Thanks for the good reviews! They're all very appreciated.
Oh if you have time check out my other Sess/Rin fic. 'Two Worlds'.
Enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His deep, hollow black eyes spilled into her bright red rubies. He felt into her soul and mind as if tampering with it. Using his twisted ways on her. The sick feeling she experienced was nothing new. For her master had done this many, many times before.
He shut the empty darkness of his soul windows. A smirk spreading across his face from the pleasure of looking into his minion's mind.
"You have done well Kagura. The girl seems to be disliking you and that dog is completely under your spell."
She frowned in disgust. Not from his response but because she felt so much like him now. She had been getting enjoyment from poisoning the teen's soul. She could tell Rin didn't like her and whenever the chance was right she'd cuddle with the powerful dog demon. The sickened look upon Rin's face made it all worth while
"It's only been a week and that wench hates my guts. When do you plan on taking her?"
The half breed shot a glare, "That's your problem. She hates you but not that dog. You need to make her despise him."
She gasped, "I'm only doing what you said. If it bothers you so much than you take care of it."
She got up and stormed from the room. The sound of the wind picked up outside the doors. No doubt she had taken off back to the trio.
Naraku laughed at her reaction. She hated him so and he loved that. Displeasure, hatred, disgust. The wind demon wanted him dead so badly…she may even be able to get Sesshomaru to kill him. A thought that wasn't settling well in his mind.
The time is now.
"Sesshomaru. That girl will despise you by nightfall."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wretch."
Jaken mumbled to himself as his lord went off once again with his mate. He had grown a new habit of not even saying when he was leaving. The toad hated it and would ramble on until the dog returned.
The mortal he shared his days with would only sit there and listen. She didn't speak as much as she used to and it bothered him further. Her tiny voice would normally speak out in solution to the problem. Or she'd make him look on the brighter side of things. Now that she'd been silenced it was like she agreed with her master's complaints.
"That filthy spawn is up to no good! She wouldn't have a thing to do with Lord Sesshomaru until now! But I'm watching her!" He yelled out to the hills.
"Master Jaken…"
He turned when hearing the human's voice. He was prepared for her "you shouldn't think of people as up to no good" speech. But alas no such thing would come from her.
"What is it, Rin?"
"I was wondering…If you'd let me go for a walk. By myself."
He twitched, "By yourself?! You're just a child! A demon would easily make you a snack! You shall stay here with me!"
The dragon sitting beside the girl, snarled.
"Oh but I can take Ah-Un. Please Master Jaken."
Her eyes looked like they would fill with tears at any moment. Her urge to get away from the camp was almost suffocating. Of course she had been trapped there ever since Kagura joined the party. She had advised Sesshomaru that Rin would be safer staying with Jaken at all times. The dog agreed willingly and made it a rule.
'Well…No. Rin our lord has instructed us to stay put." He turned back to look at the ever stretching green hills.
Lord Sesshomaru. What has happened?
'Crunch'.
He looked over his shoulder at the crunch like sound. He simply saw Ah-Un shooting off into the sky, Rin aboard.
"Hmmp." He spun back to his view before realizing what he'd just seen.
"Wha?! Rin!" He shouted up to the human.
"Rin! Get back here this instant! Don't you disobey Lord Sesshomaru!"
"Don't worry I'll be back soon!" She called back.
At least Master Jaken is worried about me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I told you to bring more. Don't you ever listen?" The half breed kept ranting about Kagome not bringing him instant noodles.
"I said I was sorry! Give it a rest!" She pulled out the drinks, completing their picnic setup.
The monk nodded, "InuYasha we're fortunate Kagome brought us back lunch. Don't push her."
"Why are you sucking up so much, huh?" The dog countered.
Both the demon slayer and the ex-schoolgirl glared at him. No doubt he'd try and pull yet another perverted motion. Even after his long-awaited proposal to Sango he still was as big a womanizer as ever.
"I'm simply being nice." He sipped his tea.
"Right and InuYasha's a cat." The girl's giggled.
He flinched and shot a death glare. The monk only gave a nervous laugh and prayed the subject would change.
The fox and cat demon merely ignored the comebacks their group gave one another. The two of them only had one thing in mind: FOOD. Prepared food.
"Do you think they'll stop, Kilala?" Shippou held the portable sized kitty.
She meowed and gave a light purr. No one not even the cuddly cat could tell when the "friends" would stop bashing each other. It was all in good fun yet kind of annoying when the non-fighting duo was hungry.
"Oh I think I see some cookies." The fox whispered.
"Meow…" She stopped when a familiar scent filled the air. It's powerful aura following it.
Her head lifted upwards towards the bright sky. Instantly her eyes averted to the beast flying quickly overhead.
