Chapter 6- Make it so Easy
The barely rising sun lit upon a young girl rising from her blankets. The little lump next to her barely shifted to acknowledge the loss of warmth, yet she still moved cautiously so as not to wake the child. Stretching her arms, she yawned a little and glanced around. The others were still asleep. Perfect.
After adjusting the bed she had just abandoned to cover her little bed partner, she strode silently over to pull a small bag out of Kagome's yellow backpack. Her eyes lighting upon the owner, she snuck over and adjusted her blankets as well to better cover her friend and the kitsune she had adopted.
Silently making her way towards a nearby spring, she noted the hanyou perched on a nearby tree limb about 20 feet above her. Well, at least he'd finally learned to sleep sometimes.
Carefully, she walked over the path she'd memorized earlier. When she'd finally reached her destination, she looked around to secure the area. Quickly undressing, she slid into the warm water and began to slowly wake from her groggy state. She dove under to try and speed up the process.
'Things have really changed over time, haven't they. Months ago I wouldn't have dared to leave Rin alone for fear of being unable to protect her. But now...he travels with us. Who would've thought?'
Complications had quickly arisen from Rin's choice of a mother. Undoubtedly, she was Sesshomaru's ward, but now Maria was her mother. And Maria traveled with Inuyasha and the others. At first, Sesshomaru had left Rin behind with Maria, but that had broken the little girl's heart and made her cry for a night and a day. He returned, to take Rin with him, but she wept for loss of her newly-chosen mother. His subsequent 'solution' to the problem hadn't gone over so well either..
The group walks on, Maria barely able to hold back her sorrow. She had finally decided to let Rin leave with Sesshomaru, and now she had to deal with it. Suddenly, a tall, proud figure with silver hair appears over the next hill.
'Sesshomaru? What is he doing back? Oh god, don't tell me anything happened..'
Maria sprints forward to him, barely giving time for Inuyasha to growl in warning. Something was off. What was Sesshomaru planning? Stopping just in front of him, Maria looks at the demon lord expressively, knowing her eyes betrayed her emotions.
"Do not worry, Rin is safe, but misses her mother."
A sigh of relief escapes her lips. 'Thank heav...WHAT THE HELL??'
Suddenly, she found herself airborne, thrown over the taiyoukai's shoulder while he left the ground. The others are speechless, then they call in anger and disbelief. This is nothing, however, to Maria's reaction.
"What in the name of.."
"Rin cannot be without me, she cannot be without you, so we must stay together for her. And I am not about to stay in the company of my filthy brother, so you will leave them and travel with me. Understo"
"THE HELL I AM! YOU CANNOT JUST HAUL ME OFF LIKE A SACK OF FREAKIN POTATOES YOU OVERBEARING, BLUE BLOOD, CHAUVINIST PIG! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU THINK I'LL LET YOU DO THIS!"
"You do not have a choice in the matter."
"REAlly, is that so."
She didn't wait for a response. Instead, she begins to beat and kick him anywhere she could reach. Noticing his indifference, she reaches and draws out a scimitar, swiftly placing it against his neck. He merely levels his gaze at her. She narrows her eyes and presses the blade harder, and a drop of his blood slides down the silver metal.
"Put me down NOW."
"Try to kill me. It will take much more than that."
'Crap, he's right. I can't hurt him like this. Wait, maybe..'
'The nerve of this girl. But why can I not look her in the eye? It's as if my body betrays itself around her.'
"You care about Rin, don't you?"
"Yes, I protect my ward."
"Fine then."
Something in her tone makes him look at her, just in time to see her take the scimitar away from his neck and thrust the blade into her shoulder. He knocks the weapon out of her hands before she can deepen the cut. Speeding toward the ground, he can feel her blood spreading on his white kimono. Taking Tenseiga from its sheath, he slices her wound as the others race forward. She looks at him, and as he sheaths the sword of healing, she states
"Well, now what do we do?"
'That was a really risky bluff then. I knew about the sword from what Kagome had told me, but his track record didn't exactly guarantee my rescue. And now..'
Emerging from the water, she reached for a towel and sat on a flat rock, combing her hair.
'Our group has increased to include one and two halves, though that insipid toad should really count as an eighth in my opinion. Good thing he was sent back to the castle. True, there was a lot of fighting to begin with, but since Sesshomaru couldn't keep coming back to constantly visit Rin, there had to be a plausible solution. Still, I think the only reason he doesn't up and kill Inuyasha is because I might pull a stunt similar to that one shivers he wouldn't let Rin experience any loss or pain if he could help it, no matter how he denies caring about her.'
Rising from the rock, she dresses rapidly into her school uniform, only to look down at her outfit in distaste.
'Sure sign of needing more clean clothes #45. Reduced to wearing your school uniform with a skirt that is short enough to make a call girl blush.'
Spinning round, she found herself face to face with a silver blur that suddenly appeared from nowhere.
So she responded as any sane, 21st century girl would do.
"AAAHHH!!!"
Scrambling backward, she forgot about the proximity of the spring and promptly fell in.
Rising from the water, she coughed and glared at him angrily. A slight smirk of amusement graced his features.
"You shouldn't do that to people."
"You shouldn't make it so easy."
