Crimson Butterfly and Frozen beast
Chapter: 5
The ghost had disappeared and there was an herbal medicine on the ground. Sesshomaru had picked it up and handed it to Rin.
"You will need this," Sesshomaru said.
Rin examined the herbal medicine and then placed it in her pocket.
"You will find more of these. As soon as you find enough, I will not be around to help you. Understood?" Sesshomaru said.
Rin just huffed and a smirk appeared on her face…..Like I will need his help anyway. He is an arrogant bastard.
Rin then turned around and nodded roughly at Sesshomaru. She understood what she needed to do. Rin had heard about the crimson ritual from her parents when she was 11. They told her how it held the gates of hell together and how twins were involved. One of the younger twins in a ritual would become a crimson butterfly in order to hold the gate of hell back. The only thing that Rin's parents didn't tell her is how the younger twin became the crimson butterfly. Did the kusabi turn the younger twin into a crimson butterfly?
I want to find out…
"Are you done pondering?" Sesshomaru said.
Rin nodded and they both headed farther into the temple.
As they walked further Rin had questions forming in her mind about this ritual and how Sesshomaru was involved in it.
"Sesshomaru…" Rin said softly.
Sesshomaru turned his head and looked at Rin. Her head was down and she seemed very fragile… "What is it you want from this Sesshomaru?"
"Please tell me. I have so many questions. I read part of the book and…..I have heard of the crimson ritual before but, I never knew exactly what happened," Rin pleaded
"If you want to know exactly what happened then you wouldn't mind snooping around on your own would you?" Sesshomaru responded.
Rin opened a door to the next room and looked around and then answered Sesshomaru, "Fine, I'll snoop around on my own. Would you leave me alone to do so?"
"Gladly," Sesshomaru said.
In a flash Sesshomaru disappeared and Rin was left alone in what looked like to be a kimono room. She closed the door behind and wandered around the room.
Rin found a book shelf and began searching through the book. Some of the books were so torn that you could barely call them books anymore.
Rin found a book that seemed it was in tact. She looked at the front cover. The title read, "Butterfly Diary".
Rin opened the book and there were only two pages that had been written on it and the pages after it had been ripped out. The pages read…
Sae Pg (1/2)
Yae, I promise you, we can get Itsuki out of here. He doesn't deserve this. I don't understand this ritual. When we get him out of here, please promise that we will always be together Sae, Together forever.
Yae Pg (2/2)
Sae I promise you that we will get Itsuki out of here and I promise that I will always be with you. We will always be together.
Rin closed the book and put it in the back that Sesshomaru gave her…..Sesshomaru, I guess you are really a help.
When Rin put the book in he bag she looked around the room a little more and found nothing of interest.
Rin moved to the room next to it. When she walked forward she felt her heart pulse hard so Rin held the camera up to view the ghost. The ghost was blue and did not seem like it would hurt her. It was a little girl with doggie ears. She ran around playing with a ball. Still, Rin took a picture of the child for a keepsake…..she looks so cute.
---------------------
Sesshomaru was watching Rin even though she didn't know it. How could he leave this human around the house with only the camera obscura and one herbal medicine? He said that he wouldn't care what happened to her, but he could feel that he was getting closer to this human. She had strong psycho powers for not being a miko, and she was pretty haughty when she was around a youkai. Sesshomaru chuckled when he remembered that smirk she threw at him.
This is something worth being around…this woman seems like she has more of a heart than the human soldiers on a battlefield. It truly is wonderful to see.
Sesshomaru continued his watch with a smile, but his smile was quickly faded when he saw an unkind ghost heading towards Rin.
He saw Rin trying to fend the ghost back with her camera. She did a good job in the beginning but the ghost was starting to get close and was about to choke her. He was about to go rescue her but she took a snapshot of the ghost before it could get any closer.
This hurt the ghost a lot more than usual. After a couple more shots, Rin defeated the ghost.
At that moment Sesshomaru felt warmth spreading through his body. Did this woman arouse by her simple act of courage. He shook it off as nothing but goose bumps…..This Sesshomaru get goose bumps? Hmph.
Sesshomaru followed the woman and argues with himself.
There is a lot more to this woman than what is visibly seen…
