I Do Not Own Inuyasha
Chapter 14
Sesshomaru walked through the office, though his eyes scanned everything around him. He walked into the board room his father wished to use for this meeting and stalked straight to the window and stared at the lively city below him. His body tensed as he watched the life below him while waiting for his father, but he didn't reveal a single nerve. He didn't reveal anything as he stood there indifferently to the world around him.
Internally though his beast was going nuts with him. Old memories swirled through his head as faint scents trigged their release. They plagued him, haunted him, and sickened him as he stood at the window. It was the faint scents which always triggered the memories as he stood there impassively at the world. His eyes shut as he tried to block the memories and the world from him. But it didn't help, it would never help because there'd never be an escape.
The door opened.
"Sesshomaru."
He couldn't do this! Without thinking about the consequences he quickly made and exit without looking at his father as he hurriedly escaped the building. The horns and cars made him flinch when he hurried onto the street. A car nearly hit him, he quickly transformed and ran for his sanctuary because he could not deal with this! He did not wish to hurt anyone and he refused to be a monster as he raced towards his territory outside of the city.
He made to the boarder of his property and inhaled sharply letting the earth and forest scents wash over him to wipe away the memories which had been triggered from being in the city and in the crowds and in those kinds of scents. Walking away he walked slowly towards the manor in which he resided and wondered why he had even bothered to try to leave his home. He walked to the porch in his true form and Rin looked up at him with wide eyes then she smiled, he settled in the yard then.
She was his home, and he didn't want to leave her ever again.
For now that was enough.
Rin did not question Sesshomaru when he stretched out beside the porch as a giant white dog. Instead she leaned over and scratched behind his giant white ear in a way she would a pet. Not that she really ever had pets, Sesshomaru had been firm on that matter. No pets. She had him though and that was enough for her on even her most dire of days. And now she contently stretched out on Sesshomaru's back in the patch of sun light and continued reading her book.
The silence was peaceful.
He shifted forms, but in all honesty she didn't notice as his arm came around her and his nose was buried in her hair while he slept. And he was asleep, she knew because of how firmly he held her and how mokomoko snaked around her. But she didn't really care nor did she notice as she gave her silent support of him and read her book in silence. Not that she could make a sound even if she wanted too.
So instead of irritating her friend who's deep even breathing comforted her she let him be.
Shorter than I would like but it's been a really long day. =| I've been dragged from Kingdom Kong to Timbuktu and Hell and back today, sat in the most uncomfortable car imaginable too, and then came home for George to eat the same chapter of this four times. I GIVE UP! So you guys aren't being jipped, I'm just too tired to fight with George and honestly I might kill him if I have to keep rewriting this chapter!
Tomorrow I'll resume my war with him after I finish a favor I'm working on.
And if there's a homicide of a computer tomorrow it's not my fault, George is an ass! I HATE this computer!
That's all for now folks!
Night!
Enjoy Rain for Tears! =)
