Finished this yesterday night. Was going to sleep, actually, then suddenly thought of how to continue. Sesshomaru-sama, you have made me lose sleep over you. But it's okay. Once again, Inuyasha is not mine. But I still want Sesshomaru-sama. Rin is so lucky, ugh.
He finally reached. In the withering fields, he could practically smell the pure demonic power. He clutched his sword and smirked.
"I see, Bakusaiga. You crave for that power as well. When Dakki becomes one with you, you shall be completed," He held the pulsing sword by his side.
Meanwhile, the jittery Jaken was chattering in fear. Besides the immense evil power he had felt, he saw his Sesshomaru-sama's smile, which was equally as frightening as the evil aura, if not more. He struggled to open his mouth, which felt like steel.
"Sessh… Ssssesshomaru-sama, I know you can conquer it! Jaken shall stay here to cheer you on, my lord!" Jaken laughed weakly.
"Nonsense. You are coming," With that, a rock was flung to Jaken's head. The imp flew to the direction they had come from and ran back meekly. He scoffed. The imp was all talk but no action. If he did not force him to come, how would the imp have the courage to stay by Rin and protect her when her lord was away? He narrowed his eyes at that stray thought. Brushing it aside, he focused on the goal which brought him here. Drawing Bakusaiga, he sensed the foul stench in the air. So that was the holder of the sword. The owner was literally controlled by Dakki. Worthless human.
When the human appeared, he stared at the vulgar thing that stood in front of him. It should be easy to take down the filthy lowlife.
Just then, the human spoke.
"I see. Dakki is drawn to this power. How ill-fitting is it to be placed in the hands of this pretty boy? Dakki craves for your sword. Submit it to me before I ruin your pretty face and end your life!" The human cackled and pointed Dakki at him.
"Oh! How dare you, insolent mutt you are, to threaten Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru-sama, we must end his life for spouting such nonsense!" Jaken cried out in anger. He only glanced at the human without interest.
"How stupid are you? But then again, you are human, so that alone explains everything. You don't even know that you're possessed by the sword itself," He tightened his grip on Bakusaiga. Then, he ran to the human. It was easier to kill him, for he had been beyond repair. The human's soul was already eaten by Dakki. In one strike, he dismembered the human. However, the hand remained stuck with the sword. As Jaken cheered for his victory, he, Sesshomaru, destroyed Dakki with Bakusaiga. The sword then dissolved into Bakusaiga, decorating Bakusaiga with the same dragon-scaled pattern as Tetsusaiga.
"That was easy, Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken said proudly. To him, Sesshomaru-sama was nothing but powerful stealth and beauty. Even as he fought, his lord had always managed to maintain a graceful and beautiful posture. After all, he was of royal birth.
He ignored Jaken and started flying back. Now that the sword was complete, he had to prepare for Rin to come back to his side. Well, if she wanted to, that was. He didn't want to force her, much as he would miss her company. He unwilling admitted that journeys without Rin was indeed bland. It was adorable to hear her constant chatter and songs about him. She was the only one who was allowed to sing about him. If it were Jaken, he would have pelted him with numerous stones. Partially because Rin was better in singing. But it was also because Rin's voice assured him that she was safe.
He felt the strange tugging at his heart whenever he thought of Rin. It only started a year before, when Rin attempted to grab his hand and tour around the village she lived in. He had pulled his hand back, and after claiming he was busy, had flew away from her because of her brashness. Or rather, it was that tugging that made him run.
Yes, he, the ultimate demon, ran away from a teenage girl he raised when she was young. He narrowed his eyes in displeasure. He hated acting like a coward. But why did he run, then? It was only Rin, a girl he took as a daughter-like figure.
Without realizing, he had come back to the village. Deciding to check upon her before he left, he stood in the forest while watching her sit in the grass, picking flowers and singing to herself. Unknowingly, he smiled gently. Then he frowned. He never smiled unless it was something that amused him, such as the insolence of the human he had previously killed. Turning back, he planned to find Jaken when he was stopped by the familiar song.
"yama no naka,
mori no naka,
kaze no naka,
yume no naka.
Sesshomaru-sama doko ni iru?
Jaken-sama wo shita naete.
Watashi ha hitori de machimashou,
Sesshomaru-sama omodori wo."
He gasped upon hearing it. The tune rang in his ears and the memories came rushing back. He lowered his lids and turned back.
He walked to her.
"Sesshomaru-sama! What brings you here?" Rin laughed. It sounded like bells in his ears. He knelt down to her height and put his hand on her face. She patted his hand and smiled brightly. He stood up and held out his hand.
Widening her eyes, she came back to her senses and clutched her Sesshomaru-sama's hand. She felt like a child, even thought she was already 15. Granted, she was so much shorter than her lord, but it was the fact that he made her feel safe was the reason why she felt childlike. She liked being protected by her lord. Was, still is, and still would be. Perhaps it was because he would do anything to protect her. He went after Naraku because her life was threatened. He cared for her. He was beautiful. He was very kind, even though Jaken-sama had wailed because he had never seen that side. And he was extremely strong. She was proud that she was this important to him. It did not take a fool to see that.
Without knowing, she swung his hand about and laughed to herself. All those worries that Sesshomaru-sama had abandoned her were stupid. She would be with him forever. When he looked at her skeptically, she blushed and spoke.
"Sesshomaru-sama, are you bringing Rin out? Would you please bring Rin out? Someday, perhaps? If you are not too busy, that is," She amended hastily.
He looked at her and simply said, "We fly." She grabbed his mokomoko and flew with him. When they reached, Rin once again came back to the beautiful stretch of meadow in front of her. She gasped in surprise and beamed. He just stared back at her, but he was pleased to see her smile because of one small meadow.
She ran around and began picking flowers. He sat there, watching her having fun. He'd picked the meadow because her family were buried there. She must have missed them. He waited for her patiently while she played around and finished informing her family of her life. Even without super hearing, he could hear his name being religiously-like mentioned of countless times. She was a foolish little girl indeed.
When she finished, she sat in front of him and looked at him. He felt stuffy all of a sudden. Inconspicuously, he averted his gaze from her.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Rin is extremely thankful to you, for you appeared in Rin's life! Rin really likes you very much, for Sesshomaru-sama is kind, suave and protects Rin every time she is in danger! Sesshomaru-sama, do you like Rin as well? " Her eyes twinkled. He looked at the sky.
"Baka no koto," He replied. But he was pleased.
The moment stopped when Jaken came, all dizzy from finding Sesshomaru. Rin squealed in delight and began chattering her head off to Jaken. It was humorous to see that even though many years had passed, Rin was still the same child he saw and saved, and it would never go away.
Note: Did really try hard to express what I saw for Sess/Rin, because Sesshomaru's like a father-but-not-a-father-but-he-loves-Rin-in-that-way-so-you-understand? Because I don't even know what I know anymore. But enjoy, and do review if you like! Thank you for reading, to whoever's reading this out there.
