Chapter Two: Attack
Night crept on the two travelers fast. Rin looked up at Sesshomaru's darkened profile. She sighed silently and glared at the back of her masters. "Why,"she thought,"why on earth,
would the most powerful youkai, need a ALLIANCE! And why would he want HER!" She replayed the scene in her head, the woman youkai came first.
A little voice in the back of Rin's head answered her one question."She is a beautiful youkai." "But, why would he need an alliance,"Rin argued back, there came no answer. Rin
shook her head and gazed into the night sky. "True,"she said,"She is a pretty youkai. Long black hair and the gray eyes. If only I was a youkai, then Sesshomaru might consider me.
But that will never happen, and he's going to court some kind of youkai that will help him later in life, right?"
"Rin." Rin looked up, she noticed while in her thoughts she had stopped walking. She blushed as she ran towards her master, muttering apologies. She gazed into the hard amber-
colored eyes that was watching her approach. "Rin, get down!"
Rin stopped and quickly dropped to the ground. As she did she felt a large gust of wind sweep over her. She gazed up and saw a lethal metal object sink itself far into a great oak.
Her fists clenched around of tuft of grass as she realized how close that was. A shadow crossed over her, and she looked up. Sesshomaru had lept to the place where the unnamed
object had produced from. She watched as his eyes narrowed and scanned the forest.
"They are gone, i can't even catch a scent," He turned around,"You can get up now." Rin rose to get up, but she couldn't! The shock of how narrowly she had been missed must
have scared her too much.
When Sesshomaru noticed that she wasn't moving, he walked over to Rin's side. "Sesshomaru-sama,"she said weakly,"gomen, but i can't get up!" She stared off into the distance,
and Sesshomaru realized what must be wrong.
He knelt and picked her up and set her across his lap. "Rin." She looked up at his face. "There is no reason to be afraid. Nothing is going to happen to you when I'm near you.
Your okay."
Rin looked up, some what shocked. She smiled and rested her head into his arms.
"You have failed me,"came a cool female voice.
A small gray creature trembled in the shadows. It fell into a low bow. "Your highness,"came it's cracked voice,"I will send some elite youkai to take care of the girl. Had it not been
for Sesshomaru, she would be gone now." It rose from it's bow a looked fearfully into they glaring eyes that were looking at him.
"All right,"she said smirking,"I'll give you another chance, Yubba. But remember,no more foul ups!" The grey youkai hurried out of the room and disappeared into the shadows.
A small knock came at her door. "Yes?"
A small young servant girl came in with a tray laden with food. She bowed as she set the tray down. Her is your dinner your highness."
"Yes, thank you. You may go."
"Good night, Princess Ryoko."
