I'M NOT ALONE
Ch.1 I'll be okay
"Rin, it's okay. Come with us and we'll find people to care for you. You don't have to stay with Sesshoumaru anymore." Kagome reassured Rin.
Rin looked at Kagome with uncertainty then smiled.
"Rin if it is your wish to stay here then stay but I'm leaving." Sesshourmaru told Rin.
Sesshourmaru turned his back to Kagome and Rin and began to walk away with Jaken.
Kagome grabbed Rin's hand and Kagome told her everything will be okay. Rin pulled on Kagome's hand. Kagome looked down to Rin and Rin put her other hand on Kagome's hand.
"What is it Rin?" Kagome asked.
Rin smiled and said "See I'm alone in the world. I had no one before Lord Sesshourmaru. Have you ever lost your parents?"
Kagome shook her head.
"Have you ever felt so alone that you feel like nothing? Well I'm not alone anymore. I don't feel alone anymore now that I'm with Lord Sesshourmaru," Rin said as she let go of Kagome hand.
Sesshourmaru listened to every word the Rin said then halted.
"Goodbye Kagome and Inuyasha. I'll be okay," Rin yelled as she ran to catch up with Sesshourmaru.
Sesshourmaru stuck out his hand and Rin put her hand in his. They held hands as they walked into the sunset till Kagome and Inuyasha couldn't see them any more.
"Do you think Inuyasha-" Kagome began to ask with a slight smile on her face.
"Do I think what?" Inuyasha snuffed.
"About Rin and Sesshoumaru," Kagome smirked.
"What about them..." Inuyasha asked.
"Never mind." Kagome said as she took one more glance at the sunset and walked back to the hut.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, um why do you keep me in your company? I mean I'm always in the way and You probably think I'm annoyance-" Rin asks shakily.
"Do you want to leave Rin?" Sesshourmaru asks.
"No but if you want me to I will." Rin says while looking at her feet.
He looks at her and then stares at the moon.
"Along time ago Rin, I wandered many nights alone. I did everything for myself. I was arrogant and had no reason for being. I felt like nothing so I drifted looked for the reason why I am here." Sesshourmaru explained.
"But why do you have me in you company?" Rin said while staring at Sesshourmaru.
"Because I'm not alone anymore...because now I have a reason." Sesshourmaru admitted.
"You seemed to be attached to that human, Lord Sesshourmaru." A demon lord said to Sesshoumaru.
"Your point Kinyuo?" Lord Sesshourmaru remarked.
"The point shows weakness. If someone would-" Kinyuo says until interrupted by Sesshourmaru who's now holding Kinyuo by the throat.
"If someone would what? Don't think I don't see your defiant eyes Kinyuo. Touch Rin and I will personally send you to your end." Sesshourmaru threatens.
"Not me my lord. Everyone knows that you care for this little girl. They see it as a perfect way to lower your defenses. That little girl's life is danger and if you really care about her you will send her away." Kinyuo advises.
Sesshourmaru heart began to thump harder then it ever has before. He lets go of Kinyuo and runs into the forest, towards his castle.
He stands at his doorstep and senses something terribly wrong.
"Rin!!" Sesshoumaru shouts.
He smells blood and the smell coming from Rin's room.
"Noo...Rin. If you are hurt I'll never forgive myself. Please Rin be okay." Sesshourmaru says to himself as he runs to her room.
In the room a lifeless body in a puddle full of blood and a letter. Sesshoumaru grinds his teeth. He pulls out his sword hoping he's not late. He unsheathes his sword, one swipe and he is rid of the reapers. Rin awakes and begins to cry while clenching on to Sesshourmaru.
"I'm sorry I was weak Lord Sesshoumaru." Rin cried.
Sesshourmaru held Rin tight.
"No I'm sorry. Today Rin I was scared." Sesshourmaru said as he glanced at the letter.
"Why Lord Sesshourmaru?" Rin curiously asks.
She knew that he could ever get scared.
"Because I thought I lost my reason." Sesshourmaru whispers.
Rin held him tighter.
"I'm here Lord Sesshourmaru. You didn't lose me." Rin told him.
Sesshourmaru didn't say a word just walked on with little Rin and Jaken behind him. He himself realized that his heart is not as black as everyone seems to think but still he hid all emotions.
"What you are doing is the right thing to do my Lord," Jaken reassured him.
Sesshourmaru glared at Jaken but didn't say anything.
"But I have to admit that I will miss her." Jaken admitted while gazing at Rin who is picking flowers.
"Lord Sesshourmaru, these are for you." Rin cheerfully said while handing flowers to him.
Sesshourmaru looked at the flowers and took them from her little hands. He wasn't sure what to do with them so he just held them. Rin didn't know what was happening or where they were going but this was going to be the last time she would ever see Sesshourmaru.
Sesshourmaru remembered the letter the letter left by the person who hurt Rin. It didn't say much just that they would back. He didn't forgive himself, for what was done to her. He knew he couldn't always be there and it could happen again. Also that Rin was missing human contact, friends, a mother, a father. He couldn't give her that; she needs to be with her own kind. He needed to find someone who could. Deep down inside he was hurting but would never admit it.
Sometimes he would ask Rin if she missed her own kind and she would reply "Only sometimes when you are gone, Lord Sesshourmaru." They came closer to a village.
"Where are we going Lord Sesshourmaru?" Rin asked as they got closer to the village.
"We're going to find you a new home Rin." Sesshourmaru answered.
"What?!? Why...no Lord Sesshourmaru. I'm happy here. I don't want to leave please...let me stay" Rin pleaded as tears flowed from her eyes.
"Don't argue with me. We are going to find you a new home." Sesshourmaru said sternly.
He wouldn't have her talking back. As they entered the village, the villagers stared at him. He was going to leave her with no explanation.
"You don't want me in your company anymore, Lord Sesshourmaru." Rin sobbed.
He looked at her and didn't answer.
"But I'm your reason right?-" Rin said pulling on his kimono.
He turned to the villagers.
"I found this young girl. She has told me her parents are dead. She needs a home. Who will help her?" Sesshourmaru yelled.
It was quiet. The villagers weren't sure what to say.
"If no one will help her then there is no use for her, so she'll be better off dead." Sesshourmaru warned.
"I will...take care of her." An old lady said as she stepped out of the crowd.
Sesshourmaru nodded and turned around. He walked away from Rin without a goodbye.
"Goodbye Rin." Jaken said as he ran to catch up with Sesshourmaru.
The old lady grabbed Rin's hand but Rin shook her off and called to Sesshourmaru.
"Lord Sesshourmaru Please Come Back!" Rin shouts.
When he doesn't answer more tears force there way down her cheeks.
"Don't leave me..." Rin pleads.
"Come on dear child." The old lady says taking Rin's hand.
And once again Rin felt alone.
