InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Exhilarating ❯ Screaming, Meeting, Arguing ( Chapter 1 )

[intro] *sigh* Yes… after so long, I'll finally be writing something I might enjoy sharing with others. ^^; This is a ficcie inspired by… by… well, all I know is, me and my buddy Marchan(as she will be called) were talking about random anime pairings, when one of us suggested a Rin and Inuyasha one(I believe it was her). Something immediately clicked inside my demented little mind, and poof! here we are, typing this. o_o;; Thank you for reading through this extremely boring beginning, and please review and tell me how to make this better(because I really want to make this fanfic work, for once!). Domo, and sayonara for now! [/intro]

Exhilarating

-by YugiLuv and Marchan

"Oh, Sesshoumaru-sama, do you love me? Or do you love me not?" She sighed, picking the velvety petals off a daisy. "Loves me… loves me not…"

Young Rin had been traveling with Lord Sesshoumaru and Jaken for many years now, the latter two looking as they had when she first met them, and the former was now a beautiful young lady. Though she looked much older, Rin's personality didn't have much of a chance to change, as she didn't see much of other humans. And so, while she looked fifteen years older, she acted as young as she always had. The innocent, sweet girl Rin, whom Sesshoumaru saved when she was but a small child. A former mute, she was now as talkative as any, and yet… her feelings for her lord were kept hidden inside.

Rin had loved him for a long time now, not really noticing until about seven years before. All the girl had ever wanted was for her master to be happy, for him to smile like she'd always wished to see him do. Sure, Rin had caught some glimpses of a smirk on Sessoumaru's face, but it was rare, and usually only when he had something go his way. Other than that, all the girl had ever seen was his usual, stoic expression. But she loved her Master Sesshoumaru anyway, smile or none.

She had gone off to pick flowers, as she normally did, planning on fixing up Jaken's image a bit for a change. Even if she couldn't have her lord's smile, she could still brighten up their atmosphere. Rin giggled, sounding child-like as ever, just thinking of how the little demon would look, flowers draped on him.

"Just like a bride," she whispered, face suddenly turning red as a mental image of herself marrying Sesshoumaru appeared. Hands flying up to her face to cover the blush, Rin tried to shake the picture from her mind. "Oh, don't think that!" the girl warned herself, scolding for such thoughts. "It'd never happen, anyhow… why get all prancy about it?"

Sighing, Rin looked about the field she was in. It was different from where she usually picked flowers, but only because Sesshoumaru-sama had finally figured a plan to kill his brother so they were on their way to where Inuyasha stayed. At least, this was near where Jaken said he lived. They were still a ways away, not too far, not too close, so Sesshoumaru's charge was allowed to frolic in a flower field for the moment. Rin didn't mind the difference, as there were very pretty flowers here. She picked another, smiling, as the breeze fluttered the soft petals brushing against her hand. Rin had noticed a well made of wood when she came to the field, which had made her shiver upon passing it, but tried to pay no mind to it anyway. It was just a well, after all.

The same gust that had pushed the flowers by came again, stronger now, picking up Rin's raven-colored hair along with it. She shut her eyes, strands flying against her face. When the flurry of wind had left, she opened them again, looking up at the sky. Rin was very pretty now, her eyes holding that same slight slant that made them adorable when she was younger. She still put her hair up in that same side-ponytail, occasionally letting it all loose. This was one of those days.

Inuyasha huffed, angry that Kagome had not come back yet. Sure, they had collected all the jewels years ago, but she still came by to visit. She didn't want to stay in the past, and Inuyasha… well, he still held memories for Kikyou. The hanyou was sitting on the front porch of Kaede (*sigh*… yes she's still alive, why not?), dog ears twitching as the breeze swept through his silvery hair. He looked in the general direction of the well that allowed Kagome to time-travel. Well… it wouldn't hurt if he just went to her time to go check up on her, right? It had only been two days but a lot can happen in such a short amount of time. What was he thinking; two days were a long time! A tree might've fallen on her; she could've already come back and gotten eaten by a demon or worse… Kouga might've stolen her away.

"Damn that wolf! He won't get away with this!!!" Inuyasha defiantly stood, clenching his fanged teeth, a fist raised high. "Kagome…!" With that, the half-demon took off, thoughts of the ookami's demise racing just as quickly through his head.

