Winda looked up at the black sky, wondering if Kumara was right. She shouldn't have to be a maid for Sesshomaru, but if she leaves what would Rin do? She sighed knowing that she had a problem on her hands. She walked farther into the garden, thinking on what she should do. If I go with Kumara then I won't have to see Sesshomaru's face ever again. She thought smiling to herself. Then she frowned. But if I DO go then, I'll leave Rin behind. No, I gotta stay with Rin that's the most important thing. She thought to herself making up her mind.
"Winda!" she heard a young voice call. She turned to see it was Rin in her bath kimono, soak and wet. She ran to Winda. "Why did you run off like that in the bath chamber?" Rin asked. Winda looked at her puzzled.
"I haven't been in the bath chamber since you first got in the water. I've been out here in the garden, thinking." Winda confirmed her. She then realized she was wet and she was outside. "Rin, why did you come out here soak and wet? You know that's the best way to catch a cold." Winda said as she took her wet hand and started walking her inside, Rin sighed but followed Winda inside the castle.
"Is Lord Sesshomaru back yet?" Rin asked, being hopeful. Winda gave her a slight smile.
"He's been looking for you, he's probably upstairs as we speak." Winda said as she let go of Rin's hand and saw the joyful expression on Rin's face. Rin gave Winda a quick hug before running upstairs to find Sesshomaru. Winda sighed, yet again. As she walked into another room, she started wondering if Rin even needed her anymore. Those ten years went by so fast, does she even need, me anymore? I mean, she's still a little wild at times but she's already 17 years old, Sesshomaru can take care of her now that she knows the way life is. Maybe…Kumara was right. Sesshomaru sure doesn't want me here, that's easy to see. She thought sadly, but then she caught herself thinking about Sesshomaru. Huh? Why am I thinking about what HE wants? I couldn't care less of what he thinks and even if he did want me gone why would I care? Maybe I do have… no no no, that couldn't possibility be it, not after everything he's done to me! She thought angrily to herself.
Rin was so worried that Sesshomaru might think that she was pest again because of what Jaken told her. All that was running through her mind was 'Don't be a pest' Rin, you can't act like your gawky, goofy self, you must act like a young lady so Sesshomaru will like you and he won't think you're thinking even related to the word pest. She told herself in her mind. She was so busy thinking about what she was going to do when she saw him she bumped into something. She slowly looked up to see her Lord's beautiful golden orbs. Rin was so shocked that she was the guy that she was thinking so much about was right in front of her.
"L-Lord Sesshomaru." She stammered. She slowly felt the blush come to her face. Sesshomaru looked at her with not the least bit of emotion on his face. "Um… Good evening My Lord." She said to him as she bowed. He nodded as a good evening back. "How was your trip to he Eastern Lands? Was it successful?" She asked. Oh no! Maybe I'm asking too many questions! Um… think of something Rin! She thought to herself in panic . "Uh… but you don't have to answer that, its none of my business, those questions were totally unnecessary." Rin said waving her hands. Oh, maybe I'm talking too much! Sesshomaru could sense her nervousness and her panic.
"Rin, I must be going, it was… satisfying to see you this evening." He said to her as he started to walk passed her. Great, now I've chased him away! Rin thought sadly, then she remembered about the flowers she picked for Sesshomaru.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" she called out to him. She saw him stop walking and turned around to face her. "I have something for you." she said. "It's in my room chamber." She said as she walked up to him and grabbed his hand and started walking him to her room. Sesshomaru had no clue what he wanted to give her but he didn't mind Rin holding his hand. When they were in her room, she saw the flowers on her bed, "Here My lord." She said as she let go of his hand and picked up the beautiful flowers and showed him. "I picked these out of the garden, just for you. I hope they please you." she handed him the flowers. He gazed down at the flowers in his hands and then gazed upon Rin. Then Sesshomaru saw Rin's face change from joyful to disappointment. "Do you not like the flowers I had picked out for you My Lord?" she asked him sadly. Sesshomaru was surprised that she had even said that. He started to walk out of the room with the flowers, then turned around and faced the depressed girl.
"These flowers… they're almost as beautiful as you." he said as he walked out of the chamber. Rin was so surprised that her Lord had gave her a compliment.
Winda was thinking, trying to decide if she should leave or if she should stay. I need to make a choice, because Kumara will be back very soon. But… I don't want to leave Rin but she might not need me anymore. She's practically a young woman now, and besides Sesshomaru loves her he'll do anything to protect her. She's in very good hands with Sesshomaru. And besides, like Kumara said, he caused me so much pain. I don't deserve being his maid. He doesn't deserve me. Winda's thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone call her name.
"Winda!" she heard Rin's voice. She looked up and saw Rin running towards her. Winda smiled a little. "Winda you never will believe what just happened!" Rin told her happily. "Lord Sesshomaru called me beautiful!" Rin said as she jumped up and down. "So he doesn't think of me as a pest afterall!" Rin said giving Winda a big hug. "Winda I feel so happy! No! Happy doesn't even describe how I'm feeling; it's more like fantastic!" Winda frowned slightly. For some reason she felt somewhat jealous. "Aren't you gonna say anything?" Rin asked, then she noticed that she was frowning. "What's wrong Winda? Is it not good that Lord Sesshomaru gave me a compliment?" Rin asked innocently.
"Oh. Yes of course its good that Sess- I mean, Lord Sesshomaru gave you a praise. You deserve it." Winda said as she smiled plainly. "Now Rin, I have some work to do…"
"I thought your shift was over."
"Oh, um… I still have a few more things to do before I'm done, so why don't you just go on to bed now? Ok?" Winda said. Rin was a still bit confused, but she minded Winda's orders. She nodded and went upstairs to bed. Winda's smile faded off her face as she began to think. Sesshomaru is beginning to feel fond if Rin, I know it. He has…no feelings for me anymore. Winda thought to herself sadly. Wait! Why do I care? I wouldn't care if he even MATED with Rin! I don't care for that…that…ARGG! Winda thought to herself suddenly beginning to get angry. He could go to hell for all I care! Winda thought to herself bitterly. (Sorry about the go to hell part for all you Sesshomaru lovers out there, it was painfully for me to write that) She started to walk down the halls, not going to a certain destination. She was just walking to blow off some stem.
