Ch. 10 - Sleeping Beauty

 

 

Rin woke up with the sunbeam in her eyes. Everything around her was silent as she made her way to the bathroom. She opens the bathroom door and turned on the light switch. She carefully close the door behind her and turned on the water fosses. After washing her face, she dried her face with a towel and brush her hair down her the left side of her shoulders. As she was about to go for another stroke, the door opened and Kenji walked in. Kenji almost froze to see Rin in his bathroom for he almost forgot that he had Rin in his apartment.

 

 

“Rin…” he silently whisper.

 

 

“Oh, Kenji…” she said as she had on a look of relieve.

 

 

Kenji stood there frozen staring at her and remembers of how much he had missed his Rin. Rin stared back at him with blinking eyes but he just seems to stands there like a hypnotize person.

 

 

“Kenji?” Rin said his name again to knock him out of his thoughts. Kenji blinked a couple of times, stared at the ground and then up at Rin again. He held his right hand to his head and brush back his hair. He swallow once and stared back at the young lady again.

 

 

“Next time, lock the door… ok…” he manage to tell her and then walked away leaving the bathroom door open.

 

 

Rin was on her way back to her adopted room when she heard the bathroom door close. She turned her head slightly back and saw the lights from the closed door. She stood there for a few seconds and then decided to walk into the bedroom. She grabbed the shopping bags that was left on the floor and set it on the bed. She picked out an outfit and tried to put it on. The bathroom door swung open and she heard the light switch went off.

 

 

“Kenji?” she called out to him. Kenji froze in the dark hallway as he heard his name being called from the bedroom. “Sesshoumaru-sama…” He wanted to hear her say instead. He slowly turned around and headed towards the bedroom.

 

 

Rin stood there holding onto a short sleeve peach cotton shirt standing next to the bed. A pair of dress pants on the bed and next to it was the shopping bags from last night. Kenji stood there looking at the girl; her hair black and lose bounding her back and the morning sun beaming through the window.

 

“Kenji? I don't know how to wear this…” Rin told him. Kenji blinks a couple of times and then decided to walk up to her. He took the shirt from her hand and unbuttons it. He assisted her to take off her pajama shirt revealing her bra straps and her bare back.

 

 

“You're not shy?” He asks her.

 

 

“I was never really shy… no one really helps me with my clothes except for my Lord himself. He would just have Jaken-sama help me, but Jaken's too short.” She said to him.

 

 

“Is it because of that I look like him?”

 

 

“Perhaps so… at least I'm not afraid of you…”

 

 

“Were you ever afraid of your Lord?”

 

 

“No… I was never afraid of him… since the first time I saw him, I knew that he was a good demon and that I can trust him…” she told him shaking her head.

 

 

“Do you see me as your Lord?” he asks her as she turns her head to face him. She smile beautifully at him and nodded her head.

 

 

“Did you love him?” her smile faded at the question. He locked eyes with her and at the moment, he wanted to kiss her but held if off. His eyes were full of unexpressed emotions and the look of her face was full of questions. He broke the eye contact with her and held up the peach cotton shirt. Rin fully exposed her bare back to him and slowly took her hands out of each of the pajama sleeves.

 

 

Kenji took her left hand and led it through the hole in the shirt of the sleeve and then did the same with her right. Her skin was smooth, soft and warm. He then had the sleeveless shirt rested on her bare shoulders and assisted her to turn around for him to button, but instead, she turned her head to him again.

 

 

“I have always admire him… but I guess now that you've ask me that, I'm not so sure of how I look at him now.” She finally admitted. With that said Kenji pulled her roughly against his chest and hugged her tightly with her back against him. Rin's heart pounded hard against her chest as he held her there.

 

 

Kenji wanted nothing more than to just hold her forever in that spot, forever in that moment, and forever for all eternity. Every memory that he had of Rin; from the moment he met her when she was 6 in the forest to when she was 20 and died in his arms when he couldn't do anything to save her, came rushing back to him like a gust of howling wind.

 

 

 

 

*Flashback*

 

 

“Sesshoumaru-sama!!!” Rin called for her lords name from falling off the cliff.

 

 

“Sesshoumaru!!!” Mizuki screamed his name at the same time from falling along with Rin.

 

 

The two women fell from the mountain cliff when the Great Demon of the South threw them over the edge. Sesshoumaru quickly cut the Demon with his toukojin sending the Demon to go blind. Sesshoumaru ran with all his speed to where the two women had fallen.

 

 

There, he saw a weak human girl in her wedding garments and falling next to her was a strong born Inu youkai. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyebrows. Why couldn't Mizuki just for once not be so weak in using her powers? But he knew why and that caused him to dash after her first.

 

 

He ran his way down the edge as fast as he could and caught her by her waist. He quickly set her aside letting her to hold onto a branch from falling and dashes back down the edge after Rin.

 

 

“Sesshoumaru!” Mizuki called after him.

 

 

“Sesshoumaru…” Rin scream for his name and for once, she didn't add “sama” to his name. Sesshoumaru sped up faster and caught Rin by her hand, but lost his balance and they both fell into the river.

 

 

“Sesshoumaru! Rin!” Mizuki called after them as she jumped down from the hanging branch and went after them.

