CHAPTER 10
Jaken and Rin finally caught up with Lord Sesshomaru, as he sits on a boulder with his right foot propped up, his knee to his elbow and his fist to his chin with his hair dances to the left as he stares off. Jaken is hesitant to come near, but asks "is everything," and before he can finish Sesshomaru stood up, "we keep moving, don't fall behind". Jaken can feel the air filled with pure tension from Sesshomaru. But Rin doesn't notice as she is riding on A-UN thinking; I wonder if it was right for me to leave Kohaku behind, and is there something between me and Sesshomaru. I mean… I kissed him because I think I'm falling in love with him, sigh. But still maybe it was only a moment … a moment that is over.
Then there's Kohaku kiss. Do I feel this way because Kohaku expressed his true feelings to me and Sesshomaru offers nothing? But at the end I still left with Sesshomaru. I'm so confused.
Sesshomaru watches Rin as she stares off, and then turn his head feeling distant from her; this is the first time Sesshomaru felt any emotion as such and doesn't know how to handle it, so he do what he does best stay humble in appearance but ponder in his mind.
As the four of them walk along the cliff, from a far they see a woman who looks as if she's a puppet. When they come closer the demon woman puppet says "I was expecting you" I am called here to deliver a message. Sesshomaru your mother needs to see you immediately if not sooner. Rin look to Sesshomaru with a concerning voice asking, do you think it's a trap? Sesshomaru ignores her and tells them to stay behind.
Jaken developed foolish tears, but why me Lord I want to come with you. Sesshomaru glared at Jaken and said watch over Rin I will be back before sun breaks. Rin face turns blue, she couldn't believe he completely ignore her. Sesshomaru takes off with the demon puppet.
Rin watches him leave; well Sesshomaru was rude he didn't even answer my question. Jaken do you think he is angry with me? Jaken turns his nose up at Rin in a snobby way; he is not thinking of you Rin he has more important things to handle, the real question is why his mother wants him to pay a visit? Your right Jaken he's not worried about me, but still he didn't have to be rude.
"Back to Sesshomaru"
Sesshomaru flies through his Mother's palace entrance way that are above the clouds but below the moon, doors that are the length of 18 wheelers made with pure gold and diamond slashes, with two beautiful crystal male demons nude statues that are half the size of the doors. On each side of the entrance doors, the statues are holding gold tritons with a white opal sphere hovering over the triton. His Mother awaits him at the entrance. Sesshomaru landed right foot down first then the left pacing towards his mother.
"You finally arrived to my palace Sesshomaru; I didn't think you would come"
Why did you summon me Mother?
"Well you're straight to the point; I suppose there's no need to keep you in the dark. My time has finally come, I've lived on this earth for thousands of centuries, and even though my time felt unlimited or light years away but never the less everything comes to an end one day"
What's your point Mother?
"My point is Sesshomaru it's time for you to inherit me and your father's throne"
It's never that easy
Sesshomaru Mother Chuckles, my child not only are you arrogant and rude but I suppose a smart a** as well. This is true child you have to accomplish two things. I am aware Mimisenri informed you how to become emperor are I right? I mean why else would you go around slathering demons for their bones and making tree size demons your servants, my child you are beyond ruthless. She chuckles again, besides the struggle is over, there will be no need to do such dirty work, and maybe you'll be interested in another way.
Sesshomaru took interest to what she is saying as he absorbs his mother's words.
"Well you're unusually responsive," Sesshomaru in order to inherit our throne we need to be sure if you're worthy. Your father wants compassion I want strength."
Compassion
"Yes, that fool of a father of yours wishes you save one thousand humans but I want you to defeat Ryukotsusei and Bild-Shishiniki."
Sesshomaru smirks and turns his back to her beginning to walk away;- Mother they're dead, and there's no way in hell I'm saving one thousand humans, you mentioning that ridiculous jester is futile.
"Sesshomaru wait one second, Ryukotsusei is tormenting your father's grave, with plans on fighting him for all of eternally and Bild-Shishiniki is very much alive he escaped the underworld, and as far as humans goes, I'm only telling you this because I want you to rule this throne so at least consider it"
Sure Mother
Oh and Sesshomaru before you go I have a few gifts for you. One of my demon statues will lead you to Bild-Shishiniki, and then Sesshomaru Mother calls her servants to bring her a goblet. The servants come out with a small mahogany table with a thin narrow shire cloth lying across, placing the goblet down in front of Sesshomaru Mother; she cuts her finger squeezing the blood into the gold emerald goblet, Sesshomaru is interested in what she's about to do next. Here my son, if you drink this blood it will expand a demons life on earth for thousands of centuries but if a human drinks, it will definitely give the human a demon life span. Choose wisely. "Why do you provide this Mother?" Well Sesshomaru, you will be the last air, make it count. "Right Mother." Sesshomaru was ready to leap off into the clouds until his Mother said will you not stay the night, I mean you will rest before going into battle. Mother I need to for fill my words first. Her eyes grew; she didn't have any idea of what he was talking about.
"Back to Rin, Jaken and A-UN"`
Rin is sitting on the ground drawing with her arrow singing, - Sesshomaru your return supposed to be near, back before sunbreaks but the sky is almost sunless and your still not here- Jaken stares at her as he notice her voice has developed more beautiful when singing and then he tells her;
"Rin… shut that racked up I can't hear myself think"
Rin chunks a rock at his head, turns her back to him and buries her face in her knees to continue to sing. Jaken rubs his red lump until another rock hit him. He says okay I'm sorry Rin sheesh stop throwing rocks then Sesshomaru speaks, no, that was from me, evil eyeing Jaken because he witnessed him being unkind to Rin. Jaken bowed to him; I'm sorry me Lord. Sesshomaru ignores him informing them we sleep at his Mother's palace tonight so we could get plenty of rest because when sunrise we have much work need to be done.
Rin asks what type of work Sesshomaru, I mean I notice plans has change, your eyes are different as if their set on something other than what you plan. Sesshomaru gazes at Rin and says you're very attentive," Rin smiles" well I hope that's a good thing My Lord doing a curtsy with a sarcastic voice. Sesshomaru smirks and tells her don't mock me Rin. Rin grins. Sesshomaru takes off; "let's go."
