"Sesshomaru; The Youkai Who Loved For the First Time"
Author's note: This is my first time writing a story, but not the first time imagining :P I hope you'll like it.
Chapter 1: The Odd Silence
"Rin, we must go now." A voice from behind a very large tree said.
Rin knew who it was without even seeing the face of the stranger and was very glad that he was back. He was gone for almost a week.
"Yes, my Lord" she replied with a tone of excitement in her voice. She got up and took the leash of A-un "Let's go A-un" then trailed after Sesshomaru. Jaken followed as usual.
It was very early in the morning and the sun hasn't rise yet. It was still very dark.
It was very quiet and Rin felt very awkward, and so did Jaken. It was very odd, they both knew that Sesshomaru barely talks or chats and barely says anything, but this time something about him was different.
Rin couldn't take it anymore.
"Where are we going my lord?" she finally said.
"you fool! You should never question Lord Sessho--" Jaken said, but was cut off by the sudden reply of Sesshomaru.
He stopped in his tracks and said, "We are going to find Naraku".
"YAH! we are going to fin--" he trailed off. What? Jaken was startled with the answer he had given a human girl. And he was also shocked with his statement. We are going to find Sesshomaru? What does he mean by WE. Jaken was very confused.
"Who's this Naraku person my lord" Rin asked with total curiosity.
"It is none of you business you incompetent human girl!!" Jaken shouted behind her, but obviously Rin was not paying attention.
Sesshomaru said nothing. And so it was back to the odd silence. Rin looked up at Sesshomaru. She was hoping that she could catch his eye, but it never happened. He just looked forward. Not glancing to his right nor left. Not even looking back. He was thinking about something.
What could it be? Rin wondered as she blindly kicked a rock as she walked in the darkness.
They walked quietly and solemnly. Jaken did not dare to ask why sesshomaru had told Rin about Naraku, for he knew what kind of trouble he can get himself into. And so, he ignored it.
All they could hear was the rustling of the leaves getting crushed underneath them and the birds flying overhead. Also, they sun is beginning to come up
Suddenly, a big gush of wind came and it made Rin shrieked. But Sesshomaru never looked at her.
Is something wrong with my lord, she asked herself. She thought very hard about what made him act like this.
Sesshomaru kept walking on, like he was traveling alone. Rin thought if something was bugging him. But she knew that she would get no answer even if she asked, so she just kept quiet and kept walking, actually more of running, for Sesshomaru was very far ahead.
It was almost nightfall and Rin's stomach started growling. It had almost been the whole day and she hasn't eaten anything yet. She kept on walking, not looking up, when she bumped into Sesshomaru.
"Oh.. I'm sorry. I did not see you stop my lord" she said very wearily.
He, finally, looked at Rin with his cold and bored eyes. "Are you hungry Rin?" Sesshomaru asked very dully.
"I.. Well.." she stuttered. She blushed a little bit when Sesshomaru finally looked at her.
"Ye.. Y.. Yes my lord" she finally blurted out.
"This place is not safe for you to go wandering about.. You will have to wait a little longer until I say that it is safe." he said with concern.
Rin managed to break a smile. She was very happy that Sesshomaru finally said something, but was not contented, because she wanted to find out what's been on his mind all this time.
Afterwards, they continued on with their journey. It was now, night and Rin was feeling very sleepy. She was walking very slowly and she looked really slump.
"Hey! Can you walk a little faster?" Jaken asked irritably.
"Huh?.. what?.. I.. Uh huh" she nodded. "A-un?, is it okay if I sleep on your back?" she asked the two-headed dragon. The dragon just nodded, which indicated that she can.
Sesshomaru noticed that Rin had fallen asleep. He murmured something to himself, in a very subtle way.
They had reached a very small but peaceful village. Jaken was wondering what they are doing here.
What are we doing in this disgusting place? He asked himself.
Jaken took the leash from the hands of the sleeping Rin and led the dragon after Sesshomaru. He was running, trying to catch up with Sesshomaru.
He stopped behind him, trying to take a hold of his breath. "What are we doing in here, milord?" he asked.
"Is Rin still asleep?" he asked blankly.
"Uh.. Yes.. Yes my lord, she is." he said pacing.
"Jaken, try not to wake her up. Or else, Im going to have to kill you." he said threateningly.
Jaken swallowed hard then said "ye... yeshh. Yes.. my lord"
They kept on walking until they were inside the village. Everyone seemed to be asleep, so they kept walking until they had reached what seemed to be the center of the village.
The place was not very bad. It looks like demons had never been in this place. There were some houses, but not too many. There were stables where farm animals where kept, and a river close by.
