Chapter 13: Something New

"She doesn't hate him." Rin said as Kagome stomped past her.

"What?" Kagome asked spinning around to face Rin.

"Rin, she doesn't hate Sesshoumaru."

"How would you know?"

"I just do."

"From what you and the villagers have said it sounds as if she hates him quite a bit."

"She hates that he left her in the village, not him."

"She's a lot more forgiving then I would be," Kagome mumbled under her breath.

"No she's not. I didn't say she forgave him. I said she doesn't hate him, but she will never forgive him."

"I kind of always felt a little sorry for her. I mean wouldn't you feel sorry for someone who had to live with Sesshoumaru?"

"No. She didn't see it that way at all. Sesshoumaru was her protector; he saved her life after only meeting her twice, when he left her she felt like she had lost the only family she really knew."

"Oh. How did Sesshoumaru save her life?"

"I think you should ask him that yourself," Rin said as she walked away. Kagome stared after Rin as she walked away.
