The sun’s rays were just now starting to creep through the trees, lighting the forest for all to see. The night sky quickly gave way to the day as the darkness faded into a bright blue.
“ No…no…please…” Rin cried out in her sleep. Sesshomaru’s ears perked up and he looked at her curiously. He sat against the same tree as before. “ No! Don’t!… Lord Sesshomaru! Help me!” Rin shot up into a sitting position and covered her face with her hands and started to cry. Sesshomaru just held his same curious gaze on her.
After a moment, she sniffled and wiped her face, then looked up to Sesshomaru and caught his gaze. She gasped and looked confused. “ Lord Sesshomaru?” This caused his curiosity to grow. The next thing he knew was that Rin had crushed into him against the tree and was hugging him tightly while weeping into his chest. His eyes widened mostly in shock to what she was doing. “ I thought it was all a dream, but you’re here, you’re really here.” She strangled the words out through her sobs. “ Thank you.” She whispered a moment later.
Sesshomaru did not do anything, not even move. “ Release me.” He said calmly.
Rin gasped then quickly backed away and bowed before him on the ground. “ Forgive me milord! I did not mean to touch you!” She said in a panic. “ It’s just that I’m so happy you’re here.” She looked up to see that he had risen and was now walking away, as if ignoring her.
“ We’re leaving.” He said as he kept walking. Rin looked at his back questioningly. But then she gave up then took a hold of Ah-Un and lead him after Sesshomaru.
Jaken awoke mid-snore just in time to see them a good distance away. He jumped up. “ Were you just going to leave me?! Wait! Wait for me!” He cried out and ran after them.
They had been walking for a while now. Rin was now on top of Ah-Un and bent over forward asleep on his back. They walked into a clearing and over the edge and down a ways a village could be seen. They walked through it and to the forest on the other side, however, a moment after they entered the forest Sesshomaru stopped. “ Stay here.” He said, then turned and walked away.”
“ Wait! Where are you going milord?!” Jaken called after him and of course received no response. He huffed then sat down and crossed his legs.
About an hour had passed and Sesshomaru had still not returned. Jaken huffed again and fell backwards on the ground. Rin started to stir on top of Ah-Un. She rubbed her eyes then sat up and stretched. She looked around to gather her surroundings. “ Where is Lord Sesshomaru?” She asked Jaken.
He remained on the ground. “ Gah! I don’t know!” He wailed.
Rin seemed to become worried. “ You, you mean he’s not here?”
“ Didn’t you here me the first time you stupid gi…uh… woman” He was a bit confused as to what to refer to her as now.
However, Rin hadn’t noticed his remark at all. “ Where is he?! He left us here? Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!” She cried out in a panic. She was scared.
“ Quiet.” A voice called from behind.
Rin whipped around when to where the voice came from and smiled when saw Sesshomaru walking towards them. “ Where did you go milord?” She asked him. He walked up to her and held something out to her. She looked down at it curiously. “ What is that milord?” After observing it more closely she realized what it was. “ Oh!” She squealed in joy and quickly took it from him. It was a beautiful pale green kimono decorated with little white flowers. She held it to her body and let it flow out to her feet. By the looks of it, it was the perfect size. How had he known that? She looked back up to him, her eyes gleaming with joy. “ Thank you milord.”
Sesshomaru once again appeared to ignore her as he turned and walked towards a tree. “ Destroy those rags you have…” He then sat down against the tree. “…and wash before putting that on. There is a stream over there.” He motioned towards it with his eyes.
Rin’s joy faded almost instantly. “ A…stream?” She spoke nervously and began to lightly shake.
Sesshomaru noticed her hesitation and looked over to her. “ There is no reason for your fear.” He said to her.
She looked down at her feet as her fingers began to play with the cloth in her hands. “ Yes milord…but, will, will you come with me?” She barely got the words out.
“ Rin! Do not trouble Lord Sesshomaru! You have already been enough of a nuisance!” Jaken screamed at her as he jumped up and down in anger.
Rin cringed at his words and stopped all her fidgeting and stood completely still. She hung her head low to where he hair covered her face, hiding all of all the emotions it expressed. “ I see.” She spoke calmly, but there was a hint of something else in her voice. “ I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be of any trouble.” Sesshomaru saw a tear fall to the ground and his eyes winced as he tried to see her face. “ Forgive me my lord!” She cried and ran off into the direction of the stream.
“ Human woman are such silly creatures!” Jaken shouted in annoyance. Sesshomaru only remained in his spot and had his head turned in the direction Rin had run off in.
Rin now sat on her knees at the bank of the stream with her head in her hands. ‘ Why am I always crying?’ She thought to herself. ‘ I am finally back with lord Sesshomaru and it seems that all that I can do is cry. I really am nothing but trouble.’ She wiped away her tears and stood up. Slowly put her foot in, testing the water, but then quickly pulled it back. “ I’m such an idiot.” She said aloud to herself. She then heard a rustling noise. She quickly spun around and quickly looked for the source. “ Who’s there?” She called into the empty air. She then saw several leaves falling and quickly looked up to the top a tree.
There she saw the source of the noise. Sesshomaru sat silently with his back against the tree, one leg sitting atop the branch he was on and the other hanging over it’s edge. He looked straight ahead, which was in an adjacent angle from where Rin was standing. “ Do not waste time. We still have much land to cover before the sun sets.” He said without looking at her.
Rin gave him a wide smile then nodded her head. She quickly undressed and jumped into the stream. Once in it she submerged herself in the water then rushed up to the top. She giggled, then did it again. “ It’s been so long since I’ve been able to bathe like this!” She happily shouted, then ran her hands through her hair. Sesshomaru had looked at her with a blank face through the corner of his eye when she spoke and held his gaze at her a moment longer before looking away again.
An odd scent traveled into Sesshomaru’s nose. He snapped his head and glared into the trees on the opposite side of the water. Rin continued to giggle and splash around in the water until she heard Sesshomaru unsheathed his sword. She quickly stopped and looked up at him. “ What is it milord?”
He stood atop of the branch now with his sword drawn and his eyes narrowed. “ Get back.” He softly commanded. She immediately crawled out of the water and covered herself behind a bush. He then pushed himself off the branch and flew through the air towards other side of the stream.
“ No…no…please…” Rin cried out in her sleep. Sesshomaru’s ears perked up and he looked at her curiously. He sat against the same tree as before. “ No! Don’t!… Lord Sesshomaru! Help me!” Rin shot up into a sitting position and covered her face with her hands and started to cry. Sesshomaru just held his same curious gaze on her.
