New Companion...Chapter 2
In the forest...
Sesshoumaru saw that she was waking up, his eyes wondered to her face. After Jaken had cleaned out all the dirt and blood from her face, he had to note how beautiful she really was, her creamy skin, her pink small lips framed in her mane of light brown hair, on their last encounter her face was covered and the only thing visible was her eyes. Sesshoumaru slapped himself mentally for thinking such about a lowly human girl.
Rin sat up and her hand went to her head. Where am I? Why am I alive? My body aches like a thousand pound Youkai had sat on me until everything in me was squeezed out thought Rin.
"I see your up," said Sesshoumaru.
Rin's attention turned towards him, and a look of disgust and surprise came over her He's the Youkai I took care of, isn't he? What did he do to me? Thought Rin.
Sesshoumaru didn't move or turn away his gaze from her face Her eyes the color of sunset brown completes her true beauty, but they hold so much sorrow and hatred thought Sesshoumaru.
"You don't speak?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Rin looked around as if searching for something Where the hell are my bow and arrow?
"If you are looking for your weapon, it has been taken by my servant to be cleaned, and I do not wish to hurt you" said Sesshoumaru I can't understand why I'm taking care of her it's not like I really owe her, she took care of against my will, or why I don't want to hurt her [AN: Should seriously slap himself for that comment]
Rin looked down and she had to start laughing Now I have a Youkai looking after me, what has the world come to thought Rin.
This girl puzzled Sesshoumaru, she was laughing for no reason. Most would cry or have a fearful look on their face yet she was laughing.
"My lord the sword has been cleaned," said Jaken walking back carrying the sword.
Sesshoumaru continued to watch the girl, as her eyes wondered towards Jaken, and a slight humorous look came over her eyes, just as before on their first meeting and at the village as she started to laugh even more.
"What are you laughing at you crazy human?" said Jaken.
Rin continued to laugh at Jaken.
Sesshoumaru liked her soft laughs somehow they gave him comfort, which scared him.
"You stupid human girl stop laughing before my master" said Jaken.
Rin turned towards Sesshoumaru and just stared at him He's very beautiful for a Youkai; better then his little servant there. I like his ears and eyes the most...Whoa! Hold up stop thinking that way! It's Youkais' that killed your family and villagers. Taking care of him was one thing but now to think of him that way is another! Thought Rin.
"What is your name?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Rin looked at him should I speak or keep quite? Thought Rin.
Sesshoumaru turned away assuming she didn't speak.
"My name is Rin," said Rin softly.
Sesshoumaru's head turned at the soft and sweet voice that came from the girl.
"Rin?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Rin nodded as a response.
"Why are you taking care of me? Why didn't you let me die?" asked Rin.
"I didn't see any reason for you to die," said Sesshoumaru.
"What you plan to do with me now?" asked Rin.
"I have no use, or need for you so you're free to go" said Sesshoumaru.
Rin let out a surprised gasp He's just going to let me walk away? Thought Rin.
Sesshoumaru looked at her in a questing way.
Rin stared laughing. "I can't believe this is happening I must be dead," said Rin.
"You stupid girl you are not a bit thankful that my master has saved your life!" asked Jaken.
"Shut up you stupid toad" said Rin.
"Jaken were leaving," said Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, lord Sesshoumaru," said Jaken throwing dirty looks at Rin.
Rin laughed out again.
"We have better things to do like killing Naraku then taking care of a crazy human" said Jaken.
Rin stop laughing and got up from her sitting position and ran in front of Sesshoumaru.
"You are looking for Naraku?" asked Rin.
"You stupid wrench. Move!" said Jaken.
Rin ignored Jaken and looked straight in to Sesshoumaru's cold eyes.
"What business do you have with him?" asked Sesshoumaru as he watch Rin's hand balled in to a fist and that hatred had returned to her eyes.
"I want to kill that bastard, he was the one responsible for my villagers death," said Rin.
"I see," said Sesshoumaru.
"Do you know where he is or do you work for him?" asked Rin.
"My lord doesn't work for anyone," said Jaken.
"Will you shut up you stupid toad?!? Don't speak when your not spoken to!" said Rin finally.
"I should just fry you weak human" said Jaken.
"You want to find out how weak I am?!?" asked Rin.
Jaken was about to strike Rin with his staff, when Sesshoumaru spoke up.
