Rin's POV
At long last! We're at the entrance of Sesshomaru-sama's enormous castle! I happily thought as we were entering the one place I could call 'home'…
"Welcome back, Sesshomaru-sama, Rin-sama." Takehiro, one of Sesshomaru-sama's General, greeted us.
I smiled and nodded as to show my acknowledgement to him, Takehiro is one of the kindest snake-demon I've met… well, the only snake demon I've met too… His dull black hair hang loosely behind his back… his eyes maliciously a magenta… and his skin pale… he carries his katana on his back… (A/N: ok, so he looks a lot like Orochimaru from Naruto, haha! But, no crossovers… just created him coincidentally… (^_^)v) I noticed he was very kind with me, especially me… too kind for me anyway… he arrived after I started living in the castle. Sesshomaru-sama didn't even acknowledge him, let alone trust him… he let him live in the castle because of good use in defending the castle, not that he needed him anyway… Takehiro-san is kind of odd today… his eyes… it's like, filled with malice?
"Hebi." Sesshomaru-sama growled…
"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama…" Takehiro replied with his seductive voice as he turned to Sesshomaru-sama and glared!
I'm starting to feel the tension between the two… until Sesshomaru-sama snapped his fingers and immediately five Tigress-demons made themselves known, they bowed deeply under Sesshomaru-sama's presence, one of them was the one who got my attention, she wore a blue-white kimono with a black obi tied around her perfect curve, her bluish-feet-lengthed-hair flowed freely behind her back, her ears were white and black stripes, found on top of her head, just like InuYasha-sama, luscious lips as red as blood, skin as white as snow and her eyes… you could see the ocean itself in it… while the other four had the black and sunset-golden striped traditional clothing with red obi tightly tied to keep the clothing together, they all had whiskers and their similarities ended there. Well, except for the four, they had tiger ears, all right, on top of their heads, but the colors were black and sunset stripes
"Rin" Sesshomaru-sama called me… I noticed Sesshomaru-sama looking straightly still at Takehiro-san. He's not looking at me in the eyes anymore…
"Hai? Sesshomaru-sama" I smiled brightly… Have I done something wrong? Something I will regret?
"They will be your ladies-in-waiting." As Sesshomaru-sama nodded to them, he gracefully walked away from us…
"Rin-sama, we are the most exquisite tigress-demons, ladies-in-waiting for you, from the Eastern Lands…" Said one of the four… I've never actually experienced having ladies-in-waiting… I have taken care of myself just fine when I was younger… well now… I'm 18…
"This one here," she said pointing to one of them…
"is Rikka, she will be responsible for your daily bath preparation…" she continued…
I bowed and smiled at her… she did the same… she looks really innocent and young… but she's shy too… anyway… her orange eyes simply tells her innocence… her short golden hair tells me she's a prim one… the next one was quite the opposite.
"Hello! I'm Mikka! Nice to meet you, Rin-sama! I'll be taking care of your face-paint so you'll look much more beautiful in the coming occasions! Hehe!" she's the jolly one… her sunset-golden eyes reminds me of the beautiful sunset that I see every day from the view of my balcony… her long, spiky red hair tells me she's wild and care-free…
"It's an honor to be able to work with you, RIn-sama… I will be in-charge of your glossy and silky hair in every occasion and time needed… I am Mitsuki" This one looked intelligent and a lot matured but friendlier than the other three… she has grayish eyes, in normal sight, you would think she's blind, but Rin's sight was superior… her long black- bouncy hair up in a high ponytail…
And then, the first one who spoke introduced herself…
"Yours truly, Mi-lady, Ruka… I'm the older sister of Rikka… and I will be in-charge of your daily attire…" She smiled intelligently, she and Rikka looked alike except for the hair, while Rikka's was short, hers was flowing freely down her back to the ground itself…
I smiled back… and the pillar… well, she's the only one different, and so I think of her as their pillar…
"And I… am Umi, Lady of the Eastern Islands… I will make sure everything is in order for you, mi-lady…" She actually looked younger than her companions… She gracefully bowed down, Lady?! But- but- why is she working for Sesshomaru-sama?
