Hey guys, I'm sorry my last chapter wasn't 100%, I want to delve deeper into Sesshomaru and Rin(ako)'s interactions but it's going to take time to build because he is very aloof, and she's far too kind and excitable. So, initially it's going to be AWKWARD. Plus my characterization is PISS POOR.
*Note before reading: Rin has only had 1 incarnation, the reference to her chances is the time she was killed by wolves, the time she died while Sesshomaru went to strengthen Tenseiga, and lastly her reincarnation.
rans0medheart Thank you so much sweetheart your review made me smile! He was very lonely, and I hope to delve into that, as well as him discovering what makes him happy! Thank you for also recognizing the whole yin-yang contrast I'm trying to pull, and that they need to balance each other! One is so dry that he's forced to attending human-integration classes, and the other has a heart so large she'd put herself on the line for anyone (or anything!). I also read your bio, and please don't be afraid to post your fics! I look forward to reading them!
y-icey I know, i'm sorry! Rin has such a big heart that she allows herself to be taken advantage of, and Sesshomaru will be teaching her to stand up for herself!
Sesshomaru landed on a school rooftop before surveying the area. If his memory served him right, this was now going to be Rin's old neighborhood.
He gracefully jumped from the building onto the ground, before glancing at the many strung out druggies, trash, and prostitutes that lined the area. It smelled terribly of urine and other repulsive byproducts, but he merely wrinkled his nose and pushed on.
He passed the old building to see that the entirety of it was burned down to the ground. Nothing could have been salvaged from the rubble, and it seemed as though it left many homeless, as some sober people; including children lined the streets.
Whatever it is, this must be the work of Mei's...lover. Probably to hide evidence and fabricate some farce of a tale.
He noted the shrapnel from the vehicle that lined the curb, and the dented fire hydrant that lined it as well. He held out this phone and looked up nearby hospitals, and the closest seemed to be Sumitomo Hospital.
With that, he simply teleported there.
Sesshomaru entered the third floor, and weaved through the bustling doctors. Thankfully, someone went into cardiac arrest in a room, causing doctors to panic and mob their way into the unit.
He caught a familiar scent, and followed the trail until he stopped outside a closed unit. Playing it off, he sat in the waiting chairs that lined the unit's wall that was provided. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes feigning exhaustion, and carefully listened in on the ensuing argument.
"Sir, I apologize, but your daughter is braindead. She suffered far too many injuries, and we believe that she may have been drugged during the accident. Investigators will be speaking with you soon, but it seems as though foul play was involved. She lost half of her brain in the incident, and chances of revival are very slim. Furthermore, if she does, she may remain in a vegetative state."
"Then pull the plug." The man said gruffly.
His wife screamed, "No! No! Not my baby, not my daughter! Please, she couldn't have gone like this! I haven't seen her in nearly six years, please! Please! Let me sit with my baby!"
The doctor coughed, "I am very sorry, I will give you time to think this over."
The door opened, and the doctor slipped out of the door before wiping a tear, "Mei-chan, I am sorry. You were such a sweet girl, then all of a sudden I don't see you in class anymore. Then this is how we reunite, how the fates are so cruel."
He passed Sesshomaru, too distraught to even acknowledge his existence.
In the unit though, chaos ensued. "Fuck you! Fuck you, you bastard! I gave you 28 years of my wretched life, I abided by your wishes, and you kick my only child out of my home, out of my bosom! This was your fault!"
From what Sesshomaru could hear, she lunged at him, and the resounding slap that followed afterwards made him flinch.
"I am your husband, whether you like it or not, you follow me! She brought this upon herself! If she had've taken school harder, and studied harder she'd be in my good graces."
"No you bastard, she studied so hard! She tried her best, and all you did was break her! Just like you did me! Even if I wanted to, I'd never give you another child. Considering how piss poor of a father you were! I'm getting a divorce. I want my divorce!"
"Get your divorce, you'll be a scorned woman for the rest of your life. Never able to support yourself, because you'll never get a cent from me."
"Fine, go have an affair with your whore of a mistress! Seems the only child you want in your life was her anyways."
The man yelled, and the woman came barreling out of the room. From the looks of her, she seemed very wealthy, with a short pixie cut, a knitted turtleneck pink sweater, a large diamond brooch on her left breast, and a gray pencil skirt with opaque black tights.
