Author's notes: So, here I go again. See for more references in scroll 1. My grammar is a shame. English isn't my native language. Review me and made Misao-CG happy!

Scroll #3:
"The girl who punched my nose."
I, Sesshomaru, didn't saw THAT coming.
This girl DARES to punch me. She punched me on my dear nose!
"LET ME GO!." She yells.
Certainly, I let loose my grip on the girl's arms, mainly because of the eerie sharp pain in my nose, which I'm holding right now. I think I'm bleeding. No. I, Sesshomaru, am bleeding!.
THUD
WHACK
I, Sesshomaru, got a nosebleed? WHAT in SEVEN HELLS…? No youkai had dared to make me bleed… well, maybe my half brother, but that was a fluke.
This Girl Provoked me a NOSEBLEED!
"Master? Are you all right?." Asked Jaken in concern.
"I will be in a few minutes." I say, preparing my claws.
Just as I thought. Jaken knocked the girl as I released her, and now her body is limp on the ground. Pathetic mortal. I was planning to keep her alive long enough until she helps me with my girl's fever, but NO: she had DARE to punched me. Punched Me In My Precious Nose!
And I didn't saw THAT Coming! I Didn't Knew That My Nose Was That Tender!. Grrrrr! I kick the girl's body and raise my claws, poison dripping already. Only one swing and there will be no girl…
WHACK
Huh?… Great. A protective ward. Hate those. What to do? What to do? I don't have Rin here to remove it.
Why this human artifact didn't work when I kicked her? Or when I grabbed her arm?. Hmpf. Ward or not, she is going to get it. Maybe this happen to give the opportunity to torture her…
She is moving. Feh. Stronger then I first thought. I, Sesshomaru, crack my knuckles.
"Don't bother yourself, master: I'm going to finish the girl."
"Stop. After we talk."
I grab the girl by her collar and toss her to a tree. She falls and starts to touch the ground around her frantically: she is very scare. And she looks confuse that way. Her pathetic hands touch the tree and use him to help herself to stand up. I grab her by her collar once again and pin her against the same tree.
"That was a mistake!." I, Sesshomaru, growl.
KICK!
DAMN MORTAL! I didn't saw THAT COMING EITHER! THAT HURTS LIKE A LIVING HELL!.
Hell pain or not, I, Sesshomaru, am not going to loose her this time. She has to learn not to kick… at least until her imminent death.
"… let me go… or… or…" She whispers, gripping her hands around my arm, which is still pinning her to the tree.
This Mortal had managed to hit me twice. She had managed to made me bleed and draw tears from pain. She will not live to tell that. I, Sesshomaru, growl enrage.
"Or what?." I, Sesshomaru, asks. After a moment of silence, I add. "What are you doing!."
This girl is DEAD. The insolent mortal is trying to reach my face. I let her go, but I grab her again and hold her against my body to force her to remain still. She is somehow intelligent: she got the message and stops her struggling.
She stay still. She is a thin little thing. She feels like a scare bird in my arms. Feh. I can squash her whenever I want. What a thin girl!. I had never imagined before such a thin human in my life. I don't even need to put any pressure to maintain her still!.
"Let me go!."
"After what you have done to me? No."
"I had no use to you! I'm just a mortal, a useless one! Let me go and don't bother with the likes of me!." She says as a matter of fact.
I got to gave her some credit: at least she knows her place in the Nihon ecosystem. I shake my head.
The memory of Rin lying near the springs, having feverish dreams hit my head suddenly… by the way: she is alone.
"Jaken. Go to check on Rin."
"Hai, master."
"And you."
"Let me go or I'll scream!." She says… Feh. She isn't scare anymore.
"And what use you see in that? None is going to help you."
"My house is close. And Isao-sama is staying with us! He will hear me scream and he'll come in my aid, just like my parents."
"So?."
"He is a skilled monk." She says, hoping to scare me. How Pathetic.
"So?."
"Aren't you afraid, beast?."
Did she call me beast?. As I said before, this girl is weird: a moment ago I could smell her fear, and now, I, Sesshomaru, am smelling her anger. How amusing.
"No. Should I?." The girl starts her struggling again.
"You Pathetic Beast! Let Me Go! Or Kill Me For The Best!. Whatever You Do, DO IT FAST!."
Mortal girl with guts. A rare kind.
Rin. I'm worried.
