Hey again. I only got one review! Come on ppl I hope this story isn't that bad! lol please R&R again.

By the time Inuyasha had gotten back to camp Rain was long gone. "Why didn't you try to stop her?!" He yelled to Sango.

"Believe me, we did, but she said we didn't want her around anymore. I told her that wasn't true, but she said she didn't want you to be more mixed up in your love life than you already were," Sango replied.

Inuyasha sighed amd sat down. Well she was right- he should be with Kagome, but what about Kikyou? Deep inside he knew she had the same feelings for him.

Rain wandered toward a village of some sort. There she saw a young girl being beaten by villagers. She hid in the forest, then she saw the girl wander off. Quietly she followed the girl. She wanted to make sure she didn't get into trouble. Then she saw her trying to give a piece of fish to a demon of some sort but he refused to eat it. Then he spoke.

"Who else is there?"

'Crap!' Sachiko thought. She wandered out of the bushes near the demon. Now that she was closer, she saw how handsome he was. She shook her head to get rid of the blush.

"Are you another ningen that has decided to bother me?" he asked.

"No uh sir. I'm one-fourth neko youkai. How were you injured?" she had no idea what to say to him.

"My baka half-brother Inuyasha did this to me," he said looking away. The girl had left.

She moved cautionly and sat next to him. "I know him," she said looking at the ground. He used to love my mother, but she left this era years ago. He claims he loves me, but I told him that his friend Kagome felt that way about him. Well Kagome got mad at me and said she never wanted to see my face again so I ran into the forest."

"Do you consider him a friend?"

"To tell you the truth I have no idea."

"...Tell me girl what is your name?"

"Rain. May I ask of yours?"

"I am Sesshoumaru, Lord of the West," he said sighing. He was very tired. A thought struck him. Why not use this girl? If only his strength would return...

'Kami he's a Lord!' Rain thought. "Oh my. Well Lord Sesshoumaru do you wish for me to leave?"

"No stay. Rain...did you ever see Inuyasha's sword?"

"No, I'm sorry. He always told me to leave when he fought others. He knew I didn't have any fighting talents so he sent me miles away."

"Then no wonder I didn't see you. Rain is your mother's name by any chance Kaida?"

"Hai, did you know her?"

"No, but when I was young, I often heard Inuyasha talk about her. That was long ago. I would have never guessed I would meet up with her daughter that was not Inuyasha's. Who is her mate?"

"My father who is a full human. His name is Ryu."

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" said a voice. Sesshoumaru and Rain both turned to see a creature.

"Jaken..."

"My lord where have you been? Who is this woman?" Jaken said turning to Rain.

"Her name is Rain, and fool I'm injured."

"Can you move, my lord?"

"I've been here for days so I might," Sesshoumaru responded.

With his strength Sesshoumaru got up. "Jaken...I smell blood over there."

"Do you wish to go there?" Jaken asked, but Sesshoumaru had already left with Rain close behind.

"How sad, killed with a single chomp," Jaken said looking at the girl. Rain slightly bowed.

Sesshoumaru drew out his sword and swung it above her. Rain and Jaken both looked confused, but the girl came back to life. She smiled as Sesshoumaru gave her a slight hug. Rain smiled, but Jaken had no idea what was going on. How had he done it, and why?

When they arrived at Sesshoumaru's castle, Sesshoumaru went to lie down. The girl had started to speak, and her name was Rin.

Jaken showed Rain her new room. Rin's room was right next to hers. Rin was an angel. She was a happy girl that had just had a bad life.

"Rain, come play with Rin!" Rin said. Rain smiled and followed Rin outside.

Sesshoumaru looked out his window and saw Rain and Rin playing some sort of game. Rain...how could he use her? She could get closer to Inuyasha, and find more about his sword. He decided with a little training, she could help him. Since she was human, she would be able to hold the Tetsugia with no problem. That would give him time to find another human arm and a jewel shard in order to help him hold it. Rain did look just like her mom from what he remebered. He wondered why he hadn't met up with her sooner. Rain's personality was different though. Sesshoumaru could almost feel sadness in her heart somehow. Maybe something happened to her. Well why was he worrying about her? She was barely demon. He couldn't believe that he had saved Rin, too. He hated humans. He would find something out at dinner.

Sesshoumaru didn't have human food, but Rin and Rain both enjoyed the food his servants cooked. "Rain I was wondering if you would like to train to become a fighter for a short period of time."

Rain couldn't refuse. After all he was letting her stay here. "Yes I will help you, my lord."

"See me after dinner in my room, then."

"Master why train her? She is barely a demon!" Jaken said.

Rain's eye twitched. She took slight offense to that. Baka youkai. "Jaken quiet or you're tommorow's lunch." Sesshoumaru said.
Jaken opened his mouth to say something, but closed it. Not another word was said by Jaken or Sesshoumaru. Rin talked to Rain, and she answered all of her questions patiently.

After dinner Rain followed Sesshoumaru up to his room, and sat down on his bed. "Rain I will start training you in a few days. I still need to rest some more. In the meantime play with Rin, and if that baka Jaken gives you any trouble tell me."

Rain giggled, "Ok."

"I want you to go back to Inuyasha and find more about his sword. His sword is the Tetsugia. I want you to find out where he plans to go to find his next jewel shard. During the night I want you to steal the Tetsugia and bring it back here. Understood?"

Rain nodded.

"I cannot touch the Tetsugia because it repels demons, so that is why I want you to also steal a jewel shard. I will take it from there. Rain may I ask you something?"

"Anything," she replied.

"I sense that your heart is depressed. I don't mean to barge, but why are you sad?"

Rain was shocked. How could he sense the heart? Maybe it was evident in her scent. "Well all my life I've been locked up in the attic of my house. My mother did love me-I think-but my father didn't want to be seen with me. Mother wasn't allowed out of the house much either, but she looked more demon than me. I thought it was unfair, but then one day when father and mother left, I discovered the door unlocked. I roamed around the house and found his journal. He wrote so many times that he hated me and was losing the passionate love he had for my mom. I put it back where I found it, and went up to my room, and sat down by the window. They came up and told me mother was pregnant, and that's why she hadn't been up to see me lately. She said with the help of technology, her newborn would be a full human, and that they didn't want me anymore. So they sent me to this era hoping I would die." Rain was almost in tears.

'Poor girl,' Sesshoumaru thought. He resisted to hug her and let her cry in his arms yet it seemed the right thing to do. "Listen Rain, don't let that get in the way of things. You're a strong person inside and outside you just don't know it yet. You may go now," he said. She nodded.

"Thank you, my lord," Rain said leaving. Sesshoumaru smiled. Everything was going according to plan.

Well no one really likes no one...yet. Rain does think Sesshoumaru is hot, though! xD who doesn't? lol