"Girls, leave us…" Umi-sama ordered the four to leave us when we reached my room…
The four of them bowed and left… when she was sure they were out of earshot… she eyed me from head to toe sharply, then looked at me sharply… and that's when she said those cactus words…
"I am here to seduce Sesshomar-sama… Don't dare to interfere, filthy human…" She said seriously with her sweet but firm voice… Have I thought wrong of becoming her friend? I was actually thinking she was the sweet and kind…
"What?" it came out of my mouth almost like a whisper…
"You heard me… How could a superior InuYoukai bear with your low comprehension? I pity Sesshomaru for taking you in… You're nothing but a pet to him…" I know… but she made it very clear with words that it hurts me so… I know I'm just a pet… she didn't have to emphasize that… I want to cry… but not in front of her…
"Whatever you do… is none of my concern, but being able to stay here under the reason that you have to be under me… is very low for such a high purpose, if I say so myself, Umi-sama…" I said with a bright smile on my face…
"I knew it!" She said happily… I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me…
"You're in love with him, aren't you?!" now she was smiling, while holding both of my hands with hers, as in S-M-I-L-I-N-G! I'm confused with this woman…
"What do you mean?" I turned away, trying to hide my flushed cheeks…
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Rin-sama! I'll help you!" Now, she's giggling?!
"Umi-sama-"
"Please, just Umi-chan or Umi would be fine, Rin-sama…" She said so herself…
"Then, just call me Rin…" I said smiling…
"But I want to call you Rin-chan!" She pouted, WOW! She's so cute!
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute! What was that all about a while ago?" I demanded…
"Oh, a silly test I conducted…" She laughed a little; I really didn't know this woman after all…
"For?" I raised a brow…
"If the rumors were actually facts… that a powerful Demon-Lord fell in love with his ward, not just that, a human too! I was actually thrilled with the idea, you know… so I decided to know for myself… because I really had a crush on Sesshomaru for quite some time now…" Her voice drifted off… and smiled at me…
'Wow, she's really beautiful… I wish I could be like her… who knows, maybe she can seduce Sesshomaru-sama?' Oh no! I'm starting to feel fresh tears coming out of my eyes…
I saw Umi laughed… has she gone crazy?
"No… not- haha!- not actually crazy… but-hahaha! I just wanted to see your reaction, Rin-chan!" She said in between her laughs.
"Don't tell me-"
"YEP! I can read minds!" Then she smiled again…
"Can you also-"
"Nope, I can't read Sesshomaru's mind…" She said before I can even say anything… She's being so familiar with Sesshomaru…
"We were childhood friends…" she replied… Oh, so that's why…
"But I hate being around him, so quiet! He's boring…" she laughed, this girl is one happy person…
We've been talking for hours, that we didn't notice it was already nighttime! We're in the balcony this time around…
"Is that so?" I asked cheerfully… I've always been interested in things concerning Sesshomaru-sama…
"Yeah… say, Rin-chan why are you in love with him?" She asked me…
"I… I don't know… well, maybe he's my guardian, protector… he stood as my family most of my life… he makes sure I meet my needs… well, he gives me more than I deserved… I have always admired him since the day he gave me my life back, the only difference was he gave me the chance to make it brighter… until.. I realized that he was the one making it brighter… whatever life I have with him was enough as long as he's there…" I teary-eyed said… my voice was shaking…
"Rin-chan… don't worry… I'm really about what I said earlier ok? I was really stupid, not having to actually thought you were serious…" Umi-chan took me in a warm embrace…
Is this what it feels like to have a sister? Maybe… but, Umi-chan was more than that… she made me express my feelings so openly… I feel so comfortable around her despite the fact she could easily eat me up at any minute… but I trust her…
Sesshomaru's POV
'Impossible… for this feeling… no- word itself is foreign to me…' I shut my eyes closed and thought really hard, and then opened them again…
I smell fresh salt water… they're hers… tears?
I stood up from the furniture I was sitting down on and looked out the window, seeing the cat with my Rin… wait… mine? Yes, she's mine… no one is worthy of my Rin… I will never give her to anyone… never let alone dare touch what's mine… but... why is the cat holding her? Why is she crying?
The cat looked at my direction...
'You still don't know, do you? Sesshomaru, you IDIOT! I hate you more now for making a young beautiful maiden cry!' the wench scolded me in my head!
This wench is becoming crazier than I thought…
Rin… the sight of her crying, the smell of salt water mixing with her nature's scent is just… different…
My heart, if I have one, feels… longing? Eager to pull her out of that cat's hands into my arms… Am I… going crazy? Crazy… for Rin?
Madness… Impossible.
