Chapter Thirty One
Sesshomaru took off in the forest wondering why Saige took off like that. He was glad that she didn't notices what happened between him and Rin. He was that close to kissing Rin, but didn't due to interruption. He was upset at the interruption at first, but when he saw Saige took off without noticing him, all the upset was gone and was replaced with concern and confusion. He finally caught up to her and saw her got up, staring at him.
He approaches up to her and notices her expression was mixed with anger and sad, but it was quickly replaced with a cold expression.
"I needed to clear my mind," came her reply as he walked toward him.
"Clear your mind from all emotion," he asked causing her to stop and glares at him.
"I don't have such emotion at all," she states coldly.
Sesshomaru walked up to her "You're not very honest with yourself".
Saige walked passed him when he grabs her arm, stopping her.
"It hurt to feel emotion doesn't it?" Sesshomaru asked.
She turns and looked at him "Emotion is what make demons weak and I for one don't let my emotion get the best of me or let it get in the way of my mission".
"But that doesn't mean you don't care for your loved ones," Sesshomaru says.
Saige looked away and gazes up at the sky "It's true that I care for my loved ones and would do anything to protect them even if I have to died," she admitted.
Sesshomaru feel like Saige was opening up to him. He already figured out her secret, which is dealing with her curse, but still have this feeling that there is something else she haven't told him yet. It likes she was trying to keep him from finding out. That could possibly mean that she was trying to protect him and Rin. He would questions Saige about it, but decides not to pressure her because of what she has been through earlier with Kiyomi.
"Emotions are something that demons has to deal with in a stage weakness, even I have to deal with it," Saige turns and looked at him in surprises "But that doesn't mean emotion make you weak".
Saige blinks her eyes in confusion
"It's depend on if you can control it and don't let it show to your enemy," Sesshomaru finishes his sentence.
A small smile sudden appears on Saige's face and Sesshomaru knew that Saige understand what he was trying to tell her. He lets go of her arm and placed his hand on her shoulder "Let's go".
Saige nods and was about leave with Sesshomaru when suddenly a scent reaches her nose. She looked at Sesshomaru and notices that he was looking over at the direction where the scent was coming from.
"Viper," she heard her father says
"He's near where the others are," she told her father.
Saige and Sesshomaru transform into a ball of light and flew off into the forest.

Rin was standing outside the hut when Kagome came out "You should come inside, it starting to get cold out here," she suggests.
"No, I'm fine," Rin replied "I want to make sure Lord Sesshomaru and Saige return back here".
"Don't worry they'll be back," Kagome assured Rin.
Rin turns and looked at Kagome "I guess you right," she says and was about to go in with Kagome when out of nowhere a tentacle appears and wrapped around Rin's waist and pulled her away from Kagome "Kagome!"
"Rin!" Kagome ran after Rin
"Rin!" Jaken yelled as she ran behind Kagome.
Inuyasha, Ella, and Kohaku ran out of the hut just as Sango, Miroku, and Shippo ran over to them.
An evil laugher was heard.
"Cobramaru," Inuyasha says, recognizes the laugh and the scent.
"I impress that you recognize me, Inuyasha," Cobramaru appears, floating in the sky holding Rin in his arms.
"Rin!" Kagome shouted as she grabs an arrow from behind her back.
"I wouldn't shoot that arrow if I were you," Cobramaru warned "If you do then Rin will died by my hand".
Kagome lowers her bow and arrow, worrying for Rin safety
Rin was struggling to break free, but Cobramaru tighten his grip.
"What a shame that Saige and Sesshomaru aren't here to see this," Cobramaru smirks when he notices Sesshomaru and Saige was not here.
"What do you do to them?" Inuyasha shouted.

Viper was running in the forest when two ball of light appears in front of him.
He smirks "Well if isn't Saige and Sesshomaru, what do you want?"
"I should be the one asking that," Saige coldly replied.
"Ooh," he glances at Sesshomaru and Saige "What this, so you and daddy are teamig up and destroy me".
"Hn," Sesshomaru says as he held up his claws.
Viper sighs and shrugs "its shame that you are so clueless".
Sesshomaru glares at Viper and cracked his knuckles, stretching out his claws. Then he swings his claws at Viper who dodges out the way "Look like I strikes a nerve," he taunts.
A fist suddenly collides into Viper's face sending him tumbling backward. Viper touches his face and look to see Saige standing in front in him glaring coldly at him.
"Saige is that the best you can do?" He rubs his face "I thought you were going to use your demonic power on me" He stares at her and notices something "Oh I see, you don't have your pow...," Viper was grabs by the throat with his feets dangling above the ground by Saige who was fuming that he reveals about her losing her demonic power due to the affect of the curse "I don't need my demonic power to destroy you, I can snap your throat this instant with my claws," she snarled at him coldly.
Sesshomaru was now staring at Saige with an emotionless expression, but inside he was mixed with anger and shock to find about Saige loosing her demonic power due to Cobramaru's curse. That really made him furious. It took him by surprised when Saige grabs Viper by the throat, and lift Viper up with one hand.
Sesshomaru approaches to Saige "Saige?" He notices she was staring at Viper as if she was reading Viper's mind.
"This is a trap," she says a minute later and Sesshomaru eyes slightly widen "Viper lures me and you away from the others so Cobramaru can get to them.
She hurls Viper who flew backward and slams his back hard against a tree.
Viper claps his hands "Bravo, you finally figure it out" he remarked as he slowly got up and Sesshomaru glares at him "But by time you return back to others, it would be a little too late," he says before he disappears.
"We better go now!" Saige told her father and turns to walk away.
Sesshomaru grabs her arms and pull her close to him "We are flying," he told her.
Saige slightly nods and a cloud forms underneath her and Sesshomaru. Then he took off fast into the sky.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}
"What did you do to Sesshomaru and Saige," Inuyasha yelled.
Cobramaru smirks "Relax, Saige and Sesshomaru are not harm, not yet any way".
Inuyasha gritted his teeth "Let's Rin go!" he growls.
"I believe I can't do that," Cobramaru disagreed.
"What do you want from us?" Kagome asked.
"Now that you are asking, I do want something from you," Cobramaru gaze at everyone "Give me the little girl and I'll let Rin go as promise".
Inuyasha, Kagome, Ella, and Rin eyes widen.
"No don't do it!" Rin screams, but stops when Cobramaru's tentacle tightens around her waist making it difficult to breath.
"So, what's going to be?" Cobramaru asked.
"NEVER! I would never give Kiyomi to you!" Inuyasha retorted.
"Very well, then I shall take Rin," he says and disappears.
"NO, RIN!" Kagome ran forward, but Inuyasha grabs her arms back "Inuyasha, let me go, I must saved Rin," she cried.
"It's too late, Cobramaru is gone," Inuyasha told her.
"How am I going to explain this to Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken asked, shaking in fear that his master would killed him if anything happen to Rin.
"Sesshomaru and Saige will be upset if they know what happened to Rin," Sango says.
"I believe you are right, Sango," Miroku agreed.
"Miroku?" Sango blinks her eyes confused, but then she notices Miroku was staring at something. So she turns and looked at what Miroku was staring at. Her eyes widen when she saw Saige and Sesshomaru standing in front of Kagome and Inuyasha. Their expression wasn't happy at all. Jaken gulps and hastily dashes behind Kohaku.
"Master Jaken," Kohaku says as he looked down at Jaken who trembling in fear.
Inuyasha sighs and step forward "Sesshomaru, I can explain".
TBC: Uh Oh this is bad. I wonder how Saige and Sesshomaru and the others going to save Rin.
