Wish Upon A Demon

Chapter 2: Accepting

(Re Cap)

"Rin ... what happened?" his voice managed.

He lowered his sword from her, and her face slowly went from fear to confusion. She really had no clue of her appearance. But he could tell she realized something was different. There before the grand demon lord, was his once innocent, human companion, now his damned, demonic, follower.

(Present)

Rin had woken up from one of the many great dreams she had been having. Her demon lord was embracing her in his arms, one hand stroking the back of her head, planting butterfly kisses on her forehead. He was constantly telling her that she was perfect. Every part of her was flawless, nothing needed changing. But alas, everything good, must come to an end. She sat up, using her arm to hold her up, and rubbed her eye. She hated ruining such a wonder dream, but reality was better, knowing that he was real and not just a fantasy. Though the love words weren't spoken, it was nice if he just merely talked to her.

Her eyes fluttered open, the first to see was her favorite demon, but something was wrong. The sword usually pointed at their enemies, was now pointed at her. Was her fantasy ending? He was leaving her? What had she done wrong. He then lowered his sword and looked at her with a sudden mixture of worry and concern, that quickly vanished to his blank expression.

Was something wrong with her? Now that she was focused, she did notice something different. Her body felt much stronger and more energetic. And her sense of smell was unbelievable. She could smell the mixtures of the winds, the rotting smell of the hut was more overwhelming, better yet, she could smell the musky scent of her lord. She breathed in deeply, taking it in. It was wonderful.

She looked down ... and saw her hands. Yes! When her hand was curled and she rubbed her eyes, something was poking at her palm. Her ... Her nails were longer than usual. No. They weren't nails, they were claws. 'This isn't right!' she thought. 'None of this makes sense! What happened to me!'She began panicking, she could feel the pressure being built up, begging for release. She looked at at Sesshoumaru, and had already sheathed his sword and was just standing there with a expression she couldn't figure out ... she screamed.

She screamed as loud as she could, wrapping her arms over her head, she screamed. She felt two lumps and her eyes opened wide, her screaming stopped with a gasp. She felt them again, trying to mold the feeling, they were ears! She heard the rustling of her hair with them, they were actually her ears! She searched for her human ears and found nothing, her face drenched in horror.

She hunched over, gripping her sides, screaming and crying, she smelt the salty liquid escape her eyes. Her navy blue bangs fell before her, clouding her vision, it only made her more afraid. What else was changed! She didn't want to know. It was too much, she didn't like it. And she passed out, giving in to the swarming darkness. The last thing she felt were two strong arms catching her before colliding with the ground.

"But what could have caused such a thing?" a squawky voice questioned.

There was no response so it spoke again. "I mean, maybe it was something she ate. Then again, I never knew of such plant that had such a power to do this, especially not around here. Maybe a possesion?"

"Jaken. Be Quiet." a cold voice demanded.

Rin was slowly regaining consciousness, her head was spinning when she managed to sit up. She blinked a few times and things cleared up. Before her stood a frozen Jaken and a dazed Sesshoumaru sitting on a tree branch, his gaze out in the sky. Things started sinking into her brain as she remembered what had happened to her this morning. She hoped with all her heart that it was just a dream, and it had never happened.

She reached above her head and grasped it. It was no dream, it happened and she had an animal ear on her head. Trying to remain calm, she gathered herself and stood up. Sesshoumaru looked at her, asking with his eyes if she was okay. It was something they starting using a few years ago when he didn't feel like voicing out his concern. Rin thought it was sort of sweet, in a way.

She gave him a weak smile, assuring that she was okay, but not fully understanding it all. With an elegant leap, he was soon next to her. "Follow me."

"Should I come too, m'lord?" questioned Jaken. When Sesshoumaru shot him a cold look, he took it as a no and slumped himself next to Ah-Uh, who were watching the two leave.

Rin silently walked behind Sesshoumaru, her head bowed. Those thoughts of being left behind were coming into her mind for every step she took away from the camp site. 'This is it, isn't it? My final time of having his presence near me. Will he just abandon me in the forest? Will he take me to some sort of demon village?' She looked behind her and saw her navy blue tail sway gently behind her. She supposed she was a cat demon now. Her ears tweaked at the thought, she probably looked just like her lord's half-brother. Maybe that was the reason he was going to get rid of her, she looked like Inuyasha, the very person whom he despised. An overwhelming sadness fell upon her, and her ears went down.

Sesshoumaru sensed that she was distressed, and looked behind him to look at her, never stopping. Rin felt eyes upon her, and she looked up, meeting his deep golden gaze. She perked up, smiling, giving false information she was fine. Sesshoumaru knew every lie she made, but had always pretended to believe to satisfy her. When Sesshoumaru looked ahead of him, Rin went back to her sadness.

They had reached a different river then the forest cleared, and he had stopped.

"What are we doing here, m'lord?" questioned Rin, already knowing the answer. He was going to leave her.

"Look at yourself in the river. You deserve to see yourself with out such an audience," he turned around and was about to head back into the forest when Rin called out to him.

"Your leaving me?" Rin asked, sadness drenching the words to their core.

"Of course," he replied, not knowing exactly what she meant.

"I'm so sorry Lord Sesshoumaru! I'm sorry that I look like Inuyasha! I didn't ask to become this way, nor did I wish it! I only wanted to stay with you! My only wish was to stay by your side for as long as I lived, but I never imagined something like this to happen. If I ever did anything else wrong, I am sorry! Please don't leave me!" she exclaimed, tears rolling down her flushed cheeks. Sesshoumaru was surprised at her sudden outburst. He was going to be back to get her like usual, she knows that.

