Hey. Guess what!? I found out that my sis, Audrey, is reading my fic. Yay! She is one of my favorite sissys. She is so smart and pretty and nice and cool, just like my other fav sister, Heather. I have the best sisters in the whole world. Thank you Audrey. Love you, *hugs and kisses* to you and to Jordan. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ok here is chapter 14.
Sesshoumaru sighed and looked down at Rin. The child looked into his eyes, almost pleading. He looked up in the direction of the village and sighed again. He knew he had no choice. He would go to warn them either way. He looked down at the child again and picked her up.
He started towards the village, slowly at first but soon he recaught his frantic need to warn the humans and was running at top speed.
He stopped at the bridge that lead into the small town. He didn't know why but he was nervous. He had never been so before. It was then that he got Satsuna's scent. He swiftly churned his head in the direction that it came from. She was close. So close that Sesshoumaru could even hear her, she was speaking with somewon.
He sat Rin by the foot of the bridge and asked her to wait again.
"But why?" the little girl asked.
"Rin. Just do it for me."
The little girl loked at him indignantly but said nothing.
Finding her silence approving he ran towards Satsun's scent.
Sesshoumaru stopped about twenty feet away from the human, hidden behind a tree. She was gathering riverweed, a plant that grew in the banks of rivers and was used to ease the pain of sunburn.
The youkai lord caught his breath, Satsuna was singing. Whomever she had been speaking with was gone and now her bell-like voice hung in the air. She was singing a song that Sesshoumaru had once heard her sing to one of her paitients. It told the story of a man that loved a woman, who loved somwon eles, and how that man would still do anything for that woman just to see her happy.
Sesshoumaru remembered the first time he had heard her sing that song. It was the first time she has sang in front of him and he had asked her questions like, why would that man still want to see the woman happy when he couldn't have her?
Satsuna had laughed at Sesshoumaru's confusion and had answered 'Because he loved her. Sesshoumaru, don't you see when you love somewon it doesn't matter that you can't have them? Allthough it hurts to see them with somewon eles all that matters to you is that they're happy.'
Only now, as he listened longingly to her voice, did Sesshoumaru kind of understand what Satsuna had meant. He did want to see her happy, nothing eles mattered. It was too late for them anyway.
He breathed deep to ease the pain in his chest and walked out from his hiding place.
Satsuna looked up and gasped, causing her to drop all that she had gathered.
"S-Sesshoumaru!" she studdered in alarm, but quickly recovered herself, "What are you doing here?"
Sesshoumaru looked away unable to make eye-contact with the human. "I came to say-"
"Oh Sesshoumaru you don't have to be sorry." She told him, cutting the youkai off. Her expression showed no remorse for Sesshoumaru, in fact she had been smiling at him.
"Sorry? I did not come to tell you that."
"What!?" she said, surprised. Obviously she had expected an appology. Her expresion changed from surprise to anger in a matter of seconds, but then quickly went back to the smile that had resided on her face a few moments before.
"I said-"
"I know what you said! How could you not be sorry?" she was trying to hide it but many emotions were displaying themselves in her voice. She shook her head. "Well its no matter. I have something to say to you. I'm-"
But she was cut off by a call from behind her. She turned around and smiled.
All at once Matenue's scent came to Sesshoumaru's nose. He let a low growl escape his lips and glared at the human.
Matenue came running holding some kind of tool in his hands. He suddenly stopped, though, at the sight of Sesshoumaru. He returned the youkai's glare and walked the rest of the way to Satsuna's side.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, straining to his voice calm.
Sesshoumaru ignored him and looked to Satsuna who was looking from Sesshoumaru to Matenue frantically.
"Uh-um. As I was saying. Sesshoumaru I need to tell you that, well," she glanced nervously at Matenue. The human male was still glaring at Sesshoumaru. "Well," here she cleared her throat, "It was a good thing that you left, because, well, you see, it made me realize my true feelings for Matenue. I thought that I was in love with," she turned away and blushed furiously, "well . . ., you, but when you left I realized that it was Matenue that I truly cared for, so perhaps it was all for the best that you left." As she finished her speech she looked up at Sesshoumaru to see his reaction.
The youkai lord showed no change in expression, but inside he felt his heart rip apart. He slowly took a deep breath to calm himself, but felt another stab of pain as he watched Matenue slip his arm around Satsuna, and her giving the human a contented sigh in return. He knew that he had ruined what chance he had whith Satsuna but to see her with Matenue and to hear her deny her love for Sesshoumaru was to much for the youkai.
Matenue looked at Sesshoumaru. He no longer glared at the youkai but smirked triumphantly. "You know I can't see why you came back. Did you expect her to come crawling? You've done enough damage. Why don't you just go back to the slime pit you came from and I'll be gracious and not tell Satsuna's brothers you were here."
Sesshoumaru was about ready to pounce upon the human, but he had no want to hurt Satsuna. He tried his hardest to still the pain in his chest, and turned to walk away. He now fully understood the song for the pain subsided a little when he thought of Satsuna's happiness. Only for her would he not kill Matenue.
He walked the whole way back to Rin, almost unable to hold himself up against the pain. Lukily he met nowon on the way and was able to pick up the little girl and run off into the forest with no problems. Sesshoumaru had completely forgotten about warning the village.
