Chapter Seven


Rin had said goodbye to Kohaku and the two other visitors earlier that morning, they’d be gone for a day or two inspecting some suspicious activity in the next over, but he promised that he’d be back for her. The day had passed by her so quickly that it let her wondering where it went. It was the third week of spring and the flowers and the trees were in full blossom. It truly was a beautiful sight and it only got better each year. The chores were surprisingly done early and her mother sent her out to play with Taromaru while her brother Sei and her father were out in the fields.


Her smile couldn’t have been any wider as she held the one-year-old’s hand and took him out into the warmth of the bright sun. Rin led the small child to the small field of flowers a few yards away from the forest and the two of them picked the wildflowers and she would make little crowns for Taromaru. Even though she was only twelve, Rin thought about what her life would be like once she was married. Would she have the man of her dreams? How would he treat her? How many kids did he want? Did he even want kids? As harmless as those thoughts were, she found herself imagining her life with Kohaku.


Rin was torn from her thoughts as her mother’s voice called for her. Picking up Taromaru and the small flowers, Rin headed back towards her home. She didn’t really want to go, but the sun would be setting soon and she was afraid that something might come after her again and this time she wouldn’t have Kohaku to come to her rescue.


“I’m coming mama!” She called out.


The rest of the day passed by quickly and before she knew it, Rin was already in bed waiting to fall asleep and the moment she thought her eyes had just fallen closed she was being shaken by her older brother Sei. There was no candles lit, but she could plainly see the fear in his eyes. She sat up and groggily yawned before looking at her brother.


“Why’d you wake me up Sei?” She asked tiredly.


“We’ve got to hide Rin,” he said frantically as he pulled her from the futon. “Ma says there’s bandits coming here and pa’s gone to try and keep them away from these parts of our property.”


“Where’s mama and Taromaru?” Rin asked, the fear in her voice was evident.


“They are waiting for us near the fields,” Sei told her.


He grabbed her hand and together they left the room. The darkness surrounded them and the moment the two of them stepped outside they were greeted by death. Their mother lay sprawled out on the ground, her hair covering her face and a pool of blood surrounding her form. Rin’s eyes were wide with fear and she clung to Sei who was no better off than herself.


“Well look what I found here,” a voice suddenly laughed behind them.

A pair of rough hands seized Rin and tore her from Sei and all she could do was kick and scream. The bandits had come out of nowhere and the more Rin tried to fight back, the more inevitable it seemed. She didn’t know what was going to happen to her brother, but it would leave her kind of calloused for the rest of her life.


“We’ll kill the boy and take the girl,” one man said. “Since we don’t really need anymore males when we can have a perfectly good female to join out little band.”


Rin’s eyes were practically bugging out of their sockets with terror as she watched the men unsheathe their swords. They were going to kill her brother. Rin screamed for Sei to runaway, but he merely frowned and took a stance. He wasn’t going to take the cowards way out and Rin knew it.


“Please Sei!” She screamed fighting against the bandit’s hold, “Run! I’ll be okay, but you’ve just got to run!”


“NO!” He yelled back, “I won’t let them take you and get away with the murder of our family! Stop telling me to go against my heart! I will have revenge!”


It was then that Sei decided to attack, he leapt at the closest man and knocked the bandit unconscious before taking the unused katana from his hands. The tears streamed down her face, she knew deep down in her heart that Sei would not win this battle. One of the bandits that were shrouded in darkness came out from behind Sei and Rin watched frozen in horror as the blade of the katana was driven into Sei’s back. She could plainly see the surprise in her brother’s eyes as the katana he held dropped lifelessly to the ground and all she could do was scream. The blood spewed from his mouth and the bandit easily pushed Sei off the blade where he crumbled brokenly to the ground.


Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest as she woke up, a cry of anguish escaping her lips. Rin was covered in a cold sweat, her hair matted to her face and the feel of soft silk blankets entangled her legs. It was pitch black all around her and her breathing was rapid. Kicking off the blankets from the lower half of her body, Rin jumped off the enormous bed and hit the cold wood underneath her. Her head hurt and she felt a little faint as she tried to find her way to a window.


Light seeped into the room as Rin opened the heavy curtains. It was dark outside, and the moon sent a soothing light through the unopened balcony doors. She didn’t have a clue to where she was, but the garden from the view was extravagant. Opening the balcony doors, Rin stepped out into the cold air as gooseflesh covered her body, it was a little chilly, but the air was fresh and it was what she needed. Closing her eyes, Rin inhaled deeply before sighing, the atmosphere here was absolutely perfect.


