Chapter 4
"She is not injured," Rin told him with out turning around. She had learned to sense his presence not long after he had revived her.
"Oh, and you, how are you?" he looked her over to make sure that there were no marks of any kind on her perfect body.
"I am fine My Lord," she turned to face him. "And you how are you, Lord Sesshoumaru, you look very tired," she spoke to him, concern shining in her deep brown eyes, and her worry palpable in her voice.
"I am, but I thought I told you to call me Sesshoumaru,"
"Yes, Sesshoumaru," she blushed slightly.
"I can't sleep, my dear, you should know that, I have to protect you," he looked at her and wondered how he had ever lived with out her.
"Alright, I'll make a deal with you," she spoke to him with her emotions playing in her eyes.
"What does this deal involve," he spoke knowing she would do anything for him.
"I will stay in the tepee if you get some sleep," she knew she wouldn't have to argue much more.
"And what would you do while I sleep?" he asked staring at her.
"I have many things to do, for example: my writing, my art work and other things," Rin said with a shrug.
"Very well, my sweet Rin, but next time I won't give in so easily" he spoke with a playful tone to his words.
"That's fine I can be just as stubborn as you," he tried to take off his armor with his left hand, he had gotten it back after Naraku had vanished, but found he still had trouble with it.
"Let me help you, Sesshoumaru," she had a way of getting him to feel relaxed that no one else even cared to know.
"You have the softest touch my dear," he took her hand, and brought it to his mouth to lay a kiss on it before letting it go.
"Thank you, Sesshoumaru, you are very kind," she smiles, and a blush erupts over her face.
"No my dear, you are the one who is kind, but now is not the time for this," he sat on his cot, swung his feet over the side, and laid down. Rin walked over, and joined him on the cot. She wanted to be near him for awhile, so she curled up with him. Her head was on his chest, and soon the two slipped into their dreams.
