Chapter Three

Here we are again

Kojima sighed to herself as she headed towards the mountains. She could smell wolves everywhere, and that was really working her nerves. She wasn't a wolf, and hated most of them. Mainly because what they had done to her younger brother, Sangjo. Growling, she pulled out her bow and arrow, pointed it towards the push infront of her.

"Who are you?"

"Nice to see you again too." hissed Sesshomaru.

"Hmm. Mixing your scent with that of the wolves. And I thought, since you were called Lord, you could do better then that." she smirked as she replaced her weapon.

"Don't flatter yourself mut. I know what you are." Sesshomaru stepped out of the bush and into the clearing.

"Oh really? What am I?"

"A demon. But not just one kind of demon. I'll bet one of your parents were dog,..." he sniffed the air, "and the other fire."

"What if you're wrong?" she growled back.

"I'm never wrong."

"And you're too damn cocky!" shouted someone from behind.

When Kojima looked over her shoulder, she saw a half breed jump over her head with a sword, heading for Sesshomaru. Quickly, defending the bastard dog demon, Kojima jumped in front of Sesshomaru and held out her bow. And, unbelieving to the half breed, it stopped his sword.

"What the hell?"

"It's called a barrier." she smirked, then caused the guy to fly off and land on his back.

"Sesshomaru, I didn't think you would be so weak as to have a girl help you." he smirked.

"Don't flatter yourself. I could tell right away that Sesshomaru could kill you. I've just had a boring day." Kojima smirked back, and cause the guy to frown.

"Inuyasha, shouldn't you be with that girl of yours?" asked Sesshomaru.

"Don't you talk about Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted as he went to kill Sesshomaru. This time, Sesshomaru used Toijin before Kojima could do anything.

"That's right, she's dead." Sesshomaru grinned, then went to slice Inuyasha.

But something stopped his sword. It went flying off and Sesshomaru saw that Kojima's fist was bleeding. When he glared at her, she smiled.

"You protect Rin. And I know you could kill this guy. But listen demon boy. This Inuyasha has obveously lost someone very close to him. And I know how the guy feels. So, how about you let him go for now?"

"How about you stay out of this?" growled Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

"Fine. But Sesshomaru, if you kill him, I'll kill you." Kojima growled then walked away.

Growling, Sesshomaru jumped in front of her and pointed his Toijin at her throat.

"You would dare challenge me in such a way?"

Kojima could see inside those emotionless eyes. So, he thought he was being all big and bad because he knew how to remove all emotion? Well, he was in for it. She had said what she had meant. If he killed this Inuyasha, she would kill him. And, Jaken's life was in her hands if he ever harmed Rin.

And, at the thought of young Rin, she came out of the bushes and ran to stand next to Kojima.

"KOJIMA-CHAN!"
