InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Life of a Youkai's Lover ❯ Rin's Dream ( Chapter 11 )

RIN'S DREAM

A light mist clouded the dog demon's eyes. He lowered his eyes as he watched a graceful body rise.

"Rin?" Sesshoumaru whispered, coming up to her.

He turned her around so her brown eyes looked into his yellow. When Sesshoumaru noticed she wasn't speaking or responding, he took a step back.

"Rin, what's wrong with you?" He asked.

When Rin didn't answer Sesshoumaru pulled her into his arms. He felt Rin move against him so he kissed the top of her head.

"Show me, mate. I want to see what you see." Sesshoumaru whispered, taking one of Rin's hands into his and suddenly saw something he guesses was a flashback.

He studied his surroundings and saw an 8 year old Rin playing out in a flower field. Butterflies flew all around her as if she was Mother Nature herself.

~~~~

"Rin, your father is home. Come help me with dinner." A women, no older than 25, called out.

She had long brown hair and sparkling green eyes.

"Momma, I picked you and poppa some flowers. I didn't get Nii-chan any because he's hates them." Rin smiled, holding the flowers to her mother.

"Thank you dear. Come on, we can put them in some water when we get home." Her mother said, taking the young girl's hand.

~~~

"Nii-chan, stop chewing with your mouth full!" Rin yelled, at her younger brother.

"You can't tell me what to do." The 6 year-old boy, yelled back.

Rin picked up a noodle and threw it at her brother.

"Rin, you should know better than that. Say sorry to him." Rin's father scolded.

He looked around 40 years old, but continued to look very handsome and young. He had long black hair and soft brown eyes. His figure was build like a true hard worker.

Rin bowed her head and whispered an apology to her brother; who stuck out his tongue.

The family continued with their dinner when a crash from outside startled them.

"Poppa, what was that?" Rin asked, jumping slightly.

"You kids go with your mother. I'm going to see what that was." Rin's father ordered as the rest of the family ran in the back.

"Children, I want you to get as far as you can from here. I'll go help your father." Rin's mother commanded.

"I want to go help him." Rin's brother yelled.

There was a loud yell from outside which made them all silent.

"Rin, get your brother out of here NOW!" Her mother yelled, pushing them back.

Rin grabbed her younger brother's arm and began running out their back door. Her brother was struggling and screaming at her as they ran.

Rin finally stopped a good distance away and gave her brother a death glare.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you know what could happen if we don't leave?" She yelled.

Her little brother nodded his head, "But I'm a man too. I should be able to help father. I should be able to protect the family… it isn't fare at all."

Rin's eyes softened a bit as she thought about her brother's words. When she looked back at him; he was running back to the house.

~~~~~

"I told you before; our family is very poor. We don't' have anything to offer." Rin's father yelled.

He stood before a group of thieves. They all had weapons and blood all over their clothing. When Rin's father first saw them they demanded for money. When he told them he didn't have anything they began to get violent.

"Did you hear me, old man?" One of the thieves's yelled, kicking Rin's father over.

"Stop it please! He speaks the truth. Our family is very poor. We can't even raise our children well." Rin's mother cried.

"Then you'll die." The thief smiled pulling out a sword.

~~~

"Nii-chan, get back here!" Rin screamed, while running after her brother.

"I have to help--"

A blood curdle scream made the children stop and stare at each other.

"Momma, Poppa!" Rin yelled, running again.

~~~

"Damn fools. For poor people, they put up a good fight." The thief said, cleaning off his sword.

"Father! Mother!" Rin's younger brother yelled.

His fists were balled up and tears threaten to fall from his eyes.

"So, you are one of the children? Your parents had it coming to them kid." The thief laughed.

Tears fell from the young boy's eyes as he launched his body at the thief. The man fell to the ground and pulled out his sword. The ice cold blade hit the 6 year old body, as he fell to the ground.

"You little brat, you deserve to die along with your parents." The man said, standing up.

Rin's brother moaned in pain as his little hands came o his face. He saw the blood and began to cry.

"SISTER, PLEASE RUN!" The young boy cried, as he took his last breath.

~~~~~~

Rin watched in horror as the men laugh at her dying brother. She stood in a bush so they wouldn't notice her. Her eyes turned from her brother's body to her parents. They were tangled together as if they both tried to protect each other.