"Meow!" She called as if yelling the dragon's name.
"Huh?" The group said in unison when hearing her cry.
"Oh hey isn't that Ah-Un?" Sango looked to where her pet's eyes were.
"Yeah…And it looks like Rin's with him." Kagome's eyes lit up as she saw the younger girl. Rin was like a little sister to her, over the years they'd become much closer. It seemed like the teen always came to her for simple advice. Which she loved giving and hoping it would help.
"Rin!" She screamed.
InuYasha's sensitive ears pounding as another glare was fired at her.
"Hmm?" She snapped from her daydream when hearing the older girl.
Ah-Un quickly headed downward as he smelled the cooking food. It was lucky for the beast that Rin enjoyed the other's company otherwise she'd have choked him with the long reigns.
The duo landed swiftly next to Kilala and Shippou. The human dismounting and running straight into Kagome's arms.
"Hey there long time no see." She hugged the younger girl.
She nodded, "I'm sorry. I haven't had time to come visit."
Her voice sounded shaky almost like she was pretending to be happy. It bothered Kagome but she wouldn't press Rin to tell her what was wrong if she didn't want to.
The girl's parted and smiled at each other. InuYasha almost gagging in disgust. He didn't hate Rin but she reeked of his brother's scent.
"Oh you're having lunch? I didn't bother you did I?"
"No not at all. Join us."
They sat down as Kagome began serving up the hot soup. Shippou and Kilala rushing to be first. The dragon only grunted when watching the opposite pet acting like she was royalty.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Next time, okay?"
"Yeah right."
"I said I'd bring noodles next time. I'm just being nice."
"If you were nice you'd have brought them this time."
Miroku and Sango watched the couple once again battle over the noodles. InuYasha just wouldn't let go of it.
"Should we pull them apart?" Rin popped another cracker in her mouth.
"I find it more amusing to let them fight." The monk laughed.
"Yeah besides it'll be over in…three…two…one."
"SIT BOY!"
The ground shook as the dog slammed into it. His face smacking head on into the dirt.
"Serves you right." She huffed and went on with eating.
"I…I…" He cried out in pain.
"Told you not to push her." Miroku smirked.
"Shut up!" His scream was muffled by the dirt.
Rin giggled for the first time in awhile. Though her companions automatically thought all was well with her and the dog's gang.
"See InuYasha? Even Rin think it's funny when you get hurt." Sango smiled.
"Oh no. It's not that I was just thinking about something…"
"Like what?" The girl's asked.
"…Well I was thinking of how much fun it would be if someone else had the beads on." She blushed.
Both older girl's almost exploded with laugher. Rin had finally wanted to control her overbearing lord.
"Sesshomaru wouldn't be able to handle it." Sango chuckled.
"No! Not for him…For someone else."
They stopped giggling and scooted closer to their friend.
"Who Rin? It's okay to tell us."
"…Kagura."
Their eyes exchanged glances with confusion. Both returned to look down at the teen.
"…Lord Sesshomaru is in…he's in love with her. I was only laughing because I could make her fall with the beads. That wasn't very nice of me though." She rested her head on her knees.
Sango and Kagome both gasped slightly. It was shocking enough that Sesshomaru could love anybody but it was more surprising that Rin said that. Her voice sounded weak as she did and even thinking that a sweet girl like her could want anyone hurt was a shocker.
Still they knew what was wrong and why she said it. Jealousy.
"Rin you don't need to think it was 'wrong' to say that."
Especially since it's Kagura. That witch kidnapped you.
"Yes it was. Lord Sesshomaru cares for her and I shouldn't insult her."
Kagome wrapped her arm around Rin's shoulder.
"It's fine to not like her. Just because Sesshomaru does, doesn't mean you have to."
She tensed, "He's happy and I think he'd want me to like her."
A small tear ran down her face. She bit her lip in frustration.
Sango wiped away the droplet, "Let it out. We won't tell anyone."
Soon more tears spread across her face. She gasped when trying to breath. The mere thought of that witch made her ache. It suffocated her and her heart would drop further and further.
She buried her face in Kagome's arm. Clutching her hand with all her might.
Sango moved closer and smoothed her long hair. It was hard to believe what a tough front this girl could put up.
"I-I don't want to hate her or Lord Sesshomaru." She cried.
InuYasha's ears twitched when hearing her. He directed his attention from the dirt clods he and Miroku were etching from his face.
The monk also stopped to listen in.
"Oh you're silly. You don't hate them you're just jealous." Kagome laughed.
"But why? I don't want to…"
"Rin. Until now you were the only girl in Sesshomaru's life. All his extra time was for you and Jaken. Now there's a new girl with him and it's really hard but you have to pull through with it. You care for him and you're upset that she'll hurt him. It's natural." She glanced over to InuYasha.
