TheyMet 'Happily' Thanks To Rin

She laid back in the grass, starring that the brilliant blue sky. It was a warm sunny afternoon and she felt the need to relax. The clouds drifted overhead and she smiled to herself, her life was easy, slowly her eyes closed and she shut out the world.

"Kira-sama, do you think it's wise to be here out in the open?"

She sighed, opening her eyes, her friend Meiko stood looking down on her. Meiko's cat ears stood out on her head, she was a neko youkai, pretty but deadly. Right now she looked irritated about Kira's decision for a resting place.

"Meiko, it's nice out here and besides there is nothing that can happen," said Kira lazily, she yawned, "if you're so worried just go check out the area for yourself!"
"Kira-sama, what am I going to do with you?" sighed Meiko, she started to walk away but added loudly, "Sometimes you can be so baka!"

"I heard that!" snapped Kira, she only heard the sound of Meiko's chuckles drifting father away. Suddenly, she felt quite vulnerable, Maybe Meiko-san is right, maybe this isn't such a good spot. Ah, but feel the breeze. Well I guess I could stay out a little longer…

Kira yawned and stared at the sky again, Meiko better come back soon. Hey…that cloud looks a little like her except fatter! She continued to stare but her eyes become droopy and she started falling asleep.

"Hajimemashite,"

"Huh?" Kira's eyes opened and she noticed a littler girl starring at her. The girl was no older then six or seven and she had messy black hair with a little pony-tail on the side of her head, "Oh, um, Douzo Yoroshiku! What's your name?"

The little girl sat down, "Rin…"

Kira smiled, running her hand through her long ebony hair, "Rin, that's a beautiful name. My name is Kira."

"Domo arigato Kira-chan! Rin think's you're very pretty too!" the little girl grinned a huge toothy grin. Kira laughed.

"Do you want to watch clouds with me?" asked Kira, Rin cocked her head to the side in response, "Have you ever done cloud watching before?"

"Iie," replied Rin, "What is it?"

"Well you lie down and watch the clouds and see what kind of pictures they make," said Kira, "You see that one up there, and it looks like a cat right?"

"Hai!" smiled Rin, "Rin will play with Kira-chan!" Rin quickly laid down beside Kira and they started to watch the clouds together, Rin happily telling Kira stories.

"Rin? Are you lost? A little girl like you shouldn't be alone out there. There are lots of bad youkais!" said Kira after the fifth time she spotted a cat cloud, she was puzzled at why this little girl was all alone.

"Rin went to pick flowers for Sesshomaru-sama but got lost. Can Kira-chan help Rin find Sesshomaru-sama and Jaken-sama?" the little girl said quietly.

"Sesshomaru!"

Kira looked up, Meiko was back but her face was stark white.

"Kira-chan who is this?" said Rin tugging the sleeve of Kira's hatori.

"Rin, this is Meiko-chan!" she said and then turned to Meiko, "What is it? What's wrong?"

"Kira! Do you not remember who Sesshomaru is!" snapped Meiko looking outraged.

"Ano…iie," said Kira sadly, "Who is he?"

Meiko looked dumbfounded, after a few moments she managed to regain her composure and sit down beside Kira before starting slowly, "Sesshomaru-sama is the taiyoukai of the Western Lands. Which we happen to trespassing through!"

"NANI!" screamed Kira, she jumped up, "You're joking!"

"Why would I joke about something such as this!" snapped Meiko.

"BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! How can I be such a fool! Arghh!" cried Kira, while slapping her head.

Rin just sat there starring at the two of them, "Does Sesshomaru-sama scare you?"

"Iie, Rin," said Kira gently after slapping her head again, "It's something else. Now will Sesshomaru-sama be looking for you?"

"Ano…Hai…Rin's not sure," said Rin scratching her head.

"Kira, what are we going to do? If he finds us…with his ward…" squeaked Meiko.

"Hai, hai, I know!" snapped Kira, she paused for a moment, "Okay Meiko. Go to the next village and wait for me there. It's nearby. We saw it on our way here. I'll stay with Rin till someone comes and gets her. I can't afford us both getting in trouble."

