"Rin...don't move," Neko ordered his claw still on her cheek as she tried to fidget out of his hold but it only caused her cut in her cheek to intensify. "I don't want to...I don't want to hurt you," Rin shot her eyes up at the man holding her captive to see him shivering.

His eyes were dull but it seemed like he was under control by something, "Rin...get out of here, before I...Before I do something that would anger your lord," Neko whispered as his hold loosened and Rin was able to escape.

"Neko...what has happened to you?" she asked as Neko shook his head and pointed his right hand to the front of her. "Go...leave me in peace," he whispered so softly that she had to move forward to hear him but just as he whispered the last word his eyes began to glow gold.

His left hand shot out and grasped her hair violently as she gasped in pain as he twirled a long strand around his finger bringing her painfully closer to him. "You should have listened to me when I showed you pity," Neko hissed as he grinned when she pulled at his hands but to no avail to free herself.

"Neko, you don't want to do this, whoever is controlling you wants me dead, and you too when this is over," Rin whispered as Neko loosened his hold the sound of his death causing his heart to skip a beat.

"No, I will not disobey my master, she wants you dead, and I will abide to her wishes," Neko answered as he brought what looked like a small hidden weapon from his sleeve to stick into her heart most likely.

"Who is it who is controlling you?" Rin asked as Neko turned his head to the right.

"Her..." was his answer as Rin turned her head over to see Kaugra standing there with her hands crossed across her chest a smug smile on her lips.

Sesshomaru felt his heart quicken slightly when he picked up Rin's scent but then a low growl soon followed when he recognized Neko's scent as well. If that filthy human thinks he can get away with kidnapping Rin, we will pay for his mistake with his life Sesshomaru snarled in his head.

Stopping his quick strides he slowly landed on the soft green grass as it slightly parted from the wind generated from somewhere, but to his surprise it was all bending north of his direction. "Are you pointing me to somewhere? Or someone?" Sesshomaru asked lazily but the grass merely stayed in its position even after the wind passed on.

"I will listen to you grass, we will see what has taken your interest," Sesshomaru stated as he walked the path the grass had made and after every step the grass returned to normal at his heels.

"Neko..." Sesshomaru whispered in a growl when he spotted the human standing alone in the empty field, he turned his young head in the demon's direction and froze like a spotted deer. "Lo-Lord Sesshomaru," he answered with a shaky voice before bowing to him in respect.

"Where is Rin?" the demon asked as Neko gave him a confused look, "Rin? I merely came out for air and a bath in the stream nearby, I haven't seen Rin since...well," Sesshomaru didn't need for him to continue, he remembered when he had almost killed the human.

"Then why did I smell you with her just moments before?" Sesshomaru asked as Neko shrugged, "I was not with her at all I swear on my life," Neko answered and by the way his aura did not change Sesshomaru was sure the human wasn't lying.

A scream soon pierced the air as both men turned at the sound as Sesshomaru took after it as Neko gaped but soon followed on quick feet.

What scene they came upon had both men surprised...

There was Rin in an embrace with Neko, or a Neko imposter, her left cheek was cut lightly and she had tears in her eyes. Sesshomaru had to control all his energy to not go out and cut off that imposter's head.

"That's...that's me," Neko observed dumbly as Sesshomaru merely kept in a sigh of frustration. "Rin!" Neko cried then as Sesshomaru truly had to control his anger from strangling the human for real this time no matter what Rin did to stop him.

The imposter whirled on his heels and Sesshomaru noted the hidden weapon in his hands was slightly raised. His pulse quickened once again this time a protective feeling consumed his body when he saw that Rin had nearly died this day. He would forgive the human this time since it seemed he had saved Rin from certain death had he not called out.

Rin blinked and looked over to see her lord along with Neko as her eyes brightened, "Lord Sesshomaru! Neko!" she called out happily but then squeaked when the other Neko turned back intent on his job.

"Rin...Forgive me," he whispered before bringing the knife up as far as he could hold it before slashing it back down. Her eyes widened when its blade caught light of the moon and she saw her lord's reflection coming closer to them.

Just when the knife was coming down Sesshomaru jumped forward placing his arm above Rin's chest so the knife jammed into his right arm. Just as it stuck Sesshomaru's skin he kept going and collided with Rin as he pulled her back along with him as he jumped a good far distance from Neko.

