The Reason
By Rin-chan
A/N- To answer this for ALL the people that asked me why Kouga would do such a thing, I just have to say that if they really read my fic they'd realize I mentioned sake a lot. Also, Rin smelt the sake in his breath when she was being raped. lol Reading comprehension people!! Mr. Y would get on all of your cases about that... (lol Raven Demon lol) Anyways, I'm sorry it took so long for me to update... I had so many projects due... And in a few weeks, there'll be finals... ugh... I won't be able to update for a while THEN... but that's saying I'm not done by then...
Chapter 7- The Way
"Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game,
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah.
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord,
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Laughing and running hey, hey
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Behind the stadium
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d..."
The sound of this Van Morrison person pounded in all of our ears. Kagome's pretty voice floated around with it, clashing gently with the man's deeper one. Inu-Yasha was about to strangle his girlfriend, screaming at her to turn it down while battling Sesshoumaru in something she called a "Gameboy" and the two the guys had were connected by a so-called "link cable". Shippo was dancing along while Miroku was running from Sango. Me? I was propped up in a chair on the lawn nearby, still only able to complete limited movements.
"HA! I BEAT your Pikachu, Sesshoumaru! Who's the boss now, huh? My Growley is awesome! YOU"RE FINISHED!!" Inu-Yasha chanted, very proud of his brother's defeat. I watched a smile cross my beloved Sesshoumaru's face.
"That wasn't my last Pokemon. You must be blind brother; it has a bar at the bottom of the screen that should have notified you of how many Pokemon I have left. I noticed you're on your last. I have one more as well."
"Ahh... the final showdown... heh!" Inu-Yasha smirked, leaning towards the Gameboy. A look of horror crossed his face. "NANI?! A CHARIZARD?!"
"Yes, Inu-Yasha, a Charizard. Since Kagome won't let me beat you physically, I will proceed to beat you in this game. Since my Pokemon's level 80, only one Cut attack should do it," Sesshoumaru said in his normally cold voice. Within a matter of seconds, Inu-Yasha was growling, Tetsusaiga ready.
"Now, now, guys..." Kagome scolded, touching Inu-Yasha's arm. He immediately relaxed and, after a moment, he grudgingly held out his hand for his brother to shake. Sesshoumaru stiffly repeated the gesture. Kagome giddily grinned, hugging Inu-Yasha for his deed. Watching the two of them hold each other, the beaming Kagome and the blushing Inu-Yasha, I couldn't help but smile.
It was then I noticed that Sesshoumaru was looking at me, golden eyes soft and warm. My smile immediately became as big as possible. Leaving his Gameboy on the grass, my lord walked over to me, patting me on the head before leaning over and kissing it. He sat down next to me and held my hand, showing one of his rare, genuine smiles.
Kagome once again became aware of the rest of the world, walking over to me. She checked my tubes and lifted the bandages.
"Wow. Your cuts are pretty much healed. I'm going to leave them uncovered to let them breathe a bit. Now, you remember we're leaving tomorrow, right, Rin-chan?" she said, lightly tapping the hard thing around my other arm she called a "cast." She had told me earlier it wasn't fully healed yet, as was my left leg. Kagome would be returning in 2 months to take them off.
"Yes, Kagome-san, and I'll clean them well. And if anything looks a bit strange or hurts a lot, I'll ask Sesshoumaru-sama to take me to see Kaede- san."
"Good girl, Rin-chan! Oh, I'm sorry I keep referring to you as a child! I know you're 18 but I still remember you as the little girl you once were. You're innocence still shines through you, Rin-ch—err... Rin-san," Kagome said, smiling. Inu-Yasha was standing with his back to her, watching the feud rise between Miroku and Sango.
"It's alright; you can call me Rin-chan."
A slapping sound was heard, causing everyone to immediately look at Miroku.
"Groping her again, monk?" Sesshoumaru said, eyes shinning with laughter.
Miroku was sitting on the ground beside his beloved Sango, rubbing his red cheek. Even though the handprint on his face appeared painful, a glowing smile spread across his face. The two of them had married a year ago and had remained about the same personality wise.
"So you ARE going to bear my child, Sango?" Miroku shouted happily, gazing up at Sango. Blushing wildly, Sango nodded. Kagome squealed with glee, hugging her friend.
"So, when did you two... you know..." Shippo said, nudging Miroku. Miroku, for once, was too stunned to even answer a question he would have loved to answer. Inu-Yasha even smiled at Sango and patted Miroku on the back. Sesshoumaru had immediately looked at me, as if he wanted me to bear his child. I blushed at the thought.
"Congratulations, Sango! I'd hug you if I could get up to do so!" I shouted, happy for my friend.
Back to my previous thought; bearing my master's child would mean being his mate. He already loves me but... I can't picture him asking me to be one, only the process involved.
I looked over at Sesshoumaru. Would he ask me to be his mate? If Kouga was still alive, would he kill him regardless of my wishes?
He caught my stare and smiled at me. I blushed, trying to turn away, but he grabbed my chin and turned it towards him. Gently, he placed a soft, open-mouthed kiss on my lips. Everyone noticed, creating a chorus of loud awes. I didn't know what he was thinking just then, only that it involved me.
Whispering in my ear, his calm, hot breath formed the words I had wanted to hear from him since I came into his care, the words I first heard just a week ago.
"I love you, Rin..."
Grinning, I threw my free arm and the one in a "cast" around his shoulders, pulling him closer. I returned the kiss and rubbed my head in the crook of his neck, repeating those same precious words:
"I love you too, Sesshoumaru-sama, so much..."
Yes, I know I didn't go to Sessy's POV this time, but that's alright. Rin's cool and I felt like having her perspective again. Besides, it would be funnier to have an outsider's view on the Pokemon battle. lol Well, I love you all! R&R!!
