Chapter 4: Fool

I looked up at him, and he looked down at me. His golden eyes were softer then before, actually they were never soft. This was probably the first time I saw his eyes that way.

"Yes?"

"Why did you sing that song?"

I blinked and thought hard for that moment. 'Why did I sing that song?' "I don't know, Lord Sesshomaru, I really don't know…" I looked down, in shame.

He looked at me for a long time; he turned around towards me and kneeled next to me, "Rin…" He was close. I looked up into his eyes and they were even sadder.

I blinked, and watched him come closer to me. I breathed in his breath, and our noses touched. I felt a strange tension around us; I felt a heat go to my cheeks. It felt weird and I wanted it to go away.

I immediately got up and looked down at him. "Do you know why I sang that song?" I asked him. He looked up at me and said nothing. He looked away and got up, and walked off.

"Come."

I nodded and followed him. I wondered where Jaken was, but that didn't really matter to me. I walked behind him, and held Ah Un's reins, while Ri Tori flew from the makeshift nest that's he had and to my shoulder.

As I walked, I hummed that song again. But I did it in a soft way, so Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't hear it … as well. I could tell Sesshomaru was trying to ignore me. So far he was doing a very good job, but I knew to keep my mouth shut and not sing out loud.

After a long tiring walk, we found that Jaken was way ahead to the trail we followed. He was setting up camp for the night. I found it ironic when it started to snow. I looked up and the small white flakes fell onto my face.

One landed on Lord Sesshomaru's nose making me giggle. I looked around and twirled in the snow, oddly enough I don't remember how the snow felt. But I know that I've seen it before, I just know it.

"Rin…"

I stopped immediately and turned towards Lord Sesshomaru, "Yes?"

"Come inside, its cold…"

"Yes, Milord."

I turned towards the cave and ran into the warmth of the fire. I felt relieved and the fire hugged my body keeping me warm. I smiled inwardly and sat near it, and blessing its warmth.

Jaken who was sitting there looking out was awfully quiet. Usually I would think by now he would yell at me for something. But I guess not. Ri Tori was on my shoulder also blessing the warmth of the fire. We both had our eyes closed and our bodies warm.

"Jaken." I heard him call to the toad. I heard him get up and walked towards Lord Sesshomaru who was near the entrance to the cave.

"Yes milord?"

"Get a blanket for Rin." I heard him say. The thought of having a blanket over me made me smile. I opened my eyes a little and watched Jaken at work. He pulled out a long fluffy blanket with a beautiful design placed neatly on it. I decided to get up and help him take it. The blanket was overpowering his tiny legs.

I picked it up, "I got it." I told him. He nodded and wobbled off again. I wrapped the blanket around me and held my bird close to me. That night I slept like a baby…

-While Rin is asleep, and when I have been tempting to write this part-

Sesshomaru had watched the girl sleep, for about three hours. Knowing she was safe, made him feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He couldn't help but think about the song she sang for him.

'Out of everything she remembered…' he thought to himself. She couldn't have remembered the ways to pester Jaken?

He sat there looking at the peaceful and angelic face of the girl. The fire made her face glow, making her more angelic with the bird on her shoulder. Deciding to take a walk, he got up and walked out of the cave. The cold air hit him hard; he couldn't help but feel a little pain from frost bite from staying out in the cold before.

He walked along the snow, making footprints as he went along. He walked back to where Rin almost got killed. He decided to investigate and to figure out what has happened.

'She couldn't have put anything on fire… it was late… she should've been in bed…' he thought as he went through the ashes. He stood in the middle of the broken down house. It was where the kitchen was supposed to be. He began to look around to see if there was anything wrong. Anything miss placed.

He sniffed the scent and smelled nothing out of the ordinary…. But…

Sesshomaru raced to the other side the house and looked around. Something didn't smell right. It was the maid's chamber. He looked at the ground, there were small bed, notebooks, and ruined furniture. He kicked the items around, until he kicked over a chair and saw a tiny bottle. He picked it up and smelled it. It was gasoline. Stuffed inside were ashes of paper.

Sesshomaru looked around, and looked at the dead bodies next. He knew where Emi's went. He had Jaken bury it, earlier that day. The bodies of maids, and servants were all there. A lot of the beds in the maid's room were covered in gasoline. He came across another body that reeked of gasoline.

It was a man, who looked somewhat wealthy. He had nice clothing, it was silk. Silk burned easily without leaving much of a trace. There was a long rope that was caught on his leg. It led to the outside of the house where they must've started the fire.

Sesshomaru smirked to himself. 'The fool killed himself…'

Short… but it's late. I'm supposed to be in bed. I'm tired and begging for no school… what did you expect?
