Still Day Two..
Sesshomaru strangely felt worried by her actions. He looked over at Rin across the table. [Why is she being so open to me? It is as if our relationship was never interrupted. As if Kay never existed. She doesn't know anything about what we learned to fight for, nothing about us.] Sesshoumaru let out a sigh remembering all of what they had gone through.
"What is it Sesshoumaru?" he looked at her longingly, "Are you ok?"
"Excuse me Rin I must leave. I have some pressing matters I must attend to." He bowed his head and left the room.
Rin leaned back into the chair, "I need to talk to him, but now is he avoiding me." she said to herself aloud. [I thought we were getting closer with the kissing and groping scene up stairs and then with the tickling.] Heat rose to her cheeks remembering his touches. Not being one to give up Rin asked where the lord had run off to and went there to seek answers.
Rin walked feverishly down the hall, but was stopped by a small toad like creature.
"Oh! Rin I didn't see you there." he looked up with a stupid grin.
"Jaken, how are you this afternoon?" she wanted to look for the demon lord, but thought better of it, because she realized her search was pointless. Rin had forgotten where he was.
"Fine, now what are you doing, running down the hall in a huff?" Jaken even for himself was being very nice to Rin and he started to like her in her older age. [Maturity was a blessing,] he thought.
"Well I was looking for Lord Sesshoumaru have you seen him?"
"Oh yes, he was in his study last I saw of Lord Sesshoumaru was in his study; dealing with stupid humans who have damaged the Western Lands. Humans have to be the most idiotic creatures to walk this earth." he started to lead her to the study; when he realized his mistake.
"Lady Rin, I am sorry I did not mean you of course. You are."
The hurt girl cut off his silly excuses, "Jaken, tell me, does Lord Sesshoumaru share these feelings towards humans?" her heart was pounding loud enough to be heard.
"Well yes, he is a demon. Demons tend not to care for humans and if there are a youkais, who does, they're few and far between." he walked further down the hall, "Here you go, please give the Lord my regards."
"I will. Thank you."

The old woman sat poking at the fire and began to think about the dagger. Not being able get her mind off the silver blade, the woman went over and took out the knife. Swirls of color flashed in front of her and then came a premonition.
["Sesshoumaru please don't leave me. I need you." Rin wrapped her arms around the youkai, "Sesshoumaru, I love you."
His once vibrant amber eyes now were dull, without life. The dog demon's once bright and silvery ribbons that surrounded him were now a fading grey color. All the life in the demon lord, beautiful body and mind left.
The young girl stared at the demon lord, "Sesshoumaru, come back, Sesshoumaru!" she pleaded with her deceased beloved.]
The old woman dropped the dagger as if it had burned her, "He is dieing..."
"Lord Sesshoumaru? Lady Satsuki is that who you are talking about?" the apprentice asked, the young girl had just starting learning from the old woman.
"'One will fade and one will die, everyone feels the pain of love.'" she read from the markings on the dagger. "Lady Rin and Lord Sesshoumaru. He will die from a broken heart by the full moon just as she will forget him." She turned to her pupil, "Hurry, bring me my horse I must tell Lord Sesshoumaru of this news, hurry girl."
______________________________
Rin opened the study door and found the demon lord's back turned away from her. Letting out a sigh, the girl gathered her courage and approached him, but was startled when he spoke before she lay one foot down.
"I will help you with your past, but you must promise me that you will do as I say." he turned way from the window, his hands behind his back. His body language was intimidating. "I will only do this if you truly want it. It is your past, not mine." He stood as a statue.
However, his features told the truth. He looked vulnerable, as if it was his past as well. Rin smiled and reached for him, but he backed away.
"I do want this Lord Sesshoumaru and I am grateful for your help." she hang her head, Rin knew why he did not want her to touch him. [Human, I am just a stupid human he liked to jerk around, but now he hates himself for touching me in the first place.]
"Very well, now that is settled. Leave, I have many important things that I am required to finish." He sat back down and unrolled a parchment.
Trying hard not to show that his rudeness had wounded her, Rin bit back the tears, "Thank you Lord Sesshoumaru for taking your precious time to help a human like me." She said, shutting the door.
Sesshoumaru did not move he was in shock from her words, "'a human like me?' What did she mean by that?" The Demon Lord of the Western Lands wondered this and was in deep thought when the door opened.
"Jaken!"
The annoying toad demon opened the door, "Master, did you talk to Lady Rin?" Jaken tried to read Sesshoumarus' face.
"Tell me Jaken, did you talk to Lady Rin?" Sesshoumaru saw the sweat slide down the toads' face and drip off his chin.

