Chapter 2: Battle
The next day Rin awoke to the bright sunlight streaming through her bedroom window. Rubbing her eyes of sleep she yawned and stood. Stretching she realized that she was still wearing her kimono from last night. Shaking her head Rin moved towards her wooden dresser. Pulling it open she searched through her supply of kimonos that Sesshomaru had let her buy as they stopped at many of the villages that lay in the Western lands. Grabbing one and a towel she left her room and started down the hall towards the front door. The hot springs lay outside in a separate house.
Stepping out into the cool morning air she took a deep breath. The morning sun was intense on her face. Shielding her eyes Rin headed towards the hot spring house. Opening the heavy door she walked into the hot building. Steam rose from the many springs causing a kind of cloud to form above them and hide the ceiling. Rin always thought of the hot spring house as an eerie lake. Though the springs were separate laying in one made the whole place seem mysterious. Walking to her favorite spring Rin stripped of all clothes. Lying them down beside the water she also folded her new clothes and towel next to them. Carefully stepping into the hot water Rin found her seat made from rock and sighed, laying her head back. Immediately a picture formed in her head. Sesshomaru. Rin shook her head and silently cursed herself for thinking of him. He had no right to be in her mind. But then why are you always allowing him to creep into your mind, your thoughts, and your dreams? A voice inside Rin taunted. Sitting up Rin violently shook her head, Stop it Sesshomaru is my guardian nothing else! The voice was gone and Rin sighed, again.
"Great now, I'm arguing with myself." Rin said out loud sadly.
Swimming in the water abit Rin rinsed and cleaned her hair and body. Then climbing out Rin slowly dried herself and pulled on her kimono. Grabbing her wet towel and dirty kimono she placed both in a basket by the door where the servants would later pick them up. Walking back outside Rin smiled lightly to herself. The Sakura blossoms were falling from their trees and around Rin. Reaching up Rin gently took one in her hand. Feeling it's soft feel beneath her fingers, Rin held her hand up again and let it float into the wind. Watching it for a second blend in with the other petals Rin thought about her life.
What was she going to do? Rin so badly wanted a family, a home, a husband, and a place where she could clean and cook like any other normal human woman would. But a part of her still longed to stay here. Go on adventures with Sesshomaru, walk out in the gardens and enjoy the beauty of the world, go visit Kagome and her family. Even a small part wanted to stay so she could see Sesshomaru. Smiling softly at the thought she continued walking. Coming to the door a red haired young girl ran out and towards Rin.
"Rin! Rin!" She yelled waving her hand.
Rin walked up to the young girl and waited as she caught her breathe, "Yes what is it Arriana?"
"Lord Sesshomaru wishes to see you in his study immediately." Arriana said bowing. Rin looked at the servant confused, "Really, oh well did he look mad?"
"My lady how would I know? Lord Sesshomaru never shows emotion ever on his face." The female youkai said.
Rin laughed lightly at her friends comment. She had known Arriana since first arriving at the palace. They had hit it off right away. Arriana too had been young when her mother had brought her here to teach her the ways of a servant. Rin and Arriana had been close friends since. Rin could tell her anything, well almost anything. She didn't say anything about her thoughts on Sesshomaru. No one knew of them and they would stay that way, hidden deep in her mind until she could sort them out and figure out what she really did feel when she looked at him.
Rin and Arriana walked into the palace and when they reached the stairs Arriana said bye and left Rin alone in the hallway that lead to Sesshomaru's chambers and study. Rin had only been down this hall very few times. Only with permission from Sesshomaru was she ever aloud into his study. Taking a deep breath Rin started down the hallway.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ^_^ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru sat in his chair reading one of his many scrolls. His sense picked up light footsteps making their way towards his study. Taking a deep breath he recognized the scent as Rin's. Looking back down at his scroll he acted uninterested in everything except the scroll as Rin entered his study.
"Sesshomaru?" Her timid voice asked. Her head peeked in and as Sesshomaru looked up and nodded the rest of her body appeared. She looked very beautiful in the kimono she wore and Sesshomaru had to force back a feeling of light arousal.
