Chapter 13
The day Fluffy didn't come home
I woke up, Sessomaru was gone, as always, on some business. I decided to take a bath, and be ready for when he gets home.
Some hours passed, and he was no where. Rin gently knocked on my bedroom door. "Come in."
She slowly walked in. "Fluffy is not home yet…"
"I know, but where did he go?"
"I'm not sure, he just sort of left… Have you told him yet?"
"Yes, and you were right he already knew, before I even knew… He seems happy."
"We all are really glad he met you, before he was so cold… I mean, people say adopting me was the first sign that he actually cared for other people's well being."
"Really?"
"Yah, I've been told that before, the only thing he really cared about was finding away to get InuYasha's sword. And then defeat InuYasha himself…and who knows what he would've done after that…"
"I see… so, it's a really good thing we came into his life?"
"Yah."
"Otherwise… he'd be some sort of a heartless murderer…" As I said it, I could hardly believe it, the man whom children I was bearing, used to be a heartless--- 'No. I don't want to think about it. All I want to know is where he is, if he's safe and when he'll be home.'
"Hard to imagine that, huh? I don't know, I came here originally asking you if you know when he'll be home, but I guess you know just as much as I do. I should leave you alone now."
"Yes, thank you Rin-chan." She got up, bowed and left.
(A/N: BTW: 'chan' means cute.)
I sat there for awhile… 'Where did he go?' I could feel something was wrong, like he needed me right now… if only I knew where he was… I felt so out of place, I should be looking for him, but what if I get attacked, I could loose the twins… and even worse, my own life. He's never been gone for this long… what could he be doing that's so important?
The suspense was seemed to be eating me on the inside. I couldn't wait for him to come home any longer. I was going to go try to find him.
I leaped through the window after leaving a note by the bed. I didn't want Rin-chan to know I had left, and she wouldn't go into my room unless she had permission.
Running through the tree leaves, leaping from branch to branch, it was almost as if I was running with out getting anywhere, and like something was keeping me from getting to him, where ever he was.
back at the castle
Sessomaru entered the house, just as Shinte leaped out of the window and into the surrounding forest. He went into his room to find a note on the nightstand,
Sessomaru,
If you read this before I get back, I'm sorry, I was worried about you and went to look for you. If I don't find you, I'll be back before dark.
Shinte.
He had a worried look on his face, he didn't want her to be out on her own. She could get lost or hurt. Well, she probably wouldn't get lost, but she could be attacked. 'She couldn't be that far' He told himself.
Back in the forest
I paused, looking around… 'where am I?'
'I can't be lost I'm in the forest by the castle. What's that smell?' "Holy shit! It smells horrible, like something's rotting or dieing or something!" I blurted out to myself. 'This is horrible, I should definitely go back… This is disgusting.' I thought as I turned around with intensions of going back the way I came. But as I looked around, everything looked like mirror images of the same path I had been heading to get out of the woods.
'This has to be some sort of trick. It isn't real.' I kept telling myself, over and over again. But each time I said it, it was like it became even more realistic. The smell was more intense then before, and the forest seemed to be in a dense fog.
I started gripping at the tree branches for support, but wasn't able to grab a hold of them. As my vision blurred, it was like I could see myself falling out of the trees. I was so scared I would loose my children if I fell, I had to grab something, anything to keep from hitting the ground. I was to close though, and everything I grabbed at would disappear. Just a few feet now. I reached for one last branch, that had a familiar shape, I just was unable to place it… I missed, and everything went black. But I felt warmth surrounding me. "What's going on?" I felt the word come out of my mouth, but everything was numb, and I was unable to open my eyes.
Sessomaru's view
I was tracing her scent, she had gotten farther then I thought she had. But I was still able to trace her to a vapor dome of purple-ish smog. I was having a hard time seeing, I felt as if I was choking. Then I saw her, a blurred figure in the trees, she paused in mid-air, she took one small step forward and started falling through the trees. She looked as if she was confused between grabbing something or trying to land gracefully. That's when I realized her eyes were shut, and just before she hit the ground I had her safely in my arms and was carrying her home. She mumbled something but her words smeared together and I was unable to understand anything she had said.
