Hello Everyone,
First I wanted to thank my new beta InumeT_FlyGirl for helping me edit this chapter.
I hope you like it, and please dont forget to review (it makes me happy :-)).
I don't own Inuyasha or any of its character, all right go to its respective writer.
Chapter 2
It had been a week since I started following the demon lord and his group. During that time, I was been able to observe the dynamic of the group, which mainly consisted of them traveling around the land and once in a while being left behind by Sesshomaru only to have him return later. Rin seemed to pass the day off either taking care of her necessities or playing around with a two headed dragon named AhUh that had appeared shortly after we started traveling, while the little green toad Jaken ran after her yelling to not do this and not do that.
Currently we were once again waiting around for the demon lord to return, while I lay down against a tree with Rin in between my legs leaning against my chest without a care in the world. Just in a week the little girl had been able to dig her way into my heart, but really, who could resist her beautiful smile?
Now would be a great time for a bath, I thought as I focused my ears searching for the sound of running water. My attention was brought to the little girl in my arms after I heard a small chuckle coming from her.
"Kagome's ears are twitching, haha" she mumbled out through her laughter.
"Yeah, Yeah come on Rin lets go take a bath I hear a hot spring nearby" I answered back with a smile trying to match hers, I would like to meet the person that could do that.
"Jaken, Rin and I are going to bathe wait here for us" I said as I pulled Rin by her tiny hands in the direction that I had heard the water running. Just as we were almost out of hearing range, I heard a Jaken yell "How dare you half-breed order the great Lord Sesshomaru's vassal around like your servant?"
Hum, I am going to have to find a way to teach Jaken a lesson. Well I suppose that makes two in this group that need a serious personality check.
When we reached the hot spring, after removing our clothes, I entered first so that I could help Rin in. We stayed there for a while, just relaxing into the water and washing off, when I noticed that Rin was struggling to wash off her hair. "Come here Rin, let me help you with that" I said gently moving behind her, straightening her hair out by running my claws carefully through her brown curls.
"Rin I have been meaning to ask, why are you traveling with demons? Where are your human parents?" I regretted saying those words as soon as I noticed the saddened expression that came to her little face.
"Rin's parents were killed by bandits, so Rin was alone for a while and then she ran into Lord Sesshomaru when he was injured. Rin tried to help him but Lord Sesshomaru just ignored Rin's help, and one day Rin was attacked by wolves and died" she looked sadder but in a second her face began to brighten again as she said the following words "But Lord Sesshomaru found Rin in the forest and brought her back to life with his sword, since then Rin has been with Lord Sesshomaru" She finished almost running out of breath.
"Rin also has Kagome now" she added as she turned around to and hug my waist.
"Oh Rin, of course you have me but you must understand that if I regain my memories I might have to leave" It broke my heart to have to tell her but I didn't want to raise her hopes too much. I still don't know who I am nor who I was.
"Does Kagome's old memories matter? Can't she just make new ones with us?" she said looking hopefully at me.
"We will see what happens Rin" and we stayed hugging for a while and then returned to cleaning ourselves.
When I finally thought that she was clean enough I said to her "Rin why don't you go and put your clothes while I finish washing my hair."
I was answered with a smile as she got out the water and went behind a rock to dry herself off.
I lost track of everything that was going on around me as I enjoyed the warmth that the hot spring was providing to me.
"Wench tell me who gave you permission to take my ward without proper protection?" A husky voice snapped me out of the trance I was in causing me to turn around quickly to face none other than the stuck up Sesshomaru.
"I don't need your permission to go take a shower and for your information I can protect Rin myself thank you very much." I said as I crossed my arms pushing my bare breast together.
Wait WHAT? Bare breast.
And then I noticed where the demon lord's eyes were focusing, which brought me to the realization that my upper naked half was completely exposed to the demon lord. "AHHHH you perverted demon where do you think you're looking?!" I screamed out as I plunged into the water to cover my naked body.
"Please half-breed don't flatter yourself, your body does not leave much to be desired" he said with an indifferent attitude which only helped to fuel the anger that was building up inside me.
Before I could say anything a sweet high pitch voice not far away said "Lord Sesshomaru there's something in your pants! Are you okay?"
My immediate reaction was to look and smirk at the obvious bulge that appeared in Sesshomaru's pants. Unfortunately, before I could make a smart ass comment about it my attention went to the owner of the sweet voice and my face burned bright red with embarrassment.
OMG! OMG! How could I forget Rin was changing behind the rock?
My eye focused more on the young girls and you could just smell the confusion and worry coming off her.
When my eyes return to the spot where the demon lord once was, I noticed he disappeared. I did a 360, still no sign of the creature that was once there.
XXxxXX
RRRrrr why are you running away from mate.
This Sesshomaru runs away from no one.
Stop acting like a pup, and accept we want mate.
This Sesshomaru does not and I repeat want that wench.
Have you tried telling that to little Sesshomaru. RRrrr (laughing roar)
Ahhh you insufferable beast. She is a weakness, she made me lose so much focus to the point I didn't even notice Rin was there.
So you admit that we are affected by her.
It was a momentary lapse of judgment and nothing more.
"My Lord you have return, but where is Rin and the half-breed…" came Jaken running toward me waving the staff around but before he could reach me I stepped on his green little head.
Hum better.
XXxxXX
"But why won't Kagome answer Rin? Is there something wrong with my Lord?" Rin asked for like the hundredth time as we walked into the clearing where the rest of the group was.
Hump. An idea started to form in my head as a smirk appeared on my face.
"You know what Rin, why don't you ask 'Lord Sesshomaru' what's wrong with him since I don't know?" I said looking straight into his golden glaring eyes not even trying to hide the smirk that was on my face.
"Yes My Lord, won't you tell Rin what wrong with you?" She said standing on her tippy toes with a worried expression.
"Rin you will drop this topic immediately" his stern voice came over the field as he turned his face away to stare into the distance.
"Okay!"
Huhhh, okay, that's it? She asked me that 100 times and one no from him and she stops?! AUHHHHH lucky bastard.
I glared at his back hoping to burn a hole right through it. Ahh I need some fresh air.
"Rin stay here I'm going to get you some food." I told Rin, who was now playing with AhUh, and she nodded in response.
I left the clearing in the woods, but not before stopping at the edge of the clearing and saying "Lord Sesshomaru, I'm so relieved that you were able to fix your little problem"
….
I walked through the forest, taking deep breaths of the clean fresh air as it rushed against my skin whilst I moved along the land.
'BAMPP!' and suddenly I found myself on the floor with a heavy weight on me. When my eyes open to survey the situation, they found an Inu-Youkai female gasping for air on top of me but my attention averted to the drops of blood that were running from her head to her nose and dropping onto my face.
"Help! He's after me!"
Remember to Review.
