Hi! this is chappie 2. And I cannot stress how important it is to READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inuyasha quickly pulled out his sword, "Thanks for saving me the trouble hunting you down." He charged forwards with pure determination etched on his face. Rai struggled to stand up. Her knees had been skinned and she had an infected swelling cut where Sesshomaru had scratched her when pushing her down, "Damn it" she muttered to herself. Sesshomaru dodged Inuyasha's blows with much ease, "Pity your skills haven't improved much," He suddenly appeared behind Inuyasha and sunk his poison tainted claws into his unsuspecting opponent. Out of nowhere, a huge windstorm came out of nowhere. Rai looked over to see the monk unleashing the sudden storm. "Get Inuyasha out of there!" Miroku shouted over the deafening roar. Rai nodded and pulled Inuyasha out of the kazaana field. Sesshomaru was straining to keep from getting sucked in. In a matter of seconds, the air rip could've consumed him, but Sesshomaru was smarter than that. Or at least his rather large minion was. The humongous beast seemed to have appeared from nowhere. It set Sesshomaru on its shoulder. In order to keep from getting crushed, Miroku and the others headed for safer grounds along with Inuyasha. The beast suddenly picked up Rai, much to everyone's surprise. She didn't struggle, the creature was much more stronger and larger, you didn't have to be a genius to figure it out. Before anyone could come to her aid, swirling winds lifted the beast into the air. It was like she was in a dream. The nighttime air felt cool and refreshing against her face, the sky filled with brightly scattered stars. But she soon came crashing to reality when she confronted the facts. She was in the grip of a horrible monster, another monster rested on the shoulder of the beast probably deciding how to kill her. Fight to the end, Rai warned herself.

Sesshomaru observed the sulking female his minion held. She had a lot of wit to draw a sword against him. Her name was Rai, at least thats what he heard from the blubbering human who gave her as a servant. She was strong and vital, and seemed to have a good amount of knowledge on demons. Exactly what he needed, unlike Jakken who was growing feeble. And she could take good care of Rin, wasn't that what they are supposed to do? Of course, it would take a good amount of effort to break her spirit. And patience. One of the very few things he had little skill in. But he had a strong will to get what he wanted, and what he wanted was a good servant. He soon snapped out of it as his minion landed. Rai was released and was just about to run, but then whip wrapped around her. "Let me go!" she yelled furiously as she tried to withdraw from the whip. "Why should I do that? I have high expectations for you" Sesshomaru said in his trademark cold voice. "And what makes you think I'll live up to those expectations?" Rai scowled. "All you need is a motivation. And that motivation will be your life," He replied and drew his whip tighter around her.

"Inuyasha, we have to save her," Kagome insisted. "I'm sick of doing all this charity crap," Inuyasha said in annoyance, "Sesshomaru's not gonna kill her, probably make her a slave." "Exactly why we must help her," Sango said briskly. "Do you think Sesshomaru might've hurt her?" Shippo asked timidly. "No doubt to it, he's probably torturing her. To think, he can do anything with her, even-" Miroku started (but I think we can figure what he was about to say...) "Quit thinking like a sicko! He wouldn't do that, at least I think he wouldn't" Kagome trailed off. "Fine, we'll save the girl. Hurry up," Inuyasha muttered.

Rai looked across the crackling fire where Sesshomaru sat. Would being a slave to him be so bad? What was she thinking! Of course he would make her life a living hell. But so far, he hadn't hurt her too much. And he had killed that demon which had just tried to slash her to ribbons. But why? Probably just because he wanted to keep his slave alive to do his bidding. But it was only human to feel grateful, only human.

Sesshomaru reeled himself into his own turmoiled mind. He had protected the girl. But he felt it wasn't just to keep his servant, but a different feeling. For some reason, the thought of her being hurt saddened him. He quickly shook it off when he noticed Rai looking at him. Remember, kindness is the downfall of everything.
