Pairing:Sesshoumaru X Rin
Ugly
Lord Sesshoumaru had long since stopped asking why he continued to allow the human girl to follow him. She had gotten older, taller, but not beautiful by any means—then again who really could compare to him.
Quite frankly, she was the epitome of ordinary, plain, and strikingly dull. Oh, but she was loyal. And long ago, the great Taiyoukai learned that loyalty should never be taken for granted.
As humans age, so do their needs, Sesshoumaru knows this fact, because Rin is human and now has needs. Needs, the youkai Lord considers, are things that he wishes never to fulfill. Perhaps, it is best that she is not an attractive creature.
She still follows him.
He still refuses to ask. It's simply not important enough to consider. He is a creature bred for battle not philosophical musings.
But even Rin knows that she has needs—no, desires—she feels them and tries to question but is silenced by a staff and a toad. So eventually, she stops even wondering and moves on. On and on with her Sesshoumaru is why she lives and breaths, right?
She will always go with him.
And neither will really ever ask; neither will truly ever know.
It certainly was an ugly choice.
Risks never taken are joys never known.
