A Mysterious Calling

An Inuyasha Fanfiction from Miko-chan

The 'child' merely beamed up with a mysterious glint conveying deep within those bronze irises. Seshomaru tried to control his calm facade beneath his enraged emotions coursing inside of him. She merely paced slowly towards him, her soft giggles bearing his impatience to grow thin. The soft shuffles of feet came to a stop when she voiced out equally to the taller youkai.

"I am Rin. You can't force me out of here. I only sleep when her mind is still weak." her tone held strength of sincerity and truth, probably to assure him that she was truly telling what was going on. The youkai Lord merely glared at her, as if to bore a hole through her head to scorch the unwelcome intruder inside Rin's body. "Maybe I'm not her..." she faded out with a twirl of her finger for emphasis, " ... the Rin you knew, but you can call me her 'another' personality" She asked with much stronger facade in her determined eyes, "Understood?"

The toad youkai merely scratched his jaded head. Sesshomaru flickered his thumb to unsheathe slowly the Toukijin. 'Rin' already knew what was going under that silver mop of hair...

"If you try to kill us to release Rin from me and revive us using the Tenseiga, that won't work." The child shook her head in disbelief. Why it was to be her that should be the one to do this task? Where in the chaos would come when she was still confined to a young age? And in all of the threads of destiny, she must confide with the most powerful yet so annoyingly pompous Sesshomaru? (She can almost hear the overpowering vehement protest of the real Rin inside her chest...Darn, she's already getting back to herself. )Convincing these two creatures that she was also Rin is not easy as it seems. She never meant any harm, but to prevent it from coming. So, why do she have to endure such hardships? With a tiring audible sigh, she said with another disappointed shake of her head, "You had never known my ancestors, Sesshomaru-sama, how can you be sure that I am merely a village orphan?"

Sesshomaru was slightly from the question, his silence from any response giving him thoughts to ponder. He could not deny that fact. Even though that that the girl was his constant companion, he only know her from the beginning as a child who became mute with a traumatic experiences from her parents. If the girl really descended from something powerful or dangerous, she would never knew in her young age or the lack of information in her totally abusive past. The girl could never deceive her with such radiant dreamlike innocence.

It was time to clear up this inevitable event. "What do you need?"

"I am Rin, the last mage to defeat the evil in this world." Her auburn orbs began to slightly mix with crimson, "For this same purpose, I am forced to ask a favor from you Sesshomaru-sama."

Suddenly the disgusting kappa piped up, "You are already bordering out of your limits!" Jaken snorted disgustingly. "You were enough trouble in the start and you are already ordering Sesshomaru-sama around?! Outrageous!" Jaken jabbed a finger at her with an insolent look.

"It concerns the Western Lands, toad." She snapped with a glare of urgency and irritation. "Since Sesshomaru-sama is supposed to have the responsibility to protect this place, whom shall I address this to?" Her small brows creased in seriousness about the gravity of the subject.

"Western Lands involved? Ha! Making it up in Sesshomaru-sama's bidding" Jaken scampered to place his staff between his master and the ward. With a force of his grimy hands, he had set his crumpled face to burn her to ashes...

When Sesshomaru's claws, in a backhand swing, smacked him.

It was clear that the youkai lord was furious that this blabbering pipsqueak dared to interrupt this conversation. For now, his punishment will be settled by hurling this pathetic creature away as possible. Jaken finally realized this fatal mistake, when his skull crashed behind the crumbling rocks beside the river bank.

"Where is Rin right now?" The Youkai Lord inquired, a hint of warning coloring his voice while the toad lay unconscious on the soft, pale grass, contrast to the gray, withered boulders that accompanied the flower patch.

"Give me first your word that you would do this for the Western Lands and..." She trailed off, finishing with a pliant smile on her face. "...for her." With a curt nod from Sesshomaru, Rin's scent reverted back to the usual as the strange voice faded with the odd request passing out of her lips.

Bring the miko to me.

And after that, she blinked innocently. The glint shining in her dissipated, replaced with the warm greeting that lit her previous vacant eyes and clung to his pants with her adorable "Sesshomaru-sama!". Her face begun to crinkle in confusion, as to why did she seem to feel her limbs to bring a great deal of weight. And the gaze that Sesshomaru-sama was somehow unnerving...as if in a trance of befuddlement.

Little did she know, that she was right.



I really think this story is really getting sloooooooww....but I'll try to be faster since the next chapters would be a little fast (I think) since I have to improve myself on pacing. If there were solutions how to tame this little PC of mine then I could have solved my own problems in writing a fanfic...My sincere apologies for those who are waiting for this fic.
