"I'll go with you, but first..."
And now? What the hell possessed her? Her tiny and thin punches upon my perfect armor means nothing to me. But that doesn't mean that they aren't annoying. I grab her wrists.
"Just Kill Me And Get It Over With!." She says in tears.
That's another thing very common in the female's world. They shed tears for everything. I, Sesshomaru, don't see the point of crying.
I know she is mourning. When I reach this place and found it half burning, I catch the scent of death. Actually, not death, but something similar. A few violent and scare lesser youkais just had their 'fun' in the village … maybe the parents of this insolent are one of its victims. One of them dare to come into my presence. Is a good thing that I already dispose of it. I don't like when Rin-chan sees one of their kind: she got nightmares after it. Ok. The insolent lost relatives and friends (the village was attacked). But… this entire tears shed is worth it?
"Get pull together and lets go!." I demand.
"I'm Not Going Anywhere!."
"Dare to disobey me?."
"YES! And I DON'T CARE!. Kill Me If You Want, See If I Care!."
"…"
The insolent drops to the ground and curls on herself, crying for a change. When chichihue died, his filthy second wife did the same when I gave her the news. I snort.
"Lets go."
"Have a nice journey." She mocks.
"You are coming with me!."
"DRAG ME, THEN!."
No thanks. I got enough with carrying Rin-chan. I walk to her, and put my foot in her head.
"Jaken. Leave us and take Rin with you. I'll join you later."
"Hai, master."
"And DO NOT drag Rin. Carry her."
"Hmpf… Hai master."
I put some pressure in the insolent's head. I watch her. She is not fighting back. With a little work, she'll be a perfect slave with no will. I grab her by her arm and set her on her feet for the 100th time this day.
"Too bad that you lost your parents, but life goes on. So, follow your master."
"You are NOT my master!." She growls in anger, as if looking me into my eyes. "Don't be a coward and kill me for a change!."
"Me? Coward? You are the one who has a death wish right now!."
"…"
"…"
"How do you knew that my parents are gone? Did you sent them?." She says in angry. Then, she punches my armor again.
"I just guess. You look like you just have lost a relative: I assume that those relatives are your parents. And I, lord Sesshomaru, don't need such creatures to do my biddings: I do it by myself."
"How can I be sure of that, you psycho!."
"… you don't have a choice."
She kneels touching the ground. Then, she do something similar to sniffing it and tastes the ground. She seems to considerate my words and hugs herself. She looks thinner that way.
"Those lesser youkais are messy creatures." I say.
"…"
"…"
"Can I ask you a favor?."
Can't believe this mortal! She DARES to ask me a favor?.
"No."
"I'll help you with your little beast. But you'll kill me after she recovers."
Nani?
"Please?."
This wench is disgusting. I cross my arms in annoyance. I, Sesshomaru, sigh… I will not say anything about it. Suddenly I pity this thin blind female. :shakes head:
"Lets go." I say. "And try not to stumble behind me, you klutz!." She smiles.
How come a female can change her moods so quickly?. That smile is similar to Rin-chan's!… specially when she is about to…
…HEY! I DON'T DO HUGS! LET GO, LET GO, LET GO, LET GO!.
"Thanks, Youkai-san."
"… master."
"Whatever!."
Two days later.
What, in seven hells, I was thinking?
THUD
Rin-chan is getting better, but this annoying WENCH insists to have a rest almost every hour!. She doesn't stop complain about the travel, the road, the weather, those damn earthquakes, and my way of raising MY girl. If she believes that she can do a better job, why she doesn't get a pup of her own? She has the mandatory parts…
THUD
And WHY she hadn't stop fighting with Jaken?. I know that the little guy is a pest, but did she have to fight this much with him?. I, Sesshomaru, am having a headache, and I was thinking that Rin-chan was loud!.
"Enough! Both Of You!." I order.
"Sorry, master, but this WENCH is so…"
"Jaken, I said enough!."
"Touchy, aren't you, Youkai-san?."
"You'll call him 'master', wench!."
WHACK
Another solid rock hits Jaken on the nose. I wonder how this female do that…
"The day you stop calling me names!."
… For a blind, she got a terrific aiming!. A perfect aiming. Almost like mine. She is sharp temper… Mmh… I like that in a female… ARGH! I never Said THAT:shakes head frantically:
"How do you that?." I ask, unwillingly.
"Do what?."
"That."
WHACK
Talking about that cursed aiming… a rock hit me near my nose. Thanks for my reflexes! I could protect my nose in time!.
"That?."
"Grrrrr!."
"Don't growl at me! If You kill me now, you will be as clueless as you were when you find me, and little beast will die at you incompetence!."
WHACK
"A wench like you NEED to learn some manners!." Says Jaken.
"HEY, THAT HURTS!… oh my! THAT REALLY HURTS! I'M BLEEDING HERE!."
"That's no way of addressing your Lord!."
"And That's no way of TREATING A LADY!."
"Really?. Show me where the 'lady' is first."
BOMP
"SILENCE." I growl.
I glare at Jaken after I bomped him and dig my nails in the insolent's throat in one perfect motion. I, Sesshomaru, see challenge in her face. What was I thinking when I took her with me?. She grabs my hand to take it out of her throat with no use. A bloodline stains her face and she is starting to cry… again. I touch her blood and one tear with my finger and taste it. Grrrrr!
"Sesshomaru-sama? Rin is hungry. Are we going to the castle?."
"Jaken. Go get some food for Rin. The wench isn't hungry."
"Hai master."
"Stop crying."
"I, Mikami, will cry if I want to."
I shove her to the ground and she lays there, motionless. Then she sits up shuddering. She keeps crying.
What's the matter with the tears?. Why did she keep crying?. She doesn't know how bad the tears smell? That salty scent is annoying!. Those tears hadn't stopped since we left her pathetic village two days ago!. I, Sesshomaru, wonder why.
I've heard before that when a human is taken from his home by force, he or she can fell ill or feel depression. The same goes when his/her world is shattered. But… did she have to cry?. I walk to her and try to kick her… I don't know why I stop myself. I'm getting too soft.
I, Sesshomaru, decide that I hate tears… except Rin's.
"Control yourself… don't cry in front of me."
"See If I Care!."
"That's it. I'll kill you tomorrow, at sunset."
"Do as you wish!."
