Third chapter, I'm happy that people are reading it and like it so far ^-^ Sorry it takes me so long to update though. I write it, edit it, then have someone look it over for me, then fix it up some more, I read it over, and then edit it one last time.

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or any of its characters -.-;

Normal text is talking stuff, Italics is thoughts, and bold is me.

Sesshomaru opens his eyes and looks down at their camp. It seemed as if everyone was still sleeping, and the sun had barely begun to rise. He was about to stand when he noticed that Rin's scent wasn't very strong, which meant that she wasn't there. He let out a small sigh and leaped down. It's been like this for the past few days, how is she able to avoid rousing me? Sesshomaru lifts his head and sniffs the air; he could smell her on the wind. She was only a mile away from where they were camped. Even though she is upset with me, she still stays within the boundaries that I set for her. He smirks and knocks Jaken over with his foot.

"Ahhh! Who dares attack the camp of the great Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken screams and flails his staff around in the air frantically. After a second, he notices that Sesshomaru is standing right before him. "Oh, it is you My Lord; forgive me for not realizing that it was you. Ehehe." Jaken rubs the back of his head and bows his head of embarrassment.

"I am going to hunt, watch over her while I am gone." Sesshomaru turns and leaves before Jaken has the chance to respond.

"Stuck with babysitting the girl again?" Jaken complains, "It's always for her, I never get to be with My Lord anymore! I wish that girl would just disappear." Jaken rants and plops back down against the tree that he had been sleeping on.

Rin was sitting in a field of flowers when the sun had risen. She sighs, lies down on her back, and closes her eyes. "I miss being with My Lord." She stays in that position for a while before turning to lie on her stomach. "Why did My Lord have to pick that wind sorceress? She was with Naraku. Is this Rin not enough for My Lord?" Rin slips back into how she spoke as a child as her mixed emotions affect her. "Of course not, Rin is but a mere mortal. If only Rin could be a demon, maybe then My Lord would see me as a woman."

Rin continues to admire the flowers for about an hour before her stomach growls. She looks up at the sky and the sun is nearly over head of her. She stands, and only then does she notice the presence behind her. Rin freezes and tries to figure out who that person could be, until she takes a deep breath and chokes. Rin coughs and panics, its poison gas, she clutches her throat as her vision wavers. She barely has enough strength to lift her head slightly before collapsing onto the ground.

The person who was watching Rin chuckles and takes off Rin's outer kimono. They slice it up, throw it in the air, and gently lifts Rin up into their arms and run off in the opposite direction of Rin's camp.

Sesshomaru returns to his camp with parts of a deer that he had hunted. He places it down next to the fire and notices that Jaken is asleep again. Sesshomaru growls slightly as he sniffs the air, Rin's scent is still a mile away. How long does she plan to avoid me? Sesshomaru knocks Jaken over again and watches as Jaken flails around on the ground.

"My Lord, you frightened me again." Jaken gets up and dusts himself off. Sesshomaru doesn't reply and walks back over to the meat that he had brought. "Let me cook that for you Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken goes over and starts arranging the meat around the fire to be cooked. Sesshomaru tosses a few raw pieces to Ah-Un and watches his subject cook the meat.

"Fetch her," is the only response that Jaken receives after the meat has been properly cooked. The sun says that it is well into the afternoon. Jaken quickly grabs his staff and scrambles off in the direction that the flower field is.

"How far out is that girl?" Jaken stumbles across the uneven forest floor, "She should be around here somewhere." Jaken searches around the forest before he emerges in the flower field. "Rin would love this place, so peaceful and full of flowers."

He pauses and squints at the cloth near the middle of the field. "That silly girl, she must have fallen asleep." He briskly walks toward the cloth. "Rin, you stupid girl, wake up! Lord Sesshomaru has come back." Jaken nears the cloth and slowly comes to a halt next to the fabric. "Oh no, Lord Sesshomaru is not going to be happy about this." Jaken bundles up the fabric and races back toward the camp.

Back at camp the camp, Sesshomaru can hear Jaken running back. Why is there only one pair of footsteps? He stops roasting the meat and turns to face where Jaken coming.

"My Lord! My Lord!" Jaken shrieks as he bursts from the tree line. "Rin," he gasps, "has disappeared!"

Sesshomaru narrows his eyes "What do you mean disappeared?"

"Look," Jaken wheezes as he takes the torn cloth of what used to be Rin's outer kimono out and holds it out to his lord. Sesshomaru grabs it and inspects it. Once he realizes what it is, he jumps into the forest, leaving Jaken behind. "Lord Sesshomaru! Please wait for me," Jaken gasps and slowly jogs after him.

Again, sorry it's taken me so long to update (and how short it is), but I'm hopefully going to get this story done in a few more chapters. So you guys only need to wait a bit longer. Thanks so much for reading ^_^~ xxCeroxx
