Chapter Two
Laughter rang out through the abandoned hallways as the maids searched almost desperately for the missing children. The king would be irritated if his son was left unattended for too long. A flash of silver and black caught the women off guard but the childish laughter and giggling only faded. He was already heading towards the exit and the only people who could catch him or dared to either didn’t care, were too busy, or couldn’t be found. The servants swore that the young prince’s mother was just as bad as he was.
Speaking of the lady of the Western Lands, she currently could be found sitting quietly on a bench near the beautiful rose garden and small pond. If anyone needed her, that’s where they would always be able to find her, it was her personal sanctuary. Gentle and caring eyes that caught everyone’s attention, her smile was able to rind in almost anyone. There was no doubt why the king had chosen her to be his second wife.
Sounds of metal clashing and more hush-hush laughter brought the maids running quickly, the two children were horrible together, they never seemed to stay out of trouble. When they came to the scene, their mouths dropped and they scurried to the young prince and his care taker. Metal was scattered all over the floor and the young prince sat on his knees, his silver hair laying over his face as a shield. His caretaker, a fifteen year old girl lay on her back, hair sprawled out all around her. Her eyes were closed and blood dripped from her nose, one of the maids couldn’t hold back her scream and fainted almost immediately.
“What’s going on here?” The women looked up to see an elegant youkai dressed in a beautiful red and blue kimono, her eyes blood red and glaring angrily at them from behind an extravagantly decorated fan.
Her name was Kagura and she was a high official from the Northern Kingdom, not to mention the one who had been able to grab the attention of the future king, Prince Sesshomaru. Rin’s eyes shot open hearing the voice and she quickly scrambled off the ground. The teenager remembered what happened last time she was caught goofing off by the wind youkai and it hadn’t been pretty. Her nerves jumped as Kagura glared daggers, red eyes narrowing to slits and a tongue clicking against teeth. Wiping the blood from her face, Rin whispered a silent apology before taking InuYasha’s hand and fleeing the scene.
No words were spoken between the two of them as she practically dragged InuYasha from the castle, she no longer felt in the mood to play around. Kagura was a scary person for her and she didn’t know why but she understood that her instincts told her not to get into the wind youkai’s way unless she wished for death on the spot. It hadn’t always that way Rin wasn’t the type to scurry away with her tail in between her legs, but then again since that one day a few years before when Kagura first showed up, Rin had learned her place.
Rin had been thirteen and she would wait for her normal ‘buddy’ Sesshomaru to come to his library where they would talk about anything that came to mind. They had been doing it since the night he sat with her in the snow, it had become a delightful routine. Then all of a sudden it was different, Kagura had come to the castle to stay and when she stumbled upon Rin waiting for Sesshomaru to join her, it wasn’t pretty. The wind youkai stuck then, pinning the small child to the wall, her fan drawn out and her eyes glowing evilly. She warned the human that if she didn’t cease and desist there would be one less human girl and a lot of body parts found around the Western Lands castle. Thus the reason why she stayed far away as possible from both Sesshomaru and the wind youkai.
Going out towards the garden, Rin let a heavy sigh leave her chest. She was mad at herself for being weak, but then again she couldn’t help it, sometimes it was the weak that survived. A clawed hand pulled on the sleeve of her dress and glancing down at the hanyou, she was met with a frown. His amber eyes were cold and she felt her cheeks heat in a guilty blush, he looked a lot like his older brother.
“Why did you run away like that?” She could feel his anger and the lump in her throat grew larger by half.
“Sometimes the only thing we can do is run,” Rin had been about to answer when a velvety masculine voice interrupted her. “We must pick our battles wisely my son, because there’s never a certain victory and by running we can have more time to better the strategy we’ve planned. However, if we run too much, cowardice is the only reason.”
InuYasha and Sesshomaru looked like the Inu-Youkai who stood there, but he had the look of true maturity and rule, he had the look of experience and knowing of what made him one of the most love and feared Kings. Rin nodded her head in agreement and plastered a fake smile on her face, she knew that it wasn’t the real reason why she ran, but grateful he would cover for her without knowing. There were other things important besides who did what and after giving InuYasha’s father a hug, she headed towards the gardens, it was about time for the said hanyou’s lessons and she didn’t need to attend.
In the gardens there were flowers of all different kinds, but none compared to the roses that Izayoui planted herself. They were the ones that sparkled with life and filled with energy and love, and the ones that drew Rin to them when her mood wasn’t as bright as normal. The small section was a little safe haven that she went to tell her problems and the roses would take away all the sadness and the emptiness. It gave her something to hold onto when nothing seemed certain.
