Roses have thorns Chapter 1
"He that plants thorns must never expect to gather roses."
Planted
"Where are we going Sesshomaru?" Rin waddled running toward him and Jaken. The road had become quiet as darkness peered over the valley, and they had been traveling for hours. Sesshomaru looked at her with stern dark eyes. "Rin, We're headed to a village in the east." Rin stared at the demon and gave a courteous nod. Following him closes without question as she usually did. The road ahead would not be easy for Rin was in for the day of her life.
It had been 3 years since the defeat of Naraku and they had for the past few years been maintaining Sesshomaru's vast land and kingdom. But the lord knew that their calling would soon end. For his mother was resigning as ruler and Sesshomaru was to take her place. He most certainly could not afford to take care of Rin anymore.
And he knew he had to let her go, he could not have a child in his midst as a ruler. It would be unwise and unfit, and absolutely inappropriate. And he and Jaken both agreed to this decision despite Jaken's upset position on the ruling. He was going to take her to the village where Kagome had hailed. He knew if Rin were to leave she most likely would go there. At least he thought so, and he really didnt like the idea of telling her before they reached their destination.
"Jaken, Rin, Lets stay here for the night." He stopped in his tracks then started walking again. "Jaken, start a fire...then follow me." Walking away. Jaken gave a small nod "Y-yes m'lord..." Jaken hurried along to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru facing the river, staring at the stars in their reflection. "Jaken... we are getting closer, we must make this a short and simple goodbye." Jaken nodded sadly and looked upon the ground. "We will take her there... say we will stay the night... and leave before she wakes that dawn." Jaken looked up in surprise and gawked.
"Bu-but m'lord!" He couldn't believe Sesshomaru could be so heartless. Well, maybe he could but not to Miss Rin... the girl who had been their companion for such a long time. Sesshomaru had shot him an evil glare... piping down the small kappa demon. "Yes, M'lord." With a humble low bow he headed back for camp to see a teary eye'd Rin sitting just in ears length.
"W-what...?!" Rin's usual carefree disposition left her eyes and pure betrayal sunk in. Her lord was going to abandon her?! "You... M'..." Rin turned to run. All she wanted to do was get away from this traitor. She couldn't believe the man she loved was going to give her away. Drop her off like un-wanted junk.
A weed in the midst of flowers.
"Are you just going to let her get away m'lord?!" Jaken squawked running around crazily. " Its none of my concern what Rin chooses to do anymore." Sesshomaru muttered coldly. "Let us go." They walked away heading back to the west. For Sesshomaru's lands, to his rightful palace.
Now as rin ran aimlessly through the woods, crying, wanting anything BUT to be back in that horrid village with her Lord.
"YOU ARE NOT MY LORD ANYMORE YOU TRAITOR!" She shouted. Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks, then picked right back up to his pace.
He knew that leaving her would have not been pleasant. He had not, however, realized how much. And for some reason it disturbed him thoroughly.
Rin gave a pant, weeping a little more. Pushing past thick brush and falling forward into a pile of dead thorns. A loud scream of inner turmoil and outer wounds...
I loved you, I fell in love with you.
But I never got to tell you.
How this feels to not be with you.
even for this short hour or two.
My heart beats only for you.
But now there isn't time for rue...
My heart now only cries for you.
I hate you, I fell to hate you
How this burns, my hate for you.
Even for this minute or two.
My heart still longs for you.
Smoke from a great village close by, a rich guarded village with beautiful buildings and ornate temples, Dojo's and an onsen. In the castled that fortresses the village was room, incense lit and tea served. Two beautiful kimono clad women stand guard a shoji screens with red gold and black lacquers. A rich, powerful village. The ninja village of Ja-shuen.
"Go my son, go to find the weapon of shirako." An older male in grey hakama ordered in a loud clear voice. "Last night you're sister senior lost her blade in a great battle with the snake demon hebisuke." The voice was so powerful but quiet it was something that rang in you're head for minutes after spoken.
