Sessoumaru x OC
Chappy 1 – Never ending mourning
It was late that first day of August, when everything began. The last rays of sunlight shyly casting their warmth through the stained glass of the silent Inu Mausuleum, while a silent demon entered proudly admiring the tombs of his ancestors.
He had come from very far, just to be here in this doomed day, the day he had lost everything that made him respect and protect life. The day that made him who he was, the day that froze his heart...
- Jaken-sama, why does Sesshoumaru-sama is here? This place is strange... like if dead people live in there.
- Shut up, silly girl. Of course there are dead people in there, this is the Inu clan's burial grounds.
- Ohhhh. - the small girl looked at the classic wooden building, and took in all the little, intricate details carved on the wood. - But I thought Sesshoumaru-sama's chichiue was buried in another place...ouch! Ittai! - Jaken had smacked Rin on top of her head with his staff.
- Shut up, baka! Sesshoumaru-sama is here ... to see them. - the imp lowered his voice in the end of the sentence, as if he didn't wish his master could hear him. He looked to the sliding door, that separated the living world from the dead world, with a strange look of longing.
Rin nodded in understanding, questioning herself who was it that rested in such beautiful place. And who was it, that deserved Sesshomaru-sama's respect...
Only inside this walls, only in front of this stone tombs, he allowed himself to discard his emotionless mask to slip off.
In front of him were the two tombs that the great Dayoukai of the West, had come to pay a visit. He slowly lit the incense in one of the candles and respectefuly offered it to the souls of those who stood, encased in stone and wood, right in front of him...
- I can use it now. And I now understand, why you respected ningen the way you did. - Sesshoumaru confessed, while caressing the smooth white marble features, of one of the tombs. His usualy glacial golden eyes held a dreamy look, retrieving the memories of the conforting sensation of warmth gracing the face he was contemplating. - Although this Sesshomaru still thinks they are weak and overall useless, but they have what lacks us, spirit of sacrifice. You'd have loved Rin and Taro would not have to grow alone...
He stayed like that for a long time, a marble statue amongst the marble tombs, lost in his thoughts, lost in his memories. All his life, Sesshomaru had fought hard, to prove his father and himself that he was worthy of being the heir of the Western Lands, but he had lost so much, maybe too much just to be here standing in front of them as the Dayoukai of the Western Lands.
Sudddenly his sensitive ears heard a weak dragging noise, right behind the tomb he had been caressing moments ago.
When the dog demon caught sight of the source of that strange noise, his golden eyes got as big as two suns...
- Azumi?
Catching the toad youkai distracted, Rin sneaked into the mausoleum to see what the Inuyoukai, that she regarded has her father, was doing.
While she walked the discrete road, she sang and collected the prettiest flowers on sight. Rin wanted to give them to the people that "lived" there, and were so important to Sessoumaru-sama.
Little feet patted the tatami and slid the screendoors open, wonder swam the little brown pools that were Rin's eyes. She was not used to such beautiful things, besides the Western Palace, she took a red ribbon from her hair and bound the flowers together.
She saw who she was looking for, and ran as fast as her small legs allowed her but when she was about to glomp the aloof Inuyoukai, her eyes landed on the figure that laid right in front of him between two marble tombs.
- Is she a friend of Sesshoumaru-sama? Can I give her my flowers, is she alright? - Rin was electric with the strange woman that laid in the floor, right in front her "father".
Without showing any emotion, Sesshoumaru straightned his back and looking down once again with his golden questioning eyes, towards the strange woman that was laying in the marble floor, barked a clear order to the green youkai behind Rin.
- Bring her, Jaken.
The regal Daiyoukai turned around and stepped over the annoying toad, leaving Rin behind yapping and laughing.
- Rin is going to have a new friend! Rin is going to have a new friend! - the little girl repeated endlessly the same words.
- Shut up stupid girl! Why do I always have to get the annoying ningen... - Jaken cursed while walking towards the human his Master ordered him to take. But when is yellow eyes landed upon the body in the floor, they shot open almost threatening to jump out of his skull. - My Lady?! ... What's going on here?