Sitting down in the grass, Rin let a small smile purse her lips, her heart wasn’t feeling as heavy as it had been and she felt her muscles relax. It was almost like she was listening to Sesshomaru read a line or two out of a book, but then again, nothing compared to his voice. It just wasn’t good enough, he was untouchable, unattainable.
Lost in her thoughts, Rin gingerly touched the blades of grass around her. She really missed how the old days were and constantly found herself day-dreaming, remembering the conversations that she and Sesshomaru used to have. Things slowly began to change and Rin didn’t like the direction in which it was going. Sure it sounded more than childish, but sometimes she really got the urge to throw herself to the floor and start kicking and screaming till she was blue in the face and given what she wanted most.
“If you frown like that for too long your face will most likely stay that way.” The voice was as soft as a breeze and it startled her.
Looking over her shoulder Rin gasped loudly, a guilty blush rising to her cheeks fro being found. A beautiful silk kimono shinned in the sunlight and many multi-colored under kimonos that showed brought stars to her eyes. Skin as pale as milk seemed to glow and long ebony hair flowed over elegant shoulders as if each strand was a drop of water in a waterfall. Queen Izayoui was a sight to be seen.
“Oh,” she was lost for words scrambling to her feet. “I-Lady Izayoui, I’m so-so sorry, I-”
“Come sit next to me Rin,” Izayoui patted the bench seat next to her with a kind smile and Rin nodded. She couldn’t say no even if she wanted to.
Sitting next to the queen, Rin lowered her eyes to her hands and let out a deep breath. She felt like she had done something wrong and would be punished like a spoiled child. Her heart was pounding rapidly in her chest and she flinched against the hint of a touch from the queen’s hands against her hair.
“You shouldn’t let yourself get so stressed and worried over such little things,” the queen said brushing Rin’s hair from her face. “We all do things in our lives that are un lady like, but those minor mistakes will not be the ugly mishaps that condemn us. Rin try and remember that you are still a young girl and you will still make mistakes. However, you have to deal with them as a lady should, with her head held up high and with conviction. If you don’t our enemies will find the weakness in our hearts and they will exploit it to their advantage.”
“What are you talking about my lady?” Rin tried to feign ignorance, but glancing at the queen’s raised eyebrow, she mentally cursed herself.
“My husband has kept me informed about everything that I cannot see and it worries me. Your loss of life over the last few years.” Izayoui took Rin’s hand into her own and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “People have eyes dear, and even though you thought it to be a secret, Sesshomaru’s father and I have always known about your meetings in his library. Although I must say that you two would look cute together, this marriage of his to Kagura, it is something we in the Western Lands welcome with open arms.”
The queen’s words were like daggers into her heart and Rin could practically feel the cold metal like words tear into her flesh. She knew that Izayoui’s words were true, it had always been said that Sesshomaru and Kagura’s marriage would unite the Northern and Western Kingdoms together, but she didn’t want to believe it. And as she sat there by the flowers wallowing in her own self-pity, the days passed by and with each day the wedding grew closer.
“There is a lord coming in the morning,” the queen said as a matter of factly. “And as my son’s caretaker I humbly ask for you to keep a strict eye on him tomorrow. The lord isn’t too fond of mixed bloods and in the past is known to have arranged a slaughter of hundreds of hanyou and youkai a like. So please for both of your safety, stay inside his or your rooms.”
Rin nodded sheepishly as she rose from her seat, giving the queen a polite bow before leaving. She couldn’t take much more of this emotional drama, her lungs her as well as her heart and her head felt like someone hat hit her with something hard. It hadn’t helped that her and InuYasha’s “ditch the maids” game turned a little rough, thus the slight bump on the back of her head, but alls well that ends well right? She walked silently down the halls, biting the insides of her cheeks to keep her feelings at bay, she wanted to scream, she wanted to cry. She wanted to get away and be free from the torment that she was currently feeling. Everyone she knew was telling her to betray her heart and follow the rules, but she didn’t know how much longer she could do it, her resolve was breaking.
Reaching her bedroom with time to spare, Rin was barely able to close the door as a anguished sob wrenched itself free from her throat. She made sure to lock the door as she screamed loudly, her pain filling the halls and mirroring how the inside of her was falling apart. Her tears broke free and fell down her face as she slid to the floor, the palm of her hands covering her face as she wept to her heart’s content. She just couldn’t take any more of it, they were killing her with their words, they were killing her.
