Hi everyone!!! This is my first Inuyasha fic. I just love Rin and Sesshomaru it's so cool
he takes care of her and stuff I think it's sweet. Well n e ways I hope you guys like this. Disclaimers yada yada yada. I HAVE IY ANIME UP TO 24 MWAAHHHAA AND THE SEASON IS ALMOST DONE. I think it'll stop at 26 but have a 2nd
season. But that's just my
prediction. ^_^ please r+r and tell me if I a sucky writer
or sumtin.
Rin sat by the river, dejectedly
sticking her foot in it and letting the cool water wash over her foot. It was her 8th birthday and
Sesshomaru wasn't here. She had conned
Jaken into letting her go to the river by the castle, by complaining and
whining about how hot it was and saying that Sesshomaru wouldn't want her
dirty. Much as she seemed to dislike
him, Jaken was sort of a big brother to her.
Yeah they constantly fought, argued, and yelled at each other, he always
looked out for her. Rin heard a sound
behind her and saw a figure walking towards her. There was only one person who looked like that.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin yelled as she ran towards him. As she neared him she tripped on a
protruding root on the ground and tumbled into Jaken, who was by Sesshomaru's
side. "Get off me you little
brat!" Jaken yelled as he and Rin tumbled
into a heap. Sesshomaru used one claw
to pick Rin up by the back of her shirt.
Rin dangled from one claw and was grinning goofily at sesshomaru. "Ohaiyo Sesshomaru-sama!" she said.
She started to swing on his claw.
Once she had enough momentum she threw herself onto Sesshomaru, to hug
him. The back of her shirt ripped but
Sesshomaru caught her with his other hand before she could hit him and make him
fall. "Rin. You could have made me fall."
He admonished. Rin looked down
dejectedly. "Gomen Sesshomaru
sama." She said dejectedly. Sesshomaru let a little grin show on his
face as he saw her repentant guilty face.
He quickly wiped the smile off of his face, "It's ok Rin. Just don't do it again." He said.
Rin jerked her head up to see if he was angry. After seeing he wasn't, a big smile spread over her face. "Now go play with Jaken." He said, turning back towards the castle. "Iie I don't want to play with Jaken. I want to play with Sesshomaru-sama." She said adamantly. "Don't show so much disrespect to
Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken said, shaking
his staff at her. Rin hid behind
Sesshomaru, before Jaken could bop her on the head with that staff. "Why should I play with you?" Sesshomaru asked in an amused voice. "Cuz it's my birthday." Rin said importantly as though that said it
all. "Hai hai. Go change your shirt, and we'll go
play." Sesshomaru said, with a small
grin. "Honto?!" Rin asked excitedly. "Hai hai."
He replied. Rin took off
excitedly for the castle.
"Sesshomaru-sama." Jaken asked hesitantly. "Yes Jaken." He asked. "Is there a
special reason why you're taking her out?"
he asked. "It's her birthday
Jaken." Sesshomaru replied. "But there's more. Isn't there my lord."
Jaken asked seriously.
"Yes. Actually Jaken I want you
to stay here at the castle. I heard of
some youkai coming to attack. I'll
bring Rin down to a village and leave her there. I don't want to risk her getting eaten, and seeing all that
bloodshed." "Demo, Sesshomaru-sama, do
u think it's real safe to leave her by herself. And she has already seen a lot of bloodshed." Jaken asked. "With all those villagers around it's highly unlikely that she
will get into a lot of trouble."
Sesshomaru said.
"Sesshomaru-sama
I'm ready!" Rin called out, as she
bounded toward the dog demon. "Rin
don't you have any better clothes?"
Sesshomaru asked with a frown, as he looked at her ragged appearance. "Gomen ne Sesshomaru this is my only other
set of clothes. "Rin I'm going to take
you to a village near here what do you say about that? Then you can get some clothes there." Sesshomaru said. "It'll be fun as long as you're around." Rin replied. "Jaken do you want to come?"
Rin asked hesitantly. "Why would
I want to go with a brat like you." Jaken
said with a humph and turned away. "I
was just trying to be nice." Rin said
angrily. She turned her head snootily. "Let's go Sesshomaru-sama." She said, a bit miffed. "Matte."
Jaken cried as they were about to leave. "What do you want now frog brain?" Rin asked. Jaken through
a little box at her. "Happy
Birthday." He said gruffly and turned
back towards the castle. Rin opened the
box and found a pair of butterfly hair clips, that glittered in the sun and
who's wings moved as the breeze blew them.
