Notes: OK, I'm sorry for the late update, but I'm on vacation now, so I'll try to update a little more often.
The Same Quest
Chapter 3. Decision
Sango turned to the sky when she heard the screaming, well, it sounded like someone screaming. . . (it sounds like someone screaming. . . a woman's voice. . . no, a girl. . .well, that's weird). She turned to see Sesshoumaru, he wasn't paying attention to her anymore, he was staring at something in the sky, in the direction the noise was heard. (I'm guessing he can see what's making that noise)
When Aun landed, Rin jumped out of the animal, she did a little somersault and injured herself in the process, but as she raised from the ground, she ran immediately to Sesshoumaru. . . "Sesshoumaru-Sama!!, please stop" Rin was holding Sesshoumaru's legs with all of her strength.
He turned to Sango, Rin followed his look. Rin relaxed immediately when she saw that it was not Kohaku, she relaxed her grip. She kept staring at the girl, something was. . . familiar in her, but she took a while to realize What it was.
"Your clothes!!" Rin eyes glowed, and she ran to Sango.
Sango didn't knew how to react. . . (since when a little girl arrives, embraces Sesshoumaru's legs, and then it's surprised by the clothes I wear. . . this is confusing). Sango's eyes were as open as plates.
Rin was now in front of Sango,
"The clothes you're wearing. . . they are like Kohaku's. . . do you know him?" Rin was watching Sango with curiosity.
Sango felt like the electricity flowing through her body, (how does this girl know Kohaku?. . . why?). She kneel to be at Rin's height
"How do you know Kohaku?" her voice was trembling, she wanted to grab the girl and shake her, she was desperate, but she stopped herself, Sesshoumaru was there, and Sango didn't knew how he was going to react if he thought the girl was in any sort of danger.
"Rin met him sometime ago, she was in a room and Kohaku was with her, then some persons arrived and Kohaku told Rin that we had t leave that place, then Rin fainted and when she woke up Kohaku ran away, then Rin returned with Sesshoumaru-Sama. . . now Sesshoumaru-Sama is looking for Kohaku, Jaken-Sama said that it was because Kohaku was going to hurt Rin… but Rin doesn't believe this"
"Rin, shut up!!!" Jaken yelled at her, he was standing next to Aun. Rin was saying too much, as usual.
Sango didn't paid too much attention to the little girl's story (I'm guessing her name is Rin), but she heard the part where Sesshoumaru was after his brother (how dare he? Kohaku didn't attacked the girl at his own will, he was under Naraku's control!!). She raised herself and gave Sesshoumaru a defiant look, (now you're definitely not going to intimidate me… I didn't spent training half of my life to be afraid now)
"do you know him?" Rin pulled Sango's clothes and stared at her with curiosity ". . . Kohaku?" Rin wanted to know, the few time she had been with Kohaku they really hadn't talked, all she knew was that Kohaku had suffered a lot, like she had. (Kohaku told me that he couldn't remember his past, maybe this girl can help him)
Sango didn't paid attention to Rin, she was thinking about Kohaku, she was still looking at Sesshoumaru
"Why are you looking for Kohaku?" Sango was talking to Sesshoumaru with a defiant tone, but was holding Rin's hands for protection, the girl was the only shield she had at the moment.
"Do you know him. . .?" Rin pulled Sango's sleeve, ". . . Kohaku?" Rin really wanted to know, she had only seen Kohaku once, and all that she knew was that the boy was suffering a lot, and she wanted to help him. And this woman seemed to know Kohaku.
Rin keep looking at Sango for an answer
Sesshoumaru didn't move, he hadn't move this whole time, he was mad at Rin for revealing his plans, but that was normal in Rin, the girl just couldn't keep quiet, he was used to that. He was a bit surprise, he hadn't notice the clothes in the woman, and Rin had, and he was satisfied because that meant that the woman knew the kid, in someway.
"Where is he?" He finally said to Sango
"I don't know where he is. . . and if I knew, did you really believe I was going to tell you. . . not after knowing what you're up to, why the hell are you looking for him?" Sango's grip on Rin's hand went tighter as she spoke.
