When Rin awoke, she expected to be greeted by the warm rays of the sun and to the welcoming sound of her Lord’s orders. However, she was in a dimly, torch lit area and there was an odd clanking noise echoing the walls. When her eyes adjusted to darkness, she saw that she was is some sort of cave. She was laying on a paper-thin mat that did little to comfort her from the rough, rocky floor. She shot up in shock, but later regretted it.
She must’ve fallen hard, or at least she felt like that. She ached all over. Just then, she heard footsteps approaching. She couldn’t move, so she laid back down and pretended to be asleep.
“ Yes, shell make a fine little worker.” A low voice said, then chuckled.
“ I am glad you approve, Master.” Another said
“ Wake her up, then put her to work with the others.”
“ Yes Master!”
Rin relaxed when she heard someone walk away, then shivered in fear when she heard the other steps getting closer to her. “ Lord Sesshomaru.” She whispered the plea. Then, harsh hands grabbed her shoulders and shook her roughly.
“ Hey! Wake up girl!”
Rin opened her eyes in shock. She gasped at the figure above. It was a ghastly figure, his face scarred and torn on all sides. He was obviously a demon. He had a human form, but his head was the shape of a fish, and his hands were webbed. When he saw her eyes open he grinned evilly. “ Time for you to get to work. Now get up!” He yelled.
“ But my leg, I think it’s broken.” Rin cried.
The demon only slapped her across her face. “ Insolence! You will not speak unless spoken too and you will address me as Master Shiki! Understood?” His shouting had caused Rin to close her eyes and turn her head away from him.
“ Yes Master Shiku.” She sobbed.
“ Good. Now get up!”
It was daylight out now, and Sesshomaru still walked along side the stream with Jaken, and Ah-Un both following close behind. Jaken opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again. He had already learned his lesson not to question his lord three times now as they walked. Then, Sesshomaru stopped so abruptly that Jaken hadn’t noticed, causing him to smash right into the back of his leg.
Jaken immediately bowed on the ground. “ Please forgive me Milord!” He begged. Jaken waited for his punishment, but when nothing happened, he looked up to Sesshomaru. “ Uh, Milord?” Sesshomaru was now facing the stream and staring intently into it. When Jaken shifted his gaze to it, he discovered why. He gasped when he saw the large whirlpool spinning frantically. He then noticed Sesshomaru move to his sword.
“ Stand back.” Sesshomaru told him, with no concern in his voice. Jaken immediately grabbed Ah-Un’s reigns and led him far behind Sesshomaru, then turned to see what it was he was about to do.
Sesshomaru lifted his sword into the air, then began to slowly spin it in a small circle. Wind began to swirl around it, and when he obtained enough, Sesshomaru swung his sword downward in the direction of the whirlpool. A gust of wind flew from the sword and mixed with that of the twister in the water. In only a moment, Sesshomaru’s wind took over and split the whirlpool in two, causing both sides to thrust up into the air. Once high into the air, the water came together once more, but this time, in the form of a large face.
“ How dare you!” The face growled. Sesshomaru only looked up at it with little interest. The face contorted in anger then rushed toward Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru easily jumped into the air, avoiding the attack, then swung his sword at the water while hovering above it. “ NOOO!” The water wailed, then shattered into millions of pieces.
Sesshomaru landed gracefully on the ground as the water fell like rain around him. He then watched the stream as it swirled and twisted, until finally it came together and shot into the air once more. However, this time, when the water fell, it brought many beings with it, throwing them carelessly on both sides of the stream. Sesshomaru’s eyes scanned the bodies. Most were humans, the others demons, but there were no children. Slowly, one by one, they groaned and sat up from the ground. They all gasped and screamed with joy when they awoke.
Sesshomaru gave them strange looks, as did Jaken when he approached his master’s side. “ What is going on Milord?” Jaken asked, very confused by the situation. Sesshomaru only winced, he was not mad, only aggravated that he did not know what was going on. When the demons began to awake, the humans began to panic and run away. Some demons gave chase, while others just looked around, and then soon followed. It appeared they had all left. Then Sesshomaru caught a scent…her scent.
He turned around sharply, but she wasn’t there. It was only a young woman, but she was staring at him strangely. Her eyes were wide and her breathing was rapid. But she did not appear to be shocked by the current happenings, but rather, by him. He looked her up and down, then looked uncaringly into her eyes. “ Who are you?” He asked.
“ Lord…Sesshomaru…” She whispered so lowly he barely heard it. “ Lord Sesshomaru!” This time she screamed it and ran towards him. She crashed into him, her arms grabbing him tightly and pulling herself into him. Sesshomaru grabbed her shoulders, then pushed her away at arms length. Tears flowed freely from her eyes, those big brown eyes.
Sesshomaru’s eyes widened for a moment in realization, then quickly returned to their natural state. “ Rin.”
