The Sword of Reversal
My first Sesshomaru and Rin Fan fiction
Chapter Two: Rin's Fighting Spirit
While Rin was nice and snug in her bed, Sesshomaru was fighting desperately to not only protect the sword, Kochiken but Rin. Even if it was for all the wrong reasons. He did take the time to kill her teacher and to make her life a living hell. Why not finish it? He already knew how he would kill her but it was just doing it. It seem very difficult for Sesshomaru but he knew he'll have her dealt with.
As he pierced into the body of a demon with his claws, he could feel the power of the sword, just a few feet away. That empowered Sesshomaru to keep fighting. Naraku was right about him. He did had to prove himself to these demons. Prove that he was better and he was the only one worthy of the sword. Sesshomaru went into a fury of destroying the demons one by one and soon the ground below became their graveyard.
"Having fun?" Someone said.
Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder and saw red eyes. Beautiful and yet Dangerous red eyes. Sesshomaru stopped what he was doing and looked into the eyes of his Ex. He wanted to strangled her but just like killing Rin, he hesitated as if waiting for the right time. There wasn't the right time in her case. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed.
"What are you doing here,Kagura?"
Kagura laughed. "But I'm not here..."
Sesshomaru blinked and Kagura disappeared before his eyes. Suddenly he felt someone's arms wrap around his neck and he could feel Kagura's body press into his back. It made him stand still.
"What do you want?" Sesshomaru noticed something was going on.
"Don't you remember the good times we had together. We were inseparable. Killing who ever got in our way. Just like a blink of an eye...don't you miss how 'we' used to do it?" Kagura whispered in his ear.
Sesshomaru fell silent.
"I know you miss it. You just don't want to admit. You remember what we used to have before you were obsessed over that stupid sword. Why don't you come back to me?" Kagura whispered again.
Yet, she struck a core. Bad and old memories. He was back to reality. He turned around facing Kagura and grabbing onto her neck. He began to choke her but it wasn't to the degree of killing her. He wanted to but he was holding back. He hated the fact he couldn't kill Kagura. He hated it, even though he wanted to do it so badly. He let go of her.
"Oh I remember. I remember your betrayal and don't think I'll ever forget..." Sesshomaru shouted at her.
Kagura glared at him and then shrugged. "You will if you know what's good for you...by the way...Shouldn't you be fighting off those demons? You seem very determined."
Sesshomaru turned away from her, remembering what he was doing. Sesshomaru watched as five demons was headed Rin's way and it was too late to stop them. All Sesshomaru knew was that Kagura distracted him. He couldn't worry about that now. Rin and Kochiken was in danger. He raced over to Rin's apartment as the demons crashed into it.
Rin's Apartment
Rin was woken up by a huge explosion. She leapt out of bed and went to investigate. The explosion sounded big and too close to home. When Rin entered into the living room. Her sleepy eyes opened wide as she looked at her living room totally trashed. It was as if World War III was going on. Rin was so scared, she didn't know what to do. Half her living room was ablaze and even more worse something was lying on the floor. It's blood made a puddle in the living room. Rin screamed.
"What's going on?" Rin said.
Rin then felt Kochiken calling her. That only happened when something really terrible was going to happen. Rin unfortunately received the same feeling when her father died. Rin hurriedly went to get Kochiken, she felt very safe with it and she knew it could get her through anything that may happen. Rin opened the closet down and began to reached into the closet for the trunk, when her right arm was grabbed. Large claws hands dug into her flesh, Rin screamed from pain. When she looked to who the claws belonged to, she screamed again. The demon was hideous. It looked like a Kappa mixed with a griffin.
Rin kicked at the demon and fell into the closet. Rin quickly reached for Kochiken but she could only touch the trunk before the demon grabbed her legs and began to drag her out of the closet. Rin eyes widen as she watched her last hope move farther and farther away from her.
"Kochi-!" Rin's feet touched the demon and the demon began to bleed. Rin felt as she was released and realized her screams were being drowned out by the demon's screams. When Rin's looked up, the demon's every pore was bleeding. Rin removed herself from the creature and hurriedly got to Kochiken. She opened the trunk and unsheathed the sword.
The sword began to glow a nice amber light as she held. Rin held the hilt tightly and Rin could feel the knowledge of the sword. Rin wasn't afraid anymore. She knew what she had to do. She had to fight to keep herself alive. She was Kochiken's keeper and she needed to act like it. She looked at the demon that was literally bleeding to death. She held the sword up and slashed the demon over his heart and his heart stopped beating.
"I just killed somebody..." Rin said realizing what she just did.
"And you'll be killing a lot more..." It was Sesshomaru and he had another creature's head in his hands. Although, he swore he smelled five but three was in his sights.
"Nomura-sensei? What are you doing here?" Rin said surprised and then she noticed his sword. "A sword? Did you come to help me?"
Sesshomaru glared at Rin, before he could reply he sensed the other two demons and they were very close. Sesshomaru moved towards Rin, when the fourth demon revealed itself and slammed into him. Making him crash through the window, carrying him down to the ground level. Rin's eyes widen.
"Crap!" She screamed and started running across broken glass to her front door. She sprung down the fifteenth flights to the ground level. Rin stepped on to the lobby but the Kochiken stopped her from moving. She listened and waited. Something had followed her downstairs. When she looked to the staircase, she saw a demon's shadow. "Double crap! What do I do?"
Rin decided to run for it. She ran out of her apartment building and saw Sesshomaru lying on the floor. He had bruises, cuts, gashes, slashes galore all over his body. Rin felt sorry for her teacher. She was still under the impression that Sesshomaru was trying to save her and now he was hurt badly for it. Rin felt the anger rose, the Kochiken fully fused with her and Rin was ready to take anyone on.
