The Other Side
Chapter 3
Connection
The only thing Rin had managed to get her lord to do was get Kagome back to her village but they had to leave moments after they got there. Rin was sad but listened this time, knowing that Kagome was in safe hands. She was still worried about Kagome though. Something was seriously wrong, no matter what Jaken or anyone said. She just didn't know what it was just yet.
She was determined to find out though. It was with this in her mind that she was able to leave Kagome in the village. If Kagome wasn't accepted there, she was going to have her come with them if she saw fit.
Rin felt connected to Kagome in more ways than one. It felt like how she was with Lord Sesshomaru but different. She couldn't describe it if she tried. When Kagome was happy, she was happy. When Kagome was sad, she was too. But it was more than that; it ran on a different level-emotionally, mentally, physically.
Rin trotted after Lord Sesshomaru quietly, her thoughts scattered. What if Kagome wasn't safe in the hands of his brother? What would've happened if Rin had asked Kagome to go with her? Why did she suddenly feel regret towards leaving Kagome behind?
"Lord Sesshomaru, is Kagome going to be okay? She seemed rather... odd when we left her behind," Rin said as Jaken started to scolded her for simply asking a question.
Sesshomaru kept walking; he didn't acknowledge that he had heard her. His brother wench was nothing to him; he didn't understand why Rin kept bringing her up.
The child was sad when he didn't answer. She was itching to go back to Kagome; she felt something amiss. She stopped walking; Jaken passed her without a look in her direction. The dog demon up ahead growled once he noticed that she wasn't following. "Rin, cease this."
"But Lord Sesshomaru, you don't understand!" she returned as Jaken gaped at her. She talked back to him?! What was the world coming to? Oh, he'd show her how to treat their lord but before he could, Rin continued. "Something is wrong."
"What is it?" Sesshomaru resisted the urge to put her in her place. What was the matter with Rin? She has never been like this before. Did it really have to do with that woman?
Rin placed her hand over her heart. "I feel like my heart is bleeding. Something is wrong with Kagome."
Jaken watched as Lord Sesshomaru stood up to his full height; his eyes widening at this. He turned back to the child. She felt connected to the woman? Why? "You dumb girl, worrying over some woman is useless!" Rin slapped Jaken with as much force as her little hand could come up with.
Rin sniffled. "Y-You don't understand!" With that, she whirled around and took off in the other direction.
"Go follow her," he ordered Jaken as he continued on down his path. Jaken wanted to go after Lord Sesshomaru but turned and went after Rin.
