Rin was riding on Ah-Un's saddle, when the beast came to an abrupt halt. Rin wondered why Ah-Un had stopped, but the answer soon became clear as Sesshomaru came into view over a hill before them.
Sesshomaru walked by, ignoring Jaken's stuttered queries, and spoke shortly, "We're going."
Ah-Un automatically turned to follow after the demon lord.
Rin was perplexed that they were headed back the way they had come. Rin then decided then that Sesshomaru knew what he was doing, and settled into the saddle more comfortably to enjoy the scenery of the forest.
Jaken hurried to Sesshomaru's side, glancing over his shoulder at the hill Sesshomaru had come from, "Don't we have to cross that river over the hill to check on that clue about Narkau, Lord Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru continued to walk as if he hadn't heard Jaken.
Jaken frowned to himself, then voiced aloud, "Doesn't this add time, going around all of the dead demons over the hill? Wouldn't it be faster to go through the enemies you've already slain?" Jaken scurried away at the look Sesshomaru threw him.
Rin was again confused by her companions' actions, and would have been further perplexed with the fact that Sesshomaru was leading them the long way around so Rin did not have to see a heap of dead demon corpses. Not that it would have been the first dead body Rin had seen, which had led to Jaken's own confusion.
Sesshomaru continued on his way wordlessly, and his thoughts remained a mystery to Rin, while Jaken was left to ponder the demon lord's actions.
