Chapter 6
The suns warmth poured down as I crawled out of the blankets. The blankets fell as I stretched out to the sky and gave a yawn. Judging by the suns position, it was around eight o' clock. Once again Sesshoumaru was nowhere to be seen, Jaken and Ah-un was also gone. Who could blame him? He had a great deal of land to patrol.
Just then Rin shifted to the left as her legs sprawled to the edge of the sleeping mat. Her hair swayed to cover her round face as her lashes cradled her cheeks, her breathing came in a steady beat of 1,2 1,2 1,2 … to think that I came this far to care for such a lively girl and to accompany a high-class demon. I smiled to myself and nodded in contentment. I shifted my gaze from the forest to the lil one beside me.
As I about to stroke her hair when she giggled and started to hum in her sleep. Her voice wafted in the air and he came from out of the forest.
He walked over to Rin and knelt down, he then took her face in his hand and smiled, but only for a mere second. His other hand flashed to his hip and he fingered Toukijin. A low growl escaped his mouth.
I tilted my head to the left to look past him, but I saw no one. I looked to him then to the forest, a chill crawled up my spine and I quickly covered Rin. How could have these guys slip through his and my senses?
Sesshoumaru drew Toukijin as two demons popped out, both were male and they had a black suit of armor on with a blue sash tied at their waist, on their backs were twin scythes.
"Sooo it is true that the Lord Sesshoumaru took on another human girl." The one on the left stated plainly.
The one on the right borely commented, "Well won't his mother be happy to see that this one can sense such other worldly beings, but she's no priestess."
"What is your purpose? Did Mother send you?"
"Yes and no." The left one replied, "She said to 'keep an eye on that human girl.' We just wanted to see for ourselves if she was telling the truth."
"Tell her what you see and leave."
Rin sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Lord Sesshoumaru?" He glanced to her then to me then back to the intruders, "Rin stay by Valor." Rin only nodded.
"Now I'll ask politely," Toukijin sizzled with power, "leave or be destroyed."
The two demons bowed and took to the sky.
"Who were they?" Rin voiced my thoughts.
"Mothers personal body guards." Sliding Toukijin back into its sheath, "It's best that you get back to practicing wearing the shoes and kimono. Mothers curiosity is growing."
I nodded in agreement Damn bitch, I thought as I slipped into the dress.
