Sessho-sama meets a Girl (not Rin)

Sesshomaru walked purposely through the forest. He really didn't know where exactly he was going, just that he had to go there. Jaken stumbled alongside him, tripping over various rocks, sticks, and roots.

'Jaken. Hmph. Even Rin has more balance than that stupid toad,' Sesshomaru thought to himself. If his thoughts had been audible, it would have been a mutter.

Rin happily bounced alongside her savior, Sesshomaru. She looked up at him with adoring eyes, and knew that her Fluffy-chan would always stay with her. She beamed at him and Sesshomaru shocked himself by almost smiling back. Before he could stop it, a small (yet noticeable) small was tugging at the corner of his lips. Rin, knowing what a rare sight a genuine smile was from Sesshomaru, hugged his leg and bounded of to get some flowers.

Sesshomaru stared in surprise. He, who was so good at keeping his emotions at bay, smiled. 'How old is she now? Six? Seven, maybe. Hm. Sometimes I wonder whether I should have saved her from Kouga's wolves. She is kawaii…Ack! What am I thinking?' Sesshomaru shook the thought out of his head and focused on the forest around them.

He stopped. When he had been looking at Rin, he hadn't noticed a faint smell in the breeze. But now he stopped, sniffed, frowned. 'Human. It figures.'

He decided to follow the offending smell, which he noted didn't smell so bad as other humans…actually kind of nice…'Wait! There I go again.'

Jaken, noticing the abrupt change of direction, started to wonder what was wrong with Sesshomaru. 'He's been wondering around endlessly.' He thought grumpily.

Sesshomaru saw a cave, and immediately concluded that was where the human was. As he stepped into the mouth of the cave, there was an arrow at his throat and a voice hissed, "Don't move."

In a quick motion, Sesshomaru smacked the arrow away, and hit it with force enough to break it in two against the wall. He heard a groan from his assailant.

"Aw man. That was my last arrow. Do you realize how vital to my survival that arrow is??? I've been using it over and over, to eat and such, and now you go and break it. Sheesh. Thanks a lot."

Sesshomaru took in her long auburn hair and blue eyes. She glared fiercely at him and as she stooped over to retrieve her arrow, he also noted that in her short skirt and somewhat tight shirt, she wasn't bad looking. He started. Skirt? Shirt? Just like that Kago-whatever his hanyou brother traveled with.

"How did you get to this time period?" Sesshomaru had found out eventually that his brother's wench time traveled.

She stared at him, and flipped her hair (which was a little longer than mid-back) over her shoulder. "Hmph. If you must know, I fell through a well. What's it to you?"

He felt anger starting to boil up, but his face showed no emotion. "Since you are knew here and don't know of my status, I will let you live."

"Oh, gee thanks, my hero!" she said in a mocking tone and turned to go deeper into the cave. She was stopped suddenly by a hand gripping the collar of her shirt and hoisting her up to the demon lord's face. She wasn't really afraid of him, she just wanted to be left alone. Ever since she fell through the well, she had to fight all sorts of demons who just wanted to get a jewel shard of some sort that hung around her neck.

"Don't ever mock me." He managed an angry tone, but he was fascinated by the fact that she was actually looking BORED to see him.

"Look, demon-thing, if you want my necklace you can't have it. So buzz off."

He then saw, with faint surprise, that she had a Shikon shard around her neck.

"Where did you get that?" He was merely curious, and he pondered the stone for a while before she cleared her throat.

"A-hem. As much as I love being held two feet off the ground, could you let me go? Being in such close proximity of you is making me sick," she said with a sneer.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, but fought the urge to crush the insolent being's throat.

"Fluffy-chan! Look at these flowers! I picked them and they're a present for you!"

As Rin ran into the cave, the girl looked at him with a new interest. "Fluffy?" she couldn't stop a snicker from fighting its way out of her mouth. When Sesshomaru glared at her, she only laughed harder.

"I grow tired of you, human. The only reason you are not dead yet is because of that thing around your neck." 'And because you smell better than most humans,' a small part of him said. He ignored it and pinched the girl in the spot on her neck. She fell inconcious immediately.

She woke up in a strange room.

Hee hee hee. Maybe I should not write another chapter for a long time…*dodges rotten fruit being thrown at her* okay okay! Gasp. Just review review review! Even flames are welcome. (although I feel sad getting them.) also, any ideas on how to continue the story are welcome.
