Chapter 6 : The menace of Ritsuko, the visitor from the north.

To her dismay, the demoness had stayed long with them. Long enough to be exact. The woman is just irritating and stressing all the same. She was always there to steal the only time Rin spends with Sesshoumaru.

Rin sat on the garden that afternoon, she had gone tired of running into Ritsuko so she decided to hide herself in the deep garden of her Lord´s ground. But as soon as a shadow hovered over her, she knew there was no escape. She looked up finding the strikingly beautiful ocean blue eyes of the ice demoness.

"Ritsuko-sama." Rin greeted plastering a very sweet smile on her lips, insides were burning with unknown emotions, Rin might call hatred.

"Rin-chan, what are you doing all alone?" She asked sweetly. Rin knew exactly that the direction of the conversation would sooner or later land on Sesshoumaru. She always told her of tales about the past, about him, about ´them´. How they had been the most perfect couple. ´Bla bla and bla´ Rin thought trying to stop on rolling her eyes. She could never think of her Lord ever having a liking to a demoness with nothing but menace in her head, and of course a brain filled with straw.

Rin never thought that they would talk about herself as in, her past, her first meeting with Sesshoumaru. She felt embarassed about the short tale of her life, that seems so boring compared to the battles and conquers Ritsuko had told her once. She sunk lower and lower on the ground as she was bombarded with questions.

"What about your ´poor´ family?" She asked sweetly.

"They all died." She whispered.

"Weak humans really fade away fast, dont they? It is only a blink of an eye for demons such as myself." Ritsuko commented almost to herself.

Rin scowled, cant she keep her tongue in her mouth for once and stop the comments, of her being human. It kills her to be a burden, but being reminded of the fact is much worse, especially when you get reminded by Ritsuko.

"Why do you stay here Rin?" She asked again, out of nowhere.

Rin wanted to stand up and glide away. But out of respect to her Lord Sesshoumaru´s guest she stayed, thinking about a wise answer to spat on the womans face.

"Because of my devotion and loyaltly to Lord Sesshoumaru." She answered, looking straight at her.

"Further than that? I mean, I wont blame a mereless human woman to not be in love with Maru. He´s features are just so strikingly…."

"Demoness or humans, all seek the same, and that is power. I know what you seek, and I am telling you, it wont work. Lord Sesshoumaru is far more intelligent to be tricked by a brain filled of straw demoness, such as yourself." Rin spat, before she could even bite her tongue. She covered her mouth in an instant. Everything just kinda exploded before her eyes.

"How dare you say such things to me! I do not know what you did to him. But a worthless human such as yourself doesn't have a place here. HE WOULD NEVER LOVE YOU!" She shouted with rage, stomping her feet dramatically over the green grass, killing a flower by the process. Why cant this little girl, just face the fact?

Rin felt hot tears shot into her eyes. Why the hell is she crying? Why does she put worth on what this demoness is saying to her? She shook her head, concealing her face with her bangs. Her lips were trembling and she bit it down. She knew that what Ritsuko was saying is part true. She knew her Lord cared for her, but he would never ever swallow his pride and take her as a mate with a body that is weak just like the humans, he depises most.

Ritsuko couldn't help but praise herself for making the chipmunk cry. ´What a worthless whore! Insulting, a demoness such as myself. I couldve killed her right on the spot! Not only naïve but also dumb.´ She thought to herself, shaking her head inwardly, again asking the same questions. What does Sesshoumaru find in a child like that? She is far more beautiful than her. So why is her pursuits not working? She clenced her jaw. The more Sesshoumaru resisted, the more she wanted him. That was her nature. A true huntress. But to achieve the goal, she has to get rid of this girl. She closed her eyes for awhile, mustering a sorrowful look.

"I am sorry." Ritsuko apologized, automatically bringing a hand on her shoulders and patting it lightly to soot her.

Rin looked up, locking her gaze with Ritsukos.

Such pure brown eyes watched Ritsuko. ´No wonder Sesshoumaru wants her. Unpolluted and virgin such as this girl. No demon would say no!´ By that thought made her eyes shot wide, another menacing idea working inside her head.

"Rin, it´s alright if he doesn't claim you, I mean, being his whore would do, right?" She asked, putting up the most innocent tone she has.

Rin shook her head in dismay. No, not just that, she deserves him, his full attention and his whole being. She is the only person who loves him for who he is, afterall.

She knew exactly that Rin´s answer would turn into that. She triumphantly thought about the sentence that would finish off her victory and make Sesshoumaru hers. "The only thing that can be done is be a demoness yourself. Which is hardly possible!" She commented suppressing a grin.

Rin had always wanted to make her Lord happy, in any ways that is possible for her little mind. So this might only be the way to be able to be with him, without being used from the enemy, without destroying his name, or being a ´burden´…. She looked up, the night was beginning to fall.

Ritsuko had told her that becoming a demon is possible, ´if´ you let a demon possess your body. She doesn't like the idea. But after asking her once again for another possibility, she told her about a priestess who possesses a sword which can make a demon out of anyone.

She sighed, should she believe her? The journey is one rocky one, it´s SUICIDE! But,

Does she have any other options? No!

So, it settled, she´s going north, to the priestess, Murika.
