AN: Sugoi! 5 reviews on the first day ^_^ I'm flattered. Annnyway, here's
the next chap! Whoooho! Oh, and I don't own Inuyasha, the great and
wondrous Rumiko Takahashi does. All hail the great Takahashi!
Paws pounded on the ground, an unending rhythm. Rin creeped out of the back door of the hut and headed towards the monks' purification building, bow in tow. The string had been fixed, and in her left hand Rin grasped six arrows- not many, but at least she had _some_ protection. Her back still throbbed to the beating of her heart, but the pain had dulled from what she had felt the night before. She slipped through the front door into the musty smelling room.
When she got into the hut the first screams of victims rang through the air. Rin's heart beat fast as memories of her death flashed through her mind. The cold fangs puncturing her throat, cutting off her air….She shook her head. If the wolves caught her now she would either have to fight of die; Sesshomaru was no longer there to save her. She set her mouth into a grim line and then began to search for her master's sword, the Tensiega.
She found the silver blade moments before the door burst open and six wolves, howling triumphly about their conquests in the village, entered the hut.
"Oh god.." Rin thought. This was insane! The sounds…the smells…all like the day on which she died. And this time…No one was there to revive her….
"Roowr!" A wolf barked, and the rest ran to where Rin was hiding, huddled behind a golden statue of Buddha. Soon a wolf circled around the statue and Rin's location was found. Clutching the Tensiega in one hand in her bow in the other, she leapt from her hiding place and faced the snarling pack.
They launched towards her, their claws outstretched and their drooling mouths wide. On reflex Rin shielded herself with the Tensiega.
"Oh no.." She thought as the wolves jumped. "The Tensiega won't cut a leaf, let alone a pack of wolves!" She clenched her eyes, readying for the stroke of death that she had felt once before. But there was none….instead the howls of pain of the wolves as their blood splattered on her face.
"What?" She whispered. The Tensiega was crimson with blood. "Oh no…."
The Tensiega had been destroyed, or at least its youkai aura. Now it was just a piece of metal, unlike the shining blade it had once been.
"Oh, Sesshomaru-sama, I am so sorry…" She leaned against the statue, staring at the only keepsake she had left of her master, now ruined. But she had no time to grieve. A shadow of a man fell across the floor, and a demon's aura fell the air.
"Why have you killed my warriors, Kitsune!"
"What?"
"What, do you think I'm that stupid? There is no way a young female mortal could've done that kind of- Wait! You are a mortal! I can tell by your smell…" He came closer. Rin held the blade straight towards the approaching youkai.
"You hold the weapon on Sesshomaru in your hands. It is truth that the Western lord is now dead, isn't it?"
"I…I didn't mean to!" She cried "It was an accident! I swear! I should've listened to him...I should've stayed… It's all my fault!" She then took her gaze off of the Tensiega and into the eyes of the youkai.
"Kill me."
"What?"
" I deserve to die. I killed a lord, didn't I? It is a crime that means death. Kill me."
