Thanks for the reviews guys
How's the story? Am I moving too fast or too slow? Review your thoughts please…
Sesshomaru soon saw his castle and ran faster, soon landing on the ground to go faster, the wind had changed course recently and pushed against his form. He leaped over the gates and stormed into the castle," Jaken!" He yelled coldly.
The imp stumbled to his master, eyes showing full fear of her lord he bowed before studdering," Hello milord…glad you got back safely." He smiled weakly.
Sesshomaru growled back," You question your lord's strength…" He wanted to continue the lecture but soon snapped," Where is Rin?" His voice rolled out like a brick wall, plummeting against Jaken.
Jaken jumped," In your room milord, she was targeted once more, Shiawase tried to steal her child." Jaken explained coming in step with his fast pacing lord.
Only one thing ran through Sesshomaru's mind,' Rin's safety.' He managed to get to his bedroom in a mtter of 10 strides including the stairs which led to another hall in which his room was located. His golden eyes glew red at the thought of Shiawase; he threw the door open," Rin." He said coldly.
Rin's head was brought up by her lord's slightly concerned voice. She smiled warmly and set Haru back in his crib as she ran to her lord. Her arms slid around his neck.
Jaken blushed then bowed and left.
Rin then got the courage to whisper," You weren't here…to protect us." He voice was sorrowful, worried, upset, he lip quivered as she awaited her Lord's reaction.
The words rung in Sesshomaru's head,' You weren't here…' a new emotion clouded his head,' No! It couldn't be! I couldn't feel…upset…angered at me…never!' His mind cried out. His grip tightened on Rin's waist as he said coolly," I'm sorry." It came out in his normal harsh voice but he hoped Rin would accept his rare apology.
Rin smiled weakly, tears drowning her face," It's all right milord…" She hugged him and nuzzled her face into his haori, sucking in the pine scent that surrounded his clothing. She mingled her own cherry blossom scent in with the faint intensity of salt from her tears as a reminder for him.
Sesshomaru looked down as the young girl's head and his eyes began to shade over with lust. He immediately released her and stepped back," Rin, I will tell the magicians to break…I will defend you now…my guards are useless. They will be punished." He said swiftly. Then turning on his heel and began leave.
" Wait Lord Sesshomaru, I love you." He words fluttered to a mere whisper. But she knew her Lord could here them well considering the demon blood that pulsed through him, she smiled wider and walked to the window, looking over the magician she saw a familiar hanyou and miko, walking steadily to the castle, the demon slayer, monk, kitsune, and neko demons not with them. She giggled and walked to her dresser, looking for a nice kimono.
Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched at her words but her said nothing, just merely left though he thought about whispering back,' I love you too,' but wait…since when did he love her? She was merely a helpless girl who he had saved from the death demons for his own experiment, much like Jaken…right? He shook his head, a exasperated sigh escaping his clamped lips as the familiar scent of his half-breed brother and his wench filled his nose," They're here." He merely scoffed.
InuYasha retorted sharply," I am not going to Sesshomaru's just to see his damn wench's child! Besides, he is of no blood of my old man anyways." He and Kagome were fighting over going to Sesshomaru's obviously.
Kagome's anger really showed," We're going InuYasha! We have to, he made a reluctant trip to come see Yuri! So we have to see Rin's…besides, she needs baby supplies Sesshomaru said." Kagome said sternly for once.
Yuri walked beside her mother, her hand entwined with Kagome's. She wore a forest green kimono with a faded green ribbon that wrapped around her waist and tied at the back. Her feet were protected by a pair of sandals. Two white ears stuck out of her head, surrounded by raven-colored locks. Her steps were wobbly as she kept up with her angered mother," Mommy, we almost 'dare?" Yuri asked at the age of 3.
Kagome focused her attention on her daughter," Yes dear, infact we're here!" She cried out happily, gazing at the protected castle.
Rin saw Kagome and InuYasha and decided to greet them first. Picking up Haru she walked down the hall and to the entrance doors. She smiled warmly as she saw Sesshomaru walk beside her now. Opening the door the two walked out to the inu hanyou and miko," Hello Kagome-Chan!" Rin grinned wildly.
Kagome saw her friend and grinned," Rin-Chan!" Kagome said happily. She noticed Haru and thought,' That must be Haru…he has ears…but they're orange so Sesshomaru was right. He isn't Sesshomaru's offspring.' Kagome then looked down to Yuri," This is Rin, Yuri." Kagome explained.
