"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."
