Seshomaru was astounded. The young girl was showing no fear, even though she tasted her own blood. He slowly pulled away from the young girl with supreme strength. The borrowed shirt from the shoulder down was stained red. Rin turned her brown eyes upward to him, in an ashamed yet bashful manner. She bit her lip and her black bangs slightly concealed her eyes "I'm sorry, Lord Seshomaru"… He couldn't, nor would he tear his eyes from her beautiful face. Her worried expression only made him want to pull her closer; instead he broke it off then and there. "Rin, we must go back to the house. You must be fed and cleaned"…
Rin- I sit in Seshomaru-sama's bathtub, warm water laps my shoulders. The water is stained pink and my neck hurts a little bit. On the bright side though, my sickness is dissipating. I slide farther into the warm water, my hair floats around me. I need to wash away the blood from my wounds. Which of course makes my stomach hurt. Seshomaru-sama, Kagura and everyone in his family are all vampires…
A knock on the door disturbs my thoughts. "Rin, I have clothing for you. May I come in"? I sink into the whiteness of the bubbles into conciliation so only my eyes are visible. "Yes, come in". I say, my open mouth lets bubbles intrude though. The door to the bathroom door opens, and he walks in. He sets my clothing from earlier, only clean this time without so much as a side glances at me. He then leaves, closing the door behind him.
I step out of the tub and drain the water. Seshomaru hasn't really said a word to me since I kissed him. Is he angry with me? I mean he is with Kagura, does this mean that I've severed the friendship I was forming with him? I finish drying and dressing and brush my hair with my fingers.
I walk out of the bathroom, and Seshomaru sits at the table, a heaping plate of food before me. My stomach growls loudly as the aroma drifts into my nose. I hurriedly take a seat at the table. He watches me intently, with those steady golden eyes. "Rin, eat up. You need your strength"… "Thank you Lord Seshomaru-sama. May I ask, what time is it"? I ask while lifting a neatly cut white bread sandwich to my lips. "Its 2:45, don't worry I already contacted your grandmother"… A set of relaxation rolls in. The only sound in the hose is the sound of me eating".
Seshomaru was beyond tempted earlier, to look at her naked form once more. Yes he had seen her undressed when he changed her clothes, but that was a different scenario, when she was unconscious, then and there the human girl very awake and deeply alert… So now, he watched her eat. He noticed on how her hands shook every time she took a bite of the vegetable sandwich. Seshomaru couldn't tell if her fever was worsening, or it was just nerves.
The girl folded her napkin silently and laid it on the empty plate. "So, you're a vampire are you"? Rin said, breaking the odd silence. "Yes, I've been a vampire since the Sengoku period of Japan". "Yes I see, tell me about Rin… The one I'm supposed to be reincarnated from"?
"Lord Seshomaru look at these flowers I've picked"! The human child said while skipping over to the demon lord. Her brown eyes were sparkling at the hint of amusement on the man's face. "Lord Seshomaru, I'm going to look over there for flowers, is that alright"? "Yes, Rin that's alright"… "Thank you my Lord"! The girl skipped off, the bright kimono was the last to fade from sight, then her piercing shriek…
Within a moment, Seshomaru was over the hill where the young Rin went to pick flowers. The young girl was sprawled out on the grass at an odd angle, a demon was bent over her and eating her insides. Her eyes were wide and un-seeing. It only took a second to slay the beast, but the girl… Seshomaru took her in his arms, not caring that her blood stained the white of his shirt. "Rin, please come back to me"! But the girl was gone, dead and Seshomaru could not wield the Tensaiga twice on the same person.
Rin-"So I went down to the fiery pits of hell and traded my soul for her life. It didn't work though; the devil brought back my father, and my stepmother in exchange for Rin. He said her soul was too pure to hand over right away and her soul was too precious". I sit there stunned and blink a few times. That's a lot to take in, demons being real, my soul once belonged to the devil if this reincarnation stuff is real, and I'm still not getting around the bend on the fact The Taisho's are vampires. Pardon me if I become a little un-hinged after this chain of events…
"I guess that I should take you home now"… Seshomaru says while glancing at the clock. My insides frown. "Is it alright if I stay longer, Seshomaru-sama"? I don't mean here, I mean by his side. "That is fine, but I have to go to the big house. Since I realize it's beyond cruel to leave you here alone, you're coming with me"…
Seshomaru pulls into the driveway of a white and glass house .What is it with these guys and white? Is it a gene or an acquired taste? I let myself out of the car, and follow Seshomaru inside, where I see seven of the most beautiful people I've ever encountered.
I'll start with Izayoi, she's looking as lovely as ever, but confused… Then I see a man with stark white hair that looks like Seshomaru and Inuyasha. I presume that is Lady Izayoi's mate, Inutashio. Then of course, Inuyasha and Kikyo whom have an interesting amount of distance between them, then Kagura who stands alone in the back, hiding partially behind her fan, and then two faces I don't recognize. "Koga, come on! Can't you and Inuyasha not try and kill each other for once"! A red headed girl says, to a man with long black hair. He doesn't seem like the type to be a vampire, considering he has tan skin. "Ayame, the mutt started it"! "I'm not a mutt anymore"! I take it the red head is Ayame, and the tan skinned man is Koga. They don't look like vampires… "That's because they aren't. Koga and Ayame are actually wolf demons. We've known them since the Sengoku period, but have all been too repulsed by their smell to even try to eat them"… Seshomaru whispers to me. "Though none the less, they are the fleeting remainders of their species AND our friends. Isn't that right, Inuyasha"? The man I presume that is Inutashio says with authority. "Yes dad, hey who's the human"! Inuyasha says while focusing on me. "Wait, Rin, what are you doing here"? Lady Izayoi and Inuyasha say together. I do the easiest thing I can. I stand behind Lord Seshomaru and cower. "I brought Rin here today, because I have a high suspicion that she is Rin's reincarnation"… A collective gasp fills the room, and my stomach drops to my toes. It's never a good thing to be the prime focus of five vampires and two wolf demons…
