-------------------------------------------
Sesshoumaru was stopped somewhere nearby to Rin and Jaken, having bean stopped because they were both getting tired (Rin more so then Jaken).
"What could be taking them?" he thought absentmindedly. He was quite tired him self, and he didn't have much to do, but he didn't want to take a nap. Sleep was something he avoided at most costs, ever since, well, since he could remember.
He stared out at the sun, which seemed like it was setting quite quickly, with night beginning to flow from the edge of the horizon, to meet the light. He was suddenly startled by something...
"SESSHOUMAR-SAMA!!!"
The very thing he had been waiting for, now a little reluctantly.
"Yes, Rin?" he said, trying his best to stay calm and collected....
"I want to talk to you about something...."
"Uh huh..."
"Well, really, I want to ask you something...."
"Alright, Rin...." by this time, Sesshoumaru had been about to completely go back into super-emotionless-mode and stay there. But he was quite curious as to this girl's question...
"Well, when there are two people...
Sesshoumaru took a deep breath in. "THAT question?" he thought. His mind was racing a thousand light years an hour that he barely even heard her when she changed her mind.
"Hmm, no.... wait...."
He exhaled. "What have I gotten myself into?" he thought, "Of all the enemies I've ever faced, this girl may be my toughest one yet...."
"Well," The girl recomposed her approach, and directly asked again, what she had had in mind from the start, "say there are too people." She picked up two leaves.
Sesshoumaru stared. The air was stale and unmoving from both of there tense attitudes, choking out what little they had left to breath, "what if," she paused for a moment, preparing her next words as carefully as possible, "what if one of them was to die," she took one of the leaves, and let it go. It was instantly taken up by the wind, too fast for their eyes to follow, but Sesshoumaru looked up anyways, his eyes beginning to grow wider.
"What if they died?" he thought. "What kind of question is that? Why is she asking me this?" An image of Kagura fled through his mind. He mentally shook himself.
"What could the other leaf do?" she said. She held the leaf up to his face, so he could see it clearly. He suddenly noticed that he had been spacing out. The fleeting image in his mind hadn't been so fleeting after all.
"Well what do you mean?" he said. He didn't want to ask, but there was no other way to get the conversation over and done with sooner.
Rin fidgeted. She obviously felt nervous. As if she was too close to something she didn't want to touch, an avalanche that she didn't want to start. "What could they if they wanted to see that person again?"
Sesshoumaru's eyes flashed open. Just what was Rin getting at here? What was she trying to say? "Is this something about Kagura?" He thought. Rin looked at him for an answer. But no answer came.
He slowly bowed his head, to hide his eyes, which for some reason seemed to be bothering him. "They can't." he said, quickly and abruptly. Once he was done speaking, he heard the rustle of foot steps, and turned to look as a shaking Rin slowly walked away.
As he watched her go, he heard the sound of silent sobbing coming from her direction.
The wind began to pick up, and the sun disappeared.
