Fukai Mori
Chapter 2: Running Away
A/N: hey! uhmmm....heres the next chapter! enjoy!
"I love her..." sesshomaru said. His eyes, as always, displayed no emotion, as well as his voice. Yet inside, he was a whirlwind of formerly frozen emotions springing to life. He looked at Rin as she lay, sleeping peacefully, quieted by his kiss. he didn't understand, though, he HATED humans. Rin was human. Sesshomaru knew she wasn't a normal human, but she still was human.
"I need to get out of here..." Sesshomaru stood up and took one last look at Rin. He would leave his outer robe for protection. If she had his scent with her, other demons would keep away. Sesshomaru then walked out of the cave into the darkness of night, never intending to see the little human again.

Rin woke up with a slight headache the next morning. She remembered her dream as well as a beautiful kiss. Rin hoped it wasn't just in her dream that that kiss had happened. She wondered what she was laying on and looked down, smiling as she saw Sesshomaru's robe with it's beautiful intricate designs.
"Speaking of Sesshomaru..." Rin said as she looked for the youkai. She got worried when she didn't see him. Then she remembered something from her dream. She had heard Sesshomaru saying he loved her and then saying he needed to get away. Rin got up quickly, throwing on the robe for warmth, and ran outside. she looked everywhere, but there was no sign of him.
"Sesshomaru..." Rin said weakly. She fell to her knees onto the warm ground. She knew his distaste for humans all too well.
"Is that why he left? It disgusted him that he could have feelings for me...? I drove him away..." Rin let her tears fall freely to the grass below. She couldn't give up, though, could she? She had to tell him she felt the same way. Rin stood up, wiping away her tears.
"That's right, I have to at least tell him I feel the same way...even if it only disgusts him more." With a determined look, Rin then headed toward the nearby town to see if anyone had spotted a long haired dog demon recently.

Sesshomaru walked along the grassy bank of a river, as he had been doing the whole night. He knew if he follwed the river, it would take him to his palace. There, he could stay forever, keeping Rin safe. It would be boring, and his reputation would be lost, but at least Rin would never have to suffer the shame of being loved by a demon. She could start a family of her own, and be happy, even if it meant Sesshomaru's own misery.
As he was walking, Sesshomaru noticed a patch of small white flowers. He stooped down to look at them, and remembered how Rin used to bring him flowers like that. She said she wanted him to smile. It never worked. He grabbed a handful and stuffed them in his pocket. He would put them in a vase later, so that he wouldn't be completely without anything of Rin's.
"This feeling....I've never felt it before. It feels as if I've been punched in the chest." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. It hurt badly.
"But...it's for the best." And Sesshomaru continued his trek toward his palace.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
"NO NO NOOOOO!!!!!" Rin shook her head vehemently for the third time."NOT Inuyasha!!!! Sesshomaru!!!" The old man looked at Rin wonderingly before walking off. Rin sighed, that had been the third person she'd asked, and he said the same thing as everyone else. That Inuyasha had been seen going to the old priestess Kaede's hut. Everyone knew Inuyasha. The only people that had ever seen Sesshomaru were dead.
"Except for me....and now I know why..." Rin stared sadly at the ground below. She walked dejectedly out of the small town, having been sorely dissapointed. Rin started toward the only place she supposed he would go: his palace. Rin had very little idea of where it was. She had only been there once, and that was when she was a little girl. all she remembered was that it was in the west.
As Rin was walking through a large forest, she saw a youkai. She stopped suddenly, remembering her last encounter with a youkai.She tried to be quiet, but it spotted her and started towards her. It was a female youkai, but looked nothing like it. It had large teeth and was mostly a gigantic brown THING on two legs.
"FRESH...FRESH MEAT..." It snarled, it's eyes glinting dangerously as it saw Rin. Rin stood still, afraid to move. As the youkai advanced on her, it stopped. It sniffed the air, growing worried. It then jolted forward and sniffed Rin, as she winced at the demon's breath. The demon suddenly jumped backward, as if she had been stung. She looked warily at Rin and retreated into the deep forest (fukai mori!! haha). Rin stared in wonder at the quckly fading form of the female demon.
She then looked at the robe she had put on, and her eyes misted over with unshed tears.
"Sesshomaru...even now, after you've abandoned me and hurt me like a deep wound, you insist on protecting me..." Rin grew angry. "Then why did you leave, dammit?!" rin looked up the blueness of the sky, which was partially covered by the canvases of the trees. She screamed to the wind, "Sesshomaru! You bastard!!!!" And fell in a weeping heap onto the forest floor.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Sesshomaru, meanwhile, was sitting on the edge of the river, staring at the water. He had grown bored of walking, and was watching the water in hopes of seeing a water youkai he could kill. Seeing none at the moment, he stood up, brushing off his clothes. Sesshomaru contunued walking again, but suddenly stopped as he smelt a familiar scent. He looked up, half hoping and half afraid, to see Rin. He was confused when he saw nothing but cherry blossoms. One drifted off it's branch onto his nose, and he smelled the familiar scent again.
"So that's it...I always wondered what she made her soap out of..." Sesshomaru plucked the blossom off his nose, and, smelling it one last time, let it go free to the wind. He watched as it drifted for awhile, but soon gave up and let itself fall into the water and drown.
"Let's hope, Rin, that you are not like the cherry blossom." Sesshomaru hoped that instead falling and dying, that Rin would continue to float on the wind until she could land softly. What Sesshomaru DIDN'T know, was that the cherry blossom was an ominous sign of bad things to come for the young woman.
