Chapter 2

Yukiko turned back to her hanyo self as the sun came up. She opened her brilliant blue eyes and growled, "What hit me?"

"Yukiko, are you alright?" she turned around and saw Rin.

"I'm fine. I'm going back to my camp," Yukiko said wanting to be left alone, when she saw she was still bleeding badly.

"You're still bleeding and you're weak from blood lost," You won't make to your campsite," Sesshomaru replied, "We'll take you."

Yukiko gave a low growl, "Please Yukiko let us take you," Rin said sweetly.

Yukiko's face soften a little," Alright little one."

A few minutes later they came to a waterfall there was a small hut built between two trees.

"Your camp?" Sesshomaru asked confused.

Use to be. I only in this place for a month. I got one more in a different location. Nobody really care for hanyos well maybe children but that usually changes. You can come inside."

Sesshoumaru followed much to Jaken disbelief, but Rin followed happily behind them.

The hut looked bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside. Yukiko sat on the mat that she used for a bed. She held her shoulder, "Rin, can you hand me the pack?"

Rin got the bag off a small table and gave to Yukiko, The hanyo opened the bag and pulled out a jar. The jar was full of a green gel, "That smells," Rin said covering her nose.

"It's supposed to Rin. It is for injuries. The one in my shoulder for some odd reason not closed yet. It well help stop the bleeding," trying to remove the bandage that Sesshoumaru put on her.

Yukiko do you need any help?" Rin asked her voice was full of worry.

"No,"she said trying to get the top of her shirt off her shoulder and keep her breast covered, "I got some berry in the back if you hungry."

Rin gave her a bright smile and went to find the berries," Jaken go with her."

"There's also bread and honey back there," she called after them.

Sesshoumaru watched as the hanyou finally ripped the bandage off showing a very small wound, "Bleeding out my ass. If you're just going to stand there get out of the way of the window."

The lord of the west went up to the hanyo and got closer look at the wound seeing it was not as bad as it looked, "Give me the jar."

"What?" Yukiko looked confused.

Sesshoumaru took the jar from her hand earning him a growl which he ignored, "I'm only trying to hell you hanyo."

"Yukiko. My name is Yukiko," she didn't flinch when he put the smelling ointment on her wound front and back.

The ointment work fast or maybe it was the demon blood but the wound closed within second leaving little to no scar which surprised Sesshoumaru. Yukiko found a clean shirt, "Can you turn around I have to change and I'm used to being alone."

Sesshoumaru turned around to give the hanyo privacy, "How long have you been by yourself?" the lord asked without thinking.

"I was fifty when my mother died so at least three hundred and thirty years," Yukiko said gently, "I'm done."

He turned around and saw Yukiko with a blue top on that made her eyes stand out, "Lord Sesshoumaru, I can't find master Jaken."

"What?" Sesshoumaru looked irate.

"Don't be mad. More than likely he found my tunnel," Yukiko said walking to the back find the entrance of the tunnel was open.

"You trying to hell somebody you…"

"Say it and die," Yukiko said jumping down and lifted him out of the hole, "It helps for a quick get away when villages try to kill you."

"YUKIKO! YUKIKO!" he heard a male voice shout, "ARE YOU HOME!"

"Shingo," she ran to front to see a full grown yokai kitsune, "Why are here?"

"If I had it my way I wouldn't be here but since you saved my kit I owe you one. Rumor has it going around that a yokai with blue eyes are killing female hanyo with eyes like yours. He already killed three and headed this way," Shingo said before running off.

"Shit," Yukiko growled softly, "Damn bastard, "Why of all days."

Yukiko went back into the hut and started to pack quickly, "Yukiko what's wrong?" Rin asked with a worry was in her voice.

"Nothing for you to worry about," Yukiko told Rin, "I just need to move that's all. I never stay one place longer than six months.

"HANYO COME OUT AND PLAY!" somebody yelled angrily.

"Sesshoumaru, take Rin and Jaken threw the tunnel," Yukiko said, "It will exit to another hut. You can come back for your dragon friend later."

"HANYO GET YOUR HALFBREED ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!" the anger voice said Sesshoumaru could tell it was an Inuyokai

"Who is that?" Rin's voice shook with fear.

"My father. I believe. His been getting rid of hanyoes. Sesshoumaru get them out of here now," Yukiko's blue eyes flared.

"HANYOI!" the demon yelled.

Yukiko looked at them GO!" she said turning to face the demon.

"She's going to get herself killed, 'Jaken said looking at the door the left threw.

"Jaken taken Rin threw the tunnel. I will catch up," demon lord said.

"But my lord," Jaken started till Sesshoumaru looked at him.

Yukiko glared at the Inuyokai," You need watch your mouth," she looked at him.

"You eyes a glaciar blue," the yokai voice was gravelly.

"Just like yours father," she spat at him.

"Show some respect hanyo without me you wouldn't be here," he growled angrily.

"I will show no respect to the man who raped my mother," Yukiko bared her teeth, "You want to play let's play."

"The hanyo has guts," he laughed.

"Come and get me," Yukiko stood strong her bravery not faltering.

When Sesshoumaru heard the word rape his blood boiled. This yokai had no honor. His father may have impregnated a human but it was far from rapes. Sesshoumaru wounded what kind of woman was her mother to keep a child from a brutal rape," he heard her cough then he smelt her blood.

"I remember your mother. She cried when I took her. When I saw her doing laundry by the river. I couldn't help myself," the yokai said with a evil smirk.

Sesshoumaru growled it was true he didn't care for half breeds, but this hanyo was facing a yokai to make sure Rin, Jaken, and himself got to safety. She didn't want him involved with her problem. "BITCH," he heard the yokai said and smelled blood, "I've been taking care of myself for some time now."

"I'll kill you yet," Sesshoumaru heard him pull out a sword. Yukiko was unarmed, "Can you take me now half breeds."

That did it for Sesshoumaru Yukiko had her claws, but nothing that could go against a yokai sword.

"You have no honor!" Sesshoumaru came out of the hut, The Lord of the West looked at the female she looked like hell.
