The Reason
By Rin-chan
Chapter 2- Breathe
Disclaimer- Blah, blah, blah... Don't own anything...even if I did and they tried to sue me, my dad's a lawyer and obviously has lawyer friends... SO DON"T TRY!!
"I can't believe this is happening... to me..." I whispered quietly to myself. My golden eyes searched the forest around me before sliding down a tree trunk. I haven't eaten all day, not good for traveling. Groaning, I decided to get up and fumble around in the dark forest for something to eat. Sesshoumaru-sama had taught me enough... Oh... Him... I wish he would hurry up and find me... not that he cares...
I still don't know why I even said that to him. I knew he would never return it, not the way I wanted him to at least. Why do I even... love him? What's wrong with me? He's only saved me thousands of times, bought me everything I could ever want, let me sleep on his fluffy tail, cared for me when I was sick... But who am I kidding. He'd NEVER show love for anyone.
Amazingly, I stumbled upon some berries. Grabbing as many as I could, I stuffed them in my mouth. The juice was sweet in my mouth, quenching both hunger and thirst. I sadly smiled. I used to do this with Sesshoumaru-sama...
Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes behind me. Turning around, I saw glowing red eyes staring back at me. I screamed.
A giant wolf- demon leaped forward, teeth raring. I threw some leftover berries into it's face, buying myself some time to run. Memories flooded back to me; my parents' death, my old village's destruction, living in fear, my own death...
Running faster than I ever have, I found myself in a small clearing. There was no escaping my fate. Fighting back my tears, I prayed to the gods that my Sesshoumaru-sama, anyone for that matter, would find me. Turning, I decided to face my inevitable doom.
The wind blew.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A loud scream was heard in the distance. Not just an ordinary scream but a scream that held every emotion possible; a scream of pure terror. Immediately, I thought of my Rin, but dismissed the thought, as it could be any stray human.
"What was that Sesshoumaru-sama?" my irritating servant, Jaken blurted. He needed to die... He hadn't shut up the entire trip. Rolling my amber eyes and glaring, I reluctantly responded.
"It is a worthless, unidentifiable, hu--" The wind carried with it a strongly familiar, intoxicating scent of flowers. Rin. Looking to Ah-Un, I saw that he smelt it as well. Nodding, I allowed her to fetch her.
Worried for my Rin, I was not far behind the two-headed dragon. Smirking, I realized I had left Jaken behind. Oh well. Rin's more important anyway.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Thunder cracked above my head as I was gratefully lifted by Ah-Un. Out of harms way, I looked back at the ground below just in time to witness Sesshoumaru-sama slice my adversary. His cold amber eyes had run red.
Now totally pissed, the wolf-demon attempted to attack my lord. Nimbly, Sesshoumaru-sama dodged, slicing the demon once again with his powerful claws. Blood was spilled onto the earth below, furious demon blood burning it on contact. Blood and fire surrounded Sesshoumaru-sama and the demon now as the faced off.
Looking up at me, the demon leaped up into the air towards me. My lord stopped him, receiving a wound himself. However, the wolf-demon was too wounded to jump at all, now that it was missing one of it's paws. More blood cascaded onto the ground as the demon attempted one last, feeble attempt.
Fire burst from one of it's paws, aimed at Sesshoumaru-sama. Laughing menacingly, my lord jumped up and imbedded his bloodied claws into the demon's back and side. Entrails, spinal fluid, and a lung trickled out of the chest cavity. Fearful demon eyes looked mercifully up at Sesshoumaru- sama.
Snarling, Sesshoumaru-sama spat in the wolf-demon's eyes, "No one, and I mean no one, goes NEAR MY RIN!!!" Poison claws severed the jugular vein and trachea and, with one swift move, the skull was crushed with the same hand. The wolf-demon was no more. The fire immediately lost life and went out.
Startled with this odd way of expression, I guiltily gazed down at my Sesshoumaru-sama. More and more tears dribbled down my cheeks as Ah-Un lowered me back down. Ashamed for worrying my lord, I knelt as low as I could possibly achieve, previous hurts forgotten.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Rin," I spoke in a voice alien to me. It was almost... kind. As confused as I was, my Rin looked up at me. I reached down my hand and pulled her up. For once I was at a loss for words.
She was hurt. I could feel it. And I was the one who hurt her.
