Getting to know you
By Miztikal-Dragon
Chapter Twelve:
The ending of spring was taking its toll on everyone in the castle (and outside) and the once blooming flowers were showing signs of wilting. Summer was breathing down her back, teasing her and almost sadly, Rin sighed. Myoga was ordered to stay by her side when she left the castle and he abided by Sesshomaru’s every command. Even at the moment, the elderly flea demon was merely yards away from where she currently sat, not daring to enter the ‘sacred’ area. She had been there for hours already, sitting for hours staring into the clear blue water, staring at her reflection. It was a sight she didn’t want to see, the bags under her eyes, her once creamy skin now pale and sickly.
Rin had been this way for over a year now, and with each passing day she looked closer to death. A whole year had passed since then, an entire year and soon she would be turning seventeen. Tears gathered at the backs of her eyes, stinging her and she fought against the sob in her throat. Nothing ever got better, nothing and Rin didn’t have any strength left to try and fight. So many things had happened, so many and yet despite what she had naively believed, love was unattainable. She was cursed and no one was able to rescue her, none of them made it and it looked like they never would.
No longer did the maids and servants gossip care freely or as loudly as they used to, they were now wary of the things around them. Rin was barely seen by anyone, she had become almost invisible to all which is why she was now under constant supervision by Myoga. She didn’t hear anything said to her, she didn’t say anything herself, the young girl had become the walking dead. On nights when the castle was silent enough, they could hear the gentle sobbing coming from her room, time had repeated itself again, and this time Rin had nothing left to hold onto.
Sesshomaru had become a respected ruler, his cold eyes never faltering, his silver hair still silky and long. He was the epitome of regal beauty. Tenseiga and Toukijin hanging at his side as he gracefully walked, the Inu-Youkai was someone that almost everyone feared. His two blades, one of life, the other a bringer of death; an odd match, but not one to be trifled with.
Rin knew all about the death that Toukijin had brought with it. The evil blade haunted her, it killed her on the inside and Sesshomaru would never let it leave his sight. It was his precious, his only key to a revenge which would surly never come because one couldn’t get revenge on the wind. It was impossible to kill the wind.
Bells chimed with the time and Nazuna’s soft voice called to Rin, it was time to go. Climbing robotically with the help of the cat demon’s hands, Rin was able to get to her feet before led back into the castle walls. Servants scrambled around, their arms filled with objects, Sesshomaru had planned another celebration, another ceremony in which there would be dancers. Magnificent youkai women with beautiful robes, performing for the court and other kingdom’s rulers. It was something that everyone had grown accustomed to, and that most enjoyed; things had gone back to the old days.
Dinner had been served and after only a few scarce bites, Rin was eventually escorted to her room where Nazuna bathed and dressed the human girl for bed. This had been the same routine executed and it was like how it would always be. A young girl trapped inside herself and a caretaker to help her continue living, a pathetic way of living, but a life none the less. Once in her nightgown, Rin was seated on a chair where Nazuna proceeded to brush the damp locks of ebony, a sad look of pity never leaving her face.
“How is she today?” A stoic voice broke through the cat Youkai’s inner thoughts and the comb in her clawed hand paused for a second before resuming its task.
“A little better than before Lord Sesshomaru,” she replied casting a glance off to her side.
Sesshomaru stood in the doorway of the room, his silver hair was pulled back and tied off with a silk thong. He was dressed in his formal ceremonial robes, the yellow sash around his waist held his two blades to his side and he looked dressed for success. Normally Nazuna would be fawning over her beloved King’s appearance, however the way he stood made her rethink her thoughts and finish braiding the human girl’s hair. The cat youkai already knew just who exactly he was there to see and it wasn’t her. He had made it a habit of coming to see Rin as much as his duties permitted and he had always been there before she was put into bed.
“Elaborate,” during the day he dealt with his kingdom, but at night he was concentrated on the human girl’s condition.
“Today in the gardens I heard Rin sigh,” Nazuna was jealous of a pathetic invalid human and she hated it. “And when it was time to go, she responded when I called her name.”
The Inu-Youkai nodded at her words and placing the comb down on the table, Nazuna left the room. She knew that Sesshomaru wanted to be alone with Rin, all the servants knew that their king had a weakness for the girl. It was obvious to see now. Things wee said in secret, their feelings of Sesshomaru’s actions, their opinions voiced, but only in a place where no one important could hear. Sesshomaru was a strong king with an iron first, but he was almost exactly like his father when it came to human women, so similar that it was both scary and infuriating to some.
Sesshomaru walked into the room where Rin sat, her brown eyes were empty and unseeing and he felt a twinge of pain in his chest. It was his fault why she was this way, why she was like a glass doll. His clawed hand petted the top of her head and she never reacted, it was like he had already lost her for good this time. His amber eyes were tired, he was tired in general, but he had to continue being the strong one. If not for himself or anything else, then for her.
