Chapter Three
Rin sat on her bed with a bored expression on her face. Morning had come and gone a while ago and her duty as InuYasha’s babysitter had begun. She had awaken on her floor, her muscles stiff and her head aching, but nobody either seemed to notice or didn’t care. They were all preoccupied with the visiting lord to be concerned for anything else than trivial. The fifteen year old barely had enough time to get dressed before an excited InuYasha came bursting into her room wanting to go on another adventure.
To say that he was a little upset about the change of plans was an understatement. InuYasha glared at her angrily and started in on a tantrum that almost always got him what he wanted unless it was his mother or father. After a while of huffing and kicking at things in her room, InuYasha found his attempts to be in vain and settled for crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at Rin. It wasn’t like she wasn’t used to the dirty looks that other people gave her in the castle, but from him it made her uneasy. One a few occasions Rin wanted to give in and let the young prince do whatever he wished, but she remembered what the queen said and that made Rin rethink her possible actions.
The two of them eventually were reduced to laying around doing nothing for who knows how long. In a way Rin felt like she was being punished for doing something and she thought if she stayed in her room all days she would go nuts. It looked like her partner in crime InuYasha was having the same thoughts as hers, but she would be sure to keep him in the room. Rin knew that there would be severe consequences if InuYasha was allowed to run about the castle like a lunatic under her observation and she didn’t even want to begin thinking about what would happen to her if she didn’t follow the queen’s strict orders. Sighing heavily, Rin drew imaginary circles on her blankets, yep by the end of the “Lord’s” visit she would have gone made and done harm to herself. It was just that boring.
The muffled sounds of trumpets playing brought Rin out of her thoughts and she quickly sat up. InuYasha was already at the closed balcony windows, his claws against the glass as he tried to see what was happening. Rin slid off her bed to join the hanyou, her heart beating faster in her chest. The way the younger boy was standing it was most likely positive to say that he hadn’t been informed of a demon lord’s arrival.
“Who is the lord?” InuYasha’s eyes were suddenly on Rin and she felt her heart skip a beat.
“I don’t know!” She took a step back, he was really beginning to frighten her.
“LIAR!” His ears were twitching almost violently and Rin stumbled backwards, toppling to the floor, her eyes never once leaving his angry amber orbs. “Tell me who it is now!”
Rin was trembling, her eyes wide with fear, but she couldn’t tell him, not when there was a possibility that both of them could get hurt. She wouldn’t tell him who it was even if he hit her, she just couldn’t defy the people who gave her a place to stay when her parents left her with them. Stay loyal to one and lose the respect and friendship of the other, it was a lose, lose situation and Rin had no way around it. She wished that the floor underneath her would open up and swallow her whole, she didn’t want to be there.
“Fine!” InuYasha growled, “I’ll go find out who it is myself!”
“InuYasha wait!” The hanyou fled the room and Rin scrambled to her feet.
Somehow she had to keep him away from the greeting ceremony and with how fast Inuyasha was, she didn’t know how she could. Sure she had been his caretaker for years and she could run pretty fast for a human girl, but she still wasn’t comparable to InuYasha’s speed. Her mind was running faster than her feet as she slid around corners, her hands holding up the end of her dress as she ran. She knew that there was no way that she could beat him there, but she couldn’t give up without at least trying. Mentally she cursed herself, if she had locked her door it would have made it harder for InuYasha to get out of the room without the key.
Rin had lost track of InuYasha’s silver hair, but she knew that she was still close on his tail. It would take more than just playing chase to get Rin lost completely, especially since she knew the castle better than the back of her own hand. Calling out for the hanyou to stop was left on deaf ears and nobody was around that would help her catch the eleven year old half demon. It was frustrating to know end and practically running down the stairs, she could hear the slamming of doors, InuYasha had found his way outside.
She was far enough away to be unnoticed, but close enough to see outside as Inuyasha stopped right in front of the newly arrived Lord Ryouji from the Northern Lands. The hanyou was spitting mad as he bared his claws, his fangs accentuated by tight lips, the boy was furious. On lookers gasped in horror and Rin barely made it as the powerful demon drew his sword. She tried to get in between the demon and hanyou, but lavender eyes only narrowed and pain soared throughout her head. Ryouji’s sword hilt connected with her head and Rin was sent sprawling onto the hard ground a few away.
Her vision danced and Rin saw as the sky drew darker and a flash of lightening surrounded the hanyou along with the anguished scream of InuYasha. She had failed to protect the prince and now a war could possibly break out, it was all her fault. Struggling to get to her feet, Rin collapsed to the ground listening to hushed whispers and angry yelling. The pain in her head escalated and she felt like she was dying as everything went black, boy life really sucked for her.
Everything become chaotic when InuYasha showed up at the greeting ceremony, he had startled many people. It didn’t take long for the Western lands guards to apprehend Lord Ryouji and detain him for questioning and probably a trial. InuTashio had been beyond furious and Izayoui cried by her son’s side as he lay in his bed unconscious. The hanyou picked the wrong time to show up and his consequences were great. Once beautiful silver hair was as black as night and amber eyes were violet, the hanyou boy was now human and the only person who knew how to reverse it wasn’t talking.
There was rumor of war, but InuTahio made sure that the rumor was squashed indefinitely, he wanted to untie the North and West, not push them farther apart. Nerves were high and the entire castle was jumpy and suspicious, nobody would be able to rest if they didn’t calm down. Of course it was more than certain that they would, Queen Izayoui always knew how to calm them down. She was a very convincing woman, a leader of people all on her own. That’s why everyone in the castle loved the queen, she knew how to keep the peace, and she was one of the reasons that the Western Lands ran so smoothly.
