A Demons Love

Akira slept in the next morning until about noon. She woke to Sesshomaru gently shaking her shoulder. "Wake up." he said softly "We're already getting a late start." Akira sat up rubbing her eyes and stretching. She looked around and spotted Jaken holding the reins of a two headed dragon. It must belong to Sesshomaru, she thought. The beast was saddled and bridled with embroidered leather. The tack would have cost a fortune but Sesshomaru had probably gotten it free.
Rin grabbed Akira's hand and pulled her closer to the dragon. "Akira meet Ah and Un." "It has a name?" said Akira "Of course." Rin replied I named them myself. Lord Sesshomaru hadn't named them so I did." Akira smiled "And what lovely names you gave them." She liked Rin very much. She was a sweet unabashed child and in fact reminded her of herself at that age. Sesshomaru lifted Rin onto Ah and Un's back and then Akira. For the rest of the day they traveled this way; Sesshomaru led the way followed by Jaken leading Ah and Un with Rin and Akira on its back.
After sunset they settled along the stream they were following down the mountain and had their dinner. "So you're going home to see your family." Rin said breaking the silence. Akira nodded "Yes." "I bet you miss them very much Akira, don't you." "Of course I do." she replied. Akira studied Rin's face closely. There was an almost tearful sadness in her eyes. Did I say something wrong, Akira asked herself.
Rin had curled up next to Sesshomaru to sleep. "Sesshomaru." Akira said, "Where is Rin's family?" He answered her almost immediately "Dead, they were murdered by bandits; this was before I met her. She was an orphan living in a village where she was treated poorly. I was wounded in a fight and was recuperating in a forest when she found me. She kept bringing me things trying to help me. I knew she was being mistreated; she was always covered in bruises and black-eyes. That village was attacked by a wolf pack, she had tried to get away but they caught her." Akira gasped and put her hand over her mouth. "And you brought her back." she said He nodded "After that she followed me. I tried to get rid of her but she would not leave. By now I've become accustomed to her and enjoy the company. Sometimes I feel as if she were my own child." He paused and they sat in silence for a few moments. "Get some sleep." he said "We can't have anymore late starts. If were lucky we might reach the boundary of the western territory by nightfall." Akira laid awake for quite some time thinking about Rin. The poor girl she has no one in the world, I wish there was something I could do for her, thought Akira. With these thoughts in her head she fell asleep close to the warm fire.
Authors' notes: Sorry the chapters so short I had a pretty long chapter 9 then just when I was getting ready to go update I hit some stupid keys on the keyboard and erased the entire thing. I spent like an hour trying to get it back but couldn't find it. Sorry I'm such a blonde and so computer challenged. The most complicated thing I do on this computer is burn cd's. I promise I'll make it up to you by updating soon with a nice long chapter. In fact as soon as I update this chapter I'll start writing it, ok.
