Chapter two: The Letter
Sesshoumaru sat at his desk, looking over ancient scrolls. A knock came at the door. "Enter." Sesshoumaru said. The door opened and there stood his messenger.
"Dear Lord Sesshoumaru! I have a letter for you!" The messenger said.
"Dismissed." Sesshoumaru said taking the letter and the messenger turned and left. Sesshoumaru opened the letter. It said:
Dear Sesshoumaru,
You are invited to a gathering at my palace in three days. We will be talking about the recent attacks that have been occurring at local villages and try to find out where and when they are going to strike next. If we are lucky then we will be able to stop them before more innocent lives are taken. We will have a mini party while we wait for everyone to arrive at my palace, so we hope you can come. You can bring one person of your choosing to the party. I need your response as soon as possible, telling me if you're coming or not and if your bringing a friend! Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Akio
Sesshoumaru stared at the letter. Sesshoumaru stood up and walked down to the garden where Rin was thinking. "Rin, would you like to come with me to a party?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Sure! I would love to!" Rin said excitedly.
"Ok. Well you should get some sleep, we are leaving early tomorrow morning. I'll be up in a minute." Sesshoumaru said.
Ok. Goodnight!" Rin said and ran upstairs to her room. She quickly changed into her pajamas and jumped into bed to wait for Sesshoumaru.
When Sesshoumaru came up so say goodnight he found Rin already asleep. He covered her up
and went back to his study. He wrote a letter replying to the letter he had got earlier. It said:
Dear Akio,
I will be attending your gathering and I will be bringing a friend. Her name is Rin and I
found her yesterday in the woods by herself. She is only a human and I want her treated with respect like you would treat me! You better send a warning to everyone else or else they will be sorry! We are leaving tomorrow and should be there a little early! I'll see you then!
Sincerely,
Sesshoumaru
Morning in Rin's room
Sesshoumaru walked into Rin's room. He looked around to see that the maids had put out a light purple kimono covered Rin's knees with intricate(very beautiful) pink vines up the sides and around the chest with gold stars around the neck. "Rin, come on it's time for you to get ready. We are leaving soon." Sesshoumaru said.
"Ok." Rin said as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Breakfast is almost ready, so when you are ready come down to the kitchen." Sesshoumaru said and walked off leaving Rin to get ready.
Suda walked in after Sesshoumaru left. "Good morning Miss Rin! Your bath has been drawn for you and your kimono is on the dresser!" Suda said in her perky voice.
"Ok. Thank you Suda. You may leave." Rin said as she got out of her bed. She went into the bathroom, dropped the clothes she had on, and got into the bath. It felt so good but she knew that she didn't have long so she quickly cleaned and got out. She walked over to the intricate kimono and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror.. She looked beautiful in it. She took the matching hair tie and but her hair up into a tight ponytail. Rin looked in the mirror at herself again until she remembered Sesshoumaru said he was leaving soon. She quickly ran downstairs, into the kitchen, and sat down to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was already done with his bowl of rice but he was waiting of Rin.
"Rin, you look very pretty today!" Sesshoumaru said as he watched Rin start to eat her bowl of rice.
"Thank you Sesshoumaru!" Rin said blushing as she finished her bowl of rice.
"Ok, we better get going." Sesshoumaru said as he stood up and walked towards the doors.
"Ok." Rin said as she followed Sesshoumaru to the doors, and out into the woods. They
walked for a little while until Sesshoumaru could smell a demon nearby. His scent was familiar.
"Come on Rin." Sesshoumaru said as he noticed that Rin was about twenty feet behind him. Rin
quickly ran up to where Sesshoumaru was.
"Sorry, I was watching the animals." Rin said.
"Just stay close to me." Sesshoumaru said. He felt like the demon was now watching him, so he scanned the trees but saw nothing. Sesshoumaru soon smelt another demon in the area, but this one was unfamiliar.
Sesshoumaru quickly picked Rin up in his arms and started running at his full speed. " What are you doing?!" Rin asked.
"There are two demons in the area and they are were watching us. I know one of them but the other is unfamiliar." Sesshoumaru said.
"Oh." Rin said as they came to a little clearing. Sesshoumaru couldn't smell the demons anymore, so he put Rin down. They started walking again. Rin started thinking and trailed off behind Sesshoumaru again. Soon Rin felt a hand cover her mouth and another hand wrap around her stomach and pick her up. She tried screaming but it was useless. She tried kicking him but it also had done nothing, he was just too strong. He carried her off to a nearby village that had been deserted years ago. The demon took her into a hut and threw her onto the bed that was in there.
"W...who are y..y..you?" Rin asked as she backed herself up as far as she could.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Where are my manners?!" The demon said. "My name is Kisho and my friend that you will meet soon is Shen. And you are?" Kisho asked playfully.
"R...Rin." Rin said as Kisho started to walk towards her. "W..what are y..you d..doing?" Rin asked trying to back up more but having no success.
"I was sent here to finish the job that Yuki started." Kisho said as he tore of Rin's kimono.
"NO! Sesshoumaru!! Plea..." Rin was cut off by Kisho's hand covering her mouth.
