AN: It has been brought to my attention the misspelling of
Sesshomaru�s name in previous chapters. I apologize and I will fix this!!

Sango slammed Rin against the
wall. �What the hell are you doing here?� she growled. �Are you after Kenji?�

�Get off of me,� Rin
commanded. She grabbed Sango�s hand pressing her thumb in the pressure point,
in between Sango�s forefinger and thumb, and then twisted it clockwise. A
painful shocked expression formed on Sango�s face as she found body pressed up against
the wall face first. She expected no less from the youngest commander of the
demon hunter, only a few hops and a skip from being considered an elder.
�Kenji�s a friend and we were having lunch together,� she replied through
gritted teeth.

�A friend?� Sango gasped then
frowned as she struggled. �I have never known you to be a liar, O-Rin. Not even
to be so low as to even associate with demons much less be friends with one.�

Rin paused slightly. The
words flowed from her before she even had the chance to think. She mentally
cursed herself. She never did lie, but she was an excellent practitioner of
deceit if it called for it. �I am not a liar.�

�Then you don�t anything
about the coup that happened amongst the upper ranks of the Demon Hunter
elders?�

Rin released her grip on
Sango and turned her around. She searched the older girl�s eyes looking for
traces of trickery and saw none. �What�is Pater okay?�

Dark eyes softened. �You
really don�t know?� Sango sighed rubbing her wrist. �Pater is the one who
launched the coup and killed half of the elders.�

�That�s impossible,� Rin
shook her head. �He would not kill our clan unless they betrayed us�.�

�Or unless they disagreed
with him,� Sango commented. �This is why the demon exterminators had little to
do with the demon hunters in the first place. There were too many like Pater
that wanted continuous confrontation.�

�You make Pater seem like the
traitor,� Rin accused. Her eyes flashed an angrily. She would not tolerate such
talk.

Sango met Rin�s intensity. �You
just don�t get it do you? Pater is a power hungry bigot who is bent on taking
over everything. Rin shook her head in protest as her anger started to take
hold. �Then why did you leave?�

Rin turned away. There was no
way she could answer that question without jeopardizing the mission. On top of
that, she had her own questions, about Pater staging coups and killing fellow
hunters. Why didn�t he yell her about it? He must have suspected something
might come about, but why not tell her? �I�m going for a walk. Tell Kenji I
went home and next time lunch is on me�well I�ll pay for it anyway.�

Sango smiled slightly at
Rin�s correction. Yes, there was clearly something different. The woman that stood
in front of her had some warmth and did not seem like the killing machine that
she had the displeasure of meeting years back. She nodded then grabbed Rin by
the wrist. �I know there�s more than you�re telling, but if you so much as harm
Kenji or the others without reason, I�ll kill you.�

�And if it comes to that then
I look forward to seeing you try.� Rin wrenched her arm away and left.

�Arrogant bitch,� Sango
sighed. Her mind was working a mile a minute. Rin�s appearance seemed to be too
coincidental. The first thing that came to her mind was an undercover mission,
but Rin was not the type to send on a mission of that nature. The dark haired
hunter was too much of a kill first and ask no questions type. She was
emotionally scarred and took out any demon without a second thought. No, there had to be something more going on
here. It was one thing, to be around demons another to actually socialize and
Rin looked as though she had been enjoying herself until she laid eyes on her
past. Sango balled her fist in frustration. �What
would have happened foe her to turn to her so called enemy?�

�I can�t believe this is
happening,� Rin muttered while she walked into the maze. She needed to clear
her head and what better place than nature. She was already there anyway. Being
amongst the few things in life that made her happy would allow her to forma a game
plan.

The garden maze was your
standard square one. Make all right turns, or left ones, and one could almost
always find their way out. This was a comforting thought in the back of her
mind while walking. Lush Kelly green surrounded her with splashes of color here
and there once she reached a corner pocket. She would have loved to sit on of
the benches and inspect it further.

�You�re finally alone,�
Kagura sneered.

Rin spun around on her heel
and reached for her non-existent sword. �Shit.� Her eyes narrowed. She was in
the middle of a garden maze defenseless with a demon bitch that believed that
her intended had been stolen from her. This was just perfect, taken out by the
very vermin she tried to stamp out existence. Live by the sword and die by the
sword, or fan in this case. This was turning out not to be a pulchritudinous
day.