-

Jaken had warned her that he and Sesshoumaru had sensed another demon besides the master's half-brother in the vicinity. Rin didn't think much of it, but perhaps that well and her chills had something to do with it.

"No way… demons don't live in wells!" she assured herself, suddenly getting scared from the idea of a demon that could hurt her being nearby. "A-and, even if one did… it would have to be a pretty wimpy demon to be living in a well, right? Right! Unless it was a well-oni… do those exist? Waaaiiii, what if it had big, scary, gnashing teeth and huge eyes and claws and… and…!!!" She screamed, convinced that there really was a demon attacking her, the pitch of her cry as shrill as it would be if she was actually being attacked.

As suddenly as she screamed, just a few meters away by then, Inuyasha's amber eyes widened, also convinced, not that there was a demon, but that Kagome was actually being taken away by Kouga. "Kagome, wait until I get there!" The thing was… he couldn't find her scent at all. "Damn your ookami tricks!!!" (Inuyasha thinks Kouga is somehow masking Kagome's scent from reaching him… which would be what foxes might do, if it were possible for them to. O.o; I'm getting off-topic again…)

Rin was flailing her arms, staggering backwards until she fell into the flowers, the picture of that 'well-demon' in her mind being too vivid. It wasn't until she opened her eyes that she realized it was all her imagination. She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but was taken up by some other figure, inducing the screaming all over again.

The girl cried for help, anything to save her, as this other 'demon' carried her away into the nearest tree, yelling out a curse against all wolves. He looked down at the girl he had 'saved,' expecting her to stop anytime now. Her now-long hair was draped over her face, arms beating at Inuyasha to let her go.

"Ka… Kagome? You can stop screaming now."

"Uhuh?" Rin looked up, on hand brushing away the long strands that hid her face. "I'm not Kago-!!!" She gasped, finally getting to see the demon's face, the image still a bit fuzzy from the headrush she just had. "Ma-master Sesshoumaru!!!" Rin's arms locked around Inuyasha's neck, the hanyou gaping at this girl he had presumed was Kagome.

"You're not Kagome! Let me go!! And I'm not that bastard, Sesshoumaru!!!" He pried her off of himself, staring at her up and down. "Just who are you, anyway?!"

"Wh-what?" Rin stared back, her eyes finally focusing clearly for the first time since she was picked up by Inuyasha. "You're NOT Sesshoumaru-sama!"

"That's what I just said! Now who are you, how do you know my brother, and where's that whimpering wolf, Kouga?!"

He was answered with a slap across his face, a red hand-shaped mark appearing where Rin had hit him. "You're so rude! How dare you call my master a… a… Bass-something! He is not a fish! He is the great, dog demon, Lor-"

Inuyasha turned his head back to its original position, face still stinging. "Why… did you SLAP me…? And why do you care what I call that demonic loser anyway? Because, whatever I call him is true, you know that, right? Especially if you seem to be so buddy-buddy with him and all-"

This again, rewarded the half-demon with a slap, this time across the other cheek. "I said, don't call him names!"

"Well, don't give him names he doesn't deserve! 'Great dog demon lord,' my ASS!"

The two continued with their bantering, high up in the tree, oblivious to all else, save for their own voices and beliefs on Sesshoumaru.

"Inuyasha…? What are you doing up there? And WHO is THAT?!"

Rin and Inuyasha looked down, argument 'cut short' by this other voice. Inuyasha's expression filled with surprise as he saw who it was.

"Kagome?!"

[author's notes] Hmmm… not bad for something I wrote in just two hours, I guess… -.-0 Hey, now, it took a LOT of thought to figure out those detailed words. Please mind, YugiLuv here IS a moron, after all. Marchan is the real brains behinds this. *sniff sob* Review… I live for your comments. Don't be harsh, now! Well… I guess I wouldn't mind bitter words. o_o;; I can use it to soften that ultra-sweet lemonade Nechan is so fond of making… nothing but the whole can of 'Country Fresh Lemonade,' a huge thing o' sugar, and about… oh, two tiny drops of water. X_x;; It really tastes like that…. REVIEW!!!! *begs on hands and knees* If you don't, I won't be able to update because I'll be convinced no one likes Marchan and mine's story! [/a.n.]
