By: Dawn R.

 

Sesshoumaru was in the Northern Lands, looking for a cure for Rin. She fell ill from Naraku's poisonous gas has not recovered. Sesshoumaru was very tempted in visiting Lord Sethiroth for he had just about any remedy for recovering from every type of poisonous gas, bites, ect. The weather there was very bleak, and extremely bitter, Sesshoumaru could with stand this type of environment, however not for long.

Off in a distant, Ayna was near by observing the Takai Youkai. She wore an outfit that disguised her self in the blanket of snow. He was not from here at least from this part of the land. Ayna got closer to the youkai, as she got closer to view the youkai. She could not help but watch at him. Ayna awoke her self from the gaze and began to ask why he was here.

 

Ayna: “You, you are not from here; tell me what is it that brings you here.”

 

Sesshoumaru looked around and saw no one, at first he contemplation that his mind was playing tricks on him. Ayna perceive that he could not distinguish where she was, nor could he smell her not even sense her.

 

Sesshoumaru: “Show yourself where ever you are.”

 

Ayna stood in front of Sesshoumaru and then began uncovering her hood away from her face. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at her Ayna gazed up at him.

 

Ayna: “I am Ayna…”

Sesshoumaru: “I am here to see Sethiroth.”

Ayna: “Sethiroth…is my older brother, I will lead you to the Castle.”

Sesshoumaru told Ayna that there would be no way of him to even know which way to head up to the castle. Ayna called for her horse, a huge almost invisible horse came to Ayna's side.

Sesshoumaru: “I take it that your horse can take us there?”

Ayna: “Yes, only because the snow is very deep and a snowstorm is soon to arrive at any moment if we do not depart here now.”

Sesshoumaru got up on top of the horse, and then he assisted Ayna on top of her horse. She sat in front while Sesshoumaru sat behind her. The two embark on riding off to the Castle where they would see Sethiroth.

Once they arrived, Ayna waited for the servants to open the grand door for not only Sesshoumaru and her in but also her horse inside too.

Sesshoumaru: “Your brother permits you to bring in your horse?”

Ayna: “Yes, he does. There is two separate halls one for horses and other animals the other for demons like us. The servants will take me horse back into the stalls.”

As the servants came to assist the guests, one of the servants took Ayna's horse back into the stable. Sethiroth came to see who arrived with his sister.

Seth: “Aynastasia, who is our guest…(Seth saunter closer and realized who it was) Lord Sesshoumaru, well I say it has been a while. What brings you here?”

Sesshoumaru: “I am here to ask if you have anything to help Rin from the poisonous gas she has received from Naraku.”

Running fast in the hallway was Megan; she was quickly trying to reach Ayna.

Megan: “Mamma! Mamma!”

Sesshoumaru looked in the direction where Megan was running.

Megan: “That Naraku tried to kill Rin…the one you rescued two months ago. We need to…”

Megan stopped and realized there was a guest. She apologized and introduced herself. Sesshoumaru remembered someone rescuing Rin; he just never learned her name up until now. Seth was well aware what Ayna did then. He was hoping to give his little sister her site back; the time she risked her like to save Rin, it cost her loss of voice and seeing from the bitter cold of the Artic Lake.

Seth: “Megan…go and pack you things. It would be best that you go with your mother to Sesshoumaru's place. You can be there for Rin when she becomes better. Your duty there would be building up her strength. Here… (Seth hands Sesshoumaru a small jar of liquid.) This should bring her out of the state she is in. This will take for a human one day for it to take affect.”

Megan ran fast to her room and packed her belongings. Ayna left to inform the servant to get her horse out again. Seth asked Sesshoumaru to follow him off the side of the hallway.

Seth: “Sesshoumaru…My sister has not regained her site yet, I am just letting you know that she will refuse anybody to help her in her needs. Ayna can also help Rin. It will not strain her, I have a feeling that it may help her site to come back to normal.”

Sesshoumaru: “I remember what happened then; I never knew her name or who she was. Up until now.”

Seth: “If you need to know more about her just ask her…trust me you will find out it would be worth asking those kind of questions. I already know that you have a few questions to ask her.”

Megan ran to both Sesshoumaru and Seth. Ayna came with her horse. Megan had her fuzzy blanket already wrapped around herself. Ayna was already on her horse; Seth picked up Megan and handed her to Ayna's arms. Sesshoumaru got on the horse last. The servants opened the grand doors where they began riding away and into the blizzard.

 

Sesshoumaru could not see all he saw was white all around. Obviously, this horse knew where it was going. This trip would have taken two days worth; instead, the horse was huge and fast. Minutes later Sesshoumaru was glad to see his castle. As they arrived, Sesshoumaru was the first one to be off the horse, Megan uncovered herself form the blanket she was in then hopped off the horse. Ayna was the last to mount off her horse.
