Vampire Hunters
With his long white hair but young face, narrow golden eyes he watches her
“Master Sesshomaru dinner is ready” a short bald man stood in his doorway bowing.
“I will be down in a minute Jaken, tell Rin to get ready”
“Yes sir” the butler left the doorway and wobbled to another room where she was not at the moment. The golden eyed white haired Sesshomaru stood and opened his closet doors to find a freshly pressed suit waiting for him.
On the second floor awaited a long table set with silver plates and silverware graced with delicious home cooked dishes. The aroma almost sickened Sesshomaru but he endured the smell for her. A door on the other side of the room opened and she walked in, her long brown hair hung loosely over her shoulders and down her long red dress. She smiled and sat down.
“Thank master Sesshomaru for the dress but, why do we have to dress so formal tonight?”
“Stop calling me master, Rin”
“Yes… um Sesshomaru…” she said unsure of how to address him
“Hurry up and eat” he ordered and she smiled in reply.
He watched her as she ate with elegance he remembered when he first found her. Weak and helpless just screaming for death to take her and yet, when she had looked at him. Even knowing what he was she smiled and quickly noticed his small wounds that would heal quickly then.
He noticed she had finished and was looking at him oddly.
“Sesshomaru…?”
“I must leave you now”
“I know…” she gave an uneasy but kind smile as he left.
“Thank you Jaken the food was delicious”
“I didn't cook it”
“Oh then I guess I was right, if you had it probably would've even killed Sesshomaru with the smell” the girl laughed running from the offended butler and out into the backyard garden.
“He's a vampire yes I know but… how did he become so rich? Oh ya his company but I never knew vampires did such work even in the light. Then again I only find him in his office room with the blinds shut and the air colder than winter. He acts as if he'll melt if any human touched him… yet I always feel him watching in a way he never watched me before…” the girl sat on a white stone bench and looked up at the crescent moon.
Sango had spent almost a week in her room Kagome heard her soft sobs as she passed now and then but nothing more. Finally Sango's room was silent as she slept. Sadly her peaceful dreams would not last as she awoke to the sound of tapping in her closet.
“Kirara…” she got up and opened the doors, she waited for her cream colored kitten to pounce out but instead a picture floated down carelessly. She bent down and picked it up as she stood she met with a color drained face of her brother! She fell back and blinked she looked again and saw nothing there. Tears fell down her recently salted cheeks. She closed her eyes and listened as a tear hit the picture in her hand. She looked down and smiled but the tears only came down stronger. It was of her brother Kohaku and her family, but Kohaku was the one she most looked at… his face was painted tan and his eyes filled with so much life and love his freckles dotting his face over a big smile. The smile was at her, relief and peace swept through her body as she looked out the window with determination.
“I will kill them all” Sango got up and changed into an all black skin tight outfit, she tied back her hair and slipped into her buckled boots.
“Kagome come on!” she jumped over the railing and landed in front of the startled Kagome.
“Sango are you alright?”
“I agreed to be a vampire hunter for certain reasons. Now I must uphold my duties to exterminate all vampires that I can”
“Ok” Kagome nodded and quickly changed, they got into the repaired car and sped off on the silent night.
White flew threw the sky and swiftly flashed by streets. Suddenly a man stood over a now forever sleeping victim's body.
“Kagome…” Sango whispered and they spun around and parked, he turned and knew someone was there but did not see them. Sango hopped out of the car and as if she was on clouds or something she quietly and gracefully jumped onto the roof of a building, she ran across the roof and stopped. Kagome jumped over a few rotted items and both landed by just a cold body.
“Where'd he go?”
“I'm right here” they both turned to a dark voice that had the least bit of kindness in it. Both were a bit surprised by the vampire before them… he had long white hair and golden narrow eyes that spiked every hair on their body. A line had scarred each side of his cheek but it suited him perfectly.
“You never knew tonight would be your last” Kagome pulled out her white knife and aimed for his heart but for some reason couldn't throw.
“You insolent dolt! Did you really think your little tricks and toys could do me any harm?!” he gave a fake smiled and disappeared into the night.
“Damn” Kagome felt whatever that had held her back leave and she cracked her neck a few times as Sango cursed kicking the dead man's body.
“You know it was kind of odd wasn't it?”
“What are you talking about Kagome?”
“That vampire was wearing a suit…”
Sesshomaru landed on his balcony and looked down at the garden to see Rin half asleep on a white stone bench. Her soft skin was highlighted by the moons dim rays her blood red dress sent an odd desire through his very soul. He pushed it away and walked into his room. Just then the young Rin opened her eyes and saw his white retreating hair.
“Master Sesshomaru?” Rin knocked on the oak door and was quickly answered by his violent but softened gold eyes.
“I said not to call me master, what is it you need so late at night?”
“I just felt alone being all the way at the last room on the top floor. I know it's dumb but… I got a little scared”
“How you've never been scared all these days except for now?” his voice wasn't soft but it wasn't cruel or angry either more emotionless but not lifeless.
