Chapter 9
I do not own Inu-Yasha, or my wonderful, carefree, Armani cologne scented, Sesshomaru. Hi Nevaeh Azalea!
Morning poured through the small crack in the curtains. Sesshomaru gradually opened his eyes. He turned to look at Rin, who had generously given up her bed to lie on the tatami-matted floor, with nothing, but a pillow and a blanket.
Rin awoke and stared into his wonderful, shimmering, gold eyes that could go on like a depth. "Did you like my bed?", Rin asked politely. "It was okay for a human bed, but it was covered in your scent", Sesshomaru said in a cold tone. "Thanks to you, the bathroom smells like you!", Inu-Yasha's muffled voice came from the next wall. Kagome's room was next to Rin's.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as he turned his head away in embarrassment for looking at a human, though, he thought she was not that terrible to look at. What was he saying! She was under his level, lower than dirt! However, she brought back the memory of one time when Jaken brought another batch of women for him to pick from.
All were from different noble families. All seemed to be the same, except one. She was about fourteen, old enough to marry. She had a look to her that seemed so different. She seemed, unhappy. She was the youngest, but the prettiest.
The only problem was when Sesshomaru walked down the line inspecting the women. When he reached her, She was very frightened that he would do what he did to all his mates that did not suite him; slaughter her.
Her face was to the floor. He wanted to see her, so he put his index finger under her chin and tried to lift her face. He looked into her sea blue eyes of crystal and saw her crying, trying to hold back her tears.
That was when Sesshomaru realized his hate for a woman's tears. He became angry and slapped her across the face. "What is the matter with you?", The angered taiyokai said bitterly, "Don't you know who you are pointlessly sobbing in front of!"
"I'm v-v-very s-sorry Lord Sesshomaru", the girl said on her knees bowing nervously. Without a second thought, the lord picked her up by her hand and burned her wrist with his poison claws. She screamed and being even angrier, he drove two claws into her neck. The screaming was now silenced, and a pool of blood swept across the marble floors.
He had no regret, or even sorrow. She deserved every thing that was coming to her for crying like that; at least he thought so.
But still, her face was so angelic and she had looked like the demon twin of Rin. "Would you like breakfast?", Rin asked. A sudden "sit" was heard, and shortly, there was a case of "You butt-head!" "No thank you", Sesshomaru answered, "If it means eating with the "butt head"." Rin laughed. "Besides", Sesshomaru said, "I prefer not to dine with a hanyou." Rin felt a spark of anger. "What's wrong with being half?", Rin asked heating up. Sesshomaru looked at Rin as if it were impossible for her to be so ignorrant.
"My little brother is part human. I despise all humans", Sesshomaru spat bitterly. Rin got really angry now. "Why don't you like humans!"
