Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha....*sigh*.... you know how many times
I've said that?
Choice Winner: ~They hear Sesshomaru and Jaken and they see eachother. (I subtracted Rin for a reason) Whoop-dee-doo. On with the story!
Sango, Kagome and Rici all swam close to the shore to listen into the sounds. Rici picked up the sound of people talking and told the others to stop coming by holding her hand out of the water. She crept an few feet closer to figure out what they were saying.
"I telling you My Lord...we've passed this way before! Shouldn't we look for the human somewhere else?" a small squeaky voice asked.
"I swear she's been by here. I can smell her. Now stop protesting and continue looking." a deep threatening voice answered.
"Yes master." the little voice replied. Rici crept closer to the voices and was out of the water behind a rock when she heard them talk again.
"I heard something. Let's look over there." The deep voice commanded and the voices turned to footsteps. '...huh? Where did they go off to?' Rici thought and peeped up from behind the rock to see a white cloth drapped in front of her face. She was mystified by this and tugged at the cloth to find it was tied to a waist. She looked up and squealed.
"OI! HENTAI! Pervert get lost!" she said to the man standing above her. She quickly jumped in the water making a huge splash. Kagome and Sango sat up to keep the splash from drowning them. They all stared at a, now, wet demon with silvery blue hair and a spiky chest plate. His tail was draped over his shoulder like a bowa and his face marks made Rici cough a bit. The man smirked and stared down at the women who quickly put their bodies underwater to conseal themselves. They glared at the youkai who continued to look down at the trio.
"Waddya think you're doing spying on us! And still you're standing there just having a peachy time! Get outta here!" Rici yelled at the man who cocked an eyebrow. Kagome and Sango looked at eachother with wide eyes. 'Does she know who that is?' they both thought at the same time.
"Well? Leave already! You're stinking up the place! I can't beleive you smell so strong! You must be a pretty damn royal youkai to smell like that!" Rici continued while waving her hand in front of her nose. "Now go away and let us bathe in piece you perverted tai-youkai! Go to your expensive palace and hire someone esle to strip for you!" Rici finished and feeling pretty good about herself turned and swam toward the shore opposite of the youkai. (a/n: If you guys didn't know... tai-youkai means great demon or... in this case noble demon with lotsa money...) She began to crawl out when something long and fuzzy plucked her from the water. It wrapped around her exposing only her head and dangling feet. She growled and squirmed in the tight squeezing tail which brought her over to the youkai standing on the other side of the hotsprings.
"Waddya think you're doing! Lemme go!" she screeched and then gasped as the tail squeezed her tighter.
"How dare to you take to Sesshomaru-sama that way! You will pay for speaking to my master in that tone!" The little voice submerged from behind his 'master' and pointed a crooked little green finger at Rici.
"Eeew...! You're one ugly little sucker arn't you?" Rici said smirking and talking to the little green toad-like demon. His yellow eyes bulged at the comment and he started yelling a bunch of jibberish that made no sence. She tried to show the least bit of fear when the tail took her closer to the tai-youkai named 'Sesshomaru'. She gritted her teeth when the tail squeezed even harder on her nude body.
"So Sesshomaru huh? Could you let me go.. your kinda... *ack* SQUEEZING ME TO DEATH!" Rici coughed out as the tail squished her tighter. Sesshomaru grinned and took hold of her chin aiming her eyes right into his. Rici grimmaced and tried to avoid the stare that was killing her eyes. Sesshomaru squeezed her chin tighter along with wrapping him tail tighter around her, commanding her to look back into his eyes. "You know what-"
"Will you stop talking wench. It's getting you nowhere as you can see." he growled and lowered his tail to see her shoulders. "Hmmhmm... you laugh at my scent while yours is so small and insignificant. You don't even have a fourth mark yet. You have no right to laugh at me while I have many more than just three marks. It's your fault not mine." he smirked evily and sniffed her shoulder. Kagome and Sango were appauled at this but Rici acted as if it was a normal rutine. They only kept their mouths shut because they knew Rici could very well rip out of his grip on her, she just wasn't looking for a fight when she was naked. Once he was finished sniffing at her shoulder he whispered something only she could hear with her sensitive ears. Then he nipped her hard on the neck and her eyes widened in shock.
"WHAT?! HENTAI! ACK! GET OFF! RELEASE ME AT ONCE!" Rici shouted and wiggled quickly out of the tail. She jumped into the water and started rubbing at the wound, all the while muttering something about noble demons and how they think they can own everything and everyone. Then Sesshomaru wiped the sly smirk he had on his face away and stared down at the other two women.
"Now I'm not looking for a fight with my brother or you two. I want to know where someone is. Have you seen a little human girl lately?" he said in nearly a friendly way.
"N...no sir." Sango and Kagome stuttered at the same time.
"Fine then I should be on my way. Could you contact me if you see her?" he spoke again. 'This is way weird... why is he acting so nice?' Kagome pondered while Sango replied a 'yes sir' to the demon. Then he walked away with his henchman close at his feet, still muttering to himself. Once he was out of sight, Sango and Kagome glanced over to Rici who was still muttering curses under her breath.
"What did he say to you?" They questioned at the same time.
"Nothing...I'll tell you when we get back to the campsite... just hurry up I wanna get outta here!" Rici said and scrubbed faster.
***At the Campsite***
The girls were all squeaky clean when they returned from their bath. They came in quietly and sat down where they all were before. Inu Yasha's gaze rose from the fire to Rici who looked nervous and shaken up. She quickly grabbed up her pack and hopped up a tree that was just out of hearing distance from humans. She unpacked her blanket and some bread as she settled in the crook of the tree.
