The Demon Whom No One Loved

Chapter Three:

InuYasha

Ah-Un landed a ways outside of the village. Rin jumped from his back and looked around. The sun was just coming up, so most humans were still asleep at this hour. InuYasha was a demon, Rin knew this because she had heard Lord Sesshomaru call him his brother. InuYasha would be awake already. This was Rin's belief and the thoughts she was going on, though she was not certain how to go about finding him. Rin had told Ahu-Un to take her to InuYasha and this is where he had chosen to take her to, so this must be where InuYasha was.

Rin was about to enter the village, when she heard a noise coming from the other direction. She turned to see InuYasha coming towards her. He did not look to happy to see her. InuYasha had been waiting by the Bone Eater's Well for Kagome to return, but he had fallen asleep and had been out there all night. Kagome was not back yet, and he knew she would not return while it was still dark out, so he was on his way back to Kaede's house to check on the others. Seeing Rin and Ahu-Un up ahead did not make him happy, it meant that Sesshomaru was around. InuYasha was ready to fight.

"InuYasha!" Rin called out, as she ran up to him.

"What are you doing here?" he looked around for any signs of Sesshomaru. He could not smell him, so he didn't think Sesshomaru was close by, but still, you never knew. One couldn't be too careful around that bastard, he was full of sneaky tricks. No doubt Sesshomaru only kept this kid with him, so he could use her as bait.

"InuYasha," Rin grabbed his arm and began pulling him towards Ah-Un. "You must come. Lord Sesshomaru is hurt. I think he's dieing…"

"Ha!" InuYasha pulled the girl from his sleeve and tossed her aside. "Hasn't Sesshomaru learned by now I don't fall for his stupid tricks?"

Rin landed on her bum with a hard thud. She did not get up immediately, but rather sat there staring up at InuYasha with a shocked look of disbelief and confusion.

InuYasha continued: "You tell that bastard, if he wants my sword, to come get it himself. I'm sick of him sending you guys around to do his dirty work for him. . ."

"I don't understand what you mean," Rin wailed. Why is he saying these things? InuYasha was Sesshomaru's brother. She had just told him that Sesshomaru was hurt. He should be rushing to his aid. Why is he being so mean?

"Yea, I wouldn't expect you to understand, " InuYasha paused to look at the girl. That, bastard, using a little kid to do his dirty work like this, I should go with her and kill him right now. "You're just a kid. You couldn't possibly know what Sesshomaru is like. Deceiving you just like he does everyone else. You shouldn't be helping a demon like him. No good will come of it. He'll just use you a kill you, like he always does."

"But he's hurt . . ." Rin fought back the tears. "He needs your help . . ."

"Yea, yea, I've heard it before," InuYasha turned and started walking away. "Take my advice kid, and don't go back to him. Why don't you just take that dragon of his and go back to wherever you came from."

"But . . ." she didn't know what to say. Brothers should love each other. Care about each other. Help and protect each other. Sesshomaru was always so kind to her. She had assumed his brother would be like him, but InuYasha was nothing like Sesshomaru. He was mean and cruel and filled with hatred. How can someone so cold-hearted be related to my Lord? She could not think of anything to say to convince InuYasha to come with her. "He's your brother . . ."

"Yea, we're not close," InuYasha called back over his shoulder, without turning back to look at her. "Go home kid. Forget you ever meet that bastard. He'll only end up killing you just like every other human he meets."

Suddenly Rin jumped to her feet, and stamped her foot hard on the ground while screaming: "Brothers should love each other!"

InuYasha stopped dead in his tracks, and stared back at the girl. Could it be Sesshomaru had not sent this girl after all? Was she here, because she knew the brothers did not get along? Did this foolish girl this she could actually make peace between them? Boy is she going to get it, when Sesshomaru finds out she was here. "Listen kid, you go back to Sesshomaru and you tell him that, he's the one who needs to hear it, not me."

With that InuYasha turned and ran back to the village. Rin was stunned. How could anyone not love their own brother?
