Chapter 8: Back to where I belong.

I walked down the street, following Inuyasha's group again. Everyone could tell that I wanted to be somewhere else…And they just couldn't understand why I wished to be in his group. Maybe if they had experienced the same that I did, maybe they would feel the same way…

It wasn't hard for me to feel this way. Rin had become like a little sister to me. Even though we had only just met, I wish to have been there to protect her…Okay so Sesshomaru's cute but that's just a perk. I'd rather be there for Rin. Sometimes I wish that they would have had Myoga heal me, than take me with them. At least than I wouldn't have to deal with Inuyasha's group. It's not that they are bad or anything…just I'd rather be with Sesshomaru.

"So where are we going?" I asked the group

"Well, we are going to a village called Rindon…It has apparently been having problems with demons." Miroku said as I nodded

"Any leads on Naraku?" I asked

"None, he keeps slipping through our fingers." Inuyasha growled.

"Don't worry we will find him." Kagome said

"I know."

I smiled as I looked forward. I saw smoke and immediately I ran up to the front of the group.

"Guys! Is that where the village is?" I asked as Kagome nodded

"Let's go! They need our help." I stated as we all began to run towards the village.

When we got there I gasped at the size of the fire. The village was completely on fire. I could see the villagers running around trying to save their friends, loved ones, etc. I ran into the village but got stopped by Kagome's voice.

"What are you doing Yune! Don't be rash!" Kagome said as I turned to her

"These people need our help. And I'm not about to sit around and not help them." I said as I ignored her call for me.

I ran into the village and looked around. I could see the terrified looks of every villager that passed me to go to the exit. I don't blame them, I'd be scared too. Though there might be someone in this village that needs my help…I walked up a little further and saw a villager was crying by his house. I ran up to him and he turned to me.

"What is wrong sir?" I asked him as he cried

"My children are in there." He said as I ran into his house.

I looked around the burning house. I saw two children by the corner of their bedrooms. I ran up to them and held my hands out to them. They took them and I pulled them up into my arms. I began to run to the house door until one wood plank crushed the door. Damn it! Why couldn't this house stay intact for one more second?

I looked up to the roof and smiled. I lightly put the children down and pulled out my sword. I felt another memory come into my head. Dad, are you showing me another technique. I held my sword up high into the sky, pointing at the ceiling.

"Lighting eyes!" I screamed as a bolt of lightning came out of my sword and shot the roof open.

I put my sword away and grabbed the two children again. I jumped out of the roof top and dropped beside the man. I let his children go to him and he smiled at me.

"Now, get out of this village!" I said as he nodded and grabbed his children.

He ran down the street towards the exit of the village. I began to run down the other street, going further into the village. That's when I heard it. The small voice…

"Somebody help!" I heard a little female voice said as I ran to it.

There I saw Rin standing with a boy. He looked to be around 12…maybe 13. He had black hair that was tied into a high ponytail. He had dark brown eyes and freckles on his face. He wore a similar battle suit to Sango's. Instead of pink guards he had yellow ones. He had a sword that was tucked into his belt at his waist. He had a weapon that was curved in to give a better way to hurt a demon. The weapon was attached to a chain.

"Rin!" I said as she turned to me.

"Yune! Help! Can you get the plank out of the doorway?" Rin asked as I nodded to her.

I went to the door way and looked at the wooden plank that was in the doorway. I held my claws to the plank and smiled.

"Tiger claw!" I said as I cut the wooden plank into 4 pieces

This made the doorway clear. I watched as a family of 4 came running out of the house. I smiled to them as they ran towards the exit of this village. I turned around to Rin and she came up to me.

"What are you doing here Rin!" I said as she frowned

"Well, Kohaku…he…he took care of me when Kagura took me…And then the village went out into flames. So we went out to try to help the villagers…" Rin said as my eyes widened at the name Kohaku

"K-Kohaku…" I said as he looked at me.

"What?" He asked as I grabbed Rin by the arm

"Sango's little brother Kohaku…I've heard about you…Rin where is Sesshomaru?" I asked her as she looked up at me.

"I don't know. I suspect he's coming soon." She said as I looked back at Kohaku.

I saw his eyes and I gasped. His eyes had no pupil in them. I put an arm out to protect Rin. I knew it…It was just like the others had said. One minute he is himself, the other he is controlled by Naraku…And to imagine the pain Sango must go through because of this.

"K-Kohaku?" Rin asked as he turned to me and held his weapon up.

I grabbed Rin and dodged the attack easily. I ran down the street away from Kohaku…And when I turned around to see him…I saw that he was gone…just like that…So…What was the point of that?

I continued down the street. I looked down an intersection of four streets in the village. I looked down the right street that went to the outside of the village. I felt a smile creep upon my face. Sesshomaru was standing there waiting for Rin to come to him. I let Rin go down and she began to run up to Sesshomaru. I was about to go follow her until I heard a voice.

"…You are leaving?" I heard Kagome's voice say as I turned around to her.

I could see the sadness in her eyes. She really wished that I liked it where she was. She wished that I'd stay by her and not want to be anywhere else. But that was just not the case.

"…Yes, Kagome I am." I told her

"Why with them?"

"I don't expect you to understand why I want to be with them…And I'm sorry…But I just…I…"

"Feel more at home there?"

"…Yes…I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I know you and Rin are very close, I can see that. If he does anything bad to you, you come straight back here okay? You are always welcomed in our group."

"Thank you Kagome."

"No problem."

"Say good bye to the others."

"I will."

I smiled to her and ran up the street where Rin went. I saw her waiting there for me. I walked up to Sesshomaru. I could see him stare at me with confused eyes. Maybe he didn't understand the bond between Rin and me…

"I wish to join your group Sesshomaru. If that is alright with you." I said as I saw that green demon pop out from behind Sesshomaru's leg.

"How dare you! How dare you not address Lord Sesshomaru with 'Lord' and how dare you even think that this great Lord would wish to even have such a weak demon on his team." The green demon mocked me as I got angry.

"Master Jaken!" Rin yelled as he looked at her

"Lord Sesshomaru has no use for you!" Jaken said as I clenched my fist.

"Jaken!" I heard Sesshomaru say in my defense.

The little demon backed off. He hid behind his leg again and I chuckled. Oh he doesn't like to have weak demons on his team? Hello? Do you not see that you are a weak demon yourself Jaken? Pathetic…

"Do as you like." Sesshomaru said as Rin smiled.

"Yeah! Yune, come with me. I can't wait to hang with you." Rin said as she grabbed my hand and I nodded
