Note: Thank you for enlighten me Kirara's gender!

Disclaimer: Don't own inuyasha *blah, blah, blah* Ok on with it! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*ready...fight!

Shippo shook his head. 'No fighting children, and no fighting women.' These were the rules Shippo had promised he would follow. But for some reason this woman was tempting him. Just the way she challenged him with her eyes made him want to fight back. Without further warning Rin charged. Shippo was caught completely off guard. He thought it would be easy to dodge a human, but this particular one was different. Shippo moved to his far right. Rin had just BARELY stabbed him. She smirked, her back facing his.

"Slow... as I expected."

Shippo frowned turning around ready to compose himself for another attack. -Whoosh! - The speed was amazing. Especially for a woman and even more unusual for a HUMAN how can she move this fast? Not even Sango, who has trained all her life from day one knew how to move in such speed. Shippo felt the blood run down his left shoulder. 'Damn, this woman is not someone to turn your back on.' Rin giggled holding up Toukijin, showing off its massive blade.

"Come now Hanyou... it's no fun when they don't fight back."

"Hanyou" Shippo repeated in a rather bored voice. Rin kept her mask solid and her blade still positioned the way she desired it. Rin was confused 'this is the hanyou isn't it?' because of her confused state the only remark she forced out was...

"Inuyasha"

Shippo smirked "So determined and yet so unprepared. Tell me why hold on to such a dark memory when all it does is beat your soul to nothingness?"

Rin frowned deeply. "What the hell are you talking about?!" Her patience running low Rin lowered her sword inching her way into a comfortable fighting stance. Shippo watched her every movement with his keen eyes. 'I remember now, this scent, the little girl at the field, this must be her the one who traveled with Inuyasha's kin.' Rin threw herself forward swinging her sword up and over. The blade whistled through the air biting down at the ground where Shippo was standing. Rin scoffed angrily 'damn, he's matched my speed.' Positioning Toukijin, she threw the sword to her left-up-and then back down. The blade whistled through the air as it swept over Shippo.

Shippo shook his head as he dodged keeping a firm eye on her actions. 'She doesn't use the sword properly. She doesn't swing with skill but with anger. 'Why to kill inuyasha? Has Sesshomaru influenced her into doing such thing?' Rin growled frustration jumping, turning, no matter how or what she did she couldn't seem to get a really good hit on him, although she was well aware of the annoyance she was causing him.

As the childish swings continued, Shippo observed, trying to figure this new creature out. 'She looks similar to Kagome.' Shippo dodged left then right using his demon energy to keep within a good distance from her. Even though she was with poor skills, she still had one other weapon... 'Anger' burning rage that flooded within. Shippo caught a look of exhaustion in her eye and that's when he stopped.

Setting a firm foot on the ground Shippo stayed not daring to move. Rin tried to catch her breath as she swung at him. Shippo raised his hand up catching toukijin's handle, his hand covering hers.

"Where are you aiming at?" Shippo said not leaving his eyes from hers

Rin growled pulling back, but to Shippo it seemed effortless. A single tug and she toppled over practically hanging from which he held. He shook his head feeling pity for what she has gone through. The battle took place along time ago. This whole time she dwelled on losing her (kind of) father.

"Let go monster!" Rin demanded as she struggled to free herself from his hold. Shippo chuckled a little. Seeing such an act, being performed by someone who acted as if they had the world in the pit of there hands. Rin didn't miss the smirk he gave her. Feeling a bit humiliated she swung her free hand up planning to smack him across the face, only to find her hand was caught 'yet again' by the red-headed demon. Rin, feeling her rage curl inside, worked up about a ton of curses to spill only to be cut off in doing so.

"I'm not inuyasha, he died the same day Sesshomaru did, I'm surprise you didn't know this."

Rin, for a moment simply hung there thinking. It was the sound of another chuckle that snapped her back to reality.

"Fuck that shit! How dumb do you think I am! Falling for a pathetic lie such as that! Let go of me dirty hanyou!!!"

Shippo's frown deepened, but finding that the woman wasn't that (much) of a threat he released her, Rin dropped landing on her knees. She muffled curses as she stood and dusted herself off. Shippo arched a brow shaking his head slightly. 'First comes at me with rage, the next growing weak and tired, and now she has time to dust herself off right in front of me?' Rin stared a cold dagger like stare at him trying her best to recompose herself. She opened her mouth moving it up and down indicating she was talking but Shippo didn't hear her words, he was far to busy in his thoughts.

'She's so stupid, she lives off of anger blaming both herself and others for her loss of love. She wields toukijin, I remember the sword now. The sword withholds an evil aura. Only darkened souls are to be accepted by its power. This woman is allowed to touch it, but can't use toukijin's power because she lives off of anger and hatred but still must have a pure soul.'

"...Therefore I will take you out for good once you recover from injuries."

Shippo blinked a few times in 'confusion' as he watched the girl climbed up to a familiar demon like horse thing before flying away through the air. Shippo snorted 'It might be fun to mess with her on there next little 'visit'.' Shippo smirked 'yes fun indeed.'
