THE LOVE OF A MIKO AND A DEMON

CHAPTER 2

"Rin-chan!" Kikyo yelled out. Sesshomaru looked around. The two were worrying , but Sesshomaru was worrying less than Kikyo was. Then the two heard a sound in the bushes. They both took out their weapon. But instead of a monster of some sort, it was little Rin. Kikyo dropped her weapon and ran up to Rin. "Rin-chan! Are you okay?" The little girl nodded. "Im sorry! I didnt mean to scare you and m'lord Sesshomaru!"

The two were looking directly at her. " I just...saw something, and i thought it was lady Kikyo! But it turned out to be a bug! So i ran around trying to get it off of me! It was so scary! I was so scared!" She shouted. "Okay, Okay, lower your voice down little Rin...Its alright now.." Kikyo quietly mumured to her. The little girl nodded still shaking a little. The priestess gently hugged the little girl and cradled Rin in her arms. Sesshomaru watched in amazement.

Rin looked up at the beautiful priestess holding her. Kikyo started to hum a little tune. Rin really seemed to like it. A few seconds later, the miko began to sing to the lovely tune. "Kitto, Kitto, bokutachi wa. ikiru, hodo ni shitteyuku, soshite bokutachi wa ikiru hodo ni wasureteku.Hajimari ga aru mono ni wa, Itsu no hi ka owari mo aru koto, Iki toshi ikeru mono nara, Sono subete ni ..."

Sesshomaru leaned against the tree listening to Kikyo's beautiful voice. And Rin slowly fell asleep in Kikyo's arms, but stil continued to listen to her. "Moshimo, kono sekai ga shousha to haisha to no, Futatsu kiri ni wakareru nara, Aa boku wa haisha de ii, Itsu datte haisha de itai n da..." Rin's eyes closed slowly, and she quickly fell into her own dream world. Kikyo gently lay her down . She then looked over to Sesshomaru, who she found, fell asleep along with Rin. The priestess quietly walked over to where Sesshomaru lain against the tree.

"Sesshomaru..." She quietly whispered while caressing the beautiful features of the demon prince. "Sweet Dreams..." She said one last time before walking over to Rin to fall asleep next to her. Minutes later, Sesshomaru slowly opened his eyes with shock. He turned his gaze over to the beautiful priestess laying on the ground next to Rin sleeping ever so soundly. He sang the song the miko had just sung over and over in his head, until he slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.

The next morning Sesshomaru had woken up to hear giggles and laughing coming from two females. He opened his eyes slowly and found Kikyo and Rin cooking fish in the fire. "Ah! Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin jumped up happily. "Lookie! I cooked this fish all by myself!" Sesshomaru looked at the skightly burnt fish, and then averted his gaze over to the miko who was smiling, and he looked back at Rin. "I made it specially for you, m'lord!" She happily told him.

Sesshomaru took the fish out of her grasp, and she skipped happily to the garden next to the waterfall, and started to pick some flowers. Kikyo giggled which made Sesshomaru look over to her. "Well? Arent you going to try it ?" Kikyo asked him. Sesshomaru looked at the fish that Rin had made for him. He took a bite out of it. "Lord Sesshomaru! Lady Kikyo! C'mere!" Rin had shouted to them.

The two looked at eachother, but looked away. Then they stood up and walked over to where Rin was happily picking flowers. "These are Rin-chan's favorite flowers! What are they called Lady Kikyo?" Rin had asked her. Kikyo looked at the flowers she had picked, and smiled. "Those are called...BellFlowers, Rin-chan." Rin smiled. "Bell-flowers? Like YOU lady Kikyo?" The little girl had asked. The miko giggled. "Yes, Rin." Sesshomaru watched the two having fun. He started to walk away but Rin stopped him.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" He looked over to her. "Isnt Lady Kikyo as pretty as this flower is!" She asked him jumping up and down. Kikyo blushed and looked away. Sesshomaru looked over to Kikyo, and smiled at the sight of an embarrassed miko. Rin had seen this and smiled too. "Lord Sesshomaru! Your smiling!" she shouted out loud. Kikyo turned to see him. He started to blush., so he turned and walked the opposite direction. Kikyo watched as he disappeared into the forest. Watching him, she smiled.

"Lady Kikyo likes m'lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked her. Kikyo looked down at Rin and giggled. "Rin-chan...youre so cute..." The little girl smiled. "Lady Kikyo, lets take a bath!" She told her. Kikyo smiled and nodded. The two walked over to the waterfall. When they got there, they took off a layer of clothes. Lady Kikyo was wearing the white silk kimono under the miko outfit , while Rin was wearing nothing. "Hurry Kikyo-sama!" Rin jumped up and down. Kikyo laughed. "Okay, little Rin."

Rin ran and jumped into the water. "YAHOOOOO!" she yelled out. Kikyo giggled. "C'mon in Lady Kikyo! The waters great!" Rin shouted to her. Kikyo nodded. The miko ran and jumped into the water along with Rin, and the two played in the water. Sesshomaru leaning against the tree right in front of the waterfall, watched as water splashed the beautiful miko, making her even more beautiful.

Minutes later, Rin and Kikyo were still in the water when Rin suddenly brought the subject up. "Lady Kikyo? What was your old purpose?" Rin had asked her still splashing water onto the miko. The priestess looked at her in shock. "Why...Why bring up a question such as this right now?" Rin shook her head. "I dunno.. Its just, i heard m'lord Sesshomaru talking about purposes, and well, he told mee that we have no more purpose in life now. But..i want to know your purpose, lady Kikyo!"

Sesshomaru was now irritated. 'That little brat. Why did she have to go and bring up a question like that?' Sesshomaru thought to himself. Kikyo smiled. "I dont think theres NOT a purpose in life for us." Now, Sesshomaru listened carefully. "The purpose of your life is determined by you. And there is NEVER no purpose." Rin smiled. "Maybe your purpose is to like m'lord Sesshomaru!" Kikyo giggled while Sesshomaru blushed. "Maybe..? Who knows...?" The miko smiled.

Sesshomaru held the cheek that the miko had carressed the night before. "Hmph." was all that came out of the demon prince's mouth. Kikyo had heard that, and stood up. "Lady Kikyo? Whats the matter?" Rin had asked. The miko got out of the water, soaking wet, holding her bow. Sesshomaru found her coming his way, and he quickly leaped onto a tree hoping she wouldnt find him.

When Kikyo got to where Sesshomaru just was, she let her guard down. "LADY KIKYO?" Rin shouted from afar. Then, the miko did what Sesshomaru did not expect her to do. SMILE. 'What is SHE smiling about?' He thought. Then, Kikyo looked up and spotted Sesshomaru, looking as if she knew that he was up there. "Why, Sesshomaru! How nice of you to join us..." Kikyo said loudly for Rin to hear. "Lord Sesshomaru is there?" Rin asked loudly.

"How did you...know i was up here, woman?" Sesshomaru asked so coldly. Kikyo smiled. "Youre...the same as your brother.." She had told him. The demon prince looked disgusted. "Im sorry Sesshomaru. For...mentioning his name...Its just that..well..you asked..." She stuttered. But he leaped down and put his finger on her lips. "Have a nice, rest of the bath, lady Kikyo." Then he smiled a kind of smile that she wouldnt forget. It was a smile almost looking like it was only made for her to see.

A blush crept upon her face, and she held her finger on her lips, where he had touched. "Lady Kikyo !" Rin shouted. Kikyo looked at Sesshomaru one last time before he disappear into the forest, back to camp, before heading back to the water with Rin. "Sesshomaru..."