Their eyes met momentarily, before she ran down the hall. The bald man, Mei's father, came out and met eyes with Sesshomaru, nastily asking, "What the hell are you looking at?" before stalking off.
Sesshomaru pretended to not hear the man, and readjusted Tenseiga that was wrapped in a leather jacket.
He looked around, and when the camera shifted to the end of the hall, he slipped in unnoticed.
Sesshomaru locked the door behind himself, and lifted Tenseiga over Mei's half lidded unfocused eyes. He smelled the antiseptic, dried blood, and other human...unpleasantries and focused his eyes forward. He closed them, and tried his best to muster some compassion and sorrow. But, the sword did not call to him.
After remembering Rin's tear stained face, he tried again, and the sword pulsed to life in his hands.
He saw the gremlins of the afterlife eating away at her soul, and slashed them away.
Instantly, the dent where head was, filled in, and the gashes, bruises, and broken arm and leg healed up and filled out. The drugs that ran in her system were suddenly purified, and the scent of them no longer remained.
Mei coughed, and opened her eyes. She stared forward and whispered hoarsely, "Who are you?"
Sesshomaru inched closer, and allowed swirls of youki to reveal his humanoid form. Mei shot up and leaned against the back of the hospital bed, resisting the urge to scream. He leaned at his waist, allowing a predatory gaze to take over him before his eyes flashed red. He grabbed her neck and added just enough pressure to make her scared.
"You have been a new lease on life," Sesshomaru sneered, remembering Rin's words, "You should be grateful; as it was at Rin's pleadings and insistence."
Mei gasped, "W-what? Just who are you?"
He leaned closer to frighten her more, "She invoked a spirit, transcendent of time, and far from benevolent, to revive your pathetic existence. This opportunity should not be taken lightly. Enjoy your new life," He sneered, "and use it wisely."
Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder, and gripped Tenseiga harder before leaving in a ball of light.
Just then, doctors came rushing in at the beeping of Mei's vitals.
The doctors watched in awe as Mei was sitting up, healthy as can be.
The young doctor barreled into the room and gave Mei a hug, before calling out for the senior doctor. Mei hyperventilated throughout the chaos, shocked to find herself alive, shocked to find herself facing an entity, and even more, What exactly did Rinako do to summon an ENTITY?
Mei's head spun at the bustle of doctors, others patients, machinery, and bickering going on around her. One doctor tried speaking to her, before she grunted out acknowledgement, while another flashed a light to check her retinas. Someone in the back yelled out for a CAT-scan, and another nurse suggested blood work.
Takashi slipped in, unnoticed, and smiled.
Rin awoke early that morning, and wandered the house-no mansion, of Shigeto-san.
She opened his bedroom doors, shocked to see that they were pseudo-shoji doors that instead of sliding, opened into two doors and were intricately patterned with good luck seals and two gold dog crests on them. Leaving the doors opened, she walked down three steps to see that she was in the living room. She looked back up, to see that on the elevated platform stayed four other bedrooms, as well as his office. Six bedrooms total! Oh lord!
She gasped and drunk the lavishness of the said room, admiring the italian living room set, that instead of gold and ivory paisley print, contained gold and ivory hexagonal print with flowers in the middle. Surely, these were custom made!
Large windows lined the room, giving it an airy feel, with beautiful cascading black, grey, and beige curtains. Rin walked around the livingroom set, and looked at the long mirror cabinet, as she could only describe it, with gold finishings. She walked over to it and admired the trio of beautiful paintings in pewter and gold that lined the wall . She leaned onto the cabinet, and jumped when electrical whirring began. A television and entire sleek entertainment system rose up on a lift.
"I didn't even know these things existed!" She gasped.
She continued and faced the back wall, which had a beautiful fireplace and bronze antique cleaning set anchored to the wall. A gold and beige tapestry ran down the middle of the wall and two black and gold chinese lacquered sconces, as large as her, were mounted on the wall with large ivory candles. Rin gaped in awe, and walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen almost made her faint! An island that doubled as a kitchen table sat in the middle with copper pots and pans suspended from the ceiling. The entire kitchen was done in beige marble and mahogany lacquer, and the fridge, stove, toaster oven, and all appliances for the most part were done in an off-copper tone.
