Chapter three.
Sesshormaru stepped into the cramped little apartment with Rin in behind him. Jaken was hidden out in the hallway in a large sack which supposedly contained Sesshomaru's personal affects.
"Oh, why does Lord Sesshomaru feel such shame in having me as a squire?" Jaken wondered as he sat in the sack and sulked. "He says that I can't be seen out in public because of my appearance, but what does he really mean by that?"
"Silence." Came his lord's voice from outside and then Jaken felt a swift but gentle kick through the cloth. "I believe that this domicile will be sufficient." Sesshomaru told the Realtor and handed her a sack of gold coins. "This should cover the cost of the apartment." The Realtor looked at him for a second and then counted the coins in the pouch.
"I most certainly will." The Realtor said then pulled out the paperwork. "I just need your signature on these papers." Sesshomaru signed the papers and then the Realtor took her leave. With the gold coins he'd given her, she could retire.
"Jaken, you can come out now." Sesshomaru told him then kicked the bag again. The little green screeching creature came out of the sack and stood teary eyed before his master.
"Lord Sesshomaru, why did you kick me?" He asked.
"You were making noise, and I can't afford for you to be seen in this modern age. They don't have such creatures as you here. Or haven't you noticed that none of your kin have survived into these turbulent times of piece. Your kind thrive in the era of wars when there are plenty of souls to restrain. Now though, there are no more wars, and there are none of your kind left either."
"Truly me lord?" Jaken asked. "Are there none of my kin to be found here?"
"It is true." Sesshomaru said. "They most likely were killed off ages ago." This deepened Jaken's despair. He hated the thought of moving to his backwards time but to hear that now he was the only one of his kind left in the whole world, his spirit dropped into a pit of deep depression. Meanwhile Sesshomaru and Rin had gone into the apartment and were setting up. First off Sesshomaru's swords had to be hidden in a safe place. Rin went to work on that immediately. She dragged the heavy swords inside with the rest of their things. They didn't have much but what they did have was tucked neatly way from prying eyes.
"Lord Sesshomaru," Rin asked. "Where will I sleep?" She asked him. He smiled at her then led her into the bedroom where there was a large bed.
"Here." He replied. "Jaken and I will be busy most nights so you will sleep here." Rin laughed as the climbed up on the bed and jumped around on the mattress.
"Oh, but what will we be doing me lord?" Jaken asked, coming into the room.
"What we have always done to support ourselves. I will kill for a living and I know that there are plenty of people in this day and age who are looking for private assassins. This may be the modern age, but underneath it's metal frame and glass exterior it is still the same old Japan."
The End? No, A New Beginning.
