Chapter Two...All Alone Again.
(Rin-chan's POV)
Running. I have to keep running.
But my feet hurt so bad.
Keep running. That is all that matters now.
I think I'm bleeding.
Forget it! The pain my feet feel doesn't even come close to the pain in my heart...How could he yell at me like that? I was trying to help him, and he said he did not want me there...
The pain, I cannot stand it.
It hurts...My chest hurts...Because of him, because of me, because of...
It hurts...
(Third Person)
Rin slowed to a stop, and fell to her knees onto the cold, hard dirt. Her small, tired legs could not even hold up her light weight, and she fell completly. She rested on the dirt, stomach down and face turned slighlty so she could breathe. It took her several agonizing seconds to realize that her face was trenches in what she had thought was sweat. But it was not; tears covered her face.
She sat up slowly and wiped off her face, only to make her face brown with dirt from her hands that had pushed her into sitting position. She looked down at her feet, and saw that they were indeed bleeding. As she was running, she ignored the intense pain she felt as she stepped on thorns and sharp rocks.
Rin tried to clean herself up as best she could, but the dirt only made the bleeding last longer. As she bound her feet with the torn off hem of her yukata, she looked up and nearly passed out when she realized where she was.
The place where she first met Sesshomaru.
Her tears started up again. Whether from the memories that were now flooding her mind, or from the pain of bleeding, she did not know. Dispite her injuries, she got up and carfully sat against the tree trunk that a wounded Sesshomaru once sat against.
"No wonder he picked here to recooperate," she thought to herself,"The grass is nice and comfy."
The girl's eyes slid shut, and dreams overtook her.
FLASHBACK / DREAM
She had just gotten another cruel beating from her elders. Her parents had been killed a week ago, right in front of her, and they beat her and told her to get over it. She was mute because of it.
Rin walked down a path in the forest that she had tread much in the last few days. Her face hurt her badly. She looked up to see past a nearby tree, and back-tracked a few steps after she sees what it lying under that same tree.
A demon. But it was not like the evil, putrid-smelling and looking demons she was acostomed to. This demon was beautiful. He (a very feminine he) lay there, spralled under the tree, using a mound of what looked like fur as a pillow. He was unconcious and battle-worn. Blood-stains could be seen on his kimono.
Rin took a few steps forward to better see him. He had long, silver hair, that went perfectally with his outfit. Broken, black armor was encasing his chest. On his face were two pinkish stripes on either cheek. On his eye-lids was what looked like eye-shadow of the same color. But what intriged Rin the most was the purple cresent moon in the middle of his forhead.
He was indeed facsinating.
She desperatly wanted to know who would dare harm such an arresting creature.
It was many days later, and Rin kept going back to the wounded man, giving him fish to eat and water to drink. He always refused it, saying he didn't eat human food and that her kindness was wasted. But Rin persisted.
She had fallen more and more into the feeling of intrigue once the man had awoken. Under his painted eye-lids were the most beautiful golden eyes she had ever seen...In fact the only golden eyes she had ever seen. Also, it was his voice. A surprisingly deep, masculine voice came from him. It always made Rin feel more brave, somehow, even though he had never said any compliments to her.
She was beaten again; for stealing fish from the river, though she couldn't tell the elders why...For several reasons.
Rin walked to the man once more, dissapointed in herslef for not being able to get him a suitable meal. He refused to eat what she had managed to bring, she insisted, but he still refused. Rin gave up and sighed, looking down at the ground.
A long moment goes by before the man broke the silence,"Where did you get those bruises?"
Rin quickly looked up at him, but he wasn't looking at her. He paused, then continued,"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to..."
Rin continued to stare, amazed. Then, he looked at her with a questioning gaze. She smiled and laughed slightly, revealing a missing tooth due to the beatings.
"What's there to be so happy about?" he asked,"I simply asked a question. I'm not concerned, just curious..."
What happened? I had been so happy being around him, but now I'm going to die. I should have never gone back to the village!
Rin could hear the hungry wolves chasing after her. She kept running from them, determined to reach the man, to see him once more...
She tripped over a high root, and looked up into the mouths of the hungry beasts, then saw no more.
She was warm, alive. She slowly looked up into the surprised eyes of her savior. It was him! The man she adored had saved her from death. But how did he...?
He quickly stood up once he saw that Rin could stand on her own. He swiftly walked away, earning complaints from a toad-demon that Rin figured was his hench-man. She slowly followed him, determined to learn more.
END FLASHBACK / DREAM
Rin had been awake for some time. She remembered what she had felt like when Sesshomaru let her come with him.
Happy.
She had not been so hapy in her life, not even when her parents had been alive. He was her destiny, in a way, she knew it from the moment she layed eyes on him.
She had also realized in that moment that she loved him.
Rin brought her knees to her chest and cried once more.
What had she done to make him hate her? What had she done? Confusion roamed her from the moment Sesshomaru had told her he did not want her there.
Because he hated her, she hated her self...
WAH!!! Poor Rin!!! That should be the title, not Poor Fluffy!!!...No, Poor Fluffy is the title for a reason, and the reason will be in next chapter.
Review, please once you've stopped crying!!!
