The night was colder than usual. Although the stars did give a little hope for a good night's rest. Rin and Jaken were fast asleep beside A'un who was generating warmth to share. They had made good progress that day and were pretty satisfied. Everyone was peaceful, expect Sesshomaru.
He sat against a tree, feeling solemn about his newest decision to debate about. Yesterday night, before he had left his chambers, he received news of a marriage request. He was about to discard the letter until he saw her name. Rin.
Rin? How could someone know of his ward? He has kept her name out of mouths and rarely lets her venture far from him. So how did this lord know of her? Sesshomaru gazed upon Rin. She shivered when the wind would blow onto her. Sesshomaru was tempted to grab her in his hold and bundle her up in his monomoko, but he remained still. He brushed the thought away to try and get some rest of his own.
"Jaken." Rin whispered into the night. Jaken's response was a large snore with his hand shooing away and Rin knew he wasn't going to be any help to protect her to release herself. She sighed and stood up. She then knew that she really had to pee! Rin squeezed her legs together as she wobbled away from their camp to a private area. Once she found a bush, she proceeded let it all out.
A large shadow crept over Rin.
Sesshomaru jolted up from the tree once he heard his precious ward's scream. He dashed towards her voice until he found her being tightly held by a bandit. She kicked and squirmed around trying to escape but the bandit's grip was quite strong. He had not notice Sesshomaru stalking him from the trees.
"You are worth seventy thousand gold coins, girl." The bandit snickered. "One hundred thousand if you're still a virgin. Though, I would be fine with seventy thousand if you are." He smiled joyfully and started raising his hands up to her chest but before he could, Sesshomaru whipped his claws on his back. The bandit fell in aching pain while Rin fled over to her lord.
'Who has sent you?" Sesshomaru said his sword was drawn and ready to strike.
"Please, spare me!" The man said pleading for his life. Sesshomaru hid Rin protectively behind him. He only raised his hand once again and struck him on his heart, which killed him instantly. Rin only stared at her attack which laid dead on the grass. Sesshomaru then fled away holding Rin tightly in his arms.
Sesshomaru held Rin safely to him as he sat back against a tree. His eyes never left her while she clutched his chest. Her face was buried away, knowing that she would be scolded.
"Have I not warned you before?" Sesshomaru whispered so to keep Jaken asleep. Rin only dug her head deeper into his warmth. "You are my first priority, Rin."
"Forgive me, my Lord." Rin begged. "Jaken wouldn't wake up and I really had to go." Sesshomaru sighed. Yes, he knew it wasn't her fault, but he wants to make sure that she knows how important she is to him.
"Very well,." Sesshomaru said. He replaced her on his lap to get a better look of her. She looked so stress and exhausted. My sweet Rin. I deeply care about you. Sesshomaru spread his legs for Rin to sleep comfortable. Instead, she began to remove herself from him until she was pulled back down.
"Do you think you are allowed to sleep away from me now?" Sesshomaru implied. Rin only stood there indecisive of her answer.
"Sleep, Rin." Sesshomaru quietly coaxed. His hand smoothed Rin's hair as she sighed with content in his arms.
AUTHORS NOTE:
Hello, I am just saying that these drabbles are not in order and some will be similar topics with different portraying. If you have an idea I might like to, please tell me. I like writing Rin/Sess. Thank you very much.