“I'm sorry…” she bent her head down and all he could do was look at her with a bit of surprise. She was wearing a nightgown he hadn't given her, one he had never seen. It had small straps bunched in groups of 3 on each shoulder and was the shade of fresh blood. It fit so well on her petite figure and though it had seemed like something that would have disgraced her beauty it did not but was the total opposite on her. Sesshomaru moved to the side then walked form his door but left it open. Rin looked up and gave a childish smile as she followed him, the door without a hand touching it closed softly till it clicked.
“Thank you ma… Sesshomaru” she laid next to him under the warm cotton fabrics and quickly fell asleep. He could not fall asleep so easily though, even though she was on the other end of the bed he could feel the heat of her body. He closed his eyes and the heat turned into warmth he had only felt long ago… he looked to find her snuggled up next to him. He hesitated but slowly put a protective arm around her. Though she was asleep she knew she was safe and a heavenly smile was upon her red lips.
Rin opened her chestnut eyes to feel the safe warmth now gone, the sun peered into the room and Rin got up and closed the blinds. It was still very early and she was still so very tired, she yawned and crawled back into the large bed. Sesshomaru opened the door to find that the blinds had been closed blocking out the sun, he looked at the sleeping Rin and sat next to her. He looked at her face and her figure shaped by the blanket then turned away.
“Sesshomaru… I remember…” she yawned “I remember the first time we met… when you saved me from the other vampires” he looked at her and saw that the blanket had fallen and revealed her bright red nightgown. He looked away with the memory…
Sesshomaru had finished his nightly feeding when he heard the weak cry of a child. He was disgusted by any vampire that would feed on a defenseless child but cared not for the now damned human. He traveled on in the night and later happened to return to the area where the scream had come form not too long ago. He smelled fresh blood but only saw the corpse of a vampire. Then his senses drew him to a body that at first looked dead but he saw the girl's wrist move from the pulse of her blood. He picked her up and held her for a moment. Slowly the girl opened her eyes and the first thing she did was smile at him then go back to a fatal sleep. He brought her back to his mansion and left her in the care of one of the maids who immediately treated her wounds. It had now been five years and that girl was the now 17 year old Rin who sat next to him.
“Sesshomaru…? Thank you” she hugged him and he almost choked from the feel of her breasts against his back. He turned though and hugged her in return then stood up and left as she fell back asleep.
The smell of bacon and other many different breakfast foods filled Rin's senses and she smiled sitting up in the bed. She was amazed to find Sesshomaru next to her he looked so peaceful and innocent asleep. Rin held back form kissing him and was a little confused on why she wanted to kiss him in the first place. He was like a father to her, he saved her and healed her. Even though she could support herself now he still took care of her every waking day. She loved him like a father, she slid out of bed and skipped downstairs just as Jaken ran down the hall crazy.
“Rin is missing…?” he stopped and looked at Rin “Where have you been?”
“I was in Sesshomaru's room”
“What? All night?”
“Yes Jaken, she was scared being alone in the room you put her in” the short butler turned to see Sesshomaru standing in the hall and walking towards them.
“Good morning Sesshomaru!” Rin smiled and gave a slight bow before finishing her walk or skip to the dining room.
“Master Sesshomaru you did not…”
“No Jaken, now why would I do that to her” Sesshomaru spoke in a calm voice that still caused Jaken to scamper away frightened. Sesshomaru followed behind Rin into the dining room but instead of sitting down he walked through another door into his own personal library. Rin happily chomped down her food while out of the corner of her eye saw Sesshomaru walk by with one last glance at her.
Rin hopped and skipped a step while smiling as she entered the 3rd floor hall and off of the marbled stairs. She walked up a few more steps around the corner and went into her room on the top floor. She opened her closet and pulled out a short orange kimono and brown slippers. She looked in the mirror and did one long braid on the side and clipped the rest of her hair back with a peach colored flower pin. She got dressed and walked back downstairs after brushing her teeth of course. She knocked softly on the glass doors and entered the library to find Sesshomaru sitting with his back faced to her.
“Sesshomaru? What are you doing I've never seen you in here before…” she gazed at all of the books while walking over to Sesshomaru. She tucked her hands behind her back and leaned over to peek at him and was surprised to find him sleeping. She held back a laugh at his innocent expression and then her giggle became a kind smile. She got the look of an idea and ran out of the room coming back seconds alter with a small blanket. She placed it over his shoulders and was about to leave when he caught her wrist. He slid his grip down to her hand and pulled her in front of him.
“I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you…” in all of her wildest dreams did she ever think she would see what she saw. She blinked a few times and clearly saw, Sesshomaru was smiling! Though it was a small smile it was still amazing. Her eyes brightened up and she smiled wider than she had expected to.
“What are you so happy about?” he asked his smile gone but his face no totally emotionless
“What were you smiling about Sesshomaru?” he sighed
“Your hair”
“It is ugly?”
