Chapter Four- Cliff-hangers
Rin was on her way back to the table when the small man she had seen when she was outside the house and the same man Sesshoumaru had addressed as 'Jaken' tapped her on the shoulder.
"Miss Rin?" he enquired "There is a telephone call for you, it is urgent"
Rin nodded and followed the small, frog like man across the room, balancing on her crutches. She sat on the chair near the phone and held the receiver to her ear, the noise was fuzzy and distant, she guessed it was a cell phone.
"Wzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfzzzzzz...Rin?" the voice came so suddenly and accusingly it scared her. Not knowing what to do, she blew into the phone, hoping they would know she was mute.
"Wzzzzzzz...You...Wzzzzzz...think...wzzzzz...you've...FZZZZZZZ...WON?! "
Rin gripped the phone, frozen.
"You...haven't won! Wzzzz... you should have died in that alley, where you belong. A mistake like that won't happen again!"
The talking broke off into a manic laughing. Rin slammed the phone down, biting her bottom lip.
'Naraku' her mind whispered, the thought trickling through her mind like ice. She sprang from the wooden chair, not bothering to pick up her crutches and she ran, limping, up the stairs. Unfortunately, when she reached the top she fell over, exhausted from the pain, her vision blurred slightly and she blacked out.
---
Rin opened her eyes, as her blurry vision cleared, she realised she was no longer in the hall but in her room, she sat up. As soon as she did a hand thrust a piece of paper in front of her eyes. She grabbed it and read the writing on it, her face fell.
'I'M WATCHING YOU, RIN. LOVE FROM NARAKU.'
She pushed the letter aside and looked up at the person holding it. Sesshoumaru.
'What's the meaning of this? ' she signed
'I hoped you would know ' he signed, glaring, letting the letter fall to the floor.
'What do you mean? ' Rin's brow furrowed in misunderstanding. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. Rin leant back onto the pillows.
'I mean, I got one too! Who the hell is 'Naraku'?'
'None of your business, what did yours say?'
'None of your business.' He replied, mirroring her expression. He left the room by way of the bathroom, dodging the pillow aimed at his head.
'Git' Rin thought, leaning over the side of the bed, looking at the note on the floor. She picked it up and went over to the window, ripping the note to tiny pieces; she threw it out of the window.
---
Sesshoumaru chucked the useless note in the bin, laying down on his bed and closing his eyes. The words burned into his memory.
'STAY AWAY FROM MY RIN, SESSHOUMARU. NARAKU'
Well, he decided, turning over, Naraku didn't have to worry about that. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
---Sesshoumaru's dream---
He was standing on a cliff, staring out into the sea. It was silent but not the controlled silence he was used to. He felt free. Suddenly, someone took hold of his hand. He would normally be repulsed, and snatch his hand away but he didn't want to. He turned, to see who it was that made him feel so comfortable. He turned to see a woman, her face shadowed but he could tell she was smiling, she went to the cliff edge. She was waving her arms out to sea, and he smiled inwardly at her childish antics, stepping behind her. The sun stopped shining and it was night, storm clouds gathered, and wind picked up. She turned to face him and reached out her hand, but she wasn't smiling any longer. Her hand remained in the air, desperate; an illuminated tear fell on the grass below. He tried to reach for her but was frozen to the spot and watched in horror as the woman fell backwards off of the cliff. He ran to the cliff edge and grabbed the woman's hand, tears still falling down onto the rocks below, she looked up and he saw her face.
"R-Rin?" he said, to his own surprise. Her eyes widened, and her hands slipped from his grasp. She fell into the blackness, calling his reaching desperately upwards in a pointless effort. Tears fell into the blackness with her. His tears.
"Rin!"
---Sesshoumaru's dream end--- (AN: Mwahaha! My best dream sequence ever!)
Sesshoumaru shot up in his bed in a cold sweat, a dream, he decided, not quite believing it himself. It was so real, so strange. A shadow passed over his bed. He didn't make any movement to show that he'd seen the person in the room. Instead he stretched and as the shadow moved closer he smacked them in the head.
There was a small thump as the person hit the floor, Sesshoumaru flicked on a lamp and stood over a rather swirly eyed Rin.
She stood up, nursing a bump on her head.
'What are you doing in my room? ' he demanded.
'Nothing!' she protested
'Do nothing in your own room!'
'Fuck off!'
'You fuck off, this is my room! Why are you in here?'
Rin's angry expression became one of extreme embarrassment. And she looked away from him. He crossed his arms. She continued to stare towards the bin near the window.
'Well?' Sesshoumaru demanded
'Well...I was scared so...I just came in here to see if you were awake!' she finished slowly.
'You were scared.' He repeated 'Of what exactly? The bed?'
She sat down on his bed, which annoyed him even more.
'I got a call from Naraku today'
Sesshoumaru sat down next to her and she proceeded to tell him everything.
---
Rin went back into her own room, sighing, Sesshoumaru was now officially involved with her problems. But that wasn't what was on her mind.
---Flashback---
She entered Sesshoumaru's room silently, biting her bottom lip, she left the door open so that the light from the bathroom poured into the dark room. She walked over to his bed and poked him. To her surprise he grabbed her wrist, she gasped. And her eyes widened as his lips moved.
"R-Rin?"
She drew in breath quickly and wriggled free of his tight grasp. His hand moved around the space where her hand had been previously.
"Rin!"
She stepped backwards from the bed and fled to a corner of the room by the window. Knocking over the bin, he shot into a sitting position faster than she'd ever seen anyone move.
She accidentally put her hand on a piece of paper, picking it up she read the words printed on it.
'STAY AWAY FROM MY RIN, SESSHOUMARU. NARAKU'
She gasped and made a run for her room, when a sharp slap came in contact with her head.
---End of Flashback---
She laid on her bed and sighed, Sesshoumaru had talked. He'd said her name.
'Sesshoumaru, what were you dreaming of?' she thought
'See, you do like him' a small voice argued.
'No I don't.'
'Yes, you do'
'NO I DON'T!'
'YES, YOU DO!'
'BUT I DON'T!'
'BUT YOU DO!'
'Liar!'
'You can't deny that he's cute' said the voice dreamily.
'YES I CAN!'
Arguing with her conscience she fell into an uneasy sleep.
---
Sesshoumaru sighed, looking at his reflection, his fear had been confirmed. He opened his mouth again and glared at his reflection, gripping the sides of the sink.
"Rin" he said.