Rin watched the cherry blossoms fall to the earth, "How could I have been so stupid? I should have known that he hated humans or at least just used them." The mentally slapped herself, "Maybe I don't want to know about my past." The young lady leaned back to lie in the grass but fell on something hard.
"You should watch what you are doing before you do it."
Rin looked up to see that she had fallen on Sesshoumarus' legs. Feeling the heat rise to her pale cheeks, Rin sat Indian-style, turned away from the great lord.
"Is there something you wish of me Lord Sesshoumaru?"
"Yes, there is. I believe you wanted to know about your past. So, I came to start on your lesson." He leaned in front of her, a silver lock brushed against her face. [Don't fall Rin, don't fall for him again.] She thought looking up to see his flawless face.
"Well," he said offering her his clawed hand.
"I don't want to do that right now, excuse me." she said standing without his help. Rin bowed and walked way, but she did not get very far. He grabbed her making her look at him.
"Where do you think you are going? I told you we were to start the lesson and we will do so now." he gripped her arm tighter.
Rin tired pulling away, but only got bruises in return where from his claws were digging into her.
"I will not help you if you are to act like this," he said, in response she pulled, "Don't defy me, Rin."
"Why, Sesshoumaru, Why are you so willing to help a human like me if you detest us so much?"
"I only took a liking to one human," he let her go, "and that one was lost."
Rin was about to laugh at his first comment, but held her tongue. "Who was it? Who was the human?"
"She's gone," Sesshoumaru saw Rin tense from his sharp words. "Let's begin with your lesson."
Rin stared at him noticing that he would not look at her, "Why are you avoiding my question?"
The demon Lord's eyes flashed red from frustration, "Because it is none of your business and if I wanted you to know I would have told you!"
The young girl had to know, what if it was she. "Did you love her?"
"Stop," he panted, his chest was tightening he felt cold.
"Did she make you happy?" [And was she a beautiful a youkai, who could make you laugh?] She thought while wanting to cry in pain.
"Rin, stop," he took a deep breath.
"Tell me Sesshoumaru, was it the same girl who wore the white kimono?" She gathered her courage for the next question, "Was it me? Was I the human? Is that why I saw you as a lover should?"
The weakened youkai let himself fall against the trunk of the cherry blossom tree, "It's cold," he tried to swallow.
Rin saw beads of sweat forming on Sesshoumaru's flawless brow, "Lord Sesshoumaru?" she knelt next to him. She moved back his pearly white bangs he was cold and clammy. "I going to get help." Rin started to stand, but was pulled into the demon's embrace.
"Don't leave," he struggled to breathe, "Rin stay with me." Sesshoumaru squeezed her tightly as if she was the only thing left in his life, "Don't ever leave me."
"I won't leave you, I promise. But you need help, I can't help you if you don't let me get someone to carry you back to the castle."
He held her to his side, "Jaken and others will come, just stay here." Sesshoumaru pulled her closer leaving no gaps between their bodies and nuzzled the crook of her neck.

Lady Satsuki rode like the wind, "I hope I am not too late."
Suddenly thunderous footsteps came from behind.
[Just what I need thieves.] She rode harder, but was struck, the old woman laid on the ground. When she looked up her horse and bandits were gone. "Now I must was to Lord Sesshoumaru's castle. Please for heaven sake don't let me be there too late."
Lady Satuki, stood and pressed onward. Even though she was wounded badly she knew she must get there.

Rin felt him taking deep breathes? Then suddenly, Sesshoumaru went limp; his arms were heavy on her waist. Looking up she saw his eyes were closed, "Sesshoumaru." He laid still. Rin tugged at his kimono, "Sesshoumaru." tears trickled down her ghostly white cheeks.
She brought herself up onto her knees pulling harder on his clothes, "Sesshoumaru!"
