But Inuyasha had not more time to think. Sesshoumaru attacked with his full strength and speed, roaring as he did. The large fangs and claws drew nearer…
With a single blow Inuyasha screamed Bakuuryhaa!
Sesshoumaru howled with pain as one of his arms were cut off.
Rin screamed even more and began crying and shaking.
"No!"Rin yelled with all air she had in her lungs.
"NOOOOOO!"
Then she ran towards Sesshoumaru who had backed away and blinked surprised at Inuyasha. The wolf sniffed at the arm and showed his fangs.
When she came running towards him, the lord turned his head and showed his teeth to the girl.
She screamed Sesshoumaru-sama followed by Jyaken's scream.
The wolf shook his head, closed his mouth and the ears were slowly turning towards the girl.
She continued her crying and pleading for him to return to normal and be alright.
Inuyasha turned his head in shock. Was it possible that the girl…?
Sesshoumaru growled suddenly even higher. Rin did not move. The large white wolf opened hinm mouth and jumped to attack.
Rin swallowed hard. But the wolf did not aim at her. He flung himself at Inuyasha. The silver haired hanyou got a big paw in his face followed by deadly claws which were coloured a bit green.
Inuyasha managed to get away from the claws, but he still was flung thru the air. The hanyou landed just a few feet away from the crying Rin.
"There are no feelings in you, you bastard!" Inuyasha spoke as he rose.
The humans did not interrupt. They only slowly moved towards Rin.
"You have no emotions at all, baka! You are a bastard who have killed thousands of innocent people!
You are an evil youkai and you will die as the youkai you are!"
"BAKURYHAA!" Inuyasha screamed and unleashed the sword's deadly might.
Sesshoumaru howled furiously but had to withdraw when the powerful blow came towards him. The youkai lord had lost a great amount of blood and had therefore no chance dodging the attack.
Jyaken screamed as the dark haired human stopped trying sucking him in into his Kazaana.
When the human noticed that Rin also was about to get sucked in, he stopped the wind tunnel.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken cried out for his master.
"Mi'lord! Wait for me, Mi'lord!"
He took off without Rin.
The white haired wolf disappeared into the forest, leaving a trail of blood. The two-headed Ah-Uh followed, roaring all the way, but after a while the roars stopped.
Rin just stood there, left alone. She shook with fear and were shocked.
Her Lord Sesshoumaru… Had… left her?
And those humans injured him…!
But what could she possibly do? She was not strong and did not know how to defend herself.
She started crying, but bit her under lip.
I will not let them kill me when I'm crying, she thought.
But she still shook with fear when they drew nearer.
She recoiled until a tree stopped her escape. With her back against the tree she knew she could not run.
Lord Sesshoumaru! She wanted to scream, but did not dare.
He will not be proud of me if I do! she added in her thoughts.
There was nothing she could do.
He would be disappointed at me now, for I will cry, she whispered.
And so she did.
The girl with the sticks walked towards her with a sad expression, or at least it looked sad.
"Are you all right?" The girl asked.
The girl shouldn't ask that. What a stupid question! They were evil and had accused her Lord Sesshoumaru for being that and now that they were going to kill her and above all that, they asked how she was doing. And they had cut of one arm from her Lord Sesshoumaru!
How evil of them! How dared they...!
Lord Sesshoumaru! Her head screamed.
All safety seemed torn away from her leaving her feel… extremely alone.
Lord Sesshoumaru! Her mind screamed again.
"Help me" she whispered with a faint whisper.
But she knew he could not hear her plead.
Please... Sesshoumaru-sama...
Suddenly the forest behind echoed with howls of wolves. She started coughing and pushed her hands against the tree in fear.
One of the humans, the girl who had been riding on the cat youkai, knelt down in front of her.
"We have helped you dear, you need not to be afraid anymore. I am Sango, and the monk behind me is Miroku-sama"
The silver haired boy put the sword back into its' sheath.
"But that bastard is not dead yet"
"He will not die from those wounds." "He will come back" the silver haired boy stated.
A hope inside her chest began to rise and with that, a little bit of courage.
"Th-that's ri-right, she spoke with an unstable voice, and when he comes he'll avenge…"
The humans seemed confused, the silver haired… something, most of all.
Rin jumped with fear when the girl with the sticks put a hand on her shoulder.
She began to cry even more.
"S-Sesshoumaru-s-sama…" Rin stammered.
