Rins' trek back to the Western Castle was a slow and relaxed one. This time no one watched her, even after she exited the silent and soulless part of the forest.
As she was walking, she was remembering what had happened in the past. When she was with Lord Sesshoumaru and Jaken traveling around everywhere. She also remembered when the battle took place, she was turning eight two nights from that fateful day. After the death of Lord Sesshoumaru, she had to grow up; she couldn't rely on Jaken or anyone else to take care of her anymore.
After the battle had come to an end, and Rin was crying at Lord Sesshoumaru's side, all she could think about was the lost of the person she loved. Rin didn't know what she was doing at the time, but the next thing she knew she has just swung Tensagia, reds, blues, and whites came from the sword. When she looked down she still saw a lifeless Lord Sesshoumaru, what she didn't know was that the affects that she should've seen hadn't taken effect yet.
Jaken had been mean the first few months after Lord Sesshoumaru's death, but soon he realized how close Rin was to Lord Sesshoumaru. Lord Sesshoumaru has loved her like a daughter, loved her like she was his biological child. Jaken didn't know that behind Rin's mask of smiles, she was crying inside.
Then when she was ten, she got a letter, in what appeared to be Lord Sesshoumaru's writing. She didn't know what to think of it. She read the letter carefully many times before setting out to see who this person was.
When she got to the same tree she went to today, she was slightly confused, but did what the letter said to do. To her astonishment the said door in the letter appeared. When she cautiously walked in she was amamzed at the size.
What made her break down in tears, something she hadn't done in since the death of Lord Sesshoumaru, was the pair of golden eyes looking down at her. She met his gaze as much as she could from her short height.
The person with the golden eyes has stepped out of the shadows, and what she saw, made her fall to her knees and cry with renewed vigor. She saw Lord Sesshoumaru.
It has been nearly two years since that day. It still played visibly in her mind, like it was just yesterday. Since then she would visit him constantly, it had been three weeks since she last saw him.
As she entered her home, the Castle, she thought about how Lord Sesshoumaru would react to Kagome's letter. She only gave him the letter; she made sure that the "from Kagome" part wasn't there for him to read. She was sure he would either cry, or would be irked that she has written to Kagome.
Lord Sesshoumaru hadn't wanted to return to the Castle quite yet, she hoped he would soon. She didn't like wander the halls alone, just occasionally bumping into servants and maids. Jaken had died the day before she got Lord Sesshoumaru's letter. So now the Castle seemed eerily silent, there was no yelling from the long deceased Jaken.
Maybe, if Lord Sesshoumaru saw the letter, he would come back here and live. Maybe. She hoped she was right, she hoped that Lord Sesshoumaru would be curious as to who loved him so. So maybe if he was curious, he would come here, here to live once again, here to be her company in this lonely and silent place.
Rin settled down in a chair to read a book that Lord Sesshoumaru has once bought her. She was going to read it when she remember that tomorrow would've been the anniversary of Lord Sesshoumaru's death. She would be fourteen two days after that. Lord Sesshoumaru had complimented on her maturity has such a young age. With that lost thought she drifted off to sleep.
