No Longer Human Chapter 21
A/N: I miss reviews…hint…hint
Merry Christmas by the way *love you all*
"YOU ARE ONE MAJOR ASS DOUCHEBAG! YOU… YOU SHOULD JUST… PERISH! HOW DARE YOU, YOU FILTHY DOG! GRAHHH!"
Rin clutched her feet to the ground and planted her butt in the dirt not caring about the drag from the rope around her wrists. The rope tightened by the sudden move and it caused the white haired demon to stop once again.
"I have to discuss your behavior with the priestess, stop that struggling it's to no use." Sesshomaru said with a surprisingly irritated voice as he continued to drag the almost naked Rin through the forest. And no, Sesshomaru had yet not become a pervert kidnaping a naked girl, he just didn't care. The reason she was only "almost naked" because she had managed to grab her skirt-ish cloth along the way and used it to cover herself. It didn't look like he cared if she was dressed or not, he was pissed. Sadly, the cloth didn't cover as much as it should have. Well he had already seen her naked anyway. Just let him be mad. That idiot.
"ME? I'M THE ONE "BISBEHAVING"? REALLY? WHO THE FUCK IS DRAGGING ME THROUGH THE FOREST BY A ROPE? WHILE I'M STILL REALLY KINDA NAKED?"
Sesshomaru growled lowly at her to signalize that she was on thin ice.
The red mark that still stung on Sesshomaru's chin looked big and embarrassing, and it was surprisingly pleasant to look at. That little Rin had the guts enough to actually leave a mark on the lord which didn't heal right away was not that bad. Not bad at all. It was obvious he tried to ignore it, but it was clear the demon's pride had sunken a few…dozen levels…
Rin huffed and fell forward as Sesshomaru begin walking again, causing the rope to drag her with him. He could growl all he want; Rin was not going down so easily.
"Huff! YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME! I'M EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD FOR GOD'S SAKE! I CAN DECIDE OVER MYSELF NOW! MAYBE IF YOU CAME BACK TWO YEARS AGO THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT, BUT YOU'RE TO LATE! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF AND I'VE PROVEN IT A COUPLE TIMES NOW! …I've even taken lives…"
She hoped he didn't hear that last part… Was that a twitch on his face? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to force her to tell about the men she killed?
"No!"
He didn't turn around. He kept on walking and ignored her outburst plus the last part, which she wasn't meant to say… Let's just pretend it never happened, okay? Good.
A simple stone at the side of the road was enough for Rin to hang on too. Her leg glued itself onto the stone and tried it's best to stay there. "Stop struggling!" He literally barked at her. He was losing his cool. Big time.
"NO!" Rin took control this time and used all of her strength to halt him. She glared at her former lord as he yet again turned around with a frown on his pretty face. "I said no! You can't control me anymore, Sesshomaru! I've been without you for three almost three years now and I don't need your "help" anymore!" She spit the word "help" out as if it was venom and gave him a glare that would challenge even his.
The demon decided to ignore her outburst and kept dragging her along the road. Soon, they would see the outskirt of the village and that would not be fun. Kaede wasn't healthy enough to be around this white haired douche. She huffed and cursed all the time, but nothing could stop the angry dog-demon. Not now.
"I have to do something…and quick!" Rin thought in panic as she suddenly remembered her new "skill". It would be very risky thinking what happened last time, with the…head and all, however, he was human. Sesshomaru was a demon. Would it work? She had to try…
Rin glanced on the demon in front of her. As she glared at the lord's back, she focused on what she had learned. If she could just break into his head, mess with him and escape…if just…
"Come on Rinny…you can do this! Enter his head, and you will have the access forever! Once you break in, there will be no locks for you anymore. It's time to give this engaged demon a lesson!" She thought and concentrated deeply.
"Burn...burn….burn...burn...burn…you're firing up…"
"BURN!" Her thoughts screamed.
A hoarse growl came through gritted teeth and fangs, as a strong hand firmly gripped Rin around her throat and pushed her to the ground.
"What…" Rin's voice came out like a half strangled whisper as her former lord, and also the man he was stupid enough to love, clutched his hand around her throat. The ground were hard and cold against her bare back, but the red eyes glaring down at her were even colder. Sesshomaru's demon side had almost awakened. His sharp teeth behind that big growl was scary. He had attacked her. Rin was scared. He had scared her… However, the pain that came right after was worse.
"…Oh…" Rin gasped between the pains in her head. Warm fluid streamed down from her ears and nose. It was blood. Rin was far too familiar with it; she didn't even have to look to know. "My power…it backfired?" Sesshomaru's strong-willed head had sent Rin's powers right back at her and now it all exploded inside her mind. His grip only hardened as Rin squirmed in pain beneath him, but he didn't care. His eyes returned to their normal color and he bowed down to whisper into Rin's bleeding ear.
"You disgust me! Your filthy scent…so sickening! It makes me sick from just being near you. You stench worse than a simple half demon!" He said as his grip tightened even more. Rin could still breathe, but the point was that he didn't want to kill her. He wanted her to feel his strength. He pushed her deeper and deeper into the dirty ground.
"Huh…? What did he just…say? Is that how he really feels? That I'm worse than a half demon. …But…when did he become so mean?!" He spoke low and harsh, but Rin could still hear him clear as day.