"Wahhh sugoii! Arigatou
Jaken." Rin called out happily. Jaken turned around and gave a slight
nod. "Ano Jaken r u sure u don't want
to come?" she asked, still overjoyed at
the beautiful hairclips. "Yeah. I don't want to hang out with you." He replied gruffly. Rin looked slightly crestfallen but
Sesshomaru picked her up and they both went flying towards the village. Jaken looked wistfully after them. He wished he could go, after all they were
like family.
Rin and
Sesshomaru landed a short way from the village. They walked through the village, Rin dashing to and from vendors
and shops, while Sesshomaru watched her with a slightly amused smile on his
face. The villagers gave them a wide
berth, not wanting to make the youkai angry.
Sesshomaru saw Rin looking wistfully at some candy and made his way over
to her. He pulled some money out of his
robes and handed them to the vendor. "3
of those." He said pointing to some
rock candy. "3?" Rin asked.
"Yes. One for you one for me and
one for Jaken." Sesshomaru
replied. "Honto?! You're the best Sesshomaru-sama." Rin cried, throwing her arms around
him. "Rin, I'm going to go back and
give Jaken his candy." Sesshomaru said
softly. "Demo Sessh-- O I guess, after all Jaken did give me those
hairclips." She said. "But, this is your birthday present." Sesshomaru said. He took a beautiful, multicolored bag out of his robes. "Kirei!"
Rin said. "Open it." he said gently. She opened it and inside was full of money. "Go buy whatever you want." He said and took off, leaving Rin
behind. "Arigatou." Rin called after him, waving her arms
wildly.
Rin went
from shop to shop gathering little things that she wanted. The shop owners were very nice. She had everything for everyone. Even though it was her birthday money she
had bought lots of candy for everyone to share at the castle, she had bought
Jaken a new hat, and after much thought over the perfect present she finally
found a shop with a perfect jade necklace.
The jade was a dark forest green and glowed like the moon. Each stone seemed to contain a light of it's
own. The stones looked like they were
randomly cut, each stone being different.
But its smooth texture and beauty diminished its imperfections, though
some wouldn't call the cutting imperfect but rather art. Rin happily walked happily down the street,
swinging her now almost empty bag. She
found a broken mirror on the ground and picked it up. She looked at her reflection with a bit of distaste. She reached into her bag and pulled out the
2 exquisite hairclips that Jaken had given her and put them on. She turned her head from side to side,
admiring how they looked. She stuffed
the bag into her clothes and walked down the street, admiring the beautiful
items in the shops. Two men came up to
her and grabbed her arms.
"Well what do we have here?" one of them sneered. "Let's take this one. I don't think anyone would miss a streetrat
like her." the other one said with a
wry grin. "I'm not a street rat!!" Rin said, struggling against the men's
strong grips. "I say we sell her to
that youkai in the next village so he can eat her or we can sell her with some
of the other kids to that other man who wanted some slaves." One said as he dragged her along the
streets. "Tasukete!" she called out to the villagers. "Shut up."
One of them said sharply. He
turned and smiled at the villagers,
"she stole some money from us and so we're bringing her back to work off
all that was lost." The villagers
turned away from them and went about their business. "Next time you pull a stunt like that I'll kill you." One of the men said threateningly, pulling
out a knife. Rin continued to struggle
and in the midst of all this one hairclip fell down.
They walked to the outskirts of
town and he shoved her into a cage, in a boat.
"Lemme out! Sesshomaru-sama will
get you back for this!" Rin yelled
helplessly. "Ahh shut up." The man said with a small laugh and
left. Rin yelled out curses that she'd
learned from Jaken after the men. "You
got a pretty sharp tongue." A voice
said. "Who said that?" Rin asked as she looked around. All around her were cages with little boys
and girls. "What are all of you doing
here?" she asked. "Same as you. Those men took us cause we're all orphans and live on the street
so no one would really notice if we were gone." The same voice said. "Who
are you?" Rin asked. "I'm right above you." The boy answered and a small hand came down
in front of her cage. "I'm Rin what's
your name?" she asked, shaking the
hand. "I'm Kouga." The boy said. "So Kouga-kun how do we get out of here." Rin asked.
"We can't it's virtually impossible.
I mean if we can get out of the cages most of us would probably be able
to get away since there's only 3 men. But
the problem is the cages, our arms are too short to reach the locks." He said in a sad tone. Rin looked around at her surroundings, and
in her mind she started to devise a plan.
"Don't worry I just might have a plan."
She said.
"Sesshomaru-sama wait up." Jaken called as he tried to keep up with his
lord. "I have a bad feeling right now
about Rin." Sesshomaru said, increasing
his pace. "Rin is fine. You're just worrying about that stupid human
too much." Jaken said. Suddenly he was lifted off the ground. "Me, worried about a human, yeah right. I don't care about humans" Sesshomaru said. "Demo—" Jaken said, but
was suddenly thrown back to the ground.
