She stopped only for moment to study an odd, small lizard. "Jaken sama, can
I take it with me?" Rin's eyes were filled with hope, more so than usual.
"A mere lizard? You honestly think that a lizard is worthy of traveling
with the great Sesshomaru?" Jaken knew that Sesshomaru couldn't afford to
have Rin distracted, even something as trivial as a lizard could divert her
attention so much that she could find herself in more danger.
"Rin, put it down." Sesshomaru had noticed over time that Rin's need for
companionship was growing deeper during the past few months.
Rin looked up at him admiringly with her large brown eyes and inquisitive
smile, of course, he refused to make any eye contact. She noticed that his
notorious emotionless face carried a sadness and a sense of hopelessness.
His body was completely motionless, yet the rapid winds seemed to dance
vigorously with each strand of his long silver hair. Rin had never seen
this expression on his face, nor had she ever felt this uneasyness about
Sesshomaru.
"How long can she stay with me, how long can she keep up? How long until
she will leave me.?" Sesshomaru thought to himself. He looked down directly
into her innocent eyes. "Rin, did you get rid of the creature?"
Rin nodded, "Yes Sesshomaru." She thought it best not to
bother him, not today.
That night, Rin lay awake staring at the stars, trying to count them
to pass time. She thought about Sesshomaru, and when she first found him.
Suddenly, thoughts of her family began to meander through her mind. She
didn't remember much before Sesshomaru, he had become her whole world.
Visions of the wolves that had attacked her came flashing before her eyes.
Terrified, she began to shiver. She looked to where Sesshomaru was sitting,
he looked peaceful for the moment. She decided it was safe to approach him.
Still shaking, she tried to be quiet as she sat beside him. She then
crawled into his lap and sighed happily. He looked down at her, watching
her curl his fur around her tiny fingers. He remembered what she looked
like when she found him.beaten, cold and hungry. He couldn't understand how
someone could hurt such an innocent child. Just then he realized it,
somehow, a spark of humanity had found its way into his thoughts. He loved
her, and never wanted any harm to come to her, ever again.
