Chapter 11 – The Silent Signal
By the time Rin woke up from her sleep, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon. The food infront of her was all gone but no one was seen in her present. Rin got up from her seat in the kitchen and walked to the living room. She stood on the wooded floor and looked around the living room for any evidence to see if anyone was in the apartment while she was asleep.
'There's no one here' she thought. 'Could Kenji have came home while I was asleep?' The phone rang and interrupted her thoughts. She kept looking at the phone as it rang and debating weather she should pick it up or not. She walked up to the table where the phone rested upon and as she reaches out to pick it up, the phone stopped ringing. She turned around to leave but it rang again and this time she picked it up without any hesitation.
Rin put the phone against her ear but didn't say a word but simply just listen to the other line.
"Hello?"
It was a woman's voice. Rin was surprise and observed the phone that she was holding. The voice came again and Rin put the phone back to the side of her cheek and listen.
"Hello… Kenji? I know that it's you…" said the woman on the other line.
"Uh oh, Kenji's not here right now." Rin replies on the phone.
"Who's this?" The woman asked curiously. Before Rin could say anything, the phone was taken away from her cheek.
Kenji put the phone against his ear and gave Rin a quick stare.
"Who are you? Are you another one of Kenji's toys? Well you know what, I'm the real thing you hear!" the woman yelled on the other line. Kenji held out the phone in front of him and then hung it up.
"Who was it?" Rin ask curiously.
"No one." Kenji declares as he walked away from the phone. The phone rang again and Kenji rushes back to pick it up.
"What d you want?" Kenji said.
"Oh… so you are home. So now what? You're plotting to get rid of me by telling everyone of your replacements to tell me that you're not home when you are? How very cunning of you?" the woman on the other line replies coldly.
"There's nothing between you and I." With that said, Kenji hung up the phone once again. He took in a deep breath as the phone rang again. This time, he grabbed it and then slammed it back down to stop the ringing. He slide his fingers through his black hair and the phone rang again, again, and then again. He did the same thing bu picking it up and slamming it down. This continues another time and he just stood there with his left arm on the wall with his eyes closed.
"Why don't you want to pick up?" Rin questions him. There was no answer and kenji gave a sigh. Rin walked towards the phone and attempted to pick up when Kenji push the table along with the phone to the floor and unplugs the phone wires. Rin observes in shock as she scoots back from an angry Kenji. For a moment there, she thought that she imagine Kenji with red eyes, just like Sesshoumaru whenever he gets really mad and upset.
Kenji was inhaling and exhaling deeply from what he just did in front of Rin. He walked up to her grabbed her by the arm and then left the apartment.
After all the centuries of loneliness, Kenji actually thought that he should've just settle down with a woman who looks quite similar to Rin. Lina. Lina was a international performer from the Philippine islands. When her picture was posted on a poster for one of ther dancing shows, Kenji tracked her down to the south islands believing that it was Rin and became one of her biggest fans until he was able to mee her in person.
It turns out that when she was seen from far away, and when she was in pictures, her features were identical to Rin's. but her personality was different along with her eyes and her lips. Lina's lips were much more pout and it's only thinned when she smiles which gave off the same smile as Rins'. Her eyes only looked like Rin's when she was on stage due to the make-up effects and the lightings. It never really occurred to Kenji why he kept Lina around for so long making her believe that they would have a future together.
Perhaps it was because he have missed Rin for far too long and needed a replacement for the time being. Now that he was met his 'real' Rin, everything was going to change. There won't be any mercy if anyone was to get close to Rin. Not even Lina, the woman whom he thought to be infatuated with until he figure that she could never replace his loss of Rin five hundred years ago.
Kenji wanted to keep Rin safe and forever if he could. If he can, he certainly would battle himself to be with Rin this time. It seemed almost stupid that he wasn't this determine five hundred years ago when 'his' Rin was still alive and happy. Now, the mere thought of losing Rin to himself in the past was like a pain of death; maybe even more than just pain, but death itself.
Kenji knew that Sesshoumaru would come for Rin one day, but what was he more afraid of; the thought of he losing Rin all over again, or knowing how Sesshoumaru will lose Rin one day?
