Chapter 10

Free

'So in to get out. But how?' Sesshomaru stood at the edge of the forest. 'If I go in and get stuck then I can't help Rin. The forest will never let me find her. I know that much. But how do I help her I can't just do nothing.' The demon looked at the trees with hate. 'How could I have let this happen? I should have been here I should have brought her with me.' Sesshomaru hit the ground with all his might. "Damn-it!"

"Humph….Now I even sound like that halt-demon." Sesshomaru looked at the trees again. 'Well if I can't get her out and I can't go in then what do I do?'

"Lord Sesshomaru?"

The demon turned very fast around. The sight shocked him.

Rin woke up and stretched. 'I haven't slept that good in. Well never.' Rin stood up. There was another plate of food and a fire had been started. ' What? Did someone come in here I didn't here anything?' Rin looked at the food. It looked very good. ' Well they must have made it for me I guess. Maybe they just didn't want to wake me. Nice of them who ever they are.' Rin eat the food.

' I wonder if there outside?' Rin got up and went out. No one was out there though. She looked everywhere but nothing and no tracks ether. ' Every strange. But I really need to get going I guess. To bad I really did need directions.' Rin went back in to get her bag. She bent down the get the small bag on the floor. She then heard the door open.

"Wait don't go."

Rin turned around. " Oh do you live here? I've waited to talk to you."

"I do live here. We have been watching you."

" Watching me? What do you mean we?" Rin looked at the figure standing in the door she couldn't really see him just his out line as the sun blurred her vision. ' Strange there was no sun just a minute ago.'

" We like you. Your not to eager to leave. You just seem to want a peaceful place to live. Is that right?"

"Well yes. But…"

"Haven't we given you that? This hut is it to your liking?"

"Oh well yes I do like it. But.."

"Then stay here I can give you what you seek."

"Yes I guess this is a nice place. But.."

"Good then you'll stay."

" No I can't just stay. I have to go. I need to keep going. I can come back though. I'll visit. I promise."

"Why cant you stay?"

"I want to be free." Rin looked at the figure.

"I see. Well you promise to return here often?"

"Yes I give you my word. I do like this place." Rin said honestly.

"Very well then we will let you leave." The figure slowly disappeared. As it did a path formed showing Rin the way out.

Rin grabbed her bag and started down the path. 'I was right about these trees they must be under some kind of spell. But it seems like they just wanted a friend. Funny really. I have no problems coming back here. The trees where very nice to me after all.' Rin smiled as she came to the end of the path. She looked back at the trees. "Till next time, friend." Rin waved.

The trees swayed in some wind. Rin nodded and kept walking she heard a familiar voice.

"Damn-it!"

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin looked in front of her to see the demon crouching on the ground.

" Rin!" Sesshomaru grabbed Rin and embraced her tightly.

"My lord." Rin hugged him back.

"How did you get out?" The demon looked at her.

"I just did. The trees let me go. I just talked to them is all. They liked me. Not really sure why." Rin looked in his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"Trying to find a way to get you out of there. But it seems that you did find on your own." Sesshomaru let Rin go and held her hands.

" I guess so I didn't really know what I was doing. So are you going to take me back to the village then?" Rin looked down.

"No. Not unless that is what you want."

Rin looked up in shock. "What do you mean?"

"It's time you decide what you want. You're a woman now not a child like before. You have to make your own choices." Sesshomaru let her go but held her hands.

" I want to be with you. As I always have." Rin lend up and kissed Sesshomaru who was a bit taken by it but press in to her lips.
