Chapter 5
Jade and Rin continued their talk when Jade sensed a powerful demon coming fast. So as not to worry the girl she continued talking to the girl her left arm down at her side holding an invisible katana as her right arm was still wounded.
When she felt it come very close behind her she whipped around with her left arm up throwing off the invisibiltiy spell bringing it down only to stop short as she noticed she'd been about ready to cut Sesshomaru in half. Her sword disappeared again and she dropped her left arm to her side glaring at him irratibly.
"Don't come upon me like that." she said angerly. "You could have let us know it was you or were you seeing how well I'll protect Rin?"
"That and other things." he said in his irritating calm way.
"Yea well you don't have to worry. I've been trained. I can take care of myself and those around me." casting him a disdainful look she motioned to Rin. "Come let's wash for dinner as I'm sure he was about to tell us." she led the girl away talking to her when she paused and turned back to look at Sesshomaru. "I don't know who that other person was with you Sesshomaru, but I don't appreciate being watched or people interested in my affairs." with that she continued her walk with Rin to wash up for dinner.
She led the girl to the castle and they grabbed their clothes for after they washed up in the hot springs. The two girls talking away the whole time.
Sesshomaru still staying behind was to say the least surprised. She had managed once again to surprise him and he wasn't sure if he liked it at all. The girl was quite maddening in her own way. She was a fiery one with a free spirit, a spot of rebelliousness and a load of defiance.
He knew byh the way she looked at him with her angry stormy grey eyes she wasn't going to make her stay here easy for him, but he truly didn't mind.
She was going to be a handful but once again he didn't mind that. There was something about her that he wanted to learn and understand. A puzzle to be put together and understood. For one thing he wanted to find out what she was keeping a secret.
She truly was a maddening creature not awake even a full day and she already had him thinking these things. He shook his head as if to be rid of his thoughts but they persisted and stuck to him.
At the dinner table there was a deadly silence filling the room that was filled with a curious Rin who asked question after question about their guest. Her questions were calmly answered but never with much detail because Jade knew the demon lord was carefully listening trying to catch something that would tell him more about her.
When asked about her family again she answered that she'd never see her real family again no matter how long she lived, her second family she never went to see anymore but she saw her third family a lot. She sat there thoughtfully thinking of her new companions. Before them she wasn't sure she had much to live for anymore but when she met them she had a whole new reason to live again.
The demon lord watching her carefully could tell by her scent her change in feelings and right now it was of happiness and longing. Was she longing for what she called her third family? It must be. Her feelings changed again and it was indignation. He looked at her to find her blazing eyes on him then turn once again to soften as she and the little girl spoke to each other again.
She was mad that he of all people would try to keep her here against her own will. She was bound and determined to get out of here and tonight would be the best time. People would be tired and their guard would drop. It should be easy to get out of here she thought and turned her attention once again to the little girl.
After the meal was over it was late. Jade took the little girl to her room and tucked her in. As she turned to leave Rin spoke "Jade would you please tell me a story?"
The older girl turned around to face the little one a grin on her face. "Of course Rin-chan." she moved to the little girls bed and sat down. The little girl moved to huddle in her lap and the older girl cuddled her and began to tell her the story of Sleeping Beauty. By the time it was done she had fallen asleep in her arms and the older girl shifted her off carefully so as not to wake her up. She placed a kiss on her brow and made to leave only to see Sesshomaru standing by the doorway. He must have been there the whole time. Great. She moved to walk past him but his voice stopped her.
"She hasn't slept so easily for a long time. Two years ago she knew a girl who would tell her and a kitsune stories. She protected them even almost to the cost of her life at a battle against Naraku and was the one to destroy him herself. She was almost killed by someone she trusted and left. Rin took it hard and would cry herself to sleep almost everynight for a year. You look a lot like her and she takes comfort in that." he said in his emotionless tone.
"Aye." she replied. "I know the story of the battle and what happened to her afterward she left." she walked past him and said quietly so that even he couldn't easily catch it with his superior demon hearing. "Let me tell you. It did not have a happily ever after ending." she continued her walk to her room.
He watched her walk down the corridor and motioned to a servant to him. He handed the servant a bunch of papers with writing on and spoke. "Put this on the outside of the miko's door and seal it."
The servant hurried off to do as he was bid and Sesshomaru went to look for the guards he had placed to watch her.
"Captain I will take first watch tonight."
"Aye milord. If you are sure about that."
He just gave him a cool leveled look which made the captain back down. Then he walked down the corridor to stop outside her door. Inside she changed her clothing and laid down for a short rest to prepare herself for when she left.
***close to midnight*******
When she woke up again she strapped her knives to her and went to the doorway to push it open. As her hand touched it her skin began to burn. She pulled back in surprise as realization hit her. That-that jerk that asshole had sealed her inside.
She was pissed.
On the other side of her door an amused demon lord felt her waken up and her power flare when she found she couldn't elave. It was to say the least amusing for him.
Suddenly a loud crash as something big was thrown at the doorway followed by a string of curses that would have made even the heartiest sailor wince. Where had she learned such vulgar language?
Then she began to yell to the other side of the door. "Sesshomaru." she began angerly "let me out of here this instant. Just you wait until I get my hands on you."
She stopped her ranting to think of her companions. She'd left them in a cave but if he found them he'd kill them. They had been with her the last time he showed up and helped her get free from him again. She couldn't let those two get hurt.
She suddenly slumped against the wall hugging her knees to herself talking to herself the whole time. "He can't hurt them. I won't let him. If he lays so much as a finger on them I'll make him feel sorry he's been chasing me for two years then. I have to protect them. They're so small and young."
Sesshomaru was listening on the other side. He'd been slightly worried when he stopped hearing noises so he listened to her say something about not letting somebody hurt others but her voice ahd quieted and he didn't hear the rest.
After a few more moments of silence he felt her being become comfortable and relax as she fell asleep. Nodding his head in satisfaction that she wouldn't try to leave again tonight he leaned against the doorway and he too fell asleep.
