Hehehe i know that it is wierd that sesshoumaru comes out of limo in his traditional attire but i think this dress reflects sesshoumaru's ruthless and powerful nature. And he also looks very handsome in his royal clothes.

CHAPTER 4

Two days were over with speed of lightening.

The doorbell rang, Rin opened the door and saw Sesshoumaru standing outside. He raised an eyebrow in questioning manner. Rin sighed and said,''I will go and pack my things.'' while rolling her eyes. She went up to her room without bothering to invite him in. She took her bag and threw clothes plus other accessories. She didn't have much to pack , after all she was not filthy rich like the man standing outside. She bid her mom goodbye but her mom was not ready to let go of her only daughter. At last Rin got out of the house grumply and sat in the car thinking-This is gonna be a long journey!, While glancing towards Sesshoumaru.

They had already passed the city and were moving towards a place of which Rin never knew about. Rin was staring silently out of the window towards the passing forests and fields. She thought- Have I made a right choice? Well... two days are a very short time to make a life changing decision! I don't think I am ready to for this unexpected change of life. But what's done is done. At least my mom would never have to suffer anymore problems in her life. Its the least I can do for her after what she had done for me all these years.

At last she decided that this deal is good . At least something good came out of it. Yes, she had made the right decision.

But it was wrong to hide the truth from her mother. But she can't tell her the truth because she would have worried too much and this would have upset her. Plus she would have never allowed all this to happen and would have never let her go.

Sesshoumaru glanced at Rin and she looked lost deep in thoughts but her eyes were filled with lonliness but her face was blank. If it wouldn't be for Sesshoumaru's keen nose, no one could tell that she was sad. He could easily smell the waves of sadness revolving out of her.

Rin had told her mother that she would be moving out to her friend's apartment in another city and would call her everyday. How sad her mother's face looked that time.

At last they entered a dense forest. Rin couldn't see anything apart the dark green trees. After few minutes, a vast clearing came in view. There among the big meadows stood a high, well-built, stoned, lavish, fort-like building. Rin almost gasped on seeing the huge, beautiful and royal mansion.

Many servants both male and female came to greet their master, saying welcome back Lord Sesshoumaru. Rin reached inside the mansion with wide eyes gulping down every detail and the beauty of that building. It was like an European castle with many art works decorated in all corners. But the mats, wooden carvings, bonsai, stone carvings and kakemono hanging on walls gave a rich Japanese touch to it.

Rin thought-I wonder how rich this guy Sesshoumaru is ? I can't wait to explore the whole mansion. Its so MAJESTICAL...!

Rin looked towards Sesshoumaru , but he was already gone and in his place stood a young girl. She wore an ordinary kimono. She came and helped Rin with her luggage. ''Let me show you your room Miss Rin! You must be tired.'' The young girl said with indifferent voice. Rin nodded and thought-how come she knows my name. Did Sesshoumaru tell everyone about me coming here to live?

As they were moving Rin saw a beautiful but strong woman crossing through them. She was wrapped in many layers of silk and looked like royalty. The young girl was immediately on her knees saying ,''MISTRESS''.
