A/N: Well, I'm not sure whether chapter 3's title suits chapter 3 or not, what do you readers think? And by the way, in this chapter, you readers may find a line familiar. That's right, it has appeared in a story which I had read in a fanfiction story before. I hereby apologize to the author for taking this line. Hope you are not offended... special thanks to those who reviewed my story.. Thanks a lot... I really appreciate the reviews... so here's the chapter...
Chapter 3: Rin's impression of Sesshoumaru
Soon, Kagome and Rin met Inuyasha and the others.
"Why is this kid with you? Isn't she with Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked.
Shippo immediately stood up for Rin, "Inuyasha, don't be so unwelcoming. You are such a bully! This is no way to treat a lady! I think it's time you learn to be a little more gentleman-like. It's rare to see Rin." To Rin, Shippo said, "Hi, Rin. Welcome, it's been a long time."
Inuyasha went forward and knocked Shippo's head with his fist. A bump appeared on Shippo's head, "What right have you got to say me, brat?" Inuyasha started chasing Shippo around the place.
Rin stepped forward and bowed, "Rin is so glad to see all of you! Rin thank Kagome-sama for inviting me here! Konichiwa!"
Upon hearing this, Kagome remembered her reasons for inviting Rin. She immediately gathered the others, except Rin, and whispered something to them. When Kagome finished, Inuyasha was the first to react, "Why must it be my fang! Can't it be something else!"
"Shhh! Don't be so loud, I don't want Rin to hear this! It's meant to be a surprise! Your fang only needs half a day to grow back, so it makes no difference whether I take a fang or not, it's not like I'm taking your whole jaw, anyway! You better do as I say, or else..." Kagome warned Inuyasha.
Inuyasha put an I-don't-care look on his face and said, "Cheh, or else what? Who are you to me anyway? Just another woman..."
Upon hearing this, Kagome turned away and said, "Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha froze when he heard his name.
"Osuwari!" Kagome finished her sentence.
Thump (As usual... sigh...)
"you brought this to yourself, Inuyasha. You should have used your brain to think before you say. You should have known better." Shippo said.
"I think we'll better start. Let's not keep Rin waiting. She will be suspicious." Sango suggested.
"I'll help you take yours out, Kagome. Let's go in now." Miroku said.
All of them went in, except Kagome. She had something else to do. She needs to chat with Rin to kill time.
"Where are the rest of them, Kagome-sama?" Rin asked when Kagome returned.
"Ermm... they had something on... let's sit down and chat while waiting for them to come back, okay?" Kagome asked.
Rin nodded. They sat down on a grass patch near a stream.
"Rin, you've followed Sesshoumaru for quite some time already, right? What kind of a person is he?" Kagome asked. To Kagome, from the few battles between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru that she had seen earlier, her impression was that Sesshoumaru is a cruel and arrogant person. (Sorry, fans... that's not my impression, that's Kagome's impression...)
"Hmmm..." Rin thought a while and replied, "This is hard for Rin to answer... Sesshoumaru-sama is a very kind person. Sesshoumaru-sama treats Rin very well and looks after Rin. Sesshoumaru-sama is so kind as to adopt Rin. Sesshoumaru-sama gave Rin the courage to speak again. Sesshoumaru-sama cares a lot for Rin, Rin also cares a lot for Sesshoumaru-sama. Sesshoumaru-sama may look hard on the outside, but Sesshoumaru-sama is soft in the inside. Rin really thank Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin won't know what to do if not for Sesshoumaru-sama is like a father to Rin..." At this point, Rin smiled.
Hmmm... Looks like Sesshoumaru is not that bad after all... Rin's descriptions are totally different from my impression of him... Kagome thought.
Then Kagome remembered Rin's descriptions contained a lot of 'Sesshoumaru-sama' and 'Rin'. She asked, "Ermm... Rin, why do you use so many 'Sesshoumaru-sama' and 'Rin' when you are talking? Why don't you use 'I', 'you', 'he', 'she', 'we' or 'they'? Why must you refer to them by their names?"
Rin thought a while and asked, "Why can't Rin call Rin, 'Rin', when Rin want to talk about Rin? Why can't Rin call Sesshoumaru-sama, 'Sesshoumaru-sama', when Rin want to talk about Sesshoumaru-sama?" people had often asked almost the same questions as Kagome regarding Rin's language. In return, Rin will ask them this question, but the people will then turned away without answering her question.
Kagome, finding it hard to answer this question, replied, "Well... Ermm... I guess the way you speak doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that we can understand what you say..." Kagome was about to change subject when she saw Inuyasha and the others coming back. They had their hands behind their backs. They are ready... she thought and smiled.
To be continued...
