Thinking it over; I suppose getting into this man's car. Wasn't the smartest idea, but it was too late now. There I was, sitting in the passenger's seat next to him. He hadn't said anything to me besides stating his name. 'Sesshomaru' what a weird name. Who am I to judge though? Rin wasn't a very unique name. Perhaps weird names were better.
I slowly shifted my gaze from the window, to him. He was so concentrated; his eyes never left the road for a second. It was impressive. However the silence was a bit unnerving. I was so used to screaming children or yapping adults…..soundlessness was unsettling for me.
"So…where are you taking me?" I asked, furrowing my brows. He had yet to actually explain himself. Hopefully he wasn't going to murder me. That wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
"I thought that would be obvious" he spoke emotionlessly. "We're headed to my home"
"Oh" I replied, leaning back in my seat. Something told me he wasn't very fond of chatting. I doubted I'd get an answer better than that. After a while of endless driving, Sesshomaru Parked in front of a large house. Not only was it big, it had an old Japanese style to it. It was beautiful. It must have been expensive too; my guess was that this man had butt loads of money. Lucky guy.
"You can get out"
I jumped as he suddenly spoke; I wasn't used to this guy talking. Seemed kind of rare. "R-Right"
I could feel the warm sunlight hit my skin as I exited the vehicle. Summer was approaching quickly. The sound of cicadas could be heard close by. It made me feel a bit nostalgic. When I lived with my parents, I could always hear the cry of Cicadas by my bedroom window. It was a good memory.
"This way" the white haired man spoke. Gesturing for me to follow him. I hesitated but followed him towards the door. He unlocked it and then we entered.
"Wow" the inside was beautiful, just like the outside; the inside had an old Japanese style to it. Frankly I loved it, but then... I've always loved old styled houses and places. I must have been born in the wrong time.
"LORD SESSHOMARU, welcome home. Where did you go?! you left me behind again! that's so hurtful" A loud, very irritating voice, echoed, followed by the sound of small feet running along the wooden floors. I was a bit surprised that someone else was here; Sesshomaru seemed like someone who'd live alone. I guess I misjudged him.
"Jaken, stop running and quiet down. You're being an annoyance" the emotionless man, sighed. Instantly the footsteps became much slower. "My Apologies milord, I was just worried. You didn't say anything before leaving" with that, the other entered the room. I was pretty curious to see who this person was.
"My, it smells like human in here….how unpleasant I-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH, WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Whoever this other resident of the house was. He wasn't human that was for sure.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, WHY IS A HUMAN HERE?"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH, YOUR FROG-PET THING IS BROKEN!"
"I AM NOT A FROG NOR A PET, HOW DARE YOU!"
"WHY IS IT TALKING?"
"Enough of that" Sesshomaru's voice cut in. From the expression on his face, he wasn't happy. I wasn't either, why did he have some weird, deformed talking animal in his house!
I was seriously freaking out.
"Milord. Why? who is this girl!...do you know how dangerous it is to bring a human here?" the green creature nagged.
"Jaken, this girl shall be living with us from now on"
Wait, what?
He didn't say anything about me living with him. Though I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised. I mean. He did take me from an orphanage.
"Excuse me for saying this but, YOU'RE CRAZY. Why would you do something like this?"
"I don't have to explain myself to you, now calm yourself before you worsen my mood"
The thingy, instantly stopped talking but glared daggers at me. God….he's so ugly.
"Can I have an explanation at least?" I asked, staring at the tall man.
A small smirk appeared on Sesshomaru's face. It was the first sign of emotion I'd seen from him. "What would you like to know?"
"Well" I began "For starters, what's that thing?" I pointed towards 'Jaken' "And why did you bring me here? I don't understand"
"That 'Thing' is Jaken, he's somewhat of a servant to me, and you're clearly confused about his appearance. So I'll explain. He's a demon."
A demon! You're kidding me right?
"A….demon?"
"Is there something you don't understand?"
"D-Demons aren't real, it's illogical"
"Is that so?" He paused, raising a brow at me.
"Y-Yeah, they're only in books and in fake TV shows!"
"That's what you think?" he gently grabbed my chin, lifting it so I was looking directly into his golden eyes. "Then you won't believe that; I too am a demon"
He's nuts, I was kidnapped by a psychopath that thinks he's a demon. Now I understand why he brought me here, he's going to sacrifice me to Satan. Lovely. I never pictured my death like this!
"Uh, okay" I pulled my face away from his grasp. "I'm just gonna go home. It was nice visiting with you!"
BAM.
Within seconds the door was slammed. This man was really quick.
"You won't be leaving, so why not make yourself comfortable?" I could tell he was getting angry. Making a crazy person angry wasn't a good thing.
"Uh..Okay, okay but uhm…you still haven't told me why you've brought me here"
A light chuckle escaped his lips as he turned to face me. "I've been meaning to find someone who could care for this house. You seemed like someone worth using" Did he just say he wanted me to be his maid?
I wouldn't be doing that, nope!
I cleaned up enough while in the orphanage. I wasn't going to dust anymore shelves!
"Why don't you make HIM do it?" I frowned, gesturing towards Jaken.
"I DO, take care of the house Milord am I not good enough?"
"You're not"
"SO CRUEL"
"You can't keep me here" I glared "I could call the police on you. This is kidnapping, if you don't let me leave, you'll regret it!
"Where will you go, back to that dirty Orphanage?"
"Yeah, I only have to stay there one more year and then I'll be able to do what I want!"
"You're better off here and besides. I won't allow you to leave."
"You can find another housekeeper or whatever it is you want, I'm not interested"
"If you were to stay here, you'd be able to go to school"
"Huh?"
"You were homeschooled once you went to live at the Orphanage correct?"
How the hell would he know that?
Not all orphanages homeschool children.
"Well, yeah…"
"There's a school nearby you could attend, perhaps you'd make a friend"
It was odd that he wanted me to stay so badly, he'd be able to get a housekeeper no problem. He was attractive so it wouldn't be hard for him to find someone who was interested. I mean, they'd leave after hearing the whole demon story, but that was his problem.
"Milord, you don't need such a rude human roaming around in here. She'd stink up everything." Jaken interrupted. Giving me a cocky look. Little bastard.
"I do NOT stink!"
"Yes, you do. Humans always smell terrible. It's for that best that you leave!"
"Oh yeah, well you're hideous, you deformed frog!"
"I AM A DEMON"
"You know what?" A smile slowly crept a long my face.
"I will stay, thank you Sesshomaru for inviting me"
"WHAT, YOU LITTLE WENCH"
Sure, this was completely insane, however I couldn't stand that creatures attitude. I'd stay just to mess with him. I could always escape during the night if things get too weird.
"Glad to hear that you'll be staying with us"
Chapter END, I'll update soon.
Thank you for the reviews, favs and follows. That means a lot to me. There IS more to Sesshy wanting Rin to stay. You'll find out in the near futureeeee haha.
