Tousan!

Chapter 7

Gomen nasai! I didn't mean for the next chapter to take so long but I am not doing so well in my math class and my parental units reprimanded me and insisted that I spend more time studying..so yeah..

Oh another thing I wanted to mention! When I read an exceptional fic I like to post it on my stories I have not had much time lately so I have only had the time to read one or two but from what I have read I think that my friend Nozomi Shio did a fantastic job on her story Lalia Bli Cohav.

I recommend you read it!!! Now I hope I don't offend n e one by not posting their stories up here but if I was going to do that I'd b here all day. Her story just struck me and I thought I should make it known!

I just wanted to thank all you peoplees who reviewed! I appreciate it!

Previously:

A tall demon with silky straight silver hair stood in the entrance of the cave. His hair reached his waist and he had a large furry tail draped over one shoulder, he only had one arm and he looked, with scathing gold eyes, directly at Rei.

Only then did she notice he was holding something in his one hand. He took a few steps forward and held up Jaken's disembodied head in the firelight. His deep baritone voice rumbled deep within his chest,

"Is this yours?"

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Rei cringed, "Iwwww! Get it away!" she said sarcastically. Rin leapt up and ran over to Sesshomaru, giving him a suffocating hug.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" He bent down and scooped up the little girl and placed her on his shoulder, dropping Jakken's head next to the body, removing Tenseiga from its sheath.

"No! Wait a minute!," Rei protested, "Don't do that! You don't want to do that. Wouldn't you be much happier without..it.?" Sesshomaru ignored Rei's cries of protest and brought the Tenseiga down thought the air, seemingly slicing at nothing.

Jakken sat up and looked about groggily, his eyes traveled over the crystallized walls of the cave until they met up with the sight of Rei. Jakken shrieked and seeing the looming figure of Sesshomaru as a safe haven, dove behind the folds of his robes.

Sesshomaru stepped forward and grimaced,

"Half-breed! You reek Inuyasha and his mortal wench." Rei was infuriated,

"You arrogant, worthless, ignorant excuse for a demon. You are not much better, don't speak like that about things you cannot even begin to fathom!" She hadn't liked her uncle to begin with. Sesshomaru gently plucked Rin off of his shoulder and then, in a blur of white and silver, grabbed Rei by the throat, pressing her against the crystallized stonewalls of the cave. The small sharp points puncturing the flesh on her back, making her bleed.

Niesyrie whinnied in distress and moved to intercede but was stopped by the figure of Rin, arms outstretched, protecting Sesshomaru. Niesyrie reared and flattened her ears against the head, baring her teeth. She stood down.

Rei thrashed about trying to remove the hand that blocked her airflow but it refused to budge. She had no more discs and her naginata lay abandoned on the floor. Rei reached for her belt that sheathed her sai (plural) but Sesshomaru used his elbow to keep her trapped against the wall while he easily snapped the leather.

Rei heard the metal clank against the crystals and fall to the floor of the cave. Rin ran over to Sesshomaru and tugged at the material of his pants,

"No! Seshomaru-sama let her go! She is a good girl! She wont hurt anyone anymore, I promise! Don't hurt her she's my friend!" warm tears spilled down her cheeks but Sesshomaru still kept a firm hold.

Rei was all out of options and she had no energy left to struggle. She lay limply in Seshomaru's grasp. Rin cried out once more, "Seshomaru-sama please put her down! Don't hurt my friend!" At this last plaintive request he took a step back, Rei peeled off the wall and collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Rei awoke to the morning light creeping onto the tunnel, refracting throughout the crystal cave until it was ablaze with the morning sunshine. Rei moved to sit up but realized her movement was restricted due to the sleeping form of Rin, curled at her side.

Rei's hand grabbed her belt and she placed a clawed hand on a sai, she was demon once more. Her piercing orange eyes swept over the cave and to her dismay she realized Sesshomaru and Jakken were still there.

She gently moved the sleeping form of Rin and placed her on the floor next to Niesyrie. Rei picked up her belt next, tying it around her waist and picking up her naginata and returning it to its place on her back. She moved to the entrance of the cave where Sesshomaru sat against the wall of the cave opening.

"Why didn't you finish me?" Rei asked. Sesshomaru said nothing in response and continued to stare ahead blankly. She did not raise her voice or she might wake the sleeping Rin but she squatted down until she was level with him and asked again,

"Why not?" Sesshomaru turned his eyes to meet hers, the golden pools refracting a light of their own. He shrugged and set back to the task of watching the sunrise. Rei, already familiar with her uncle's expression from previous dealings, sighed and resolved to sit next to him and wait until he was ready.

