Yay!

It's chapter TWO!

Everyone clap

(thank you for reading this-I just won a bet with my bro thanks to you)

You're so nice!

I'm not so nice!

There is a cliffie this chapter! (okay, okay, it's small, but it's still a cliffie)

People have died!

I'm sorry!

A kitsune is still alive! (be happy I gave you that)

Please buckle your seatbelts and enjoy the flight!

As Sesshoumaru neared the village, Rin awoke.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, where are you taking Rin?" the young girl asked sleepily.

He took a deep breath, and prepared to answer, until-

"Look, Lord Sesshoumaru! There is smoke in the sky!"

Sesshoumaru's head snapped up. Sure enough, there was a great plume of smoke in the horizon-straight in the direction of the village. He could also smell blood. All types of blood-human blood, demon blood, wolf blood, and hanyou blood.

Rin held on tightly to her Lord as he sped toward the village. Sesshoumaru could feel her clinging tightly to his leg, and slowed down the cloud a bit. Her death grip relaxed slightly.

As they entered the air above the village, the Taiyoukai was stunned at what he saw.

Small fires were burning everywhere. The carnage was astounding-human bodies were scattered everywhere, as were wolf bodies. There was a humongous crater on the northern side of the town, along with a smaller ring of ash and fire close by. The remains of a fine village lay everywhere, as did the stench of that traitorous half-demon, Naraku.

Holding Rin's hand tightly, Sesshoumaru searched the rubble for survivors. Suddenly, his foot clanged on something.

It was the Tetsusaiga.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. What was his brother's precious sword laying here for, like a piece of junk? This sword was InuYasha's lifeblood. Literally. If he did not have his sword, then he would change into a full demon, which would eventually kill him. The sword kept his demon blood under control.

"Rin, pick up the sword."

Rin looked up at her Lord with questioning eyes.

"Rin, I cannot pick up the sword. I am a full demon. It will only allow those with human blood to pick it up."

The young girl nodded, then paused. "Lord Sesshoumaru, someone is crying!"

The demon looked to his right. About 20 meters away, there was a young fox kitsune sobbing over a dead body. Holding Rin's hand, which was in turn holding the Tetsusaiga, Sesshoumaru strode over to the young fox demon.

Rin was deeply moved. She dropped the Tetsusaiga and ran towards the kitsune. She patted his back as he looked fearfully towards Sesshoumaru. He babbled something incoherent about his Mama and hiding and Naraku. Rin, being the same age, and often using that same sort of talk when she was upset, understood exactly what he was talking about. She started to hug the kitsune, and asked him his name.

"S-sh-shippou…"sniffed the kitsune.

"Well, Shippou, Lord Sesshoumaru can bring your mama back! He has a really special sword that can wake people up if they're dead," said Rin brightly.

Shippou looked up at the Taiyoukai hopefully, as did Rin. Sesshoumaru saw Rin's look of anticipation, and let out a slow breath of air. This child really did have him wrapped around her finger.

He walked over to the body, and looked at the face. His eyebrows drew together slightly. It was the young miko he had come to deliver Rin to. Why was she dead? And why was a sacred arrow in her throat? Only two beings could possess such an arrow: the girl, and the undead priestess that InuYasha had loved…

He snapped the arrow, and pulled it out.

Slowly, he unsheathed his Tenseiga. The blade glowed blue in his vision, showing that the girl could still be saved. Sesshoumaru raised the sword, and quickly sliced downwards.

***********

Sesshoumaru saw the girl's chest rise and fall. But that was not what he concentrated on.

`The girl's wounds have not healed!' he thought. `But the Tenseiga should have healed her wounds! Is something wrong with the sword?'

Starting to look the sword over, Sesshoumaru felt a slight tug on his kimono. Rin was there, looking up at him.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, why aren't her cuts all closed? Why didn't the Tenseiga work?"

Sesshoumaru took off his sash and started tearing it into long strips. "It did work, Rin. If you look, she is breathing. As for her wounds…."

Rin watched as her Lord gently staunched the pretty lady's hurts. He took the utmost care in his work, tying the strips around her arms and legs and throat.

The Taiyoukai slowly took the girl's kimono off. Seeing this, Shippou growled and launched himself at Sesshoumaru. Seeing this, Rin stopped Shippou.

" It's okay, Shippou-chan! Lord Sesshoumaru is only trying to help your mama! See, he's clothing her!"

True enough, Sesshoumaru had taken his kimono top off, and was now putting it on the girl. (A/n: there you go, sesshy lovers…but I think that's about as much as you're gonna get, though….)

Sesshoumaru was astounded. Here he was, automatically caring for a human…him, the demon lord who despised humans. Who had tried to kill this girl on numerous occasions. Who would have not regretted killing this girl, until he met Rin. Cursing human emotions, Sesshoumaru picked the girl up, summoning up his cloud. Rin quickly jumped on, motioning for Shippou to come with them…
