Chapter two
A Pirates Life
Rin yawned as she made her way across the deck, the sun was setting on her sixth day of being a pirate and it was beautiful. The crew had fully accepted her. Although it would take a bit longer to gain the respect of them all. Sango had told her that all they needed to do was see her fight and kill. While she had no problem with fighting she wasn't sure if she could kill.
She had never killed before; but she said nothing of this to the others. For fear of being found out.
The air was moist and thick still warm from the heat of the day. Rin inhaled deeply as she leaned against the rail.
"Good evening"
Rin jumped at the voice and turned around coming face to face with the captain.
"Good evening sir... A fine night for sailing"
"Indeed"
This was the forth time Rin had encounter the captain alone on deck at night. It seemed they both enjoyed the sunsets. She had learned quickly from the others all about him it seemed that everyone both feared and respected him, he was a man of few words but many thoughts, and although it took a lot to anger him he was still deadly to all around him. Yet in the very short time she had bean with him, Rin found herself liking the captain and his strange beauty.
All though his face seemed to always be derived of any emotion she found him a fascinating man and could not bring her self to fear him but rather just respect him.
"My appearance intrigues you?" He asked when he noticed her staring.
Rin blushed slightly and turned her gaze to the dimming sky. "My apologies Captain I did not realize I was staring"
Sesshoumaru moved to stand beside Rin his gaze following hers out to see.
Rin turned her head slightly to peer at the Captain out of the corner of her eye.
"Why is it that you continuously stare at me?"
Rin shrugged "I guess it's to see if what they say is true?"
"Oh and what do they say?"
"That you are deprived of all emotions"
Sesshoumaru smiled, a true smile "To them I am and will continue to be so"
"Is it not a tiring task to hide ones emotions so?"
Sesshoumaru looked at the girl, her eyes held great wisdom for one so young and her beauty was indeed striking to his eye. Yet it was her way of things that drew him to her like a moth to a flame, he spoke more to her then to anyone else on the ship. Yet he quite enjoyed there conversations.
"Pardon me sir but now you're the one who's staring" Rin said with a genuine smile.
Sesshoumaru smiled for the second time in her presence before nodding his head "Yes it is"
Rin frowned "is what?"
"A tiring task to hide ones emotions.....but I have done it for so long that it has become a natural habit"
"Ah but I have seen you smile several times before, your mask is slipping captain"
Sesshoumaru smiled once again "Only around you dose my so called mask falter, you seem to have that affect on me"
Rin blushed at his friendly flirting "May I ask why it is that you are kind to me?"
Sesshoumaru frowned slightly and ran the question through his mind searching for a answerer that he simply could not find "In truth not even I know why"
Rin smiled "Then I shall think my-self honored to be in the captains good graces"
Sesshoumaru nodded.
The two stood in silence for awhile basking in the feel of the wind across their faces.
"Tomorrow we will be intercepting a large merchant ship, be ready"
Rin sighed, the idea wasn't to pleasing to her "You know sooner or later our sins will catch up on us either in this life or the next"
"You believe in life after death?"
Rin gave a slight nod, a far away look on her face "this can't be it"
Sesshoumaru shook his head "A fool's belief"
"But it's what keeps me going.... Good night captain"
Sesshoumaru watched as Rin left, his mind racing. The girl stirred emotions in him he had long but forgotten, yet despite the disturbance he felt at peace when talking to her. There wasn't a single doubt in his mind he was attracted to her deeply.
"Is there any news on my daughters' were-abouts...? Well IS THERE ANY NEWS?"
"Sir remain calm we are still searching for her all our ships are on the look out
"Well you better get her back sir or I shall have you hanged with the rest of the pirates!"
The general nodded before turning to yell orders at the rest of the men.
"You wanted to see me Sessh?"
"Yes... first things first please refrain from calling me Sessh ever again"
"All right fluffy"
Sesshoumaru let out a low menacing growl that would shake a man to his bones.
Inuyasha held his hands up in a defensive manner "Relax captain I was only havin a bit of fun if ya get my drift"
Sesshoumaru grumbled to himself in disgust "We'll be intercepting are target by noon have the men ready to go"
Inuyasha gave a little whop for joy.
"Tell Sango to keep a close eye on Rin"
At the sound of the knew girls name Inuyasha let out a low growl himself "That girls more trouble then she worth"
"She has done nothing but proven her self use-full to me"
Inuyasha growled "If I didn't know any better I would say you fancied her"
"Inuyasha you know nothing now leave"
"You know its fright-full bad luck to bring women on bored let alone four of them"
"You didn't seem to complain when I invited your mate on bored"
Inuyasha growled and with a half hearted 'feh' left.
Rin polished and loaded her pistol before storing it in her belt
"Ready to go?" asked Sango cheerfully.
Rin gave a slight nod.
"You two be careful I would hate to have to tend to your wounds" Said Kagome with a slight nod.
"Sango smiled don't worry I've got our backs"
Kaede turned to Rin "Are ye sure ye don't want to stay on the boat with us?" she asked.
Rin nodded "I'll be fine"
And with that the two left before any more words could be exchanged.
Rin stared wide eyed around the deck; she had never seen it so alive. She quickly caught sight of Sesshoumaru giving instructions to Inuyasha and the tall dark eyed monk named Miroku.
She smiled at his impassive features.
"Kirara!"
Rin looked over at Sango who held the small demon in her arms
"You ready to go Kirara?" She said with a smile, as the demon cat meowed back at her.
"Right then lets fly!"
Rin gasped as the cat was engulfed by flames transforming it into a giant.
"I' ye better get a move on now, come jump on she don't bight"
Rin smiled and jumped up onto the enormous cats back. The joy of flight quickly taking her away.
Sesshoumaru watched as the two girls' took flight.
"Captain we're closing in on them"
Sesshoumaru gave a nod "ready the canons"
The sailor nodded and began to yell orders.
Sesshoumaru watched as they gained on the merchant ship, the first cannon was shot then the next. A small smile creped across Sesshoumarus lips "tell the men to board the ship"
"I captain"