Sesshoumaru could see what she was doing and decided to leave. The woman wasn't lying, he could sense that. And he was getting angry, because at last this had been another waist of time. The woman's attitude wasn't helping either, she was too defiant, and he wasn't in the mood. He didn't want to kill a woman in front of Rin.
He turned and started to walk.
"Rin, we are leaving" He said without turning
". . . but Sesshoumaru-Sama, this woman knows Kohaku, and Rin wants to know why. . . "
"Rin, don't act like a spoiled brat, Sesshoumaru-Sama gave an order and you are supposed to obey, or maybe you just want to stay here" Jaken yelled riding Aun.
"Yes, Jaken-Sama" Rin gave a sad look to Sango, and ran to were Jaken was. She was sad and wanted to stay with Sango, but she was sure Sesshoumaru was not going to wait for her.
"Woman, if you really want to know why I am looking for that kid, I will tell you. . ." Sesshoumaru turned to face Sango
"I will kill him" he said with an evil look. . . He wanted to show the woman WHO was in charge. That woman, she had the nerve to challenge HIM.
Rin stopped shocked when she heard this, then just smiled sadly (I knew he was going to kill Kohaku, I did). . . She repeated in her thoughts as little tears crossed her face.
Sango. . . was upset, a lot. "And you really think that I'm just going to let you go and kill him!!" she ran, took her hiraikotsu from the floor, and rushed over Sesshoumaru. She wasn't thinking, she realized this when Sesshoumaru turned and attacked her. She fell on the grass.
"I am not waisting my time with you" He said with a calm, yet angry tone. He turned and kept walking.
Sango just raised herself. She felt that her body was getting warm, hot, from the injuries. Still, she raised, she walked, Kohaku was the important thing in here. (I wish Inuyasha was here, Sesshoumaru really is strong), she thought as she walked. Still, she hid her pain. She took her hiraikotsu one more time, and masked all of her pain with anger.
"I told you, I'm not letting you leave!!" she raised her weapon ready to attack.
In a second Sesshoumaru was standing in front of her, holding her hand, stopping any move she could think of. His eyes staring right at her.
"why. . . do you care so much about this kid? You said you didn't knew where he was. . . what DO you know about him?" Sesshoumaru was starting to show his curiosity, a human wouldn't normally attack with such injuries, and yet, the woman continued. He wanted to know the reason.
Sango gave a defiant look. "I won't tell you, I don't have to tell you" (If he's going to kill me, at least I can leave him with the doubt)
Then she was thrown to the floor by Sesshoumaru. "Very well, then" He said with a very noticeable anger, the woman was crossing the line, but Rin was still there. He would have kill the woman if it wasn't for Rin.
Sango stared at Sesshoumaru, she had no strength left, but he was going to kill Kohaku, and she couldn't just let him go. Kohaku was the only thing that she had, and Sesshoumaru was looking for him.
Sesshoumaru kept walking until he felt the woman's tight grip around his waist. She really wasn't trying to fight anymore, just stop him. She at least had to try, but she had no force left.
"Can you really find Kohaku?" Sango's said in a very low voice, "You probably detected the scent, his scent, in the mask." She was starting to cry, because she knew what she had to do, and she didn't like it, at all.
(My friends, they are searching for Naraku, I am too, but. . . I do it so that I can save Kohaku. . . and he, Sesshoumaru, he is looking for Kohaku, just for him. He, is going to find Kohaku before us, and if that happens. . . he will kill my brother). She tighten the grip. (I should. . . stay with this demon, and when he finds my brother I'll kill him, save Kohaku, and return to my village)
Sesshoumaru didn't answered. He just removed the woman from his body, he was getting tired of her. He started to walk. If the woman dare to interrupt him, he would forget Rin was there and just kill the woman.
Sango stood there for a second, fighting with herself. Then she started to walk.
They were already getting away, when Rin turned to see Sango for the last time.
Rin's eyes glowed when she saw the woman walking toward them. "Look Sesshoumaru-Sama, neechan wants to come with us". She said clapping and with a smile on her face.
A small growl escaped from Sesshoumaru, he was getting used to people following him.