Nazuna had closed the door behind her when she left and the Inu-Youkai knew that he and Rin were alone, but it felt like he was all by himself. He was dying on the inside more each day watching Rin get physically worse, he was going insane because he was absolutely powerless. He couldn’t save her, rescue her from herself.
Hearing the trumpets sounding off in the distance, Sesshomaru gathered Rin into his arms and carried her bridal style to her bed and placed her in the middle of it. He drew the blankets under her chin and for a moment guilt and sadness strangled his heart. He wanted to help her get better anyway he could, but he couldn’t command her body or her mind to heal. With as much power as the Inu-Youkai had, he was powerless to help the one he had fallen in love with.
~~oOo~~
The sun was setting slowly in the west and the tall grass was gently being blown by a cool breeze. It was the last few days of spring and the summer heat was slinking in. Laughter rang out in the distance and the quick rustling of grass told her that she had been found. Arms came out of nowhere, grabbing her by the waist and crying out in mock fear, she let herself be wrestled to the ground. Opening her eyes, she couldn’t contain the smile that was on her face.
His blue eyes were always so vibrant, so full of life that if the sun hit them in the right way all she would be able to see was his clear ocean blue orbs. It was haunting and yet the most beautiful thing she had seen in what felt like forever. His body blocked the sun from her, but his smiling face was able to brighten even the darkest days for her. The cuts and gashes on her back had healed and so had all of his injuries and the weeks that they had spent apart was almost like murder.
Although things had looked bad at one point, at the moment the only thing they cared about was each other. Rin laughed as Koji’s fingers brushed against her face, they were soft yet also calloused, and she liked the feel of them against her skin. Her arms were crossed over her stomach lifelessly, his legs trapping hers between his own.
“I found you,” his voice was heavy and his chest was quickly rising and falling, he had been full out chasing her for hours.
“Guess ya did,” there was something in the air that made her heart pound wildly in her chest.
“I’m glad,” Koji smiled, his shaggy hair falling from his shoulders. “that your dog boy let you out to play.”
Frowning, Rin moved her arms and shoved Koji’s chest and the boy sat up with a surprised look on his face. “Koji - Sesshomaru’s not a dog boy, he’s an Inu-Youkai and he’s only looking out for my well being! I me-”
“Rin,” he moved his hands in between the two of them. “I was just kidding, there’s no need to get upset.”
Her arms crossed stubbornly over her chest and she glared angrily at the boy in front of her. There were a few times that she wanted to wring his neck because of all the mean things he said about Sesshomaru. Gently Koji brushed away the ebony hair that had found its way in front of Rin’s eyes and smiled at her. It made her even angrier because she found herself wanting to smile also, that the anger she was struggling to hold onto was slipping through her fingers like water.
Cupping her chin in his palm, Koji smirked as he leaned his head in and pressed his lips against hers in a gentle and chaste kiss. Her anger was suddenly gone and her mind completely empty and all she could do was feel his mouth on hers, the feel of him kissing her so completely. His hand cradled the back of her neck as she parted her lips, inviting his tongue to begin a duel of passion. She softly moaned as his free hand roamed her body, touching the exposed flesh, dipping under her dress and sliding across her naked thigh. Never before had Rin experienced such a sensation, her body felt on fire and she broke from the kiss and her head lolled back, her nails digging into Koji’s shoulders.
His mouth was all over her and Rin could hardly breathe, her body arching into his teasing touches and she thought her heart would burst. The hand that had been on her thigh traveled back up her body and a gasp escaped her throat when it cupped her small breast. She was out of no where aching to be touched, her nipples hardening at his touch, his fingers flicking over the clothed nub. Her entire body arched with an eager need and when she was pressed flush up against him it was like heaven. His lips were on hers in an instant, devouring her, controlling her, and all Rin could do was whimper in pleasure and follow Koji’s actions. Her heart was soaring with an unknown feeling and she welcomed it as it threatened to overwhelmed her.
One moment his mouth was on hers like a rabid dog and the next he pulled away, his forehead resting against Rin’s as the both of them panted heavily for breath. She was slow about opening her eyes and when they finally fluttered open to see Koji’s kiss-bruised lips, a lopsided smile came to her face. She loved him, she really did love him.
“Koji, I-” the air was sucked from her lungs as her eyes caught glowing red and her blood froze, her nails digging into the boy’s flesh.
Her scream was loud and Koji had barely enough time to glance over his shoulder before the attack. The two of them scrambled to their feet away from the demonic being, Koji holding Rin back and shielding her with his body. Her body was trembling as she stared into those blood red eyes; those eyes were pure evil and it had come for them. The air was so heavy that it was hard to breathe, but none of them moved, fear kept her in place, fear and horror that she couldn’t escape.
