Chapter 2: The Medallion
"Lord Sesshomaru, what are you looking at?" Confusedly Rin asks, since she doesn't have a clue to what has happened.
Sesshomaru appears to be looking, with high curiosity, at the medallion.
"What is it?" Jaken has appeared from behind the tree, apparently looking for the medallion's owner.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin begins to worry, since Sesshomaru has said nothing.
Unexpectedly, he flings the medallion at the tree, pinning Jaken to it.
"Ahh, Master Sesshomaru, why?" Jaken unable to get down, begins to question his master's actions. "Is it on purpose, Is he trying to kill me, or is it to make me afraid?"
Sesshomaru turns, tired of listening to it all. Rin runs up to the tree, stands on tiptoe, and pulls out the medallion. She starts to wonder what it means, with it's words and four-pointed star shape.
"Jaken, is this something to do with magic?"
"No, it can't be, it looks more like a weapon."
Jaken returns to turning the star around in his hands, accidentally pricking himself on the edges. He stares at the blood coming from his hand, and back at the star.
Rin sees his hand and asks, "are the edges that sharp?"
Jaken doesn't reply.
"You're both wrong."
Rin gazes upward seeing Sesshomaru eyeing them. Jaken refuses to acknowledge his words.
"It's a crest."
"A crest? Like something to help remember something important?" Rin wonders what a crest means, since she has been an orphan for most of her life.
"No Rin, it's a symbol for rank or authority."
Jaken looks upward, "like a way of identifying magic users?"
"No, it's a way that lets others recognize that you are part of something important, a gang or a family."
"How do you know this?"
"I've seen it before, a long time ago."
Rin and Jaken look towards each other in confusion, mentally asking each other where Sesshomaru could have seen the star before.
So one more chapter down, and I'm not sure how many to go, In writing I'm about to finish chapter thirteen, but I must say the next chapter will hold your attention for a while, probably a short while but hey, one can only do so much. Well, now I'm off to go kill someone. See ya!