Kikyo was here before me…Maybe she feels like that.
The teen stayed quiet as the tears gradually ceased. She took comfort in Kagome's advice. It explained why she felt that way about Kagura and it made more sense aloud. But still she felt something else was wrong. Something deeper.
I don't like her because…I want…I want Lord Sesshomaru?
Her face shaded pink as she untangled herself from the other's arms. She laughed sadly.
"I can only hope that she treats him right." She wiped her face.
"That's the spirit."
She nodded and walked back to her ride. She slid onto his back and grabbed the reigns.
"I should head back before Master Jaken worries….Thank you." The dragon shook it's head and flew off homeward.
"She hates him, doesn't she?"
Everyone turned to the half breed.
"I don't know…But love has really blinded her."
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing. Shut up and eat your soup."
"Oh you know what? I would gladly eat if SOMEONE would have brought noodles back."
"Just eat the soup."
"I want noodles."
"Eat your food!"
"No!"
"SIT!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun finally rested after a long day. It's orange and yellow ray sunk down past the mountains. The bright moon lit up the sky with it's own unique rays of silver and blue.
The wind had also calmed from the rash whippings of the week's earlier weather. Now not even a breeze was felt. The only sweeping air was through the girl's hair as her dragon landed in the trees. Back home once more.
They both noticed that Jaken had given up on his worrying. His sleeping body stayed still against the large tree. Ah-Un grunted at him. Rin ignored the toad and looked for any sign of Kagura. None. Good.
Even after Kagome's help she still felt skeptical about the woman. She didn't think she'd ever get over it.
She slid off the dragon and sighed. At least if Kagura was here than her lord would be too.
"Looks like we're alone, Ah-Un." She patted him.
"Don't be so sure."
She gasped as the wind sorceress appeared from behind a tree. Her fan still waving her face.
"Oh good evening Mistress." She bowed stiffly.
She smirked, "You shouldn't be wasting time here…you have someone waiting for you in the field."
She looked up, "A visitor?"
"Yes and you'd best get to him. He's very eager to see you."
She smiled when realizing who it was. None other than her lord.
"Right." She ran off unaware of what really awaited her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The moonlight beamed down on the open field. Illuminating the flowers, the grass and the brilliant long hair of the demon. He practically glowed in this light. To the human's eyes he was radiant as she neared him.
Her footsteps stopped a few feet behind him. Small pants escaped from her running.
"L-Lord. I'm here." She laughed.
"I know." He turned to face her, a small smile on his lips.
She giggled when seeing him smiling at her. The first time he looked into her eyes and smiled. She took pride in knowing he was looking at her and not that witch.
He knelt down in front of her, looking at her more closely. She was very pretty. When she was younger her cuteness almost blocked the beautiful young girl she'd grow to be. She was only a teenager but the hints of beauty shined in.
"You're very lovely, Rin."
She blushed, "T-thank you, Lord."
A finger pressed against her mouth gently.
"Rin…What if I told you I loved you?"
Her heart skipped as she blushed harder. She took his hand gently away from her lips as she did he pulled her into an embrace.
"Tell me, Rin."
"If you did…I'd just say that…" She looked up into his eyes.
He leaned in closer and pressed his lips to hers. She instantly closed her eyes and pressed back. Her arms wrapping around his neck.
Is this really happening? If I'm dreaming I hope I don't wake up.
The two slowly parted, gazing into one another's eyes as they did.
"Lord…Do you love me?" She felt like she didn't need to know the answer.
He smiled and began laughing quietly. The human looked at him questionably. What was so funny?
He rose and stopped his chuckling.
"Lord Sesshomaru I don't understand…"
"Foolish human. You really think a demon…no anyone could ever love you. You're a waste of time really. I don't know why I bother keeping you around."
She gasped, "What? Why are you saying that?! Why did you…"
"Demons like playing with mortal's emotions. You wouldn't understand so I found a woman that would. You really thought you could impress me, fool." He glared at her.
The burning tears streamed down her face once again. Now a scared and angered glare shot from her eyes. How could he do that? Why was he acting this way? What had she done wrong?
"Kagome was wrong! I….I hate Kagura and I…I hate…"
She stopped and started running back to camp.
"Rin stop!"
She halted only for an instant, glancing over her shoulder at the wretched dog.
"You forgot your goodbye kiss…"
The blade of the Tokijin shimmered in the moonlight. Rin's frightened eyes only caught a glimpse as the dog dashed up behind her.
She let out a final scream as the blood stained the grass.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poor Rin. Well we can't win all the time, right? Right.
Sorry it was so long.
Please Review.
