Chapter 17 Time With You

Rin walked into the room and looked around the room. She explored the room and looked in every drawer or room it had in it. She wanted to know her room inside and out. She never really had her own room before. When she was finished looking in every nook and cranny of the room, she wanted to test out her new bed. She walked over and plopped down face first. The softness of the sheets and the bounce of the mattress comforted and relaxed her. She hadn't laid on a soft bed in years.

A light knock came to the door. "Come in!" Rin called as she started to sit up. The door opened and a young woman entered the room with arms full of new clothes. The she smiled at Rin and shut the door behind her. She walked over to the bed and dropped the clothes on it. Rin stood up wide eyed at all the clothes the lady brought in.

"I don't need this much clothing. I can deal with just one outfit. I don't want to be a burden." Rin told her. The woman just smiled at her.

"Honey, you are no burden. This isn't even all the clothes Lord Sesshomaru has instructed us to get for you!" She told Rin happily. "These are just for you to choose from for today!" Rin was surprised but thanked her anyways.

"What's your name? I would like to thank you properly." Rin asked her.

"I'm Koharu! You're Rin, right?" She replied. Rin nodded in affirmation.

"Thank you Koharu. I really appreciate it." Rin said with a bow to the young lady.

"Oh stop. It's no problem and I'm happy to help!" Koharu told her with a smile. "Now, let's get you out of those rags and into some real clothes!" Rin nodded and turned to take the brown rags off her body. Koharu was picking out some jeans and a cute short sleeve orange t-shirt. Then, she rummaged through the pile for the bras and panties she brought in. She grabbed them and turned to hand them to Rin.

Rin had just slipped the sack off her body and revealed many scars tracing her back. Koharu saw the scars and her jaw dropped. "Oh my god. Rin, did those slavers do this to you?" She asked. Rin turned to look and her and saw her face. Wide eyes and jaw basically on the ground. Then she remembered about the scars.

"Yeah, I try not to think about them. Bad memories, ya know?" Rin said solemnly. Koharu eyes were sad but decided not to push the subject and hurt Rin even further. Koharu smiled sadly at Rin handed her the bra and panties. Rin pulled the panties on then slipped her arms into the bra. Koharu helped her clip the back. Koharu helped her get the rest of the way dress and Rin sat down on the bed. She smiled at Koharu.

"Thanks for your help, but you know you didn't have to. I can get dressed myself." Rin said.

"It's no problem, really! Besides, it's your first day here. It's like tradition to help the new girls when they first get here! From now on you’re on your own!" Koharu teased Rin with a grin. Rin giggled. "I think Lord Sesshomaru doesn't want you to be a servant here anyways. It's part of our job to help out the residence here."

"Yeah, I don't understand why. I'm just an ordinary slave girl. What would he see in me?" Rin told her. Koharu thought about her words. When nothing came to mind, she shrugged it off.

"Well, I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later!" Koharu said. "Come on! I'll give you a mini tour of the castle, if you like?" Rin smiled and nodded. They left the room and walked around the castle. Koharu showed her the main points and they ended at Sesshomaru's room. It was only down the hall from her own room.

"This is his room?" Rin asked in a whisper.

"Yeah, and he put you in the room right down the hall, so that must mean something!" Koharu whispered excitedly before pulling Rin to her room. If Sesshomaru knew they were chatting outside his room, he would probably kill her. They ran into the room giggling and slammed the door shut. They plopped themselves on the bed, still cracking up, and tried to calm themselves. Then, a knock came to the door. They both looked at each other.

"Yes? Who is it?" Rin asked shyly.

"Rin, are you alright? I heard the door slam." A familiar voice called. "Can I come in?" Rin looked to Koharu. She nodded her head.

"Yes Lor... I mean Sesshomaru." Rin caught herself. He opened the door and saw the two girls sitting on the bed. He relaxed knowing she was safe. He looked at Rin and saw how her new clothes hugged her curves. He had to think of something else or he would do something he might regret. He turned and saw Koharu.

"Koharu, you know you are not supposed to slam doors around here." He said to her coldly.

"We were just playing. It won't happen again." Rin told him with a sweet smile. She had him in her back pocket.

"Fine, just don't do it again." Sesshomaru said. He couldn't stay mad at Rin. Sesshomaru turned to leave. Rin didn't want him to go. She wanted to spend some time with him.

"Wait!" She called. Sesshomaru stopped and turned back to face her.

"What is it?" He asked. Rin blushed and looked away.

"It's nothing. Sorry to bother you." Rin said. Sesshomaru looked to Koharu.

"Leave us." He told her.

"Yes my lord." Koharu said before she quickly made for the exit. She left and shut the door behind her. Sesshomaru turned back to Rin. She still wasn't looking at him. He walked to her side and sat down. Rin's blush deepened. She turned away from him to prevent him from seeing.

"Is something wrong?" He asked. He placed a clawed hand on her shoulder and lightly pulled her to face him. She wouldn't look in his eyes. She was too embarrassed.

"No, I just... Wanted to have more time with you." She said a little ashamed of her selfishness. Sesshomaru grinned for only a moment and returned his face to its usual emotionless state.

