Chapter 9- A Not-so Perfect Picture Anymore
Rin's POV
"And so Inuyasha just cried out of happiness when Kagoi was born… hehehe…" Kagome was talking to us… they visited us… with their first newborn daughter! She's so cuuttee!
"Who's the cutie baby? Who's the cutie baby?" Umi-chan is playing with Kagoi…
"Those two are taking so long…" Kagome complained… we're sitting in the gardens near the hotsprings built for the boh of us… when… w-well… having our m-moments…
'You look so cute when embarrassed, koi…' he teased me… and even chuckled! I'm getting redder and redder…
"Rin-chan? Why are you blushing?" Sango-sama asked me…
"N-Nothing to worry about, Sango-sama" I denied…
"Oho ho! What did Sesshomaru say to you again, Rin-chan?" Umi asked teasingly… she couldn't read my mind… but she knows…
"Eh?! How? Sesshomaru and Inuyasha aren't here?" Kagome exclaimed… d-didn't she know? Can't they do it?
"U-Uhmm… well, you see… guys, please keep it a secret…" I told them…
'Koi' Sesshomaru said in my head in a warning tone…
'Just them, Anata, please?'
'Fine'
I giggled…
"WHAT ARE YOU GIGGLING ABOUT?" Sango-sama and Kagome-sama asked in unison…
"E-Eh…" How am I going to say it…?
"W-Well… S-Sesshomaru-sama and I c-can communicate telepathically…" My voice drifted… so, I was expecting the 'REALLY?! WOW! YOU CAN DO THAT?! AWESOME!' 'HOW DO YOU DO THAT, RIN-CHAN?!'- REACTION… but I thought wrong…
"Oh? Is that so, Rin-chan, congratulations" Kagome-sama calmly said and sipped her tea…
"I guess you would need to for someone like Sesshomaru…" Sango-sama added and sat straight up…
They both looked disappointed and sighed… Miroku-sama isn't with us because he stayed back in their village to watch their adorable 6 little cuties…
'We will have more than theirs and more adorable and cute' Sesshomaru said… W-What is he saying? He's making me blush! I bet I look like a-
"TOMATO! Rin's a tomato!" Umi-chan teased and laughed at me! I pouted…
"Eh?! Rin-chan! What did Sesshomaru-nii say to you?" Kagome-sama asked with sparkles in her eyes…
"Come on, Rin-chan! Say it! Tell us! Tell us!" Sango-sama added and they teamed up…
"Umi-chan! Tasukete! I pleaded but, Umi-chan gave me a sly and playful smile!
"Rin-chan, I'm sorry, but I can't leave Kagoi here…" She playfully said…
"All right, all right!" I finally said and we huddled; to my surprise; Umi-chan entered and huddled in too!
After I said it, they all laughed so hard that tears started to come out of their eyes… I stared at them embarrassingly…
"D-Don't… haha!.. worry, Rin-chan… hahaha! W-We'll stop… HAHA!... laughing…" Kagome-sama said while wiping the tears of joy in her eyes… and so as Umi-chan and Sango-sama…
'AHEMM'
'GOMMENN! GOMMENN! GOMMENN! GOMENNSAAI!'
'Hn..'
'I'm sorry!'
'You will be punished…'
'Anataaaa,…'
'Tonight…'
'Eh?!'
'In bed….'
WAHHHH!
"Ahem" the monotone voice from behind us stopped the commotion going in my head…
"Keh!" Inuyasha-sama said when they got here…
I was walking towards Sesshomaru when I suddenly lost my balance; I was supposed to fall, but my protector was always saving me… he came to my rescue by holding me from behind…
I smiled at him… "Arigatou" I said to him…
"That was close… what happened, Rin-chan?" Kagome-sama asked worriedly…
"I-I don't know…" I honestly replied… I just suddenly lost balance… maybe I'm just tired…
"You will leave after lunch, Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said coldly to them…
"Keh! We could leave now!" Inuyasha-sama talked back and received a fist-punch from Kagome-sama…
"We are grateful for letting us visit, Nii-sama… we are leaving ahead of schedule for we still have plans for the afternoon… Rin-chan… We'll visit again sometime soon, ok?" Kagome-sama said formally
"Yeah, and make sure that when we return; we'll be able to play with your first-born!" Sango-sama teased…
"A-Ah… Sango-sama, Kagome-sama, Inuyasha-sama, Thank you for coming here… Please visit soon!" I bowed gratefully to them…
"Awww~ I'm so sadden, my dear… for we have to depart… my love for thou shall linger in both of our hearts, love... I will miss you, cutie, girly, KAGOII!" Umi-chan said dramatically…
And that was all I remembered before passing out… I woke up in the morning finding myself going to the bathroom… It has been 2 weeks since Kagome's visit… and this had became my routine every day since then… Waking up; going to puke… feeling lightheaded; even Sesshomaru's been acting strange… but he's not telling me… I can't read his mind either… I feel so weak… He makes sure I eat right… at the right time and the right food… and he always lets me rest…
It's been 3 months after the incident with Takehiro, Ruka and Rikka… and-
"UWWEEEEEHH!" Oh God… My stomach's been kicking my food out… always feeling nausea… I feel so groggy… I wiped my mouth… and looked at myself in the mirror… is it just me or did I get bigger?
"Koi…" Sesshomaru called out to me… I smiled at him… despite the changes; I loved the treatment…
"What is it, Anata?" I climbed to the bed and lay down on his bare chest…
"I'm proud of you…" He said with sparkling prideful look in his golden orbs… and kissed my forehead…
I smiled at him…
"Kouko, Aiko and Koukose" He said in his still-monotone voice…
"That will be their names…" he added…
"W-EH?!" I was shocked, surprised, happy… 'W-We're having triplets?!'
