Chapter 5: Sesshomaru's promise and Flowers petals

 

The next morning was bright and warm. On flower petals were drops of dew that shone in the light. Sakura woke up when someone burst into her room as flood. It was Rin. That little girl jumped right on Sakura's bed and hugged her tightly. Sakura was far too surprised when she felt the tiny arms around her waist.

 

„How do you feel, Sakura-sama? Are you alright?“ Rin looked at her little hesitate when she added.

 

„Do you want to play with Rin?“ she asked Sakura with hope in her voice. Sakura started laugh. This time was her laugh full and happy.

 

„Or course I want to play with you, Rin. But first I must get up. So, can you let me go?“ Rin immediately took her hand back from her. Sakura was sure that she can't play with Rin in a night kimono, but she remembered that her own dress was ruin by Kurama. As if Rin could read her mind, she took Sakura's hand and led her to a huge wardrobe.

 

„Sesshomaru-sama told Rin, that you can use them if you want.“ She pointed on a dark blue kimono. „This one will be look wonderful on you!“ She cried excitedly. Sakura was more sceptical.

 

“Do you really think so? I'm not a princess, Rin!”

 

“You are the most prettiest lady in the whole word. You can't wear anything ordinary.” She told her with childish conviction. Sakura just shook her head and started changing. When she was done Rin admiringly sighed. The long kimono fit perfectly. Sakura was tall and slim and her beautiful curves were pointed out by dark cloth and silver obi wrapped around her waist. Sakura looked at herself in a huge mirror. She must admit that she preferred a different type of clothes and still she had the feeling this kimono wasn't determined for her. In that moment walked into her room Sesshomaru.

 

The girls didn't notice him until one of his hands lightly touched Sakura's shoulder. She jumped in surprise and turned around. The way her hair flew around her head was overwhelming and for a moment the time stopped. The only thing that Sesshomaru could saw was Sakura.

 

“Rin, I told you that Sakura needs more rest. Why are you here then?” asked the lord of the western lands when he took his eyes from Sakura's face. Rin looked at him, but Sakura spoke first.

 

“Please don't blame Rin, Sesshomaru-sama. I feel fine and I don't think I could sleep anymore. Besides, outside is too beautiful weather for being in a bed!”

 

Sesshomaru was looking at her for a while and then nodded. The tall girl silently breathed out in relieves. She didn't want to make the demon lord angry. Not at the small child who looked so happy in his presence.

 

“Before you and Rin go, I have something what you should know. Come with me.” He turned and walked out off room. Sakura was in a hurry after him, her bare feet silently whispered on a wooden floor. She didn't doubt about this order. In her heart appeared a little hope that she will return to her home soon. When they reached a library, Sesshomaru let her go in and closed the door behind her. Many windows illuminated the whole room and Sakura gasped when she looked around. She had never seen so many books and scrolls. For a moment she deeply regretted that she didn't know a demon language.

 

“Wow!” she breathed out in amaze. Sesshomaru allowed to himself a little smile. It didn't matter because Sakura stood before him and couldn't see it.

 

“It's sufficient.” He agreed in cool voice. Sakura turned to him, her eyes wide and bright from his answer.

 

“Sufficient? It's amazing. What are these books about? History? Geography? Some kind of reports? Come on, Sesshomaru-sama, tell me please!”

 

She reminded him Rin so much that he almost chuckled. She stood before him almost jumping on her feet, eager for his answer.

 

~Just like Rin.~

 

“Everything. It's library of my family.” He told her like if it was obvious and no important. Sakura frowned at this dry explanation but didn't say anything. Sesshomaru offered her an arm and when she accepted it he lead her to the table. When Sakura sat down, Sesshomaru gave her an old scroll. Little confused, Sakura opened it and recognized Japanese. Actually it was kind of diary. Silently she started read more and more confused. After a last word she put the scroll off, her face pale and shocked.

 

“Well, it's quite hard to believe. This is really wild idea. So, you think that I'm from the future?”

 

“Yes. It's high probability. As the scroll says, your case already happened. But….”

 

“The girl was killed by your father when he found out the truth about her.” Sakura finished the rest of his sentence. When she looked at Sesshomaru, her eyes were shinning with intense sadness and pain.

 

“So, what you will do? Will you kill me or help me?” The sweet voice of her was now bitter and full of tears. Slowly, Sesshomaru reached his arm and took her small hand to his own. Sakura blinked and let him to hold her hand. The clawed fingers were carefully wrapped around hers and she was surprised how comforting this simple gesture was.

 

“Have you some idea, how to get me back home?” she asked him quietly after a few moments.

 

“No, not yet, but you have a promise of the lord Sesshomaru, that you will get back home.” Honest in his voice surprised him self, but he meant it seriously.

 

“I guess that Rin will be searching for you in this moment.”

