A/N I don't own Inuyasha or its' characters.. :(

My breathing was shaking and my lungs were fighting to intake as much air as I could manage. It hurt all over as if I was cut and bruised on every area of my body. There was practically no energy running through me, not even enough to open my eyes and find out where I was. Maybe if I laid here long enough I would slip into a sleep and be taken back to my home and arms of my family and friends.

The air held a promise of rain which further consoled me. Rain was a way of relaxing me and smelling its essence kept me at peace. I felt myself slipping away into a comforting sleep until someone touched my cheek. Someone? It was a small hand, warm compared to my chilled skin. I managed to turn my head and open my eyes ever so slightly. The little girl had the most largest, bright brown eyes that stared curiously and worriedly into my face.

She spoke Japanese, yet it was spoken with a tongue that seemed more.. Odd than that of what I was used to hearing. I sighed, shaking my head slightly to indicate I couldn't understand her. She tilted her head not understanding and continued talking with an adorable smile. It made me grin to see her vibrant attitude. The rain started falling and the cool splashes of water on my face made me more alert.

I sat up slowly and looked around the forest. I asked to take me away and it sends me to a forest? I thought confused. The little girl watched me and started sneezing. Her nose turned a bright pink prompting me to withdraw my blanket from my bag. It was made of soft, crimson velvet and the material seemed to amaze her. I smiled unfolding it and offered half of it to her. Little children always had a special place in my heart for their innocence warmed me. She snuggled close to me suddenly eyeing my clothes inquisitively. Her own clothes were odd.. It was a checkered orange and pale yellow kimino held at the hips with a green sash. I've never seen kids in kiminos unless it was for a festival..

Thunder boomed causing her to snuggle close and I instinctively put a arm around her body. I didn't know who she was but the need to protect her as any other child filled me completely. Her sniffling turned into whimpers and I began singing a song that I remembered consoled me during frightening moments. It was in my native tongue so she watched me, giggling as I sang words she didn't understand but enjoyed. Her head swayed to the song and she hummed the melody. It made her happy for now.

All of sudden, the sound of wood splintering and a loud crash brought us out of our shared joy. Through the flashes of lightening I was able to see a scaly outline of a beast uprooting trees and throwing them to the side, heading straight towards us. I was on my feet pushing the girl behind me and trying to figure out a plan and what that thing was. When it neared us and lightening revealed its hideous scarred face, my heart leaped at my throat. IWhat the fuck kind of animal is this?/I I thought, refusing it to be anything other than that.

It grinned revealing jagged teeth that were stained and licked its thin lips. It took another step towards us and before I knew it, my sword was magically in my hand, pointed and ready to fight. I suddenly wasn't me anymore and I lifted the girl with one arm and slashed at the beast with my other to get past him and put the child to safety. When I settled her near the mouth of a cave, I was able to turn my back fast enough to avoid a jab he threw with a spiked tentacle-like thing that was his hand. Every move he tried I was faster and more cunning on my next move.

Surprisingly, he somehow grew a third arm that knocked me at my ribs into a tree. That knocked the wind and almost the fight out of me. The monster ran at full speed towards me and the best thing I could do was angrily thrust my sword in front of me and yell in frustration. What was left of my energy and emotion seemed to feed into the sword and illuminate it back to life. Bursts of golden light spilled forth and literally wrapped itself around the giant. Searing heat emanated from the light and his roars echoed as whatever it was that produced itself from my sword burned the animal right before my eyes.

Sesshomaru

The smell of rain drifted amongst the air, irritating me as I knew we'd have to rest in a cave or risk Rin getting sick. The only thing that has continuously been entering my mind was that human girl and powerful sword she had. Was she even human or has my senses deceived me? It perplexed me to know she got away with both her life and the sword.

I hadn't noticed that my deep thoughts busied me from Rins requests to go pick some flowers. So when I turned around I only saw Ah Un and Jaken. "Where is Rin, Jaken?"

"My Lord? You gave her permission to pick some flowers." replied the little green, fidgetting toad.

"Have I not instructed you to always go with her, you incompetent fool." I said coldly. It was my own mistake to let Rin wonder off in the dark but I had to vent my frustrations and the little toad was the only one there.

I left Jaken there crying his apologies and set off to track down Rin on her silly adventure. Small raindrops began to fall and the flashes of lightening lit up the stretch of forest. She wasn't so far away, just a little further ahead along with.. A very familiar scent.. Like that one girl and a mix of.. Demon.

I quickened my pace in order to block the demon from attacking Rin. It was a useless, petty demon that seemed to have found its' target. I saw the giant, scaly mound that was its back and was going to end his life quickly. Then end the girls and obtain what I've wanted.

Before my plan went into action, a blur rushed past the beast and appeared at the mouth of the cave with Rin, setting her safely at distance. It was the girl and instead of running away, she flashed her sword and began fighting. Not just fighting, but winning. It was an amusing sight, one I'd see to the end and wait for my turn in battle.

The girl was suddenly down. She hadn't noticed the extra arm the demon had and she went flying in the air. I actually felt myself to be disappointed that she went down and was about to go retrieve Rin after killing the monster myself. And then it happened.

An amazing source of light and power produced itself from the girls weapon. It was ribbons of the sun wrapping itself around the demon. Before I knew it, the creature was gone and the girl was on her feet staring at her own sword, just as shocked at what she had done. She placed it at her hip and went to Rin, kneeling and observing her to make sure she was fine.

When I stepped from my watching spot, they both looked at me. Rin with a smile, her with exasperated eyes. I placed a hand on my sword and walked towards them both. It was finally time to get what I've wanted.

"No, Lord Sesshomaru! Please, she just protected me1" cried Rin, her eyes growing wide as she noticed me removing my weapon from its' sheath. Her small body hugged the girl, almost protecting her. The girl was weary, breathing labored and body shaking from the cold. I didn't care but I couldn't walk away from such power.

She spoke, once again making me wonder where she came from. Her voice and words held nothing but poison and her eyes narrowed. Even in the face of danger she seemed indifferent about dying. It was different..

Rin hugged the girl, almost protecting her and looked at me with knowing eyes. For being a small child, Rin had years of knowledge that surpassed her physical age. I replaced my sword and turned my back. The girl was lucky Rin had just saved her life. I had a new plan, anyways.

We were going to find Megumi, the old family healer who could help with languages. From what I know, she had created an object that was supposed to help the wearer with any known language. Pretty damn convienant, given the situation. When I get to understanding this girl, she would tell me where she had gotten that sword. And give it up willingly now that she saved Rin, I would have to spare her life.

I continued walking, knowing Rin had convinced the girl to come along and stay following. Following. Another human girl under my watch. I inwardly sighed at the thought and found Jaken with Ah Un, ignored his questions and set off on the direction of my intended journey.
