What Reason
Chapter 3. The memories and the stranger
Rin awoken up at dawn, she hoped that meeting Lord Sesshomaru, the kiss, and Jaken was a dream. And she also hoped that she didn't wear that expensive kimono she hated, Rin look down at her clothes and saw that she was wearing that kimono. Rin started taking off when she realized that her obi was missing.
"I popularly forgotten it at the clearing I'll go and get it once I get ready." She said undressing the kimono and putting on her warrior clothes. The there was a knock on the door.
"Lady Rin?" Rin recognized the voice which turns out to be her friend Ju, who was standing at her door waiting for her answered" Are you in there?"
"Hai, Ju I'm here." Rin replied then turn to look at her friend, which she was standing on the doorway.
"Rin are you all right? You look horrible" Ju come in to the house showing concern for her friend.
"Hai, I'm fine." Throwing a fake yawn. "I'm just tired that's all"
" Oh well, I was wondering if you can watch my ova for a little while I was going to the springs for a quick bath. But it looks like you need rest after last night's events huh? I'll ask someone else. I'm sorry for asking you"
"No, no. I'd loved to watch your baby. I was thinking about going to the springs as well but you can go first."
"That's great but I don't want my child to be a burden to you."
"No, Just give me the child to watch. And make sure that no one sneaks off again. Like that fiancée of yours." Then they both started laughing remembering the time when they both busted the lurker hiding in the bushes.
"Ok I'll go get my child then I'll be right back." Ju left the hut to be back within five seconds carrying a sleeping child of 2. Rin pointed towards the bundle of blankets that lay on the ground, Ju slowly walked over to it and laid her daughter on the blankets.
" Ok, I won't be long," Her friend said looking at her daughter then left for the springs. Rin meanwhile watch as her friend left the village in to the forest, but before going back in she saw her friend's fiancée walk after her, Rin chucked and when back in to her home. She glanced at the sleeping child, she look a lot like her mother brown hair, soft pink lips, rosy cheeks, maybe her eyes but can't tell cause there close. Ju was a slender lady, with light brown hair, pink lips, green eyes, pinkish lips, and was very caring. Her father was a tall, black hair, brown eyes, leveled cheekbones, he was very handsome but only one captured his heart. Ju did not like him at all, sometimes he would stalker until the day was over, he would ask if she would go to the springs then he would earn a slap! Then at the same time Ju was falling in to his spell, she would talk about him non- stop, and every time Rin would tell her to be quiet and marry the guy, Ju would turn red all of sudden then talk about him more. But after that day when Rin and Ju went to the springs, they busted him lurking in the bushes, Rin went ahead of them while Ju was beating him up right there. Ju did not come back until nights fall. Rin had bursted with laughter when she found out what they had done, then nine months later Ju given birth to Eva. He did not know because he was sent off to war, then came back when she was in labor in the woods.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaa" Eva broken Rin out of her thoughts to hear her crying, Rin rush over and put ova in to her arms then rock her back and forth. "Mommy?" She whispered and fell back to sleep. Rin look down at the child who called her mom. She was never in her lifetime been called that, for once she felt this warm feeling inside of her, what was it? Rin pulled Ova closer to her making an embrace. It was hours later when Ju came back and that was when she saw Rin leaning against the wall asleep with little Ova in her arms.
"Well I can see that some one is having a nice cozy nap" She said chucking Rin opened her eyes then chuckled as well.
"An I could see that some one a nice bath." It was true Ju had bruise's on her neck, and then Ju tried to hide them from being exposed.
"Um well yeah, so how were ova?" Sitting next Rin on the mat.
"She was not a burden at all but she slept very well." Rin replied.
