A/N: I don't own inuyasha & Co.

 Sesshomaru has arrived. :) *shouts of females could be heard*

Chapter 8

Sesshomaru was waiting for them in the forest clearing. He smelled blood when Rin was approaching him but he

was not alarmed. He knew it wasn't her blood.

"Sesshomaru-sama!!!" Rin ran happily towards him and launched herself to his right leg. He felt a slight

electric shock when Rin hugged his leg. He didn't react though. (A/N: Sess is always so calm even though you

know he's already mad) He looked down at Rin with his stoic mask and then to the blood. *that feeling… it felt

like I was being purified… it came from the blood. It isn't human blood… who does it belong to?*

"Sess-sho—mar-uuu-sama." Jaken panted and fell on the ground. Sesshomaru looked at Jaken then at Rin. Jaken

knew what the "look" meant (A/N: it means you-better-tell-me-what-the-hell-happened-before-i-squish-you-like-

the-bug-you-are.) He immediately stood up straight all weariness aside ready to report.

"Sesshomaru-sama, Rin went deep into the forest to get some food and I, Jaken went after her only to be

cornered by a snake but" He hurriedly rushed to finish it because the look that he got intensified. "but I,

Jaken fought with my staff of flames but to no avail then this girl appeared her name was… um…"

"Rine!" Rin chirped happily.

"yes… yes Rine appeared and suddenly light came from her a blinding one of white and gold. The next thing I new

she fired an arrow and the snake youkai was gone! It was completely obliterated! The wound on her shoulder was

also gone. She didn't notice it but I did! She doesn't even seem to remember being injured and the blood that

was on her kimono vanished!!!" By the time Jaken finished he was out of breath.

*interesting… could it be… it is only a legend but the purity of the blood stain on Rin's clothes…*

"Come Rin." Rin skipped happily nehind Sesshomaru.

"Awk! Sesshomaru-sama, where are we going?" He was not answered but by the direction that Sesshomaru was going,

it was obvious, to the west.

PLEASE REVIEW! :) please?
