Koi Otome
(Love of a Young Lady)
Chapter 7 – A Wonderful Day
Rin was preparing herself for her mysterious surprise. She was so excited that she felt like she was a little kid again. Rin had always her pretty smile on her face and everyone could say that she was returning to her true self and servants were pleased to see her like that. After all, Rin was again for them the happy child that Sesshoumaru brought to his castle many years ago.
Rin had bath herself in her private bathing room next to her bedroom. Sesshoumaru had asked her to do so when she did not want to tell him what was his surprise. Furthermore, he did not want to show her his private bath already. It was like his secret garden.
When Rin had arrived to her chamber, she had found a stunning white kimono with red sleeves with the same design than Sesshoumaru. When Rin had seen it she had her mouth wide open and she walked to her bed slowly by the view of this elegant and perfect kimono. When she had touched it, it was the best fabric that she had ever touched. It was a silk so pure that it was so soft and similar to an illusion.
Rin finished to brush her hair and put this winsome white kimono. It felt so light and comfortable that Rin only wanted to thanks her lord for this finest kimono. After an hour of preparation, she was ready to join her lord in the garden. So, she slid the door and walked into the castle. Everyone that crossed her way bowed in front of her. Soldiers, servants and any other person did it. Rin felt really shy and her cheeks became red. She had never experiment this before. Is this what we call being the lady of the Western lands? Rin thought.
At the end of the corridor, two soldiers opened the big wooden door for her. A bright light came from outside and blind Rin for a second. When her eyes became familiar with the light of the sun she was stupefied. The garden that is surrounded by sakura trees were all in blooming and a warm and small breeze was transporting some of the delicate flowers of these trees. But the most beautiful thing that she saw was her lord that was standing in the middle of the garden surrounded by all the pretty flowers in blossom too. His long and silver hair followed the movement of the wind with graceful moves. When he had heard the door opened he looked at Rin with a beautiful smile and with his attractive amber eyes. All the wonderful colours of the garden that encircled him did the most handsome Sesshoumaru.
Rin felt so cheery and joyful to see this unique moment. It was like the perfect and the more colourful picture that she had ever seen in her life. These real painting made Rin felt so happy that she looked to her lord like a passionate wife.
Sesshoumaru had seen his mate entered in the garden and he was extremely happy to see her so beautiful. He had never thought that the Western lands colour fitted on her. That only the white and a small portion of red could bright his lady even if she was his little sun. She was looking so appealing and from a highest demon rank, even if she was a simple mortal. Sesshoumaru smiled at her when he saw her petrified by the beauty of this location. He knew that she would like it.
Rin advanced slowly to her charming prince with the grace of a captivating lady. She arrived to Sesshoumaru's side and he kissed her softly on her forehead and she smiled at him and she grabbed his lips to give him a tender kiss. They gently broke the kiss.
"Thank you so much my lord for this wonderful kimono and for you true love, this is the best surprise you can give me." She said to him with her cutest voice.
Sesshoumaru looked at her and rose an eyebrow.
"Do you really think that it was your surprise Rin? You underestimate this Sesshoumaru my lady." He said before grabbing her lips again.
"This is already enough to please me Sesshoumaru." Rin said after he let her lips.
"But for my lady, there will never be enough." Sesshoumaru responded with an amazing smile that made Rin lightly laugh.
Rin hugged him with real passion. He will always be there for her, he will always protect her, he will never let her go, he will die for her, he will live for her, he will give her everything, he will lie for her, he will pray for her, he will change for her, he will sell his soul for her, he will always please her, he will… love her from all his heart and his body. Sesshoumaru smiled, they will always be together, until her death. His smile disappeared and his heart hurt. That was the only end for both of them.
Sesshoumaru put his muscular arms around Rin and whispered in her ears something that made her smile. He kissed her again.
"Now, let see what I have done for you today." Sesshoumaru said letting space between them.
He took the hand of his lovely lady and they walked outside the garden. Two soldiers that were at the gate bowed in front of them before opening the huge and massive wooden door. Rin stopped to walk and Sesshoumaru looked at her.
"This is … too much…my lord." When she was able to talk.
"Nothing will be enough, remember." Sesshoumaru said with a funny smile and let Rin's hand go.
