THIS is the end of the prolouge. these four chapters that you have just read are actually supposed to be one chapter of the whole story. i made this chapter a small one so i can hurry up and start on my REAL story.
After a long moment of silence, Sesshomaru, who still did not receive his desired answer, spoke with heavy concern into the darkness ahead of him. "Rin, you have grown into a more mature and sophisticated girl, but at the same time, you have grown more vulnerable to the evil of your surroundings; even with my protection, you won't be safe enough to calm my worries. I have decided to train you to be a warrior woman to fend yourself when I am not able to protect you. Do you agree to my suggestion?"
Rin contemplated for a short while before answering, "Yes, Sesshomaru-sama."
Sesshomaru suddenly pulled Rin towards himself with such a great force that the startled Rin could do nothing but fall into his embrace. Neither understood their actions, but neither objected to them.
"Rin, promise me one thing, is that agreed? Promise me that you would never walk off by yourself into a dangerous situation and get yourself injured, because I will be very, very angry at you if that should happen." To his own dismay, it sounded more like a plead than a command. He held her for what seemed to him like forever, enjoying the scent of her hair and her body, taking pleasure in her warmth, until he was finally able to let her go.
Rin, on the other hand, was still too shocked to react, and clung to Sesshomaru like he was her only chance for survival. She could not afford to have this short moment pass her by without her being aware of it. Two words – barely audible, slipped through her trembling lips.
"I promise."
