Chapter 7: A Time of Peace
AN: italics mean thoughts of the characters.
"Since you seem to disapprove of half breeds I'll tell you for kicks. I myself am a half breed." I said with glee just to the look upon his face. I was disappointed he showed no emotion what so ever. "I'm half vampire and...odd I can't remember my other half." Then I thought about the flash of memory during my fight with Sesshoumaru, which was the only reason I lost the fight, and that was a stab into my wounded pride. A man with brown hair and green eyes. Who was he? He seemed so familiar but I only remember I fought him but not why I fought him. I can't seem to remember if I won or lost that fight. I know I found myself on the floor but maybe he died. I was disrupted by a tug on my cloak. It was the little girl, Rin.
"What?" I asked looking down as she came closer.
"I had a dream about you. Except you had silver hair and skin, also a part of your skin was gold and so was some of your hair. You told me, 'I'll help protect you and the one's you care about,' and if I saw you in real life to tell you that." Said Rin with the look of innocence which I never did completely trust. "Soooo... will you protect me and Lord Sesshoumaru?"
I just looked at this girl like she'd been possessed or something.
"Ummmmm...Look kid. I'd remember if I was communicating with someone through my dreams. I also look nothing like what you said."
"Then what do you look like? Can I see?" Rin piped looking hopefully up at me. Frankly she scared me. I sighed and brought my arm to my hood. I pulled it down and saw Rin's eyes fill with awe.
"Kid it's not like I'm a god or something."
I was about 5'8", had long black hair which reach the floor. I had silver hair for my veins; my skin was fair and looked like marble, white. My eyes were blue. A blue that's as deep as the ocean's bottom. I wore all black trousers and a black shirt. I stood there while they sized me up and was very uncomfortable.
"See I have black hair, it's not gold or anything else. Sorry to crush your hopes but no."
"You are. Your eyes are the same as they were in the dream. Please don't leave me."
I turned to walk away when something grabbed my leg. It was Rin. I tried to get her off delicately, but she wouldn't budge. I wasn't going to spend all day removing her from my leg, so I turned around and started to back away, with Rin on my leg. Sesshoumaru was in front of me swiftly.
"Leave her with me," he said. It was a command not a request.
"Gladly. Tell her to get off me first."
"Rin...no. You'll have to agree to come to my castle then I'll gladly tell her to get off."
"What!!!! Are you mentally ill or do you have a sense of humor."
"Neither. But she will only listen to me."
I couldn't believe I was being conned into coming with them. If I wanted to walk around freely. I'd have to agree, Damn. Sesshoumaru was still looking at me and Rin was showing no sign of letting go anytime soon.
"Fine under one condition; I tell you what you want to know and you let me go without a weight on my foot."
"It all depends on what you have to say to me."
I was only agreeing to do this because he could help me find Inuyasha. After all he seemed so fond of him. Otherwise I would've removed that kid with extreme measures. Also, what could a cold hearted demon be doing with a small child that was human? I had to know.
The trip to his castle was a lot more pleasant than expected. Due to the fact that I fell asleep on a demon he had and was totally oblivious to anything else. When I awoke I was in a massive bedroom and next to me was a small figure, Rin. This room smelled of Sesshoumaru. I could only assume it was his. I got up as to not wake the small child. She stirred for only a moment. I found that my cloak was gone. I would've cared more about its disappearance, but since I had no weapons I didn't care much. The door was open as if I was being expected. I paid no heed to the things in the castle. I only followed his scent.
