Lord and Lady
~Shattered Heart~
By: Enchanted Kagome
Rin slid down onto the floor, feeling her heart shatter. She was so absorbed in her own world, that she didn't hear Lady Lokittona's footsteps. However, within seconds, she noticed the impending presence. She looked up with fearful eyes.
"Ring, was it?" Lady Lokittona sneered at the frightened human girl. 'This will be a piece of cake…as long as Sesshoumaru doesn't step in,' she thought.
"Y-Yes." Despite all that Sesshoumaru had said to her, Rin had learned much from her surroundings and other people/demons. She knew not to think of herself on an equal basis as other youkais. And, even though Sesshoumaru didn't know she knew, Rin had secretly found out the reason of her Lord's strong dislike for his half-brother Inu-Yasha and humans in general. She didn't understand why the Lord took her in and protected her when his hatred for humans was so obvious.
"Now, you look like a smart girl. Let me tell you something. Sesshoumaru is, as you must know, the most imposing youkai in the Western Lands, where its his domain. It has been like that for generations, but, more than 50 years ago, this great lineage was marred, and has never been as great since. Do you know who diminished the race's superiority?" Rin slowly shook her head, though she had already guessed who Lokittona was talking about.
"Then let me tell you, a human. Mother, of the hanyou…Inu-Yasha. She…in her greed for the love and protection of a great demon lord, found ways to charm Lord Inu-Taisho. She let nothing stand in the way of her becoming great."
"But, she loved him," Rin whispered, trying to somehow justify the whole thing.
"Love? Can you call that love? If she had truly loved him, she would've cared about the results and
consequences, and died rather than baring a worthless hanyou to ruin the bloodline."
"It…wasn't her choice. Lord Inu-Taisho wanted her," Rin began. She knew where this was going. She'd already seen the start of this in the room.
"He wanted her? And how do you suppose a mere human, of no name or wealth can attract a great youkai lord's love and attention? Of all the worthless humans out there, how did SHE get it?"
Rin had no answer. She knew where this was going. She knew, yet she can't help but try to justify the lady's position. If not for anyone, for herself. To her, Sesshoumaru had always been protection enough and care enough, but she couldn't bring herself to see the difference, if any, she held against Inu-Yasha's mother.
"You understand that, it's up to Sesshoumaru to cleanse the lineage. I can't allow any threats to that, if you know what I mean. You do care for him and what's best for his title and reputation, don't you?"
Rin did. She knew she was fighting a losing battle. No matter what she did, she still can't win. If she really cared for Sesshoumaru, then, to preserve his reputation and not ruin him like Lady Ataka did to his father, she would have to leave. No matter what she may promise to do or say, she can't promise to remain deaf to her heart and blind to her feelings. Then, the only other way was to totally renounce her feelings for Sesshoumaru. And, despite how much that would benefit her, Rin just couldn't bring herself to renounce them.
"I-I understand what you're saying, Lady Lokittona…I've already promised to leave."
"Yes I know. But I don't think you understand me…everyday becomes any threat. So, as you care for him deeply, I'm currently telling you to leave before nightfall, and STAY out of smelling distance." Rin's head shot up. But, she knew, she had no choice but to agree. "Do you understand?"
Rin nodded. She didn't have the energy to put up a fight anymore. All she could do is keep in her tears. But, deep down, her heart was shattering. She realized how weak she was. After that terrible attack on her family, she couldn't bring up the courage to talk. But, after meeting Sesshoumaru, she began laughing and talking again. Now, to lose him is like losing her life support. She didn't know how long she could last in the world without him.
"Excellent." The Demoness's voice brought her back to reality.
She slowly got up and opened her door, and disappeared behind it. The Demoness's triumphant laugh pierced through Rin's heart, the last impact needed for it to shatter altogether.
She helped her sister out of bed and told her they are leaving, with as much confidence as she could muster. Together, they went out of the castle gates. Turning, Rin gave one last gaze at the castle.
On the inside, she was already dead, and on the outside, she became nothing but a living corpse.
