Chapter Two: Attack!

Sesshomaru lifted Rin as well as he could and placed her on AhUn's back. He noticed she had grown a lot in the five years since she had rejoined them. Leaving her in the wrap, Sesshomaru walked alongside AhUn with his one hand on her back.

Jaken walked behind them, still mumbling over his ruined pride. Sesshomaru stopped.

"Jaken," he said,

"Y-Yes, Milord?" Jaken answered,

"Be quiet." Sesshomaru continued walking. Jaken stayed behind them, thinking that he needed to mumble quieter.

Meanwhile, in the forest next to them….

"Eh, see those travelers, Rokuro?"

"Yes I do, Big Brother, Ichiro, they look rich don't they?"

The two bandits snickered evilly, Ichiro looked over it Sesshomaru's group and assessed their strength.

"We can take them if we're carful of those yokai with them…"

"We can take care of them with our bows, can't we Ichiro?"

"Maybe…Let's follow them, there is a valley by a cliff top, we'll make our move there."

Lord Sesshomaru smelt humans, but thought nothing of it.

When Rin woke up they were miles from where they had started.

"Where are we?" she yawned, she looked around. "Lord Sesshomaru! May I go pick flowers?"

"Only if you hurry," that was his only reply, to Jaken's shock and amazement.

She ran into the field and began picking.

"I'll pick this one, cause it is the same color as Lord Sesshomaru's eyes. And this one because it matches the moon on Lord Sesshomaru's forehead…" And so were her thoughts as she picked flowers.

She ran back to their campsite with both hands filled with flowers for Lord Sesshomaru.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" she called, she found him standing stark still, staring out onto the horizon. She tugged his robes and offered the flowers. He took the flowers out of her hands.

"Thank you, Rin," He said quietly, she smiled up at him.

"We've got you surrounded! Please surrender all valuables if you want to live." Said a voice from the forest,

"What valuables?" Sesshomaru yelled back, "As you can see we have none."

"You can't fool us! Why would you have two yokai guards with you?"

The fools, thought Sesshomaru, They are threatening the great Inu-Yokai, Lord of the western lands, and they are worried about Jaken? That toad could not hurt a flea even if he wanted to!

Rin was really frightened and hid herself behind Lord Sesshomaru.

"You have from the count of five to do as we wish or you die! Go(five)…Shi(four)…San(Three)…Ni(two)…ICHI(one)!" An arrow flew towards Sesshomaru.

"NO!" Rin yelled.

Then something happened that EVEN Lord Sesshomaru didn't predict.

Rin leapt in front of him just before the arrow was in his reach.

Me:Oh the drama!

Chibi Sesshomaru: See? Even if you don't listen to Chibi Duo, you can write good angst

Me:I guess you're right...

Chibi Duo: "Gulps"
