Ok guys, I think I am done crying over chapter 3 everytime I read it, so here is chapter 4.
Chapter 4: New home, Different surrounding.
Lord Sesshomaru stopped a mile or two from the town, saying he would go no further.
Rin thanked him in a sad tone, but was also half-excited.
She gulped and started heading down the hill.
" Rin." Sesshomaru said.
She turned.
That was all he wanted, her to turn, and keep her there longer.
" Yes?" Rin asked, after standing there for minutes.
" I only wish to tell you to enjoy your new life, and if you ever change your mine, I will always be here for you." Sesshomaru said.
" You mean your staying?" Rin asked almost excitedly.
Sesshomaru shook his head slowly, and Rin's smile faded.
" I must keep moving..." He started but Rin stopped him.
" move to where? Lord Sesshomaru what is so important to you that makes you move everywhere all the time?" Rin asked a little rudely, and she immediatley regretted it, but, then again, she wasn't some kid anymore.
Sesshomaru knew this, she had matured and learned how to speak for herself, though she always apologized for her actions afterwards.
" I'm sorry my lord, I didn't mean to say..." Rin started, but Sesshomaru just turned gracefully and walked off.
Rin looked down, ' Great, my last words to him were absolutely terrible, and he'll hate me forever for it.' Rin thought.
Sadly, she turned and finished heading down the hill.
She came to the town, and it was dark.
" now what?" Rin asked herself.
" Bread, anyone?" The same man was walking around tiredly, holding out bread even though the streets were empty.
" Mr, You shouldn't be out here this late, you could get ill." Rin said to him.
He turned to her.
" Thanks for the concern, but..." He paused when he came closer to her.
" Hey, I saw you this afternoon." He said looking at her.
" yes, what's your name?" Rin asked.
Well, If I was to adapt to this place I might as well get to know who I was with.
" Name's Totosai." He said.
Rin softly giggled.
" What?" The man asked.
Rin thought she had offended him so she stopped., " Sorry, I was just thinking about your name."
" Yeah, I know, Name's terrible isn't it?" Totosai asked.
" No, not at all." Rin said.
" Well, would you like some bread, I just heated it up next to that fire over there." Totosai offered.
" Sure." Rin said.
Totosai cut off a piece of the bread with a rusty looking sword, and handed the steaming fresh piece of bread to Rin.
Rin's stomache growled welcomly, longing for the smell of the bread to be digested.
She slowly ate.
" mmm, This is good! It's even better than the berries that I eat." Rin said.
" Berries huh? Well, We don't just serve bread and berries here." Totosai said.
Rin smiled.
" Grandpa! Come on, I told you not to stay out to late!" A familiar boy voice sounded.
The two looked over at... Logan coming.
" Just sellin' my bread." Totosai said.
" Come on you little goof!" Logan said, pushing him ahead to the house.
After Totosai was in the house, Logan turned to Rin.
" Sorry about that, I hope he didn't waste any of your...Time... Rin, that you?" Logan asked.
" Yep, it's me." Rin smiled.
" Wow, so um, what are you doing here? Why did you run off?" Logan asked.
Rin didn't know how to answer.
" The boys and I were just kidding about this Lord being a demon, so what brings you here?" Logan asked.
" Well, I was um... Just wondering if..." Rin began stuttering again.
" Where are your parents? I can help you get back home if you'd like." Logan offered.
" I don't have any." Rin said as if it was a normal answer.
Logan gasped, " No parents? Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, would-" The boy cleared his throat, " Would you like to spend the night here?"
Rin looked at him. " Um, sure."
" Alright! I love sleepovers!" Logan said happily like a little kid again.
Rin smiled, apparently sleepovers were a good think... She hoped.
" Hey! Uncle Totosai! Rin is going to spend the night with us!" Logan shouted, coming into the house.
Rin came in slowly.
" Well, welcome to our home, Rin is it?" A female voice sounded.
" Yes." Rin said.
" Well hi, I am Lola. Logan's grandmother." The lady introduced.
" Hi." Rin said simply.
" I was making some stew, would you like some Rin?" Lola asked.
" Yes please." Rin said, her stomach of course agreeing.
" And bread!" Totosai shouted heroically holding up the bread.
" Grandpa! You've had that thing around for three days, no wonder no one wanted it." Logan said.
" Well, it was pretty good to me, is there anything you would like for me to pay you back?" Rin asked.
" Goodness sake's no, bread was free." Totosai said.
Rin sighed relieved, then thought back on Sesshomaru.
He was the only reason she had asked Totosai what he wanted in return.
" Ok, Stew is on the table." Lola called from the kitchen.
Totosai disappeared into the kitchen before anyone's eyes.
Logan stayed next to Rin as they made their way into the kitchen table.
He pulled out a chair for Rin to sit in.
" Thank you." Rin said.
" No prob." Logan said.
' No prob?' Rin asked herself, then just shrugged it off.
Bowls were set around the table with steaming hot liquid with all kinds of vegetables, and meat.
Rin picked up her spoon and scooped up a little then blew until the steam stopped escaping the liquid, then she lightly sipped at it.
" Well, is it good?" Lola asked.
" Oh yes very much!" Rin said happily, she had honestly never tasted anything as good in her life.
" So, where are you from Rin?" Lola asked.
Rin lowered her spoon hesitantly.
Logan sat up and walked over to his Grandma, and whispered something to her.
Lola gasped, and glanced at Rin.
" Are you an orphan?" Lola asked.
" Please don't turn me in!" Rin panicked all of a sudden moving from the table, startling everyone.