Once Rin was on her own two feet Sesshomaru took out the blade and threw it in the opposite direction, "Who are you? Why have you come after Rin?" Sesshomaru asked as the imposter stood straight his eyes clearing until golden orbs shown through.

"I must obey my master, she brought me life," he stated and just after he finished a large amount of wind hit the field as Rin hid to the side of Sesshomaru as he stood his ground.

"Kaugra," Sesshomaru whispered as the wind sorceress landed gracefully onto the ground, "Ah, Lord Sesshomaru, it has been a long time hasn't it?" she asked before looking over to the woman beside the full demon.

"And your brat as grown up too hasn't she?" Kaugra observed, Rin backed up further behind Sesshomaru when Kaugra's red eyes pierced her through a slanted glare. "She has nothing to do with what I'm sure is happening, why are you here?" Sesshomaru asked placing his hand firmly behind him resting it comforting on Rin's shoulder relaxing her a bit.

"I have come to take the brat, but it seems Neko didn't do his job like he was summoned to do so," she answered letting her eyes travel to the demon that was looking as dull as ever.

Meanwhile the other Neko was huddled behind a large tree observing the conversation with confusion and widened eyes. Who was that man there? Who had his face and features; he even had the same clothes.

"Neko...since you have decided to hide your identity from your travelers I say that you should tell them and be done with it," Kaugra stated when the grounds had gone silent. Neko looked back at the wind sorceress with widened dark eyes.

"I-I," he stammered as he looked over to Rin as she watched him from behind Sesshomaru, her chocolate eyes were squinted to watch him better and to see if it was really him.

"He has been sent to kill both you, Lord Sesshomaru, and your brat, he almost had the brat tonight but something held him back," Kaugra explained for the man as he slumped his shoulders and looked up to Rin's eyes apologetic.

"Forgive me Rin...I didn't want it to be this way, I wanted..." he couldn't finish for he had stuck out his arm as if to call to her but Sesshomaru moved so his arm fell off Rin's shoulder to appear in front of her chest as if a barrier to not let her pass. His throat made a loud angry growl as he watched the human, waiting.

"Kill them Neko, and bring the brat this time, I want her for later uses," Kaugra ordered letting her fan tap her shoulder before she took off in her overly large white feather. Neko watched her go before looking back at Rin and Sesshomaru, his former allies.

"Forgive me, Rin," Neko stated as his eyes became even duller as his small knife flew from across the field into his open palm. "But I must do, what I have been risen to do," he whispered before charging first for Sesshomaru deciding that it best to end his life first.

"Idiot," Sesshomaru replied before grabbing the man's arm and twisting it as if a twig as he whimpered letting the knife fall to the ground. "You think that you could kill me? You will pay for that costly mistake with your life," Sesshomaru stated his voice as impassive as it always was.

"I did not mean for this to happen this way," he answered before he looked up to Sesshomaru his eyes returning to their usual brightness. "Too late now," Neko suddenly stated as his fingernails grew in size and he swiped with his other hand with a speed to defiantly defy Sesshomaru's but still the dog demon was quicker.

"Just as I wanted," Neko smirked as his teeth grew as well as he sank them into Sesshomaru's right arm. The demon hissed in anger before throwing Neko to the nearest tree as if he were a rag doll.

"Filthy demon," Sesshomaru hissed jumping to Neko's side and pulling him up by his kimono collar. "You wouldn't kill me if your life depended on it," Neko sneered looking up at Sesshomaru his voice darker and livelier then before.

"Rin will save me," he answered Sesshomaru's unsaid question, "Don't bet on it," Sesshomaru snarled while letting his claws glow a bright green. Neko's eyes widened slightly at Rin's silence but he whirled out of Sesshomaru's grasp getting out with just a gash in his arm where Sesshomaru had been able to slash him.

"I'll see you again," the demon threatened before jumping out from the fields into the dense forest. Sesshomaru stood his ground his eyes slightly narrowed waiting for the other Neko to come and clear things up but then again he was sure it would be hard since Rin would think it was the imposter. For some reason the new circumstance had Sesshomaru grinning inwardly.

"What...what happened to Neko?" Rin asked her voice hardly there her eyes looking like they were going to burst into tears at any moment.

