Table's turn
Summary: Sesshoumaru is wounded, not a wound that bleeds but a wound that has made him no more than a mere human, because it has snatched all his powers. Rin, cant bear her lords dismay and despite his better judgment runs to seek for his cure……..read on to see the events unfold………….Sessh X Rin
Point to be noted: unlike most of the fics here, in this story, Rin is not the pretty, well kept, flower smelling girl who always smells beautiful. Come on, how can a girl who lives with two demons, who doesn't know even the tiniest bit about women, who travels day and night through the forest, who has never seen the face of soap or shampoo be so perfect?? Thus, this Rin is different and more natural but she is still innocent and worships her lord and loves the world she lives in.
Rin's Age: 17 and a half
Sesshoumaro's age: pretty old I guess but still as handsome as ever :D
Disclaimer: I don't own this anime……..like duhh!
Sesshomaro sat in the shade of the old birches, a secluded corner of the forest, his hide out when he needed some time to himself. Not that any one ever dared to disturb the great lord, but whenever he was with Rin or Jaken some how or the other he got distracted either by Jaken and Rin's continuous bickering or by their incessant attempts to please him.
He looked at his body, from outside no difference could be detected but he could feel it. It was as if his power was slowly seeping out. What was happening, no wait why it was happening to him. He had survived for centuries on this earth but never had he felt so weak. Was it a poison that he had drunk or the venom of a demon? No, such minor things could never have affected him, so then what was it?
Blood. Blood had always been the cause of the very few problems that he had encountered in his life and blood too has been the answer to those problems. Had his half blooded brother done anything to him? He did not know but he resolved to find out.
Rin hanged from branch to branch like she had seen those wild monkeys do. She was not as quick as they were and it badly scratched her hand but she still liked doing it, it was something she could do and Jaken couldn't and every time he told her to get down from that goddamn branch she smirked at him and told him that he said so cause he was jealous of her talent and that Sesshomaru was more impressed by her than him.
Though this spring was going to be her eighteenth spring she still was a child in her heart. Not that she did not comprehend every thing that happened around, in fact, she was more matured than most girls of her age who were brought up in a proper society. She understood herself, could tend to her own wounds as well as her own problems, she was aware of her attraction towards her lord but she also realized how it was improper for a great demon like lord Sesshomaru to mate with a human, be it her or any other human girl. She understood both demon and human mating rituals thanks to Jaken and lord Sesshomaru though the idea kind of grossed her out because she would never mate a human and neither would she mate any demon other than lord Sesshomaru but what really separated her for the others was her acceptance of her fate and her ability to take actions according to the situation.
However as already mentioned, she was a child at her heart. She had a natural sense of humour, she loved to play in the woods, she loved teasing Jaken and most important of all she was innocent. She hardly even knew the meaning of lying or disloyalty because over the years she had become quite an obedient and decent human under lord Sesshomaru's influence, she never dared to lie to her lord and she hardly ever talked to any one else and whatever she did Jaken always found it out so she did not lie to him either and betrayal to her only friends were out of the question.
Rin jumped from the branch and landed hard on the ground scratching her knees right behind the unaware Jaken, who, caught off guard emitted a loud screech.
"Since when have You grown afraid of Rin master Jaken? She grinned.
Jaken looked at her with blood shot eyes and tried to hit her with his stick but she dodged and before long the two were running in circles, Jaken cursing her with all the worst curses he knew and Rin taunting him every time he missed.
Suddenly Rin stopped in her track and turned to face Jaken causing his tiny frame to bump into her.
"Say master Jaken, where is lord Sesshomaru?" she inquired, her eyes confused.
Jaken scratched his head. "He told me he was going to bring us some food but I don't know why he isn't here yet"
"Talking about food my stomach's growling, I am hungry" Rin said.
"Me too" Jaken replied and with that, the too sat on the ground waiting for their lord to arrive.
Lord Sesshomaru stood up, his long silver hair played with the winds. He had to leave now, but for some reason he did not want Rin or Jaken to know about his weakness and so he decided on not taking them. But before his departure he had to make sure of their safety and mostly he did not want Rin to get harmed who was most prone to danger now that she was a grown girl.
He whistled in the air thrice and not long after his third whistle Ah-un stood at his foot. He whispered something in their ear and then told them to leave. As they left towards the sky, he sighed. He felt a strange feeling, as if a longing for his two companions even though he knew that they would now be safe. He dismissed this feeling within him as another of his weak nesses.
Thus the great lord started his journey to seek for his brother, Inu Yasha.
I would upload soon, there is a lot more to come……..please read and review.
