Yah! Next chapter!!!
The sun rose slowly over the horizon, casting a warm, red-orange glow over everything. Rin opened her eyes and blinked in the bright light of the sun.
"Ah...I...had a wonderful dream..." Rin mumbled to herself. Jaken stirred next to her.
"Wat?" Jaken grumbled in his half sleep. Rin didn't hear him. She was looking over Ah-Un at the sunrise that had lit up the country side around them. More importantly was that she was looking at her master, Sesshomaru. He was looking over the hills into the sun, unblinking in his deep thought. She thought that he looked even more majestic than usual in the mornings light. Rin shifted around to get a better look and noticed that her hand was clenched around something. Her dream flooded into her mind with extraordinary clarity. When she opened her hand it was a small pebble that seemed to glow with an internal flame of a piercing red color. She awed at its beauty and marveled at its strangeness. There was something about it that made everything important seem closer to her heart. Rin clutched it in her hand and got up quickly, making Jaken fall over noisily and yelp with shock. Running over to Sesshomaru, she felt like everything was going to get better.
"Master Sesshomaru! I have a present for you!" Rin smiled brightly up at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked down at the girl and her outstretched hand. When he saw it, something shot threw his spine. It seemed to drag up feelings that he had suppressed for so long he had forgotten that they had ever existed. Hate for his Fathers betrayal, love for his country that would soon bow down to him as King, and fear for his life when their castle had been attacked as a child. Without thinking Sesshomaru took the stone from Rin's hand and watched it shimmer and glow in his palm. Finally works came to his lips.
"Rin. Where did you get this?" The words were choked with long held emotions. Rin looked a little confused, for she didn't quite know herself.
"Well, I got it from a dream." Rin blushed slightly, unable to give him a better answer. Sesshomaru clutched it in his hand.
"And who, in your dream, gave it to you?" Rin thought for a moment.
"I'm not sure. She didn't say what her name was. But, she had glasses on and her hair was long and in pig tails. She was very pretty." She looked up at Sesshomaru waiting for his response.
"Thank you, Rin. I believe it is time to move on now. Wake Jaken." Ah-Un stirred at the sound of their masters voice and stood. Jaken fell off, having fallen asleep again.
"What Rin!!" Jaken jumped up and looks around, realizing that they were moving again he scampers to catch up with the group. "Oh! Where are we going my Lord?" Sesshomaru didn't answer and Jaken put his head down in defeat.
Songo awoke to find that her surroundings had much improved. There were piles upon piles of books stacked and shelved all around her. Every way she turned she found books of all kinds. There seemed to be no door at all. She was now tied tightly to a chair with strong ropes and the candle glowed brightly on a table near by. What was stranger than her new surroundings was that her wounds from the heavy chains were completely healed and her suit repaired.
"Are you feeling better?" A woman peered over Songo's shoulder, having made no sound on her approach.
"Oh, yes." Songo stared up at the woman who peered down at her through her spectacles.
"Thats good. I was beginning to wonder if Mehino was getting too carried away in there. Men. Can't keep it in there pants. Although, it is fun to watch when two of them get together..." She trails off, still over looking Songo. After a long silence she looked Songo in the eyes again. "I am in need of your assistance."
"Assistance? Why me?" The woman took out a cigarette on a long filter.
"You possess something that I need. Trust me, I'm not going to steal your sole or anything ridiculous like all those other demons are thinking will make them stronger. I simply believe that by having you here it will help me in my endeavor to discover my purpose." Songo looked into the womans eyes, a little confused.
"What is your name?" The woman puffed a bit of smoke.
"My name is Hoshi."
Until Next Time!! Love!!