"Rin I will be going away for a while, you will stay here." Sesshomaru said folding his scroll and setting it down upon the table.
Rin stood shocked; she wasn't going with him . . . but why? "I am not going with you Sesshomaru? Why not?"
Sesshomaru stood and turned to the window. "It's a dangerous journey I am going on to dangerous for you."
"You mean a human, am I right?" Rin asked coldly. Then realizing her mistake Rin bowed and quickly apologized, "Gomen Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru stood still not even acknowledging what she had said. Of course where he was going was too dangerous for a human. It was the Lord of the Northern lands he was journeying too. That Lord hated humans even more then he did. The only way Sesshomaru could protect Rin would be if she was either marked as his, or she was at least some part demon. She was neither of those. "I will be back in 3 days time."
Rin nodded to his back understanding. "Yes Milord." She whispered.
Sesshomaru's ears picked up her whisper. She called me Milord; she hasn't called me that in years. Sesshomaru thought to himself. Pushing it out of his mind Sesshomaru said turning from the window. "Jaken will watch after you and you are not to leave the palace. Understood?"
Rin nodded, her head bowed. There were only certain times when she never went with Sesshomaru on journeys. She had met many Lords from other lands but never the Northern Lord. Rin had never questioned it because she had always been afraid of Sesshomaru's temper. "Yes Milord, but why not Kagome?" Rin asked curious. She knew the answer but hoped that he would let her.
"No, I said Jaken and Jaken is the one that shall watch after you. You may not visit Kagome and her family until I come back understood?" Sesshomaru said, thinking to himself why he did not let her go to Kagome. He did not know the answer and it bothered him greatly.
"Yes Milord." Rin said again a hint of sadness layered upon it.
Sesshomaru noticed a sudden change in her scent. She was sad again, and it was most likely his fault. For a second Sesshomaru wanted to touch her hold her in his arms and comfort her, saying he would be back soon and they would go somewhere. But of course Sesshomaru was the demon Lord of the Western Lands. Never in his life would he sink that low to comfort a weak and inferior being such as a human. Clearing his mind Sesshomaru said, "Good, I will be leaving at nightfall."
Rin nodded again and looked up at Sesshomaru. He was looking away as if examining something. Rin turned to leave. Reaching the door, she turned back around. This time Sesshomaru had turned back to the window, and Rin could not see his face. Looking down she left his study and gently closed the door behind her. Taking a deep breath Rin burst out into tears. Knowing that Sesshomaru could sense everything she does Rin took off running down the hall and into the hall where she slept. Opening her door she ran to her futon. Collapsing onto it she let her tears fall.
Why does he have to be so cruel and mean to me? She wanted to go with him; she loved to go places with him. To see the sights and sounds of the many lands was fascinating to her. To feel special and safe with Sesshomaru was even better. When they were on one of their journeys he would lay a blanket over he sleeping body when she had fallen asleep on Uh and Ah. (A/N: That's their names right?) He would go out and kill a deer or something and make Jaken cook it while he let Rin go bathe in a near by hot spring. He would buy Rin new kimonos, without Rin asking or anything. He would show up and give it to her. That had always bothered her. Did he notice her body or something? Sometimes Rin would catch him looking at her sideways when she walked next to him. Or when she fell asleep she would see him glancing at her before drifting off. Why? Why? Why? Rin thought miserably, does he have to be so distant and away from me? Why does it not let me go to Kagome's? So many damn 'whys'!
Turning onto her side Rin closed her eyes. Oh well in three days he'll be back, and then I can go see Kagome or be aloud to leave the palace. A knock came on her door. Drying her eyes quickly Rin stood and walked over to the door. Arriana stood there smiling at Rin. Upon seeing her red eyes she grabbed Rin's arm and quickly asked, "What's wrong Rin?"
"It's nothing Arriana." Rin lied looking down. Arriana brought Rin's face up to meet hers. "Yes it is now tell me."
"Sesshomaru is leaving and he is not taking me with him." Rin whispered miserably.
Arriana sighed and hugged her friend tight, "He'll be back besides he's most likely got a perfectly good reason not to take you. So stop worrying."
