Chapter 1: Metamorphosis
Disclaimer: I do not know "InuYasha"
Pair (s): Rin X Sesshomaru for now.
Plot: Generic outline of Rin and her life with Sesshomaru.
(Rin's point of view)
The world is cold and I must find a warm place. The gardens are flourishing, yet the flowers need my help. They cannot survive without me. Then again by nature, I could have an affinity for plants, because I like to collect flowers and give them to him. He humbly accepts the flowers I give him. The flowers grow all over the land. Then one day, my curiosity almost got me killed. There was a flower that was pretty, but something in the way it smelled, made it stand out. Just one sniff and all my senses became weak. There was no one in sight, but a butterfly came by. Lying on the field of flowers I began to fall asleep. Then it become human. I was surprised to see one, because I have not seen a butterfly that could turn into a human. After looking at the person for a couple of seconds my vision became nebulous.
"Hello? Is anybody here?" Since no one appeared I walked around. Fully awake from my daze I noticed the room in which I was in.
The whole place was gargantuan, it was bigger than the room that I slept in at Lord Sesshomaru's place. There were no windows, but screen doors that lead to a ledge which over looked a garden. The garden was pretty, it looked like it stayed there for more than a century. I then notice that the screen doors where half open.
"Where am I?" I asked. No one answered my question again, yet there was a gust of wind that came and blew through my hair. The wind brought in different kind of scents I have not smelled before.
I then got up and began to walk from the ledge. It felt like days have gone by, but I did not know if it was true because there was no one in the building. The building looked more like a mansion bigger than the village where big sister Kagome lives in. While I was walking around the mansion I came across huge paintings on the wall. The people on them looked familiar. In a way they did not seem to be strangers to me. So I looked for the person who took care of me. There did not seem to be any servants present. The mansion was clean, to my surprise. I thought it would be best to look around and get use to the surroundings. If I did not find the owner I would go back to Lord Sesshomaru, immediately.
"Where are you going, young lady?" said a stranger, I knew not. It looked as if it took the stranger an operose will to just walk around the mansion.
"I am Rin, and I must go back to Lord Sesshomaru." Surprised that someone lives in this beautiful place.
"You do not look well. Please stay." He said it in a tone that could have challenged Lord Sesshomaru's cadence. The first thing I noticed were his eyes. The color was a contrast to Lord Sesshomaru's eyes.
"But I must return to him as soon as possible."
"You need not have to worry about that, you are safe. Nothing will harm you as long as you are within my domain."
End of Flashback
Now that I look back to my memories it was odd. Almost strange that this person would help me in my current situation, but when I look into those eyes, they seem really sad. The person looks really beautiful almost on par with Lord Sesshomaru. It was amazing, the person had an aura that I could not quite explain. I stayed as long as I needed to for the rest of time. So by the time I was ready to leave, someone was already here. It was Jaken. I said my thanks and good-byes to the person. I never did get the person's name in the end. I began to ponder on some things I never thought I would have remembered.
Now to the present. I am with Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Jaken. We are traveling to a place I have not gone to. The stranger keeps on popping up in my head now. I do not know if that was the same as our relationship. I have stayed with Lord Sesshomaru for a while now. I am in his debt. There is nothing that will tarnish our bond. By spending time with nature I am isolated from others because of him. There is only us in this land, but people come and visit. I some times visit big sister Kagome, who now lives in the village by the Bone Eater's well. It is the relentless tommyrot that summaries Jaken in a nut shell, when we travel around the land. Which is what we are doing now, at this moment.
"Lord Jaken, where are we going now?" I said with a boffo kind of jovial feeling to it.
"Shut your mouth! We are almost there." He has not changed a bit.
"Where do we meet Lord Sesshomaru?" I asked him with my nitid smile; with it I brought silence upon Jaken, in order to keep him from talking.
There are no subtle explanations to express what I am feeling now. I like traveling around and seeing different things is exciting. It is through Sesshomaru's demonic power that I am alive today. This world has a lot of demons in it. I am okay with this; I have Sesshomaru to protect me. Fate is unkind me, as it leads me down a road, which I cannot astray from.