"Jaken are you questioning me?"
Sesshomaru asked in a calm but deadly voice. "Iie." Jaken said
frightened slightly. "Good." He said as he continued to walk toward the
village but now at a more sedate pace.
Sesshomaru and Jaken walked through
the entire village but couldn't find Rin, and every villager they met just
scurried off, frightened.
"Sesshomaru-sama are you sure this is the right place?" Jaken asked hesitantly. "Of course I'm sure." He replied exasperatedly. Jaken covered his head, expecting to be
hit. He looked up, when nothing
happened and found Sesshomaru bending to pick something out of the dirt. "What is it Sesshomaru-sama?" he asked, hurrying over. "It's Rin's hairclip." Sesshomaru said, clenching his hand over the
object, but careful not to damage the delicate ornament. "Nani??!
She should have been more careful with it." Jaken said, indignantly.
"I think something happened to her."
Sesshomaru said. He sniffed the
air. "I think I can pick up her trail,
thought it's a few hours old." He said,
as he followed Rin's scent.
Rin was in one of the cages that
were near the bottom. She ran against
the bars of her cage, causing her whole row to shudder. She ran against it again, ignoring the pain
in her arm, which was being hit continuously as she rammed into the bars. After the first 10 times the cages began to sway
and the cages above her and her cage fell to the ground. The other children let out a pained
oomf. Rin reached out of her cage and
unlocked the cage nearest to her. A
little wolf youkai crawled out.
"Thanks." He said, as he
unlocked her cage. The other children
were also getting the idea and unlocking each other's cages. There were at least 100 children here. "Are you Kouga-kun?" Rin asked uncertainly. "Hai."
He said with a smile. Finally
all the children were free. Everyone
was chatting excitedly. "Everyone be
quiet!" Rin yelled. The kids all quieted down. "We have to get out of here, I'll go first
and make sure that the men aren't coming."
She said. One of the older boys
stepped out. "How do we know you're not
going to tip them off?" he asked
importantly. Kouga suddenly had a claw
underneath his neck. The boy looked
frightened and backed off. "Minna, Rin
has freed all of us. I think she's
trustworthy" he said, with eyes glinting.
Rin tiptoed out, using all the
skill she used to sneak up on Jaken and Sesshomaru, though Sesshomaru always
caught her. She hid behind some packs
and peeked out. The 2 men were coming
back. She made her way back to the room
where the kids were but spotted a third man, sleeping on the deck. There was something weird with him but she
couldn't quite place what. She crawled
on her belly back into the room and whispered to the kids, "There's a man
outside sleeping and the other 2 r coming back. If u all crawl and jump out into the river on the other side then
none of them should be able to see you and if they do then let the current take
you down and far away." She said.
"Everyone take a buddy with them.
And the younger kids pair up with the bigger ones because it might b
dangerous in the river." She
ordered. She crawled outside and peeked
over the side of a pile of hay. She
motioned for the 1st pair to go.
Faint splashes could b heard but not enough to wake the man on the
deck. She motioned for the next pair,
and on and on until there was only her and one other left.
"Okay you,
let's go." She said as she turned
around. She was surprised to see Kouga
standing there. "What are you doing?" she hissed.
"I needed a buddy." He
shrugged. "Fine let's go." She said and they both belly crawled to the
other side of the boat. "What's
this?" a man said as he picked the pair
up. Rin gasped as she realized that the
man on the deck had woken up. She
stared into his eyes, they were cold and un normal. "Let us go!" she
said. The man laughed as if that was
the funniest thing in the world. "How
did you get out?" he said as he carried
them back to the cage room. He dropped
them in surprise as he stared at the empty room. Rin and Kouga made a dash for the side of the boat and was about
to jump over, when something wrapped around them. "A spider youkai!" she
spat as she was brought back to the man.
The 2 other men ran over. "What
happened? Where's all the kids?" they
yelled. "These two let them out. I think.
I think I'll have these 2 for a snack.
I think I'll eat the girl slowly, severing each limb and eating them
separately." The spider youkai said,
licking his slips. "Teme!" Kouga yelled and he strained his arms and
broke the thin strands surrounding him.
The youkai's looked at Kouga, with a gaping mouth. "How did you break through my strands? You're only a kid, not to mention a half
breed." The youkai said with a distasting
tone. Kouga cut Rin's bonds and she fell to the floor,
getting the sticky strands off of her.
She saw the 2 humans come at her, while Kouga went after the spider
youkai. She threw the nearest thing to
her at the men. She was rewarded with a
pained oomph and a thud on the deck.
