Chapter 3
She slowly opened her eyes already knowing she wasn't going to be in the same place she'd slept at the night before. She moved her arms to help her sit up only to fall back painfully. Her right arm was throbbing slightly and it seemed she might have torn her stomach wound open already. She looked carefully at her arm to find it already cleaned and bandaged. What the heck had happened anyways? She'd gone after Yoko then on her way back to the village she was currently a resident at heard a cry and went to look into it.
She had found a girl and fought a demon to save her then the poison had kicked in by then and she couldn't remember anything beyond that. This time as she sat up she didn't use her right arm and was a bit more careful about the cut in her stomach. Looking down she noticed it was slightly starting to bleed again so she gently placed her left hand over it and used some of her miko powers to close it again.
The doors opened slowly into the room and she watched it suspiciously. She relaxed though as the little girl walked in and gave the older girl a nervous glance.
'She's a cute one, but very familiar.' she thought to herself. 'Wait I know her it's the young girl Rin. Sesshomaru's ward. That must mean I'm at.... Oh no this can not be good'
Her thoughts were cut off as the girl spoke. "Thank you very much for saving me." she said a bit shyly wondering if she'd be angry about getting injured for saving her. Her answer to that was easily answered as the older girl smiled at her. "You're very much welcome. I couldn't let him hurt you besides it's part of my job."
"What's your job?" she asked with great curiosity.
"I'm a miko."
"Oh wow."
"Yes, it's kind of a special job as I get to protect a treasure also."she said moving her arms into her sleeve to touch the Shikon no Tama reassuringly. "Anyways what's your name?" as if I don't already know but I can't let anyone know about me still being here I'll just have to be an actoress. Mom always said I'd make a good one.
"I'm Rin"
"Rin. What a pretty name." she said out loud in her head she was thinking 'Oh crap I know for sure now where I am at.' "Rin can you tell me where I am?" 'I bet I also know this too.'
"You're in the Western Lands in Sesshomaru-sama's castle."
"In Sessh-Sessh-Sesshomaru's castle?" she asked putting up the act now, he was near, like outside the door near.
"Yes miko." a coise said from the doorway.
'Oh shit don't let him remember me. I've come so far. I can't be found out now. I just got away from his brother a couple months ago. This isn't fair I wish he'd drop the stupid hunt for me already.'
She turned her head slowly to find Sesshomaru standing right by the doorway regarding her with his amber eyes. 'Please don't let him remember' she tilted her chin up a bit looking at him through proud stormy grey eyes.
***Sesshomaru's POV***
I had been listening to the two talk hoping to find some information about her. The most I got though was she protected some kind of treasure.
When the miko had asked where she was, then stutter saying my name I decided to enter.
When I spoke I saw her stiffen and turn to look at me. She was scared. But not of me I could tell. She had some sort of secret that she wasn't about to let anyone find. I noted how she lifted her head proudly when she looked at me not about to let me find any weaknesses or secrets. She was a proud creature I could tell and then she spoke.
***OUT OF POV***
"Hello Sesshomaru-sama" she said bowing her head respectfully from her place on the bed. He just gave her a cool nod. She turned her eyes away from him to look at Rin who bounced nervously from one foot to the other.
"Rin-chan what's wrong?"
"What's your name?"
"I'm known as Jade."
"Is that your real name or what you're called?"
'Smart child' she thought to herself have to answer that carefully
"It's what I'm called and now my real name."
"Well Jade-chan I was wondering if you could stay for awhile."
"Please just call me Jade I have no titels to my name, but I'm not sure Sesshomaru-sama would like that besides I've got my job to attend to." she told the small girl kindly.
"Sesshomaru-sama can't you make her stay here for awhile?"
"Rin..." he said
"Oh please?" she cut in giving him her puppy dog eyes.
He couldn't resist. He turned to the miko and spoke. "You stay here."
"I will, will I?" she asked angerly her eyes flashing dangerously.
"Yes, you will." was his reply.
"You have no right what so ever to do this."
"You were found in the Western Lands therefore in my jurisdiction. I have every right."
"If I'm not in the Western Lands I'm no longer under your jurisdiction therefore it will not be your right to keep me. Am I not correct?"
"Yes, but you won't be able to leave the Western Lands as you will be carefully watched and guarded."
"You can not do this to me. I have my duty and if I stay in one place to long he'll...." she stopped right there a flash of something secretive in her eyes and her scent dominated by her fear of this something that he couldn't quite understand what it was.
"You get no say in this. You will stay here for as long as Rin wants. You will take care of her and if any harm comes near her while under your care it's you who will suffer."
She glared at him through her bangs which had fallen over her eyes for awhile before smirking. "You're all alike, you're all alike" she murmured underneath her breathe which he caught and tried to figure out what it meant.
She turned her firey gaze to the little girl and it softened. "Come Rin, how about you show me where the garden is and we can pick flowers. I know you like doing that." she stated.
Once again she surprised Sesshomaru. How did she know that? Why did she not fear him? There was some sort of secret behind her and he was going to find out the mystery behind Jade.
