Sorry to my faithful readers! Life has been crazy and I haven't been able to update. On with the story!
5 DaysStill no visit, at least not from Lord Sesshomaru. Kagome had visited me this morning telling me there was a festival tonight and begging me to come. I politely (or maybe not so politely) told her I had no interest.

I can't believe I got roped into this. Kagome had sent over a few of the children from the village, who begged her to come until she finally agreed. One of the children then ran off to tell Kagome that she had agreed to come.
Kagome then came over and proceeded to dress her up. She switched her everyday kimono for one of the fancier ones that Sesshomaru had brought her on his last visit. It was a sapphire blue with red flowers embroidered on it in a beautiful design that stretched from her left shoulder to her right ankle. It fit her perfectly. She tied Rin's hair back in a ponytail and put a white lily from her garden into Rin's hair. She didn't bother with makeup because Rin really didn't need it. She looked stunning.
She hadn't been to a festival since she was a small child, so she was not used to the sights, smells, and sounds of the festival. The festival was to celebrate the downfall of Naraku. All of the battle's heroes were there, Koga and Ayame, Ginta and Hakaku, Miroku and Sango along with their four children and Kirara, Shippo, Kagome and Inuyasha, and most importantly ( in Rin's mind) Sesshomaru.

She had run out into the woods. One of the village men had been following her around since she arrived at the festival. His name was Hebi. He lived true to his name because he was like a snake. Rin had always seen him flirting with the village women. He had the attitude that he could always have whatever he wanted, and in this case, Rin knew exactly what he wanted. She ran off into the forest in hopes of getting away from him, but seeing as he followed, he must have taken it as a signal to follow.

Jaken had quickly told Lord Sesshomaru, who then all but ran toward the forest after whacking Jaken on the head for good measure.

Hebi had caught up with her and was now harassing her like he did to all the village women. He attempted wooing her with hi "charm smile" which only seemed to prove to her how awful he is.
He continued to move closer to her and she continued to back away.
"You look lovely tonight Rin," he said as he moved closer to her. This time she stood her ground. She soon regretted it when he moved forward, grabbed her, and then proceeded to put his hands on her backside.

As he ran, Sesshomaru could sense her anger growing. This only served to fuel his anger. Whatever that boy to make Rin angry, he would pay dearly for it.

When Sesshomaru approached the scene what he only made him angrier. Rin was struggling against Hebi and threatening him with physical harm.
"Whatever turns you on," Hebi said with his disgusting smile.
Sesshomaru was just about to intervene when… WHAM!
Rin had punched him in the ribs, kicked his legs out from under him and threw him to the ground.
Sesshomaru stared in amazement.
Jaken winced.
Rin looked up and saw Sesshomaru. She stared at him for a moment.
And then she ran.
