Chapter 2- Under the same star
'What should I do now? I am alone, I don't like this. Sesshomaru-sama left me completely alone. And still I don't understand why."
Rin was walking along a road.
"I need food and housing."
A group of three girls who were also traveling saw Rin.
"Are you alone?" one of the women asked Rin.
"Alone? Yes I am."
"Then would you like to travel with us?"
"Sure."
"We are going to the village near the mountains, what about you?"
"I go further then that but we can travel together until there."
They walked all the day and stopped at a temple to spend the night.
The girls were preparing to go to sleep; just Rin was outside on the terrace looking at the stars.
"What's with he?" one of the girls asked looking at Rin.
"I don't know, she was depressed all the day."
"She didn't even eat."
"I go to talk with her. You stay here pretended to be asleep."
The girl went outside near Rin.
"I can't sleep. May I join you?"
"Sure." Rin said without looking at her.
After a moment of quiet:
"You seemed to be very depressed. Did something happened?" the girl said
"Not really…"
"Com on you don't fool anybody. Can I try to guess?"
"If you want…"
"Let's see, reading on your face is man trouble, am I right?"
"Yes…"
"Then if a man is at fourth the reason you're so sad could be unfulfilled love, did I guess?"
"Yes."
"Well that isn't a motive to be that sad. Look at you, you're so pretty. A lot of men would want to take you as their wife. Don't worry that much you'll find another one who'll love you."
"I don't want another one. Nobody can replace him."
"Why?"
"He is…special."
"What could be that special at a human?"
"He isn't human."
"Do you mean you are in love with a demon?!" the girl asked surprised.
"Yes."
"How does he look like?"
"I don't know how to describe him…"
"Can you draw?"
"Yes."
The girl gave Rin a piece of paper and a pencil. Rin made the exact ported of Sesshomaru and gave it to the girl.
"He really is handsome. I think that now I know why you felt in love with him."
"I don't love him because of that."
"Because he is…himself. He take care of me and is caring with me, I mean he was…"
"I'll live you alone now. Good night." The girl said and left.
"Alone?" Rin whispered. "I think I must accustom with this word, "alone"…"
Rin looked at the sky and taught: 'I wonder how you, Sesshomaru-sama, are. Are you still injured? And what did I done to make you so angry at me? Something is strange; I don't remember exactly what I did that day…'
Far away from where Rin was, a demon is watching the same star as her.
'Why did you betray me, Rin? Why?'
'Lord Sesshomaru isn't asleep already?' Jaken thought. 'I don't understand him at all. Why didn't he kill Rin after she betrayed us? Normally he would kill anyone who would betray him. I can't understand at all…'
'Why couldn't I kill her?' Sesshomaru thought. 'When I saw her coming I wanted to kill her immediately, but I couldn't. Why? Is not like I didn't killed humans before and I wasn't scared. But then why couldn't I kill her? I don't know why but I wonder how she is and why did she betrayed me.'
