THUMP.
Oof.
THUMP.
"Rin, is there a problem?"
"No my lord."
THUMP.
"Rin, foolish human girl! Walk faster. Lord Sesshomaru requested that we got there before sundown."
"Rin is sorry. There are too many roots to jump over." She uttered before getting her foot caught in one again.
"Pathetic human -"
"Jaken be silent." Sesshomaru commanded before slowing his pace to match Rin.
Just as her attempt to skip over an overgrown root failed, she felt a strong hand grip her up wrist before falling to the ground.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru."
Her appreciation was met with silence although Sesshomaru did not release her wrist.
"Lord Sesshomaru, your hands are cold. Not to worry, Rin will warm them up for you."
She slid his hand into hers without any struggle. She even slipped her other hand over his and held on loosely.
Jaken gasped.
"How dare you touch the Lord? You disgusting -"
Sesshomaru silenced him with a deep growl.
Rin gripped onto Sesshomaru tightly as they trekked along in the darkness to their destination. If he felt pain from her hold, he masked it well. Every once in a while, his eyes would pull away from the path and focus back at the little girl holding his hand. Every once in a while, her eyes would overlook the roots below to peer at the hand guiding her through the darkness.
She gave it a small squeeze.
He returned it.
