(I am sorry the last couple chapters have been so rushed. As I said before, cleaning got the best of me. But I promise for more slowed down and fluffy chapters.)
There seemed to be some kind of twister spinning around Arkwyn, and with her being in the middle of it.
"What?" she repeated again, jumping forward in shock, then quickly cringing as she remembered she couldn't do that. Defiantly not when her wounds were still healing.
Rin stepped forward, stopped, looked up at Sesshomaru as if asking permission, and then smiled as she got an approval, all the while skipping her way up to Arkwyn.
"That old healing lady told me to take you and him," she began pointing toward an awfully shy and upset Sesshomaru. "To your regular time so we could get some herbs for your wound."
Arkwyn stood in wonderment for a moment. 'All of us,......going....together?'
"You could start by saying ok, woman." Sesshomaru said coldly. Then he suddenly cupped a hand to his mouth, as if shocked by his own words, and shocked by being shocked by his own words, AND what he was doing being all shocked.
"Is he,.....feeling alright?" Arkwyn asked with an half hearty laugh as she looked ardently at the small child.
Rin just grinned at her.
(Later)
Arkwyn decided to just wear the clothes she wore before her sacrifice of protection sum many days ago, letting the guards have fun with picking out clothes for a "Dashing" young man, And an "Cute" little girl.
Rin was the first to come out all dressed up in Arkwyn's normal kind of clothing wear.
"Ooh you look adorable Rin!" Arkwyn cooed, grabbing the little girl and scooping her up in her arms to cuddle with her like some plush toy.
Rin was dressed in a short sleeve, yellow summer dress with little pink and blue flowers on it. Her hair was the same and she had small white sandals.
"I feel....all funny." Rin protested as she played with the hem of her dress wearily.
"It's alright.....I'm sure you'll get used to it."
"I don't see how you humans can wear such articles of clothing like these for many days at a time." Sesshomaru scolded, a bit of curiousness rising in his voice.
"Don't be silly!" Arkwyn started, slowing turning towards him as she finished tying the bow on rin's dress at the back. "You are a human,..................................................too." she finished, freezing in mid air with her words, staring wide eyed at Sesshomaru.
Man did he look good!
He was wearing sneakers with a faded style jeans, a light blue shirt with the little band like things around the end of the sleeves, and on the neckline part of the shirt.
Sesshomaru just stared at Arkwyn too, he had, never seen her, dressed quite like this before. She looked somewhat nice. Very.......pretty?
"What are you staring at?" he said quickly leaning his head down so his bangs were covering his eyes.
He suddenly felt a warm soft hand brush against his cheek, pushing away his bangs so he was staring at Arkwyn.
"You know," she started as she smiled ardently up at him. "You're not that bad,...I mean, once you get to know you. You are sorta.....bittersweet."
Sesshomaru just stared at her. Actually afraid of what she might do next. (which, he was never afraid of anything....only...except when woman made passes at him or something. Then he was scared because, Well. How to put this. Let's just say, woman and their emotions, erm. Woman have LOTS of emotions.)
"Bitter to your enemies," Arkwyn started as she stared softly in his golden eyes. "And sweet to the people you care about. Well, that is only if you are alone with them."
Rin laughed and Sesshomaru thought he might die.
'I'M BECOMING SOFT!!!!' he kept yelling over and over in his mind.
Although, he did kinda like the idea of being called bittersweet. It sort of fit him.
So finally, the three set out in a horse drawn wagon on the long gravel path down to the big gates, that hopefully without any harm would lead to Arkwyn's first and original home. Home with her memories. Home with that outside world from her home away from home. And now I've said too many homes.
