Story: Hushed Wings Of A Dragonfly

*Summary:* Telling her she is useless he locks her away in a tower. Hoping that no one will see his daughter. But, one day an "accident" happens and our beloved Rin meets the ice prince Sesshoumaru.

(Must Read)! Author's Note: Thanks guys for all the amazing reviews! Anyway about the last chapter and it being a little slow. That was kind of my point because I am trying to pace this story out. I don't want it to go too fast or too slow you know what I mean? I kind of want to even all the events out. The reason is because sometimes I tend to rush a little and not have things like that paced and it gets confusing. This chapter will have a little more action in it and then it will slow down again afterwards. Also I need some more ideas on how to have Sesshoumaru lighten up to Rin sometime. Anyone have any ideas?

Chapter Seven: Frightining Dreams Of The Past

Rin

*Dream*

"Mommy are you going to be well soon?" I asked. My mother gave me a sad regretful smile. I knew the answer she held by the look in her eyes. My little hands held hers lightly and tears slid down my cheeks. My mom took a deep painfilled breath before opening her mouth to speak to me. She looked so different when I was nothing but two years old. Now her cheeks where pale and her eyes had lost their glow. She had no more color in her cheeks like she used to and her normally happy smile was gone. Now, it was just filled with sadness.

"Rin you must listen to your father when I go you have to promise me this. Stay with him," she pleaded.

I could do nothing but nod my head at her request. She smiled again at me and squezed my hand lightly. Then her hand went limp and her arm seemed to relax and she closed her eyes. I gasped and looked her over. She wasn't breathing. She looked peacful. Happy again in her "sleep."

"Mommy! Please wake up!" I cried.

Nothing happened and I laid my head on her chest and sobbed. I would try and keep my promise to respect her will. Dad had been acting differently ever since mom started getting ill. He had been away from the castle a lot more and when he came home, he seemed different.

I had no idea how hard my promise was going to be.

*End Of Dream*

I woke up with a start. Gasping for air I wiped the sweat off my forehead. Sesshoumaru was still awake and he was looking at me. I got up and headed over to him. I stopped for a moment unsure if I should sit beside him or not. When he didn't do anything when I moved closer to him I took that as I sign he didn't mind me sitting beside him. So, I sat down next to him and then another tear slid down my cheek. Sesshoumaru still sat beside me in silence not saying anything and for some reason that seemed to help me calm down a little. I opened my mouth to talk about my dream and everything began to pore out of it.

"When I was little my mom died of an illness that the doctors in the village couldn't idientify. I was only a little girl when I watched her close her eyes and die. Once my mother was gone my father started being more... agressive and he came home and took whatever was wrong with him out on me. I stayed with him for a few years and that was before I met Inuyasha and his group. I stayed with them until I met Ah-Un and then you let me travel with you. I'm really grateful you let me. I know you probably didn't want me to walk with you but you did. Thank you," I finished and then blushed when I realized I told him my whole story.

He didn't say anything for a while and when he did what he said shocked me.

"You humans are all the same. When one human dies the other one either kills themselve or take it out on someone else. That is how wars start that is exactly how my father died. Because of human jealousy and anger," Sesshoumaru said simply.

I just stared at him shocked. "I'm sorry about your father Lord Sesshoumaru. I'm sure you cared for him a lot," I said.

Again it was a while before he said anything.

"I never cared for him. I wanted to kill him myself and gain his power so I could rule. Nothing more," he stated.

I sighed. He was so stubborn! I was glad though that he was finally talking to me even though he did insult the human race but I'm sure there was a lot more to his explanation then that. He couldn't be that cold and heartless like his brother said he was. The two have probably just been hurt and can't even look at eachother now.

"I'm sorry again My Lord," I said again.

This time I didn't get a thing out of him. I yawned and laid my head back against the tree that we where both leaning up against. I was going to try and make Sesshoumaru not hate humans so much and help him see that not all humans where like the one who killed his father.

The next morning when I woke up Sesshoumaru was gone but his white fur that he wore on his shoulder was put over me sometime during the night. I smiled lightly and cuddled up into it and closed my eyes again, getting ready to fall back into a dreamless sleep but then I heard Jaken's voice shreik over the clearing.

"Get up human! You are holding us back!" He yelled and a rock was thrown at his head.

"Jaken! Enough," Sesshoumaru ordered.

"Yes Mi Lord," Jaken squeaked.

I looked at Sesshoumaru shocked that he had done that. He wasn't looking at me, his back was turned on me. Maybe he didn't hate me so much after all?

A/n: Okay another short-ish chapter but I put a little bit more of Rin and Sesshoumaru into it. Hopefully it was a little paced out. Oh and Sesshoumaru hasn't completly warmed up to her. But like in the shows and movie's he is going to do that slowly.;) I hope you guys liked this!
