Sairiah-sama made a hasty exit. Unfortunately for the strict demoness, she had an insatiable match-making instinct and she had seen the look Sesshomaru had given the human girl when their eyes met. They were attracted to each other, which made her job better and worse. She had to train the girl so that she could find a suitable husband, but there was no one more suitable in Sairiah's mind than Sesshomaru. It was such a shame he seemed to hate humans so much.
She went into the gardens by the training dojo, and sat on a stone stool with a contented sigh.
Ah...love...
Bronislav was sitting calmly in the tree when he heard the footsteps rush toward his general direction then abruptly stop almost right underneath him. A contented feminine sigh quickly followed as well as a slight giggle. He looked down only to see the top of...Sairiah-sama's(?) head. At least he thought it was Sairiah-sama. He had only met her twice and the second time was when he had learned her name, although he hadn't been listening very closely and therefore he couldn't be positive it was Sairiah.
He rolled over and landed next to the stone bench she was sitting on, startling her. She stood and glared at him.
Where on earth had he come from? She didn't recall having seen him in the garden when she came in, and she certainly didn't recall his name. She gave a small bow, not forgetting her manners.
"You startled me sir." She said, looking over his features. She supposed he was handsome. In and odd and foreign sort of way. He was too tall, and he wasn't wearing the customary gi and hakama a man wore. In fact, he was wearing a loose shirt of some sort and a pair of leggings that hugged closely, but loosely at the same time. A pair of what appeared to be leather boots was on his feet, although the boots went all the way to his knees, and were a shining black as opposed to a natural brown.
He bowed back, although his bow was as odd as his appearance. Instead of pausing when his head was even with his shoulders and placing his hands in front of them, he kept them to the side and bowed until his head wasalmost even with his midsection. His feet were placed in a "V." Sairiah-sama's eyebrow rose.
"I do not believe it is necessary to bow so deeply sir." She said, then raised both her eyebrows at his response.
"Ah...but you forget that I am not japanese like you. My customs are different. For example..." A clawed hand reached out and grabbed one of her pale, almost white ones. He bowed again, this time a smaller one, and kissed the back of her hand. "...In my country, it is customary for a gentleman to kiss a pretty lady's hand upon meeting her. And if the lady is beautiful..." He turned her hand over and kissed the palm. "..We kiss her palm to say so. If the lady is one of interest..." He kissed her wrist then laughed as she snatched it away. "..We kiss the inside of her wrist."
Sairiah's cheeks tinted with a small blush. "And here a gentleman only kisses a lady if he has designs upon her person, or if he is fond of her."
Bronislav laughed. "True. You are a lovely one and it is possible."
Sairiah was shocked. Did he imply what she think he implied? This was the first time they had ever spoken! Did he honestly think it appropriate to say such a thing!?!?!?! She bowed her head again, this time as a way to aknowledge respect before leaving.
"I will take my leave sir, if all you have to say are rude things." She began to move past him, but he stepped in her path.
"Rude? How is it rude to say a lady such as yourself is lovely and show interest?"
"Interest in her person sir, not in her mind nor wit. Good day."
Before he could stop her again she moved past him in hurried strides. She still had lessons to teach to her pupil, and she didn't wish to dally in the gardens anymore. The company was...distasteful...and rude.
Bronislave watched her go, a twinkle in his eye. Sairiah had successfully caught his interest. There was no way that somebody could be that proper all the time, and besides, she was a witty as she was lovely. Yes, his interest was indeed caught.
oooooooooo
Time seemed to pause for an eternity the moment Sesshomaru's hands landed in Rins waist. He was extremely aware that she not only smelled nice, but that she was extremely beautiful in her new kimono with her hair up and make-up on her eyes. Not that she hadn't been beautiful before, for a human.
As for Rin she was extremely aware that he was holding extremely close to his unclothed chest. Not only that his flesh was very warm. It burned hot, almost like a furnace, but it didn't hurt. He was just so warm...
