Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Saisyo, the storyline, and some later characters that will be made by me.
Notes: If our dear Sesshomaru seems OOC, forgive me. I'm used to writing really sappy Sesshomaru love stories, but I don't post those, they're just for fun. He's definitely going to be OOC, but I will try to make it minimal.
Upon waking up the next morning, which was before everyone else, Rin got up, grabbed her flute, and began practicing scales that Saisyo had taught her. She made sure that her fingers were in the right place before playing. This time, she didn't squeak at all.
When she was sure that she could play without messing up, Rin began playing the song that she'd heard going to sleep last night. She hadn't been taught, but was playing it the way she thought it would go by what it sounded like.
Sesshomaru then awoke, not because of her playing, he was naturally an early riser. He heard the playing and thought it was Saisyo, but when he stood up, it was Rin. 'So this is what she was planning.' he thought.
Rin turned around and saw Sesshomaru looking at her. She smiled widely and ran up to him. "Did I play well, Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked.
He nodded and smiled lightly at her. "Did Saisyo teach you that?"
Rin nodded vigorously, the little ponytail on the side of her head bouncing. "She taught me the words, too. Would you like to hear?"
Sesshomaru nodded again and, to his surprise, instead of singing them herself, she went to get Saisyo, who was washing her face in the river about ten feet away to wake herself up. He saw Rin say something to her and her eyes widen.
Rin grabbed her arm and pulled her over to Sesshomaru. She was beginning to panic now. "R-Rin, I'm not used to singing i-in front of people..."
"It's only Sesshomaru-sama, he won't tell anyone." Rin said, then added to Sesshomaru, "Will you?"
He shook his head 'no' and leaned his back against a tree looking expectantly at her. Rin blinked once and began playing the introduction to the song. Saisyo took a deep breath and blushed at Sesshomaru before beginning to sing.
"Moshi ima kanashimi afureru nara. Watashi ni motarete naite ii kara.
I get, I get, I get, get the feeling.
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming.
Tada kono mama
Come my way,
Kono yami no hotori
Come close to me.
Ima akari tonoshi
I'll be with you, I'll be with you.
Tada soba ni iru kara
So come my way.
Kizuite anata wa kono sekai de. Tada hitori dake no taisetsuna hito.
I get, I get, I get, get the feeling.
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming.
Tada sono mama.
Come my way,
Mou hitomi tojite
Come close to me.
Mou nemureba ii.
I'll be with you, I'll be with you.
Tada koko ni aru kara
So come my way."
Both Saisyo and Rin finished at the same time, Jaken, Aun, and Sesshomaru all watching intently. Suddenly, Jaken started clapping and Aun the two-headed dragon gave a nod of approval. Saisyo hadn't realized that she had gathered an audience, she was still looking at Sesshomaru, who hadn't taken his eyes off of her the whole time.
His mouth curled into a smile and she blushed. "Why don't you like to sing in front of people?" Sesshomaru asked, "You obviously have a beautiful voice."
Saisyo shrugged and smiled innocently. "I guess I was always too shy,"
Sesshomaru walked over to her and stood very close. "Well, now you don't need to by shy anymore, do you?"
She gulped and blushed even more. "I guess not,"
He smiled and began to walk away. Saisyo sighed and went over to Jaken and Aun and said, "Thank you both for your enthusiasm. I appreciate it."
All three of them nodded once more. (Remember that Aun has two heads.) "Sesshomaru-sama is correct, you really do have a beautiful voice," Jaken said before turning to follow him.
"Wow," Rin said, "Even Jaken-sama likes you."
"Hey, Rin, where did you learn to play that song? I only remember teaching you the words." Saisyo asked.
"I didn't," she replied, "I heard you playing it last night. Then it stopped and I heard you talking to Sesshomaru. I didn't want to eavesdrop, so I went to sleep."
"Wow, Rin, you must be a natural."
"No, I just have a really good sister,"
Afterwards they followed Sesshomaru to who-knows-where. They were just walking as far as Saisyo knew. Her and Rin were lagging behind talking about random things. Out of nowhere, Rin asked, "Are you in love with Sesshomaru-sama, Saisyo?"
At the front Sesshomaru stopped so suddenly that Jaken ran into him and was immediately on the ground apologizing. His eyes were wide when he turned around and looked at Rin. She didn't think that she'd said anything wrong. "What's the matter?" she asked.
Saisyo and Sesshomaru looked at each other and they both blushed a little. Then Sesshomaru seemed to calm down a bit and walked up to Saisyo. He then closed his eyes and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. To his surprise, it was not he who deepened the kiss, but Rin. She had squealed and jumped up on Aun's back and pressed their faces together.
Both of their eyes snapped open, but at the sight of each other, closed again. Saisyo moved her hand so that it entangled in Sesshomaru's hair, and he moved his so that they rested on her hips.
After quite a long time, in which Jaken had been choking on Kami only knows what, they broke the kiss. Saisyo said quietly and smiling shyly, "Does that answer your question, Rin?"
She nodded and squealed again. Sesshomaru picked Saisyo up bridal style and set her on top of Aun next to Rin, then smiled at her before continuing on his way.
Soon, though, he stopped again, looking at a moon shaped island in the bay. "So it has appeared again," he said.
"What has, Sesshomaru?" Saisyo inquired from Aun's back.
Turned and looked at her. "Horai Island."
Gomen nasai... It's kinda short, the next chapter will most likely be longer and have some action in it... Maybe. I'm trying to keep up with updates; every time I get a review for the most recent chapter I start writing the next. I'm posting ASAP.
