Previously on the Last Episode Of Great Dog's Devotion:

(I knew then that the girl was safe with the creature gone, but then the pain had resurfaced and it was too much to bear that I was rendering unconscious...Then everything went black.)

…-...-...-...-...

Sesshomaru P.O.V.

I walked towards the girl as I put my sword away in its sheath. I stopped a few feet away as I saw that she was unconscious, I stood there watching her in a sleep-like state. Strangely enough, it feels like as though I was being pulled towards her, wanting to get closer.

But I quickly moved away trying to rid of the feeling I was having towards her. I wanted to leave her there so I turned away and started to leave. Suddenly, I felt the beast within me howling in joy and sadness, as it wanted to burst out on my body as I looked upon her again, but I wouldn't let the beast out, I concentrated to keep it under my control by looking away from her and it growled at me in fury.

"She is the one we seek, pick her up and bring her with us or I will burst out and take matters into my own hands."The beast said as it growled. I frowned at the beast, I sighed as I glimpsed back at her, wanted nothing to do with her but everything to do with her.

I quickly looked away, calculating made my options but there wasn't any other choice and I deeply sighed. I looked at her and went to her, kneeling down as close as I possibly could tolerate and gently picked her up. She was surprisingly light, had a small waist like a doll children would carry around which made it eaiser to hold her with one arm. She stirred a bit with a whimper but didn't wake up.

At first she smelled of blood from the demons and her own, I had the urge to lick some off her cheek but I stomped it down. Underneath all of the scents on her, there was one in particular I picked up...it was Rin's scent.

I frowned in confusion as I went back to Ah-Un with the girl in my arm. When I got to Ah-Un, Jaken ran up to me with fear in his body and shouted. I've wondered why I kept him all this time, since he was irritating with his constant babbling of his high pitch voice.

"What is it Jaken? Where is Rin?" I said as I put the girl on Ah-Un as I turned to him. "That's what I'm telling you...Rin was playing around and I lost her for a second, I found her playing in the river, that's when a spiderhead showed up and went to attack her, but a girl grabbed her and ran. Then I lost them again but heard commotion deeper in the forest...but please forgive me My Lord." He said as he bowed to the ground.

I turned as I caught Rin's scent in the wind and followed it while holding Ah-Un's line and Jaken following in tow. "Rin!...Where are you?...Come out you little pest... No time to play games!" He shouted. I got irritated by his shouting so I stepped over him. He whimpered like a pup as I pasted him.

A few minutes later, I stopped near a thick hollowed tree, where Rin's scent is strongest. "Rin" I said as I saw her pop out of the tree with a smile on her face. "Lord Sesshomaru!" She said as she ran to me.

"What is it Rin?" I said as she tugged on my kimono with urgency. "We have to help a lady, she is being attacked by a demon because she saved me and told me to run to hide until she said it was ok to come out." She said.

I nodded in understanding. "Is this the lady who saved you?" I said as I moved away from Ah-Un to show Rin the unconscious woman. She gasped as she went to the woman, noticing the scratches and the pain shown on woman's face.

Rin looked at me, nodded ad went seeking herbs to heal the woman's wounds. "Jaken...go with Rin." I said. Jaken frowned but listened to my command and went after Rin. After Jaken left, I gently lifted the woman off of Ah-Un and delicately lowered the woman down, leaning her against a tree.

I stepped away, getting some distance between me and the woman. Then rays of sunlight pass through the shade of the tress and beaming down on her. For a moment, I stared at her in the beam of light, the rays highlighted her hair from a dark brown into a fiery red and gold halo, her face was pale like alabaster a with a hint of pink on her cheeks and a glow surround her body apart from the injuries she had.

"She looks like a goddess in the sunlight." I thought as I subconsciously I leaned forward wanting to touch her face. My body moved to it own accord, then I was directly right in front of her. As my fingers reached out to touch her cheek, I stopped as I realized what I was doing and backed away.

My beast growled in anger of the stopped notion. "Why fight your instincts with this delectable creature, she is lovely to look at and to eat...figuratively." The Beast said.

I tsked as I walked to the opposite side, sat against a tree and waited for Rin to return with her herbs to heal the woman. I thought how ridiculous that the beast would think I, Sesshomaru would become succumbed or desire a human, like my father had, no I will not, I will get her healed and when she is, she'll leave, until then...I'll deal with it and ignore her.
