"I will not let this happen. Kaiya will not die because of a false
accusation." Rin started for the dungeons, but stopped. "Where are the
dungeons?"
"Lady Rin, please you will not get anywhere by doing this just let the girl have her punishment." Lord Kane turned away from them.
"Just down the stairs and to the right." Lady Aiko's creamy white hand pointed the direction where Kaiya was being held.
"Thank you, Lady Aiko." Rin grabbed the Yasuo's hand.
When the turned right at the end of the stairs they saw a young girl, brown locks that were dull, unwashed. As they got closer, Rin saw that her eyes her red from crying. [Poor girl.]
Yasuo ran to his caged mate, "Kaiya are you hurt? What have they done to you?" he shook the rusty bars.
She did not speak, only looked at him and smiled.
Rin approached the cell, the girls face and throat was blue and purple; someone had beaten her. She wished she had the nose of an iunyoukai to be able to smell if Kaiya had been raped.
"We are going to get you out of here ok?" Rin looked around for keys to open the jail door. Over on the wall across from Kaiya's cell there was a set of keys. When Rin finally got the door open, Yasuo ran inside and held his mate and softly chanted that he love her.
"We should leave now before Kay sends someone and find out what we have done."
He nodded and picked up Kaiya. As they walked out the girl grabbed Rin's arm, "Thank you, Lady Rin we owe you our happiness." her voice was hoarse.
Sesshoumaru's mate turned away before they saw the tears streaming down her face. "You are welcome, now this way." They reached the top of the stairs and bid farewell to Lord Kane and Lady Aiko of the Eastern Lands.
Outside the rain beat down hard on them, "Lady Rin we should find a place to stay for the night."
"No, I think you should find somewhere for you and your mate. I will keep going I want to find Sesshoumaru."
"But My Lady."
Rin covered his mouth with her hand, "Thank you very much for your help, but I can make it on my own. All you need to do is go on and live a happy life with Kaiya and never caught up in this sort of situation again." she waved goodbye to the couple.
Walking deeper and deeper into the forest was beginning to scare Rin. She had never wandered around without someone being there to protect her. [Oh Sesshoumaru where are you?]
The rain had finally stopped; it still left Rin's kimono wet. Her dark blue kimono was soak through and had rips in it from the loose braches. When she reached a clearing, she noticed something across the way.
* * *
"My look what we have here." Kay cocked her head to one side.
"Rin," Sesshoumaru words went unnoticed by the female youkai.
"You know what you must do Sesshoumaru. If you do not stab her with this dagger then she will die by a real one." she handed him the small steel dagger. The demon lord saw his reflection in the blade, [Forgive me Rin.]
He jumped into a nearby tree.
* * *
There was movement, the wind began to pick up, [Run!] was the only thought going through Rin's mind, [Run for your life.] She quickly turned on her heal and never looked back.
Her chest was becoming tight and her breathing heavier. Feeling weak, Rin started to slow down, suddenly her body made contact with the earth. Someone was forcing her down. She would have screamed for her life; but her throat was too dry.
Rin was whipped around only to come face to face with Sesshoumaru. His arms were on either side of her head, he was pinning her.
Wetting her lips, Rin managed to speak, "Sesshoumaru" she raised her soiled handed to his face. "Oh, Sesshoumaru I thought I would never see you again. I was so scared." The young girl let her tears of relief rain heavily down her pale cheeks.
Lord Sesshoumaru stayed silent.
Rin brought her lips to his, but never made the connection. Sesshoumaru jerked away, "Rin don't." his silver hair made a curtain covering his face.
"Sesshoumaru tell me what is wrong? Tell me what happened?" she made him make eye contact.
The youkai's golden orbs swelled, "Run Rin, don't come back. Please I love you too much."
"Run, Sesshoumaru what is going on? I don't want to run away from you."
The wind swirled around them, "Sesshoumaru don't make me do this myself." Kay stood with one hand on her hip.
The demon got off Rin and helped her up making her stand behind him, "You will not hurt Rin or me anymore, Kay."
Her laugh was cold making a chill run down Rin's spine, "How do you plan on stopping me without the dagger?" The wind blew her waved black hair coving her face.
Sesshoumaru felt his kimono, "Such a clever little wench." Sesshoumaru charged for Kay, but she disappeared before he even had a chance to release his poisons claws
"Take once last look at Sesshoumaru, Rin for it will be your last seeing him as your husband, lover. mate"
He turned just in time to see the dagger piercing Rin's heart. Rin's small form fell lifeless to the ground.
Eyes now glowing red and green poison trickling from his claws, Sesshoumaru charged for Kay. "Die!" He caught her by the throat, "The last thing you will feel is pain, Kay; pain that you have caused." He tore through her body as if it was paper. His chest heaved up and down. The remains of Kay's body lay scattered on the earth.
Sesshoumaru turned his attention back to Rin. The sun peeked through the clouds making the drops of rain diamonds in Rin's auburn hair. He knelt, "Rin.Rin?" Her body was so heavy, solid, in his arms, her skin translucent.
Rin's black laced lashes fluttered open, "Sesshoumaru," she touched her wound staining her hand with blood, "I'm so cold."
The rain started to fall again, turning the blood to a pinkish shade.
"Shh.. It will be alright," he smoothed her hair away from her face, "you will be alright."
She began to shiver, "I love you." her voice was a mere whisper.
"Don't leave me Rin." she closed her hazel eyes, "I can't go on with out you." Sesshoumaru nuzzled his face into her soaked locks. His despair soon turned to anger, anger at the world that would soon take Rin's memories.
He held on to Rin's body and jumped from tree to tree searching for the nearest village.
* * *
Sesshoumaru paced in front of the hut he had found. An elderly woman lived there who knew how to deal with daggers and such that was only used on Rin.
The grey haired wrinkled woman approached Lord Sesshoumaru, "The girl will have trouble remembering you as her mate even though her heart was grazed by the enchanted dagger. Lady Rin will live."
The demon lord let out a breath he did not know he was holding "Thank you."
"However it is not this simple Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands. You must teach her about your love. If you do not mate and mark her again by the next new moon she will be lost from you forever."
He turned away, "That is only a week."
"If you fail her heart will consumed by the poison; you will never be able to bring her back. Lady Rin will not remember you or your lives together further, more she will not be able to bear children. I am sorry that I cannot tell you better news."
"Thank you. May I go see her now?"
She bowed and lifted up the door for his tall form.
Rin laid on the futon; broken, frail, nothing like the young girl who loved him. She was just a shell of her former self. Not having the will and strength, Sesshoumaru fell to his knees next to her. He did not want to touch her for fear; she would crumble with his touch. Her chest moved slowly with each breath; damaged, feeble that was what she was now. Not being able to stand just watching Rin, the demon lord picked Rin up and held her.
[Emotionless, impassive, cold, arrogant, demon lord that is what I am, but now I am a damaged man. I had let the only woman in my life almost slip out of my hands. Rin is mine and soon she might not even know my existents.]
The young girls' once cold skin was now being warm with her lover's tears. "Forgive me Rin, please." Sesshoumaru held her tighter. "Forgive me."
* * *
A/N: I know that I have taken along time with the chapter and I am sorry, but I am writing other stories. I hope everyone likes where this is going review and tell me what you think. Will Sesshoumaru be able to teach Rin in time? Oh and yes I know Sesshoumaru would never cry, but he may lose Rin ok so don't get mad me about that.
"Lady Rin, please you will not get anywhere by doing this just let the girl have her punishment." Lord Kane turned away from them.
