Love the living, love the dead
Chapter one
The Broken Heart,
(A/N) I do not own any of the InuYasha characters.
Hello everyone sorry for the long wait!
I had stuff to do and still have a lot to do so I thought I could get 10 reviews from you all until I was done with my work. Unfortunately I didn't and I made you poor guys wait. I'm truly sorry hope this chapter makes up for it.
Rin watched Sesshoumaru carefully, fearing that if she turned away he would disappear like he did so long ago. She sat silently on Ah-Un's back awaiting for what ever Sesshoumaru planed for her.
She didn't expect to be taken back to his castle after he left her so long, and she prepared for the worst. Though she still knew if he were to drop her off at some other human village her heart would be torn.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?" She asked quietly wondering if he was just another illusion. He looked down at her in response, which made her lips curl into a small smile. "The village is gone."
Sesshoumaru watched as tears slid down Rin's once rosy cheeks, but her small smile never fading. Not sure of how to respond he looked forward once again. "Are you going to leave me Sesshoumaru?" He felt a bit of confusion wash over him as Rin asked him that question. "Are you going to leave me again?"
"No, Rin." Sesshoumaru said with his usual emotionless voice.
"Do I get to stay with you Sesshoumaru?"
"If you wish Rin." Sesshoumaru said. Though he hadn't answered right away he found her questions confusing and to be honest he didn't really know how to answer one.
"May I ask something of you Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"…Yes."
"Will you promise not to leave again; will you promise I can stay?" Rin frowned when Sesshoumaru didn't answer. This isn't a dream. He is real... only in a dream would Sesshoumaru promise me these things, only in a dream. Rin thought, though it did sadden her a bit she let that small smile return.
"Yes Rin."
The star lit night sheltered over the earths soil, silence grew through the minds of the sleeping. For two days he had tried to keep himself from dieing, he had been successful but now the wound was starting to become infected.
He cursed the girl who had done this to him; her brown eyes would haunt him just knowing she was still alive. He had killed her long ago and even thought she had turned into ashes just like the rest of her village.
Jiro winced as he tried to sit up; cold sweat fell from his brow from the many days he had been traveling. His cold gray eyes flared with anger and pain, black greasy hair fell over his brawny shoulders.
I can't die until that witch is dead! I will kill her, she deserves a painful death and I will be the one to give it to her! He thought in rage. His hands clenching in tight fists, a thin line of blood fell from his nails.
Jiro looked frantically around in hopes there could be something to aid him. When nothing caught his cold star he growled. He wouldn't let himself fall by some worthless girl. Turning on his back tears fell from his eyes as the numb pain flew through his whole body.
He crawled in any direction, he crawled for anything to find. "You will be mine witch!" He hissed through clenched teeth. Suddenly something white appeared in front of him. His eyes widened and he looked up to see what it was.
Rin was still shocked from Sesshoumaru's answer; she had even jumped off of Ah-Un and grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand to feel the soft skin and to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Of course this made Sesshoumaru extremely uncomfortable, and she was surprised to see shock written all over his face.
Though after awhile he pulled away, and growled at her which she found normal. Rin looked around her, a large warm smile spread across her face. Though it shortened a bit when she realized who was missing.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, where is Jaken-sama?" Rin asked looking up at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru didn't respond like he sometimes never did and she suspected Jaken was either at the castle or wouldn't return for awhile.
Finally they had reached the castle and Rin had tried to keep herself calm but her excitement got the better of her. She skipped along side with Sesshoumaru noting to herself all the things she would do first.
She wrinkled her nose when she caught her smell, which would be the first thing to change. She blushed slightly Sesshoumaru must have had a hard time dealing with her smell for so long.
"Sesshoumaru-sama...-"
"Fiancé, you're finally back." The soft voice that interrupted Rin's made her flinch. She admittedly caught the word fiancé and her head shot in the direction from where she heard the voice.
Standing in front of Sesshoumaru and herself was the most beautiful youkai sp? woman. Long black curls twirled around her high cheek bones and neck. Pale green eyes stared slightly up at Sesshoumaru. Her skin was just as pale as Sesshoumaru's and she had black markings on her cheeks just like Sesshoumaru's.
