Chapter 8: Meeting Rin
(A/N: It's dawn if you people need to know)
'Hmm… I wonder what is taking that wench so long to follow. If she's trying to escape she should know her attempts are futile against I, Sesshoumaru. If I must get her myself…' just as he was about to jump off the branch and head back to the hot spring a familiar scent caught his nose. 'I guess that bitch has more sense than I thought.' Lord Sesshoumaru settled down and made himself comfortable while waiting for the appearance of the demoness.
----Where Kagome's at----
'Why am I walking to my deathbed?' 'Awww… you know you like him.' Kagome's cheeks flared red because of Midoriko's comment. "Mama why are your cheeks red?" came the innocent voice of her kitsune pup. Kagome's check reddened even more out of embarrassment. "It's… it's nothing." 'Thanks a lot Midoriko…' Kagome thought sarcastically. 'No problem.' The voice laced with playfulness and laughter.
Kagome kept walking until her sight met a beautiful field of flowers and an innocent human girl running around in delight while she ran about, every now and then she would bend down and pick a flower and squeal in delight. The little girl having finally noticed Kagome ran up to the strange demon and immediately started to bombard her with questions.
"Hi! Who are you? Rin's name is Rin! Oh! He is so cute! Rin likes his fluffy tail! It's just like Lord Sesshoumaru's! Would you want to play with me?" The kitsune in Kagome's arms looked up at Kagome for permission. Nodding her head, Shippo jumped out of Kagome's arms and ran off with Rin to play a game of tag.
Meanwhile, Kagome searched the tree tops looking for the Western Lord. Finally her eyes rested on a figure dressed in armour with beautiful platinum, silver hair that would make Inuyasha's hair seem dull and white. His hair shone brightly with the newly arisen sun cascading down on him. He sat there perfectly balanced while his silky, long, straight hair blew in the breeze. Her eyes scanned his perfect face and stopped when she met his gaze. For what seemed like hours but in reality were just mere minutes she stared at his emotionless golden eyes that rivalled the ferocity of the sun's rays. At first glance she thought he looked like a deadly angel.
Bringing her out of her dazed state was a slight growl of annoyance. Realizing that she was staring at the youkai lord for quite awhile she quickly snapped her head away and let a slight blush appear on her creamy coloured cheeks. "Sorry…" she barely muttered. It was just loud enough to travel to the sensitive ears of the youkai lord.
Jaken finally woke up, and thankfully for Kagome he broke the tension between Sesshoumaru and her. "Demon bitch what business do you have here before milord?" as Jaken was approaching her he tripped on a rock and fell flat on his face.
Kagome stifled a giggle that was threatening to become a hard laugh. The children had stopped what they were doing to witness the event before them. The children burst out in fits of laughter. Regaining her posture, she stepped up to the taiyoukai in the tree.
"Why have you brought me here? What is it that you intend?" "I do not have to answer questions from a wench like you." Kagome's anger was obviously starting to rise as her hands were balled into fists. "I am not a wench and I will not answer to that name! My name if you can't remember is KAGOME! Ka-go-me!" "Interesting, you have the same name as my brother's weak human wench."
At the thought of Inuyasha, waves of sadness was emitting from her but it slowly turned into anger. 'Could she be the same human wench?' just then Kagome confirmed his suspicions. Her eyes flashed a dangerous red for a brief second but turned back into its normal blue and green shades. "I AM NOT INUYASHA'S WENCH! I BELONG TO NO ONE!" her voice was levelled but her words held power and ferocity.
"Bitch where is that hanyou brother of mine?" "He's probably off screwing that dead incarnation of mine. But if you want to find him, we can just wait here since he would be following me because he probably would want the jewel shards that I possess." "Were you not human the last time we met?" his eyes narrowed dangerously promising her pain if she lied. "I thought I was human also… I recently found out otherwise from my adopted mother. That baka of a hanyou brother of yours still hasn't figured out who I am." Kagome let out a sad chuckle remembering their last encounter.
"What is it that you desire from me?" "I do not have to answer you, lowly demon, but I will on my own accord. I want you to teach Rin my human ward and protect her." "And what if I don't?" annoyance was clear in her voice. 'God… he makes it seem like I have nothing better to do! Can't he at least say please?'
"If you don't I'll simply dispose of you." Growling, she sighed in defeat. "Fine, but this is only for Rin's sake." She slumped down on the tree trunk and watched the children run around in pure delight. The taiyoukai saw the demoness doze into a dreamless sleep while he watched the children. 'She looks so peaceful and beautiful…'