Yuri giggled and ran to Rin, almost falling," Win!" She cried smiling.
Rin held out an arm to the young girl as she embraced her proudly," Hello Yuri, when I last saw you, you were just a baby…" She said grinning wider. She brought Haru to Yuri and said," This is Haru." She said warmly.
Yuri opened her mouth," Hawu." Yuri said gladly and kissed Haru's forehead.
Rin smiled then stood up once more.
InuYasha growled lowly at Sesshomaru," So Sesshomaru, sad because Rin's child isn't yours?" His voice was very mockingly as he spoke.
Sesshomaru shot a death glare to InuYasha," I am not jealous half-breed. I do not feel such emotion."
InuYasha smirked," Right, the only thing you can feel is your love for Rin." He snapped back.
Kagome looked at InuYasha and whispered," InuYasha!" Then she sighed and said," Sit boy."
InuYasha kissed the ground forcefully.
Sesshomaru snarled roughly then ignored his brother," Wench, help Rin take care of her child, teach her the things she needs to know." He commanded.
"Please." Added Rin; looking to Sesshomaru with rather cold eyes.
Kagome glared at Sesshomaru. Then smiled back at Rin," Of course I will Rin." She laughed and walked over to Rin, Yuri, and Haru.
InuYasha got up, an angry look drawn upon his features," Don't command her around Sesshomaru, you aren't her parents." He said remembering a come back he'd heard in Kagome's time.
Sesshomaru once more ignored InuYasha. He simply kept his eyes on Rin, or so it looked. He was actually looking at Haru,' That infant…he has a strong demonic aura…almost as strong as InuYasha's…which for a half-breed is quite strong…but how?' Sesshomaru thought wearily.
Rin was able to see Sesshomaru was staring at Haru and looked at her baby worryingly.
Haru was sucking on his thumb, he opened his jaws and showed his hunger by crying limbly.
Yuri heard him crying and looked to her mother," Why do Hawu cwy?" She pondered pointing a stubby finger at the child.
Kagome chuckled," He is hungry Yuri, are you?" She asked lifting her baby up.
Yuri nodded yawning," I seepy too."
Kagome smiled," Okay, I'll give you your lunch and then you may take a nap." Kagome said warmly before looking to Rin," Shall we begin?"
Rin nodded and held her baby closer to her.
Kagome walked over to InuYasha and pressed a small kiss on his lips before looking to Rin to see if she would make an affectionate motion towards Sesshomaru.
InuYasha blushed then said," We're not staying too long so hurry up."
Rin looked at Sesshomaru,' He probably doesn't want to be embarrassed…' She thought. She simply flashed a smile, swearing she saw a tweak of sorrow fill his golden eyes.
Sesshomaru heard the small friction of Kagome and InuYasha's lips then wanted some of his own. Damn those human emotions! But when Rin just smiled at him he couldn't help but frown on the inside, he quickly shook it off, the tint of jealousy flaring off of him because he didn't get any sugar. (AN: lol) He nodded then turned to his brother," I have business to attend to little brother." Then he strode away, his feet touching the ground silently.
InuYasha shot Sesshomaru a pissed look and growled lowly, he followed the girls at a far distance.
The two girls and their children walked into the castle and to Rin's room, all the maids bowed when they saw Kagome, Rin laughed softly," They must really respect you. The only time I've seen them bow is when Sesshomaru calls of their presence or he passes." Rin said quietly.
Kagome looked to her friend," You get use to it after everyone knows you're a priestess." Kagome said. She then opened the doors to Rin's room, setting a diaper bag on the floor she said gently," I got you a baby supply bag too…here, let me show you, just wait a moment…" Kagome said pulling out some crayons and a coloring book," Here Yuri, color while mommy makes you some food."
Yuri grinned and nodded and sat down a few feet away from her mother and began coloring the outlined pictures of 'InuYasha and the Gang' drawn by Shippo.
Rin smiled and shut the doors behind her. She took a seat a foot away from Kagome so she was facing her.
