To Walk On Tombstones
"Rin! Wake up!” She could hear as she tossed and turned from the current nightmare she was having.
“Rin!”
Rin awoke with a start. Her eyes were wide in slight fear that soon started to fade as she turned to face Jaken.
“What’s wrong, Master Jaken?”
“Rin, Lord Sesshomaru is leaving. Let us move quickly to follow.”
Any trace of fear that was still lingering had completely dissipated at the mentioning of her Lord. Before he knew what was going on, Jaken had found himself staring after Rin who was almost beside his Lord.
“Come on Master Jaken,” she called from atop of Uh-Un.
“Lord Sesshomaru! Wait for me my Lord!”
‘That was such a long time ago,’ Rin thought. ‘Oh how childish I was back then.’ She sighed heavily as she tossed another rock into a nearby lake, completely off guard.
“Rin.”
Someone called her name unexpectantly and she slipped off the rock she was perched on and into the water. After she breeched the surface she gasped for air and swam to the shore. Walking out of the water, head bowed with her hair covering her face, she could hear Jaken yelling at her.
“You clumsy and stupid girl! You should?”
“Jaken. Be silent.”
Rin was startled by the proximity in which her Lord was from her and bent her head even more.
“Rin.”
She faced him. She had too.
“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?” She asked giving him a bright smile.
“Something troubling you?” He asked unemotionally.
“I’m fine, Lord Sesshomaru. Just fine.”
He studied her for a moment before dropping the conversation.
“Let us go then,” he ordered and walked away gracefully.
“Yes! Of coarse, Lord Sesshomaru,” she said as she wringed her hair and followed.
Sitting on top of Uh-Un she turned to her left to address her imp companion.
“Master Jaken, where are we going?”
“Lord Sesshomaru wishes to return to the castle now.”
“The castle?” She questioned.
“Yes, you stupid girl! Lord Sesshomaru doesn’t have time to wonder about anymore. He must take care of his lands now.”
“Yes, right, Master Jaken. I understand,” she said more to herself than him as she gazed after Sesshomaru who was walking ahead of them.
It was two days before they reached Sesshomaru’s castle.
“Wow! Lord Sesshomaru,” she said running up beside him. “It’s so-so beautiful!” She stared at the landscape in front of her in awe. The castle was made up of pale stone and very large with many pillars and statues around it. It was more than beautiful. It was absolutely gorgeous.
“Rin.” Her attention was adverted.
“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru?”
“Do you approve?”
She gawked at him. Did she approve? Was he serious?
“It’s wonderful. I’ve never seen anything like it!” She beamed.
“Good. Now enter and I shall have someone show you to your room.”
“My room?” she asked bewildered.
“If you’re going to stay here, you must have sleeping quarters,” he stated simply before walking inside.
“Oh, right…” Rin trailed off while following him. She stopped upon entering and took the time to admire the building structure.
“Lady Rin,” a servant approached her. “Follow me please.”
Without hesitation Rin followed the woman up a flight of stairs and down a hallway.
“This shall be your room,” the woman said while opening the door.
The room was dressed in many shades of blue. It contained a large canopy bed and beautifully carved furniture.
“Wow,” was all Rin could manage to say before facing the woman.
“My name is Megumi. I am a wolf demon here to serve and assist you with anything you need,” Megumi bowed.
“Thank you. Um. Would you mind telling me where Lord Sesshomaru’s room is?”
Megumi looked at Rin strangely before answering, “Right across from you of coarse. It was his wish.”
“Oh, right. Thank you.”
“Lady Rin, I’ll call you for dinner.” With that being said, Megumi left.
“I wonder where Master Jaken has gone,” Rin asked herself as she slipped out of her room and down the hall.
She descended the stairs in a graceful fashion before walking into another hallway that led to a grand door. She knocked a few times, but she received no reply and entered.
“Hello?” She called. “Is anyone in here?” She still received no answer and decided to look around. It appeared to be a library or a study of some sort. She came close to a mantle that was surprisingly made of wood and examined a few scroll paintings that dangled from it. Peering closely at the pictures she noticed that each of them contained the same person.
“Lord Sesshomaru,” she said to herself while touching one and tracing the outline of his tall body with her index finger.
“Rin.”
Startled by a voice again, she wiped around quickly to face its owner.
“Rin, you shouldn’t be in here,” Sesshomaru spoke, his gaze never leaving her form.
“Sorry, Lord Sesshomaru,” she said bowing. “I shall leave.”
He watched her pass him and approach the door.
“Rin.”
She turned back around to face him again.
“Yes?”
“Are you,” he paused, trying to search for the right word. “Happy?”
Rin gave him a puzzled look. “Of coarse, Lord Sesshomaru. How could I not?”
“Good. Now hurry to supper,” he demanded.
“Yes, Lord Sesshomaru,” she replied before exiting the room.
‘What was with him?’ Rin thought, making her way towards the other end of the castle and into the dinning area. With a little help from one of the maids it wasn’t too difficult to find after all.
Once there, Rin was not surprised that the room was just as astounding as the rest of the place and took a seat at the large table.
Servants around her were rushing in and out of what she assumed was the kitchen and set plates down on the table.
“Rin, you are in my seat! Move!” Jaken yelled at her.
Rin stood and moved aside for the imp to take his seat and Rin decided to take a seat next to him, which was the third seat from the head chair on the left side of the table.
Just as she was about to take her seat again she heard someone else speak to her.
“Rin, your seat is here.”
Rin looked up to see her Lord behind a chair that was on the right side of the table. She stood fully once again and walked over to him to take her assigned seat. Once she sat down she felt her chair slide forward towards the table and looked up to see Sesshomaru pull out his own chair next to her.
With a confused expression she turned her attention to Jaken who was just as confused as she.
“It’s polite to seat a female before a meal,” they heard their Lord say.
Servants placed other various items in front of them. Rin blushed at her childishness caused by the closeness she was to her Lord and started on her supper.
"Rin! Wake up!” She could hear as she tossed and turned from the current nightmare she was having.
“Rin!”
Rin awoke with a start. Her eyes were wide in slight fear that soon started to fade as she turned to face Jaken.