The beautiful youkai looked down at Rin and gave her a beautiful smile. Her long eye lashes brushed against her soft skin when ever they closed. She wore a white gown that fell down to her ankles.
Rin tried to smile but she was over come with shock and jealousy had already come through her. "H-Hello." Rin managed to say without tears dropping.
The youkai's smile was replaced with a frown. "Are you alright? You look…" the woman trailed off trying not to offend Rin.
"I-I" Rin was speechless; her heart was slowly being torn.
"This is Rin, Sada she had some problems but it is taken care of now." Sesshoumaru informed.
Sada nodded slowly, then she walked to Sesshoumaru planting a light kiss on his lips and linking her arm with his. "She is human Sesshoumaru." Sada whispered in his ear her tone filled with shock.
Sesshoumaru nodded he still was a little shocked himself from finding Rin. After he had left her he didn't expect to bring her back. Though when he saw her he felt fear for her, and he refused to leave her and not take her to his castle.
Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin who had a large frown on her face. He had a feeling it wasn't best for Sada and Rin to meet. "Rin you must have been here before?" Sada asked interrupting Sesshoumaru's and Rin's thoughts.
"Yes." Rin whispered her voice sounded weak and she needed a quick escape before she let the tears that threatened her eyes to fall.
Sada stared at her for a moment, "would you like me to show you around Rin? Sesshoumaru has some work to do, and I have some free time." Sada said softly. Rin stiffened she didn't want to spend time with Sada but if it could get her away from Sesshoumaru so he couldn't see her tears she'd take the offer.
Slowly and hesitantly she nodded. Sada smiled then let go of Sesshoumaru's arm and led the way down the halls. Rin was happy she was able to run since Sada was moving quickly.
Rin wanted to scream at that moment. Does Sesshoumaru love her? Would he have let her kiss him if he didn't? Tears started to fall, and she let out a small gasp as she felt the pain of her heart being torn. She loved Sesshoumaru, and she knew she could never have him but seeing him with another woman hurt her lot more then she thought it would.
Sada looked over her shoulder and at Rin. Her long strides still graceful just like Sesshoumaru was, but it wasn't surprising she was a youkai after all. "Is… something wrong Rin?" Sada asked coming to a stop.
Rin looked up and for some reason she hated Sada, and she knew it was wrong. "Yes… I'm just thinking of my village…" Rin whispered her tears becoming harder.
Sada nodded slightly, "if you wish we can take you back…" she said softly. Actually Sada had wished Rin would go back. She thought Sesshoumaru mad, but then she did hear rumors when she first came to Tokyo about Sesshoumaru and a little girl named Rin.
Rin wanted to scream out telling Sada she did want to go back, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She would have rather seen Sesshoumaru being happy with a different woman then her then ever be without him again.
"I have no… village to go to now." Rin whispered.
"I'm so sorry Rin." Sada said, and then she started to lead Rin around the castle again. "Where was your last room when you were here Rin?"
"I-I don't remember… it's been along time and… I only remembered one thing." Rin said. Sada nodded she had a feeling it was Sesshoumaru who she remembered and this made her feel bad for coming up to them the way she did.
Both fell silent and instead of showing her everything that she could, Sada took Rin to her own bedroom thinking she needed time to be alone. Rin thanked her and she was left to pity herself.
Rin laid on the bed in despair, her fist clenched the silk blankets thirsting to just hit the pillow over and over again. She looked up at the ceiling her sobs quiet in fear Sesshoumaru was close and would hear her. I want to wake up from this nightmare now… she thought.
Rin closed her eyes and opened them as if to wake up and find she still lived with Haruko. When she didn't find herself there she kept blinking, she wished so badly that it was all a dream and Sesshoumaru wasn't in love with some one else.
(A/N) Sorry it wasn't that good… but I did try. Don't worry this is totally Sessh/Rin pairing and they will be together in awhile, but unfortunately this is how my plots go. Also please review and tell me how I did, I hope to get more then five. Once again I won't be able to update for a long time sorry crying face.
Sorry if Sessh was OOC…
