Chapter 7
I don't own Inu-Yasha or my sexy, sweet, kawaii, Sesshomaru.
Hi nevaeh azalea!
Rin looked up at Sesshomaru with teary, brown, pools for eyes. Sesshomaru became impatient. "I said: what's wrong? Answer me!" Rin only cried harder. Sesshomaru sighed under his breath.
"Sorry. It's just, my only friend, Kohaku, told me that he didn't like me anymore. He said I was too weird", Rin said in a shaky voice. "Is that all?", the lord asked annoyed, "You cry over that?"
Sesshomaru was about to get up and leave, but then he felt a tug on his sleeve. He turned. "Please", Rin said grasping his sleeve, "I know you don't like me, but please stay." Sesshomaru suddenly felt a stab of something he never experienced.
What is this feeling? 'What is this? Ah, yes. You're feeling guilty about what you said!' No. I never said that. 'But you must admit that you are!' No! It's, um, well,…..
Sesshomaru did not understand why, but something deep within, 'like me!' Shaddup! , was telling Sesshomaru that he should stay. He sat back down on the bed with Rin. Feeling clueless the lord asked, "What should I do?"
Rin looked up at Sesshomaru. She was kind of shocked. After all he said, he was staying with her! Rin reached out to grab his left arm, when she was taken aback at its absence. She sat agape as she held the empty sleeve.
"What did you do? Is your arm tucked in your armor?", the puzzled girl asked. "I was hoping you wouldn't ask that", Sesshomaru said in a low voice. "Why?", Rin asked. Oh, god. She's asking about that. Sesshomaru felt very self conscious about his arm. The fact that his younger brother, a half breed no less, cut him down made him insecure.
"I don't really like to talk about it", Sesshomaru said solemnly, "but, I guess it would be alright for me to show you." He felt uneasy, but it would be the right thing. She would find out sooner or later.
He lifted the sleeve slowly; every moment making him sick to think about. Finally, it was revealed. The remains of what used to be a once muscular, healthy, full length, arm, were now reduced to half of an upper arm; looking very pitiful and barren.
Rin began to feel sad again, but for Sesshomaru.