The sadness in her eyes then told it all. She was worried that because she was different, he would leave her. He sighed inwardly and walked back to her. "You lied to me Rin."

She sniffled and looked up at her lord, whose face was inches from hers, in confusion. "What are you talking about Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"When I asked if you were alright, you pretended that you were okay. Rin, it is unpleasant when you lie to me, you know that. Now, tell me the truth." Though he already knew it from her eyes,he thought it be best if she let it out.

"Well, this morning, when you drew your sword at me, I thought you grew tired of me, like I troubled you so much. I know I did, so I tried to be less of a burden, but after that, I realized I didn't try hard enough. But then, when I stared at my hands, I saw the real reason. I was a demon. And from what I could make out, I looked very similar to Inuyasha. I thought because of that, you would get rid of me. And now, you are." Rin looked down, in total shame for lying in the first place and for somehow becoming what she was. This brought tears tumbling down her cheeks again.

"This is exactly why you should tell the truth," his emotionless voice replied, and carefully wiped her tears. "The reason my sword was at you was because I thought a demon was in there with you. Turns out you were the demon." She looked up at him, understanding now. "Now why would I get rid of you after all these years, just because your now a demon? It is your choice if you wish to leave."

"I do not want to," Rin said, her eyes pleading.

"Then I won't force you. Just be truthful for now on," he said firmly.

Rin smiled, "Hai!" When Sesshoumaru was about to walk away she called to him again, "Um, Lord Sesshoumaru." He stopped, turning his torso while his feet stayed planted to the ground. She looked down, slightly embarrassed, "Will you stay with me." He nodded and found a tree to rest under, watching her turn and head towards the river.

As she approached the flowing water, she made sure not to look in the water. She knelt before it, her eyes closed, waiting until she was ready. Some part of her was sort of thrilled at the sudden change, like when Kagome would bring gifts during the snowy season, as she called it, Christmas. But this gift was a part of her, she would probably never be released from it.

Taking in a steady breath, she opened her eyes.

In the reflection staring back at her, her light-purple eyes shined bright at her, her pupils slitted. It was sort of frightening, but she would have to get over it. Her hair was turned a dark navy blue, slightly longer and wilder, and atop her head were two fuzzy cat ears. She reached to touch them, and giggled when they twitched from the ticklish feeling. She was feeling better now, thinking of the positives. The smile from her laughter revealed pearly white canines in her mouth. Running her tongue over them, she examined their sharpness, and they were sharp. She knew she would make her tongue bleed of she were to bite it accidentally.

Sesshoumaru was watching her very intently, observing her every reaction, in case she would panic again. At first, she was worried, then was confident, then happy, and she soon started giggling. He almost smiled, even chuckled, when she examined her teeth. She started making all sorts of faces, making the best of the situation.

His gaze went to the sky. How could this have happened? He found this particularly ... weird ever since last night, when he was thinking about all this. Rin becoming a demon was once in his thoughts and now in his sight, it was ... disturbing.

Sesshoumaru was never one to make wishes on shooting stars, prayers, or wishing wells. That was so long ago, back when he was a kid, he made it seem like it never happened. His mother was an alcoholic and lost her temper easily, leading to fights with his father. How he would wish on those nights while his curled on his bed, covering his sensitive ears, blocking out the screams and threats coming from outside his room.

He was so caught up in all this, he didn't even notice Rin standing in front of him.

"Lord Sesshoumaru?" she questioned.

His eyes flickered to hers, his stare still unknowingly intense, and responded in a some what harsh tone, "Are you finished?"

She flinched at his attitude, but slowly replied, "Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru" And bowed.

His intensity dimmed and he want back to his blank face once he noticed. He rose to his feet and looked back at their camp. To make her feel better, he spoke softly to her, "Go fetch Jaken and tell him we're leaving."

It worked and she back to her happy self, "Hai, m'lord!" and she merrily skipped off.

'I wonder what was wrong with Lord Sesshoumaru. Was his thinking about me? What used to be me? Is he really going to consider leaving me ...' Rin gasped and stopped in her tracks. Was this a trick!? Was he going to run off and have Jaken follow later while she frantically ran after. The worse came back to flood her head when she remembered what he told her earlier. 'Get a grip Rin!' she demanded herself. 'Lord Sesshoumaru will be there as long as you say so, he promised, and he never lies!'

"Rin?"

She turned and found the tai-youkai staring at her. Her eyes widened and bowed quickly, "Sorry m'lord! I will go fetch Jaken!" She straightened out and ran quickly back.

She was surprised to find how fast she was now, and was soon back at the camp quicker than she wanted. She wanted to feel the breeze, the rush. The demon girl looked for the toad and found him kicking dirt over the camp fire. "Jaken," she started, "Lord Sesshoumaru says it's time to go."

He tried to think of something mean to say back to her ... but there was nothing. The news was simple. And she was no longer a filthy human. He grew mad and didn't respond back. The toad waddled his way in the direction of his lord. Rin gripped Ah-Un's reins and pulled him along. She smiled, giggled a little, and hummed a pleasant tune.

UBERLY sorry for making this so short. I wanted to get SOMETHING out so you guys don't think I've left this story. Hopefully it was enough to satisfy for now. I have the themes for the next two chapters, which is why I probably cut this short for them. I think the other chapters will come to me along the way. :) See you soon!