The high bar-stool chairs were beige leather and mahogany lacquer. She turned on the lights, and squealed at the gold and glass chandelier orbs suspended from the ceiling. She basked in the warm light and twirled before pushing open the large mahogany and black double doors to the actual dining room. The dining room followed the scheme of the living room, done in black, gold, pewter, and navy. She twirled around before carefully inspecting the gold utensils and black and gold china set that sat in the glass buffet and upright dish cabinet. Two elegant black lazy susans lined the long rectangle table, and gold and pewter vases lined the middle of the table.
Rin admired the heavy navy and pewter curtains that lined the two floor to ceiling length windows and twirled as she slid between the window's curtains, and back around the room.
Then, she stopped, and looked down at her clothes before the previous day's traumas all hit her at once.
She fell onto the floor in a dejected heap, and her heart ached.
"What happened? Weren't you just enjoying yourself?"
Rin looked up and scrambled backwards.
"Good lord! You're like a ghost Shigeto-san! Don't scare me like that!"
He looked around the room before sitting cross legged on the gray carpet under the table.
Trying to keep her hopes up, she started, "You have such a beautiful place, Shigeto-san, did you commission all of this yourself?"
"I did, besides the entertainment room I see you've acquainted yourself with."
Rin blushed hotly, "Sorry! I had woken up looking for you and got distracted."
"Hn"
"But..Um...I do have several questions for you...heh?" She finished her statement with a nervous laugh; and Sesshomaru dreaded it.
"Um, I'll ask the first one. How-how did I get in these clothes? Did um, Aka...tend to me?" Rin skirted around the whole issue of bathing, and even avoided the word like the plague.
Sesshomaru's eyes danced with light mirth at the girl's embarrassment which pinkened her face. "No."
"No-NO!? What do you mea-HOW MUCH DID YOU SEE?" She turned as red as her tanned skin would allow.
"Seeing and looking are two different things, Rin. Just because I saw something attractive, didn't mean I looked."
She turned red and started sputtering and gasping. Mildly concerned, he tried to remember the name of a human condition he'd encountered with one of his employees.
"Asthma?"
"N-no," She coughed again, "I can't believe you said that! Oh my god, I wanna unhear that! I wish I never asked! Ignorance is bliss!" She face planted onto the ground.
She shot back up, "Speaking of which, HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU GET TO JAPAN SO FAST?"
The question he'd truly been dreading haunted him.
He resorted to something he'd seen the houshi do before, "Let's just say, I have my ways."
She squinted then, and huffed, "I'll let it go for now, but don't think you're off the hook!"
She then shifted her weight onto one arm before making a cup form with her hand and pretending it were binoculars, "Eu estou de olho em você, Casanova!"
She laughed then, and he felt much lighter at seeing her light up. She even seemed healthier when she smiled. But, she still needed to put on some weight.
"Tomorrow we will go out and buy you some clothes." Sesshomaru noted blandly.
Rin blushed again before laughing, "Yeah, cause I've gotta cover myself from your prying eyes mister!"
He didn't seem to take the joke in kind.
"Please don't take that seriously, I was actually joking!"
With a sigh he finished, "I know you were." Though it is tempting to recount the elaborate bathing ritual I was forced to subject myself to. "Are you hungry?"
"Not really."
"Hn, too bad. You should eat anyways."
"Well, maybe I should bathe first?"
He nodded, and she stood up with a grunt before finding the master bathroom.
Rin returned to the kitchen and sat by the kitchen Island. Nervously, she rubbed her hands onto her thighs covered by another one of Shigeto's nemakis.
Isn't this supposed to be romantic? This is so weird...Oh God, what if he has a girlfriend? A lover? IF THEY WALKED IN AND SAW ME DRESSED LIKE THIS THEY'D THINK THE WORST!
She blanched before grimacing, and Sesshomaru caught her increased anxiety.
He walked over to the kitchen Island and watched her as she became lost in thought, and began grimacing.
He leaned onto the table and cradled the side of his jaw into his hands.
Rin caught the movement, stuttered "uh" before snapping back into reality.
"-DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?" she squeaked out too shrilly even for her own hearing. She flinched at the volume of her tone and covered her ears.
Sesshomaru simply continued watching her, before shaking his head.
"Oh..sorry, I just didn't want to-"
The door was knocked as Rin stuttered out her last thought, she stood to go open the door before his eyes met hers and he stretched across the table.
"Rin, I'll get the door. You grab yourself a meal."
