I do not own InuYasha or any of the characters, Rumiko Takahashi does. I do however, own my character Kaze and all the other made up characters.

Lost Child

"Where are you, wench?" Kaze heard someone yell.

She sprang to her feet and started running again.

"Rin, where did you go off to?" a monotone voice called out.

"Where are you, wench?" Jaken screeched again, "Get back her, brat! This isn't funny!"

"Rin, come her, now!" Sesshomaru called once more.

"Stupid child!"

"Jaken, we'll split up and look for her. She can't be far."

"Yes, milord. I still don't understand why she has to tag along with us. She's just a nuisance. Why did you agree she could come with us in the first place?"

"Be quiet!" Sesshomaru barked casting Jaken an angry glare, "You go to the right, I'll take the left. If you find her, Jaken..."

"Yes, milord...?"

"Don't lose her again!" Sesshomaru said before taking off.

"Yes, milord," Jaken replied trembling.

-----

Kaze was exhausted now, but she knew she had to keep running. She was grateful now that she had eaten the food Kagome and the others gave her the previous evening, or she wouldn't have had this much energy to run.

Kaze felt she had lost them, and therefore decided to rest on a near-by log. It must have been one of the lord's guards back there yelling for me. I swear I'll never go back again! Even if they do find me, take me back and force me to marry that despicable man the lord calls his son, I'll kill myself the night before the wedding. How could you father...? How could you promise me to such a cruel, uncaring, perverted man? Kaze thought.

Kaze's thoughts were immediately disturbed by a near-by rustling of leaves.

As soon as Kaze was about to take off running once more, she heard a desperate scream of a child. The rustling was coming closer.

"HELP!!! SOMEONE, HELP!!!" the child screamed at the top of her lungs.

Suddenly, Kaze's heirloom sword began to pulse in her hand, begging her to unsheathe it. She unsheathed the sword as the sword asked her. Now how do I use it? I saw father use it once to protect me when I was young. What did he say again to call the swords power?

Suddenly, Kaze heard a whisper in her ear, "Shinzoo!" Her father had answered her question. His presence was with her. Thank you father. Kaze silently prayed.

I remember now! Kaze pointed the sword in the direction of the rustling. Suddenly a young girl with black hair with a small ponytail on the right side of her head, wearing an orange and yellow checkered kimono, bust out of the bushes, saw Kaze and her sword and ran behind her and clenched on to Kaze's kimono.

"What is your business with the child? Leave her alone!" Kaze bravely shouted.

"I shall not, woman. For I will devour her in front of her protector, then you, then her protector," the gigantic spider demon replied.

"She's done nothing to deserve such a fate, neither do I, nor does her protector!"

"Her protector is why I'm here. He has betrayed my master countless times. I won't allow it to happen again!!!"

"Lord Sesshomaru does not deserve to die yet!!!" Rin exclaimed, as she stepped forward.

"Stay behind me, little one. I shall destroy this demon!" Kaze extended her arm to its full length, closed her eyes, "SHINZOO!!!!" Kaze yelled as a burst of lavender and golden yellow sparks erupted from the blade of the sword. The sparks became a lavender beam and struck the demon's heart and the demon fell down to the ground to a pile of golden yellow dust. Kaze stared at her sword for a minute. I didn't think it would work for me. But it did. I must have inherited to ability from my father. Kaze sheathed her sword and turned around and knelt down in front of Rin.

"Why are you in the forest alone, little one?" Kaze asked taking the frightened Rin in her arms.

"I got lost. I ran too far away from my lord."

Kaze held and comforted Rin, until she felt a presence near-by. A presence was before her, accompanied by a small burst of air. She looked up and began to tremble, staring up at the tip of a sword's blade, held by a handsome young man with long white-blue hair, with golden-amber eyes. He was dressed in armor and wore attire only the wealthy could afford.

"Let her go!" Sesshomaru demanded.

"You must be her lord?" Kaze asked as she released Rin from her comforting arms.

Rin immediately ran to Sesshomaru and embraced his leg.

"That I am," he replied and then looked down at Rin, "Stand behind me, Rin."

"Have we met before?"

"No, we have not! I do not associate with humans. They are...beneath me!"

"What about the little one?"

"Silence..."

"InuYasha, it's..." Kaze began.

Sesshomaru stepped forward, "I am NOT InuYasha!" Sesshomaru exclaimed, holding Tokijin's blade an inch away from Kaze's neck.

"Forgive me..." Kaze whispered, "Then who are you?"

"I am the Lord of the Western Lands, Lord Sesshomaru. How dare you recognize me, Sesshomaru as that worthless half-breed, InuYasha!"

"You must be related to him somehow, you almost look identical."

"We are...unfortunately...half-brothers."

"Forgive me, milord," Kaze said as she bowed to him avoiding Tokijin's blade.

"What did you do to Rin?"

"Nothing, milord," Kaze replied still bowing to Sesshomaru, "She was..." Kaze replied beginning to cry from Sesshomaru's harsh interrogation."

"Silence...Whatever it was, it scared her. Whatever happened here...just now...you are to blame and it is unforgivable. Now...you...will die!"

"NOOOOO SEEESSSSSSHOOOOMARU-SAMAAA!!!" Rin screamed.

"But, milord..." Kaze begged.

"Silence!" Sesshomaru turned his attention to Jaken, "Jaken, take Rin back to camp. I won't be far behind."

"Yes, milord," Jaken said bowing to Sesshomaru, "Come, Rin."

Kaze didn't know what to do; Lord Sesshomaru was too powerful for her to handle, unlike the spider demon, whose powers were of less magnitude, she could not defeat Sesshomaru with the weak powers of her sword. So she accepted the fact she was about to die and prayed one last time. I will soon be off this miserable planet, where there is no place for me. She bowed her head slowly and awaited the fatal blow.

Sesshomaru prepared for the deadly strike. Suddenly, Rin ran out in front of him and in front of Kaze. Kaze looked up with her eyes.

"NO!!!" Rin replied as she hit Jaken to the ground, "STOP SESSHOMARU- SAMA!!!" Rin pleaded, "NO MILORD!!!"

"Rin, go back to the camp with Jaken. Don't disobey me!"

"NO!" Rin replied firmly.

"Do not interfere, Rin," Sesshomaru said before leaping to Kaze's side and prepared once more to execute the killing blow.

"NOOOOO SEEESSSSSSHOOOOMARU-SAMAAA!!!" Rin screamed at the top of her lungs, scaring near-by birds out of their nests.

Sesshomaru froze. He was shocked that Rin had behaved like this. Never had he seen her act this way before. He became frustrated and threw Tokijin to the ground in anger.

"Why should I not kill her, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, his back toward Rin.

"Because...because she saved me from a spider demon, who was chasing me. She defeated it with her sword."

Sesshomaru didn't know what to do, kill the young lady or spare her. Rin seems to have a liking to her. Might be good to have someone for Rin to stay with while I go search for my worthless brother.

"Sesshomaru-sama...?" Rin asked with worry.

"Milord...?" Jaken asked looking up at Sesshomaru's dazed face.

"I shall spare her...for now. Woman, you are now, and until further notice, pardoned. You shall be Rin's guardian, serving as my servant. Any more unforgivable acts like this...you...will die. Understand?" Sesshomaru said turning his back to Kaze and facing the direction of camp.

"Yes, milord," Kaze replied bowing to Sesshomaru once more before getting to her feet.

To be continued...
