Sesshosama meets a girl (not Rin)
She awoke in a strange room, and was instantly awake. She hadn't spent two months in the weird Feudal Era to not learn to be alert. She noticed that it was cold, and blamed the open window immediately. She stood, looking cautiously at her surroundings, and shut the window. She looked through it with amazement as she saw the immense gardens that surrounded the castle. She turned away only to gasp and turn back again.
'CASTLE?! Now what the--' her though was cut short by how the moon shone on the fountain in the middle. Deciding to see the gardens, but still rather tired (she hadn't really SLEPT for a month and a half.) and slowly opened the door. She looked both ways down the corridor before stepping out. As her train of thought ran along the tracks of WHAT the heck she was doing here, something tugged at her skirt. She whirled around and got into a "defense" stance she learned in her martial art classes. She sighed with relief when she saw it was the little girl from the cave.
"Hello." She told Rin pleasantly before remembering that the girl was traveling with that weird demon-guy that with the tail.
"Hi. I'm Rin. I'm supposed to be in bed but I couldn't sleep and when I decided to explore I saw you here so I wanted to talk to you since I couldn't yesterday." The Rin-girl babbled endlessly about flowers and kept mentioning a Sesshomaru-sama and a Jaken. She noted that Rin didn't seem to like Jaken but adored Sesshomaru-sama. 'Then the guy who attacked me must be Jaken, considering his hostile attitude,' she thought until Rin said that she was sorry that Sesshomaru hurt her yesterday.
"What's your name?" Rin finally asked, pleased with herself for telling this strange girl about her loving Sesshomaruu-sama.
"My name? Oh, Lynomi."
Rin beamed. "Nice to meet you, Lee-noe-mee." She turned the word over in her mouth, and frowned. Seeing her sour face, Lynomi laughed and said, "You can call me Nomi-chan if you like."
Rin smiled again, and Lynomi felt like she was already attached to the laughing little girl. "You can call me Rin-chan!"
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru watched from the shadows. So this weird girl, who seemed to be from the future, had the name of Lynomi? Hmm. He chose that moment to step from the shadows, and Rin smiled broadly and ran over and hugged him.
"Rin, it's long since past your bed-time." He said gently.
Rin looked sad, but said, "Hai, Sesshomaru-sama. May Nomi-chan and me play in the gardens tomorrow?"
"Maybe." His tone was gentle, but left no room for argument. Rin just smiled and waved to Lynomi while heading off to her room.
"You've got a lot of nerve, bringing me here like that. Who do you think you are?" Lynomi glared at her captor, who's face, of course, remained deadpan.
"I'm Lord Sesshomaru, ruler of the Western Lands." He gauged her reaction.
She wasn't impressed. "Is that some fancy way of telling me all the other Western inhabitants left long ago?"
He narrowed his eyes, which betrayed his face by showing his anger at the insult. He regained his composure and said simply, "Where and how did you get that shard?"
She shrugged. "Friend gave it to me."
"Who's your friend?"
She gave him one of her looks. He remained unfazed. "You probably don't know her."
"Who?" He tried to sound like he didn't care.
"Kagome. What's it matter? It's mine and I'm sick of you weird things trying to steal it. And where the heck did all the snake-youkais come from?"
Sesshomaru stared at her, but asked the question as if he wasn't impressed. "How many youkai have you killed?"
"Gee, I guess maybe fifteen or so. I woulda killed more, but I've only been here for two months so stop giving me that look. I'm SORRY if I couldn't kill more. Jeez. I also injured three. One was some weird centipede thing, one a strange deformed lizard thing, and a guy with dog ears. The dog-freak tried to kill me with some crummy beat up sword."
He stared at her, but not because she hadn't killed enough youkai for his liking. Rather, he was stunned she had held out this long. Not to mention the mention of a certain guy with dog ears. "This dog-hanyou, did he have companions with him?"