"Yeah and I know the reason. It's because he's starting to realize that I am a pain when we go on journeys. So he's not taking me this time so he can go there quickly and come back quickly with out having a weak human on his heels the whole time." Rin said gloomily.
Arriana laughed into Rin's back. Letting her go she grabbed Rin's shoulders and looked straight into her eyes. "Rin you are one of the most strongest humans I have ever meet. Believe me that's not the reason."
Rin nodded, "Okay, Arriana."
Arriana smiled and then let Rin go, "Good now that, that's settled let's go out in the gardens and I'll help you practice your fighting okay?"
Rin smiled but it disappeared quickly, "Sesshomaru usually teaches me fighting and helps me practice."
"Oh stop that Rin. Today I will help you okay?" Arriana asked.
Rin nodded, and followed Arriana put into the gardens. It was way past sunset when they finally stopped. Rin loved archery. It was one of the only things she was good at besides the occasional sword fighting that Sesshomaru found time to teach her. Since she had turned 13 Rin was taught many things, such as legends of Youkai's, Archery, Swords, reading and many other things.
Sesshomaru had left a few hours before, and Rin suddenly felt lonely. But Arriana tried to make up for that over the next few days. She and Rin played, practiced, cooked, and sewed. But on the 5th day after Sesshomaru had left Rin decided to take a walk in the forest alone, because Arriana had a lot of chores to do.
After a few hours of mindless walking Rin became lost. It was getting dark and she was starting to get scared. All around was forest and no clearing or anything to help her find her way home. Nothing looked familiar. Whimpering slightly Rin turned quickly when she heard a rustle in the bushes. Squinting her eyes she examined the bushes. Suddenly a black blur came from the bushes and right at her. Quickly Rin moved but she wasn't fast enough. A hot searing pain shot through her arm as Rin felt the demons claws slash it. Turning around to face the demon she saw that he had once again disappeared into the bushes. Taking the chance she ran into the trees and away from where the demon had attacked her. Blood fell freely from her injured arm, and the pain coming from it caused Rin to slow. Stumbling over roots and fallen branches, Rin ran slower. All of a sudden the demon was in front of her again. A sick smile played on its lips.
"A human has come into demon territory." It smirked. Rin recognized it as a serpent demon. Cursing silently Rin thought back on what she had been taught of serpent youkai's. They had long sharp claws and a hard as rock slashing tail. Amazing speed and a long tongue that was used to smell. But the worst thing about Serpent youkai's was that they had sharp, pointed fangs that held poison. But this wasn't just any kind of poison this was deadly poison; it killed with in 2 days, once injected.
Reaching up the demon made a slash again at Rin. In instinct Rin backed up and only felt the 3 claws swipe over her stomach lightly. She cried out in pain and taking her hand off of bad arm, she moved it to her stomach touching it; then bringing the hand up to face she saw that it was covered in blood. Backing up Rin stared at the demon in terror. There was no way she could take on a full-blooded youkai on her own.
The demon lunged at Rin and she moved just in time. Then hoping with all her might she reached out and hit the demon. He moved to the side as she reached out. Feeling her lightly hit him he laughed. Rin saw the demon stop in front of her and she backed up but to no prevail. Grabbing Rin's tender neck he threw against a tree behind her and held her there. His lips formed a wider smirk as she struggled for breath. Leaning in he bit her on the shoulder and she screamed.
"Sesshomaru!"
Feeling poison enter her body Rin struggled again. But slowly she started to lose conscious.
Gods help me. Sesshomaru. Rin thought desperately.
Blackness filled Rin's eyes as she fell into a deep dark hole. The demon looked at Rin and smiled more when he realized that the human had lost conscious. Bringing his hand up to kill her he suddenly stopped when he heard a sound to his left.
All of a sudden a white blur hit the demon. He flew backwards dropping Rin in the process. Sesshomaru stopped and stood in front of the demon. His claws out, dripping deadly green, he ran at the grounded serpent demon, sinking his claws into the demon he ran them up, and out of the demon; killing it instantly.
Sesshomaru quickly turned to see Rin slumped against a tree, her body covered in so much blood. Then Sesshomaru's golden eyes picked out two puncture wounds on her shoulder, they glowed a sickening green.