“No, it just looked… cute”
“Thank you” she laughed and got down on her knees to see him from the point of view she always saw him in.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you I love you Sesshomaru you're like a real father to me!” she smiled and hugged his arm then bowed and left the room. For some strange reason those words had not made him feel anything… truly nothing but a small ounce of sadness.
Rin closed the door and the same feeling swept over her, as if she had just done something wrong. For some unusual reason she regretted those words, she wanted to rewind time and take those words back but she couldn't. She walked back upstairs a bit nervous for a reason she was scared to understand.
She had nothing else to do but sit outside and watch the birds rarely flew over the tall stone wall that surrounded the garden. She sat by the pond for a few moments but became restless so Rin decided to take a bath or better yet she could go soak in the hot springs! She told one of the maids where she would be and grabbed a towel as she made her way to the spring. She put her clothes in a basket and stepped into the warm waters. Since it was beginning to become colder outside the waters were a big welcome. She laid back and looked at the shapes of clouds in the bright blue sky.
Sesshomaru searched all of the many rooms but could not find Rin anywhere.
“Master? Do you need something?” one of the cleaning maids asked as she stopped by the room he was currently in
“Do you know where Rin has gone?”
“Oh the cute little brunette I believe she went out to the springs near the garden sir”
“Thank you” Sesshomaru wanted to find Rin but did not want to go outside, he never really like the light of sun. It wasn't as if he'd turn to ash and die he just wasn't a sunny type of vampire. He paced in his room then around the stairs.
“Oh Miss Rin did you like your swim in the spring?”
“Yes thank you for asking ma'am” Rin smiled at the woman and Sesshomaru heard her coming up the stairs. He stood and looked at her.
“Sesshomaru?” she held a green towel around her still wet body, her hair stuck to her skin and dangled in front of her face. She smiled
“Are you ok?”
“Yes, hurry and get dressed for lunch”
“Yes sir” she finished walking to her room and he let out a small sigh. The feelings he had felt earlier were even stronger now and he feared them…
Rin dried off and put on a different orange kimono this one with orange blossoms around a sleeve and the brown branches on the other. She tied her hair back with a black ribbon and slipped on her slippers as she left the room and went downstairs for lunch. Sesshomaru was already at the table drinking coffee as she sat down. She still had a new feeling in the pit of her stomach and it seemed to rise when ever she looked at him. She looked up and their eyes met. Her light brown ones swirled around his golden eyes and she gave a big smile. He sipped the last bit of his coffee and stood just as she had finished her sandwich.
“Sesshomaru can we go…” Rin was interrupted by the sound of the front doorbell. Jaken opened the door and a woman with midnight hair tied in a bun with beads and strange red eyes with deep red lipstick walked in. She wore a red and white dress with lines of green down the sides.
“Sesshomaru!”
“Kagura” Sesshomaru bowed to the woman as she made herself at home, she sat on a large chair and smiled deviously.
“You haven't been out much have you”
“No not lately”
“Why not, actually don't answer that. Instead let's have an early dinner. The sun will soon set anyway.” Without an answer the woman Kagura stood and went over to a cabinet filled with champagne and wine. She pulled out 2 glasses and a bottle of fine wine. She opened it easily and looked at Sesshomaru as if impressing him and poured the wine. She handed him a glass and put the bottle away.
“Please let us talk outside” she opened a door to a large porch and walked out. The sun was half down allowing only red and purple rays of light to shine in the sky.
“My dear Sesshomaru you seem so depressed in this home of yours. Is it because you have no one to share it with?”
“I have plenty of people whom I share this house with”
“I mean a special someone” this struck no emotion on his face but something inside bloomed.
“If you're talking about you living here then no”
“Oh, so cold” she smiled and sipped her wine. A few moments later as the sun had completely disappeared but still hadn't pulled it's colors of day into the night Kagura turned a forced a passionless kiss on Sesshomaru.
Rin stood form her room and had just looked down in that area when she saw this… she for some reason felt a hard pain in her heart and turned away.
Sesshomaru pushed Kagura away and pointed to the door.
“I am not like you Kagura”
“Yes I know, you have no heart…” she left in anger as the moon and stars sparkled.
Rin left her balcony and sat on her bed, slowly she fell into a lonely sleep.
Rin awoke to find herself in Sesshomaru's bed!? She looked around confused and spotted him sleeping next to her. She laid her head back down and looked at him sleep. She felt the weight pull her eyelids down as sleep fell upon her once again. Sesshomaru opened his eyes still confused as to why he had carried her into his room. He made the slightest movement and her eyes flickered open.
“Sesshomaru…” without anything more he kissed her red lips and she closed her eyes as the sweet taste of his lips met hers.
Hope you liked it sorry it was a bit off topic but then again it wasn't! I've just always wanted to try to write Sesshomaru falling in love with Rin! Plz tell me if you thought it came out good or not! Lata!
