This is a fairly long chapter. I just typed it up and I like it VERY much. Only because of the end parts though, okay Sesshoumaru might be a little OOC but he has to be a little since this a romance fanfiction.
Kayase smiles, "Oh. Rin? That's a wonderful name…" Sesshoumaru nods slightly as the three of them step onto the cloud and arrive at her village in an hour tops.
The people of the village look to Sesshoumaru in terrible fear, somehow knowing that they are in the presence of a demon.
Kayase steps forward seeing their trembling bodies and terrified eyes.
She says loudly, "We're here in search for my little sister… " They all turn their eyes to the her, their eyes less frightened. She continues, "She's maybe about 6 or 7 and her name is Rin."
Someone comes up running through the crowd. As she comes closer Kayase can see it's a little girl wearing a kimono. She has raven hair that looks just like hers and the same length as well. She looks like a smaller version of her except for her brown eyes.
The little girl looks dumbfounded at the three of them. She says, "My name's Rin." Her eyes then fall upon Sesshoumaru who's looking up at the sky.
"He seems familiar. Where do I know him from?"
Kayase bends down so she's making direct eye contact with her. Kayase says, "This may sound a little weird to you but I'm telling the truth… you're my little sister."
Rin points at herself, and her eyes widen. "Me?" Kayase nods at her.
Sesshoumaru thinks to himself annoyed, "Both seem like they are related… she's slow to catch on, just like Kayase at times…" He narrows his eyes at the little girl giving her a look over.
Rin says, analyzing the situation.
Flashback:
Rin's Father says to her, "You were not your mother's only child."
"I'm not?"
"No. You have an older sister. Someday she might even come to you and introduce herself when she comes to this time."
"Wow. Is she beautiful?"
"Very much. The last time I've seen her was when she was ten. She's probably about 14 now."
"I hope I get to meet her someday…"
Rin exits her flashback. She says, almost as a question, "You're my sister." Kayase nods and smiles as she realizes that she's now understanding who she is.
Rin says again, her eye widening, "I always wished that you would come sister!" She runs over to her and gives Kayase a big hug. Kayase says, "I can easily see our resemblance."
Sesshoumaru thinks back to a time he was fighting Inuyasha for the first time seeing kagome with him. Once he was injured he made the Tensaiga transport him to the outskirts of some village where a little girl helped him without showing any fear of him.
Rin was the girl who had helped; this was the village he was nearby. He clearly remembered her sticking her neck out for him.
She had gone to go him some fish, stealing it away from some men and she came back with bruises upon her skin. All the while he insisted that she simply mind her own business and leave him alone.
He had asked her where she had gotten her bruises from although instead of her responding with an answer she simply just smiles and he dismisses his question at this.
He thinks, "Just like that damn Kayase… so easy to trust people. Always smiling no matter what happens, no matter the condition she's in. I cnt hardly believe they are sisters though… what's the chances of me even meeting up with her little sister? Maybe one in a billion. And I suppose I found that one."
Rin says, taking Kayase's hand in hers, "My father told me that one day you'd come and see me. I never thought you wouldn't. I waited and hoped that someday you would and that someday is now." She smiles up at Kayase.
Kayase says, "Your father told you? Oh yeah… your father. Not mine." She smiles through a sad grin at Rin. Kayase asks the villagers, "Where's my little sister's things?"
An old woman says, "Who are you people just to come and take a little girl away from her village?" Kayase smiles, she says, "I'm her sister. I can take her away if I want seeing is tha I'm older and shall be her guardian from now on."
Rin looks up to Kayase, smile widening, not thinking of her even taking her along with her and him. She thinks, "How does sister know him? I've helped him but I don't even know his name."
The old woman says, "Well she had nothing here." Sesshoumaru steps forward to Kayase, he says, "Let's go. You can take care of her later, I want to get my sword from that old man."
Kayase nods, she replies, "okay Lord Sesshoumaru." Kayase says softly to Rin, "I know it may seem awkward for me to carry you like this but his transportation only has enough room for three. So I'll have to carry you on my hip."
Rin smiles, "Okay." Luckily she's small for her age so Kayase won't have a lot of weight hoisted upon her hip. (A/N: How tall are 7 year olds? She looks smaller than the average size to me, so oh well.)
In about thirty minutes, yeah, Sesshoumaru was on his wits end of getting frustrated from their little family reunion and such and just wanted to get his sword so it'll make him happy. One thought that never crossed his mind was if the little girl still remembered their encounter.
Totosei was sprawled agains the back of the cave sleeping, and also snoring. His was totally finished with Sesshoumaru's new sword, and on the inside Sesshoumaru was happy. He couldn't wait to see Inuyasha again.
A couple of days later…
They're resting by the lake. Sesshoumaru standing up, Rin in the water up to her knees her kimono pulled up so it won't get wet; Jakken in there with her. And Kayase standing next to Sesshoumaru.
Kayase says to him softly, she smiles brightly, "Isn't she just so adorable?" Sesshoumaru doesn't say anything to her, he just looks at her, indicating he's not going to answer a question such as that. He knew he didn't have to say because she could see it for herself within his gold eyes.
She sighs. "I can't believe I thought he would give me an answer to that question." She giggles at him for being so predictable with his actions.
He asks, "What's so funny?"
"You are."
"How is that?"
She looks at him in the same manner as he did to her earlier. She giggles again at herself trying to mock him. He looks at her in annoyance, and realizes she's looking up at him once more seriously this time.
He says, "What?" Trying hard not to make direct eye contact with her.
"What will become of us?"
"Us? What do you mean? What happens after we die or something?"
"No…" A blush spreads across her cheeks as she looks down at her feet. "You and…me… together."
Sesshoumaru's heartbeat quickens for a minute while on the inside of his head he's yelling at his heart to calm down. That it was nothing serious, but he knew subconsciously that what Kikyo said was true. He hated to admit what he knew was true, but he knew he had to do it sooner or later.
What was confusing for him was how he felt about her. He couldn't explain it in his head, and couldn't find the right words for it. He knew he secretly cared for her much more than her let her believe, and much more than he even let himself believe. And when he was away from her those past five years his thoughts always drifted to her not even for very long. But the fact they went to her was a sign enough that he had some sort of strong feelings for her.
"Don't ask such stupid things Kayase."
She takes great offense with him saying that what she was implying was stupid, she was just about to say something when he stopped her with a barely audible voice.
"You shouldn't put it pass me if I don't acknowledge it… "
Her eyes widen slightly not trying to draw attention to him from Jakken and Rin.
"I don't… know, exactly, about, how I feel for you… or if I feel anything at all. Or if what I'm feeling is lust. Lust and love as you know as well as I do are NOT the same thing… and they should not get mixed up. Leave this topic alone…"
It was more of a demand than a statement but she would take it whole heartedly because his explanation was better than him just looking at her again without responding. And at least she knew that he was in fact trying to sort out his feelings for her inside his head. He didn't say that he was but she knew he was, she could tell by how it took him a while to talk. Normally it wouldn't take him that long.
She smiles at him. "Okay." She stands on her toes, his pale cheek right in front of her as she kisses his cheek. She then hurriedly runs off into the water to play with Rin, them both giggling and splashing water on the other. He looks at her down in the lake annoyed, he sighs, but for some odd reason he decides not to scold her for her actions as she was a child. He decides to let it go by leaving him speechless and even more confused than he was minutes ago.