"But Kira-sama, you can't… can't be serious?" said Meiko looking horrified.

"Meiko, you're a youkai and I'm a youkai. Before we started traveling together we managed to take care of ourselves. I can fight and I know how to escape skillfully. Don't worry about me," Kira placed her hands on Meiko's shoulders, "nothing will happen. I promise you."

"Hai," sniffled Meiko, "you better keep your promise Kira-sama or I'll be forced to hurt you!"

"Hai," replied Kira smiling. Meiko hugged Kira and quickly bounded off in the opposite direction, Kira watched her go. After a few minutes she turned to Rin who was quietly sitting beside her, "Rin-chan, I'll stay with you till Sesshomaru-sama comes okay?"

"Hai!" Rin hugged Kira's legs and started telling her the story of how Sesshomaru found her.

The great Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, sat in a clearing thinking. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts that neither he nor the snoozing Jaken, noticed a little girl run away from their camp. He didn't notice until it was almost too late.

"Jaken! Get up!" snapped Sesshomaru, glaring at the sleeping figure of his toad demon servant.

"Milord Sesshomaru, what is it? What can I do?" stuttered Jaken while trying to sit up properly.

"Where is Rin?" he asked simply.

"Well she was sleeping on Ah-Un a moment ago…" said Jaken, he then noticed she was missing, "NANI! Milord, I swear to go she was there…I don't know what happened…"

Sesshomaru sighed, "We will go find her then. And Jaken?"

"Hai milord!" squeaked the little toad.

"Don't make this same mistake again."

"Hai milord!" squealed Jaken and then he mumbled to himself, "That little brat keeps getting me in trouble. When we find her…"

Kira sat stroking the sleeping Rin's hair, she listened carefully to the forest around her, "Where can that god damn taiyoukai be? I can't spend all afternoon babysitting even if Rin is a sweet and charming little GIRL!" The wind was completely knocked out of her as she was slammed against the thick trunk of a tree.

"Wench! What do you think you're doing?" Kira could feel the strong claws of a demon bite into her shoulders, Wench? How dare he!

"Wench?" she said quietly, "my name is Kira." She quickly slashed at his face, he released her growling in pain. She dropped down to the ground lightly.

"How dare you bitch!" he snapped, grabbing Tokijin from it's sheath he unleashed it. Sesshomaru stood watching the strange girl before him, he unconsciously had to admit, and she was beautiful with long ebony hair and mystical green eyes. She wore a dark blue hatori with a long sword strapped across her back.

Kira laughed at him, "You're pathetic. Attacking me as if I was a cowering ningen! You must've realized by now great taiyoukai that I am a youkai like yourself!"

"Bitch you dare mock this Sesshomaru," he snapped, "I'll show you the meaning of pain!" He launched himself at her, Tokijin yearning to slice through flesh. Kira leaped up out of the way and unsheathed her own sword, Orion. Sesshomaru came at her again this time faster, Kira managed to block his attack with her own blade, I can't hold out forever, he's a lot stronger then me and mocking him didn't make this situation better. I'll just have to knock the wind out of him and run for my life!

Sesshomaru put his weight behind another blow and threw Kira a few feet backwards, "Wench, I don't care if you're ningen or youkai! No one dares mock me and lives to tell the tale!"

Kira sighed, slowly she felt her own powers grow, she was a black dog demon, daughter of Yoshimitsu. She would not back down without a fight. Sesshomaru came onto her again, she dodged rolled out of the way.

She's fast, and powerful, I may have underestimated her but why did I not sense she was a demon before? No! I will not let my curiosity best me this time, this wench will die! Sesshomaru slashed out Tokijin again and sliced into Kira's arm, she cursed in pain and leapt backwards in defense.

"Yarou!" she snapped at him, she saw Rin on the side standing behind a toad demon, must be Jaken, but what she noticed more was the girl's tears, "This ends now Sesshomaru!" She threw her good fist into the earth creating a seismic blast throwing up the trees and dust everywhere.

"Coward!" yelled Sesshomaru, "show yourself!" But in a few moments the dust was cleared and the female youkai was gone.
