Three years. Three years since Sesshomaru had sacrificed himself for Rin.
And had she forgotten that?
Sometimes…..She wondered if she did.
High Mount had become her home. Ookami had taken the place of caretaker, of Sesshomaru's place. And she had fit in with the wolves of High Mount. She watched over the pups, and entertained all with her stories at night. That was her gift. Words flowed out of her mouth like pictures, and all who listened were captured in her stories.
And maybe for even days she was happy.
And then the dreams came. Dreams with skies of blood red clouds and grass of razor sharp glass. She would stand there in this world and laughter would slice through the silence like a blade. Laughter...Insane laughter…And then a tree would grow, its roots like wooden snakes, its branches wrapping tighter and tighter on her body. And on the base were carved words BETRAYAL in jagged letters. And then a voice cried out something, some muttled words but Rin always awoke before she could decipher the words, her body shaking and coated with sweat.
And then her mind wandered. Her stories were bland. She ate little, and her eyes always looked behind someone when she was talking, as if she was watching for someone. For the person who cried out, the person who seemed to have vital information that had tried so hard for her to hear.
And then the dreams left for a few days, and she was happy. Again her stories came to life and she chatted away happily with her wolf friends.
But her mind was never at ease.
And then came a day in which she broke. That day, the day her heart was shattered.
AN: Because I'm NICE! I will continue ^_ ^
The day was a nice one, really. A little overcast, buy the birds sang happily and the weather was nice. It was a day that Rin's mind was at ease. The dreams hadn't come for at least four days now.
And then there came aknockin' on the gatehouse door.
A scraggly woman with a bent leg hobbled in and said that she was seeking a good place to stay for the night., A good friends of hers had told her that the nearby wolves were hospitable and kind, and they had a mortal girl help them.
And they let her in.
And then there was a smashin'.
And the woman laughed as her form ripped apart and in her place stood a Kitsune warrior.
"Kitsune on the second floor!" Ookami yelled, taking his ruby sword out of its sheath.
But it was too late.
Blue flames licked hungrily at the green plants on the ledges. The stream below sizzled into steam and choked all that were near. Pups whined and cried, their parents scrambling to save them from the flames.
"Foolish wolves!" The Kitsune laughed as she rained upon them yet another bud of fire.
"WENCH!" Ookami leapt from his hiding place and swung his blade into the flesh of the Kitsune. Through her armor it pierced, and her blood stained the blade. An arrow then flew into the Kitsune's heart, it too piercing the dragon bone plates. But then the Kitsune turned around, wrenching herself from the blade.
"Die, mortal!" The Kitsune yelled, her eyes red with rage. She drew a dagger and threw it with deadly accuracy towards Rin.
"RIN!" Ookami flipped quickly in the air and put himself in front of the blade.
"NO! NO NO NO!" Rin screamed as the lifeless body of Ookami fell to the stream.
"YOU!" Rin growled, taking her bow and flipping it around the Kitsune's neck. "Now tell me. Before I kill you, who employed you?"
"Wh-What are you-"
"Kitsunes never had any grudges against this clan. Who sent you?"
"I..I don't know who its was. He…He was tall…"
"AND?"Rin screamed in the Kitsune's ear.
"And…And he had white hair and a crescent mark on his forehead and but one arm- kukkkya…." The bow tightened, and the Kitsune was silenced forever.
"Sesshomaru….sama…?"
DUM DUM DUM ! r/r!