�This is a picture; the
defenseless peasant bitch about to beg for mercy.�

Rin looked around trying to
assess her options. �Oh, I can assure
you that will be the last thing to happen.�

Kagura smiled. Her prey was
already desperate. She would enjoy this. �Are you ready for me to send you to
hell?�

�Only if you�re going first,�
Rin replied keeping her distance. It seemed the only plan would have to be dodging
for cover and hope to lose her.

�I don�t know what he sees in
you,� Kagura snapped opening her fan violently. �But then I guess a whore like
you�� Her sentence trailed as round stone ornament from a piece of furniture
came hurtling towards her. She angrily side stepped when another came and hit
her on the shoulder.

�You want to talk. I want to
fight,� Rin growled. She was defenseless, virtually, not deaf and she was not
going to stand there and be insulted.

Kagura raised her fan to
strike when she engulfed by flames and knocked to the ground. �You are
trespassing in my lands,� Kenji snarled showing his fans. He was crouched over
her glaring at her intensely. �You will not hurt this woman. She is under the
protection of Sesshomaru and I. Today, I will spare your life out of a debt
that I owed your father which we are no even. Now get out of my sight.�

Kagura narrowed her eyes.
That was twice the human escaped her and it would be the last time. She crawled
out from under Kenji and slunked away in defeat before riding out on a breeze with
her feather.

Rin blinked in shock as she
watched the demon in front of he go from predatory to protector. �Are you
okay?� he asked once he was by her side. He walked around her checking for
injuries.

�I�m fine,� she answered
looking into teal eyes. There was concern�honest concern. She was confused.
�You saved me?�

�Of course,� he replied still
checking her until he was satisfied. He suddenly pulled her into his embrace. �You
know hitting her with a rock was not the smartest thing to do in your
situation, but it was humorous.�

Rin did not say anything. It
was weird being comforted and by a demon. She was even more confused. For the
first time in years she was caught unaware and weak then a demon saves her and
holds her as though she was something precious. It went against everything she
knew and was taught. She pulled away. �Now don�t fall in love.�

Kenji chuckled. �Ah, so you
do have a sense of humor.�

9-9-9

�The woman is infernal,� Sesshomaru
growled as he paced. �She is constantly defying me and Kenji encourages her.�

Kaede raised an eyebrow. �Oh
and how does her do that?�

Sesshomaru glared at Kaede.
She knew perfectly well what kind of mischief the Kitsune Lord of the East was
up to. �Are you being facetious?�

Kaede shook her head. �I was
just curious. Usually when Kenji is involved it is up a practical joke nature
or a sexual nature and everything that you have told me about this woman had
lead to me to believe you fancy her and do not know how to deal with it.�

A silver eyebrow arched at
the miko�s audacity. �Woman, have you lost your mind?�

The old miko stood to her
feet. �I have known you for quite some time and you have never doubted my
advice before when you disagreed. The fact that you vehemently deny your
feelings at this time, let�s me know that this is more than just a fancy��

�The subject is closed,� He
interrupted.

�Mmhmm.� Kaede smiled. She
would not argue with him today. His pride had been bruised enough at it was. He
was just going to have to get over it. Kaede had grown quite fond of the
emotionally challenged demon and it was high time someone ruffled his fur. The
fact that he even tolerated this Rin to the point of annoyance spoke volumes in
itself. Then of course it was also amusing to see Sesshomaru riled up over a
female. �By the gods, the fox is rubbing
off on me as well,� she mused as she fingered her rosary. A hint of sadness
passed over features, before she pushed it into the back of her mind. �The
subject is closed.�

Sesshomaru looked at Kaede
suspiciously but said nothing as he turned to leave. He had enough to think
about it was. The insinuations that she put forth to him made sense to the
logical part of his mind, but the other part refused to entertain such an idea.
A human, a frail human female bothering him, the very thought was laughable. It
was not for the fact that he never laughed aloud he would have when Kaede
suggested it. In love with Rin�.preposterous. Rin was his manager nothing more
than that, who she spent her time with was none of his business as long as it
did not interfere with work. Kenji had a habit of being distracting; he
distracted Inu Yasha on a daily basis with his shenanigans. He expected one
hundred percent from his people and that�s all there was to it. Feeling
confident Sesshomaru got into his car and turned the key in the ignition. �I will speak to Rin tomorrow.�

To be continued�
