A/N Well no one reviewed but I got a few hits so I've posted another chapter
Disclaimer: I don't own Iunyasha.
Recap: I gave her a small smile and open my mouth to answer but stopped short when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a tall man with long silver hair and strange markings on his face come out of the trees to my right…
Chapter two: What's my name again?
The man moved swiftly through the trees coming to a stop in front of me and the girl. From this close I could see that his eyes were a strange amber colour and his face though handsome was devoid of all emotion. As he turned his head to the side to look at the man laying face down in the dirt I saw he also had pointed ears.
Something fluttered in the back of my mind, I thought for some reason that I should think his pointed ears odd but I wasn't sure why. I shook my head to get rid of the strange feeling.
After taking in the unconscious man and somewhat bloody tree branch, he look at the girl in my arms.
"Rin what happened" his voice was smooth and, like his face, held no emotion.
"I was picking flowers and he-he" Rin's bottom lip started to quiver, I started stroking her hair to sooth her.
"He tried to force himself on her" I answer for her as I stood up and put her on her feet still keeping my arms around her. "I heard her screaming and came to investigate when I saw what was happening I smacked him in the head with the branch"
"Rin, Jaken is waiting just beyond those trees" he said as he gave a small gesture toward the trees where he had come out from "go and wait with him"
Rin gave a small nod and started in the direction he indicated but hesitated and looked back at me. I gave her a small smile and nodded for her to go.
When Rin had vanished from site the man inquired as to what my name was.
"my name is Arishka" I said then frowned as I realised that my name was all I remembered "May I ask your name kind sir?"
"I am sesshomaru lord of the western plans" Sesshomaru answered in his velvety but emotionless voice.
"Well M'lord its a honour to meet you" I said giving a bow, I was keeping my cool magnificently, pushing the panic swirling in the pit of my stomach and trying to climb up to my chest back down.
"What is your business in my territory" he questioned stepping closer
"I wish I knew" he stayed silent so I continued " I afraid I cannot remember much more then my name"
When his amber eyes narrowed I hurried on "I think I may have hit my head if this lump is anything to go on" I reached to brush the lump on the back of my head with my fingertips.
To my surprise he turned and went to walk away "Wait" I cried and in a moment of sheer panic I reached out and grabbed his sleave. He looked at me over his shoulder, I quickly let go and he walked on, I called with fear in my voice "You can't just leave me here!" he did not stop nor look back.
I watch him for a moment. I knew the man was my only hope for survival, if I was left by myself I would be dead within three days. After a moments hesitation I hurried after him.
He heard me following him and stopped, when I reached him I expected him to tell me to stop following him but all he did was raise his hand and gestured to the spot Rin hah disappeared. I felt a rush of relief and hurried to wait with Rin and Jaken who ever that might be.
A/N haha chapter two finished! Thanks for reading!!
