Loving the Demon

Ch. 4

Shessomaru watched the bright purple light shoot out from the well, and rose to his feet. Shortly after the light departed two figures came out of the well. One was the miko, and the other was…

Shessomaru's eyes widened a bit with confusion, but he quickly regained his composure. "I thought Myoga had said that you became a full human, Inuyasha." His eyes narrowed as he stared at his half brother.

"Yah, but that's only when I'm on the other side. I gotta be a hanyou on this side or else I wouldn't be able to defend myself." He gave his brother a sarcastic smirk. Shessomaru turned his attention to the miko, and then turned his back to the two figures as Myoga jumped onto his shoulder. "Hey, Myoga said you needed my help!"

Shessomaru began to walk away. He didn't expect it to be this hard to ask for assistance from his brother. "Follow me."

Inuyasha and Kagome followed after Shessomaru. They walked until the sun began to rise, and then they found themselves in a clearing. There was a girl sleeping peacefully against a tree, and Shessomaru walked over to wake her up.

"Rin?" He raised one of his eyebrows.

The girl made a soft groaning sound, but finally opened her eyes slowly. "Lord Shessomaru…" she yawned and began to rise to her feet.

Inuyasha and Kagome watched a bit confused. Rin turned her head both ways and stretched her arms above her head. "Shessomaru?" Inuyasha questioned.

Shessomaru turned his head toward his brother, and then back toward Rin. He sighed, "You, woman…" he looked at Kagome.

Kagome jumped a little, "me?"

"Yes," he sounded annoyed. "Stay here with Rin, there are things that I need to discuss with my brother. Come Inuyasha." Shessomaru began to walk into the woods, and Inuyasha followed behind him. Kagome and Rin just stared at each other.

"Hello." Kagome approached the young woman.

"Good Morning…" Rin sat back down against her tree. Kagome smiled at her, she had a suspicion why Shessomaru had called for Inuyasha's assistance.

Shessomaru walked a long while in silence as his brother followed closely behind. Finally he stopped next to a rather large tree, and he heard his brother do the same. The wind whistled a bit, and played with his hair. He turned slowly and looked his brother in his eyes. "Let's get this straight, I still don't like you!" He said in a threatening tone.

"Then why did you summon me?" Inuyasha placed his hand on Tetsusaiga.

"I may not like you, but this is no time to fight. I summoned you so you could assist me with my human problem." Shessomaru watched as his brother slowly pulled his hand away from his sword.

"You mean that girl?" He frowned a bit in confusion.

"Yes…" Shessomaru hissed.

"You seemed to be able to handle her well enough on your own." Inuyasha said placing his hands on his hips.

Shessomaru's eyes narrowed. "That's not what I meant," he sighed. "Rin has been acting rather strangely lately, and you were the only one I knew that understood these human actions. I would like you to evaluate her and tell me what is bothering her."

Inuyasha chuckled a bit. "You make it sound like she's a machine. Sure, whatever, but how do you expect me to do what you ask?"

"Just watch the way she acts, even you would agree that it's rather strange." Shessomaru and Inuyasha made there way back toward the two women that they had left behind.
