Chapter fourteen: Fighting Lessons With Sesshoumaru

Rin

I took a deep breath before taking a step towards Lord Sesshoumaru. I had two twin blades in my hands. I called one Yin and the other one Yang. Like the story about light and dark? One of the blades was decorated with a silver handle with black intricate swirls and designs while the other one was gold with silver swirls and designs on it. That's why I called them Yin and Yang. Anyway I took a step towards Sesshoumaru-sama with a little bit of worry. I mean I felt like I've held a sword all my life, for some strange reason but I knew I couldn't win against Lord Sesshoumaru. I mean he was pretty much the ruler of the Western lands!

"I already see a mistake in that one move Rin. Your not balanced. Watch," Lord Sesshoumaru said while walking up to me.

"If you took a step like what you just did towards your attacker then he could easily push you over, example," Sesshoumaru put his hand on my shoulder with a bit of pressure on it and then he pushed me lightly and I just toppled over.

Okay I saw what he meant now. So I tried with my stance again and at that moment I felt balanced with my swords in my hands. Sesshoumaru-sama nodded his head in acknowledgement and I felt my stomach start to spin with excitement.

Then he did something that shocked me to no ends. He launched forward and I screeched before taking a step back and covering the front of my body with my blades. But, I fell to the ground again when Sesshoumaru tried to get at me in the side with his sword. It didn't cut but it still made me nervous when he used it.

Once I was up off the ground he came at me again but this time I found my balance on all sides of my body and then began to move with him. It was like dancing instead with dangerous swords and weapons. He never used his poison whip on me but then again he didn't even really have to use anything like that on me. A moment later after doing really good I tripped over a thing of hard dirt and I fell over. Sesshoumaru-sama jumped back swiftly so I wouldn't end up tripping him.

I sighed and was breathing hard. As easy as it sounded this was pretty hard and frustrating. This wasn't only my third time falling. I pretty much fell through the whole time we where doing that. I was really clumsy and I sighed wishing I could be as graceful as Lord Sesshoumaru was.

I could feel my eyes widen in shock when Lord Sesshoumaru offered me his hand to help me up. The last few times I fell in the beginning he never helped me up. It was weird, like when he kissed me. After that day he never kissed me again, and I kind of wished he would again. But I knew he never would and besides… he probably only did it because he was worried or because of something else. I knew it wasn't because he cared about me.

I was torn from my thoughts when I noticed that his hand still hadn't let go of mine. I looked up at him with a questioning look on my face. "Lord Sesshoumaru? What are you doing?" I asked.

His body seemed to move a little closer to me and I moved towards him. All kinds of different thoughts whirled around in my head. I didn't know if this was right or wrong. All I knew was that I wanted Lord Sesshoumaru to kiss me and that was all I cared about. Right? But the question was… did he care? I pulled away and looked at him with questioning eyes before his lips even met mine.

"Lord Sesshoumaru? Why did you kiss me after Klan attacked? I mean do you even care about me?" I asked, deciding to come straight out and ask because if I didn't do it now I would never have the courage to do it again.

There was a few minutes of silence before Lord Sesshoumaru turned around and began to leave, without even answering my question. I stared at his back shocked and most of all… I was confused. Why didn't he answer my question? My heart felt heavy. I sighed and let my arms fall to my side, my two blades tapping lightly on my thighs.

The walk back to the castle was filled with an uncomfortable silence and I drug my feet. Sesshoumaru-sama wouldn't even look at me. Why was he just about to kiss me when he couldn't even answer my question? I guess he couldn't because he hated humans. Like me.

*Later In the Garden*

I was sitting in the garden with Ah-Un thinking about what Sesshoumaru-sama did earlier when he was teaching me. He almost kissed me... but yet, he still didn't have feelings for me. But why would he kiss me if he didn't have any feelings for me? The answer was beyond me but I still wanted to find out why. In the middle of my thoughts Ah-Un stiffened up and a low deep growl rose from his throat. I got up off the ground and turned to see a beautiful women that seemed to be a demon to me. Even though she was beautiful, she didn't look nice or happy.

"Who are you?" I asked, feeling braver then I actually felt.

"The names Kagura. What are you doing in Sesshoumaru's garden human?" The women asked and I glared at her. It wasn't any of her business why I was here.

"Because I live with him. Why are you here?" I demanded.

The demon women smirked at me and I gulped a little but I rested my hands on one of my blades, just in case. This time Kagura laughed.

"You really expect to take me on? When you don't even know who your up against," she laughed and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"I'm here to see Sesshoumaru and I'm the reason why he won't kiss you. A human. Does that ring a bell to you? Remember he hates humans," the demon said with a smirk.

I was really beginning to not like her.

"That's enough Kagura. If you have business with me come to me. Leave my ward out of this," Sesshoumaru-sama ordered. He looked angry for some reason.

She turned to Lord Sesshoumaru with an "innocent" look on her face. It made me want to use one of my new twin blades on her. I was shocked that I thought something like that, but she was just being rude and mean.

"We where just talking Sesshoumaru. Weren't we Rin?" She asked and I blinked.

How did she know my name already? She smirked as if reading my thoughts she answered them.

"Does the name Naraku ring a bell to you?"

Lord Sesshoumaru froze and gave her a look. I was glad I wasn't in her spot right now. He looked scary and to me, he never was so she was probably in for it.

" What business do you have with that half breed?" He demanded and his eyes flickered a light red color.

She looked worried and at the moment I couldn't blame her. But she brought it on herself.

"Nothing I just ran into him once or twice on my way here," she answered and I could tell she was lying.

So could Lord Sesshoumaru.

"Do not lie to me women. Tell me. What business do you have with the half breed?" Sesshoumaru-sama demanded again.

Kagura sighed. "I work for him," was all she said before taking one of those white feathers out of her hair and when it turned into a giant large feather, a burst of wind made it glide into the air and Kagura flew away.

This was the most random encounter with a demon yet. Lord Sesshoumaru turned his back and walked away, but just as he was a few steps away from me he stopped and turned back to look at me.

"Rin meet me tonight here in the garden. We are having another training session with you," he said and with that he walked off and left me to ponder on my thoughts.