"All you have to do is ask." He told her. Rin's eyes widened for a moment at his words. Then they softened again and she looked up at him. He wasn't looking directly at her but was watching her in his peripheral vision. Rin lunged herself at him and wrapped her arms around his torso. He was surprised by her reaction. She began to cry into his shirt. Sesshomaru placed his arm around her back and gently rubbed it in circles. When Rin finally settled, she pulled herself up to look into Sesshomaru's face but she wasn't ready to let go of him. Sesshomaru looked at her.

"Why did you start to cry?" He asked.

"I can't remember the last time I cried. I guess it was just all those horrible times coming out now, since I'm safe." She told him. Sesshomaru tightened his hold on her.

"You never have to go through that again. I will protect you. As long as I am alive." Sesshomaru told her. She pressed her face into his chest and smiled.

'I know he will. I feel so safe when he's around me. My heart feels at ease with him.' Rin thought to herself. She barrier her face deeper into his clothes and Sesshomaru put his nose in her hair. He took in a deep breath of her scent. He thought he had never smelt anything better. They sat together for a while just getting more comfortable with one another.

Slap!

Kagome and Inuyasha turned to find Miroku with a glowing red hand print on his face and a fuming Sango storming passed them. They heard her mumbling curses under her breath when she passed. Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a worried expression.

"I'll check on Sango and you go talk to Miroku. We'll meet up later, k?" Kagome said quickly. She kissed Inuyasha and scampered off the comfort Sango and find out what happened. Inuyasha turned around and shot glares at the man in front of him.

"Well, so much for a nice night with the girls." Inuyasha huffed. He spun back around and started to walk. Miroku hurried to catch up with his friend.

Meanwhile, Kagome ran and caught the furious girl. "Hey Sango! Wait up!" Kagome said as she came closer to her. Sango finally stopped. Kagome was hunching over and trying to catch her breath. Sango giggled at her.

"You are really out of shape!" Sango teased Kagome. Kagome began to laugh with Sango when she was breathing close to normal again.

"What happened? Why did you storm off like that?" Kagome asked. Sango's frown returned to her features.

"That pervert tried to..." She looked around to make sure no one was around to hear what she had to say next. When she could see that the coast was clear, she continued. "He tried to grope me!" She whispered to Kagome furiously.

Kagome was surprised. She didn't know that side of Miroku. He never tried any of this with her, but she assumed it was because of Inuyasha and how he was very protective of her. Kagome shrugged it off and decided to comfort her friend. She put and arm around Sango's shoulder.

"Hey let's forget about the boys for a bit! Do you want to go do some practicing like you were talking about earlier? I wanna see how you use that giant boomerang anyways!" Kagome said cheerfully. Sango looked at her surprised.

"Sure! You really wanna watch me practice?" Sango said. They turned to return to Sango's room to get her demon slayer gear.

"Yeah! I think it's so cool!" Kagome said with authentic excitement. They reached the room and Sango rushed to get her uniform on.

Kagome sat and waited for Sango and in the mean time, she tried to lift the giant boomerang and almost fell over from its weight. 'Geez! This thing weighs a ton! I wonder how she's gonna use it.' Kagome thought.

Sango quickly came prancing out in her skin tight leather demon slayer uniform. She saw Kagome trying to lift her weapon and laughed. She walked over and grabbed the boomerang and swung it over her shoulder with ease. Kagome had to blink a few times for her strength to process in her brain.

"What's wrong Kagome? Let's go! I can't wait to swing this baby around a bit!" Sango told her. They left her room and headed outside. Kagome led Sango to a lightly wooded area in the back of the castle.

"Sesshomaru is always complaining about these trees being here. I be the would appreciate it if you cut them down for him!" Kagome said.

"Alright then!" Sango ran and jumped into the air and flung the weapon towards the tree line. "Hiraikotsu!" She yelled and the boomerang carved through the trees with practiced ease and returned to its owners hands. She was only pushed back slightly from the force. Sango repeated this many times and Kagome watched in awe.

'Sango is so strong! I couldn't even lift that thing!' Kagome thought as she watched her friend practice. Then Sango froze. She caught her boomerang.

"Kagome stay behind me. Something's coming." Sango told her. Kagome nodded and stepped back.

On the other side of the castle, Inuyasha stopped mid-step. 'Something demonic is approaching. Where's Kagome?! Damn it!' Inuyasha mentally screamed. Miroku noticed how Inuyasha stopped and tried to figure out what was wrong. Then Inuyasha rushed past him.

"Inuyasha! Where are you going?" Miroku yelled after him. But he got no response. Miroku sighed and chased after him.

Inuyasha sniffed the air and looked all over the servant's quarters until he caught her scent and followed her trail outside. He saw her standing behind Sango and sighed in relief that she was safe. He ran to her side and pulled her close to him. Kagome was surprised and tensed up when he rush to her side but relaxed in his arms.

"Inuyasha, do you feel that? Something is coming. And fast!" Sango said. Inuyasha could feel it and Kagome nestled herself closer into Inuyasha's arms.

"I'll protect you Kagome. Don't worry." Inuyasha whispered to comfort her. She smiled into his chest. Then, the source of the aura burst through the woods line.
