Writer's Yaps: Ok, I know this chap is really short, I've been pretty busy lately. I've begun chapter 4 so please watch out for that in a few days. Please still take the time to read this. I'm still not sure how Rin would react to Sesshoumaru when she wakes up. Haha!

 

 

Thanks for all the reviews minna-san! I'm still open for suggestions…enjoy!

Chapter 3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She was lying on the ground when he found her. The rain was beating down on her frail body and the water had washed the dirt off of her, making her appear ghostly white. Her eyes were closed and her tattered kimono barely covered her ravished nakedness. She was mindless of the cold, and her stillness made it seem as if she was already dead. But he could tell that she was not.

 

 

Sesshoumaru enfolded Rin in his arms and surrounded them with a barrier to keep the rain out. He wrapped her gently in his fur stole, carefully sensing that she did not have any broken bones. Her eyes fluttered for a moment but they did not open. He wanted to ask her if she was alright, but he did not want to wake her. When he thought of the hell his Rin had been through, he wanted to kill.

 

 

He had hacked their limbs off and blinded them, their arms and legs severed viciously from their bodies. And with his Meidou Zangetsouha, he had sent them straight to the fires of hell, while they still had breath in their bodies. Those despicable bastards would be wandering the world of the dead maimed and unseeing. Their cries would have doubtless been pitiful, and it won't be long until a monstrous fiend came and fed on their sorry flesh, which is more than they deserve. He had the uncontrollable urge to finish them off immediately, but he stayed his hand. It would have been an unjust punishment. They should have been tortured for all eternity.

 

 

Now he must go back. He felt a chill run through his entire being. What was it? Sesshoumaru closed his eyes for a moment. Trepidation, yes, that was it. There was a sour taste in his mouth. His eyes snapped open in alarm. He was dreading the thought of facing her.

 

 

Gathering his whirlwind cloud, he rose up into the air.

“Riiiin! Sesshoumaru-sama!!”

 

 

Startled, Ayume shot to her feet. The girl had not awakened. She headed for the door and looked out. A two-headed horse was standing next to the cherry tree. A two-headed horse? It looked more like a beast of some sort, a dragon maybe. What was it doing here? And that voice she heard…whose was it? That horse couldn't have talked, could it? Ayume squinted, for the night and the drizzle made it hard to see. There was something sitting atop the creature. And it resembled a toad. A toad? What on earth was going on? First, a daiyoukai and a girl appear on her doorstep, and now these?

 

 

The toad spied her standing just inside the door. It jumped to the ground and began walking awkwardly towards her, waving a stick in the air. “You!” it pointed an accusing finger at her. “Where are Rin and Sesshoumaru-sama?” It started to run. His short legs caught on the hem of his robes, causing him to trip. He cursed as he launched himself up.

 

 

Ayume continued to stare. She assumed that the toad was referring to the girl in her care (Rin) and the daiyoukai (Sesshoumaru-sama). So this creature was probably their companion, or more like a servant perhaps.

 

 

“The girl is inside, resting. Your master however is…” the sentence was left hanging as the servant gave a loud yelp and rushed to the girl's side.

 

 

`Rin, what happened to you? I'm so sorry, Sesshoumaru-sama would kill me for letting this happen to you…oh, Rin. Poor, poor Rin!”

 

 

He was clearly distraught. Tears had gathered at the corners of his eyes. Jaken whirled to face Ayume and demanded, “What happened to Rin?”

 

 

“She had been raped. This Sesshoumaru-sama you speak of has left to find the ones who did this to her.”

 

 

Jaken could not speak. He turned to look at Rin. It was his fault. He shouldn't have left Rin alone like that. His tears started to gush down in hot streaks. Rin…he never really liked her…or didn't he? She did not deserve this. Sesshoumaru-sama would surely kill him for this. And his death would not be swift.

 

 

“Do you have a name, youkai?”

 

 

Jaken swallowed the lump in his throat. Strangely he felt like weeping. Rin looked so pale, so cold…she looked dead. “J-J-Jaken,” he said simply. His Nintoujo slipped from his grasp and clattered to the floor, then he fell on his knees and began to cry.

 

 

 

 

“Oh hush, now, she's going to be fine.” Ayume watched the poor toad with some concern. They have all been through a terrible ordeal. Her glance strayed to her husband. He was gazing at Rin with a woeful expression. That's right, their daughter Nana, would have been Rin's age now, if she had lived. Youkai had slaughtered her children, and now she was caring for a youkai's ward. How ironic life was. She sighed inwardly. They must all get some rest, it would be dawn soon. And he would be back.