“It’s quite cold out there,” his voice came out of nowhere and made her jump. “This Sesshomaru thinks you should go back to bed.”


Rin turned around to see Sesshomaru in the balcony doorway, she hadn’t heard him come in, but she didn’t mind his presence too much. She smiled sheepishly at him, but kept her eyes on her feet. She didn’t want to look at his eyes.


“I had a bad dream and I had to get some fresh air,” she said quietly. “And it was really dark. I couldn’t see anything.”


Sesshomaru turned and disappeared into the darkness of the room and Rin was curious to what he was going to do. She was surprised when light suddenly flooded the room and she could see everything that occupied the room. Sesshomaru seemed satisfied with himself and went to retreat from the room and Rin began to feel empty again.


“Sesshomaru wait!” She was in a way pleading for him to stop, but she expected him to ignore her and leave, but he stopped at the door and looked emotionlessly at her, his amber eyes piercing through her and for a moment she forgot who she was.


Rin quickly ran to where the cold Inu-youkai stood and wrapped her arms around his waist. She felt as though she was going to cry as she rested her head on his chest. He was tense at first, but after a few minutes, she could feel his body relax against hers as well as hear the steady and rhythmic beating of his heart.


“Thank you,” Rin told Sesshomaru.


It was the only words that she could think of to say as she held him tighter. There was something in her stomach that screamed for her to stop, but she didn’t have the strength left to move. She felt relaxed against him, like she was meant to be there, yet not meant to be at the same time. She was confused about a lot of the feelings that swarmed her mind, but there would be other times more appropriate to think about them.


Sesshomaru grew irritated by Rin’s actions, but didn’t say a word. He felt almost comfortable with her holding onto him, it felt almost natural. The minutes dragged on and Rin just stayed the same, she didn’t move from her spot. Her eyes were closed and he could plainly smell the scent of the soap she used in her hair. He wanted to hold her in his arms as she was doing to him, but he wouldn’t allow himself to admit that he was beginning to have certain feelings for the young girl. To him it couldn’t be possible for him to enjoy the fancy of a human, it was beneath him, but in a way he longed for it.


He quickly grew tired of standing there and he knew that Rin wasn’t going to let go anytime soon so he did the first thing that came to his mind; he swept her off her feet and carried Rin to the large bed. Placing her on the bed and bringing the silk blankets over her tired body, he looked down at Rin and saw something in her eyes that he couldn’t describe. What he did next was something he’d never thought he’d do, but the moment his lips brushed against hers there was suddenly a spark of electricity that ran through him as his mouth lay gently against her soft pink lips.


Rin gasped in surprise of Sesshomaru’s boldness, but welcomed it as her fingers slid up his arms. She was almost afraid that somehow she was dreaming, yet afraid that it was real. He kissed her a kind of presence that made the butterflies in her stomach flutter. Sesshomaru’s body leaned against hers as his arms entrapped her underneath him, his hair falling like rain over his shoulders. What she was experiencing was exciting yet it was something else that she couldn’t quite explain.


Sesshomaru pulled away and Rin was able to catch a quick breath before she gripped his haori and captured the Inu-youkai’s lips in a hungry kiss. His chest was flush against hers and she could feel the heart all around her as his clawed hand touched her neck before cupping her cheek and tilting her head so he could have better access to her mouth. His tongue swept lazily over her mouth and as she parted her lips, his tongue dove into her mouth like how a cat pounces on a mouse. Her moan was soft as Sesshomaru left hot open mouthed kisses down her jaw line and throat, but his ministrations immediately stopped and Rin could feel her heart skip a beat.


Their heated moment stopped there as Sesshomaru got to his feet quickly as if he was burned and avoided Rin’s eyes. She was confused by his actions, but said nothing as he walked away, leaving the room at a fast pace. She laid there silently for a moment, her eyes shut tightly trying to hold back her tears, but they slipped down her cheeks. Had she done something wrong to displease him? Was her Sesshomaru disgusted with her because she didn’t do the right thing? These kinds of thoughts and many others plagued her mind as she rolled over onto her side, burying her head into the soft pillows and crying herself to sleep. Rin was ashamed of her behavior and for trying to “take advantage” of Sesshomaru.
