Chapter 21:
It was dark and Sesshomaru had left as Yunia sat on a grassy rock, Rin cradled in her arms and asleep. Yunia Sighed and smiled as Jaken's snores made a snot bubble coming from his nose grow and shrink. Yunia ran her finger through Rin's hair as she stared up at the moon, waiting to see a black shadow fly across it and see Sesshomaru appear before her. She had decided to listen to her heart.
She looked back at Rin then back up to the sky, finally she saw him come flying across the sky. A smile spread across her face as she put Rin down and stood up. Her hair fluttered behind her as he landed before her with his eyes glistening down at her. His eyebrows arched as she smiled more and shook her head, crossing her arms she turned and walked across the ground.
"Sesshomaru…I have a confession" she whispered
"What?"
"You know how before I told you I knew what you were talking about in the garden…Well I lied…I still have no idea what you were getting at…Was it me that was bothering you?" she blurted out, turned around, and saw him right behind her. He lifted her chin as she saw his eyes glittering in the light of the full moon. Her breath came slowly from her lips, as it turned into fog. The cold nipped at her lips and the small wind scratched at her arms. She still had no clue what he meant,
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and in-closed her hand in his,
"It was the fact that all you had to do was attach yourself to me to feel safe," he whispered as Yunia's eyes glowed with confusion in the moon light. Her face smooth and perfect in his sight.
"But doesn't Rin do that?"
"Rin is young and a child…I'd expect that from her but…I can't…" he whispered, He couldn't find the words that fixed his heart at the moment. He had so many urges to do different things.
He let go of her hand but kept his one hand under her chin, steadying her chin so he could control where she looked. She smiled as she looked up but her eyes were closed
"No one could ever figure me out so I would see this as normal" she whispered and opened her eyes, laughing just slightly as Sesshomaru let go of her chin and turned to leave once more.
"Sesshomaru…Could you answer me this…Where do you go?" She stopped him as he stood there, Yunia walked over to his side and looked up at him curiously,
"…Well then answer me this… Do you enjoy me being here…Do you enjoy me being back?" she whispered, he turned to her and their gazes locked for what felt like forever.
Yunia did not even have to ask him any more, she might never know what she asked of but what she did learn was he had a reason to keep her. Yea, He enjoyed her being there, But was he truly happy of her being back, Yunia might never know. However, the look in his eyes assured her that he would tell her when he was ready; she would understand when he did himself.
As if in a dream, He let her walk in front of him, still looking up at him. They stood facing each other, As Yunia walked up right in front of him, and she was not as tall as he was but she was only 3 inches from his chin. She wrapped her arms around him, but what surprised Yunia more was.
He wrapped his arms back around her
A smile and tears came to her face, her eyes closed as her smile brightened but her tears doubled
"Sesshomaru…It feels so good to be back here…To be back in your arms length! I'm sorry for leaving but I promise that whatever happens…I'll always come back!" she blurted out in a sob as rubbed her head in his chest. He just rested his head on hers as she cried out in happiness, and yet pain. She never wanted to leave his arms anymore, she might not know if he liked her more then a companion but Yunia knew in her heart that she liked him just a little bit more then that.
She held on tighter as if she was a young girl hugging her father right before he went off to war. She promised herself that no matter what happened, No matter if they fought, No matter who tried to kill her, she would always come back to Sesshomaru. He was her home base, she always had Akayla…But Sesshomaru was the Man she knew she wanted to spend her life trying to figure out.
Jaken and Rin sat up at the slight noise. Rin rushed over and shook Jaken fully awake as they looked over and saw them glowing in the moon light.
Jaken's jaw dropped as far as it would go. There stood his master holding a human while she hugged him. He rested his head gracefully on hers with his eyes closed as the girl cried into his chest.
His Master, Sesshomaru, Jaken's master was holding a human in his arms and not regretting it! In fact, Sesshomaru looked almost…happy…To have the girl in his arms. Rin sighed in Awe as she turned to Jaken and punched his arm as hard as she could
"Told you!" she whispered harshly and smiled back at the tall figures in front of the full moon. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes but he was not dreaming, they were becoming closer. Way closer then he would have expected! He sat down next to Rin as the two adults held each other, it looked as if glitter was flying from them!
"Sesshomaru…Thank you for everything" Jaken heard the Human whisper, Jaken became interested in why she said that.
"Thank you…For everything you've done, Being by my side threw all this…Letting me go home…Everything" she added on as Sesshomaru just stood there as the girl pulled herself closer
"I never want to let go Sesshomaru" she finished off as Rin sighed more in awe,
"I want to fall in love like Yunia-san…" She whispered as Jaken shook his head,
"There is no way Lord Sesshomaru could be falling in love with a human!"
"Its too late Master Jaken…They already have…It's just a matter of days before they become even closer….Master Jaken! Do you think they'll kiss!"
"No you stupid child! Lord Sesshomaru would never kiss a Human!" he whispered back harshly as he looked back at the holding couple.
"Well…I think he will, I think they'll kiss during another full moon…" she whispered and laid back with a smile,
"That could never happen…" Jaken trailed off and laid back down, At least he hoped they wouldn't…He couldn't stand the thought of his Lord Sesshomaru falling in love with a human…Or to further it, Kiss one.