The demon blacksmith Kaijinbou stood there in the parted tall grass, his body surrounded by a colorful wind, a long beautiful sword grasped tightly in his right hand. The sword was pulsing and immediately Rin knew that the sword was evil and it was the one Kaijinbou had made for Sesshomaru.
“Who are you!” Koji sounded angry and Rin wanted to tell Koji to run away.
“T-Toukijin-” Kaijinbou growled, practically hissing, his fangs peeking out from his mouth in an amused smirk. “Need blood… fresh… human girl-”
Koji turned to Rin and told her to run. The look in his eyes begged her to comply and without any other orders, she fled. She had to get back to the castle, to get help and Koji was right behind her running as fast as he could as Kaijinbou stalked them, his psychotic laughter ringing in their ears. The demon blacksmith was toying with her, she could feel it in her very bones and with the castle in plain view she wanted to cry out for Sesshomaru. Almost there, Rin glanced back and cried out in terror as Kaijinbou leapt at her, Toukijin - the evil sword coming right at her to slice into her body.
However a pull from Koji sent Rin tumbling to the ground and rolling. A cry of pain and a grunt stopped Rin and she flopped roughly onto her back only to see Koji’s ocean blue eyes staring at her filled with sadness and pain. His body pulsed and her vision was stolen away by the blade protruding from his stomach. His left hand reached out to her and his knees buckles, his skin becoming wrinkled as the blade began devouring him. The only thing she could do was watch as Koji was devoured, his tears falling and her own pouring out as she covered her mouth.
Kaijinbou’s red eyes grew bigger and Koji was gone, the demon had come to slay her and she would suffer as pain ripped through her body. Her vision went black and there were hands all over her, shaking her, pulling her, and Rin struggled to break free. Her scream as loud as her fist connected with flesh then with her knee and she scrambled off of what she had been laying on, collapsing onto the cold floor. All she could see was black and climbing to her feet, she darted away on instinct, she had to get away, she had to find Koji. She had to find him!
Her body collided with walls and she could hear someone calling her name, but it wasn’t him, so she kept running. Terror pulsed through her veins and Kaijinbou’s red glowing eyes were everywhere, his maniac laughter ringing in her head, she was trapped. Finding herself moments later at a dead end she glanced around for any means of escape and spying a window she did the first thing that came to mind, she broke the glass, climbed out and jumped.
She had expected to die from the jump, but she didn’t, instead landing on something somewhat padded. Pain registered in her mind, it was her leg, she had landed funny, but she couldn’t stop, he was after her - she could feel his eyes all over her. It still was black all around her and she stumbled, tripping over something and falling into water. She gasped and sputtered for breath, her nightgown dragging her down until her feet touched the bottom and she realized that she could stand.
Someone called out her name and her head jerked in the direction. She was waist deep in the water, her eyes slowly adjusting and she blinked repeatedly. It wasn’t adding up, where was she? Cold shudders sprang throughout her body, the braid from her hair loose and stray strands sticking to her face. Water dripped down her chin and her wet hands rubbed her eyes only to find more wetness streaming down her cheeks, she was crying uncontrollably.
Her name was called again but more urgently and trying her hardest to focus, Rin searched for anything that would help her find the person. Blinking rapidly again causing the tears to fall faster, Rin’s eyes filled with the moonlight and a few feet away from the water’s edge is where she saw amber orbs.
“Sesshomaru,” she called to him in a broken whisper.
He was in ceremonial robes and it was like she was looking at him for the first time since forever. She tried walking to him, but the pain in her leg made her cry out. Her arms lifted to him like a child wishing to be held and she whimpered feeling the water rippling against her freezing body. Looking at him towering over her, she was suddenly enveloped in warmth as he pulled her to his chest, his arms wrapping around her trembling body. Her fingers dug into his robes and she hid her face in his chest and cried. She hadn’t been having a nightmare, Koji was really dead.
E/N: Sorry for the shortness of the last chapter and the long time that it took to update. Work has been horrible and I'm pushing myself really hard in school so I can graduate and be done with highschool. ALSO I'm working on new stories and I'm stuck when it comes to which two I wanna work on first. If you would like to help out, please go to my profile on fanfiction and take a look at the FOUR story summaries that I have up and pick the two that you like best. The two with the most votes will be the stories that I start working on over the summer.
