Inside the manor they find Rin talking to an old man. Rin looks frustrated and says "…But I really have to be going."
The old man gives the girl a kind look "Nonsense where would you go? Don't worry child you can stay here as long as you like."
The Villager approached the old man and whispered something to him. Then the villager spoke to the group "This is the lord of the manor."
The lord spoke causally to them untrusting them "What is it you want from me?"
Kagome stepped forward to speak "You have to let that girl go or else everyone here will be in great danger."
Miroku added "The shrine out front won't keep Sesshomaru out if he comes."
Rin looked at them wide eyed and asked "Lord Sesshomaru is coming?" she turned back to the lord "In that case Sir I really have to be going."
The lord shook his head and began to laugh a little "If you mean the demon with the staff he wasn't able to pass through the gate any better than any other demon."
Sango looked concerned this wasn't going as smooth as they had hoped. She explained trying the get him to understand "No, that demon is called Jaken, Sesshomaru is much stronger and we fear that your shrine won't keep him out."
Rin looked questioningly at the friends again and asked "Jaken has been here?"
Kagome knelt down to Rin and said "Yes. Didn't they tell you?"
Rin looked a bit confused and said "No. Now I really have to go if Jaken is already here to get me."
The lord began to stand as Rin moved to leave and he tried to talk her out of it "Child do you know what you're saying? These are demons."
Rin turned back to the lord once more and smiled happily "I know. Thank you for everything Sir. I'll be leaving now." Rin continued to leave and headed for the exit. Inuyasha and friends followed her out."
As they left the building Miroku stated "We need to get her out of here fast before Jaken brings Sesshomaru. Inuyasha you're the fastest; why don't you run her out of the village quick.
Inuyasha still appeared to be mad. It took all he had not to yell even though the irritation was clear in his voice "What the hell do I have to do it for, besides if Sesshomaru does come I can take him!"
Sango looked around "Hey wait, where is Rin?" she asked. Everyone looked around. Rin had already started down the path.
Kagome started to run after her "Well, we can't just let her wander around by her self she might get lost or taken by someone else." They all chased after her and got her out of the village without to much trouble from the villagers. As they left the village they ran into Jaken with Ah-Un. Rin ran towards them "Jaken and Ah-Un you did come to get me." she said happily running over to pet Ah-Un.
Jaken was shocked at her appearance and he was also annoyed with her "Rin what did you think you were doing?" he asked in a serious tone as he always did when she got in trouble.
Rin turned to him and looked very innocent "Well the man in the manor gave me some food and then when I said I had to leave he wouldn't let me and said I could stay as long as I wanted."
Jaken sighed and was starting to walk away "Well be that as it may, be more careful next time."
Suddenly Sesshomaru steps out of the shadows. "Is this the village Jaken?" he asked in his usual cold voice.
Jaken went to his lord's side and explained "Oh Lord Sesshomaru Rin got out on her own, see?
Rin looked to Sesshomaru and gave him the biggest smile "Lord Sesshomaru you came." she stopped to think on what Jaken had said then continued "Oh wait, I didn't get out on my own they came in and got me." She points to Inuyasha and the others who had been standing there the whole time being ignored. Sesshomaru stared coldly at the group and began to walk away silently when the ground began to shake.
