Chapter 4: Lullaby
"L-lord Sess..." Jaken was unable to finish due to Sesshomaru's
hand squeezing his throat.
"Jaken, when I send Rin to get something you're not to stop
her whatsoever! Do I make myself undoubtedly clear?" Sesshomaru
stated with his eyes had a bright red tint to them.
"Y...E...S...!"
"Is the seamstress here?"
"Yes, she's here," said Jaken catching his breath. Walking
into his study, he saw the seamstress in front of his desk.
"Lord Sesshomaru, what shall I do for you?" asked the
seamstress, Disa.
"I need ten elegant, formal kimono's made for my ward, Rin,
and ten equally elegant ones for me as well. They are to be finished and
delivered to this castle, no later than three months." Sesshomaru handed
the seamstress a pouch full of gold and silver coins. "I'm sure this
covers the cost of the fabric and work."
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama. They'll be done." Bowing, Disa left
the room.
"Jaken, see the seamstress out," as he walked to Rin's
chambers. Walking into Rin's room, what he saw left him in
awestruck.There, on Rin's futon, was Kagome holding Rin in her arms as
if Rin was a little baby, rocking her to sleep singing to her The song
"It will be Me!" by Faith Hill.
When you start falling
Who's gonna catch ya
I'm willing to betcha
It will be me
Who's gonna love ya
Like there's no other
Search and discover
It will be me
When all the others
Have gone and hurt you
Who won't desert you
It will be me
Weighing the options
So much to think of
But when you think love
It will be me
Chorus: You may not see it now
Love is strange that way
But someday, someway
Baby somehow
When you've been broken
And dreams don't oblige ya
Who's that beside ya
Oh, it will be me
Chorus
Who'll be your only
True romancer
You know the answer
It will be me
What will it take to
Bring you to your senses
And finally convince you
It will be me
Kagome was thinking of Inuyasha and what they had been through
and how he treated her. She didn't hear the door open or see Sesshomaru.
The whole time, tears were falling from her eyes and sliding down her
cheeks.
Sesshomaru was thinking while watching the miko, "Kagome
looks wonderful sitting there rocking Rin to sleep. She'd make a
wonderful mother for Rin!" slapping himself mentally. "Why am I thinking
like this? I don't have feelings for this miko, do I?" He thought.
"Wait, why is she crying? I need to help her by taking Rin and placing
her on the futon so Kagome and I can go to my chambers, NO! I mean to my
study to talk." Walking over he lightly touched Kagome on the shoulder
and she jumped slightly.
"Here, I'll take Rin. Go wait by the door for me." Wrapping
his tail around Rin and lifted her so Kagome could slide off the futon.
He then lowered Rin to the futon. He leaned over and kissed her on the
forehead. "Good night, my sweet Rin!" Standing up, he walked to the
door and looked at Kagome, "Please follow me. I've got questions I need
to ask you and I'm sure you have some as well to ask of me. I've
instructed Faye to lay out a sleeping kimono for you and I've instructed
Jaken to
not bother us unless I call for him or unless a emergency comes up.
Kaede's Hut
Everyone except Inuyasha was in the hut. They were worried
what Inuyasha would do towards Kagome as angry as he was right now.
Would he really wait untill tomorrow afternoon to go after her?
"Wonder what Kagome's doing right now! I hope she'll come
back soon so I can tell her what Mongrel did to me while she was gone. I
hope she sits him good!" Shippo said in a spiteful tone.
"Well, Shippo, there's one way to make sure he waits until
tomorrow and that's camping by the well and I'll use sutra's to seal the
well where he can't get into the well untill a certain time. Although
when Inuyasha finds out he'll be extremely aggressive. Therefore, we
must keep alert tonight." A shiver went down Miroku's spine. Without
saying a word Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo stood up and gave a nod
saying they understood the risks.
"Shippo ye stay here for ye are no match in strength towards
Inuyasha." Kaede said.
"Hai, Kaede I understand but I'm going!' Shippo smiled back
at Kaede Walking outside all four turned towards the Bone-eaters Well.