Fanfiction
Chello: Nudges? Me? Surly you jest! lol Wolf-Inu-Yasha38: He is isn't he. It's makes me smile knowing that people think that I do Sesshomaru in character, I'm always struggling to get it right. Don't worry, only I write my stories, no one will ever touch them. Yay I like the picture too! Icygirl2:Thank you, it's good to know that my character personalities are done well. Thank you! Silentxangel: yeah I know the chapter was short, I just couldn't make it longer for the life of me. Hope you liked the angsty fluff in this chapter. Sugar'N'SpiceRin: YAY! Loopypants: NEWBIE! (glomps) YAR! Vimpire-dogdemongirl89: yes. Aireonna: ANOTHER NEWBIE! Thank you so much and right back at yah (HAPPY HOLIDAYS)
Mediaminer
Aozora-Tennyo: Thank you! White Luna: woot a new color to add to my list of fangirlly-ness! lol Your welcome VERY MUCH!
Animespiral:
Callmeplum: I think you got cut off O-O Judo-Creature: You being one of my oldest reviewers on animespiral I don't know whether to be flattered or embarrassed. I was never one to really be able to grasp complete happiness in a story unless there was a major obstacle overcome in it. The main reason why I write 'angst' honestly is because I've had so much heartache, pain and suffering in my life that I can only understand things when the pain is too great. I too love happy endings and I try writing them as much as my heart lets me, however sometimes I find it better when a writer can place aside their biased feelings of fairy tale endings and give their readers a heart-wrenching ending that leaves a greater impact as well as tears. Although if for the people who have read "Will you be mine?" already know the outcome of this story, and those who haven't, well they should! And I don't think contortionists are real human beings, but people made of rubber from factories... and your other ones make me laugh, silly clones.
THANK YOU FOR ALL REVIEWS LEFT AND DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE ME SOMETHING TO CHEW RABIDLY ON! The next chapter will be out as soon as I finish writing it! THANK YOU AGAIN. (Don't forget to vote).

Please excuse spelling and grammar, I'm tired and too lazy to fix them all right now...

She had expected to die from the jump, but she didn’t, instead landing on something somewhat padded. Pain registered in her mind, it was her leg, she had landed funny, but she couldn’t stop, he was after her - she could feel his eyes all over her. It still was black all around her and she stumbled, tripping over something and falling into water. She gasped and sputtered for breath, her nightgown dragging her down until her feet touched the bottom and she realized that she could stand.
Someone called out her name and her head jerked in the direction. She was waist deep in the water, her eyes slowly adjusting and she blinked repeatedly. It wasn’t adding up, where was she? Cold shudders sprang throughout her body, the braid from her hair loose and stray strands sticking to her face. Water dripped down her chin and her wet hands rubbed her eyes only to find more wetness streaming down her cheeks, she was crying uncontrollably.
Her name was called again but more urgently and trying her hardest to focus, Rin searched for anything that would help her find the person. Blinking rapidly again causing the tears to fall faster, Rin’s eyes filled with the moonlight and a few feet away from the water’s edge is where she saw amber orbs.
“Sesshomaru,” she called to him in a broken whisper.
He was in ceremonial robes and it was like she was looking at him for the first time since forever. She tried walking to him, but the pain in her leg made her cry out. Her arms lifted to him like a child wishing to be held and she whimpered feeling the water rippling against her freezing body. Looking at him towering over her, she was suddenly enveloped in warmth as he pulled her to his chest, his arms wrapping around her trembling body. Her fingers dug into his robes and she hid her face in his chest and cried. She hadn’t been having a nightmare, Koji was really dead.
E/N: Sorry for the shortness of the last chapter and the long time that it took to update. Work has been horrible and I'm pushing myself really hard in school so I can graduate and be done with highschool. ALSO I'm working on new stories and I'm stuck when it comes to which two I wanna work on first. If you would like to help out, please go to my profile on fanfiction and take a look at the FOUR story summaries that I have up and pick the two that you like best. The two with the most votes will be the stories that I start working on over the summer.

Animespiral:
Callmeplum: I think you got cut off O-O Judo-Creature: You being one of my oldest reviewers on animespiral I don't know whether to be flattered or embarrassed. I was never one to really be able to grasp complete happiness in a story unless there was a major obstacle overcome in it. The main reason why I write 'angst' honestly is because I've had so much heartache, pain and suffering in my life that I can only understand things when the pain is too great. I too love happy endings and I try writing them as much as my heart lets me, however sometimes I find it better when a writer can place aside their biased feelings of fairy tale endings and give their readers a heart-wrenching ending that leaves a greater impact as well as tears. Although if for the people who have read "Will you be mine?" already know the outcome of this story, and those who haven't, well they should! And I don't think contortionists are real human beings, but people made of rubber from factories... and your other ones make me laugh, silly clones.
THANK YOU FOR ALL REVIEWS LEFT AND DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE ME SOMETHING TO CHEW RABIDLY ON! The next chapter will be out as soon as I finish writing it! THANK YOU AGAIN. (Don't forget to vote).
