A/n: sorry it took so long to update but I've been really busy with my
local renaissance faire. Well here's chapter three, and it actually gets
into the plot!
Ch.3. Castle of Dreams
Sesshomaru was at Rin's side in an instant. After making sure she was merely unconscious, he scooped her up in his arms and began walking into the forest.
"Hey where are you taking her?" Rin's uncle yelled.
"Home," Sesshomaru replied with out turning around. He walked into the forest where he had left Ah-Un and mounted the two headed dragon still baring the unconscious Rin in his arms.
When Rin came to she was in unfamiliar surroundings. As she looked around the room she recognized her old room at Sesshomaru's castle. The bed was still huge to her though not as huge as it had seemed when she was younger. She got up and headed to where she remembered the study being, figuring Sesshomaru would be there. He was sitting at his desk looking over some papers but he looked up as she entered.
"Rin you should be resting," he said sternly, "it takes a lot to break a spell like that."
"I'm fine." Rin replied walking over to him. "How did I get here?"
"I brought you here after you collapsed. Do you remember everything now?" he asked.
"Yes I do." She looked up at the silver haired demon with questioning eyes. "Why did you let them take me?"
"It would not have been fair to you, growing up away from humans." He replied.
"I was never truly happy there though. I was content at times, but not happy. I was happy here." Rin said.
He looked down at her. "Perhaps I was wrong."
Rin stared up into his golden eyes and suddenly found it hard to breathe; she was relieved when he turned away.
"I will call Jaken to bring you something to eat." He said heading to the hall to yell for Jaken.
Why did I feel like that? Rin wondered as she stared at Sesshomaru's back. What just happened? I never had a problem looking him in the eye before. Rin could tell that life simply wouldn't go back to the way it was before. Something had changed but she wasn't sure exactly what it was or what it would mean in the future.
"I thought we had a deal. You raise the girl and I get her when she turns eighteen!" a woman in a black hooded robe yelled at Rin's uncle.
"I know that!" He hissed, "How was I supposed to know Sesshomaru was going to show up and her memories come back?"
"He always had a soft spot for that human. Of course he was going to check up on her every now and then." The woman shook her head. "Never mind, we simply modify our plans slightly. Her eighteenth birthday is fast approaching and everything must be ready by then."
"I still don't understand why we need this particular girl?" the man said.
"Don't tell me you've gone soft?" the woman chuckled evilly.
"N-no, I was simply curious." He stammered.
"Just let me worry about that. Now go gather the ingredients I need. We must be prepared for anything."
A/n: so who is the woman in black and what do you think she wants with Rin? Please review!
