A/N Fasten your seat belts kiddies! Time for the emotionally twisted, demented, disturbed, etc.. chapter. everything you know has been a lie! Mwhaaaaaaaaaaa... aaa..ah. l:( anyway,

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except Faith, so if you wanna sue someone go find wacko jacko.

A devilish smirk erupted across Faith's pale features. "Glad you like it." Sesshomaru remained calm on the outside, yet inside his 6th sense was hay wire. Something wasn't right. She wasn't the angry, confused, girl he had watched stumble across the clearing. Her eyes held a tormented pleasure that was unnatural in every aspect. "Thought you were smart leaving me with that old friend of yours, didn't you?"

"Sad to see you've gained no manners." Sesshomaru said quietly trying to calm her down with prodding. She stood up straighter and flashed him a pearly, fanged, smile.

"You wanna see manners, baby?" she joked cruelly. She moved gracefully over to were Rin stood paralyzed in the snow. "What's wrong Rin, darling, aren't you glad to see me?" She crouched down and looked deep into Rin'd large eyes.

"Please stop it, Faith-sama. You are scaring Rin." Rin's eyes were glazed over and quivering.

"Don't be afraid of me. I'm your old buddy. Now be a good girl and come here." Faith eyes glistened and sesshomaru hoped Rin would notice her change. Rin stumbled in the snow, but got up and began her attempt to scramble away.

With lightening speed, Faith shot her hand out and grabbed Rin by the scuff of her kimono. She then stood erect and turned to sesshomaru holding Rin close to her chest. "Looks like you got what you wanted." She rested her head on Rin's shoulder as Rin whimpered in fear.

"Now I'm just like you Sesshomaru. Unloveable" She tilted her head in mocking concern. She lifted up her free hand and cracked her elegant fingers. She pressed one against Rin's neck drawing a line of crimson blood. "Such a pity, how easily their skin is torn." Rin cried in pain.

"Don't touch her." Sesshomaru said coldly.

"What's wrong? Don't like people touching your women?" She looked deep into his eyes and showed him no pity. Faith quietly set down the terrified child and looked down into her brown eyes, that brimmed with tears.

"Listen to me Rin," she commanded softly. "Run into the woods and don't stop. When I'm done here I'm gonna hunt you down. I will kill you. I love a good chase before my kills." If it were possible, Rin's eyes would have gotten wider. Faith elegantly outstretched her hand and pointed to the woods. Rin scrambled blindly into the vast expanse of tree's, crying loudly.

"Are you enjoying this as much as I am?" she stated turning, bluntly, to Sesshomaru.

"What do you want?" he said, mirroring her old words. she jumped up into the air, outstreching her, white painted, wings. They didn't flap like a birds, but instead gave her an unearthly appearance.

"You don't understand." she lazily examined her claws. "I would not have returned, had it not been for your foolish pride. I will not kill you now. Nor, will I kill Rin. As for Jaken and Ah-Uhn, I have no concern. I shall, however, leave you with this promise. I will watch you die, bloodied and dirtied on the hard earth. You shall no longer resemble royalty. No pride, but no fear. Just you."

Sesshomaru stood calmly listening to her speech. "So its my pride that has caused you such hate." She looked at him and scowled.

"No, for hate is an emotion, and while I portray them, I have none. Though i suppose once I kill you, they shall return, for they are necessary for life." she smirked her now trade-mark smirk and softly lowered to the ground. "see you later... love" she added over her shoulder as she took off down into the opposite direction Rin went.

Sesshomaru remained in the now falling snow. Her image seemed to fade into the forest like an illusion. "Jaken, go fetch Rin"

'Faith, your strong, but not that strong. Try to kill me, if you may. But enough with the mind games, you coward.' he then felt a soft wind blow across his cheek, almost as if caressing it.
