To the story…

Wolf Attack!

Several months had passed since Kagome and Inu yasha's departure. It was a warm spring afternoon, and the sunset had started. The tall trees made the forest a dark place, and the night was making it even darker.

Rin had decided to walk back to the camping place from the meadow she had spent the day in. She could feel the humid leaves cracking under her feet as she walked. As the darkness grew thicker, Rin quickened her pace, hurrying to her destination. She could hardly see the trees surrounding her. Her breathing became harsher, and soon she was panting. Suddenly, some low growls could be heard. As soon as she heard them, she started to walk a little faster. Simultaneously, the growls became pants, making Rin's heartbeat accelerate even more. Running as fast as she could, she grew somewhat exhausted, but kept running for her life. Without warning, she started to lose her balance and tripped over some tree roots. Turning her head and looking back, she saw multiple creatures, whose shadowy bodies were humongous. Their eyes were glowing bright scarlet red, wanting only one thing. Blood.

The creatures took some steps forwards revealing their physique. Their heads and body were a bit similar to a fox to the human eye, but Rin could remember these creatures perfectly. These were the same kind of demons that had attacked her years ago. Wolf demons. Rin panicked with death's fear and tears rolled down her soft cheeks.

"SESSHOUMARU-SAMA, HELP ME!!!!" was the only thing she could say before the wolves decided to close the distance between them and the helpless girl.

"Help me, anyone!!" She screamed in fear. The wolves then attacked her. One of the wolves managed to sink his fangs deep into Rin's right shoulder. The blood started leak out quickly. She kicked one of the wolves in the gut startling the others a bit, making the demons draw back. Since she could barely move, Rin helplessly crawled backwards until she felt a tree's trunk with her back.

"Help me!!!" She screamed in a shaky voice.

She was sobbing, scared to death, not being able to defend herself. Her body was shaking violently. Out of nowhere, silver flashed through her eyes. Next thing she knew, the wolves were missing their heads and several other body parts, blood spraying like there was no tomorrow out of their necks. When she saw Sesshoumaru, she realized he had saved her. Rin lowered her head, curled up in a human ball, weeping and shaking.

"Rin." Sesshoumaru said. His normally expressionless face showed some compassion towards the girl. When he had no response he walked towards Rin. Lowering to her eye level he asked. "Are you all right?" No response again. The question's answer was obvious. She had a wolf's bite on her right shoulder that was bleeding badly. Cupping her face with his hands he said:

"Rin, please don't cry." Rin stared shyly at him, still crying. Frustrated by not being able to calm the girl down, Sesshoumaru wrapped her with his arms, holding and cradling her softly.

As he tightened his grip around her, Rin buried her head in his chest and sobbed somewhat more. Looking down, a slight smile curved up his lips, and a mix of compassion and sadness conquered his gaze, and he kissed her on the forehead. Rin's arms went around Sesshoumaru's waist, giving him a thank you hug, while her sobbing intensified. Stepping up, still with Rin's body in his arms, Sesshoumaru headed back to his castle to tend to her wounds. By the time they arrived, Rin had fallen into a deep slumber. For the first time, Sesshoumaru had felt the fear of losing a loved one. In fact, the one he held dearest. Rin.

<<<<<<<>>>>>>>

When they arrived, it was already pitch black and everybody seemed to be sleeping, except for the personnel working their night shift. All the corridors were decorated with semi-gothic architecture, most details in red and some in golden. Some chandeliers decorated the hallways. Paintings of great demon lords roamed the walls. All of these luxuries, no matter how full of details they were, always seemed without life. A cold breeze was always dwelling within. Sesshoumaru walked through the west wing's corridors swiftly, making no sound. Unaware of her surroundings, Rin was still asleep in his arms. Finally reaching his destination, Sesshoumaru delivered the girl to her room. Laying her in bed, he removed her hair off her face, admiring her childish beauty. As if by instinct, unable to resist the urge, Sesshoumaru placed a soft kiss on Rin's small lips. Then he simply turned around and headed for his own room.

An hour later, a confused Rin woke up in an unfamiliar surrounding. "Where... Oh! Sesshoumaru-sama's castle! How did I..." Remembering the previous events, Rin lowered her head. `Domo arigato Sesshoumaru-sama, you saved my life today. How can I ever thank you?' Then she thought of a present someone had given her in the previous months. `Should I...? I mean, would it be appropriate?'

Rin climbed off her bed and headed outside her room. The corridor led straight to a red stairway that was the entrance to the master bedroom. His bedroom. `Sesshoumaru-sama's room...' Before she knew it she was halfway up the red steps. When she arrived at the door she knocked two times. There was no response. Hesitating a bit she knocked a second time.

"Yes, come in." Rin heard through the thick door. Pushing the door a bit was all there was needed to open it, since it was already unlocked. Sesshoumaru could see the wooden door open slowly. Having expected Jaken or one of the west wing servants, Sesshoumaru was quite taken aback when Rin walked through the door. Still his face was as expressionless as ever.

"Um, may Rin speak to Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin was blushing violently, for she was awake at the middle of the night and bothering her master.

"Yes, you may." Sesshoumaru had never admitted it to himself, but he loved it when Rin spoke in third person. He actually thought it was cute.

"I-I wanted to t-thank you for s-saving my l-life earlier." Rin was stammering of a mix of shyness and embarrassment. Both her hands were behind her and her right ankle a little twisted.

"So, is this is what you came to speak to me about? You do not need to thank me, for it is my duty." `Duty?!' Both of them thought of it at the same time, but decided to ignore the fact that the word was spoken.

"But Rin wanted to give you a present in return! Can Rin still give it to Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin was almost pleading him. Of course, Sesshoumaru wouldn't try to disappoint Rin in any way, and the idea of her giving him a present made him somewhat curious and highly interested in the girl's intentions.

"You may still give me the present." Sesshoumaru said.

"But you must promise not to abandon Rin after she gives you the present!" Rin said in a slightly resentful tone.

"I promise." `Why would I ever abandon my sweet Rin because of something she would give me?' The thought instantly rushed through his head before Rin spoke again.

"Here! Kagome-chan gave it to me before she left. I thought you might like it." Rin handed him the small reddish brown bad she had been keeping secretly. "It's a like a genie. When you call her, she will grant you a wish. Any wish you ever want!"

Sesshoumaru gave a quick glance at the bag. It seemed like an insignificant bag with an object inside. `It must be a mere child's toy. Still, what would Rin give me?' As he thought this, he sot of chuckled to his insides. "Thank you for this present Rin. Now you must return to your room and sleep. You must gain energy after what happened today."

Without hesitation, Rin gave a happy, wide smile to her lord, and headed to her room skipping happily. Sesshoumaru waited for Rin to arrive at her room to open his gift. Carefully, he pulled the string that kept the opening together. To his surprise this was no child's toy, instead it was something no child should be allowed to ever hold. The Shikon no tama. He had thought that Inu yasha's woman had taken it with her to her time. But there it was, in his very hands. `What should I do with this? What would Rin be doing with such an object…? I will not decide now, for it's power is not needed.' Thus he covered the sphere in its wrappings and kept it in a secret place, so no one would ever find it; and eventually, he forgot about it too.