I, Sesshomaru, turn her in her heels to face her better.
"Why You Hasn't Kill Me Yet? Or Are You Scare Of Doing Such Thing? That's Why You Didn't Kill Me Yesterday Night?."
This insolent wench is getting to my nerves now!.
"SHUT UP!." I growl. "I Need You To Answer Some Questions!."
"BEG ME TO!."
"You are in no position of demanding things."
"Still… BEG ME TO!."
I ignore her. This is giving me a headache. Anyways, here I come.
"How do you treat a fever?."
"¡…!"
"How Do You Treat A Fever?." I insist.
"A fever?… you mean, a fever… like a real fever. A Fever!."
Now, I can smell curiosity. I've had heard before about human or youkai females with often change of moods. This is the first time that I face those.
"Don't play with me."
"Is the child you were carrying last night?. What Are You Planning? Bring her back to health, to eat her later?." She asks… half in concern, half in anger.
"First of all, I, Sesshomaru, don't eat humans, that's despicable; second, answer me!."
"Do you try bathe the girl in cold water?." She asks randomly.
"And do you want to get her cold? The Water In The River Is Freezing." I say as a matter of fact.
"And Do You Want Her To Die For A Mistreat Fever?." Once again, she is anger.
"…"
"…"
"What else?."
"What else what?."
"The cold. How do I scare the cold away."
"You Moron! You can't scare a cold!… Give her chicken soup, keep her warm, dry and give her a lot of water to drink! Are You Limitate Or Something? Or you don't know how to take care of your own little beast?."
"Stop tempting your luck, mortal!."
This mortal and that pitiful excuse for a half brother of mine, are the only ones that insulted me this much… and survive this much…
Rin-chan needs me.
"See if I care! I'm going to get murder by you anyways!."
I pick up the mortal and carry her to the springs like a sack of potatoes. She keeps complaining the whole way, hitting my back in the process, like that is going to hurt me. I see Jaken in the shore… but… where is Rin?.
Grrrrr! That TOAD!
He is trying to drown her!
I drop the insolent wench without much care and rush to Jaken's side. I kick him on the head and took Rin out of the warm water. She coughs after I, Sesshomaru, get the water out of her lungs. Still coughing, and still with a high fever, she looks at me and fall asleep… I glare at Jaken.
"You better had a DAMN good explanation for this!." I growl VERY anger, but trying to keep my composure.
"Master, forgive me!." The toad say, bowing, face touching the ground. "I was helping Rin! The Fever Is Too High And she is not going to make it! I didn't want her an extra pain…"
"Not good enough!."
A solid rock hits Jaken head with an amazing aiming.
"And What Do You Think She Is? An Ill Pet?." Says the girl enrage.
My mistake: this is a WEIRD mortal.
I, Sesshomaru, raise a brow as I watch Jaken and the insolent argue about Rin's welfare. I hear my girl's coughing again and look down to her. She is not fine and this is breaking my heart.
Wow. I actually got a heart!.
I'll be damned is someone know that!… but I can help it.
I look to the insolent and to the toad again. I stand up, kick my foolish retainer in the head for good, and get close to the girl. She stands up, holding herself on a tree, looking to nowhere. I watch to Jaken.
I, Sesshomaru, got an idea. I came up with the perfect way of torturing the girl and take care of my girl at the same time. I walk to the girl and stand in front of her, giving one of my famous death glares.
"Guess what, Jaken: I find a Babysitter."
"Master? What do you mean?." He asks curious.
The insolent backs off, in fear. I let my girl in the vines of the tree and grab the girl's wrists. She starts to struggle, in a puny attempt of defending her freedom. I force the girl to face me. She is crying… but…
What the hell?…
"You just got your life's span a little bit increased." I say. "You'll care my girl until she recovers… and if she don't…"
"No, no, no, no, no, lemme go!." She says in tears. "I, Mikami, will be a terrible, terrible babysitter, believe me, please, I had no use to you, I'm completely worthless, And I Mean That! Trust Me!."
"No, you will not: as long as you want to keep your body whole, you will be a good nurse…"
This mortal is a piece of a mortal. The sun is above us and no matter that, she seems unaffected by it. Must be a side effect of my frightening presence.
No. There is something else. Her eyes… aren't moving or twitching to the light… Her eyes aren't catching any light at all…
That means…
To be continued.
