Good-byes Hurt Chapter 3

Sesshoumaru looked on at the little girl who used to travel with him years ago. 'She is no longer a little girl anymore.'

His eyes roamed over the new figure of Rin. She had soft curves that were accented by the skin-tight slayer suit she wore. Her face had thinned out and her lips were full and inviting.

Lifting her with his only arm, he began the short journey to his castle.

Rin slowly awoke, stretching her body out in her bed. 'Bed!'

Quickly, she sat up and took in her surroundings. 'This is my old room…'

Everything was just the same way she left it even though there wasn't much in her room to begin with anyway. But, she was sure everything was untouched.

Hearing a knock on the door, she said, " Come in."

Walking through the door was the demon who had left her so long ago.

" You're awake." Sesshoumaru said more as a statement than a question.

" Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin replied.

Sesshoumaru and Rin continued to look at each other. Both felt awkward in front of the other.

" Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked as she looked away from his glowing eyes.

" Hn?" He replied as he continued to stare.

" What will you do now?" Rin asked shyly.

Slowly, she raised her head to see Sesshoumaru's eyes closed.

" Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked with concern thick in her voice.

Sesshoumaru opened his eyes at the sound of Rin's concerned voice. He had been lost in thought, unsure of what to do.

" Do whatever will please you, Rin. You will tell me your decision at dinner. Jaken will come and retrieve you." With that said, Sesshoumaru turned and left.

Rin looked herself over and decided it was time for a bath. Getting herself out of her old four-poster bed, she headed towards the indoor bathhouse.

'Good thing I've lived here before.'

She smiled as she slid the door open to the bathhouse. 'A hot bath, finally!'

Quickly, she tossed her clothes and hopped into the bath. After cleaning herself as thoroughly as possible and washing off all the dried blood, she let her body relax and begin to soak.

'Do what pleases me? I want to be with Sesshoumaru-sama… wherever he goes. Hai! I'll stay here!'

Pulling herself out of the water, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked to her room. When she returned to her room, she was met by servants who immediately flooded to her and started to dress her. Moments later, she was done.

" Rin, hurry and go downstairs. Lord Sesshoumaru is waiting!" Jaken yelled.

" I'll be out soon, Jaken." Rin replied.

Taking a deep breath she opened the door.