"Go to the valley of thorns, find Hebisuke, kill his mate. Avenge you're sisters great injury. And bring back her blade."
A pound of his fist on the floor sounded, his voice making the room quake the two women jolting. The younger ninja in front of him not moving a smudge.
"Yes master." With that a cloud of smoke and the younger male in his presence disappeared.
Jumping branch to branch towards the valley of thorns, were the souls of beautiful maidens haunt any man who lay foot on its grounds.
The man made charge through the branches a foot, stopping in his tracks he saw something writhing, whimpering in his midst.
A young maiden with large 3 inch thorns pushed all throughout her small body. One that was right through her arm and even one through her foot. He watched in awe at the young beauty who was badly injured. She gave a loud cry as voices from the vines of thorns crept around her.
"Girl, your heart wreaks of malice and anger. For whom do you hold such discontent?" The womans dark and tainted voice sounded as Rin squealed in pain that sounded of anger.
"Sesshomaru, For humans... for men!" Rin said squirming in agony. The thorns formed a woman's silhouette, a grin on her dark face. "Fear not my child, you are never to fear... for now you are one with my wrath. For you pain and suffering I will give you the gift of immortality. For you will cease age at 18... And you will be one with earth always. I give my life energy to you... for I am cursed to this valley. My soul is yours."
"For one price."
"W-what?" Rin trembled.
"You're first born, if it is male, it will die. All the male you birth will die."
"...and lastly, you must kill whom you hate most... this Sesshomaru."
"I accept you're terms!"
Rin shouted and the earth started to shake. The thorns from the ground ripped up from its roots the giant mile wide lady of thorns were shooting straight into her chest at rapid speed. A purple energy emitting from her chest. The ninja staring at awe, as he saw the weapon of his sister shoot up, floating in the sky.
Rin pulling through, she looked just like herself except for two vine-like etches on each side of her face. The naginata landing in her hands. As she hit the ground on her own two feet.
The ninja, had never seen a sight in his entire life. The woman was perfectly healed and standing there, the valley of thorns eliminated. Her eyes still brown, however a ring of green wrapped around her iris.
"Woman of thorns... or do you hail to another name." Stood the ninja, despite his usual strategy made himself visible.
"I am Rin." He stared at her with perplexity and confusion.
Rin noticed the changes to her body quickly, her ears had lengthened and her skin was somehow paler, tougher.
"This Rin wishes to know who you are."
The Ninja, clad in head to toe with black fabric. His only features noticeable being his eyes. "I'm Tadaaki of the ninja village Ja-Shuen..." He held back his rank, for strategic purposes. He was no fool.
"This Rin, was once human. And was tricked by a deceitful demon lord. I seek to defeat him in battle with this new life."
She stepped forward taking a bow on all fours. "This Rin is Immortal, But I seek a place to stay, and train." She lowered her head. The ninja came up to her and placed a hand on her head.
"How old are you girl?"
"I am but 14 in years"
A strong dark silence as the sun rose gently over the horizon.
"I will take you in, but you must train with me... it is law in our village for when we take in an outsider. The tenant is the trainer."
Rin bowed low with her hands in front of her. Sitting up and staring at the sun, her new sight allowing her to stare straight into its depths.
She smiled a smile her fangs poking out. "I will find this quite interesting"
The sun rose and Sesshomaru at that moment felt Rin's presence leave the earth. Her scent dissipating, gone. His eyes widen in pure surprise as the pure pain of reality hit him. Rin was no more.
Jaken looked at him in pure shock. "Wh-what is it m'lord?"
"It seems that Rin, has perished."
He kept walking, walking as if the sunlight would burn at his touch. Walking towards the dark west, were the stars had still shone.
"Pathetic Human." He muttered, as he inwardly cursed leaving her. Already missing her, it was just so much.
"Seems life is just not interesting anymore."
