Daddy's Little Girl (A Sesshoumaru Story)
Chapter One - Seventeen Years Earlier
"Me lord!" The tiny imp Jaken approached the returning demon lord Sesshoumaru.
"Me lord, Lady Ravamaru has given birth to your child only a few moments ago." With this news, Jaken was walking backwards so to face his lord.
"Me lady gave birth to a beautiful girl. She had her mother's beauty, and your family's markings. Jaken's smile disappeared as he stopped walking. Sesshoumaru noticed this and questioned his imp.
"Jaken." Sesshoumau looked down at the imp. Jaken only looked up and didn't answer him.
"Jaken!" Sesshouma put his hand on his sword.
"I'm sorry me lord I can not bare you bad news." Jaken ran into the stone castle. Fearing the worst, Sesshouma's pace quickened as he raced into his home. The few demonic servants that wandered the halls all stopped and bowed to their master. They all had sorrow in their eyes. As Sesshoumaru passed them, their glares fell to the floor in respect and in their own demonic tongue, they all said "Sorry." Sesshoumaru reached the stairs and jumped them reaching his destination very quickly. In seconds he was on the third floor. He walked towards his bedroom when he was stopped by ten year old Rin.
"Lord Sesshoumaru-sama." She bowed her head as she stumbled backwards, holding what looked like baby blankets in her arms.
"Rin, where is Ravamaru? Where is my child?" His voice calmer now. He always thought fondly of his 'adopted daughter'. Rin smiled slightly.
"Your 'daughter' is in this room." She opened the door of a large room where a crib sat in the middle. A rocking chair and changing table sat off to the side along with other baby stuff. Sesshoumaru entered quickly expecting to see the lovely face of his wife. She wasn't there. So he approached the crib anyway. The baby looked just like her mother, only with her father's markings.
"Jaken spoke the truth." Sesshoumaru said as he looked at his daughter. Rin approached Sesshoumaru and the baby. Usually you never approach a demon and their new-born child, but Rin was an exception. She pushed pink blankets into Sesshoumaru's arms. He looked down at her in a confused manner. Rin smiled.
"She's your kid, not mine." She smiled, but his earlier question raced through her mind.
"Sir, Lady Ravamaru died after your child was born." Rin bowed her head and backed away.
"According to the mid-wife, Shadesha, your daughter has all her mother's beauty. I was given the baby to take care of until your returned. Rumors say your wife's body was burned in a ceremony already. They claim her beauty was all gone and didn't want you to see her like that. For you to remember her as she was before she died." Rin looked down at the floor, then over at the sleeping baby.
"I'm so sorry. Should you need assistance caring for her, I'm always here my lord." Rin spoke quickly then left the room. Sesshoumaru gripped the blanket in his arms tightly. No expression was on his face. He placed the blanket on his daughter and in the corner of the blanket written in black as the name 'TRINITY'.
"Trinity?" Sesshoumaru thought for a moment then relised it was the name her mother gave her.
"I'm sorry me lord. But I can not bear you the bad news." And with that Jaken ran as fast as his legs could take him, back into the large castle.
BACK TO BATTLEFIELD
Sesshoumaru got closer to his daughter who was lying on the ground next to the rock.
"Trinity..." He spoke to himself as he moved closer. It had only been five seconds since Trinity fell. The others were still out fighting with Naraku. Sesshoumaru's only goal now was to reach his daughter.
A/N - Now let's get something clear. The reason it's going to take Sesshoumaru forever to get to his daughter is because I'm using that slow motion technique as he runs to her remembering the past. Okay? Good! Please review. Constructive criticism accepted. No Flames (Thats Shippo's job only) Please look in my profile oo0AnimeChild0oo for all my other stories. And again, thanks for reading.