She nodded somewhat dumbly but remained fixated to her seat, Sesshomaru sighed and opened the front door before allowing Aka to slide in.
"Shigeto, thank you once again! I just stopped by to drop off some clothes my nieces can't fit into anymore. I told them about the young missus' plight, and they were more than happy to oblige. Do you mind my asking, where she is?"
He elegantly tilted his chin towards the way of the kitchen wordlessly, and Aka bowed before slipping off her boots and trailing to the kitchen.
Aka smiled upon seeing the girl scour the fridge while pulling out some vegetables, and mumbling to herself about what to cook. As well a muffled squeal about using real copper pots and not poor teflon coated thin pans
"Rin-chan! Hello! I just stopped by quickly to drop off some necessities!"
Rin jumped and twirled from between the fridge's doors.
Aka laughed, "Do you cook young lady?"
"Oh! Yes, I do! I love it very much. Thank you so much for the stuff you didn't have to."
"Judging by the way that male nemaki is hanging off your shoulders, I'd say otherwise."
Her eyes danced with mirth as Rin panicked and went to futilely shrugging the material back onto her slender shoulders.
Rin bowed to Aka and the woman smiled before waving her off, "Come! Look at these clothes really quickly!"
Rin obediently shuffled towards the island, and Aka pulled out another Target bag from the large plastic HomeGoods tote.
"I also brought you some feminine hygiene articles and delicates just in case you need."
Rin blushed hotly and willed the earth to open under her.
Aka opened the bag and showed her some jeans, corduroy, and spandex pants, tights, sweaters, worn sneakers, and a puffy gap coat
"One of my nieces has a little one on the way, so she's had this bag packed and ready to go for a while now."
"Please tell her I said thank you, and I promise I will look out for her in the future!"
"Oh no dear, she would never. You're much too kind just as she. She wouldn't take it."
"I'm still gonna do it anyways!" Rin huffed.
Aka chuckled before nodding her head. "It's going to become a niceness fight if you do. But nevertheless, my youngest son is waiting in the car. I've gotta go."
"Bye Aka-san, and thank you once again!"
Aka jogged out to the doorway where Sesshomaru still lingered, "You better treat her nice, or God help me I'll steal her for my no-good youngest!'"
Not realizing that Rin was standing right there, Aka jumped out of her half-on boot.
"Sorry Aka-san! I was walking you to the door but I didn't realize you were, um, gonna say that?" Rin added sheepishly.
Aka sighed, before touching her cheeks, "God how long has it been since I've been so embarrassed!"
Rin smiled awkwardly before wondering a bit loudly. "How old is your son?" she asked mildly grossed out, was he old?
The bubbly old woman shook as tremors of laugher fought their way out. "Oh no sweetheart, he's 22 and a loser. Trust me, when I got saddled with a child at 46 I didn't know where to place myself. I used to thank the good Kami that nothing was wrong with him, but I've grown to realize that there is."
"I'M SORRY I DID NOT MEAN TO ASK THAT ALOUD!"
"Oh no, it's fine! I've been looking for a young lady with a gentle enough heart to look at my 'soundcloud artist' son."
"That's so mean!" Rin scowled, "maybe he's really talented!"
"If he were talented, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt!" she snorted, "But he's stupid! He lives at home and makes weird squawking noises, samples them, and calls it music."
"You mean ad-libs?"
"That's what their called? Ad-my foot that's what."
Sesshomaru's eyebrows went up at the statement before adding, "What a cruel fate to resign a woman to. I'd mistakenly believed you were nice."
"I cannot believe you joked, much less spoke! But, oh whatever you! Well, I'll see you guys in two days, and remember my words Shigeto-san!"
Aka exited the house, and waved, before hopping into the car with her son.
Rin decided to change her clothes before going back into the kitchen.
She frowned as she thought on exactly what to cook. There was steak there, but could she stomach it? She should stick to something light, but she wasn't going to be rude about the lack of food in his fridge. She decided on it momentarily, before decidedly pulling the steak, onions, and garlic out of the fridge and some frozen mixed vegetables from the freezer.
She scoured the cabinets and smiled upon finding some barley, and decided she would make a beef and barley stew.
Rin poured out two bowls of stew, and two cups of tea and placed them onto the kitchen island.
"Shigeto-san! Please come and eat!"
Sesshomaru walked into the kitchen before starting, "Rin, I'm in no need of food."