"Do that again and Sesshoumaru will die." Kisho said and pushed Rin backward onto the bed.
Back with Sesshoumaru
Sesshoumaru instantly noticed that Rin was gone. He sniffed around but couldn't catch her scent.
"NO! Sesshoumaru! Plea..." Sesshoumaru heard Rin scream and ran off towards the abandoned village.
It was minutes before Sesshoumaru arrive at the village. He smelt the air again and could smell Rin's. He walked towards a big hut that was in the middle of the village. There was a demon guarding the door. He ran out into the open and attacked the guard.
"Who are you and where the hell is Rin?" Sesshoumaru demanded.
With Rin and Kisho
Kisho sniffed the air. He could smell Sesshoumaru coming closer. "Here put it back on." Kisho said as he got off of Rin and threw her the kimono she had on earlier. Rin quickly put her kimono back on. "Now you better be quiet or I'll kill you." Kisho said. He knew Sesshoumaru was in the village.
"Who are you and where the hell is Rin?" Rin and Kisho could hear Sesshoumaru demand from Shen, the guard outsideKisho Grabbed Rin and but a knife to her throat and walked outside of the tent.
"Let me answer that," Kisho said. "That is Shen my new partner and as you can see Rin is right here."
"Kisho! What are you doing with Rin?" Sesshoumaru demanded again as Rin started to cry.
"Sesshoumaru! Please help me!" Rin yelled.
"Shut up stupid girl! And I have been sent to finish the job that Yuki couldn't because of that stupid Kohaku kid!" Kisho said as he pushed the knife into Rin's neck not knowing it. Rin's neck started to bleed, and as soon as Sesshoumaru smelt Rin's blood he attacked Kisho making him drop Rin with a thud. She quickly got up and ran into the woods.
"Chase her you fool." Kisho yelled at Shen who was just standing there. Shen quickly ran after her and in a matter of minutes caught up with her. He pinned Rin to the ground and tore off Rin's kimono and then his own.
With Sesshoumaru and Kisho
When Sesshoumaru saw Shen go after Rin, he quickly used his whip and sliced Kisho in half with blood splattering everywhere. Sesshoumaru then ran after both Rin and Shen. He sniffed the air and caught Rin's scent. He ran towards her and found that Shen had pinned her to the ground and was about to claim Rin as his. Sesshoumaru quickly ran over to them and threw Shen off of Rin then used his Dokkasou(Toxic Flower Claw) attack on him. Sesshoumaru had it him in the chest, so he died instantly. Sesshoumaru ran over to the now crying Rin and picked her up into a tight embrace.
"T..thank you S..Sesshoumaru." Rin said as she cried herself asleep in his arms.
Morning
"Good morning Sesshoumaru!" Rin said as she opened her eyes to find herself in Sesshoumaru's arms. "Did you walk all night?"
"Yes I did and we might be a little late. We need to stop at the next village and get some food." Sesshoumaru said.
"Ok where is the next village?" Rin asked as Sesshoumaru put Rin down.
"Not too far." Sesshoumaru said.
"Ok, I'll race you!" Rin said and started running. Sesshoumaru walked for about 5 minutes then started to jog. It didn't take long for Sesshoumaru to catch up, so he scooped Rin up in his arms and started running at full speed. They reached the village in minutes. Rin went into the village and got what she wanted while Sesshoumaru waited close by, he didn't want to go into the village because of all the humans that were around.
Rin came back in a matter of minutes with the ingredients to make tonkastu sandwiches. Rin took Sesshoumaru over into an opening in the trees and sat down to make the sandwiches. She made two for Sesshoumaru and two for her. They ate quickly, then set back off on their adventure to Akio's palace. They walked until it got dark out. They stopped and made camp in a field. Sesshoumaru sat down next to the fire with Rin right next to him. Rin layed down and instantly fell asleep.
Later that night Sesshoumaru woke up to see that Rin was thrashing around like crazy. Sesshoumaru picked her up and put her in his lap hoping that Rin would stop before she hurt herself. Rin instantly stopped and snuggled up into Sesshoumaru's chest. 'She is asleep Sesshoumaru kept repeating in his head, as he then fell back asleep with Rin in his arms.
Morning
Rin woke up in Sesshoumaru's arms again, but this time he was still asleep. Rin slowly tried to stand up without waking Sesshoumaru, but he just tightened his grip. Rin tensed up. 'Oh my god what is he doing?' Rin thought to herself.
"Good Morning Rin!" Sesshoumaru said as he woke up.
"Good morning!" Rin said and got up off of Sesshoumaru's lap. "We should get moving so that we get there on time." Rin said as Sesshoumaru stood up and started walking towards Akio's palace. He knew they were close but it would take some time it they were going to walk.
They walked for a few hours now and Sesshoumaru could tell that Rin was already getting tired, since she wasn't used to walking almost constantly for a couple of days. "Rin, hop onto my shoulders and hold on tight." Sesshoumaru said as he stopped to let Rin get ontop of his shoulders. Rin quickly jumped onto Sesshoumaru's shoulders and held on tight, as Sesshoumaru started running a full speed.
