Sesshoumaru, Rin, and Jaken were walking through the forest, when Sesshoumaru smelled the scent.
She's here. She followed.
He tried his hardest not to look behind him, but kept on walking.
Stupid hanyou. She's her death warrant if she crosses me. he thought.
But why is she following us?
Suddenly Rin screamed. Sesshoumaru looked up just in time to see a long slimy tentacle reach out and snatch her off Ah-Un. Sesshoumaru unsheathed Tokijin and lunged at the tentacle. Another tentacle reached out and knocked Tokijin away and grabbed Sesshoumaru, pinning his arms to his side. Sesshoumaru looked to where Rin was, and could see that she was unconscious.
What is this thing? It's just like the demon that Katara killed. But it's slowly robbing me of my energy.
He weakly looked to see where Jaken was, and found him in one of the creature's tentacles. Jaken struggled for a few seconds before he blacked out as well. Sesshoumaru was alarmed.
I can't reach Tokijin...no, there must be some other way!
But his arms were pinned to his sides, and he had barely enough energy left to become his full dog form.
He felt himself falling deeper and deeper into a black void, which he struggled to get out of.
Rin...he thought.
What's going to happen to her?
Suddenly, he saw a fiery boomerang fly out of the trees and head straight for the demon, cutting it neatly in half. He saw Rin and Jaken fall to the ground, and felt himself falling as well. He hit the ground with a soft thump, and saw a girl standing over him, just as he blacked out. (Yes, he did. Don't bite my head off just cuz the Great Lord Sesshoumaru fainted. The stupid demon sucked out most of his energy! Gimme a break. He would have defeated it eventually. Katara just sped up the process.)

Sesshoumaru awoke. His vision was blurry for a few seconds, and when it cleared he saw Katara gently putting Rin down on the grass a few feet away from him. Jaken was laying a little ways off, still unconscious.
What...what happened? he thought to himself.
Did she save me? He tried to stand up, but his knees gave out. Katara was there in a flash to catch him. She gently laid him down on the grass.
"No, don't get up. You're still too weak from the demon."
Sesshoumaru struggled to speak.
"But...Rin.."
"They're safe. They're still unconscious, but very much alive...as are you."
Sesshoumaru looked up at Katara, on her knees still holding his head.
"You've been...ugh...following us.."
"Yes, I've been observing you for the past few days. Good thing I was, or you might not have survived."
Sesshoumaru looked away. "You didn't need to interfer. I could have handled that demon. A hanyou like you had no buisness interfering."
He looked back up at her, his eyes cold. And for the first time, someone returned that coldness. Katara's eyes blazed. (Is that an oxymoron? can eyes be cold, and blaze at the same time?)
"Oh, Mr. High and Mighty? From what I saw, you were about to lose the battle. If I hadn't been here to save your butt, Rin would be dead! You would have let Rin die, if only to save your pride! I should have known you would be just like your brother!"
She put Sesshoumaru's head down and got up. Sesshoumaru got up as well, his energy completely restored. His eyes were blazing with pure hatred. How dare this wench compare him to that mutt! Still, he made an extra effort to keep his voice even.
"How dare you talk to me like that. I'm Lord of the Western Lands. I'm the most powerful demon around. You shall address my by my proper title, and you will not compare me to my brother ever again!"
His hand lashed out to strike Katara. She caught his hand before it hit her. Her strenght clearly surprised him.
"You...are such a work of art! I save you, and what do you do? You try and attack me."
She let go of Sesshoumaru's arm.
"You need to seriously take a good look at yourself. Just because I'm a half-demon, doesn't mean I'm any weaker than you! I'm stronger than your brother, and chances are I'm stronger than you!"
These last words startled Sesshoumaru.
She's tried her strength against Inuyasha? How strange that she didn't go with his little group, seeing as he's a half demon as well. But, she beat him in a fight?
Katara took a step away from Sesshoumaru.
"I might be a hanyou, but I'm a stong one. Don't you dare touch me, or I assure you, Lord Sesshoumaru, you will be sorry." she spit out.
With that, she leaped up into a tree, and disappeared from Sesshoumaru's view. Sesshoumaru looked at Rin.
Well, she has guts. I must admit, anyone who can match my strength and talk to me like that has to be worth knowing more about. And next time we meet will be the last time she crosses me.

Katara sat on a branch, looking down at Sesshoumaru.
I can't believe him! she thought fiercely.
He's an inconsiderate jerk! I save him, and his precious human, along with that frog thing, and what do I get? Reproached.
She thought of how gently he had picked up Rin that time she first saved her from that slimy demon.
But...anybody who loves a human like that can't be all bad. He won't admit to that though. He just doesn't know me. And besides, I confronted problems like those back home. Guys don't like girls to save them. It makes them look weak. Lord of the Western Lands. I'll bet his royal subjects are plotting against a moron like him!
She looked down again, and found that everyone was gone.
Oh great! He did it again. If he thinks he can get away from me that easily, he's got another think coming.
She stood on the branch, and began to leap from branch to branch, heading east. She stopped suddenly.
Wait, what am I doing following a jerk like him? If he wants to go out and get himself killed he can be my guest! But, Rin...
She stood on the branch uncertainly. All of a sudden she began leaping again.
I'm doing this for Rin! Not Sesshoumaru. Rin deserves safety. I wish I knew how Sesshoumaru came to meet Rin though.

That wench. Calling me a jerk! A hanyou claiming to match my power! And a girl at that! We'll see about that when the time comes.
Sesshoumaru was walking through the forest. Rin and Jaken were on Ah-Un's back, who was walking behind Sesshoumaru. He expected that Katara would be following behind. He sighed.
But still, she's quite brave to speak to me like that. Or that might just be foolishnes. She doesn't know what power I have. Yet she wasn't afraid to challenge it. If she wasn't a half-demon she would be quite interesting to get to know better.
He sighed again, and glanced back at Rin's sleeping form. Suddenly he caught himself. What the hell am I thinking! Katara's an enemy. An obstacle. One that I'm going to have to go through if I'm going to get to Naraku. I do not need to be thinking about stuff like that. Shit, I feel like I'm stuck in my adolescence again.