The other man, however was still coming after her. He grabbed her by the shirt and held her
up. "If you want her to live then stop
fighting!" he ordered to the wolf
cub. Kouga paused for a second, and
gave the spider youkai a chance to wrap him around with his string. Rin saw a blur, and in a second the man
holding her was on the floor, blood gurgling out of his wounds. The other human soon shared the same fate, 5
claw wounds on his chest. Sesshomaru
stood on the deck, blood dripping from his claws.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin said, running to him. Sesshomaru raised his hand to stop her. "Stay there, you'd only get in my way." He said coldly. "Who are you?" the spider
youkai asked in fright. Sesshomaru
didn't answer him and instead sliced at him, cutting the other youkai's head
off. "Don't question me." He said to the twitching form. Kouga tried to get out of the spider's
threads but was unsuccessful. Rin moved
to help him but Sesshomaru motioned her to stop. He walked over to Kouga and picked him up. Rin gasped as he threw Kouga overboard. "Kouga-kun!" she yelled as she ran to the edge. "Rin!" he called, as he
tried to keep his head above the water.
Rin almost jumped in to help him but Sesshomaru caught her and carried
her to the village. Jaken stood there,
in a pile of dead bodies. "Jaken what
did you do?" Rin asked as she hurried
over to the frog-like demon. "They
wouldn't tell me where you were." He
said, motioning to the frightened townspeople.
"Let's go." Sesshomaru said
abruptly, and the trio left the town.
"Ano Sesshomaru-sama" Rin said,
hesitating. "Hai Rin?" Sesshomaru acknowledged. She held out the jade necklace that she had
carefully hidden. "I bought this for
you." She said shyly. "Ahh arigatou," he said with an approving smile as he looked at the necklace. Rin rummaged in her bag. "And this is for you Jaken." She said proudly as she held out the hat she
had bought. "Arigatou Rin." Jaken said, a bit grudgingly, but she could
tell he was happy. Sesshomaru took out
her butterfly clip. "You dropped
this." He said gruffly. "Arigatou Sesshomaru-sama." She said happily as she took the
ornament.
5 years later
"Rin! Quit playing out there and come take your
lessons!" Jaken yelled. A 13 year old Rin, quickly crouched down
behind the tall flowers she had recently been looking at. "Rin!"
Jaken yelled again. "If you
don't I'll tell Sesshomaru-sama that you've been avoiding lessons again." He threatened. Rin sighed and stood up.
"Fine fine, you got me." She
muttered. She hated all this writing and
lady like graces, that Sesshomaru insisted she must learn if she ever had a
mate. "Why do I even have to learn all
this." She muttered as she passed Jaken
into the castle. Jaken shook his staff
at her. "All ladies have to know this
stuff." He said. "Well what if I don't want to be a
lady." Rin argued. "Why can't I learn to fight instead. Then I can protect myself when youkai come." She complained. "Women shouldn't learn to fight." Jaken said gruffly.
Sesshomaru
came staggering into the castle, with a big gash in his side. "Jaken, get Rin and let's leave." He gasped.
Rin gasped as she saw the blood on his robe. "Sesshomaru-sama your hurt."
She said as she ran to get medicine.
"No time for that." He
said. "Let's go, leave
everything." He said as he herded them
out the door. He grabbed Rin and Jaken,
and flew up into the air. They finally
landed in a small village. Sesshomaru
banged on a door. A black haired girl
in her 20's opened it. She gasped and
called for someone. "INUYASHA! SESSHOMARU IS HERE!" she yelled in a frightened voice. A white haired blur blurred past them as a
dog demon appeared between them and the girl.
"What do you want?" he
growled. Sesshomaru winced as he
touched his side. The girl's eyes
widened. "Inuyasha, he's hurt. Come in I'll help you treat it." she said.
"I don't need your help human."
Sesshomaru sneered. His tone softened, "But I do need you to do a favor." He said softly. "We're not doing anything for you." The white haired dog demon shouted. Rin couldn't take it anymore.
"Don't talk to Sesshomaru-sama like that," she said pushing the dog
demon back. "A human?" the demon asked in a surprised voice as he
sniffed the air to make sure.
"Hai. She's what I need the
favor for." Sesshomaru said. "Well maybe if you begged me." The other dog demon said. "Teme!"
Rin yelled, as she moved to punch the indignant youkai. "Look after her for me. I have a lot of demons trying to get me and
I can't protect her, and myself.
Onegai." He said in an anguished
voice as he looked away. "I guess we
can then." The other dog demon
said. "Iie. I don't want to stay here.
I want to stay with Sesshomaru-sama!"
Rin yelled. She saw a blur
behind her, but didn't have enough time to react, and everything went black.
So how was it? good
bad? Please review. This is my first inuyasha fic.
