Together? Part 6
Inuyasha could do nothing but stare at the girl in front of him. Was she crying because she wanted to go back to his brother?
The famous cold-hearted killer who had slain thousands of enemies, humans included.
The Sesshoumaru she described did not sound like his brother at all. Not that he thought she was lying, just… it was impossible for someone like his brother to be like the person she described. she described!
Keh!
He grit his teeth.
It was hard to meet those eyes. So.. innocent and her tears so.. pure. Like she alone represented all things pure.
Like...
Kagome...
He nearly lost himselves in thought.
It was impossible for him to see whysuch innocence would want to travel with his evil brother.
His cold-hearted, bastard of brother.
How could someone like her want to go back to someone like Sesshoumaru?
Those eyes...
He did not want the innocence and purity to dissappear. Like his mother's happiness had dissappeard as his father died. He never knew his father...
Sesshoumaru had.
Inuyasha hated that fact.
But during the battle... he was surprised and confused about how his brother had acted. Perhaps the brother had tried to…
Keh!
He snorted.
"You are being a baka, girl. Sesshoumaru is a cold-hearted killer and nothing else"
Inuyasha did not feel like talking any mroe of the subejct, he was too confused, but he was forced by those innocent eyes and the tears that welled up inside them.
"N-No... don't cry, girl!"
Inuyasha almost panicked when they did that. When Kagome cried, it confused him to the level of panick and when she made those heartbreaking noises...
Why?
he could simply not understand. Why was she crying.
"Sesshoumaru will save me" she croaked.
"He... he always does"
Inuyasha's ears twitched when she added those last words.
Keh! His brother would never bother saving someone.
Rin clung to the hope of Sesshoumaru rescuing her. Otherwise she would feel so lost and lonely. She trusted Sesshoumaru. She always had. Rin knew what Inuyasha said was wrong. Yes, her Lord Sesshoumaru had killed enemies. But they had threatened him first.
He had not killed anyone who had not threatened him first or tried to kill her.
Her heart ached.
She felt her whole soul screaming. Flee.
Flee.
When Inuyasha became distracted by a soft voice calling his name, she saw her chance and fled.
"Oi! Wait! Stop girl!"
She also heard Kagome's voice yell for her to stop, but ignored them.
How could I? How could I have spoken to Lord Sesshoumaru's enemy? He was the one who hurt Lord Sesshoumaru and is evil!
Her heart beat so fast she thought it might stop, when she ran thru the village's gate.
Straight ahead was the gigantic forest that which Sesshoumaru had fled into.
Because she had traveled so much, the run did not fatigue her almost at all. Her young and strong legs bore her into the forest. She jumped and avoided branches and tried to avoid slipping on something.
The air was cool, beginning to be a bit cold.
But because she ran, she did not feel the chill in the air.
It was a very bad idea to call out for him. She knew that enemies could hear her. Silently she slowed the pace and looked all aroung her.
The foret was dark and shadowy.
She swallowed hard and relaxed. Her senses, used to live in the forest and hunt on her own, slowly developed to be a bit better than any average human.
She breathed in the night air.
Freedom.
With a smile on her lips, she started looking for Sesshoumaru.
Night turned to day.
Day to night.
She was hungry. With the hunter's speed and agility, she found a fish in a nearby river and ate it raw. It did not taste well, but it was better than nothing.
After that, she continued.
Where was he?
She remembered a song she had sang when she was younger and began singing it.
"Lord Sesshoumaru where are you?
Lord Sesshoumaru I will wait
Lord Sesshoumaru will soon be back
Lord Sesshoumaru I will wait
Lord Sesshoumaru where are you?"
She sang those words and happily plucked some flowers. Was he still injured? Perhaps he would be happy if she gave him flowers. He had never bothered, but she knew he liked them.
With happy hums and singing, she went on. The forest became more and more dark and she more and more sleepy.
With a big yawn she laid down next to a tree and fell asleep.
Lord Sesshoumaru... where are you?