Kagome grinned to her friend," Your arms must be tired of holding him like that…when I go back to the Feudal Era, I will get something called a carrier. It holds babies in a laying form, all though it's heavier, it's easier." Kagome explained. Then she pulled out two blankets and a pillow and lay them on the floor, a foam pad was placed under it like a miniature mattress to protect the baby from the form. She reached for Haru and set him down on the mat, she smiled then pulled out a bottle," Now, this is what you put the formula in. This is the formula." Kagome said pulling out a container of powder, she then explained how to make the formula into the nice milky substance that Haru would drink," Now, you must test it to see if it is hot. If it's too hot it would obviously burn the babies mouth, in order to test it, shake some on your wrist." She showed the motion," It's perfect. Now you feed him." She gave the bottle to Rin.
Rin nodded as she soaked up all the information, she placed the nipple into Haru's mouth and watched as her song sucked it up steadily. She refocused her attention on Kagome though when she announced she was starting a new lesson.
Kagome took a break though when she saw Haru hadn't finished his bottle yet. Walking over to her drowsy/hungry daughter she fed Yuri applesauce, mashed potatoes, pudding, and some pieces of ham. Due to being a hanyou, Yuri already had her full set of fangs. She then picked up her daughter and looked to Rin," Do you um…mind if she sleeps in your bed?" Kagome asked walking to the bedside.
Rin smoothly replied," Sure!" She looked down to her tired son and stood up," Kagome, he is done and looks tired…anything else we must do?" The foul smell of human waste drowned out all other scents.
Kagome giggled lightly," Oh yes, we must change his diaper." Pulling out a diaper and some powder and wipes she reached for Haru.
Rin gave her son to Kagome and watched as Kagome explained the process of changing a diaper.
"Now, I put 50 diapers in here and will have Urincho deliver you more." Kagome said, Urincho was the hawk demon who delivered things to other places.
Rin nodded and set her snoozing son into the crib and smiled," Arigato Kagome-Chan." Rin whispered kindly.
Kagome nodded, pleased with her work," Now that you know how to take care of you child, all you need is this book in case you forget anything." Kagome chuckled pulling out a thick book. She set it on a small table beside Rin's bed then returned to her friend.
Rin smiled wider," I wonder what Sesshomaru-Sama and InuYasha are doing?" Rin said softly.
InuYasha was waiting outside," Geez, they take too long just to teach someone how to care for their offspring." He growled softly.
Sesshomaru meanwhile was staring at a note. It was wrinkled but had it's text written blood. He snarled as he reread it over and over again, each time his snarls become louder and thicker in tone. His golden eyes were now the color of the text itself.
Dear Lord of the Western Lands,
I see your pathetic wench was saved by some else besides yourself. Your damn lucky, for if she wasn't. Her heir would be slain across the floor of her room and so would she. Do me a favor; go check your borderlands everyday. That way I actually have a bigger chance of succeeding. Don't worry, for I will.
Shiawase mentioned that wench's idiot of a son had some undescibable power. For when she tried to pick him up, her hands were almost burnt to the bone…hm, maybe that stupid half-breed is a threat? It's your decision. But either way; we'll kill them both.
Chow,
Lady Shia
He burned the note slyly with his poison claws then glared at the door, Rin wasn't safe anywhere anymore…and what about her child? The thought burned a thick hole in his skull as he proceeded out the door and to Rin's room to protect her himself, for now and maybe even forever,' Wait, why am I, Sesshomaru the Inu No Taisho protecting her…I will not admit any feelings towards her; for I do NOT feel such things towards any mere mortal. I just will not allow anyone who is loyal to me die at the hands of such a filthy demon.' He thought sternly. He immediately ignored his brother and leaned against the other side of the door.
InuYasha glared at him," You seem pissed at something Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru replied coldly," Nothing of your damn business little half-breed."
InuYasha just growled lowly, he was almost over all the stupid remarks people made. The things they used to hurt him so painfully. The angered words like, half-breed or half-wit.' He shook of the memories of him and his mother and returned to waiting for the girls.
Meanwhile, Shia lay in a chair she had a smirk of pleasure on her face," Do you think he's gotten the letter yet, Durza?"
The demon nodded, his arms were crossed over his chest, his lips were creased into a line. No emotion except hate being shone in his eyes.
Shia smiled and replied," Good." She was busy reading reports on how many of her troops survived. Most of them did. She nodded at the reports then got up and left silently. She walked outside where her troops were strengthening their powers both physically and magically. Her voice was cold as she snapped," You guys didn't try hard enough. You pathetic losers all stayed alive because you guys didn't die trying to keep Sesshomaru's bitch!"