"No, it was kinda late maybe they were sleeping elsewhere. Speaking of which, since you offered me this bed, I'll go to sleep now." His questions were making him uncomfortable. "'Night."
He didn't want her to leave, because he was curious as to how she beat his brother. Even that pathetic hanyou was pretty strong. He could understand why his brother's sword wouldn't work. Lynomi wasn't youkai and wasn't endangering anyone. He vowed to corner her later and finish his questions, but for now he went to his study and tried to sort it all out to the best of his knowledge. Obviously the girl was strong, or at least smart, to fight off almost twenty youkai. How she did that he did not know, though he sensed that she had some powers. His eyes widened. A miko? But she's from the future. She couldn't…could she?
Lynomi plopped into the bed, grateful for the stop of uneasy questions. She was certain this Sesshomaru guy was after a certain piece of information, but he wasn't going to get anything from HER. 'No,' she thought as blessful sleep claimed her. 'my mouth remains shut about anything along those lines.'
Lynomi was forced awake by something bouncing on her bed.
"Nomi-chan! Time to eat breakfast!" yelled Rin, breathing slightly hard from her strenuous bouncing.
"OKAY I'm up. I'm up!" Lynomi laughed and tackled Rin, tickling her.
"Nomi-chan! STOOOOP!" Rin gasped between laughter.
Lynomi laughed and let Rin up. Rin grinned and yelled, "Beat you to dining hall!" as she disappeared around the corner.
She had to jog to keep in sight of Rin, but stayed behind because Rin knew the way. Luckily, Lynomi was in pretty good shape and by the time the brief jig was over, she was hardly breathing hard. Rin on the other hand, collapsed on a chair and gasped, "I…win!"
"Yep. You really gave me a run for my money, kid." Lynomi patted her head, and sat down next to her, on the opposite side of the head of the table. She assumed that's where Sesshomaru was sitting.
Rin looked confused. "Run for my--?"
"Nevermind." Lynomi laughed, thinking Rin was just adorable. "It means you're really good."
"Oh."
Lynomi smiled again, thinking it was hard not to when Rin was around. It took her a couple of seconds to realize that a toad-like monster was sitting across from Rin.
"Good morning, Jaken!" Rin yelled happily at him, only earning a grunt in return.
'Ew. So that's Jaken, ne? ugly little thing.' Lynomi thought with distaste, but was careful to keep her face deadpan, so as not to have another angry demon around.
While Lynomi was pondering this, food had somehow appeared on the table, and Jaken and Rin were happily eating. She took a bite, concluded that this was good, and started eating. She remembered her manners, although she was eating pretty quickly. She hadn't had a decent meal in two months.
"I take it you're enjoying the food?" asked a smooth silky voice from directly behind her, causing her to choke on her mouthful.
"Uh, yeah," she said uncertainly after she swallowed. This guy was creeping her out.
"Good," Sesshomaru purred and took his spot at the head. 'What a creep,' Lynomi thought, wrinkling her nose the slightest bit.
Sesshomaru saw her wrinkle it, and asked in a quiet voice edged with steel, "Something wrong?"
Raised to be honest, she shrugged and replied, "Yeah. You're undoubtedly the weirdest, creepiest guy I've ever met. Including that weird slimy lizard youkai." She saw him stiffen with rage, and smiled inwardly.
"Considering my high status, do you not think that you should mind your manners?" he asked cooly.
"Considering you kidnapped me to question me about my necklace, how about…no?"
"I'm merely offering you a place to stay."
"Okay, after you attacked me in my cave and knocked me out, suddenly I'm a guest. Thanks for the bed and breakfast, Fluffy, but I'm going home." She got up and turned to leave, but something again pulled her skirt.
"Nomi-chan? Are you really leaving?" asked Rin, eyes turning all dewy.
Sesshomaru merely smiled when Lynomi glared at him. "No fair bringing cute little kids into our argument." Sesshomaru shrugged. But he grinned inside when she sighed resignedly and sat down to resume eating.
