^_^ Sen-Chan
Rin reached down to fasten the satin ribbons around her small ankles. She once loved to dance, but now she hated the blasted shoes, she hated how pretty they looked, how seemingly harmless they were. She hated how her feet hurt after every preformance, how she had to work so hard to look pretty enough for her master, Naraku. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she realised he was behind her, running his rough fingers over her tender flesh, across the back of her neck and down her exposed shoulder. She felt tears rise in her eyes, but swallowed them quickly. "Will you dance pretty for us tonite, little Rin?" Naraku hissed into her ear, nipping it hard. She gasped, trying to pull away from the teeth grazing her skin. "Yes, master," she said softly, tying the ends of her pointe shoe ribbons in neat, practiced bows. He Pulle her hair out of the loose bun it was pulled up into, and commanded, "Leave your hair down." She nodded, and watched him exit as she applied rouge to her pale cheeks and lips. She knew she had to be absolutely stunning tonite, this night would provide an opportunity that she simply could not afford to blow away. The Lords of the Western Lands were visiting to make a peace treaty, which usually ended with the giving of a gift. She hoped, that perhaps, she would be the gift, if the Lord's requested it. She had heard that one of the lords, the youngest, was kind and often bought slaves for his wife, who often set them free and treated them as friends. She could only hope to be so lucky.
She peeked thru the curtain at the four men and two women sitting around the stage. She easily noticed her master and misstress, Naraku and Kagura, in a heated whisper conversation. She looked over to the other side to see 3 silver haired men, each with beautiful amber eyes. The one closest to her master seemed a bit grizzled, with fine lines running down his face, a stubble apearing across his strong jaw. Next to him had small dog ears on top of his pretty silver hair, and was talking abnormally loud. Next to him was who seemed to be his wife, a woman with long dark hair and a kind smile. The one on the end, well, he frightened and excited her. He looked like the grizzled one, with extremely long silver hair. he had twin magenta stripes across his high cheekbones, and a small cresent moon on his forehead. His eyes, though the same beautiful amber, lacked the warmth that the other two had. He also had an air of strict and regal pressence, which scared her silly. It was obvious that her master was trying to impress him. With an idle wve of his hand, he signaled the small group of mucisians next to the small stage to begin playing. She took a deep breath, pressing down her already flat and silky tresses, adjusting the barely there skirt to just cover her bottom. She came out from behind the curtain, pirrouetting and leaping and doing all manners of tricks all while remaining perfectly poised in those damned toeboxes.
"Your dancer is quite beautiful," the woman commented to Naraku. Rin felt her face flush. No one had ever called her beautiful.
"Why, thank you, Lady Kagome," Naraku thanked her, "And no, she is not for sale. I wish to keep this little gem in my pocket." The one with dog ears on his head looked at her master sharply.
"If my Kagome wants her, I will pay any amount. Money, as you know, is not an issue."
The woman leaned closer to him. "Inuyasha, if she isnt for sale, then we musnt push. Besides, I'm sure there is another one here that I will want."
Rin felt her breath catch in her throat. Naraku wasn't going to sell her. She failed, while thinking about this, to see the snag in the stage that caught the silk of her pointe shoe, ripping it and causeing her to fall into the regal one's lap. She immeadiately jumped off his lap, bowing low.
"Gomen, Gomen ne!!" she cried, bowing so low her entire face was pressed to the floor. Naruaku grabbed her by the back of her hair and pulled her from the ground.
"I am so sorry, Lord Sesshomaru, this wench will be dealt with immeadiately." he growled. Her eyes began to glaze with tears, she was really gonna get it now. T
he Lord, Sesshomaru, raised his hand and said in a gently baritone, "She merely fell. This Sesshomaru sees no need for you to punish her for a mistake. "
Naraku smiled a snake like smile, still holding tight to her hair.
"I understand, Lord Sesshomaru, but you see, Rin here is a very defiant slave and must be treated accordingly." He said, giving her head a shake, causing her to wince. Sesshomaru stood, casting both a very dull eye.
"Naraku, you have always been a terrible liar, so I will only ask you this once: Does this slave truely give you as much trouble as you claim? Choose your words wisely." he said emotionlessly. She felt the hand that gripped her hair tighten, if possible.
"Yes, she does, my lord. I wouldn't lie to you, dear cousin." he said with a beastly grin. Sesshomaru nodded slightly, and the shadow of a smirk played across his lips.
"I will buy her from you, and rid you of such a troublesome slave. Do not bother denying me, you will lose." he said. Rin's eyes widened. Did he really just buy her, despite the fact that her master claimed she was disobedient? Naraku bowed his head.
"Yes, dear cousin. She will be ready when you ftech her tommorow morning." Rin's heart sank. She was still trapped for another night here. Sesshomaru saw the small girl slump when Naraku said tommorow morning. He was wise to Naraku's ways, the girl would be half dead by morning. But, he could not save her completely, for risk of his pride.
"She will be...unspoiled. Understand?" Sesshomaru commanded thru slitted eyes. Naraku only hissed at his retreating back in response. He released his hold on her hair, dropping her to the ground.
"You are lucky, little Rin. Very lucky indeed."
