Now I'm aware this chapter is unbelievably confusing without the next chapter to accompany it. That is exactly why I am holding hostage until I'm given enough reviews!!! Mwhahahaha! I warned you all I would do this. Since the next chapter is my last I'd like to know if you guys would like to see another story from me. Like I said when I began this I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to continue with writing or not. All your reviews have helped me but but a few more wouldn't hurt. Remember I may keep the last chapter for up to two weeks! I'm sure none of you wants to wait that long.
Chapter 9
Rin runs quickly through the halls dodging servants. The castle is alive with movement at dawn. She finally burst through a large set of doors. The same paintings and tapestries she sees every morning are around her. She runs through the dinning room as quickly as she had entered. Servants are cleaning the floors as she runs past. She pushes trough one more set of doors to the hall leading to Sesshomaru's chambers. She opens the door to his room. Keeping her speed she throws open the doors to outside. Rin stops once outside and breathes heavily.
This is his secret place. Sesshomaru made this exit so he could leave without making it known to the rest of the castle. He often leaves without telling Rin. Sesshomaru stopped bringing her on his travels two years ago for her safety. 'He couldn't have left, could he?' This spot is visible because of a ward spell Blu placed on it years ago.
"Looking for me?" Sesshomaru speaks coolly stepping out from beside the door. Rin turns around quickly to face him. She nods quickly then bows. "I think you have something for me. What could you have for me?" He says holding her face tightly in his hand. "Or maybe it's something you want, eh?" Sesshomaru says slyly while bearing his sharp canines. Rin squirms in his hand. "Are you afraid of demons little girl?" He begins tracing lightly with his claw along her neck. Rin twists away from his claws. Sesshomaru get agitated at her movement and frowns. "Speak up!" He scratches sharply down her neck. Rin winces at the sting of the poison. "You don't want this as your mate. You never would." He grabs her shoulders tightly pushing sharply into her skin.
"AHHHhh!" She screams out as his claws cut into her flesh one by one. Tears start streaming down her face. "STOP!" He looks down at her suddenly shocked. Sesshomaru lets go of Rin and backs away slowly. "I know why you're doing this and it won't work! I don't care if you're a demon!" She yells through the pain of her shoulder. "Sesshomaru, I.. I love you and this. This can't scare me away." Sesshomaru stops and looks up at her words. He walks toward Rin and holds his shaking hand out. He touches her hair and looks straight at Rin.
"I'm sorry...." He drops down onto his knees. "I'm, I'm so sorry." Look slumps down as if defeated. Sesshomaru watches his claws drip blood. "I thought I could save you." Rin falls on her knees to face him.
"Look at me." Sesshomaru looks down at her with a defeated look in his eyes. "I love you." He looks wide-eyed at her. Sesshomaru grasps her hand lightly.
"Thank you." He smiles at her awkwardly. Sesshomaru lifts her to her feet and picks her up. She looks shocked at the movement. He leaps high into the air with Rin before she as anytime to be frightened. "I love you too." Rin smiles widely at him. She stops instantly as if she remembered something. Rin's eyes close tightly and she focuses. A bright white light shines on her cuts and they're gone. Sesshomaru watches her quietly until her eyes open.
"I learned something from Blu at least." Rin smiles at him. Sesshomaru pushes his face closely to hers. He catches her lips in their first kiss. (Sweet and simple as it should be)