 

Sakura smiled at him and - before he could do something - kissed his hand in pure gratefulness. Then she bowed and ran from the library. The lord of the western lands sat silently behind his table. Ha had to firmly close his eyes. Inside his chest burned something what he had never felt before. Something warm and painful at the same time.

 

~Who are you, Sakura?~

-----------------------------------------------

 

“This is pretty, Rin!!” the taller of the girls pointed at a bush of blue flowers which lightly smell like menthol.

 

“What do you think, Rin? Will Sesshomaru-sama like it?” she asked with a smile to a little child. Rin happily nodded and started pick them up. Sakura watched her, smiling for herself. The sun was highly on the sky and she started be tired. Sakura's fever was definitely gone, but her body wasn't recovered yet. Near be them was a huge oak tree. Its beautiful leaves shinned with green under the sun and strong branched offered cool shadow. Sakura sat down between raised roots and let her body relax. From her place she had good view at Rin.

 

~She is so full of live. I'm tired only by watching her.~ Sakura chuckle. ~How someone so small can be so energetic. Maybe it's because I'm tired, but still, she is so cute.~ When the tiredness took control over her body she fell asleep. Rin stopped to pick up flowers and turned to Sakura. She grinned and slowly walked to a sleepy girl.

 

~Sakura-sama looks so pretty. I wish she could stay here forever. But maybe she will! It would be wonderful. We would play, sing and go for a walk together. I'm sure that Sesshomaru-sama would be happy too. I'm sure he likes her.~

 

Rin jumped when someone touched her shoulder. Above her was Kurama with a light smile on his face. She frowned.

 

“You scared me!” she told him reproachfully. He smirked at her and then his eyes moved to Sakura. Rin could see how he stunned.

 

Kurama's POV:

 

~Kuronue, if you could see her now. I saw many beautiful things, but she is the greatest treasure that I have ever seen. This reminds me the morning after I shared bed with her. She looks so angelical.~

 

I turned to Rin who was silently watching me. I swore this girl gave me a creep sometimes.

 

“Rin,” I told her with a fake smile, “you should go back to the castle and find Jaken.” I notice that she didn't looked enthusiastically by this idea. She through at me a one frowned look and did as I wanted. When that girl was finally gone I turned back to Sakura. She didn't wake up so,…..

 

Sakura's POV:

 

When I awoke, Rin wasn't with me. First I thought that she was bored and went back to the castle. The next thing, which I noticed, was a fact that my body was covered in flowers. Flower petals, to be correct. I didn't remember such beautiful roses in gardens where Rin took me, but now their petals were all over me. I had never seen such beautiful red colour. It almost looked like the petals were dipped in blood. I felt sorry for such wonderful flowers. I always thought that roses looked the best when they were alive.

 

The smell from roses was so full. I felt my eyelids started closing again. It would be so easy to fall asleep again. I put my hand on my stomach and then I cried in pain. I looked at my hand, which was scrawled all over the palm. I was watching the drops of blood slowly appearing on my skin. At least one rose was with a stalk. I stood up and shake out the petals that were on me. The rose that scratched my palm was too beautiful to let it here. I deeply inhale its scent and smiled. Simply amazing.

 

~I must find Rin and thanked her for it. That flower really cheered me up.~

 

Normal POV:

 

When Sakura reached the door she saw Rin. That little girl was talking with Kurama. It must be important because Rin had serious face and her forehead was frowned. By the other hand Kurama seems to have problems stay calm. Sakura started laugh. Both of them turned to her. Kurama with annoyed expressions, which was replaced something almost soft when he noticed who was laughing. Rin through her arms around Sakura's waist and happily smiled at her. The older girl smiled down and stroked hair of the little one.

 

“Sakura-sama, where did you get such a pretty rose?” asked Rin with huge eyes. Sakura was speechless.

 

~I was sure that it was Rin! But if wasn't, then who?~

 

“Rin, is there such roses in gardens?”

 

“Sesshomaru-sama has many pretty roses, but not so pretty.” Her face grew darker when she said something under her breath what Sakura didn't hear.

 

“What did you say right now, Rin?”

 

“Uhm, nothing. Can we go play again, Sakura-sama?” She dragged the confused girl for her hand and ran to the garden.

--------------------------------

 

In the dark room, Kurama was sitting on the floor, deeply in his thoughts. For him, everything was upside down. Everything, what he thought that he knew. Everything, what he thought that he really cared for. Nothing was same like before. One simple girl changed everything.

 

~Why did I give her that rose anyway? I thing I wanted to surprise her. That rose suits her. Oh Kami-sama, it hurts so much. It hurts so much every time I looked at her. I would do everything to have here.~

 

It hurt him to see her.

 

It hurt him to hear her voice.

 

It hurt him to know he cause her pain.

 

It hurt him to know she couldn't forgive him.

 

Kurama clenched his fists and lowly growled in self-disgust. It surprised him how jealous he felt that Rin could touch her so easily. How easily she took her away from him.

 

~You are driving me crazy, Sakura. My congratulation. You are first.~
