A prince to find...Chapter 2
Last Time...
*****************************************
Rin almost fell back into the water when the figure of the man standing on the branch, he had long silver mane, and his deep golden eyes stared down at her. She sucked her breath in and let it out in a bone-chilling scream. Sesshoumaru had a look of annoyance before he jumped down and clamped his hand over her mouth. Rin glared before she bit down on his hand. Sesshoumaru let her go as she watched her breathing hard. "What the hell is wrong with you?!?" asked Rin. He didn't say anything just watched her. Rin wanted to set off into a screaming frenzy but all that went through her head was just how wonderfully handsome he was.
*****************************************
Rin stood her hair wet, water dripping down to her neck; the breeze blowing didn't help the matter either. "Well what were you doing up there?" asked Rin.
"I don't have to answer to you," said Sesshoumaru.
Rin sweat dropped. "You just did right now" she said, Sesshoumaru growled in annoyance.
"What are you doing here? Humans aren't allowed on this land," said Sesshoumaru.
"Why wouldn't they be do you own it?" asked Rin.
"Matter of fact I do" said Sesshoumaru.
Rin took in more air, Sesshoumaru was ready to grab his ear to stop the noise from reaching his ear, but she didn't scream. "Ok so let me get this you're the lord who owns this area and no humans are allowed, yet I have been coming here for years and finally after all these years you finally catch me and tell me and set me straight? I'm sorry but doesn't that sound stupid to you?" asked Rin. Sesshoumaru was growing very impatient, and veins were popping up in places that weren't healthy.
"Hey are you going to be ok?" asked Rin.
"Get lost wrench, I will spar your life but if I ever see you again then I won't hesitate to kill you," said Sesshoumaru.
"And the beast finally shows his true color, but oh well there goes a swimming spot" she said slowly dressing. Sesshoumaru watched as she picked up her kimono, fixing her hair, and finally looking at the demon lord. "Good day very nice too meet you my lord, I really hope that what ever large fragment of shit is stuck in your ass will come out and make you a better person" said Rin and took off running laughter lingering behind her for Sesshoumaru to hear.
He stood and let the water boil in his head before he finally calm down and took small deep breaths. His eyes found something sparkling on the ground it was a silver anklet. He picked it up and examined the anklet and somehow found himself look forward to the next time he would see her. Rin chuckled he wasn't going to stop her from going to that lake no matter what.
Rin walked into the hall with a smile on her lips.
"Shall I ask how there is a smile upon your lips while your sister isn't here?" asked a beautiful woman with dark hair and deep amber eyes, as she watched Rin bow before her.
"Well mother there is no big magic behind it I just went out and may I just say that I am feeling quite lively once again" said Rin. The woman laughed.
"Darling I'm glad to see you happy once again, but I have to remind you that we are to go to a ball tonight" she said.
"Mother why must we go to such dreadful things?" asked Rin glaring her head off. "Because darling you are my daughter and because you are my daughter you are obligated to attend" she said. Rin sighed.
"Oh yes mother I forgot that I was your daughter" she said.
The woman chuckled. "Darling it isn't as dreadful as you say, I hear there will be many handsome princes there" said the woman picking up her cup of tea.
"Mother I don't find the fact you are trying to rid of me funny!" said Rin storming upstairs. The woman chuckled shaking her head lightly.
Rin walked into her room and found a maid waiting to assist her. "My lady your dress that your mother picked out for you and also a few masks for the masquerade" said the maid.
"I thought it was a ball," said Rin.
"Yes, mi lady it its' a masquerade, her highness thought you might like to wear a light color to stand out, but if you wish not to" said the maid.
"No I will wear what mother has chosen for me" said Rin.
"I hear that Lady Noel will be there with Lord Mizuhira" said the maid.
"Is that so?" asked Rin.
"Are you not happy?" asked the maid.
"No it isn't that, actually its nothing" said Rin remembering the lord from the lake and wondering if she would see him at this ball. *What! Why am I thinking about that bastard!* Thought Rin.
"My lady are you all right?" asked the maid.
"Just fine why would you ask?" asked Rin.
"Well lady you just crushed the peach in your hand" said the maid.
Rin chuckled like a maniac and then shook her head. "It's nothing" she said. Finally after an hour Rin was ready for another stupid ball.
"Oh Rin you look wonderful" said her mother as her own dress dragged on the floor.
"Thank you mother you look lovely as well, are you trying to look for a new husband?" asked Rin.
"Darling I do hope you meant that as a joke" said her other.
"Of course!" she said rolling her eyes.
"Have you chosen a mask for the ball?" asked her mother.
"yes I shall be the one you call the warrior princess" said Rin.
"Wonderful darling" said her mother as she waved her off.
They were soon off to the ball, taking place at the Shiro (white) palace. They were told of the queen and how she was a beautiful mortal while her husband a handsome Youkai lord. Rin wondered what was so wonderful about them any way. Her own sister was married to one but still she found nothing amusing or wonderful about them. Rin had to admit that the palace was something to brag about, the surrounding area a lush land full of greens and flowers. Rin smiled as the breeze blew in, the smell of wild roses fresh in the air.
Rin placed her mask on and took in some air before she walked in with her mother before her. They walked while many bowed and showed her respect. "Mother does this place only consist of halls?" she asked quietly.
"Rin behave yourself, I do wish to find you a good husband" said her mother.
Rin rolled her eyes as they entered through the huge doors and into the music and conceited people realm as Rin liked to put it. She sighed as she saw her mother rush over to her friends and chat about how to find her a husband, her goal now was to find her sister and just spend the rest of the night talking to her. She walked around a bit and smiled when she saw a young lord she was accounted with winking at a servant passing by.
"Well little sister are we not in search of a play mate?" asked Noel from behind. Rin smiled and threw her arms around the laughing woman.
"How I have missed you" said Rin.
"Well darling sister I have to say I do miss you as well, but I promised my husband a dance. I shall leave you to hunt your prey" said Noel winking threw her mask and walking away. Rin glared at everything before heading out to the balcony.
"God damn it! It's like everyone is brainless in this place" said Rin as she sat down.
"Brainless?" asked a voice from the corner of the large balcony.
Rin looked towards the figure and almost jumped. "I didn't think anyone was here" she said.
He didn't say anything but just watched as her cheeks became red. He walked towards her. *She smells like that wrench from the lake* he thought walking closer to her.
"Um I do apologize if I have offended you" she said.
He snorted. "Hardly" he stated. Rin glared at him.
"I see that some things will never change" he stated.