"I do not work for Naraku, I want to find him for my reason of my own"
Jaken froze Why is lord Sesshoumaru telling this human girl such information? the toad thought staring at his lord.
"Then I ask for your company in finding him" said Rin softly.
Sesshoumaru's little 'Weak human' alarm went off.
"I don't want to ask for your help, but I'm alone and finding him will take awhile for me, kind of time which I don't have. I know you're a Youkai, and finding Naraku won't be as much of a challenge for you as it will be for me" said Rin.
"What makes you think that my lord will help you" said Jaken.
Rin gritted her teeth, and picked up Jaken and held him by his throat. "Listen you little nuisance, I didn't ask you! I ask your lord ok so shut up, before I squeeze your little head apart from your body, or better yet would you like to feel my sword against you little neck" said Rin.
Jaken gulped and looked at Sesshoumaru for help but got none.
Rin dropped Jaken and looked up at Sesshoumaru once more. "Now tell me will you let me accompany you? In return you will have my life time of service" asked Rin.
"I don't need your service. You may follow if you wish, but your life is yours to look after" said Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you" said Rin.
"Jaken were going to leave" said Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, my lord" said Jaken.
Sesshoumaru watched Rin from the corner of his eyes, she was dressed in a kimono that she was carrying in her bag, and she picked up her sword and other things.
Rin saw Sesshoumaru watching her I'll have to watch my back closely, even though I know he won't hurt me thought Rin.
"My lord can we leave" said Jaken.
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything just watched Rin from the corner of his eyes.
Rin walked slowly along with Sesshoumaru and Jaken following after them.
"What is that you seek from Naraku?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"Revenge what else" said Rin.
Sesshoumaru saw the look that was on her face. "Why?" he asked.
"He sent Youkais' to destroy my village" said Rin.
"I see" said Sesshoumaru.
"Not just once but twice. I have lost two village and each time I survived" said Rin.
"So you are feeling guilt?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"Yes, I should have died in the first one, but I didn't and the second time the lord of the village saved my life and you after that" said Rin.
"Why would Naraku attack your village?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"He is after the jewel shards, which was in both my village. The first time he tried how ever it was whole what happened after that I'm not sure of but, the second time it was in pieces" said Rin.
Sesshoumaru pulled out the shard that he found while battling the Youkai hand. "This?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Rin gasped and then nodded "How did you get that?" she asked.
"How I came about it doesn't matter, but why do you want them?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"The Shikon no tama is dangerous and evil when possessed by selfish beings, I will find the shard and save them until I can find someone to purify the shards" said Rin.
"There is someone who can purify the shards?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Rin nodded as a sad look came over her "I knew one but she passed away" she said quietly.
Sesshoumaru nodded "What were you doing in that village?" he asked.
"One I was fighting in?" asked Rin.
Sesshoumaru gave a small nod.
"I was passing by and saw it like that and the only thing that came to mind was Naraku, so I went to check it out. Naraku needs the Shikon no tama to become a full demon" said Rin.
"Naraku is not a full Youkai?" asked Sesshoumaru.
Rin shook her head "He's a Hanyou, and he wants to use the power of the Shikon no tama to become a full Youkai" said Rin.
"Interesting" said Sesshoumaru.
"But he is extremely powerful even for a Hanyou, he has the power to set beings against each other. To fight" said Rin.
Sesshoumaru didn't ask any more questions and Rin didn't make a gesture to make a conversation.
Jaken on the other hand has been listening to their conversation both with interest and annoyance. Great now we have a human who also acts like lord Sesshoumaru, but it's strange how he talk to her for so long and hardly ever talks to me TT does he like this human better? thought Jaken.
They traveled for a week, without any trouble, but Naraku had slaughtered that day when they reached another village.
Rin ran in to the village to look for survivors is anyone alive? thought Rin looking around.
"There is no one there alive" said Sesshoumaru.
"How can you tell?" asked Rin.
"I can't hear them breath" said Sesshoumaru.
Rin looked down at the ground "Why does he have to kill?!?!" asked Rin with gritted teeth.
Sesshoumaru watched as her face become darkened and she trembled with hate.
Why? WHY? thought Rin.
Sesshoumaru continued to walk down the road, but stopped when he noticed that Rin was still standing in the entrance looking down.
So much pain and hate... thought Sesshoumaru.
Life really is a bitch! thought Rin looking around.
"Is someone there...please help me" said a small voice.
Rin gasped and ran towards the sound. "Where are you?" asked Rin looking around.