She couldn't speak, talk, or even move. She just stood there until the last of the murders destroyed her home and road off.

~~~~~~

Sesshoumaru blinked when he noticed he was no longer in Rin's thoughts. He looked down at her face and saw tears falling from her eyes.

"You had a terrible past. As a young child you saw things you shouldn't have. I guess having your memories back and watching your last living family member in your new life die, triggered something inside of you. I'm sorry you had to go through that again. Please love, speak to me. I promise I won't let anything like that happen to you again."

Rin still didn't respond and Sesshoumaru felt himself become a little inpatient. He collected his thought and decided to try something else. He put his hands on Rin's face; rubbing the tears. His eyes softened again when he felt Rin tighten her hold on him.

"Do you remember what happened a few months after that?" Sesshoumaru whispered; pulling Rin into his memories.

~~~~~

"Who's there?" Sesshoumaru's deep voice called out.

His eyes flashed a dark red and he snapped his head towards the observer. He was surprise to see a young child staring at him.

She had messy brown hair and dirty clothes. She looked like a normal human child, filled with joy and adventures, and yet her eyes held so much sorrow. Too much for a child of her age.

The girl made her way to the demon. Sesshoumaru watched the girl's every single move. He was surprised again when he didn't sense fear from her.

"I don't eat human food." He suddenly said when the girl held up some kind of soup to him.

The girl lowered her hands and picked up a near-by water jog. She looked back up at him and poured the water on his head. Sesshoumaru growled and turned to the girl, but she was already leaving.

The following days had been pretty much the same for the two. The girl would come and try to take care of him. It would always end with the girl leaving and Sesshoumaru slightly pissed off. Even so, there was always a part of him that enjoyed the girl's company and couldn't wait to see her the next day.

"What happened to your face?" Sesshoumaru asked the girl one day.

She had burses, dried blood, and cuts all over her. It looked like someone beat her up in someway.

When Sesshoumaru looked back at her; she was smiling at him.

`Why does she look at me that way?' He thought, watching the girl seat next to him.

He would have sent her away, but something wanted her near him.

`Besides, this is my last day here. I'll leave tonight.' He thought.

The rest of the day continued with the girl beside him. They never talked, but every time Sesshoumaru looked at her. She would smile at him.

The evening soon came and the young girl stood up. She gave Sesshoumaru one last smile before running off.

~~~~~

"You weren't alone long. Even if I didn't show you, I would have always been there for you." Sesshoumaru whispered.

Rin's eyes began to water again as she rubbed her head against him.

"I'm just sorry I wasn't there to protect you this time. Just like last time."

~~~~~~

"Blood?" Sesshoumaru whispered; turning around.

Jaken looked in the direction of his Lord and smiled.

"It is only a human. Please Sessho-"

Sesshoumaru pushed Jaken over as he walked in the direction of the smell.

`This is the way that girl went everyday.'

He continued walking until he noticed a dark figure on the ground. There were some wolf youkai around it and they seemed to be feeding off of it.

"A young human girl," Jaken whispered, behind Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru turned and stared at the weak youkai. Jaken jumped and backed away.

Sesshoumaru turned his attention to the wolves and looked at them. They noticed him and tried to launch themselves at him. Sesshoumaru killed them with ease and made his way to their fest.

"That girl," He whispered looking her over.

He bent down as if examining her and slowly pulled her into his arms. He heard Jaken gasp behind him, but paid it know mind.

Sesshoumaru pulled out his Tensiga in front of the girl and waited. A few seconds later the body in his arms began to move.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, you brought a human girl back to life." Jaken yelled, in shock.

"I was simply testing my power." He said, turning away.

He heard little movement behind him and turned. The girl smiled up at him as she followed. Sesshoumaru felt something inside of him warm up as he continued on.

~~~~~~~

"Thank you Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin whispered, after the flashback.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl and smiled lovingly at her. Rin hugged him and gave him a soft kiss on his lips.

"It was always you who was there for me."

"That's because I love you more than anything." He stated, kissing her again.

"I love you too." Rin cried.

After a long moment of silence Sesshoumaru pulled Rin away from him.

"Rin, when you wake up I want you to see if you can pass through the well."

"Why Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"My brother and I were unable to come to your time. We want to see if you can."

"What if we can't? I may never see you again."

"We will think of something. Don't worry. But I must go know; I'll see you soon." Sesshoumaru whispered, kissing her again.

When he disappeared; Rin's eyes snapped open. She looked around and found herself back in Kagome's room.

"About time you woke-up." Kagome smiled.

Rin sat up and looked at Kagome, "Let's go."
