Twice Dealt Back To You
Chapter Two: Harm Befalls The Girl
Rin walked through the forest looking around for anything she could eat. But her movement was slow.
She sighed, and leaned against a tree.
"Why did you leave me here, Lord Sesshomaru?" she whispered, as if he might hear her.
He didn't. But someone else did.
"Little wench, do you miss your master?" A male's voice said.
"Yes." She said truthfully, forgetting that she shouldn't talk to strangers.
"Then it's so fortunate I ran across you." The voice said.
She could just now make out his sillhouette in the shadows.
Rin took a step back.
"Why?" she asked quietly.
The man reached out of the shadows and touched the side of her face.
Rin pulled back sharply.
"You will learn to respect me!" The man roared, stepping out of the shadows and striking her.
Rin hadn't been struck since she had joined Lord Sesshomaru.
Tears sprung to her eyes and she looked up at them fearfully.
"That's better." he said, grinning maliciously.
She studied him for a second.
He was about as tall as Lord Sesshomaru. His hair was long, and dark brown, and his eyes were red. There was no doubt that he was a yokai.
"Come." He said, grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her forward.
She pulled away and began to run, but it was futile. He was faster.
He struck her down in one blow, and picked her up by the back of her collar.
"That will teach you not to run." he said. "Do you have a name, girl?" he asked roughly, after a second.
"H-hai, Rin."
"You will address me as 'My Lord' for now on." he informed her. "And you shall shed all traces of your previous life."
Rin whimpered. "H-hai, my lord." she said softly.
"Good," he dropped her. "From now on you will be known as Santan."
