Chapter 25
Love stories
Little side note before we dive in the story here. Rin is extremely weak right now, weaker than when she fought Naraku. This is because the connection between her and Sesshomaru is so strong it caused an immense physical, mental, and emotional toll on her body to be away from him for so long. So she's kinda stuck in her smaller form until she regains all of her power. Sorry about that :X to the story!
"Are you comfortable Rin?" Sesshomaru says resituating monomoko around me.
"Yeah." I say softly nuzzling my snout against the warm fur.
I missed this.
"Are you hungry?" Sesshomaru says.
"A little."
"Here." Sesshomaru moves the fur just enough to place a piece of soft meat in front of me.
I yip and chew it carefully so as not to upset my delicate stomach before sighing and snuggling up.
After Sesshomaru had found Cyim and I in the arctic he hadn't left my side. He was surprisingly gentle and nurturing while I was regaining my strength. Cyim was recovering wonderfully in a demon hospital while Sesshomaru had insisted to take care of me.
Speaking of Cyim…
"Lord Sesshomaru when can we go see Cyim?" I say nosing the fur out of the way so I sat near his ear.
Sesshomaru ear twitches before he turned to look at me.
He gently unwraps the fur around me and cradles me in his arms like a baby.
"We can see her today if you like, but only if you take your medicine." Sesshomaru says arching an eyebrow.
I stick my tongue out and groan.
"That medicine Terai gave me is so gross!" I whine.
"You need to take it to regain your strength. Either take it or we don't see Cyim." Sesshomaru says lifting me so I touched his nose.
I grumbled but dropped eye contact.
"Fine." I say.
Sesshomaru nods and grabs the bottle of pills Terai had given me.
He unscrews the lid and takes two pills out.
"Open." Sesshomaru says closing the bottle and holding the green pills out.
I pretend to gag but open my mouth and allow him to drop both the pills on my mouth.
"Gross. They taste like seaweed." I say shuddering.
"Good. Now we may depart." Sesshomaru says nodding.
He tucks me away in his fur and begins the descent from the apartment to the taxi downstairs.
My stomach flipped as the elevator groaned to life and dropped the sixty flights to the ground.
Sesshomaru felt my queasiness and let monomoko rock slightly.
Purring I bury my snout in the soft white fur again before taking a short nap.
"Rin, we have arrived." Sesshomaru says gently shaking me awake.
I open my eyes and let out a jaw splitting yawn before I noticed I was curled up in Sesshomaru's arms.
His aura was tense and whenever a demon nurse would stare for to long his hackles would raise and cause him to growl.
"Lord Sesshomaru are you okay?" I say looking up at him sleepily.
"Yes." He says curtly.
I shrug and tuck my paws closer to myself before I catch Cyim's scent.
"Oh oh! Over there!" I yip happily.
I try and float out of Sesshomaru's arms but only succeed in flipping out.
I would have hit the floor if Sesshomaru wouldn't have grabbed me with demonic speed.
"I'm sorry my lord, I'm not used to being this weak." I say as Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at me.
"You are alright, just do not try it again." Sesshomaru says holding me closer before rapping lightly on the door.
"Come in mutt." Cyim says.
Sesshomaru opens the door to a sight I'm much to familiar with for my own tastes.
Cyim was laying on a hospital bed with a few monitors hooked up an a steady iv drip filled with a green liquid.
"Rin! Why are you always so small." Cyim says as Sesshomaru gently places me on the bed.
I stand up and very shakily make my way up to Cyim's arms.
Collapsing in her embrace I pant as the small journey had exhausted me.
"Nice. At least you can walk, I'm still stuck here." Cyim says complaining.
I whimper and nuzzle her chin and lick her nose.
"I know you're sorry Rin. But at least we're home now, and we're safe." Cyim says petting me.
I chuckle and yawn.
"Oh no, you don't get to sleep. I have to tell you about Shantik, he called yesterday." Cyim says beginning to launch into a large story about how dreamy he was.
My eyelids closed on their own as I fell asleep listening to Cyim's story.
I was woken up by Sesshomaru lifting me from a sleeping Cyim's arms and carrying me outside.
"Do we have to leave?" I say sleepily.
"Yes. You require more rest." Sesshomaru says stroking my head making me purr.
"Kay." I murmur before falling asleep again.
I know I know super short chapter, suuuuuper short chapter. But I recently got a new job so I'm trying to adjust my sleeping patterns entirely. Going from third shift to first is throwing me off pretty bad.
But I cannot thank you guys enough for being so patient with me during this weird time. Updates are awkward right now and I'm really trying to keep two updates a week consistent.
Speaking of updates we're going to flip flop them from A.M to P.M central time. So around seven or eight at night I'll have them updated. But for the first week or so updates might stay short or sparse while I try and adjust.
So thank you thank you for staying with me on this wild ride, you guys are amazing and appreciate and love every single one of you 3
Toodles :3