Night had fallen and torches were lit to light up the castle and keep it bright. There would no longer be a big banquet, but it wasn’t going to go to waste either. The coldness creeping around her stirred Rin from unconsciousness and Rin felt the dampness on her face. She didn’t have the faintest clue to where she was and she groaned. She wasn’t in her room that was for sure. Trying to sit up, Rin found herself unable to, her muscles protested and dizziness swarmed throughout her head. She was defenseless and couldn’t move, but she couldn’t remember why or where she was.
Tears pricked at the backs of her eyes and she fought to keep them away. Crying like a child wasn’t going to help her so what was the point? Rin took a ragged breath as she tried to calm her nerves, she had to think and remember how she got in her current state. All she could recall was chasing InuYasha outside and everything after that was nothing but black and empty.
Muffled music floated to her ears along with a heated argument heading her way. The voices were familiar but she couldn’t place them at the moment. Closing her eyes, Rin prayed that they would just pass her by, she didn’t want anyone to see her in her state. She didn’t want whoever it was to know that she was weak and vulnerable. The voices grew in volume and Rin could tell that it was a male and female and that they were obviously arguing over something important.
“I don’t care what they say Sesshomaru,” it was Kagura, Rin could tell and the wind sorceress sounded peeved. “I told Ryouji explicitly to behave and not embarrass the Northern Kingdom. So don’t you dare try to blame your half-breed brother’s lapse of judgment on me!”
“Kagura,” his monotone voice seemed irritated and she wished she was still unconscious. “My father and Izayoui have taken responsibility for InuYasha’s behavior. You are the one making this more difficult than it has to be. Take responsibility for your kingdom’s mishaps so we can begin a trial for Lord Ryouji’s punishment.”
“NO!” The wind sorceress hissed. “He should be sent back to my lord’s territory to be dealt with as we see fit. He is a resident of the North and that’s where he should face punishment!”
Rin didn’t want to be an eavesdropper on this conversation, not when she could be severely punished for it. Things were really planning on getting better for her were they? She wanted to crawl away but that was out of the question. Hell how could she try to move when she couldn’t even see straight? Worrying on her lower lip, she swallowed the urge to whimper, her lucky really sucked. Trying her best to stay quiet, Rin thought about how much trouble she was bound to be in.
“This topic is nonnegotiable Kagura,” Sesshomaru’s cold voice floated into Rin’s ear and she wanted to sigh. “Besides we are not alone anymore so this conversation is over.”
Her heart skipped a beat as the footsteps neared her, Rin didn’t know what she was going to do. Sesshomaru would find her and he would be upset. Biting down on her lip harder, she drew blood, her life was practically over non. Confrontation was unavoidable. She counted down the seconds till the footsteps stopped, he was watching her and she didn’t know whether it was in disgust or something a kind to loathing.
“Rin?” She couldn’t respond to him and the tears she had once fought to keep back escaped from her closed eyes.
Claws touched her and she winced, she hurt all over and she didn’t know why, she couldn’t remember. His hands left her for a minute before reappearing and pulling her up. She cried out as something ripped from the side of her head and followed a moment later by a warm liquid running down her face. Sesshomaru hushed her as he held her to his chest and she risked opening her eyes.
Her head was pounding and glancing up at the Inu-Youkai prince, she thought she saw something flicker in his eyes before vanishing as fast as it appeared. Black spots filled her vision as her head lolled to the other side, her eyes going to where she had lain. There was blood everywhere and it made her head swell, so much blood and she knew that it was hers. Feeling Kagura’s eyes burning holes into her as Sesshomaru walked away, Rin remembered the look that InuYasha had given her when she didn’t tell him who the arriving lord was. It all clicked in her mind then, why she was hurting, and how she ended up outside. Something had happened to Inuyasha and it was all her fault!
“S-Sesshomaru,” she had to squint in the light as the Inu-Youkai prince walked calmly down to the infirmary. “InuYasha - is he?”
“Hush up Rin,” there was no room for word in edge wise the way his tone demanded her to be quiet. “You’re bleeding and I need to get you to the infirmary before you lose anymore blood. I don’t know why you were left out there for so long but don’t worry. InuYasha will be fine once this mess is fixed.”
Rin barely nodded and dozed back off into unconsciousness. Sesshomaru was livid, how could an entire castle forget about a human a girl bleeding in the grass for over twelve hours? There was something suspicious about the day’s events and he would be sure to get to the bottom of everything. Kagura would have to be dealt with later and before the next day’s end, the wind sorceress would know her place and to stay there.
Heading to his bed chambers, Sesshomaru glanced down at the girl in his arms. There was no doubt that everyone in the castle was partying and making merry so the infirmary would most likely be empty. He wasn’t worried about what would be said because he would gladly kill the first person who opened their mouth to spout a rumor. Rin needed to be cleaned up and bandaged and there were only two people not drunk in the entire castle or that weren’t sleeping and Kagura was more keen on strangling humans than helping them. So obviously the wind witch was out and the only one left was him, however, he didn’t mind. The only safety that the unconscious girl had left seemed to be with him and he would be sure to protect her.
E/N: Awww look at Sesshomaru, he's a little OOC! LOL meh, it worked. I really liked this chapter becaus it starts to show a little bit a romance between Rin and Sesshomaru and the tension that will lead to the ultimate betrayal. Maybe not ultimate, but pretty important for these cute characters. Please leave reivews people! I'm going to be getting a job here soon so my writting time will be very limited. Sorry folks, but please gimme feed back... I need it to live, it's like blood for my soul!
