"I want to go with you." Rin said, hoping that he wouldn't refuse her at that moment. She had her reasons, after all he claimed to be a part of her nonexistant past and was therefore necessary to her. This journey had been started to see if she could learn anything about herself after all...
Sesshomaru's mouth quickly closed before she could remark upon it being open.
Well...
That was quick. His powers of persuasion were far greater than he had originally thought. Indeed, if opening his mouth was all it took to cause one rather talkative female to follow him about then how many females would follow him if he made an actual noise?
Sesshomaru had a sudden mental image of women following him about in swarms and doing his bidding.
He nodded his head.
"This Sesshomaru believes that would be most wise."
He waited for another reaction, maybe one where she threw herself at his feet and thanked him, but nothing happened. His noise theory of female followers was abruptly crushed. How sad...
Rin beamed at him. That was easy enough. Maybe it was too easy. She looked him over, noting that his hair looked blue and silver now that he had armor on and that he suddenly seemed familiar. She rummaged through her scattered thoughts and after finding nothing that explained the sudden familiarity, shrugged the thought off. instead she stood, grabbed her bag from the tree where he had left it, and pulled out another piece of dried meat to munch on. She looked back over to the demon, food in mouth and bag in hand. He was watching her with a quirked brow.
"Goodnight!" She chirped cheerfully, then leaned against the tree, leaving him next to the overly affectionate dragon. The little green toad thing looked over to his lord after she fell asleep.
"Milord...is that...?"
"Yes."
"But milord, she went missing years ago!"
"Of that I am aware Jaken."
"Then how is it that she is here now?"
Sesshomaru let out a sigh.
"Magic Jaken, magic."
oooooooooo
Rin sat up in the middle of the nght, breathing heavily from the dream she had just had. It was an odd dream, different from most of the others she had.
She had been chased by wolves in this dream. But instead of staying dead as she had expected, she woke up to find herself in the arms of the demon that was now resting against the dragon. From there the dream had changed, and suddenly she found herself in a cage, wrists, ankles, and mouth bound and shut.
All around her were taunting cries of the name she was crying.
"Sesshomaru-sama, Sesshomaru-sama save me!!!"
This had changed into another scene and suddenly she was running towards a man clad in white with long white hair blowing in the wind behind him. The same name kept repeating only this time it was her and she was calling his name, the song that he had sang to her earlier in the backround.
Without realizing it, Rin was crying.
She wasn't sure how or why, but he was a part of her past. He really was.
She looked over to him and her brown eyes met gold ones. He appeared worried, but she passed it off as a trick of the light. After all, his expression was the same as it had been a few hours ago.
She lay back down, hoping he hadn't noticed her tears.
oooooooooo
Sesshomaru watched her as she slept, noting how her scent changed from one of peace and then became one of fear. Unconsciously he flinched, then forced the reaction down so that he wouldn't be noticed. Then she abruptly sat up, her small frame shaking from the obvious nightmare she had just had. The scent of salt picked up on the air and he became aware that she was crying.
Then she looked over at him, her face traumatized, her eyes flickering with the beginnings of recognition. Then she layed down again, after nearly ten minutes of gazing at him. She rolled onto her side and presented her back to him. Gradually her breathing evened out into the calm pattern of sleep.
Sesshomaru became aware of a pain in his hands and looked down. He unclenched his fists, watching calmly as the freshly made wounds healed themselves, the blood from them receding back into his skin. He was fascinated with the strange action. He had not harmed himself since he was a child, and even then he had only done so when frustrated.
He stood and walked over to the sleeping girl, noting that her scent was once again calm.
Slowly he sat down, hoping that she would not awaken from the movement. Thankfully she didn't and he leaned against the back of the tree, watching her all the while.
His eyes closed, and for the first time in months, Sesshomaru went to sleep.
oooooooooo
Rin woke up before him, and was a little surprised when she saw that he was so close to her. She could swear that he had been against the dragon last night. Now he was leaning against the tree that she was next to. One leg was extended so that it rested against her hip, and he was asleep.
She looked around.
The little toad thing was lying on it's back, snoring quite loudly for one so small, and the dragon was curled up on its side, rumbling noises emmiting from its chest. In fact, the quietest one here was Sesshomaru-sama.
She sat up and scooted close to him, studying his face curiously.
She regretted her words earlier, about him not being sexy. He was quite so, now that she was free to study him. His ears were pointed, but did not end in long points past the back of his head. They were the size of normal human ears, only pointed. On his cheeks were red stripes, two on each side and there was a blue moon on his forehead. Above his eyes lay red markings that were thick towards the bottom, but extended up to become a bunch of little stripes.
Instinctively she knew that they weren't tattoos or make-up.
Before she could stop herself she reached out to trace the stripes slowly back until she reached his ears. From there she rubbed them, giggling a little when they twitched and biting her lip to be silent, continued to explore them until she became bored. It was only when her fingers slid into his hair to play with it that he opened her eyes.
She gave a frightened squeek and fell backwards, landing on her backside and creating a bruise. She glared at him in defense and embarrassment.
"What do you think you're doing, scaring innocent young girls like that? It's not nice and I demand an apology!"
His eyebrow cocked in a disdainful manner.
"At least I do not molest unsuspecting demons in their sleep." He drawled wryly, causing her to emit another squeek.
"I...I..." She couldn't think of anything to say in her defense. How had he known she was touching him? Suddenly she thought up the greatest excuse in the world, at least to her it was.
"I wasn't molesting you I was trying to read your mind."
There! There was no way he could argue that!
Sesshomaru held back an amused grin.
"This Sesshomaru believes that to read one's mind, all that one needs to do is focus on the others thought waves. Touching one's face, ears or hair is not necessary."
Rin blushed and stood.
"Well...you're hallucinating and that really is necessary to read a persons mind."
"Then accusing me of reading your mind yesterday was quite stupid of you conidering to do so I would have had to molest you; in your own words."
He had her there. Rin mentally cursed herself.
"Umm...um....er...I...uh...there was a bee!"
Before he could point out that to be a bee there would have to be buzzing sounds, and bees don't typically linger in one's hair or ears, she ran off to the stream to put herself back into some semblance of order. When she returned Jaken was awake, and still amazed at her presence. The dragon pranced up to her, her supplies tied to its back and Sesshomaru was busy staring off into the distance. She gave the dragon a friendly pat and decided it looked like an Ah-Un, before running up to Sesshomaru.
"I trust you ran into no bees while you were making yourself presentable?" Were the first words out of his mouth. Rin ignored the obvious antagonization, recognizing it as a tactic of her brothers and asked him where they were headed to.
"The Western Lands." Was his answer, before he began walking away.
Jaken became yelling a number of things, the most reoccuring one of which was "Don't leave me milord!" while the dragon silently ambled behind. Rin followed, feeling an overwhelming sense of deja vu, but brushing it off as early morning hallucination stuff.
That excuse had done wonders in the past.
The sun began to rise over the horizen.
oooooooooo
I know, I know...it's short. All my chappies are short. I'm trying to make them longer but I get distracted easily...Anyways. please read and review! ^.^
Sesshomaru's mouth quickly closed before she could remark upon it being open.