Rin thought his wording was odd, but shook it off.
"Please come and eat!"
He turned his head.
"Please!"
"No."
"If you don't i'm gonna starve myself and turn into a pile of dust!" She watched him intently before folding her arms.
"Rin, eat."
"No!"
Several minutes passed with Rin looking skywards, pouting, and folding her arms.
Upon realizing that the girl had no intentions of eating, Sesshomaru slid into the seat next to her not quite wanting her stew to grow cold. It was already early afternoon and the girl still hadn't eaten
The girl smiled before cooing, "Thank you!"
Rin slurped a spoonful of still hot stew and watched Shigeto intensely.
He felt her eyes on him, and he reluctantly picked at a silver of steak in the stew before chewing it thoughtfully.
It wasn't distasteful, actually it was quite pleasant. Although, it might've been the companionship accompanying the meal that made it taste incrementally better.
Rin smiled before leaning in and asking, "How is it?"
"It is pleasant." He stated dryly, but honestly.
"Well, considering you don't say much, I will have to take your word for it!"
The rest of the day went by uneventfully, that is, until Rin decided to play housemaid.
Rin spun around the mansion dusting furniture, cleaning crawl spaces, dusting the ceiling fans and chandeliers, she even went as far as wiping off the windowsills and scrubbing the floor's baseboards...with a new toothbrush.
At the moment, she found it her prerogative to stand on the dining room table and wipe the chandelier with a microfiber cloth. Sesshomaru watched her fumble on her tiptoes to dust the glass gems suspended from the ceiling.
Without preamble, he walked over to her and wrapped both arms around her thighs. Rin dropped the feather duster to the ground as he hefted her off the table.
Rin remained frozen in catatonic shock as he loosened his grip on her thighs, allowing her to slide down his body and gently touch her toes to the ground.
Both of her arms remained on his chest as she finally regained some semblance of thought, which processed themselves in word-vomit.
"THAT WAS WEIRD DON'T DO THAT! You just snuck up behind me, and grabbed me and then you just make me slide down on you like a playground slide! You absolutely scared me!"
Rin thought about her verbiage and gasped as she realized her thoughts became fuddled in translation, "I didn't-Oh God-I didn't mean it like that! I meant to say slide down, but not like that, it came out badly!" Way to go! Way to go! Poor sexual innuendos come pouring out of your mouth! Now he's gonna think I'm some pervert! Pervertido sujo!
He took a moment to enjoy her her obvious flust-ration, considering she was both flustered and frustrated.
Sesshomaru cut her off mid-rant between some foolishness about how she would have broken the chandelier if she had grabbed onto it.
"Rin, silence."
The girl stopped with a hot scowl, before realizing her hands were still on his chest.
She tried to snatch them back before he tightened his grip on her waist.
He looked down at her face momentarily before watching how the sunset splayed itself across her eyes, highlighting the umber toned brown to an amberine color, and the threads in her iris to a bright gold.
"Rin, you are an honored guest in this household, not anyone's maid, it is time you behaved as such."
"But, I'm so thankful that I want to return my gratitude in some way"
"Why? I pay for these services. I have this house cleaned professionally quarterly, and hire a maid for maintenance and upkeep. This home is in immaculate condition, and therefore you should simply rest."
Rin held her head down momentarily before nodding, and then piqued gently with awe, "I mean, if you could call this a house. This is a mansion..."
Sesshomaru looked around, "It is modest."
"Modest?" The girl watched him as though he grew a second head.
Wordlessly he loosened his grip before picking up the feather duster, and Rin skipped to match his long strides.
He thought momentarily before asking, "Isn't it…" he struggled while trying to remember the human term for evening dining, "dinner time?"
"Oh! I'd forgotten all about it, I guess I wasn't hungry." She half-lied.
"You are lying."
Rin stopped mid-skip and grimaced, "I know I shouldn't think about it, but I can't stop thinking of the...incident. It hurts to think about the fact that I had part in the loss of a life, even if it wasn't my fault, like you said, that she died."
Sesshomaru sighed before waiting until she turned to meet eyes with her, after their eyes met, he uncharacteristically pulled her in for a side-hug. From what he understood, humans needed physical as well as verbal reassurance after trauma. Although, it wasn't much different with demons, he, simply put, was just unfeeling for the most part. His own father had been a hugger, and his mother, albeit aloof, had occasionally liked her hands to be held, since she was not a fan of such close contact.
