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.
