Chapter 2 - Sesshomauru

It has been 3 weeks and Anna and Rin continue to search for Lord Sesshomauru. For the past three weeks, Anna has been treating Rin as if she were her own daughter. As they stop by a riverbank, Anna watches Rin as she plays with the butterflies in the field. Even at the age of 18, Anna feels as though she has a motherly obligation. As she sits, her heart starts to feel at ease. But then she remembers her own childhood…

Flashback

"Mommy, Mommy!", a young Anna cries for her mother.

"My dear Anna, why are you crying? Don't you know your to pretty to cry?" Anna's mother cradles Anna gently.

With tears in her eyes, "No one will ever like me. They all hate me and say that I'm not human and…"

"Oh Anna, don't cry. Your father and I will always love you and we accept you, human or no human. And I promise you, one day you will find people who will accept you no matter what."

"Promise?" she looks at her mother with hope.

"Promise."

End of Flashbacks

"Anna, let's go. We wouldn't want to lose our way.", Rin says trying to catch Anna's attention.

"Your right. Let's go." As Anna and Rin continue on their path, Anna takes the opportunity to ask Rin questions as to how she was attacked by the rat demon. "Rin, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Sure", she said as she began to skip childishly at Anna's side.

"This Lord Sesshomauru, why did he leave you alone in the forest unprotected?"

"He didn't. He left me with Master Jaken and Ah-Un."

"Jaken and Ah-Un. And are they demons as well?"

"Yes. Master Jaken is a toad demon and Ah-Un is a two headed dragon demon."

"So Sesshomauru leaves you alone with two grown demons?" Her voice filled with concern.

"Oh yes! Lord Sesshomauru believes it necessary."

"Does he trust them?"

"No…he ohm…uhhh…what is it when you scare someone into doing things?" she looks at Anna curiously.

"Threaten?" she replies with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes!"

"Well, how do we find your Lord?"

She pauses and gives Anna an awkward look. "I thought you knew. All well, I guess he'll just have to find us."

"Great."

On the other side of the forest, Jaken awakens to see that Rin is gone. He searches franticly for her but can't seem to find her. After searching, he finds himself deep into the forest. There are some rustling sounds coming from behind a bush…

"Rin is that you?" He moves closer to the bush. "Rin stop playing games. Lord Sesshomauru will be very upset." The sound of the bush becomes louder. Jaken advances closer to the bush. His staff is raised above his head. As he takes another step, a two headed creature jumps on top of him and begins to lick his face. "Aaaahhhh! Get off of me this instant, you, you….Ah-Un…stop this!"

Ah-Un rises off of Jaken and begins to give Jaken a disappointed look. "Don't look at me like that. We have to Rin or Lord Sesshomauru will have my head and both of yours!"

Ah-Un turns around to see a talk figure approaching them, he backs away slowly as Jaken continues to babble about Rin's disappearance. Jaken notices Ah-Un's retreating form and begins to babble franticly again. The tall figure appears behind Jaken. "Ah-Un, what is the matter! Don't you know Rin is missing!

"Rin is what?"

Jaken turns around to see Lord Sesshomauru. He begins to back up slowly. "Lord Sesshomauru…you…your back!"

"Where is Rin?" Sesshomauru asks Jaken calmly.

"Well…uh…we…we…were…uh…attacked by…by…other de…demons and…" Jaken looks at Sesshomauru with a pleading look. Sesshomauru becomes annoyed.

"Jaken, do you wish to die."

"No, Lord Sesshomauru, it's ju…"

"Where is Rin?"

"Uhh…Rin…is…" Tries to find a way to save his own life.

"Jaken?" Steps towards Jaken.

"She was kidnapped by one of the demons!" Breaths harshly. Sesshomauru takes his fits and slams it on Jaken's head.

"You might want to think twice about lying to me again Jaken. Next time I won't be so kind. Ah-Un let's go." Sesshomauru says with a cold look. He then turns around and sniffs the air for Rin's scent. He begins to walk with Ah-Un following behind, and Jaken recovering from the harsh blow on top of his head. Jaken picks up his staff and runs to catch up with Sesshomauru. As he meets up with him, he bows meekly.

"Please forgive me Lord Sesshomauru." Sesshomauru ignores Jaken and continues walking.
