Daddy's Little Girl (A Sesshoumaru Story)
Chapter Four - Reaching
Sesshoumaru dropped to one knee as he reached his daughter. Behind him, Jaken and Rin continued to run. Being no where as quick as him, they took longer. Sesshoumaru lifted Trinity's head into his hands and brushed back a strain of her hair as he examined the cut on her head. Grabbing his cloth, he wiped away the streaks of blood. Behind her bangs right next to her right temple was a deep gash that stretched from her hair line to about an inch long and maybe 10 cm wide. Looking over his shoulder at Jaken he called out in a demanding tone.
"Water."
Jaken stopped quickly, causing Rin to stumble into him.
"Yes me lord!"
Jaken turned to run to the nearest stream for water. Rin however continued running at the two demons. She reached them and dropped to both knees looking into Trinity's resting face. Trinity was like a little sister and she would hate herself if anything really happened to her. Trinity's mouth slowly opened as she moaned out in pain and her golden eyes fluttered open. The first image she saw was that of a woman hovering over her. This woman was no ordinary woman, she was a demonic woman with long flowing silver hair. Her eyes were bright blue and she had pink stripes on her cheeks like Sesshoumaru. The lady smiled at trinity with a sweat smile only a mother could give her child. Trinity tried to talk but found she had no voice.
Trinity's next instance was to look around. She saw her father kneeling next to her on one side and Rin on the other. Jaken was running at them with a bowl of water. then she relised, Jaken was in mid run but not moving. No one was, except the fabric that covered the lady's body. Trinity sat up and found herself able to move away from her father and Rin. He walked to the lady and found her voice.
"Who are you?"
The lady smiled sweetly as her feet touched ground. Her outfit contested of an over sized kimono of pink and silver flowers and a purple sash tired around her waist. She folded her hands in front of her, concealing her hands inside her sleeves.
"I'm not surprised you don't know who I am. I died before you were born."
Trinity stared at her as the lady continued to smile.
"My name is Lady Ravamaru. Your mother..."
Trinity's eyes widened as she stared into the face of the mother she never had. Ravemareu took a step closer to Trinity and placed a pale glowing hand over Trinity's cut. Trinity winced but then relized she felt nothing. Trinity touched her head. The cut and the pain was gone. In it's place was a scar that resembled a dragon fly. Ravamaru smiled.
"Your so beautiful. You look just like your father."
She traced the moon on Trinity's forehead and smiled as a silver tear rolled down her cheek. Trinity didn't know how to react. All she could do was smile as she wrapped her arms around her long lost mother's waist. She cried into her mother's chest.
"Mom I missed you so much. Papa misses you too."
"I know my child, I know."
Ravamaru wrapped her arms around Trinity's shoulder and placed her chin atop her head.
"He raised you well. Your very strong... and stubborn."
Trinity chuckled and took a step back, looking up into the face of her mother.
"You take after him. His stubbornness, his strength, his persistence, and his personality. At least you have my looks."
Ravamaru ran a slender finger across her daughter's cheek. Trinity smiled then thought of something.
"Why are you here?"
"Why else, to protect you. I've always been with you. Remember three years ago when you were attacked? Do you remember hearing a voice call your name? That was me. I called your name to bring your attention to the attacker. But, you were not trained well enough yet to sense the on coming attack. But thats only because I know your father wants to protect you and not place you in harms way."
Trinity smiled as she remembered that day three years ago. She smiled as she heard her name get called. She listened and relised it was her father's. She turned to look at her mother who was fading away.
"Mom wait..."
"Trinity, you need to go back to your father. He needs you."
"But I have so many questions."
"Just remember I'm always with you..."
Ravamaru faded away with a smile and trinity found herself laying back down. The next thing she knew she was opening her eyes again and staring into the face of her father.
"Mom wait!"
Trinity bolted up right in a siting position and called out to someone not there. She stared back k everyone's worried faces into the deep darkness of the surrounding forest. Sesshoumaru placed a hand on her back and laid her back down gently.
"Rest."
He spoke softly then noticed the cut was gone. He looked closer and saw a scar shaped like a dragon fly remained. He looked out in the direction Trinity was looking and a small, unnoticeable smile spread across his face.
"Thank you."
He thought to himself as he left Trinity in the care of Jaken and Rin, then returned to fight Naraku, on behalf on his daughter whom Naraku almost killed.
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!