With pondering heart, filled with grief and the feeling of loss, Rin looked into the girl's eyes despite the fact that she knew the girl was going to kill her. The desperate need of survival created a small amount of courage inside her.
"I will not disappoint Lord Sesshoumaru, Rin continued, so… just... k-k-kill…"
The girl shook her head when a little youkai kid came running towards them interrupting Rin's sentence.
"Shippou!" The human named Sango cried out, followed by the others.
Rin's heart beat so fast that she thought it might burst. They turned their attention to the youkai kid and she saw a chance to run.
Just as she did, the silver haired boy stopped her. She fell onto the ground with a yelp of fear.
She shook as the boy watched her.
"Keh, he said" but it sounded more like a grunt.
"Where are you running? There are dangers out there; it's no place for a kid to be in"
She blinked over and over again. What did the boy mean?
The girl with the sticks had turned from the youkai kid and came towards them.
"Inuyasha! Mind you manners! The girl is terrified! Don't scare her more!"
The girl smiled and Rin went from shaking to shivering.
The silver haired boy made that "keh" sound again and went to the youkai kid.
She crawled away from the girl. That girl scared her and she was still crying.
Lord Sesshoumaru!
They were humans and she had no fond memories of that time when she was little and lived with humans.
Sesshoumaru had revived her and taken care of her as long as she wanted to remember. She loved the demon lord.
She did not trust these foul humans at all.
"Hello there, my name is Kagome Higurashi, that baka over there is named Inuyasha"
Rin did not dare to nod. She did not dare to move at all.
"What is your name?"
Rin shivered and slowly crawled away from the scary girl.
"M-my name? Why d-do you a-a-ask?"
The girl, Kagome, narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Come on, you don't need to be afraid of us. You can go with us to the village and get some food"
"That evil youkai has not given you any food, has he?"
The human named Kagome got a sympathetic look on her face.
She looked at Rin's bruises.
But those are not of Lord Sesshoumaru's making! her head screamed, but she could not even open her mouth to say it.
No, Rin was a bit clumsy when she played with Jaken and sometimes got stricken by him.
"Y-yes, he… gives m-me food sometimes, why… a-asking?
The girl's eyes grew wide in surprise and Rin's fear seemed to melt away and be replaced by anger again. That Inuyasha had hurt her Lord Sesshoumaru!
Then the whole crowd came and stood before her. The youkai kid hopped down from the cat youkai and went to her.
"Hello? Who are you?"
He seemed to examine her.
She froze. Was he the one who was going to kill her? A… kid?
Kagome took the youkai kid in her arms.
"Please, Shippou-chan, she is already frightened. Who knows what that evil youkai has done to her?"
Rin wanted to scream at them, but did not have the courage to.
I have disappointed Lord Sesshoumaru more than once. I hate disappointing him…
Lord Sesshoumaru!
"Come on, we'll help you get up… are you hurt?"
Rin began shaking of fear when Kagome held out a hand. Rin closed her eyes and waited for the strike but… it never came.
The boy Inuyasha had crossed his arms and was looking at another direction. She opened her eyes that were filled with fear.
She looked up at them.
When were they going to kill her?
The human Sango knelt next to her. She froze again.
"Do not be afraid, at the village we will get you a blanket, some… larger clothes and some food"
"Please… do not fear us, we are not evil like that youkai"
Rin looked into the humans' eyes but could not see any lies in them. What now?
They had almost killed her Lord Sesshoumaru but they wanted to give her a blanket and food? What was this? A trick?
She remembered her past and the relationship towards humans back then.
The human's eyes softened.
"What is you name?"
"R-Rin, if you want to know. B-but… when are you g-g-going to… k-k-kill me?"
She felt brave having said those words.
Now Lord Sesshoumaru will be proud of me! She thought and almost smiled.
The humans did not become angry, only the silver haired boy was. He cursed and went towards the village, both the youkai kid and the monk followed.
The cat had transformed into a kitten and went directly into her lap and meowed. At first she recoiled so the kitten fell to the ground, but when it still wanted to be in her lap, she gently caressed it on the back with shaky hands.
The human, Sango smiled and laughed.
"Looks like you have a new friend, Rin-chan"
The other human girl smiled as well and laughed.
Rin started shivering again at the sound of their laugh. Did that laugh mean they were going to kill her after all?
She looked down at the purring kitten in her lap. It purred and stroke its head against her belly.
The two humans stood up and waved for her to follow. They still smiled.
She wondered what was going to happen.
Lord Sesshoumaru! I'm so scared! I want you to be here, to protect me!