Their eyes locked on each others. Without being aware of it their heads tilted towards one anothers. Their lips skimmed and their breaths mingled when a sudden cough sounded behind Sesshomaru. They jumped apart guiltily, Sesshomaru trying to figure out what had just came over him and Rin wondering why she felt so warm all of a sudden.
Sesshomaru turned around slowly, glaring at the intruder. Rin blushed. It was the hanyou boy from last night, and he had the largest and most amused grin she had ever seen on anyone on hisface.
"If you two lovebirds don't mind, some people need to use this hallway to get to the bath house." He said, his voice as full of humor as his grin.
"Rayar. If you dare..." Sesshomaru began but stopped when Rayar waved his hand and cut him off.
"Yeah, yeah. Impalement, flogging, possible dismemberment, beheading, and a ton of other things will happen to me if I ever mention that you were kissing a human."
Then, before Sesshomaru could respond he walked past them, saluting his cousin along the way and giving a thumbs up to Rin. As he dissapeared around a corner he yelled back at them.
"I approve!"
Sesshomaru growled and walked away right as a flushed looking Sairiah came into view. Rin looked at the demoness's red face, and Sairiah looked at Rin's red face.
"I won't ask if you don't." They said at the same time, then nodded their heads in agreement with the other.
ooooooooo
"Have you seen a young girl pass this way, a little older than me? She has black hair and brown eyes and her name is Rin."
The farmer shook his head from his carriage, noting how lovely the young woman before him was. She looked as though she had been travelling for days. Her clothes were dusty and torn near the bottom, and there was a faint bruise underneath her right eye. Even for all that she was still one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, and considering he was in his sixties, that was quite a lot of women.
She gave a small and sad sigh, her shoulders slumping. Then she bowed.
"Thank you sir. It was kind of you to stop." With that said she began walking again, in thegeneral direction of west. She had only taken a few steps when the farmer called out to her again.
"Young lady! I see that you don't have a travelling pack with you and you must be rather hungry. I don't know how much further you have to go, but would you be willing to spend the night with my wife and I. We can give you a hot meal and a warm bed for the night."
Kanashimi smiled at the man grateful for his offer. It had been a long time since she had a bed to sleep in. And she was rather hungry. The last time she ate was two days ago, and it had cost her the last of her money. She had no knowledge of herbs or berries like Rin did, and she had never learned to fish or hunt in her entire life. She had been raised in a brothel after all, and the only thing she knew how to do properly was lie back and well...earn her keep so to speak. Even then she was a failure. She brought in little money due to her lack of enthusiasm. The best customer she had ever had was Haku, and even then, she hadn't made him pay. He had been convinced that he was in love with her, and she had been convinced that maybe sleeping with a friend would be better than a stranger.
She had only been half right.
"Of course, and thank you ever so much sir." She replied, hopping into the carriage next to him. He smiled at her and gave the reigns a snap to get the horses moving.
"You'll have to wait a few hours for the meal, seeing as I have to deliver these vegetables to the daimyou's house, and then ride back, but my wife's cooking is more than worth it."
Kanashimi nodded her head, and inquired respectively about his family. He immediately launched into the story of how he and his wife met, their children, and country gossip. She listened wide-eyed, then responded when he asked her questions about her search.
Kami-sama, she hoped she found Rin.
oooooooooo
So that's it! The eigth official chapter. What do you think of Sairiah and Bronislav? And Rayar? I hope you review and tell me.
By the way, chapters will be coming faster now. I suddenly don't have to babysit as often, so I'm gonna type as many as I can, and as often as I can when I get the free-time. I have other things to work on, but I WILL finish this story.
Lingo for this and the last Chappie:
Daimyou- basically the lord of a region.
Wakatta - I understand.
Hai - yes
Dokkaisu - poisen flower claw. It's Sesshy's green whip thing.
Tokijin - Sesshomaru's EVIL SWORD OF DOOM! BWAHAHAHA!!!
Miko - priestess
Hmm...What would you all think If I just made a chapter at the end of the story entirely for japanese lingo, even if it's not used in the story? I have a whole bunch that I randomly collected just for writing Sess/Rin fanfics. Oh, and has anyone caught on that the chapter names are in latin? The number part that is.