He, himself, unfortunately had taken from his mother's side, and not from his father's.
Sesshomaru smelled salt and closed his eyes momentarily before continuing cryptically, "It will all be fine, just as though nothing had occurred."
The girl wiped her tears and nodded before trying to change the subject, "I guess I should try to watch some news. Know what else is going on in the world outside of the realm of my own issues."
Rin left him in the kitchen as she walked to the living room while wiping her tears. She carefully inched her way into the seat, refusing to plop down on the lovely furniture with no regards.
She fumbled with the sleek remote, not quite recognizing the buttons.
Rin finally managed to get the television on, and while trying to fumble with the channel she noticed it was an apple television. "God, I didn't know Apple had Tv's now." She mumbled to herself. She noted sadly that she'd been in survival mode so long, she wasn't aware of any cool or fun developments in the last few years. She'd heard them, but paid no mind to them really, since she was always occupied with something else.
Rin looked around for Shigeto and noted he wasn't there, and she flipped around until she recognized TV Japan. She stopped on that news channel and let it drown out her intrusive thoughts.
Some show finished up, before a red banner on the bottom of the channel in Japanese rotated the words, "Emergency Broadcast: Breaking News!"
The news, NHK World, started up on the station, and she watched with apt interest. NHK was a Japanese station, and she hoped that a Tsunami or other natural disaster was not on route to the island.
The news began with Raja Pradhan speaking, "...There has been breaking news at Sumitomo hospital, in Osaka prefecture, here in Japan…" Rin's ear's buzzed, that was the closest hospital towards the slums in her old area. She leaned closer and turned up the television to actually hear what was going on.
"...A young woman by the name of Mei Tadano was involved in a staircase fall in a highly dilapidated building, the young woman experienced extensive brain damage, but by some medical miracle has recovered from her previous vegetative state. The landlord of the building, Kenta Oshima, has been arrested for several building code offenses, such as illegal renting, as well as several provisions from allowing the building to fall into such a state of disrepair. He was also charged with arson, after an investigation concluded that the building had been lit aflame to cover evidence."
Rin covered her mouth as they showed the charred remains of her old apartment. The reporter continued, "Here is the official press release of Tadano's statements, as well as the doctors from Sumitomo hospital."
The camera zoomed onto a platform as a doctor rolled out Mei in a wheelchair, dressed in a white and blue hospital gown with a blanket on her legs, into the pressroom of the hospital.
Rin walked to the television and touched Mei's face as they zoomed in.
"...Tadano-san, how is it that you recovered so quickly."
She gasped, "I-I had an odd dream, and I woke up to doctors swirling me. I recall everything before the fall, and I am able to do everything I once did...Possibly even better than before."
The audio continued with the recording of several reporters asking questions about Mei's recovery and other further questioning about the future of medicine and future studies on her to find out what caused the regenerative effect. "...We will study Tadano-san to help heal others in similar predicaments, Uchida-san." one doctor responded gruffly before bowing his head at the podium.
She didn't pay any heed to their statements, but just allowed relief to flow through her body and soothe her mind.
Rin allowed herself to cry.
She offhandedly remembered her own wounds sustained from the fight, and wondered if Shigeto had anything to do with it. But she didn't allow herself to think on that thought too long, she'd figure it out later.
An unsuspecting sob crept up her throat, and she began to weep.
Sesshomaru stood in the kitchen hallways and watched her cry, and finally allowed himself to truly breathe. He was glad, that nothing would harm her anymore.
Perhaps, maybe she is a fool with too big of a heart, but he could learn from her. He would do better this time around, afterall, it isn't too often that a person gains a second chance with another. Much less, a third.
Elsewhere in the world, a girl gone rogue hugged her mother and wept. The elder woman in the pink turtleneck petted her daughter's sweaty hair in the privacy of the hospital room before kissing her temple.
The two decided to use the last of their mother's savings, and move away to escape the tyrant that served as their patriarch.
Rin wept her sorrows away as she prayed for Mei wherever she was,
and thanked God Almighty for the angel that was Shigeto.
She prayed for reunification, peace, and restoration to all who have crossed her path.
And decided with a finally clear mind that she would start from scratch.
Tomorrow was a new day for everyone, and so will it be for she.
She turned off the television
And remembered to sing
Fin: Rebirth (Renascimento)