Rin heard an earth shattering roar from the lobby and a saw a demon charging at her. Rin turned to it, watching it come closer and closer. Close enough for Rin to slice it apart. As Kochiken ripped that demon to shreds, the more Rin was attracted to the demons, like Kochiken had attracted the demons in the first place. Rin saw some demons in the sky, just hovering above. Unconsciously, she pricked her finger on the blade of Kochiken.
"Death's Retributation!" Rin lifted her sword over her head and then slash the air with her blood decorating the blade. The slash turned into a large wave of crimson that tore into the horde of demons. Destroying anything it touched. All the demon's were destroyed in one swing.
"You handle the sword pretty well..."Someone said.
Rin jumped out her trance. She then looked to the side of her to see this weird looking guy. He had long black hair and red eyes. He gave off this weird energy that he wasn't safe and meant trouble. Kochiken began to pulsate it's wariness to Rin and Rin understood, she needed to be cautious.
"Who are you?" Rin said.
"I'm your friend, Rin Ukiya..." He said.
"How do you know my name? I didn't give it to you."
"Never mind about that. What you need to know now, is that you have a very heavy burden on your shoulders. Kochiken is a very wanted sword and everyone will try anything to get their hands on it. I'm just telling you be careful of who you trust, Ukiya-San."
Rin eyes soften a bit,the man was a threat to her yet but he was warning her. Rub looked back to the strange man and he disappeared. That was very odd and Rin had to admit she needed something to remember to keep her cautious. Rin looked to Sesshomaru and then when she turned back the strange man was gone. Rin sweat dropped.
"That was rude..." Rin said. She crouched down beside Sesshomaru. He was badly injured and her apartment was totally trashed. It was a mess. "What can I do now?"
"You can leave me alone..." Sesshomaru spoke and scared the heck out of Rin. She watched as Sesshomaru opened his amber eyes and started to sit up. He accomplished it and moved up to standing.
"You're okay." Rin said seeing Sesshomaru standing. "I'm glad..."
Sesshomaru ignored Rin and looked around. He didn't smell or sense any demons around. He didn't think they just disappeared and he knew they wouldn't. They wanted the sword as much as he did. Speaking of which he could sense Kochiken very close to him. He looked back at Rin and saw her holding it.
"Kochiken..." Sesshomaru said.
Rin frowned. "You know about the sword too?"
Sesshomaru nodded. "Of course..."
"Then your not really here to help me, are you? You want Kochiken too."
Sesshomaru looked to Rin with narrowed eyes. If he agree to it, Rin would surely attack him and even if he could stand the attack, that didn't mean he could fight. He was weak, very weak. He hadn't expect to be pounded into the ground by a demon from the eleventh floor. If he said no and if he played along with her, making her believe that he was a friend. He'll be even closer to the sword and be able to learn how to wield it. Sesshomaru turned his back on Rin.
"Is that how you show gratitude, Ukiya-San? I didn't have to come here." Sesshomaru said in his normal cold tone.
Rin smiled. Happy that someone else was on her side. Rin felt she needed a lot of allies. "Gomen, Nomura-Sensei. I shouldn't have spoken so lowly of you."
Sesshomaru was about to walk away when he was glomped from behind by Rin. Sesshomaru was taken off guard when Rin hugged him. He didn't know how to take it or what to do. Sesshomaru eyes were wide as if he saw a ghost. After, Rin let go of him ,Sesshomaru was going to tell Rin off when he saw that she was crying.
"Rin..." He said.
"I'm sorry..." Rin tried wiping her eyes feeling embarrassed. "You wasn't suppose to see that."
"Why are you crying?" Sesshomaru said crossing his arms over his stomach.
"It's silly. I'm just happy to be alive right now. I thought I was going to die..." Rin said and the tears ended.
"Rin!" Rin and Sesshomaru looked at Rin's Aunt as she saw the blood and chaos outside of her apartment building. "What happened?!"
"I'll explain..." Sesshomaru said.
"You better!" Her aunt marched up to the two. Sesshomaru had to come up with a superb alibi and he did. There was a huge gas explosion across for Rin's apartment and the blood was from the causalities. Even though it was kind of gruesome, her aunt believed it.
"Um..." Rin wanted to corrected him but when she looked to her aunt whom was half pissed and half upset...she didn't want to tell her some cock-and-bull story. How would she believe it.
"Well, Thank you for helping my Niece but I would really appreciate it, if she stayed with you."
"What?!" Rin and Sesshomaru said in unison.
"Well, since Sesshomaru came to your rescue when I could not. I think I trust him enough to take care of you for a little while. It's going to take time to find a new apartment and even longer to fix the one we already have. So I leave her in your care, Sesshomaru-San..." Rin's aunt said.
Rin was surprised. Her aunt was very protective of her and to allow a total stranger like Sesshomaru take care of her was too much for Rin to swallow or perhaps, her aunt really knew the truth. What she feared the most was not being able to protect Rin, when Kochiken attracted demons to it, it never faded. Rin's life would always be in danger and seeing that this man was still alive throughout the chaos, he was worthy. Rin didn't know how Sesshomaru would take it. Her friends said, that Sesshomaru hated her guts and Rin has noticed the harsh things he's done to her. Why would he want her to live with him if she annoyed him so much in class?
"That's alright...I'll just live with grandpa and grandma." Rin suggested.
"All right fine!" Sesshomaru said. "You just have to pay for her expenses. A teacher doesn't make that much you know..."
Rin's aunt nodded. "Of course, of course..."
Rin sweat dropped of how awkward the conversation sounded. 'Why does this sound like child prostitution?' Rin thought to herself.