The group winced," Sorry Ma'am" They said bowing to the waist.
Shia growled back," AM I FINISHED!"
They winced again and replied," No ma'am!"
Shia ignored them and said," As punishment you worthless youkai and mortals will work for two days straight!"
Some moaned softly though they knew Shia could here them.
Shia set them death glares then returned to her castle.
The girls walked out silently but jumped as two pairs of golden eyes gazed at them.
"Sit boy." Kagome whispered sharply.
InuYasha slammed into the wood," What the hell was that for wench!" He snapped back.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again?" Kagome snarled back crossing her arms over her chest stubbornly.
Rin just smiled wearily at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru stared at his brother, laughing silently.
" Good, now that you've taught Rin all the shit she needs to know we can leave now." Inuyasha announced pulling Kagome to the exit.
"Oh no! You must stay for the night…please?" Rin argued beggingly.
Sesshomaru shot her a glare but she shook it off.
Kagome smiled," We'd love too!" She stopped InuYasha with a tug.
InuYasha growled lowly but knew if he proceeded in attacking the manner he would be 'sat' again.
Rin looked to her friend once more," You and InuYasha can sleep in the room next to mine. Yuri may too of course…right Sesshomaru-Sama?" Rin pleaded looking to her lord.
He merely snorted but nodded reluctantly.
Kagome blushed," There's two separate beds...right?" Asked Kagome.
Rin stared at Kagome," Um…no…why?"
"Oh well…InuYasha and I don't sleep in the same bed." Her blush became darker.
InuYasha had a display of disappointment in his eyes but that's all that he allowed the feeling to be shown.
Rin opened her mouth in an 'o' formation. She grinned then said," Then you may sleep in the room across from me, it has one bed and as for InuYasha…"
InuYasha quickly input," I will guard her and Yuri by leaning against the wall like usual."
Rin nodded by her smile became a frown.
Sesshomaru just quirked a brow but said nothing except," The sun is setting, if you want to go water the gardens Rin like usual, I would go now."
Rin nodded and looked to Kagome," Care to join me?"
Kagome grinned and nodded, InuYasha followed coldly.
Sesshomaru took look-out upon the roof like usual although Rin never knew he was watching her considering her left from his balcony.
InuYasha and Kagome watched as Rin watered the flowers happily.
Rin hurried and soon was finished, now her focus was on the sun," If you look just above the castle walls you can see it's peak.
InuYasha picked up Kagome and leaped upon the wall so she could see.
Kagome squeaked but admired the beauty of it.
Rin had a look of sorrow on her face as she longed someone to pick her up and show her the sunset at a perfect view.
Sesshomaru saw her face and jumped down," Rin, do you wish to see it at the angle in which InuYasha's woman is?" His voice was smooth and seductive.
Rin nodded, smiling the whole time.
His hands rested on her hips as he leaped up but took a stance in the tree, closer to the sun, he could see Rin's bliss in seeing the sight and was happy for a moment because he caused such an emotion to over come her.
Rin's mouth opened in surprise as she looked at the tints of pinks and orange. She soon smiled and hugged Sesshomaru," Thank you." She whispered before pulling away, knowing her Lord wouldn't appreciate the open romantic gesture.
Sesshomaru felt warmth rush over him though he showed no sign of it, he merely looked at Rin then looked away.
Kagome snickered as she pointed at the couple in the tree," Look InuYasha." She whispered.
InuYasha laughed loudly," Hah! Looks like Sesshomaru does have feelings for her." He giggled softly.
Kagome nodded.
Sesshomaru heard this and shot a death glare towards his brother and they glew red.
"Oh, did I anger you milord!" Rin said alarmed at his eyes.
Sesshomaru looked at her, retaking their golden state," No Rin." Was all he said before picking her up and hopping back towards the castle angrily,' I do not have feelings for her.' He argued with himself.
InuYasha and Kagome followed, a sly grin still plastered upon InuYasha's face. Kagome just smiled and nudged him," Stop InuYasha, your going to embarrass him and cause your death." She giggled. InuYasha stared doubtfully at her," Yeah, like the dumbass could even scratch me." He remarked. Kagome rolled her eyes and raised her brows chuckling.
