AN: As I said I uploaded two new chapters as the same time so I hope you enjoy this one as much as the next one. Please R&R

(Meanwhile in Kaede's hut)

"Demon…..assassins?" questioned Kaede as she looked to the leader of the group as he and someone else sat inside Kaede's hut.

"You heard correct priestess. My clan is made up of demon assassins. We have traveled far from our home so it is understandable that you have not heard of us."

"I have heard of demon slayers, but never demon assassins," Kaede mentioned.

"We have heard of the slayers as well, and we have also heard of their demise. That is one of the reasons why we have travelled from our distant home."

The man took a sip of his tea as he sighed in satisfaction of the hot liquid warming up his body.

"Your hospitality is appreciated so I will mention my name. I am Chun Lee, leader of the demon assassins."

"Chun Lee," Kaede repeated. "It seems yae really have travelled far from home. Such names are not very common around these parts nor is yae clothing." Kaede examined their Chinese style armor as well as their clothing. Not that different from theirs but different none the less.

Rin was finished with her last batch of tea. The rest of the warriors enjoyed their hot treat outside as they were ordered, and the only one left was the warrior sitting next to the leader.

Rin walked over and held out the tea politely with a smile. "Here you go, enjoy."

The soldier looked to the offered tea but refused. "Huh?" Rin mumbled.

"That is enough," Chun Lee said firmly. "Show your face and accept the tea. I can't have you freezing on me."

A sigh was heard from the mysterious soldier, and as they began to take off their hay hat more of their face was shown.

Rin was the least to say...shocked. It was a girl.

Rin saw the young woman that looked like she was a little older than Rin herself. Her hair was black as well and braided down the back also. Her eyes held so much anger that was obvious enough, but the one thing that stood out most was the scar across her mouth.

A scar ran from the side of her chin to the upper part of her lip. It was no wonder why she wanted to conceal her face, but all in all Rin did not mind. The girl was very pretty overall, but that look she held made it seem as though she hated everybody and everything.

"My tea," she said as she layed out her hands. Rin gave it to her with a smile still displayed on her face.

"Such a lovely girl," Kaede praised as the girl only bunched her eyebrows together while sipping her tea. "Is she yea own daughter?"

"No," Chun Lee answered, "she is my niece. I have been looking after her ever since she was young. Her name is Sue Lee, but you she prefers people to call her Sue."

"They will have to call me by Sue Lee," Sue said with rage as hot as the tea. Both Rin and Kaede were very shocked on how rude she was, but they both held their tongue.

Sue placed her cup of tea down and stood up quickly. "Thank you for the tea, but I do not associate myself with people who hold a liking to monstrous beasts."

Sure walked out with her stance all but happy.

"I apologize for my niece's behavior, but that is just the way of the demon assassins." Chun Lee said as he finished the last of his tea. "That is what separates us from the slayers. We heard they can hold a liking to certain demons, but unlike them we hold nothing but pure hatred for them all."

"Well I am afraid I do not agree with yae, but that is yae own way and I will not judge. Nobody will right Rin?" Kaede asked the girl specifically for she knew of the Rin's affections for the demon lord. She knew Rin would never start a fight such as Inuyasha did, but she could never be too sure.

"Right….." Rin answered.

"If all is done then we will be taking out leave." Chun Lee said as he began to stand.

"Wait," Kaede suddenly said as the man was brought to a stop by the door.

"You mentioned one of the reasons why yea are here is because of the slayer's demise. Although what be yae true reason for coming here?"

Chun Lee turned his head without even bothering to sit down.

"I am going to make this quick for you priestess," he said as he took an inhale of breath.

"We believe that this world will be happier with demons out of the way. Our dream and our goal is to exterminate every demon in living existence. The weaker demons are nothing for us to handle, but it is the stronger ones we have a problem with."

He turned around to face the two females as he continued.

"We have searched for years on the most powerful demon. A demon whose strength outmatches any others, and whose power reigns supreme. Finally after years of searching we believe there may be such a demon dwelling within these lands."

"These lands?" repeated both Rin and Kaede.

"Yes, a demon we have heard of only to be described with hair and skin as white as the moon itself, and eyes made of the purest heated gold. He is also known to wear a fur over his clothing, but we are not entirely sure on that part. They were only rumors we heard, but either way it all led here."

Rin's eyes went wide at the description. Does he mean…..

"That is why we were led to your village. We heard of a demon that matched the description we were looking for, but he turned out to be nothing more than a weak half demon."

"WEAK!" Inuyasha barked from outside as he could hear loud and clear as to what they were saying. "I'll show them weak!"

"Sit boy," said Kagome as she watched Inuyasha's face get pumbled into the ground. "Geez, I'm at Sango's for only a few hours and already you're starting a fight."

"It wasn't my fault," he said with his mouth full of leaves.

"I see," Kaede said with amusement tickling her from the scene outside. "So you believed for Inuyasha to be this demon you're searching for."

"I did," he said," but then after I got a good look at his skin it was not what was described to us. And I am sure dog ears were not described either. Although I will find him, and when I do…."

"What?" Rin whispered but loud enough for him to hear. "What will you do once you find that demon?"

"We will kill it," Sue suddenly said she popped back into the door. "We will kill it or die trying. Destroying that demon will slowly start to decrease the population of demons. If we can defeat the most powerful demon we can surely kill them all."

"Is killing hi….it really the answer though?" Rin questioned as Sue stared at her with anger. "Figures such talk would come from one who socializes with a half demon." Oh what Sue didn't know for it was more than just a half demon Rin was socialized with.

"You have never seen the bad sides to demons so let me describe this one we are after. This demon we are searching for is nothing more than a vicious monster; a beast whose only purpose in life is killing the weak and innocent."

T-That's not true…..

"It has slaughtered human after human without any sign of remorse, and has caused more bloodshed than war itself. It is a pure demon inside and out, and as such you should know that demons are suppose to come from the depths of hell."

No...Not the Sesshomaru I know….

"A savage beast!"

No…

"A heartless monster; that is all it is and all it will ever be," Sue said as she looked to Rin waiting for the young woman to agree with her.

A savage beast…..Rin could not help but allow her head to be filled with her lord's true form. A mighty dog demon with canines as large as boulders and a size that would make the forest shudder. Even when he transformed his entire frame revealed so much power and strength to match his crimson eyes and jagged birthmarks. She also thought of his strength using bakuseiga, and his overall demonic power.

He was a demon….she knew that. She was reminded all the time when she stared into those golden pools that could never belong to no human.

A heartless monster….Would a heartless monster caress her cheek the way he did when he first left her in the village. Would it dry her tears the way he did, or tell her with comfort not to cry?

Would a monster protect her through thick and thin, while always seeming to look out for her safety before his own? Or shower her with gifts for no reasons, but always brings it to her at the most appropriate of times.

Would a heartless monster acquaint himself to an area full of creatures he deems insignificant just to be able to see her, or take part of ceremonies he considers a tradition far beyond his interest just to see to her own happiness?

"I'm waiting," Sue said as she looked to the quivering girl who had her eyes hidden within her bangs with a look that almost made it seem as though she was going to cry.

"Y-Your wrong," Rin whispered which caught Sue's attention. "What was that?"

"Rin," Kaede said in warning.

"I said YOUR WRONG!"

AN: Go Rin lol anyway that is it for this chapter and stay alert for the next one with Sesshomaru finally returning to the village to see Rin. Oh the drama they will have to face with these newcomers, but at least it's together. Still much more to come so I hope you enjoyed and look out for ch 4 coming soon!

Please leave a comment to tell me what you though it would be greatly appreciated.
