Chapter 3

We're leaving?

Sesshomarus eyes widened as she spoke to him. Angels? What

was she talking about. Right now Sesshomaru had only one goal. Find out

about her and get her back home so she didn't have to polute his air with

her retched human stench.

He immediatly slaped hiself for saying that. He had to correct

himself. Her smell was anything but retched. Infacted it was the best scent

he had ever encountered, but he wasn't about to admit that to anyone.

especialy the woman.

"Your name. What is your name woman?"

He spoke; his voice was cold and harsh. The woman tilted her

head and her eyes narrowed as if she was wondering something.

"My name is Rin."

Her voice was slightly high-pitched and soft. Before Sesshomaru

could as her about which village she was from she sat up in bed and raised

her head diffiantly.

"What shall I call you, demon?"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her and grabbed her throught

slamming her against the headboard. Rin raised an eyebrow like that didn't

bother her.

"Know your place human. never disrespect this Sesshomaru!"

Rin smiled as Sesshomaru let her slip out of his grasp.

"I know my place. And I am no less alive than you are so don't

you dare berate me."

Sesshomaru glared at her. How could she disrespect him like

this? He was Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands. Sitting up straight

she sighed and looked up at him.

"So I guess your called Sesshomaru?"

"I am Sesshomaru Lord of the Western Lands."

Rin smiled and threw back the sheets that covered her only to f

ind that she was completely stark naked. She shreiked and threw them

back on top of her. Sesshomaru smirked inwardly, but kept on his

emotionless face.

"A servent will be in here with a new kimono for you soon."

Sighing Rin nodded and slouched down. She looked

Sesshomaru up and down. Sesshomaru couldn't figure out for the life of him

why this woman was so unafraid of him. Infact she showed no fear at all.

Instead she showed bravery.

The thing that realy got him though was the way her whole body

seemed to flushed when she pulled the sheets away from herself. He had

to admit she had a lovely body.

The tension seemed to build between them as the minutes

passed. Sesshomaru had stayed in her room even though he had other

buisness to attened to. Finaly after ages of silence the servent, Keira,

came to the door way and bowed pulling back the curtain. Sesshomaru

nodded to her .

"Come in Keira. Dress her and escort her to the dinning hall."

Sesshomaru stood and left the two in the room. Keira walked in, never looking up. She placed the kimono on the bed and looked up to Rin.

"Your kimono, Rin-sama"

Rin was shocked to say the least. She had never before been

adressed so formaly and it confused her a bit. She took the kimono from

Keira and couldn't help but notice the girl looked releived.

"Why do you look like you have just been granted life in shackles

and not the death penalty?"

Keira looked up with a confused expression and than spoke. Her

voice was horse and deep.

"I...," She cleared her throught,"...I thought I was to dress you."

Rin smiled softly at the timid slave. She pulled herself from the

sheets of the futon and wrapped the kimono around herself; tieing it around

the waist. She walked to Keira and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I can very well dress myself. Please, do not adress me so

formaly. Just call me Rin."

Keira smiled and Rin found great joy in seeing it. Than Keira

tilted her head in the direction of the door. It was ment as a fallowing sign. I

stopped her and my eyes narrowed with curiosity.

"Keira...why is it so hard for you to speak now?"

"Lord Sesshomaru does not like us to speak. He keeps a quiet

household."

Rin nodded and walked out with her. As she stepped in to the

hall way she saw portraits and hangings and scrolls on the walls. She was

amased by how Sesshomaru had come to gain these things.

The more she walked the louder the silence became. She sighed

loudly and Keira noticably flinched. She must have been telling the truth

than. This castle must be full of servents who are used to dead silence.

How horrid was that. They probably never her the beuty of song

before either. She would have to sing to them in the slaves chambers one

day. There was no way she was going to stay in this house long with out

music. Than again she wasn't going to be staying here anyways.

She still had to find her daughter. Kami help her if anyone

touched her daughter. They would die a thousand deaths. Than as they

neared the dining area her thoughts lead her Tomahome.

They hadn't been close emotionaly, just physicaly. Rin was

paining because of Kia and Toma was just as lonely without a mate. They

had met and things got way to out of hand. The first encounter caused

Miaka and the second, she didn't yet know.

Shaking the thought of Toma out of her head she saw

Sesshoamru sitting at a rather long table. She sat and looked straight at

him. She placed her hands in her lap and narrowed her eyes.

"When will I be set free to find my daughter."

"You will not be. I will be acompanying you on your search."

Rin was utterly and completely confused now. Why was he

offering her help? There had to be some kind of catch. She had to owe him

something in return. Than she asked the question that had been nagging

her.

"Why did you save me from Kia?"

Sesshomaru stood. He didn't know the answer to that question

so he wouldn't say a thing. Quickly he made his way to her and spoke.

"Be ready. We will be leaving at new light."

Rin nodded and watched him turn and dissapear in to the hall.

She couldn't shake this feeling that her daughter was being hurt some

where. It made her eyes sting with the need to cry.


"Inuyasha...lets get going I don't sence any shards."

Inuyasha stood stalk still. He had caught the scent of a half

demon. Normaly he wouldn't of cared inless they had a shard, but in this

one he could feel the half demons pain. He turned toward Kagome.

"Kagome, come with me."

He bent his knees and Kagome climbed on him. In a flash they

were off. They were getting closer he could scent it out among the village

below. The smell of blood asaulted him and he landed right infront of a verry

young looking girl.

He could immediatly tell she was the half demon he had

scented. She looked frightened and she spoke one word over and over

again.

"Don't...don't..."

Kagome shimmied off of Inuyasha's back and slowly made her

way to the girl. She held out her hand and smiled.

"Hello there. I'm Kagome... whats your name?"

The young demon looked up at her and whispered so softly

Kagome barely herd it.

"Miaka..."

Kagome smiled brightly as the girl placed her small hand in her

bigger one.

"What a beautiful name. What are you doing out here all by

yourself?"

"My daddy hurt me and left me here. He said mommy wouldn't

come for me."

Kagome's eyes widened and she scooped the little girl in her

arms. There was no way she was going to let this girl stay by herself. She

looked to Inuyasha who in turn sighed, but said nothing.

Kagome took that as an 'bring her along' and climbed on his

back, the little safely held. They made there way back to Songo and

Miroku. Once they arrived they had to figure out what to do with this little

one.
