Waiting For You
Chrysolite Heart
Ok, so this is a Sess/Kik fic for all of those who want to know and support the couple…or don't support the couple because then you might not want to read this. Anyhow so here's about the characters:
Kikyou: She is 22 years old and owns an orphanage. She decided to build up an orphanage because she was an orphan as a child. She is currently single. She likes working with kids and is often at her orphanage teaching the children new and interesting things other than the things their taught during their daily classes.
Sesshomaru: He's a single father with a young daughter named Rin. His wife died giving birth to Rin, although he's had many girlfriends Rin's never seemed to like any of them. He loves Rin very much. He's currently 25 years old.
Rin: She's Sesshomaru's daughter, she never knew her mother because she died giving birth to her. Rin's goal is to find a real mother and thinks she does when she stumbles across Kikyou. She's 7 years old.
"What are you going to teach us today, Kikyou?" a small group of young children asked a raven-haired young woman.
"What would you like to learn?" the woman, Kikyou, asked the children kindly.
"Oragami!"
"How to cook our favourite food!"
"About animals!"
"We can only learn one thing today," Kikyou said, hushing the children. The small group of children quieted down. "How about we learn to do some origami today?" Kikyou suggested. The group of children nodded.
"Can you teach me how to make a sailboat?" one boy asked, his name was Kohaku. Kikyou smiled.
"Of course I can, Kohaku," she replied to the young boy. Kikyou sat the children down at their desks and pulled out several colored sheets of paper, she handed each child 3 pieces. Kikyou returned the front of the room. She took in the view from the window beside her. The orphanage she owned was nestled nicely on a large property with green grass surrounding it and a playground in the back. The children were taught and treated well here, each of them had assigned chores and homework but they were never forced to do anything and were all fed well.
"Can we make a flower?" a young girl named Sayo piped up. Kikyou smiled warmly at the girl.
"Yes, yes we can," Kikyou said laughing. First she taught them to make a sailboat, once she had demonstrated how to do it she watched as the children took after her and folded their papers. Kohaku was the first one finished.
"Look, I did it!" Kohaku cried. Kikyou smiled.
"Yes, that's a very nice sailboat!" Kikyou exclaimed. The 8-year old boy grinned proudly.
"Would you like to give it a sail?" Kikyou asked, already folding a piece of paper into a small triangle and attaching it to a straw.
"Yes, please!" Kohaku said happily. Kikyou taped the sail onto the boat and admired it.
"It's very nice," she observed.
"I'm going to keep it forever," Kohaku decided. Kikyou smiled at the young naïve boy.
"I'm done too!" two girls cried, holding up their sailboats. Kikyou turned to them. It was Sayo and Kaede.
"Yes, you're both very clever," Kikyou told them warmly. They both smiled back at her. Kikyou paced around the room, looking at everyone's work. When they were all finished Kikyou decided to play a game with them. She organized them into small groups and then brought over a large, long bin of water.
"What are we going to do with that?" Kaede asked quizzically.
"We're going to have a sailboat race!" Kikyou replied. The children jumped up and down excitedly.
"My sailboat is going to be the fastest!"
"No, mine is!"
"No, mine's going to be the fastest!"
"I'm sure all your sailboats are going to be very fast," Kikyou assured them all. She set up a fan behind the large bin. She called up the first group and aligned their sailboats. Then she turned on the fan and the group watched as the boats floated to the other side. Kikyou wanted to laugh at the nervous expressions of the "contestants" and the excited expressions of the spectators.
"Mine won!" a young boy named Sota cried, picking up his wet boat.
"Congratulations," Kikyou said, clapping her hands enthusiastically.
"Can our group go next?" Kohaku asked eagerly. Kikyou smiled.
"Of course," Kikyou replied, taking his boat and the rest of his group's boats. She set them down as she had before and turned on the fan again. The children jumped up and down excitedly, watching the paper boats race across the bin.
"I won!" Sayo cried, reaching into the bin and grabbing her boat. She held it up triumphantly. Kikyou noticed Kohaku was a bit sad.
"What's wrong Kohaku, didn't you have fun?" Kikyou asked, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder. Kohaku turned to look at Kikyou.
"I wanted to win," he admitted, pouting.
"Maybe next time you'll win," Kikyou told him reassuringly. Kohaku paused for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
"Yeah, I'll win next time," he agreed happily, also picking up his boat. "Can we go sailing for real some time?" he asked. Kikyou blinked. The other children looked at her with hopeful expressions. She had to give in.
"Maybe I'll see if I can arrange that," she told them as their faces lit up. She continued to play with them for the rest of the afternoon until it came time for them to start their class. Kikyou turned to their teacher who was just walking into the classroom.
"Seems like they were having fun," the red haired woman observed. Kikyou laughed.
"I'm sure you can tell Ayame, anyhow they're still a little bit worked up so just give them a few moments to let them calm down," Kikyou replied. Ayame nodded.
"Sure thing, they always getting excited whenever you're around Kikyou, you have a way with kids," Ayame told her. Kikyou shrugged modestly.
"They say they want to go sailing some time," Kikyou mentioned.
"Oh?" Ayame asked, raising an eyebrow. "And let me guess, you said you would see if you could arrange it," Ayame guessed. Kikyou smiled.
"You know me too well," Kikyou said. "Anyway, I've got to go now," Ayame nodded.
"It's raining out, do you have an umbrella?" Ayame asked. Kikyou nodded. "Alright, we'll see you then!" Ayame said. She turned the children. "Say good-bye to Ms. Kikyou, kids!" she told them.
"Bye!" the children chorused. Kikyou turned and opened the door after she put on her jacket, a few wet rain drops hit her face and she opened her umbrella. Kikyou got into her car and started the engine, the memory of the children's happy faces still fresh in her mind. She drove slowly home, always one to be cautious she never drove too fast. When she reached her house she parked the car into her driveway. It was almost impossible to see from all the raindrops splattering all over the place but she had managed. She grabbed her umbrella and ran to her front porch, her key in hand when she gasped. There, at her door, sat a young girl who looked to be only about 6 or 7 years old shivering on her front door step.
"Oh my! Are you alright?" Kikyou cried, rushing towards the young girl. The girl looked up at her with cold, frightened brown eyes.
"I…" but before the girl could finish her sentence she toppled over with her eyes closed.
A/N
Good start to the chapter? I bet most of you can guess who the little girl is! Tell me what you thought! Oh, and just a little clarification, at the beginning Kikyou was in the orphanage playing with the kids during their break time. Ayame is the school teacher there. Ok? R&R please!