"Filthy…your smell is…disgusting! You and that sword of yours! He made you like this. He is among the lowest of low!"
Right there, at that second, you could hear Rin's patience break like a weak branch. He could speak low of her, he could spit on her self-esteem and he could punch her in the face, she wouldn't care, but speak bad about her best friend…he should start digging his own fucking grave!
"You…" Sesshomaru's eyes glare down at the girl beneath him as she begun trembling.
"….FUCKING ASSHOLE!"
Small hands shot up and pushed the demon straight off of her. Yes. Rin literally pushed the demon off her and he landed couple meters down the road.
The surprise in his eyes was huge as Rin stood up, eyes glowing red and watched her as she yelled at him to her heart's content. "You call me filthy? Have you seen yourself? Engaging yourself to a fucking bitch from whatever country and not caring that her former love "supposedly died" the moment before you "claimed" her? "It's for the peace" in my ass! You just want Rikku to suffer don't you? And to get someone to FUCK WHENEVER YOU WANT?"
Sesshomaru's shocked face faded quickly, but it did come to his surprise that Rin could use words like that. Even more…she knew Rikku's name…
Rin glared at him. She didn't need access to his head to know what he was thinking! She knew.
"Yes! I do know who Rikku is. You want to know why?" She took the lords glaring eyes as a "yes" as she ripped the cloth away from her cold naked body and the demon's eyes went straight down to the scar Rin hated so much. "You know who caused this? You did!" She pointed her finger at him and kept yelling. "Thanks to you, always being the high and mighty one, Rikku attacked me and my friends! Sango's child could've been lost! She was just accompanying us because it was a minor mission, but thanks to your mouth, the bastard nearly killed me! If I were still a human, I would look like THAT self-harmer with millions of cuts down my body! Luckily they all healed, except this scar!" She dried her eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to fall.
"I was lonely! I wanted friends and that's what Hibashi gave me! So, don't you fucking dare to say those horrible words about him ever again! Plus…" Rin stopped and gave him her killer-look. "I saw what you did in that mountain, slaying my younger body down without any remorse. And to think that you actually chose to make yourself stronger…Aren't you strong enough? You're going to let innocent people suffer from your greediness?"
She bowed her head in utter sadness. What had she become? Talking to her lord like that? And for him to look at her with those cruel eyes. Everything had changed to such a bitter ending. How could she even love him at the same time as she said and meant those evil words?
Next came the staring. He stared at her. She stared at him. Was he going to say anything? She had said enough.
Sesshomaru's eyes moved from her eyes, to her scar and then back to her multicolored eyes. There it was! He moved his feet. He walked closer and closer and closer.
Each step he took lasted like a million years it felt, and the moment he got inches away from her face and moved his mouth to speak, they smelled it.
Fresh blood and fire from nearby.
Rin froze more than she already had, thinking Sesshomaru would touch her lips if he got any inch closer. She knew that stench. She knew it perfectly well from all the houses burning down and all the people screaming for their lives as they die.
The village was under attack!
Fuck Sesshomaru! Rin's feelings for the man blocked out right away as she swiftly jumped out of his reach and down the forest road. As she ran, she placed the cloth she had into a more "appropriate" attire. Her blood poured through her pumping adrenaline. Why could her loved ones never live in peace? Why did her loved ones always have to suffer? Her feet drummed against the ground and she could feel Sesshomaru's aura behind her. Was he following her or the attack? Didn't matter now, she was in a hurry. She was stronger now; she could handle the bandits, so no more people had to die for her sake.
The scent became more and more disgusting at every inch she got closer to the village.
She…well…"they" passed tree after tree as the stench became more and more unbearable. Why was he following her anyway? Like he cared about the village…
Rin and Sesshomaru both jumped out of the forest at the same time and landed at the clearing. They had full sight on what happened below.
This wasn't bandits. The scent was different, but she knew it. Very good actually. Sesshomaru did too.
There he was, surrounded by an injured Inuyasha and Miroku. They clearly wasn't enough to stop the scarred demon and his "companions". His new scar given to him by Lady Yuuki had not healed and still made his ugly face even uglier. It was Rikku. It was Rikku with his companions that attacked the village. Where was Patrick? "Violet"? Kagome...Sango? Where were they? The houses were on fire and Inuyahsa and Miroku struggled to attack Rikku. Rin gasped loudly when she saw her hut, her home and it was...turned to nothing! It was gone, and the only thing left was some burned wood on the ground. If you listened cosely, you could hear the sound of Rin's heart breaking by the thought of her old priestess who laid there. She wasn't even strong enough to sit up. She couldn't have had a chance to get out!
"Rin!...Sesshomaru?" Inuyahsa shouted as he tried landing a hit on the demon. He failed miserably as one of the servants slammed him into the burning ruins. Rin covered her mouth in agony as her friend hit the fire. It must have hurt, by the was he screamed. Where was everyone?
Right then Rikku decided to turn around. His mocking scarred face smiled to them both as he turned his body around completely, showing them what he had in his arms. It was difficult to see between all the blood at first, but Rin had known that face for years. She had a...hole through her chest.
"…Kaede?"
A/N: DON'T KILL ME, IT'S CHRISTMAS! And yes, you will all probably hate me for this, but it will play a major role in Rin's progress. Merry f*****g Christmas everybody!
You can just leave a review as a Christmas gift, thank you!
(Evil bitch signing out.)
