Chapter 6
Rin
The twins ran behind me when Master Jaken grabbed his staff and walked a few steps toward me. "Rin? Is that really you? Wow, you are very much taller than me now. And you look…" He paused and looked up and down, scanning me. "like a maiden."
I smiled warmly and picked him up to give him a big hug. "Oh, Master Jaken! How I've missed you so!" I gasped and let go of him, running around and looking frantically for my Lord, whom Jaken always stayed close to. I heard him grunt and groan and pain from me dropping him on his head.
"Ugh! Why you-hey! What are you doing? Where are you going, Rin?" He shouted behind me as I wandered farther into the bushes.
"Master Jaken, where is Lord Sesshomaru?" I turned to ask him.
His face drained and he looked down at his hands. "I'm not sure. There was a blinding light and I was here when I woke up…"
"But what about Lord Sesshomaru?" I anxiously asked, shaking his shoulders.
"Stop it, Rin! Stop it!" He shouted. "Lord Sesshomaru was in an epic battle. His power was truly great with his mighty demon sword, but I think the sword may have been too much this time."
"Is he…" I swallowed back some tears that tried to leak out of my eyes.
"Don't be ridiculous Rin! Lord Sesshomaru is a Great Demon, and he would never let himsef be destroyed by a mere demon as Bakeneko."
"Bakeneko?" I repeated.
"Yes. He is a fierce enemy of Lord Sesshomaru. He is a cat demon, and a very powerful one at that."
"But Lord Sesshomaru is alright, right?"
"Of course he is you stupid girl!" Master Jaken exclaimed.
I sighed.
"Rin," Shippou said behind us, holding Nina and Kimi's hands. He gasped when he looked down. "Jaken?"
The little green demon's eyes were wide as he looked up at the fox demon. "Weren't you shorter last time I was here?"
Shippou smiled, a little embarrassed. "Yeah, I, uh, grew a lot since then."
"Apparently…" Master Jaken mused.
We started heading back to the village and everyone was running around and an alarm bell was being rung. The sky was getting darker and it looked as if the air was being filled with black clouds.
I ran the kids into the hut where the little kids were cowering in a corner. I protected them and whispered soothingly to them so they would stop crying. Kiba was squirming trying to get past me to see what the comotion was about.
"What's going on?" I shouted at Shippou when he appeared in the doorway.
"The demon everyone went to fight moved here, they smelled out Inu's pups," He yelled back. "I have to go help them!" And with that, he ran out to fight the demon. In the distance I could hear, "Foxfire!" being yelled and then a screeching from the beast.
"Iron-Reaper Soul-Stealer!" I heard Inuyasha yell. And then a silence…was it over already?
I ran outside and looked out to peek…
"GET INSIDE, RIN!" Shippou darted past me yelling.
I jumped back as the glowing red eyed demon charged past us and snapped at the fox demon.
I yelped as it screeched out and stomped back toward the hut. Its eye stared at me through the door to the hut. It groweled and raised a claw to tear apart the little hut. Its arm burst through the roof and grabbed me too tightly against the waist.
I screamed in pain as it squeezed tighter. I thought it was about to break me into pieces and kill me. I couldn't breath and my pink and baby blue kimono was ripping.
"Rin!" Everyone called out from about 50 feet from below. Shippou darted past the others and jumped up the beast's body. "Foxfire!" he shouted and threw it into his face, avoiding me. The demon screeched and dropped me. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but no sound was coming out. My vision was getting blurry when suddenly the air around me stilled. I stopped falling.
"Rin." A voice said softly.
"…Lord…Sesshomaru?"
I heard Inuyasha then. "WINDSCAR!" and then everything went black...
