Chapter 7- And They Entered the Perfect Picture… A Peek from the Past
Sesshomaru's POV
For the first time in my entire life, I slept peacefully, I truly slept… I awoke finding my mate still asleep…
'Beautiful' she, in whatever things she do, always so beautiful… so simple yet elegant but also care-free… a unique woman… a Goddess… My Koi…
She groaned… I combed her ever-smooth and silky hair with my free hand… my other hand is occupied embracing her… her delicate, petite body pushed against mine…
She giggled… I knew she wasn't asleep…
"Ohayou, Koi" She greeted me… eyes still closed…
"Hn"… she fell asleep again in a matter of minutes…
*Tok* *TOK*
Who is at our door this early in the morning… I irritatingly slipped my hands off of my mate… and wore my lower garments only…
'Takehiro…'
I opened the door…
"Sesshomaru-sama" he greeted and bowed… as if he respects me… I will dispose of this snake soon…
"I would like to congratulate you on your wedding…" As he said that and looked into my eyes, his eyes showed blood-red anger…
"We shall settle this outside, Takehiro, I accept your challenge." I firmly said…
Umi came; as if she knew what was needed to be done…
"I'll watch over her, Sesshomaru" She said…
I nodded in agreement and proceeded to wear my armor… I will defend my mate… yes, I have marked her, but when someone challenges me for her, I will show them that I am the only one worthy for her and I alone…
"Anata, please be careful…" She's awake…
"It's because I dreamt of you fighting…" She said, concern found in her entire being… she knows I will win, 'but when loving someone, worry, longing, and protecting are feelings one cannot erase' is what she's thinking…
I came closer to her and pulled her into an embrace and put my lips to her head for reassurance…
"I will be careful, Koi" I assured her and smiled at her…
I broke our embrace and nodded to Umi, she did the same…
I took one, last glance at her… something is wrong… it feels so wrong to leave her, but I've made the decision to stay her out of sight for fear Takehiro will use that advantage to distract me…
'Please stay safe for me, My Koi…'
Rin's POV
'Please stay safe for me, My Koi' I heard him say it in my head… w-we can telepathically communicate? T-Then I can read his thoughts?
'Yes… you can… and Umi can't get in it anymore since we share the same power to put a barrier from her powers' Oh… so Umi can't read my mind anymore…
Wait a second, something's not right, Umi haven't said a thing since earlier…
"Umi-chan, I hate you" I smiled brightly at her, but she made a disgusted look... no…
"I knew you humans are fools!" Her voice changed! She's not Umi-chan!
'KOI!' Sesshomaru? I'm getting scared…
"You humans are so pathetic and weak… I really don't understand why Umi-sama would lower herself for a human like you, ahh, yes… because she is a half-breed! Her human self causes this to her!" Ruka said while pulling out a katana… a- a half breed? Umi's a half-breed?
"W-What have you done to Umi?!" I demanded… I might be afraid, but I know Sesshomaru-sama will protect me; he will come for me…
"Oh? I took her out... I pretended I was you and before she realized it was me, I put her to a long, long rest… Do you know why she wasn't able to sense it was me? ALL BECAUSE SHE LOWERED HER GUARD DOWN FOR YOU! I hate seeing a weak master and so I decided to kill you, since Sesshomaru-sama has marked you already… By now, Takehiro might've killed your husband, human…" she said as she held her katana upwards ready to kill me with one swing…
"I might as well kill you…" She said before slashing the sword at me…
Everything went dark…
Sesshomaru's POV
No games, no jokes!
I killed the Hebi.
Rin.
She… I can't feel her anymore… she's endanger!
OUR MATE IS ENDANGERED!
'KOIIIIII!'
No… Am I too late?!
She… She's c-covered I blood… why am I in a state of shock… my heart it's shattering… I held out Tenseiga and pointed it at her… 'Tenseiga cannot bring the dead back twice, Sesshomaru' mother said… Is this the price to pay?
I cuddled her cold body… her lifeless body… I nuzzled my head in her neck, thinking childishly it will bring her back… my face… its wet…. Salt water… tears? I don't care… Can tears bring back Rin?!
