Chapter 2

The Feuderal Era

(500 yrs ago)

"Lord Jaken, Lord Jaken," hollered Rin, "Come here, I've

found something." Jaken looked irritated at Rin. "Watch her he

says. Keep her out of danger he says. Why should I have to watch

a smelly, ugly human?" "Lord Jaken," she yelled. "I'm coming

you stupid human." He walked up beside her, "What is it? I see

nothing." "There on the hay bail," she pointed her finger. Jaken

squinted his eyes, "It looks like another stupid human." Rin balled

up her fist and hit Jaken in the head, "Stop calling humans stupid

or I'll beat you to a pulp." Jaken swayed from side to side, "Uba

hinibabo," he said unintelligently before collapsing. "She's resting,

let's go and leave her be." She grabbed up Jaken and dragged him

away. They didn't get far before a crow demon landed in front of

them, "Sesshomaru's loyal servant and little rugrat. I think I'll take

the girl." Jaken jumped up, "Take her she's yours." "Lord Jaken,"

exclaimed Rin, "Lord Sesshomaru will be angry with you again."

On the other side of the hill, Flo was just waking up. She sat

up and looked around, "Where am I? How…?" her thoughts were

interrupted by a child's scream. Flo sprained to her feet, but was

overcome by dizziness and collapsed to her knees. "Lord

Sesshomaru help me!" The desperate cry for help made Flo forget her dizziness and run to aid the child. She made it up the hill and

saw a giant bird-like beast chasing a little girl. Flo ran down the

hill, incredible she was running faster than usual. Within seconds

she reached the girl just before the beast grabbed her. "Lord

Sesshomaru," the girl kept screaming. The beast started shooting

blue orbs of light at them. "What the hell is this thing?" she

thought, "It looks like a crow, but it is bigger and it shoots them

ball thingy's out." One of the orbs hit Flo directly in the back. She

fell forward clinching the girl tightly to her. The crow laughed,

"Now I got you." Flo grasped, "It can talk." He took a step

forward, "Now I will take that girl, if you don't mind." The little

girl latched onto her arm as Flo said, "Over my dead body." The

crow rose up, "Your wish is my command." It developed a huge

blue orb and fired it at them. Flo covered the girl taking most of

the blow in the back. She let out a painful cry. The little girl was

crying, "Lord Sesshomaru, where are you?" Flo took three more

blows to the back, but the child remained unharmed. She knew one

more blow would surely kill her. The beast was getting ready to

shoot another. Flo looked down at the girl, "No matter what

happens after this next blast you run." The crow shot out the orb,

Flo closed her eyes and loosened her grip on the girl so she could

run. Sudden she heard running behind her and she saw something split the orb into. The little girl looked up and hollered, "Lord

Sesshomaru, I knew you would come." Flo looked to see the boy

from her dreams standing there, "It's him!" she thought to herself.

He looked hard at Flo, "Get her out of here." She summoned up

the last bit of strength to get the child away. She made it to a

boulder before she collapsed unconscious.

Sesshomaru stood confidently in front of the Crow demon. "So we meet again, Kihano." "This will be your last encounter,

Sesshomaru. Die you dog-devil." Kihano ran at Sesshomaru, but he jumped into the air to avoid the attack. "Your wrong Kihano."

He said. Kihano liked up, "Huh" Sesshomaru brought his hand down in a slashing mode, "It will be your last." He slashed him

down the middle. He split in half and disappeared, "Rin, you ok." Rin ran out from behind the boulder, "Lord Sesshomaru, I knew

you would come." Jaken came out from of the forest, "Lord Sesshomaru, I'm ok too." Rin turned on him, "You were going to

give me to that buzzard-brains." Sesshomaru glared at Jaken. Jaken held up his hands in defense, "No master I swear, the stupid human

lies." "Do not," said Rin. "My lord I would never disregard a direct order from you." "Did too," said Rin. "Did not," fired back Jaken.

"Did too." "Did not." "Too" "Not" Sesshomaru started to get agitated with this. "Wait," said Rin. "The Lady, Lord Sesshomaru

you have to help her." Jaken turned from her to Sesshomaru, "It's just another filthy, old human." "What did I tell you, Lord Jaken?"

said Rin. "Oh Shut…" Rin jumped on him and started pounding him on the head. While they were fighting, Sesshomaru walked

over to the girl and looked down on her. "This girl doesn't look like or dress like Inuyasha's woman." he thought. Rin beat Jaken

and ran to Sesshomaru, "What will you do Lord Sesshomaru?" Without saying anything he kneeled down and scooped her up,

only to have her wrench in pain. He laid her back down and raised the tail of her shirt. Bruising and red slashes filled her back, "Rin?"

Sesshomaru asked, "How many blows did she take?" Rin thought for a moment, "Ummm… about three or four my lord." "No

human could survive that many blows to the same spot." he thought to himself, "She looks familiar, but where have I seen

her?" Jaken came wobbling up, "You… ain't thinking about… ugh…taking her my lord…mmm… are you?" Without answering

he lifted up the girl, despise her protest and walked away, "Wait for me Lord Sesshomaru," cried Rin. "My lord, don't leave your

loyal servant behind." added Jaken. Lord Sesshomaru looked down at the girl and thought, "A life for a life." Then he looked back at Rin and thought again, "Yeah a life for a life."