'Yes, and Koukose shall take my place someday…'
"Se-" he cut me off with his kiss… He chose to make me feel what he feels than say it…
Out of nowhere; a dark aura filled the entire room… no; the whole castle…
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS DISGRACE YOU BROUGHT ON OUR LANDS, SESSHOMARU!" a woman's voice filled the whole castle…
"Stay here" He said coldly, after completing his armor… He became a ball of light and floated out through the window; I stood at the window, watching… watching horridly at how the female-dog demon is overpowering Sesshomaru!
"RIN! Are you alright?" Umi-chan said worriedly as she arrived in our room…
"Umi-chan, please take me down there, I beg of you…" I desperately said to her… she hesitated for a moment, but nodded…
She carried me bridal style and jumped out of the window; landed us safely a few feet away from their battle until the witch noticed us…
"YOU! YOU'RE THE WITCH WHO MADE SESSHOMARU-SAMA WEAK!" the beautiful, dog-demon stared at me with daggers… So beautiful and yet so depressed… this woman, no, girl…
"YOU STOLE HIM FROM ME! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS MATE! HIS PARENTS ACCEPTED ME!" she screamed while crying… and continuing to shoot her beams at Sesshomaru…
"DON'T TALK LIKE HE WANTS YOU JUST AS YOU LIKE HIM, KEISOTSU!" Umi came forward to interfere…
"Keisotsu, I thought you were better than this… What happened to the Keisotsu we knew?! The one who said who'll do anything to make the one she loves happy?! Where is she?!" Umi knows her? Keisotsu?
"NO! HE'LL ONLY BE HAPPY WITH ME! JUST ME! YOU EVEN WANTED ME TO BE HIS BRIDE! HOW COULD YOU, UMI-CHAN?!" she fought back… All Umi could do was defense… she was no match…
"Keisotsu, open your eyes! You're willing to hurt everyone that you love for your own happiness? I don't know you… not anymore… Yes, I was on your side… until… I realized, Sesshomaru only-…. Only… pitied you… I'm sorry, Keisotsu…" Umi was caught off guard… Pity? Sesshomaru pitied?
"SORRY DOESN'T GIVE ME BACK THE MAN I LOVE!" She screamed and attacked Umi… I ran to Umi… no… this-
I- I cannot allow this… Why?...
"I WAS THE ONE DESTINED FOR HIM! THE ONLY ONE WHO OVERPOWERS HIM!" as she said those; Sesshomaru fell lifeless on the ground… what?! A minute ago, I was feeling pity for her, but now… I clenched my fist…
"IF I CAN'T HAVE SESSHOMARU; NEITHER WILL YOU, WITCH!" She said as she fired her powerful beam at me… no… NO! I- THE BABIES! OUR CHILDREN! NOOOOO!
Suddenly; a light barrier surrounded Umi and I…
"WHAT?!" Keisotsu was caught by surprise… I held her beams and reflected it back on her…
'I'm… g-glad… t-that… you're all o-okay… Koi…' Sesshomaru said weakly… no!
"R-Rin…" Umi said as she got up… "Arigatou…" she finished… Umi started running to Keisotsu's fallen form and I to Sesshomaru...
Sesshomaru… I can't hear him…
"Sesshomaru, can you hear me?" I placed his head on my lap… his cold… no…
'Rin…' Sesshomaru!
I cried… for a second there I thought-
Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open and hurried himself in front of me to defend us from- from what…
"By the power given to me by the gods
….. Woman he loves
Then and only then …." Keisotsu mumbled…
"WASUREJUMONKARENOAI!" before she beamed, she smiled with tears in her eyes…
'Rin, I love you' no… NO!
"SESSHOMARU!" and it left Sesshomaru, once again fallen… I saw Keisotsu disappeared like diamond dusts…
"Keisotsu…" I heard Umi-chan said sadly before getting up from being put in a paralysis spell…
"Sesshomaru!" I cried out to him… his- his eyes… they look exactly like the ones I first saw him…
"Se-Sesshomaru?" I reached my hand to touch him… but just like the time I was a child… he suddenly got up and growled at me… I can't reach his mind… I ran to his arms… but… why do I feel that something is wrong? He looks fine… without a scratch… until he pushed me away slowly…
"Who are you?" He said in his stoic voice… no… I looked up at his golden eyes… searching for the eyes that held the emotions I longed for… but all I saw was the same golden eyes that were filled with nothing but coldness… just like how it was when we first met…
"Sesshomaru, you idiot, what the heck are you talking about?" Umi said… yeah, he's joking right?
"Why are you here, cat?" he growled…
"I-It can't be…" Umi said worriedly…
"Sesshomaru, she's Rin, your wife, y-your mate, can't you remember?!" Umi-chan added… I'm still speechless… I really feel like crying…
"No" came the cold answer… my tears betrayed me and revealed themselves through me to Sesshomaru… He only stared… I know these tears won't help… but… it's too painful…
"Rin… Look what y-" I stopped Umi-chan from talking… it only hurts more if I hear…
Sesshomaru stood erectly…
"I don't need this" he said coldly and walked away from us…
Umi-chan stared in disbelief… she carried me to my own bedroom… I sobbed and sobbed… I- I can't believe it… How could he?!
I thought… everything was fine…
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Sesshomaru's POV)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
She ran into my arms and embrace… the stranger came into me like she knows me! A HUMAN TOUCHED DARE TOUCH THIS SESSHOMARU?... I would've killed her then and there… but, there was or were other lives in her…
The cat said she's my wife? How dare she?! She thinks I am as to lower myself for a human?
Hn…
She had my scent all over her body…
Why this human 'Rin' does calls me so familiarly?
I will have my answers…
Hn…
A human mate… what am I? A coward? Like my father?
Impossible.
