Chapter 3
Change
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR ANY OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!
Rin's POV
She did not expect him to react the way he did. She knew preferred to maintain his cold facade only responding in his typical "hn". That was the most she had ever heard him talk. For that matter, since he came back he was acting a bit strange… and changed.
I know he cares about me… but as to heal my wounds like that! In front of them!
She shivered as she remembered the intimate contact that had been shared, her fingers tracing the scar that was left behind. Her face turned a slight shade of pink remembering how his hands had snaked around her waist, how he pulled her against him, how she wanted to feel more of him…
Her face, red as a beet now, was open to being read easily, if he was anywhere near her hut, he would have easily scented where her emotions and probably figured out where her thoughts had been…
A squawking noise in the corner of the room startled her. She looked over to the source of the noise.
"Poor Jaken-sama…"
The little toad like demon was squirming in his sleep, no doubt, dreaming of a thrashing he received in the past. Rin definitely admired him, the way he followed her Lord, but sometimes she too wanted to thrash him. Her mind wandered to the incident that led to the poor imp's state of being battered and bruised worse than any injury before…
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had already been fighting the moment Jaken arrived. Rin was already cleared from the warzone. By the looks of it, Inuyasha was dodging most of the attacks, only taking the chances to merely cut through the air, not even attempting to touch Sesshomaru. Together with Rin and the others, Jaken watched as Ah-Un sat beside Rin, trying to get her attention.
"Stupid Dragon… Trying to get that little human to watch you, she doesn't deserve it" he huffed under his breath, masking his feelings that were similar to the Dragon's. Rin had not noticed their arrival as her soul was completely fixated on the ensuing battle. Sesshomaru's eyes, once red with the green pupils, remained a permanent fixture as he battled on, together with the striped on his cheeks looking more ragged than before. Rin knew what would happen if they continued the fight, he would transform and Inuyasha would be seriously wounded.
"Heh, that Hanyou is no match for Sesshomaru! Get him Lord Sesshomaru! Bite his little head off! That's right!"
"Jaken-sama shut it! They're fighting because of me… I caused this…" Rin replied, the guilt grabbing her heart, twisting it in revenge.
"Don't be conceited you silly child, it's not about you, but milord's honour has been insulted," he huffed at her response.
Lord Sesshomaru fighting over her… As if he would meddle in a lowly human affair…
Jaken continued to cheer his Lord on, throwing unheeded advice thinking he had some choice in the outcome of the fight.
Rin not being able to take it, filled her lungs with air, as much as they could hold and then shouted:
"STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU STOP IT!"
At that instant Sesshomaru had ceased immediately, turning to look at her, Inuyasha mimed him, a few yards away. Sesshomaru's eye returned to their original honey golden colour, regarding her curiously. He could feel the worry and hurt rolling off her in waves. He seemed to have calmed down, with Inuyasha taking the opportunity to interrogate him. Jaken's babbling drowned out their conversation.
"Foolish child! Who do you think you are to command Lord Sesshomaru like that? You little weak hum-"
Just as he was about to complete his sentence, an arrow from heaven shot to the earth, landed on Jaken's head effectively burying him a few feet in the dirt. Inuyasha's mate ran towards where it had landed, followed by Sango and Miroku. Reading the conditions aloud, Jaken managed to struggle out of the hole he was in, looking like an escaped victim of a hunt gone wrong.
"L-o-r-d S-e-s-s-h-o-m-a-r-u…" the words hiccupped out of his mouth, but as the imp continued to struggle towards his Lord, Ah-Un took a step forward and stomped on him, earning a squeal from the imp that was covered with his clawed front paw.
….
Rin's mind flashed to the present where she continued to watch Jaken thrash on the straw mat. She could not bear to wake him because he needed rest. The events of the day unfolded and her mind raced to the conversation she had with Kagome earlier that evening. She had liked the plan, but was worried how the heavenly ordered challenge would affect Sesshomaru. Her Fluffy-sama. She giggled at the name Kagome had secretly given him during their many conversations about him, during the years she spent in the village.
I wonder what Lord Sesshomaru would do if he heard that name… he'd probably have a fit in his head and then "hn"...
She giggled thinking about all the possible reactions he would have to his new name, not realising how far she had wandered from her house. She hardly ever got to spend time like this, alone, looking up at the stars and the moon. She knew the way back easily. She sat cross legged on the grass, then feeling the pull of the earth; she stretched out her legs and lay flat on her back, earning a full view of the stars. She began to sing in a whisper tone, the little song she composed while waiting for Sesshomaru:
yama no naka
mori no naka
kaze no naka
yume no naka…
Sesshomaru-sama doko ni iru
Jakken-sama wo shita naete…
Rin, startled she had forgotten about the imp, shot up from the grass, adjusting her kimono, began to walk briskly towards her house. She had forgotten to arrange for Jaken's meal, to be given to him. She had not expected to be so lost in the beauty of the night. As she continued to walk, focusing on the meal for Jaken, she did not hear the footsteps following her. A hand grabbed her waist and yanked her from the ground, pulling her hard against what felt like silk. Using her skills, she managed to loosen the grip on her waist and landed a kick to what she perceived would be the centre of the thing that held her. She never called for help, but prayed she was not about to be kidnapped. She broke into a run through the forest, following the sounds of the river. She knew the layout of the terrain and with that she reached a hot spring. Whatever demon was following her would have his nostrils filled with her scent effectively blinding him to all others. The footsteps grew louder…
Blessing Kagome for the gift she had given her, she yanked out a rectangular box and pressed a button at the top aiming at the source of the footsteps. She then heard a growl and a tall figure appeared in front of her, its hands clawing at t's face trying to remove the burning sensation that gripped his eyes. She smirked at her victory, managing to do a little victory dance, then broke out into another run heading back home. It was a risk, but she took it. Reaching the clearing she was in before she pushed herself harder. This time she heard the footsteps once again, but she did not expect what happened next. Both their bodies was rolling on the grass, each trying to get control of the other, she closed her eyes trying to muster all her power, when realisation hit her that she was no longer moving.
She felt something glide down her face, it was not unpleasant but it was a strange to get such a feeling when being attacked. Before she knew it, her mouth was being claimed in a rather delicate, yet demanding kiss, as if begging her to give her attacker access to her mouth. It felt rather… nice… her mind flew in circles as various emotions flew through her thoughts. She should be attacking this thing, yet she was practically begging for more kisses. Her mind snapped back to reality as the creature purred her name in her ears, causing her to shiver.
Her eyes flashed open, only to meet golden circles, less than a few centimetres away from her own eyes. The golden eyes darkened as they continued to stare at her, as if waiting for a response…
