Summary Rin is humiliated
Rin could not have been more humiliated by her return in disgrace to the hut which she had left with Lord Sesshoumaru in triumph only days before. The very women who had seen beaming when she left now saw her in tears.
Rin blindly began to undress in the middle of the room. Sango and Kagome looked at each other They had never seen Rin like this. What could possibly have happened? Should they stay and console her or leave and allow her some space?
Finally Kagome asked Rin if they could help. By then Rin was sobbing helplessly in the twelve layers of the Juni-Hitoe. When they received no response, they said goodbye leaving Shiori and her mother with Rin.
Shiori walked over and sat down by Rin. Rin was such a happy person. What could have happened? Shiori offered Rin a cloth to dry her face and waited till the tears had been cried.
"What did Sesshoumaru do to you?"
Rin gasped " Lord Sesshoumaru is never wrong. Rin was a disgrace. Lord Sesshoumaru told Rin how to behave at the banquet, but Rin was clumsy and spilled wine on the guest of honor. The Juni-Hitoe which Lord Sesshoumaru bestowed on Rin was ruined. Lord Sesshoumaru was humiliated by Rin in front of the lords and ladies. Lord Sesshoumaru did not speak to Rin all the way home. Rin can never be the woman Lord Sesshoumaru wants her to be"
Shiori rocked Rin until she fell asleep in her arms. Men. They did not realize how hurtful their thoughtless words and actions could be to the women who loved them. Rin had been crushed by his behavior toward her. He should have carried more about Rin's feelings and less about his guests and the damn kimono.