" Why would we turn you in dear?" Lola asked.
" Because, I... I lost my parents, and, and, the mean people who killed them abducted all the children, and did dreadful things... And... Please don't let them know I'm here!" Rin started crying scared now.
" Rin, are you talking about... Bandits?" Lola asked.
" Yes, those are it." Rin said.
" Well, I bet a young woman like you, bandits wouldn't want to harm you." Totosai said, mostly concentrating on his soup.
Lola lightly smacked him,
" Rin, it's ok if you are an orphan, you can stay here as long as you like." Lola said.
Logan looked happy, but sorrow was in his eyes.
" I'm going for a walk." Logan said, then walked out the door without anything else to say.
" Did, Did, I upset him?" Rin asked.
" No deary, he does this everynight." Lola said.
" I'm going to go talk to him." Rin said whiping her eyes, then heading out the door.
When she got outside, it was dark, but the moon casted perfect lighting upon the town, and the crickets chirped a perfect melody.
' Where was Logan?' Rin wondered.
She wandered around.
She came to the back of the house, and saw a barn, and one of the doors were slightly open.
Curiously, she headed that way.
When she got to the door, she slowly opened it more, peeking in.
" Hello?" Rin asked.
Two RED eyes glowed.
Rin gulped, " Logan is that you?..." The red eyes blinked and before she could move, it sped out of the cellar, pushing her aside.
Rin screamed as she was tossed in the air.
She landed on her back, with a gasp.
A demon hovered above her, drool dripping from it's fangs onto her face.
It was what looked like a, Dragon demon.
It's tongue snaked out and licked the side of her face for testing.
" Get away from her!" A voice came, and the tongue was cut off, landing right beside Rin.
She couldn't move, but she could move her head, and she turned it towards the voice.
Logan stood there with a... Uh... Sharp weapon.
" Logan?" Rin gasped.
He ran foward, and leapt in the air, right above the dragon, then dropped down, letting the sharp object slice through it.
The dragon roared in agony, and burst into some ugly slime, squirting everywhere, Logan came down, and laid himself on top of RIn, letting all the slime fall on him.
" Rin, are you ok?" Logan asked, standing up, helping her up.
" How did you DO that!" Rin asked surprised.
" weeeelll, Rin, if you really want to know... I'm a Demon slayer." Logan said.
" What? Why?" Rin asked.
" Why? Because they are all pure evil, just like that stupid dragon." Logan said.
Rin stared at him, there was more, she knew it.
" Want to here a little story?" Logan asked.
" Um, sure." Rin said.
" Ok, I, I lost my parents too." Logan said quickly.
" ... What? No you haven't, what about Lola, and Totosai, Aren't they your parents?" Rin asked.
Logan laughed lightly, but still sadness was within him, " No, those are my Grandparents. My parents were killed by demons. I was 4 years old, and my grandparents were coming over for the holidays, and our village got attacked, Dad had a secret that I didn't find out until that day, he was a Demon slayer, He protected us all he could, but... there were just too many of them, my grandparents fled the town with me in their arms, since then, I've been living here, no matter how young i was then, I would never forget that day, and hopefully, one of these demons that I destroy, will be the Demon who murdered my family." Logan said.
Rin was speechless.
Also a little sad, if only Rin had gotten a second chance... But wait! She did, Lord Sesshomaru, despite his cold heart, he put her under his wing, and... Wasn't Lord Sesshomaru her family?
" Rin, are you alright?" Logan asked.
" Yes, are you? I mean, I am sorry for your loss, it must have been terrible for you." Rin said.
" Yes, it was. But that is why I must fight, to protect this town, it is my job." Logan said.
" But your too... young, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Rin asked.
He laughed, " Rin, I am 17 years old, I think I know how to handle things myself, if you want, I can help you learn how to be a demon slayer."
" Um, no thanks." Rin said.
" Ok then, well, let's get to bed, you can sleep in the guest bed." Logan said.
They walked back to the house, Rin feeling sorry for Logan.
He had almost lost everything, what did Rin have?
She realized she felt empty, she really HAD lost everything.
That night, Rin laid in her bed.
She was alone, despite this family's kindness, she was alone.
She lost her mother, her father, and... Her Lord Sesshomaru.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she buried her head in the pillow to let them flow free, until she fell asleep.
...
" Me Lord, where is Rin at, has that pesky child gotten lost once again." Jaken asked, as they walked through the dark forest.
" Quiet Jaken, I am not in the mood for you hideous insults." Sesshomaru said.
" What did I say me lord?"
Sesshomaru's eyes squeezed shut, he was tired of being called 'Lord'
And he was alone, he needed to hear HER voice, her graceful and wonderful Lulluby's that she sang to what she thought to herself every night.
" Um, Me lord?" Jaken started.
Sesshomaru turned into his dog form and ran off through the forest.
" Where are you going?" Jaken shouted behind him.
Sesshomaru ignored him, he wanted to be alone, somewhere where Jaken wouldn't find him, at least not for a while.
For half of the night, Sesshomaru ran FASTLY through the forest.
When he thought he was far enough, he slowed, and returned to his human form, then jumping up on one of the bigest trees, then leaning against it tiredly.
He had probably run around the world twice at this pace he did.
He sat down on the branch and stared up at the full moon.
" Rin, I hope you are well." Sesshomaru said.
He leaned against the bark of the tree, and let his eyes close, once they did, a single, small tear slowly fell down his face, but he took no notice, he was already asleep.
Awww! First he has smiled, now he has cried!