Can it?! CAN IT BRING BACK OUR MATE?!
The thunder clasped!
I howled like a lone-wolf… I whimpered for the first time in my life, I feel mad… uncontrolled madness…
Anger at myself for not protecting my mate… I let her slip away from me for the second time… Fate is so cruel… it gave me the chance to feel, it gave me Rin… but it took her away at the moment I needed her most…
Suddenly out of the blue, light emitted from Rin… I embraced her closer to me… not wanting to let her go…
I closed my eyes, praying to whatever Gods will hear to bring her back… I will give up anything, everything for her! Just bring her back!
Umi's POV
"Rin…" I called out to her… I am not dead… I just finished killing… yes… I killed them… Rikka and Ruka… I did not want it to happen… my demon sensed I was endangered… it acted on its own accord… out of my control… they killed Rin, I killed them because they killed my sister! I owe my life to her!
"Rin..."
*~Flashback~*
"Mama? Where are you going? Don't LEAVE UMI! PLEAAASSSE!" I understand the rule… the law… but… she left me… she left me to die… my mother, my flesh-in-blood hated me…
"Are you okay?" then an angel with no wings approached me, she had the most innocent and lovely eyes I've seen… she's the most beautiful woman I have come across with…
"You are Umi, aren't you?" She said in her feminine voice… and smiled her sweet smile…
"H=Hai!" I was a kitten back then… but, she took me in, treated me like her own daughter…
But… the tragedy happened… I was sixteen in human years then, and she hasn't changed a bit… Rina hasn't changed… that fateful day happened…
"Umi… I want you to promise me something…" She said weakly… she was lying in bed for almost a week… we lived in a house far from the human village she was coming from… all because of me…
"Anything, Kaa-san" She insisted on letting me calling her 'mother'… I was holding her hand helping her ease the pain…
"The baby I am about to bore will become a priestess when she turns nineteen… a- a full-blooded demon will live in her… and she shall be married to a powerful demon lord wherein she will be loved and protected… before all of this, she will come across a traumatic experience…. But… I want you to take care of her… Umi, I am entrusting to you the child of the man I love… Please… tell Rin, my daughter-to-be… I love her with all my heart…" She's crying now, we're both crying…
"I-I will, Kaa-san"
"Be strong for me, Umi" were her last words and the crying of a baby girl was heard… I carried the girl still covered in blood…
"Rin, I promise to be strong for the both of us…" I said to her, crying… I promise…
But… I was taken away… by my own tribe… they needed a queen… because my mother died… they were going to kill Rin if I don't go with them… and what I did next was what I regretted the most…
I brought the 3-yrs-old Rin to the human village Rina-kaa-san once lived…
"If anyone dare try to hurt the child of Rina the powerful priestess… I will assure you, I will come back to kill you…" I declared… I heard whispers…
"She looks dangerous…"
"The child looks very similarly to Rina-sama…"
"Who does she think she is?"
I left Rin with a crumpled heart to a kind older woman… not knowing what would happen to her… Rin smiled and waved at me…
I came back to the village 6 years later, finding the people have forgotten my words… I killed every last human that had Rin's despaired scent on them… it was strong so it was not so hidden from my low sense of smell… I found out that one of the villagers killed the older woman I left Rin… I was going to kill them all…
"Umi-sama! The child was spotted traveling Sesshomaru-sama, the son of InuTaisho…" My loyal servant and messenger, Koichiryu reported to me…
"Sesshomaru..?" I was somehow relieved to hear the report that my sister is with my trusted childhood friend…
"Let's go home, Koichi…" I smiled at him…
"Hai, Umi-sama" He smiled back…
*~Flashback End~*
And after that… I heard she was about to marry the Lord she was traveling with before… I was ecstatic! But… also, nervous… because I knew her all along… and she not knows even I existed… a sister always watching from afar…
Now, I heard Sesshomaru's howl… a tear escaped from my eye… and more followed after…
'Kaa-san… Rin… I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise…' Suddenly, a light filled the whole castle… despite the thunder clasps… I could still hear Rin's voice…
