Thank you for the reviews, I really appreciate it. Delayed update due to a pileup of homework. Anyway, here's another short story.
Disclaimer: I will never own anything from Inuyasha.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lightning flashed across the sky as rain poured down in immeasurable amounts. It had been like this for the last several days, with no end in sight. No one was outside, except for two figures.
Rin was happily running around, excited with the flashes of lightning. There hadn't been any thunder, so she wasn't scared at the monment.
Sesshomaru followed at a distance, occasionally shaking himself to try and rid himself of the rain. He had sent Jaken away a few days earlier, but because of the rain, he hadn't returned. Sesshomaru glanced up as Rin spoke.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Can we stay in there for awhile?" Rin asked.
Sesshomaru looked at what Rin was pointing at. It was a village, with a rather large palace in the middle of it. Sesshomaru nodded his consent, and Rin sped off towards the enormous building. Sesshomaru followed, casting occasional glaces at his surroundings, sensing something. The feeling passed, but Sesshomaru still kept a sharp eye out for trouble.
Five minutes later, Rin and Sesshomaru were inside the palace, drying off near a fireplace.
When Rin was warm, she began to explore the room they were in. Since no one had stopped them from coming in, she decided that she was entitled to look everywhere.
Sesshomaru glanced around. He didn't smell any human other than Rin in ths place. He only picked up a faint demon scents. Sesshomaru doubted that another demon would bother them, but still... "Rin, do not leave this room..." Sesshomaru stopped short, noticing that Rin wasn't there anymore. He heard giggling further down the hall. Sesshomaru frowned. Were all young humans so energetic? Sesshomaru walked in the direction he heard Rin giggling, still staying alert for anything unusual.
--------------
Further back in the palace, a demon lounged in a bed, surrounded by cushions and blankets. All you could see of the demon were two glowing red eyes. The rest of it as invisible. The demon had come to the village a few months ago, and had driven away or destroyed its inhabitants. The demon was extremely bored, and was about to go sleep again, when it heard giggling. It also heard the sound of someone passing the room it was in.
The demon came wide awake, its teeth momentarily visible as it smiled in satisfaction. "Ah, entertainment at last." The demon disappeared altogether, following the noisy human that dared to trespass in its palace. The demon went cautiously, because it sensed another demon, a powerful one, inside its palace as well.
-----------
Rin explored the palace with wide eyes. It was enormous! She paused to look at a few statues, before going into another room, which contained a bed and a window. The storm was still raging on. Rin jumped in fright when the door slammed shut. She hurried over to it, and tried to open the door. It wouldn't budge. Rin stiffened at the sound of a sinister voice.
"Little human...what are you doing in my palace?"

Please review and let me know what you thought about this one. This is a two part short story. I have a 4-day weekend so I will be able to update before Monday.
