New chapter huhu

Inuyasha is not mine

Chapter 4:

Rin was standing in the middle of the room. It was a very sophisticated and big room constructed with a really dark wood. The room was quiet and cool. Very different from the outside environment. There were two big windows opened on the right side of the cabin. The wind was entering from there making the temperature in the room very cool. She looked around and noticed a lot of shelf with books and maps piled. She could also see a shelf with glass bottles. And there were others shelves that were closed and she could not see what they had inside. She then concentrated in front of her. There was a big table with lot of paper spread on it. And sited behind it was Sesshoumaru. He was looking at some paper in his hands and didn't paid attention to her. She looked at Kohaku which was standing by her left side and Kohaku shrugged. She took a deep breath and cleared her throat.

"Sesshoumaru... sama?", she called him, hoping not to have been too bold calling him by his name.

That caught him off guard. He was not expecting her to call him like that or even know his name. He looked up and locked his eyes with hers.

Seeing that she caught his attention, she spoke again.

"I am truly sorry I invaded your ship", she bowed for a few seconds and lifting her face up she continued.

"I was running from... some people and ended up hiding inside of one ark. I was so tired that I fell asleep and when I woke up I was here." she explained.

She was very nervous and her voice was trembling a little bit. She hoped that what she said did not sound like a lie. Even if it was the truth. She looked at his eyes and she could feel that he was analyzing her. And one more time she felt nude in front of him.

"So?", he said after a few minutes of awkward silence.

Rin gulped.

"I-I want you to let me stay in your ship until you dock at some bay", Rin closed her eyes and putted her hands in front of her face, pleading, "Please!"

"My lord, can I say something?" Jaken asked, interrupting.

Sesshoumaru looked at Jaken and signaled with his head giving Jaken the permission to speak. Rin was afraid of what Jaken wanted to say and she was sure that he wanted to make her life a little bit harder. She cursed him in her mind.

Jaken could feel Rin's stare at him but didn't care.

"My lord, we can afford to have one more person in our ship, we have plenty of supplies..." Jaken said.

Rin gasped, surprised by what he said.

He is helping me now?, Rin asked to herself. She was happy.

"But...", Jaken looked at her and gave her a smirk. Rin's happiness fled away from her.

"Damn you, Jaken", Rin whispered to him.

She realized what he did. He was not helping her. He was making her knew that he could help her but he will not.

"... she is a woman. She is a woman in a ship full of men. Nothing good will happen to her here. Also, you know the curse, right? Having a woman in a ship will make the ship sink. They bring bad luck-" Jaken was interrupted.

"I will do anything. Please! I have money. I can give you money if you want" she was desperate.

She was almost crying but she didn't let the tears fall from her eyes. She wanted Sesshoumaru to see that she was strong.

"I will do anything", she repeated.

"Master, she is a brave girl. She knows her way around a sword", Kohaku intruded the conversation, "She took that staff from Jaken's hand very easy, I can say", Kohaku smiled at Rin, calming her a bit.

Sesshoumaru raised one eyebrow by what Kohaku had said. One surprise after another.

"She can defend herself", Kohaku finalized.

Rin wanted to thank him. She was relieved. Gathering her courage, she walked and got near the table. She look inside Sesshoumaru eyes one more time.

"I will do anything", she repeated waiting for his reply.

"Show me your hands." Sesshoumaru said.

What?, Rin thought.

"My hands, my lord?", she asked, just to make sure that she heard correctly.

"Yes", he replied.

Reluctant Rin showed her hands to him, unsure of what was his intention.

She could see that he was inspecting her hands until his eyes snapped back at her face.

"You are not a simple girl. From who you were running away?", he asked her.

"I...", she knew that she should not say the truth about running away and that she was running away from her family. But she should not lie too. She was sure that he could tell if she was lying or not. She didn't know what to say. And after a few minutes of silence, she said nothing. She was looking at her hands, she didn't have the courage to look at his eyes.

"Very well", Sesshoumaru said with his cold and calm voice. "What is your name?", he asked.

"Rin", she answered.

"Do what you want, Rin", he said.

She looked up surprised by what he said and how beautiful her name sounded coming from him. Her heart started to pound faster.

"T-thank you, Sesshoumaru-sama!", she bowed showing respect.

"And Jaken"

Jaken flinched.

"M-my lord?"

"Do you think my ship will sink someday?", he asked with a colder tone.

"Huh? N-n-no master!", Jaken answered, "Never!"

"Good", Sesshoumaru said, going back to his documents, "Now leave", he commanded, giving one more look at Rin.

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama!", Rin answered.

And quick, she grabbed Jaken and Kohaku sleeve and got out of the cabin.
