Chapter 14. To Be or Not to Be

Rin's cry echoed throughout the Underworld onto the ears of a certain demon lord. Sesshomaru immediately turned and ran toward the direction of Rin's cry, but was blocked by a barrier put around the white mist.

"Admit it Sesshomaru!" Inu no Taisho shouted toward his son. "Admit it then she will be free."

The demons were coming closer and closer to the young Rin with each passing minute. The girl was struggling to keep her pace and soon tripped onto the ground. "Lord Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru stood silent and still. 'I love Rin?' he thought to himself. 'No. I do feel this affection for her.' Some part of him, however, knew that he was fooling himself. Sesshomaru built up so much conflict within himself that his red demon eyes had begun to show and his powerful demonic aura was swirling around him.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin cried into the white mist. The demon prince heard her cry a second time and lost his temper. Subconsciously, Sesshomaru flicked his wrist and out of his two fingers came his emerald green whip. He sliced across the barrier over and over again. Inu no Taisho wore a shocked expression on his wise face. He had never seen his son act in such a manner. It only proved to him more that Sesshomaru did indeed care for this girl.

The Lord of the West's mind was filled with confusion. He was beginning to doubt everything he believed. Questions came one after another causing him even more confusion, but underneath it all Sesshomaru knew that one thing was true. Underneath all of the arrogance and pride he knew that he indeed loved Rin. It was in that moment of truth that the barrier disappeared. Sesshomaru rushed through the thick, cloudy white mist without a second thought.

The vicious, bloodthirsty demons began to advance upon young Rin. The only thing she could do was close her eyes and wait for the unbearable pain to come. The next thing Rin knew she was flying. Warm air whipped across her face and strong pale hands hugged her close to a warm body. The adolescent looked up and gasped. He was everything she remembered him to be. Beautiful, silky silver hair flowed evenly in the wind. Two soft magenta lines rested underneath sparkling golden diamonds. A soft ocean blue crescent kissed the top of his forehead. Rin couldn't believe it. Her hands reached up and gingerly stroked her savior's magenta stripes. The angel looked down at her with kindness hidden in its eyes. It was really him, her guardian, her Sesshomaru.