Dammit! The bastard bit her! Sesshomaru thought angrily. He reached Rin and sunk to his knees. Gathering Rin gently in his arms he stood. Silently looking down at Rin he cursed the world. The poison was in her; she would die in 5 days unless something stopped the poison from traveling. Turning again the cloud formed around his feet. Quickly Sesshomaru and the wounded Rin headed to the one place Sesshomaru wished he never had to ever go; The Inuyasha Forest.

To Be Continued!
Authors Note: Wow! This story has gotten so way off track from what I had originally wrote it as. Rin was suppose to have no servant friend, Jaken was suppose to abuse her, and Rin was suppose to get attacked by a wolf demon not a serpent demon. Anyways there it is! Next chapter should be out after I update Family and most likely my other story Love is a funny thing. It'll be a few weeks but I will promise that it shall be out! Here are my author responses:

SilverMagiccraft: Okay read above for your answer to the whole 19 thing. My friend and I were wondering how old Sesshomaru would look when Rin was 18- 19. Technically he is nowhere near 19. Umm yes I know Sesshomaru is a bit OOC but I will make him more himself over the next few chapters. And the reason he lets Rin go see Kagome is a secret! Rin sees Kagome for a reason. It's not like Sesshomaru wants to go see his brother he does it for a reason. You'll see in next chapter! ^_^

Blackness filled Rin's eyes as she fell into a deep dark hole. The demon looked at Rin and smiled more when he realized that the human had lost conscious. Bringing his hand up to kill her he suddenly stopped when he heard a sound to his left.
All of a sudden a white blur hit the demon. He flew backwards dropping Rin in the process. Sesshomaru stopped and stood in front of the demon. His claws out, dripping deadly green, he ran at the grounded serpent demon, sinking his claws into the demon he ran them up, and out of the demon; killing it instantly.
Sesshomaru quickly turned to see Rin slumped against a tree, her body covered in so much blood. Then Sesshomaru's golden eyes picked out two puncture wounds on her shoulder, they glowed a sickening green.
Dammit! The bastard bit her! Sesshomaru thought angrily. He reached Rin and sunk to his knees. Gathering Rin gently in his arms he stood. Silently looking down at Rin he cursed the world. The poison was in her; she would die in 5 days unless something stopped the poison from traveling. Turning again the cloud formed around his feet. Quickly Sesshomaru and the wounded Rin headed to the one place Sesshomaru wished he never had to ever go; The Inuyasha Forest.

To Be Continued!
Authors Note: Wow! This story has gotten so way off track from what I had originally wrote it as. Rin was suppose to have no servant friend, Jaken was suppose to abuse her, and Rin was suppose to get attacked by a wolf demon not a serpent demon. Anyways there it is! Next chapter should be out after I update Family and most likely my other story Love is a funny thing. It'll be a few weeks but I will promise that it shall be out! Here are my author responses:
Mika-Hurso: Thanks here's the chapter! Please keep looking at the story!
Anna: I plan to!
I stalk Sesshomaru on Weekends: I have a very good idea so there! :P LOL
Night-Dragon: Thanks I'll keep you in mind!
MalletWielderofDoom: Thanks for the idea but I got another one that I think will work. LOL thanks anyway ^_^
FictionQueen1: Okay thank you for the review. Um what I meant by 19 is that he looks 19, though in reality he's around a few centuries old. What do you mean cheerful? Oh well thanks!
SilverMagiccraft: Okay read above for your answer to the whole 19 thing. My friend and I were wondering how old Sesshomaru would look when Rin was 18- 19. Technically he is nowhere near 19. Umm yes I know Sesshomaru is a bit OOC but I will make him more himself over the next few chapters. And the reason he lets Rin go see Kagome is a secret! Rin sees Kagome for a reason. It's not like Sesshomaru wants to go see his brother he does it for a reason. You'll see in next chapter! ^_^
Disinteregating Dreams: Yes I do want to add another chapter, lol.
Pisces Panda: I LOVE SESSHOMARU AND RIN TOO! LOL
