Author Note: Thanks everyone who reviewed. I really appreciate it. It seems that no one wants to edit my story. If that's the case then don't complain how bad it is. Constructive criticism is always encouraged, but if you go on about a paragraph how my story sucks, then don't read it. Anyways, as it has been established I do not own Slayer or Inuyasha. Now on to the story. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 3 Discovery
It had only been a month since Lina had met Sesshoumaru, and Rin; however, it seemed as though they had known each other for ages. Lina did not know really how she had come into this group, all she knew was she was in it, and once she had found a way to repair Sesshoumaru's right arm she would probably never see them again. The thought of this saddened Lina, but she knew if she ever wanted to get back to her world she would have to leave them some time.
Sesshoumaru had studied Lina, and he knew something was troubling her. They had only known each other for a month, and the two had become friends rather quickly. The fact that she was a human did not bother him as much as it use to. He had gotten over that detail when they fought one hundred demons. She had proven she could take care of herself when she caste only one spell to eradicated all of the demons.
"What troubles you Lina?" asked Sesshoumaru as the group was walking down a dirt road.
It was pretty late in the day, and Rin had fallen asleep. Lina carried the small child on her back.
The young red headed girl smiled at the demon and said, "Nothing I was just thinking."
"No really, something troubling you," he persisted.
"Alright I'll tell you," she caved.
"I just was really curious on what happened to your arm," said Lina bluntly.
Sesshoumaru had a sour look on his face and Lina continued, but not until Jokin interrupted her.
"How dare you ask Sesshoumaru-sama things in which are none of your business," cried Jokin.
"I am sorry. I don't mean to pry I was just curious where it was," said Lina completely ignoring Jokin.
The demon did something he hadn't done in a long time, he cuckold.
This surprise Jokin, that his emotionless lord had shown emotion to this human girl.
"You make my loss of my limb sound as though it were a stray cat wondering around."
"I am sorry to pry," said Lina as she adjusted Rin on her back to make herself more comfortable holding the child.
"It's alright, it's just a sour subject," he replied.
"Okay I'll drop it," said Lina.
I'll just ask Rin about it later when he's asleep she thought, and her smile returned.
The sun had finally gone down, and the group decide to camp in the forest for tonight. Lina had noticed a stream near by, and volunteered to get some water, and catch some fish for the group. As she was walking in the direction of the stream she heard a little voice.
"Aunty Lina wait up!" cried Rin.
Lina stopped where she was and waited for the child.
Rin had run down to where Lina was and was short of breath when she said, "May ...huff..huff..I go with you," asked the child catching her breath.
Lina smiled and replied, "Of course you can silly, come on lets go."
Rin took Lina's hand and the two walked down to the stream holding hands like a mother and daughter.
Lina was catching fish while Rin was playing in the stream attempting catch her own fish; however, she was unsuccessful, compared to Lina who had caught over 100 fishes.
This is the perfect time thought Lina.
"So, Rin you've know Sesshoumaru for a while now haven't you?"
"Yes, about three years why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was just curios if you knew how he lost his arm."
"Yes, I know that. He was fighting his little brother, Inuyasha over their father's inheritance, which was a powerful sword that could kill a 100 demons in one stroke. However, Sesshoumaru-sama could not weld the sword, only his brother could. When he attempted to take the sword, Inuyasha cut off his right arm."
Interesting, thought Lina. Inuyasha is the younger brother of Sesshoumaru. But, where is his arm. If I could find his original arm then I could connect the two limbs back together, and restore it were he would be able to grow back his arm if he lost it. She knew just the spell, the only problem was getting his arm.
"Rin, do you know where the arm is?" she questioned the little girl.
"Yes, I believe it's in Lord Sesshoumaru's father's grave," replied Rin.
"Do you know how to get there?"
"No, but Jokin-sama would. He's the one who told me the story," replied Rin as she continued to play in the stream.
"Well, I think that's enough fish," said Lina.
Lina was caring over 200 fish, and Rin's eye's bulged out. "Aunty Lina I know you eat a lot, but do you really need all fish."
The young woman smiled innocently at Rin and said, "I'm a growing girl I need to eat. Plus this way we have enough for everybody."
"But, Sesshoumaru-sama does not eat human food."
"Well, the toad, you, the dragon, and I do, therefore we need a lot of fish."
"Okay," smiled Rin and the two returned back to camp.
The two walked back to camp and Sesshoumaru had already made a fire. Jokin, and the dragon (AN: sorry I don't know the dragons name if you know it please tell me. Thanks.) were sitting around the fire.
Rin announced their presents, and the three stared at the food.
Lina plopped the fish down four feet away from the fire and caste a fireball. Immediately, the fish was cooked.
She smiled, and said, "Dinner is served."
The three each took a plate from the traveling bag, which Jokin had unhappily drug along. Then Lina took a plate out for the dragon and piled about 20 fish on to the dragon's plate, and set it in front of the mystical creature.
Within the hour the four had undoubtedly eaten all the fish and all Sesshoumaru could do was stare in disbelief at the group.
"Man that was good," said Lina as she patted her stomach.
"Indeed it was," Jokin said patting his stomach. He had learned not to make any rude comments even if the food was bad because he knew Lina would fry him for it. Then she would probably be eaten. But, tonight he was lucky, and the fish had tasted divine.
"Rin was laying on the group patting her stomach and said, "Man that was so good thank you Aunty Lina."
"Anytime."
Sesshoumaru just stared and said, "I can't believe you ate that much fish. I am not sleeping next to you."
Lina turned in Sesshoumaru direction, and had a sly grin on her face, "Oh, so you were planning to sleep next to me?"
Sesshoumaru blushed a little, but it was barley noticeable. "No I was just saying that you'll probably be throwing up since you ate all that food. Where do you store it? We all know it's not your breast."
Oh, boy that pissed Lina off. The conversation was going in her favor, and some how Sesshoumaru was always able to make a witty comment to piss her off. Lina shot a fireball at the inspective demon.
He coughed up smoke and only grinned his cocky grin, for he knew he had beaten her in wits. "So, you can't have a nice conversation Lina? You have to get violent when someone says something you don't like."
Lina just shot him a death glare, and Sesshoumaru continued to grin.
Eventually, the group went to sleep, even Sesshoumaru. Lina could only guess he was tired from all of their verbal matches the two had that day. So, it was time for her to make her move.
Lina got up from her sleeping bag, and grabbed Jokin where he slept, being careful not to wake anyone up. Then, she teleported the two to the stream. ( A/N: she can do that because of her knew powers.)
Jokin looked at Lina, but before he could speak Lina spoke first.
"Okay toad listen I need you to show me where Sesshoumaru's father's grave is."
"Why do you want to know?"
Lina signed and said, "Because Sesshoumaru has been very kind to let me travel with him in this strange world, and I want to repay him by restoring his right arm."
Jokin nodded, and continued "But, why do it in secrete?"
"Because if I told him Sesshoumaru would tell me he didn't need his right arm, and that he wasn't handicapped."
The toad demon shook his head, and said "Alright I'll help you, but first we need to find Inuyasha."
"Why?" questioned Lina.
"Because in Inuyasha's eye is where we will find Sesshoumaru's father's grave."
"Okay, let's go."
With that said the two teleported to find Inuyasha before morning, so not raise suspicion.
End of Chapter 3.
