A/N Alright, I have no life. My secrets out. Laugh at me all you want. I'm so completely bored that I've decided to add another chapter in the same day. Good for you: yes. Bad for me: double yes. Oh well. So here is the third chapter. Have fun.

Sesshomaru glanced over his shoulder to see the girl stir. She lay upon Ah-Uhn's back, next to Rin. Jaken squawked loudly. It had been two days since the incident. Sesshomaru had been waiting for her to awaken so he could speak to her about what he had seen. He had a gut feeling his brother's dead, human, wench had something to do with it.
"Sesshomaru-sama! I think the lady is waking!" Rin cried leaning over the girl. A groan of pain escaped her lips as she closed her eyes tighter. Light streaked in through her half cracked eyes.
"Rin, back away from her." said Sesshomaru calmly. Rin stepped back just as the girl's eyes shot open. Instantly she cried an animalistic cry of pain. She shot up, reopening the wounds on her wings. Blood soaked through her bandages. She slashed out for anything in reach, blinded by pain. After her thrash, she slowly came back to reality. She looked around at Rin, then Jaken and Sesshomaru. Quickly she stood on uncertain legs and hopped down from Ah-uhn's back. The impact caused her knees to give out and she hit the dirt hard.
"Calm down." Sesshomaru said coldly, watching her pant as she remained on her hands and knees.
"What do you want from me?" she said, her evenly cut bangs covering her eyes. Sesshomaru was taken aback by the question. He hadn't expected her to be so straight forward. Before he could answer Rin cut in,
"Lady please, you are bleeding! Let Rin bandage your birdie wings."
"Huh." breathed the young woman. She sat back on her knees. Her black eyes looked to Rin, who was holding fresh white bandages. She outstretched her wings exposing deep cuts, still dripping with poison. "Hai." whispered the girl looking to the ground in shame.
"Please lady, tell Rin what is your name." The girl looked up shocked for a moment. Then she looked of into the distance and smiled.
"My name..." She seemed to be day dreaming, when she suddenly looked at Rin with glazed over eyes. "I'm...Faith. Hmmm, ironic isn't it." She looked at Rin with a softness she hadn't spared on Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru instantly chewed over her words. He hoped he wouldn't have to confront her with questions because he didn't want to get to far involved. 'It's just curousity' he thought, numbly.
Rin walked to Faith and began to remove the tattered pieces of bloodied clothe from the shining, black, feathers. Sesshomaru wasn't even aware that Rin knew how to bandage anything. He was surprised by the level of gentleness she used. His thoughts were yet again, interrupted by Rin.
"Faith-sama, you will have to remove your overcoat." (A/N I don't know how to describe it. It's like Inuyasha's outfit, only black.) Faith nodded and took of the black overcoat. Her long-sleeved, under shirt was pure white and added to her surreal appearance.
"Please unspread your wings for Rin." said Rin as she unrolled the first bandage. Faith pulled her wings close to her body and cringed as the cuts were shifted. Rin wrapped the white bandages around her wings, one by one.
"Arigatoo" thanked Faith.
"You must be thirsty. We are nearing a stream soon." Sesshomaru stared deep into Faith's eyes, daring her to challenge him in her condition. Faith simply nodded and climbed painfully back onto Ah-Uhn's back. Sesshomaru turned and began down the dirt path again. He had to break into her and Rin's conversation. He had suddenly found himself focusing on her natural scent of rain and the scent of her fresh blood. He had to get them all moving again. 'I'll deal with her later.' he thought, but he couldn't help but feel the edge in his thoughts.
