"I Think"
I awoke to find I was alone like always, he never stayed. I sighed to myself as I laid there listening to the rain. Why does he keep coming back?
Sesshomaru POV
I let the rain completely drench me; I was too consumed in thought to mind anyway. That was until I heard the only voice that could break my attention. Master Sesshomaru!
I looked to find Rin running towards me with a towel in her arms. "Here, she smiled. She gently placed the towel over my shoulders.
"You're soaking wet, why didn't you fly and just avoid the rain?" "I was in thought, but what are you doing up at this hour?" She shrugged her shoulders "I couldn't sleep, you left a few days ago and Kohaku is gone on a mission." I frowned and walked on into our home.
I hated making her unhappy. I went into my room, and slipped my kimono off and placed it by the fire to dry. I slipped my robe on and walked out to find Rin in what I guess would be considered a family room.
"Rin" She looked up and smiled "Lord Sesshomaru, I didn't hear you come in" "Do you have a minute?" I walked over and sat down next to her. "What is it Lord Sesshomaru?"
I studied her face for a moment. She was tired. "It can wait, why don't you go and get some rest."
"I can't sleep" She shrugged and looked down at her feet. She had done that since she was little, I didn't know how or why but the connection between Rin and I had become stronger.
"Is anything bothering you?" No, she yawned. "Are you unhappy?" I watched as her eyes grew large and shock over took her face. "No, why would you ask?"
"Just checking, now here. I opened my arms. Rin smiled and cuddled up into them just like she did when she was younger. "Lord Sesshomaru, I could never be unhappy here. I have everything I could ever want" "I just get lonely sometimes, that's all." I nodded my head, and wrapped my arms around her. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. I gently got up and laid her down. I placed my robe over her and returned back to my room.
Kagura's POV
The weather started to clear so I got up and gathered my things. He is such a mystery to me. He's so brave and bold. All those other times. I just don't get why he doesn't say what he wants. Why is now so different? He and I have both been around. This isn't his style. My whole life I've just been used, so it wasn't a surprise to me when things did happen. I just never expected him to do what he did for me. I owe him.
Flash Back
The flowers seemed to be dancing in the wind. I laughed to myself, there free, just like I always wanted to be.
And now my last moments are spent in here, as they mock me. I allowed my body to just fall back against the earth.
I remember seeing my blood stain the flowers around me before I closed my eyes, but then I sensed him.
He was standing over me with a sword drawn. I was barely able to open my mouth to whisper his name. "Sesshomaru?"
He knelt down and touched my face with his hand. It was like electricity flew through me. "You're barely alive"
Then his sword touched me and I felt the wound in my chest begin to close. I touched my chest where the hole should have been and it was completely closed, all that was there was torn clothes and dried blood.
"Why?" "I've never seen you show compassion to anyone." He glared at me with those piercing eyes of his, I felt as though he could read all the way into my soul. "Forget this ever happened" He stood and walked away from me.
It was plenty of years later when I found him again. I happened to spot him by the river. He was alone, so I landed.
He took my breath away; He stood in the river without his kimono or that huge furry thing he always wore.
I stood hidden behind a tree, trying to get the courage to walk over when he spoke.
"Kagura, I know your there, why don't you show yourself" I was shaking so hard.
"Ok kagura, you can do this I told myself" I managed to walk over and face him in the water. He locked eyes on me and then I froze. He starred for a moment and then spoke.
"You seem different now that Naraku is gone, almost happier."
"I am thank you" He reach out his hand and placed it on my face, just like before. He seemed to be studying me. He smiled, "Care to join me?"
I was taken aback, "Sure I replied." He lent in and gently wrapped his arms around my back and undid the bow that held my kimono together.
I was frozen now; I couldn't believe what was happening. My kimono started to fall open and he reach up and helped slide it off my shoulders and letting the water take it. He looked me over and smirked.
Then he dove into the water, I followed him. We swan for a while. I was barely paying attention to my surroundings; I was too mesmerized by his beauty. When suddenly he grabbed my hand and pointed up. We were in a cave with an opening.
When we reach the top, he gently picked me up. So I melted, I wanted to pinch myself to make sure this wasn't a dream.
"Where are we?" Before replying, he carried me to the shore.
"This is my personal fortress; No one has ever seen this before." "So, all of this is yours?" "Yes, the lake, the forest and even that cottage."
"It's beautiful here, why are you? But he stopped me, "shhh." He placed me on the ground. "Follow me." I followed him into the cottage. "Are you cold?" Completely dumb founded, I still managed a reply. "A little." "Alright, I'll be right back." "Make yourself at home."
It was beautiful in here, there was a small kitchen and the living room wasn't huge but it was defiantly roomy. I walked over to the sitting area when he returned.
"Here, sorry this is all I have." He handed me a dark blue robe, he was wearing a lighter one.
I slipped it on, the silk felt so smooth against my skin. He smiled as he watched me, then he bent over and tied the back for me.
Looking back up our eyes met, a whole new feeling came over me. He lent in closer, placed his hand on my face. I continued to just stare into his eyes, they were so captivating.
I took a deep breath and leaned in closer to him. He smiled and lent the rest of the way in. His lips touched mine, they felt so warm. I started to gently kiss him back, putting my arms around him. He pulled me in closer to where my body was on his. Our kiss quickly went from gentle to intense, his tongue danced across my lips looking for an entrance, I quickly responded, our tongues intertwined, our bodies where shaking and asking for more.
End flash back
I walked over to the window and lent against it, pondering our lives together and what all this meant.
Sesshomaru POV
I growled as I walked through the forest. I knew he was near I could smell him. I walked over to his coma toast body; he had snot bubbles coming from it.
"Jakin, What the hell are you doing?" the green imp jumped up.
"M'lord you scared me."
"As I said, what the hell are you doing?" The imps face went pale as he looked his master over.
"What else was I to do?" I glared at him. "Watching over Rin." "But m'lord, She is no longer a child and I am not her servant" As Jakin said this he put his head up in the air.
I lowered my body to his level and looked him in the eyes." "As long as she resides in my palace or has anything to do with me, you will watch over her"
Jakin was shaking. "Yes m'lord!" "Now get up and get back to palace" Jakin got up and ran back. I steadied my pace as I walked back.
Thinking of Rin. Her happiness meant more to me than my own. Maybe it was because her life was so short compared to mine. Her fragile human life. She had been brought back twice now, and I couldn't afford to lose her again.
I believe that's why I brought her here, to my palace. She would be safe here. I looked up to notice Kohaku flying above with Kirara. I guess I've grown used to him. I smiled to myself as I remembered the day she asked if they could join us.
Flash back
I was sitting outside my bedroom door, by some ragged fire. When she approached, "Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Yes Rin?" "I have something to ask you" I raised my eyebrows in shock; it was rare when she ever asked for anything.
"Yes" She lowered her head and a slight blush went across her face. "I was wondering if umm, somebody could join us. Here in our home?"
My face went blank; she wanted someone else to move in? "Who Rin?" Her face went redder as she spoke his name.
"Kohaku" She looked so helpless and innocent. The words slept through my mouth before I even knew what I was saying "That's fine" I quickly turned and continued to look into the fire.
"Oh thank you lord Sesshomaru, thank you!" She wrapped her arms around me in a hug and then ran off"
End flash back
I guess all I can say about my life now is, "What the hell have I gotten myself into."