At least a hundred of people were on their knees and they bowed in front of Rin and Sesshoumaru. She can see many caravans with a lot of furniture inside. She saw many caravans of jewellers, caravans of clothes makers, a merchant of horses, a musical troop and so many other people with different job. She was impressed to see all these people that were demons and humans all together. She smiled but she was shy to have so much respect for a simple human.
"I want someone who brings here a chair for the lady." Sesshoumaru said.
Already a merchant was running to the lords with a small tabouret and bowed in respect in front of them when he finally reached Rin's side. Rin thanks him and he returned to his place as fast as he came. She took place on him and Sesshoumaru asked that the merchants began to show their product to the lady and let her decided if she wants their items or not.
Rin saw this day so many items of all kind and even some that she cannot even imagine in her life that it could exist. She was really pleased by all these elegant and numerous gifts that her lord was paying for her even if she knew that she would maybe never have the chance to utilise them. She had hundreds of new kimonos more beautiful one to another. But she knew that her favourite would be the one that she was wearing right now. That remembered too much her lord, her love.
She only bought the items when she asked her lord if it pleased him. This is why she had so many, Sesshoumaru found everything beautiful on her. The simple ring and necklace could bring Rin irresistible to him, even if she did not need such artefacts, she was a beauteous creature without them.
Sesshoumaru let the merchants go when he saw that Rin began to be tire of these gifts. He thanks them all for being there in vast number. Rin had smiled when she had heard him say thanks, it was not often that he express his gratitude in public. She found it amazing.
When people began to be a little far from them. Sesshoumaru encircled his fur around her and came closer to her. He gave her a faithful kiss and he took her in his arms like a simple lightly sword. Rin placed one of her hands on Sesshoumaru's cheek.
"Thank you so much my love for all those gifts." She said with real meaning in her voice.
Sesshoumaru smiled at her and kissed her again.
"Happy Birthday Rin." He softly said.
Rin looked at him with stupefied eyes. She had forgotten her own birthday, but he had remembered even after all those years, he had never forgotten and he will not. Now she understand the meaning of all this funny and wonderful day that she had passed. She placed her head on his shoulder and rest until he brought her to his chamber. She was already sleeping. The warm and soft touched of his fur had always done this effect on her.
Sesshoumaru softly deposed her on his comfortable bed and sat next to her. He had no intention to sleep today, he was not tired, and he had a healing sleep last night. It was like if he knew that Rin was next to him, he felt secure and safe from any danger and he slept like a little baby. He smiled when he looked at her, how she looked like a pure angel when she was sleeping.
Sesshoumaru would have like to do his business work but he knew that if he let her go, she will feel like if he had disappeared one more time, so he stayed there watching at her and he was lost in his thoughts. His thoughts were simple, they were the projects for Rin and him. He wanted to build a new castle for them, their own and private house where they could have pups and watched them play and grew. How would they look like? Will they be more like Rin or him?
Even if he did not want to sleep, he was dropping in the arms of Kami like his mate already had done.
The morning came with another bright sun. All was pleasant in the castle and nothing was disturbing in the castle. Rin and Sesshoumaru were again sleeping when running footsteps entered into the castle, making a horrible noise. Sesshoumaru woke up fast and opened his eyes and heard to these footsteps. He knew them. He looked at Rin and saw that she was again sleeping. The door opened quickly without any knocks.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, lord Sesshoumaru…" A small and green toad said before he received a small rock on the head.
"What do you want Jaken?" He coldly asked.
Jaken saw that his fur encircled something, much more someone and Jaken whispered.
"Your brother is at the gate and he is asking for Rin, he said that she knew why he is there. But he did not want to tell me"
Sesshoumaru looked at Rin. She opened her lovely eyes and smiled when she saw his amber eyes but she had no responded from his part.
"What are you hiding to me since I am back Rin?" He coldly asked.
Now Rin lost her smile. She had to declare everything to him. She slowly sat on the bed and watched at Jaken. He was not supposed to be here, she sent him in the South for a month, and he should have heard that Sesshoumaru was back. She gave him a deadly gaze that froze Jaken there and he went out quickly of the room.
"Well my lord, that's a part of your surprise." Rin said smiling at him under a hard gaze.
