Chapter Four!
Birds were chirping outside the window, as a young woman sat quietly listening. "I want to be like a bird…they can fly away from home…and live free" she said quietly as the birds flew away from the tree as the approaching cat climbed it.
"Princess! You must not tally! You're going to be late!" cried her maid Kikyou, "alright…alright" sighed the Princess standing up following Kikyou down the hall to the meeting hall, where many Leaders, Prince's, Princess's, Commanders, etc; were talking.
Walking into the room, she saw many familiar faces, looking around she spotted one man she didn't know. He had long silver hair that went to his bottom, pointed elfin ears, piercing golden eyes and markings on his face. He was talking with another man before staring at her as if he knew she was staring at him. She blushed looking away quickly while walking away; she spotted her mother, Lady Lily. Walking over, her mother greeted her, "Ah! Rin! Good to see you!" she greeted hugging her daughter tightly, "mama, who's that man?" Rin asked pointing to the silver haired man.
"Oh! That's Commander Sesshomaru, an amazing lad, at the age twenty-one you wouldn't even think he is a Commander!" laughed her mother, "he seems…demon-like" stated Rin as she watched Commander Sesshomaru look towards them causing her to blush once more. Her mother waved to him as he nodded in their direction as a greeting, "that's because he's full-demon, Rin" teased her mother talking back to her friends.
Rin looked at her mother shocked, glancing back at him fascinated. "Come Rin! We're sitting now!" whispered her mother guiding her towards the table, sitting down; she looked up to meet those same golden eyes. 'He's sitting across from me!' she thought blushing lightly turning away, looking at her father, Lord Victor.
She noticed that he was talking with Commander Sesshomaru! They were deep into conversation but still she caught Sesshomaru's eyes a couple of times. As they ate discussing, her mother suddenly turned to Sesshomaru "Commander Sesshomaru?" he looked at her, letting her know he was listening "My daughter Rin here, is one of the most adoring woman who love the sea" she said as Rin blushed madly red.
Rin was going to say something when he spoke "That's a wonderful thing Miss Rin." She looked at him confused as her parents talked to each other and others "What do you mean Commander Sesshomaru?" she asked as they got into their own conversation. "Sesshomaru, just call me Sesshomaru" she blushed as he smirked, "Com-Sesshomaru, what did you mean by it's a wonderful thing?" she asked as he smiled looking out the window nearby, "not many people think the sea is wonderful, Miss Rin, some like the view from land but not from the sea itself, they think it's a dangerous place with pirates and all" he said as she looked at him curiously "I don't mind the pirate's even though I've never seen them, I find them as lost souls looking for a place in the world" she replied as he smiled amused.
Sesshomaru whispered so lightly that Rin had to strain to hear him. "I know a couple of pirates if you would like to meet them" Rin gasp silently, eyes shimmering with excitement "that would be wonderful!" she said in the same low tone "but what about your family? Are you sure they would accept the fact that their 'adoring' daughter is wanting to see pirates?" he asked confusing the hell out of her. She sat there quietly thinking over her options, but she already knew she was going to go with him. People probably think her life is peaches and cream, but here's the deal, it wasn't. Her mother might act all sweet and gentle, but she wasn't, she was short-tempered and greedy, her father was the same but more violent.
Even her maid Kikyou, whom her parents owned for many years even, treated her badly. Right now she was hiding the pain of her latest wound her father gave her for being a couple of minutes late to dinner once. She glanced up at Sesshomaru, as he waited for her answer; she then noticed he was not looking straight at her, but where her wound was, even though it was cover by her dress. She lowered her head to not meet his gaze as she spoke lightly but quiet "I would love 'die' to go with you."
Sesshomaru knew he smelt a wound on her, but who would hurt her; he knew it wasn't a self-a-flicked wound. The only scents he could besides hers on her were her mother and father, he would need to get closer to the would to know who hurt her. She spoke so quietly it amazed him "I would love to go with you", he saw her shiver fearfully when her mothers arm rubbed against her.
Deciding he would take her with him, even though he was wondering what the outcome was to come as. Looking at her reassuring, he turned to Lord Victor "Sir, would it be alright if Miss Rin accompany me in my new trip?" Lord Victor looked silently startled "why would you want her to accompany you?" he asked as he secretly glared at Rin, but it didn't go by unnoticed by Sesshomaru. "As your wife has said she adores the sea, what greater experience then this?" Sesshomaru wasn't about to give up the fighter and apparently neither was Lord Victor.
Turning to Rin, Lord Victor said to her in a fake sweet voice "My dear do you want to go?" Rin knew he was saying 'say yes you get punished, say no you still get punished' looking at Sesshomaru. She grew new hope, turning to her father "yes I very much like to go" Lord Victor and Lady Lily both looked stunned. "Then it's settled, Miss Rin, I will come for you later this evening for we leave by mid-night" replied Sesshomaru as he gave a secretive wink towards Rin.
Rin couldn't believe it! She was leaving this unforgivable place! Even though it was for a short time, still she could be free! Packing her things into her small leather bag. She stopped all of a sudden, 'I'm going on a ship with a man I just met and know nothing of' she thought but then heard heavy footsteps and the sound of her father's voice. 'Now I remember why, I want to get away from them' she thought as her father burst through her door. "You little WHORE!" he yelled slapping her across the room; she grasped her cheek as it stung painfully.
He was coming closer to her when there was a knock on the door, "My Lady, Commander Sesshomaru is here for you." Lord Victor snarled angrily before grabbing her arm roughly putting pressure on her old wounds, "act like you fell" he snarled at her. Rin quickly grabbed her bag as her father opened door "Hello Commander Sesshomaru!" Lord Victor greeted with another one of his fake smiles. "Good evening Lord Victor" replied Sesshomaru, who to someone who knew his emotions would say he was pissed.
Rin quickly walked pass her father "Good-bye father," her father kept up his fake smile as they left sight. Walking away from that awful house, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air, "why didn't you tell anybody?" she nearly fell over from the blunt question. "what are you talking about?" she asked her voice shaking silently, suddenly he was in front of her gently touching her swollen cheek "Feh 'act like you fell' he said, yeah right that's not from a fall it's from a hand" he replied.
She bowed her head in shame, she should of known he could hear what was going on in there. Not wanting to talk about it, she changed the subject "Where are we going?" she asked. He sighed 'stubborn isn't she?' her thought "You're going to tell me sooner of later Miss Rin, about why you don't tell anybody" he stated as she nodded. Deciding to answer her question "we're going to the island of Death." Rin looked at him in minor terror "why there?" she asked as they approached an enormous black ship, unlike the other Commanders, she knew at once, he was a Commander but also something else…