Kenji pulled over and parked at the curb of a park. He and Rin got out of the car. Kenji stood ahead of Rin with his back to her. He turned around and smiles, and then stretched out his hand to her. As she looks at his palm, she replaced her own hand over his. They walked together on the sidewalk of the park and kept a silence between each other.
As if knowing what Rin was thinking, he stops walking and looks down at the girl at his side.
"You want to ask me something?" he said to the girl. After he said this, Rin let go of his hand and walked over to a bench and sat down. Kenji followed her and took a seat next to her.
"Why did you take me here?" Rin asked. Kenji looked at her and then looked away at her question. "And why do you behave so strangely, how do I get back to my own time, and…" Kenji broke her words by placing his finger against her lips. He then slowly move his finger and place it over his own lips to quite her down.
"One question at a time." He said softly. It was very odd to see someone to identical to her Lord Sesshoumaru to behave in such a manner. Sesshoumaru would never do such a thing which Kenji just did. But the thought that Kenji and Sesshumaru are two different people in two different world were confusing to Rin and made here not want to know what happens to her Lord Sesshoumaru if he was to meet his death someday.
"Lord Sesshoumaru would never do that." Rin said nervously.
"Do what?" Kenji asked her.
"Do what you just did by quiting me down like that."
"What does he do then?"
"He simply just tells me to shut-up." Rin replies back.
"Rin… if it's so hard to aks, I see that you get me and this 'Lord Sesshoumaru' of yours confuse sometimes. Would it help you to be more comfortable to be around with me if you are to address me to that name?"
At that, Rin raise her eyebrows in shocked but then grins widely and nodded her head.
"Ok, Sesshoumaru-sama…" She said with a smile.
This made Kenji really happy somehow. Maybe perhaps it was because it was the first time in a long time that anyone has called him by his birth name. and maybe on behalf of that, it had to be Rin to fist address him the name Sesshoumaru.
How much longer will he have to be with Rin until the real Sesshoumaru comes to take her home to the ancient era? He wasn't able to help Rin when she was dying five hundred years ago and had wished on the young priestess's precious jewel on meeting RIn again one day.
Now that he finally bas met her again, why didn't he jewel truly fulfill his sacred wish by being with her again? He himself alone purify the jewel with hat simple wish of meeting her again someday. Why didn't he wish for them to be together this time? It took him another five hundred years just to learn that the face of a man will never lose too much, and can never gain too much. Only if he had put his pride behind him five hundred years ago, he never would've suffer the burden of lonliness.
"Come on Sesshoumaru-sama…" Rin said getting up and running up ahead. Sesshoumaru observes her running a few paces, stopped, turned around and waved. Sesshoumaru grinned remembering how much he misses Rin's joy and happiness. She was always happy to see Sesshoumaru come back from a trip, and alway greets him by running up to him and smiles. Sesshoumaru got up from the bench and put his hands in his pocket.
"Rin!" he called out to her.
"Huh?" Rin turn back to face him again. It was 4:15 in the afternoon and now that the season was spring, the cherry blossoms bloomed in it fullest. The wind was blowing a cool breeze while it brushes the petals off from the trees.
Rin had always looked so beautiful, but for some reasons, she always looks her best during the spring when al the flowers were in bloom. Perhaps it was because the season matches her joy and spirits, or maybe because Sesshoumaru grows softer every spring when the blossoms blooms to its fullest and she becomes gay.
"I love you Rin." He said. Rin only looks at him even more confuse. He had said something in a foreign language which she could not understand. She tilted her head to the side, squint her eyes and then walks closer to where Sesshoumaru stands.
"Nani?" Rin ask with dumbly. Sesshoumaru chuckles and then walked up to her. He bent his head close enough against her ear and again, in the foreign accent.
"Nothing…" Sesshumaru left Rin standing there confused. She turned around and laughs then runs after Sesshoumaru.
"Wait for me Sesshoumaru-sama. What did you say?" she questions him again. Sesshoumaru only smirks and walks even faster. Rin stopped while Sesshoumaru kept walking with his back to her.
"Hey Sesshoumaru-sama…" Rin trailed off.
Sesshoumaru turned his head with a smile on his face. He place his right finger on his lips to give the silent signal.
"Shhh… I said hurry up…"