"That was not the Neko we thought he was," Sesshomaru stated as he heard a faint rustle in the bushes, it seemed the real Neko was getting away while he could. Sesshomaru let a small smirk play across his face at the fact since it meant that it was less time trying to unconfuse Rin.

"Do you think that he will be okay?" Rin asked coming from behind grasping his sleeve of his right arm. Sesshomaru looked down to her ready to ask why she even cared when he nearly killed the both of them but stopped when his golden eyes met with her dark chocolate ones.

His shoulders slumped slightly at her as he sighed, Rin would probably hate no one even if they killed her she would find someway to forgive them or make an excuse for their behavior. "I honestly, don't know, he is a confusing human," Sesshomaru answered.

He watched with slight sadness as the usual brightness in those brown orbs faded at that their lights going dim her voice giving way to sorrow. "I just want him to be okay," she whispered before taking Sesshomaru's hand. She watched silently as if waiting for Neko to jump out and yell that it was all a play and that he was okay and not under control by Kaugra. But nothing happened as she pulled herself together.

"Let's go Milord, we have to get back to Otaku, you know how very suspicious he gets of us," Rin stated with a new big smile. Sesshomaru felt the tops of his lips move up in a slight smirk but he kept his mask up, he was glad that Rin was with him now. Her smiles brought him more happiness then he was sure she knew.

He squeezed her hand gently making sure his claws didn't scratch her as she looked back with a bright smile.

If only he knew how much I cared for him, if only Rin thought as she looked back to where their camp was and a waiting Otaku.

"I swear you two gave me a greater scare then I have felt in over five hundred years." Otaku scolded before hovering over to rest in Rin's open arms. "Oh, poor Otaku, well we're here now, and I think...I need more sleep, then we'll see about what we'll do about the next stone," Rin answered with another smile at the sword.

"Will you two sleep together?" Otaku asked innocently as Rin blushed while Sesshomaru glared. "I thought you were asleep," Rin stated and felt her blush intensify thinking it sounded like a small child had come into their parent's room.

"Do you want to sleep with me?" Rin asked Otaku as the sword chuckled while Sesshomaru felt his eyebrow twitch in slight annoyance. Rin was so open with her questions she had no idea how much that offer sounded like she wanted to sleep with Otaku, even though he was a sword.

He couldn't help but feel overly envious, if only Rin asked him that, but the thought caused a foreign color to coat his usual pale-like cheeks. "Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin's small voice asked as he turned to look at her his cheeks paling once more.

He blinked in surprise when he saw her cheeks as rosy as if she was in the snow in the middle of winter as she held Otaku close to her heart. "Umm...it is still a little chilly out and I was wondering if I, that is if...you and I could umm," he couldn't hide his smirk as he rested on his knees in front of her motioning her to lay beside him.

"Don't fret Rin, relax sleep," he whispered as she rested on his shoulder as he got off his knees to sit more comfortable letting her rest against his chest while she sat in his lap.

Her frail body melted nicely against his broad and powerful chest as she let her head rest against his shoulder. "Thank you, Sesshomaru..." she whispered subconsciously as she drifted off again. Moving back her bangs Sesshomaru watched as she slept before taking a small flower that had fallen from a tree some distance away.

"Something that will match your beauty," the demon whispered as he placed the violet flower in her hair that looked surprisingly like the one on her outfit. "You know, all I need for this a romantic candlelight, some music from flutes, a few of those flowers on some beautifully carved wooden tables. Maybe a few dances, a few hugs and kisses there," Otaku stated and Sesshomaru knew that if the sword had a face it would be smirking at him.

"Do you ever shut up?" Sesshomaru asked back as the sword nervously laughed, "Not until I am freed from this sword or this sword is destroyed," Otaku answered but then began to shake slightly in Rin's soft hold. "You wouldn't..." the sword whispered but noting Sesshomaru's odd smirk he couldn't help but shiver.

"Rin...help me," Otaku squeaked but the human woman still slept as she snuggled more deeply into Sesshomaru chest letting her hand rest against his muscular front stopping Sesshomaru's glare to look down at her. "Sesshomaru...no," she whispered gently as Sesshomaru relaxed as did Otaku who whispered a thankful prayer.

But what Sesshomaru did not hear was Rin's last comment, "No Sesshomaru, don't...go,"