"Rin wouldn't allow me.." he stated tonelessly.

"What..?" Rei looked up. Sesshomaru began again,

"You did nothing to harm her so I couldn't, she has grown attached to you." Rei was taken aback, he did have a conscience. Rei smiled warmly,

"Sooooooo are you going to tell me what u did to your arm then?"

Sesshomaru explained to Rei about the battle for Tetsusiaga and the fight in which he lost his arm. Rei grimaced,

"That's quite a battle scar!" Rei thought about her power, her mother was a miko (priestess) and her father part demon. Together they made an interesting combination. Suddenly a thought struck her,

"C'mon Sessomaru I have an idea!" she grabbed his wrist and proceeded to drag him into the cave.

"What do you think you're doing?" he demanded.

"I think I can help you." She said enthusiastically. Rei dragged him over to the fire pit, pointed at it, and watched as it sparked into a bright flame. Rei let go of Sesshomaru's hand and he watched her move about the camp in a flurry. Rei went into her bag and retrieved a beautifully crafted mirror. It was oval in shape and it had elaborate silver engravings around the edges.

Rei also walked over to the wall and using the handle of a sai, chipped a small piece of the crystal off.

"Sit down, it will take a little while." Rin awoke at the sound of movement, waddled over to Rei, and sat down next to her, by the fireside.

"What are you doing?" Rei smiled at Rin and gave her a hug.

"Why don't you go over and tell Sesshomaru to sit down, he doesn't seem to want to listen to me.." Rin looked at Sesshomaru and nodded, he sat reluctantly. Rin waddled over to him and found a seat in his lap as Rei picked up the mirror and the small crystal.

She placed the crystal on the surface of the mirror and Rin gasped when it sunk below the glassy surface. Rei raised her head and looked directly at Sesshomaru,

"Before we go any further I must know, do you trust me enough to allow me finish?" Sesshomaru smirked,

"No, should I..?" Rei smiled back,

"No, probably not.. I think I found a way to return your arm to you, should I continue?" Sesshomaru's brow furrowed in thought and he spoke once more,

"What would this transaction require?"

"All that I would need is a bit of blood from the palm of your right hand and you can leave the rest to me." Rin clapped her hands with glee,

"Sesshomaru-sama! You can have your arm back isn't it wonderful!" Rei pulled a sai out of her belt and outstretched her hand,

"Just know this wench, should you do anything stupid and I will kill you. I won't hesitate twice." Rei nodded in agreement and Sesshomaru placed his hand, palm up, in hers. Rei took the point of her sai and dragged it across the skin of his right hand, making a neat trench that was soon filled with crimson blood.

She picked up her silver mirror and tilted Sesshomaru's hand so that the blood ran onto its surface. The blood pooled in the center of the mirror and it trickled below the surface merging with the crystal.

"May I see your shoulder?" Rei indicated his left arm. Sesshomaru pulled his right away from her grasp and licked the excess blood from his palm as he proceeded to roll his sleeve up to the stump of his left arm.

Rei was reluctant to finish the process,

"Are you sure you want to do this..?"Sesshomaru nodded. Rei took her mirror and placed it onto the stump of his arm, Sesshomaru gasped and cried out in pain. Rin stared into his face and stumbled backward, her eyes wide,

"Sesshomaru-sama?" His breath came in short gasps. Rei pulled the mirror away and as it moved, Sesshomaru's arm was restored, She pulled it back farther, out of the interior of the mirror, it rippled and creaked in protest.

Sesshomaru moaned, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, he began to shake involuntarily he tried to stay upright. Rin rushed forward and threw her arms around him and his eyes fluttered open.

Rei was also having a difficult time with the petulant mirror that was determined to crawl back up Sesshomaru's arm and devour him.

"No! I don't think so!" Rei snarled and ripped the mirror away and Sesshomaru and Rin toppled over backwards. Rei cradled the mirror, she stared in disbelief as the glass began to crack. She held it out n front of her as the glass shattered and the once silver frame turned black and disintegrated into sand.

Rei stood soundlessly, watching the sand slide through her fingers. Jakken, who had been cowering behind a rather large stalagmite, ran over to Sesshomaru and helped him to his feet. Sesshomaru looked over his arm and flexed the fingers experimentally, it was if the battle had never occurred.

Jakken looked over the arm and began speaking rapidly,

"Look! Look! Lord Sesshomaru isn't it wonderful? I can't believe it its just like before! I-" Jakken was cut off suddenly as Sesshomaru put his new arm to good use and sliced his head clean off,

"I don't know what I was thinking, bringing you back.." Rei stared and began to applaud.
