Ok the Disclaimer: I do not own Sesshomaru ((although Id like to))
Inuyasha, Rin, Jaken ((I know...I spelled it wrong in the last one,
but my stupid reject of a computer said it was right so...yeah)), or any of the other characters of such as may appear. So don't sue.
you won't get much.
I do however own the plot, this story, and I do own Michicko and any of the other characters that I either havent named or havent created yet.
So, once again, please review and here is the second chapter.
Oh, and to make this one distinction this "/" means the beginnings of a thought ((what they're thinking))or their dreams. And this "/" alsomeans the end of the thought and/or dream. nods You all got that? Good.
Child of Memories
"I brought more firewood Master Jaken"
Rin said, stumbling under the large pile of firewood she was carrying.
"Very good Rin, now just sit it near the fire. That should be enough to last us the night. Don't you think"
"Yes, as long as it dosn't snow..."Rin put in hopefully, letting out a puff of air, seeing the faintest hint of her breath in the darkening night.
"You stupid girl! Its too early in the year for snow"
/Although I wouldnt exactly be surprised/
Jaken sat near the small fire. It was getting darker. The moon would be up soon.
"Lord Sesshomaru"
Rin, seeing him emerge from the woods, raced over to him, smiling sunnily.
"Welcome back My Lord"
Jaken hurriedly scrambled up to bow as his master walked past him silently without any sign of recognition.
/Well its good to see you to.../
"Lord Sesshomaru! Look at how many fish Master Jaken and I caught while you were gone"
she pointed to a place near the fire where the fish were sitting, waiting to be cooked.
Sesshomaru looked just to humor her, but was surprised by how many fish there were. There were at least twenty there.
"We made a net Lord Sesshomaru"
"yes, this river was nearly over flowing with fish"
Jaken put in unnecessarily.
Sesshomaru shrugged it off. Let them grow fat by attempting to eat it all. He certainly wasnt going to touch them.
He walked over to a near by tree and sat at the base.
He could feel the trees power flowing through the bark. It must have been at least four hundred years old.
He looked up to the sky, the light of the fire dancing across his face.
Even with his view slightly blocked by the large branches, he could still distinctly make out the silvery cresent shape of the moon, mimicking perfectly, the emblem on his brow.
He listened to Jaken and Rin preparing their meal and gazed into the softly glowing fire.
That was how it had all ended...in fire.
"Lord Sesshomaru"
Once again he was ripped away from his ever elusive memories.
He looked up at the girl, she was holding a fish out to him. It was still smoking.
"No thanks"
Sesshomaru told her, looking into her slightly put down face.
"But why not? You must be hungry Lord Sesshomaru. With all of the fighing going on and all of the battles you've been involved in lately,
it must be very exhausting for you"
"Not especially," he said indifferently, not really listening at all,
"you know i don't eat human food"
Rin sighed and walked back to the fire, taking a small bite out of the fish intended for Sesshomaru.
Yes, he was certain of it now. The reason why he seemed to care so much for this one child when most other things he dissreguarded as insignificant or pathetic. She even walked like Her!
He looked into the fire tiredly. No matter what he said, he was tired.
All of the fighting, especially his last with Inuyasha, had really been taking their toll on him. Especially without the use of his right arm ((though hed never admit it)). He gazed into the fire doggedly.
He could feel himself slipping quietly into an unrestful sleep, the sound of Rin and Jaken's voices talking animatedly in the background.
/He was standing in fire... Everything around him was buring. An entire village was laid to waste.
Bodies littered the ground, the pungent smell of their blood nearly over whelming his senses.
He looked at his own hands, his claws drenched with blood.
He knew not where he was, he just knew that he had to find someone.
but who? "Sesshomaru!" a woman's cry pierced the air.
He ran towards the voice, panick flooding his body, he ran at full tilt towards the sound.
He stopped suddenly. The voice had faded away, his senses marred by the fire and smoke. He began walking again, towards the supposed direction of the the call.
Then, suddenly, he saw a body in the distance, fire raging behind the slight body of a young woman.
"Michicko"
he yelled, every fiber of his being screaming in protest. No, it couldn.t be her!
He rans towards the body, falling to his knees beside her.
Blood stained the whole of her kimono, her sword lying broken by her side.
"Sesshomaru"
She said, her beautiful face, marred by the pain that was wracking her body, "So...you did come after all"
She reached a bloodied hand towards his face and caressed his cheek,
leaving a small trail of blood to drip off of his chin before her hand fell through the air to land at her side, her eyes glazing over, the fire raging on.../
He awoke with a shout, leaping up in his haste and pain.
looking around confused when he felt a cold breeze ruffle his sweat soaked hair and face instead of the rushing heat of the inferno he was reliving for the second time.
His shout had awakened Jaken and Rin.
"Lord Ssshomaru"
She rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"What is wrong my lord"
Jaken cried, running to his masters side, closely follwed by Rin.
At the sight of Rin, Sesshomaru, backed away, seeing a ghost, a spirit comming toward him. Seeing the dead girl Runnning to be at his side.
"NO! Get away from me!" he shouted, stopping Rin in her tracks.
"Lord Sesshomaru..." she took another, faltering step towards him.
"I said to stay away"
He pressed the palm of his hand to his eyes, willing for the image, so vividly imprinted in his mind, to go away.
"Lord Sesshomaru...your scaring me"
Rin spoke, her voice shaking. She had never seen him this way. He looked so primal, so...evil.
"Get Back"
Sesshomaru shouted,
"Don't come any closer"
He swiftly turned on his heels and disappeared into the forest,
running for all of his worth.
He finally stopped in a quiet, moon lighted glade, panting, barely able to breathe.
He sat down on the grass, nearly passing out.
It had all come back to him in a rush, a sudden burst of his memeory, which he thought was long forgotten.
He passed out onto the cool grass, with the wind blowing softly through the trees. His mind restless, but his body at ease.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O.K. One person said to make it longer, so I tried my damndest.
What was it that caused so much fear?
What was it about the sight of Rin that frightened him so much?
What was it that he remembered?
I guess you'll find out in the next chapter.
Oh, a heads up, the next chapter/chapters is all a memory, basically a dream that hes having.
Hes still in the meadow...or rather his body is, but the next chapter will be all a memory, so dont get confused.
Confzzling enough yet?
lol.
I thought so.
XD
So, please review. You know i love them.
Sincerely,
redrum and wine
Shes like a fine wine, only better."
