Then he sacrificed himself for my life!"
"Quiet!" The miko shouted. "I will have no nonsense in the village that threatens the lives of us! You are a visitor, child or not, and need to show respect! The sword that you carried had a powerful demon aura and is being purified by the monks at this moment."
No! Rin thought. That could destroy its power!
"Kien, take her back to the hut, and make her rest. She has lost a lot of blood and is obviously in a severe state of shock."
"Hai, miko!"
*
That night nightmares haunted Rin's thoughts. It was the memory of Rin's tenth birthday. He had given her a bow and arrows, and had hired a Kitsune Warrior to teach her how to use it. But, as he held the bow in her hands, they seemed to come to life, and she shot an arrow through Sesshomaru's heart.
"You betrayed me, you disgusting girl! I should of let the wolves take you!" He screamed before flames engulfed both of them.
"NOO!"
Rin woke up, her heart racing.
"I have to get the Tensiega back…" She said to herself. "Sesshomaru…wouldn't be happy if it got damaged…"
She pulled her battered body up. As she approached the door, a howl pierced through the serene silence of the night.
Wolf demons!