 

 

Sesshoumaru was holding onto the unconscious Rin and dashes his was out of the water. He carried Rin as he came upon the shore. Mizuki came on at the same time to see Sesshoumaru holding Rin in his arms. Her beautiful red wedding kimono was now soaking wet and her hair that was once held into a fashion had been unbounded by the rapid water.

 

 

“Sesshoumaru, are you alright?” Mizuki ask him in horror. Sesshoumaru looked at her and then back to the girl that was in his arms.

 

 

“Is she…?” Mizuki ask calmly.

 

 

“Never…” Sesshoumaru simply answer her as he walked past her holding Rin in his arms. Mizuki was emotionally shocked at his answer and turn to follow him.

 

 

Just as she was about to take another step, the Demon of the South who was now in his demon form grabbed Mizuki with his giant hand. Mizuki screamed and Sesshoumaru turn to where the scream was coming from.

 

 

“Mizuki!” He called her name and then set Rin down on the rocks and went after Mizuki.

 

 

“YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME DOG!!!!!” The demon scream out his pain at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru dashes after him but was stop when he saw Mizuki screaming, and tears trailing down her demonic checks. And then came a scent of blood. An Inu scent.

 

 

Then there, he saw blood dripping down from Mizuki's legs. The Demon of the South had just killed the unborn infant that Mizuki was carrying, Sesshoumaru's unborn child.

 

 

*End of Flashback*

 

 

Kenji help Rin button her shirt sadly as he thought about his lost of both Rin and Mizuki. He knew that he didn't love Mizuki, but the patient and the understanding that he once receive from her was like no other female demon.

 

 

If only he was never to meet Rin, and only if he was never to have any sort of affection for Rin, he knew he would have had a wonderful life with Mizuki. And not just being the lord of the West, but he could have taken control over the North lands as well. But he chooses not to over a human girl. He never thought that his fate would follow his brothers and his Father.

 

 

Kenji step back a few steps when he finish helping Rin dress. Rin turned around to face Kenji but once again, he cast his gaze on the floor.

 

 

“Thank you…” Rin said to him trying to get him out of his deep thoughts again. Kenji refuses to look at Rin in the eye and just walk away. He stop when he came upon the door.

 

 

“I will be going to work today. Stay home and don't go anywhere. I shall be home around noon. If you're hungry, feel free to cook yourself something…” With that said, he walked out the bedroom door, grab his jacket and his gun and walked out the apartment door.

 

 

Rin heard the apartment door close and took a seat on the bed. “What am I going to do just sitting her?” She question herself. She looked around the room and saw a picture on top of the counter.

 

 

She walked over to the picture and look at. It was a picture of Kenji with his partner Toshi. On the walls were about 8 certificates for Kenji in award of his accomplishments.

 

Rin walk out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. She grab some cooking utensils and decide to make herself a meal. While waiting for the water to boil, she sat down at the kitchen table and pick at her nails.

 

 

“Why did he just hug me instantly? And why does he look so sad every time he's near me? Sometimes I wonder if he really isn't who he is…What if… what if he's really my Lord Sesshoumaru?” She question herself as the boiling of the water interrupted her thoughts.

 

 

After cooking herself some ramen noodles, she wash the dishes and went to sit down on the couch. She looked around the room and cast her gaze on the sleeping bag that was on the floor.

 

 

She went over to it and straighten it out. Then, she went into the bath room and took a towel and wet it. With the wet towel, she started cleaning the small apartment starting with the cabinets and counters in the kitchen.

 

 

Then to the living room by scrubbing the wooded floor until it shines. She made her way into the hallway and then into the bedroom. After that, she straighten things out and organized the plants and flowers.

 

After she cleaned the apartment, she step out to the patio and looked at the city that was once verdant with grass. Now there was no such thing as grass anymore, at least not in this time of period.

 

 

The clock strike 12 as the bell rang “ding-dong” from the clock. Kenji had told her that he would be home by noon, so she decided to take that rest of the time to cook him something.

 

 

She made her way back into the kitchen and took out the cooking gear once again. After the meal was cook, she set it on the table and wait to see if the owner would come to the door. It was already 1:00 in the afternoon and there was no one.

 

 

Rin decided to cover the food with a plate and went to sit down again. She waited again 30 min later and then 30 more minutes. The clock strike 2:00 and yet there was still no one. Rin put her head down on the kitchen table and closed her eyes. Before she knew it, she was silently asleep.

 

 

 

 

Kenji took out his key for his apartment and opened it. He walked in and close the door behind him. He looked around the room and everything in his room seemed to be organize neatly in their place. He put his jacket on the couch and headed towards the bedroom.

 

 

He looked around the bedroom but there was no one there. The lights in the bathroom were out and the place was quite. He made his way to the kitchen and there, he saw the food sitting on the table and next to it was the most beautiful creature.

 

 

She had her hair put up into a bun with a few strands now falling over her sleeping face. She breathe slowly and softly and Kenji can sense that she was now in a deep sleep.

 

He walk slowly to the girl and stare at her for what seemed to be forever. After a few moment had past, he slowly draw up his left hand and place it softly against her pale check.

 

 

He ran the back of his palm along her check bone down to her chin once and bend one of knee. He gently place a kiss on her check and had his lips there for a long time. He remove his lips from her check and inhale deeply.

 

 

“Rin, I won't let you go again…” he says this still looking at the sleeping beauty. Although he knew that Sesshoumaru will come for her. But for the time being, he will never let her go to anyone.

 

 

“Never Rin…”