"What happened down there?" Inu Yasha spoke, just softly enough so that only a near by youkai could hear it.
"I really don't want to talk about it at the moment." Rici muttered and bit into the bread.
"Well you must tell me. I don't want to give you're secret away." Inu Yasha threatened.
"Please Inu Yasha... I've been embarassed enough for one night." she said and rubbed the scar on her neck open. She quickly covered it up to conseal the scent from Inu Yasha.
"What did you cut yourself on Rici?" Inu Yasha muttered. Kagome looked at Inu Yasha and it appeared to her that he was talking to himself. Then she looked up at Rici who was doing the same thing.
"Okay... what are you two talking about behind our backs?!" she shouted making Inu Yasha and Rici jump. Inu Yasha smirked and sat up from leaning against the tree.
"Rici has something she wants to tell us." he said looking up at her. She glared at him and hopped out of the tree.
"Inu Yasha... you have to be the most insensitive and completely pushy hanyou's I've ever met." She said and layed her blanket down. Then she sat on the blanket and told the two men what happened... leaving out the part about what Sesshomaru whispered.
"Yeah we know all of that... but what did he say to you?" Sango spoke after her long but short story.
"Nothing of interest." she said quickly and blushed a bit. "Now if you don't mind I would like to go to bed." she said and hopped the tree before anyone could notice the deep shade of red on her face. Inu Yasha leaned back against the tree again and began speaking secretly again. He didn't really mind the fact that it was Sesshomaru who was there because he didn't harm anyone.
"So what did he say... I could smell your embarassment. What did he do?"
"Nothing. Just go to bed okay?" she said and closed her eyes tightly, trying to force herself to sleep.
"Come on you can tell me."
"Oh can I? You've been a jerk to me ever since I came here." she said holding the blanket up to her neck. Realising that she was right, Inu Yasha said the one thing that he never really did say.
"I'm sorry okay? I'll try to be nicer. Now can you tell me?" Rici looked into the darkness above in the sky and then kicked her feet back and forth. She knew she was probably going to regret saying anything.
"Fine. He...he oh you're gonna laugh."
"I'll try not to. No promises but I'll try hard."
"He... he s... said that he could help me obtain my forth mark." she spat out.
"Really? SESSHOMARU SAID THAT?!" Inu Yasha said on the verge of laughing. '...Kami he musta been drunk or something...either that or I don't know him that well!' he thought and began to snicker to himself. Kagome looked over to him again and cringed in discust.
"You're STILL talking behind our backs?" she screamed.
"Strictly demon business. Nothing that you people NEED to know. Just random conversation. That's all no if's and's or but's. Now I'm going to bed." Inu Yasha said and with that, he layed down and closed his eyes.
'...Wow... so I guess I can tell him stuff...' Rici thought as she drifted into a lazy sleep.
***Sesshomaru and Jaken***
"Why were you talking that way to that girl back there? Don't think that I didn't hear you either." Jaken said still pissy about the 'ugly' remark.
"You know as well as I that I was only playing with her. It's hard to find a cocky little female youkai with only three stripes. You'd think she'd been layed already." Sesshomaru said while grinning to himself.
"Wha?! Are you serious?! You were thinking about that?! In all due respect Me Lord but isn't that a bit rash?" Jaken squaked and the tai-youkai looked down at him.
"Are you questioning my judgement?" he said, his voice like poison.
"No sir! Just voicing my opinion!" Jaken cowered beneath his master.
"Since when does anyone want your opinion?" He growled and stomped Jaken's head into the ground. Then the proud youkai began to walk away to find an area to resign for the evening. Jaken lifted head in great pain and looked over at his master.
"Wait for me Mi-Lord!" he cried and followed after Sesshomaru.
***Morning***
Sesshomaru awoke and sat up from his position against the tree. He heard something in the distance. He stood up and looked for the place in which the sound was coming from. He walk a bit closer and found it was the noise of someone moving around. He picked up his tail and perched it upon his shoulder. He walked closer to the sound. Out of nowhere, an arrow shot from the bushes in front of him. He caught it with ease and looked over to the bushes. He knew that the being who shot it was gone already.
He looked at the arrow intensly. It was very sharp with poison at the very edge. It was long and the feathers of an exotic bird were at the end opposite of the point. In the middle of the arrow was a note attatched to it. He unwrapped the note and threw the arrow aside. It read...
I have what you want.
You know very well what I'm talking about.
Meet me with the jewel shards a woman named Angie
posseses at sunrise two days from now at Sakura Peak
or the girl dies.
Okami
Sesshomaru's eyes widened at the very end sentence. '..and it's writen with blood...undoubtedly Rin's...' he thought and folded the paper, putting it inside his robes. He began to ponder where to find this 'Angie' that Okami spoke of. There is no other way to get Rin back. At least it would be an easy randsom. This 'Angie' doesn't sound too tough. Jaken stirred from his spot and sat up to see Sesshomaru in deep thought.
"What is troubling you master?" Jaken said cautiously. He was still getting the cold shoulder from last night's little 'argument'. Jaken kept his mouth shut so he wouldn't get hurt again. Sesshomaru kept staring out into the woods when he spoke in a sullen voice.
"Do you know of a woman named Angie?"
"Angie the dragon tamer? She lives in an old abandon castle with her sister Angel. She has the power of mind control and ... very powerful demon... why do you ask Me Lord?" Jaken asked timidly.
"She is our key to Rin."