"Well I guess it's your turn to take a bath in the springs." Ju her arms out in the open to take hold of the child that Rin was holding in her arms, Rin gracefully handed the child over to her friend and they bow together then went their separate ways. Rin gather her stuff then headed off in the direction of the springs, it was a good mile way but Rin would get there within a few minutes cause she would always run to it. Rin loves to run responsibly when she was younger; Rin was a very energetic woman. Once at the springs she made sure that no one was nowhere at a 200 yard range, Rin strip her outfit to her nude body then step in to the springs and sat down. It was very relax moment, she washed her hair and body by using something that Kagome called shampoo and Rin already know what soap was. When she was done Rin just sat back and started thinking. Then her mind wondered off to those nice men whom she had rejected in the past by saying that her heart belongs to another, and then her thoughts went to Sesshomaru about last night and the past. Then her childhood memory, it was the time when she first met Sesshomaru.
FLASHBACK
After hearing some noise from outside of a little broken hut, had woken up a little girl up. A little girl that was homeless, living in a cruel and harsh village. The villagers tell her that she is a burden to them, and that's why she was living by herself. Rin could barley manage on her own she has to find food on her own, and a torn kimono that only given her little warmth. Rin had no friends at all cause families told there children to stay away from her, so how they learned from their parents the also treated her cruelty everyday and some kids would throw stones at her for fun. Nobody had cared for this little girl, but they had all agreed to take her in, but she had to find supplies for her self only and later on became a mute.
Rin ventures out on her own, well nobody cared anyway. Sometimes she would campout in the woods just to be away from the village, then one night she was gazing up at the stars and wondered how the something could be so peaceful in a cruel world she just ate some fish that she had stolen and cook, hopeful nobody saw her. Then she fell asleep unknowing that something was coming from the sky, and then landed a few feet away from her.
She woke up to a very bright morning; she sat up stretching and rubbing her eyes until fully awake. Then froze when she heard something growled behind her, she slowly turn around to see a person lying there, he was awake also, then she figure out that he was a demon cause of his red eyes staring back at her. Rin didn't move at all then watch as his eyes slowly turned in to an amber color. Then she observed his clothing he had a white kimono with a red flower pattern on his left shoulder and his sleeves, his armor was destroyed, he had a yellow slash around his waist with 2 swords tie to it. Then something furry over his right shoulder and back, and very long silver white hair. Then come to realize that he was wounded, she know little about injury. Rin gazed upon his face he had a crescent moon on his for head and 2 strips on each of his cheeks. She was amazed of his features, and then he spoke to her.
"Who are you girl?" Rin jumped at the some of his deep voice.
Silence.
"Where am I?" It asked. More silence.
" Can you speak at all?" Rin slowly look at him with a sad expression then shook her head. Then he stops talking for a while, there was silence, and then Rin stood up and went to get her stack of food that she hid in a tree. She dropped on the ground and drop right after. She then got a left and took out some cook fish then took it to the stranger and laid it next to him. He look at it, then turn away from her offering, then she got a flask of water and put it right next to him, then again he rejected.
"Mind your own business, girl. I don't eat human food." It said, Rin slowly got up and started walking back to the village to get more food for the wounded stranger, she couldn't let him die, she doesn't want to see anyone else die. Rin got to her hut after running away from a group of rock throwers. One cutting her cheek, there she waited until nightfall where she would journey out to get some fish fro the water. Once everyone retired Rin snuck out to the water where the fish was caught by a net. Rin grabbed the bottom of her kimono and tucked in to her kimono so it won't get wet. For a while she caught none, but by the time when she caught a fish, the village men had appeared.
"Rin you little shit" One of them said as he went in and grab her out of the water, then throw her hard on the ground. Then all over her body she could feel the pain from every punch and kick. She held in her scream from it, then finally they stopped, then she was lifted by her kimono's collar, they given her one last warning with a slap and drop her on the ground, then they walk away from her muttering of how strange she was. After awhile she slowly got up then walked back to her hut. Then she remembered that her bag was left with the stranger, but she can get it tomorrow. Rin woke up very sore all over her body, but that didn't stop her from seeing the stranger in the forest, so she got up from the floor and started walking out the village, the felt a rock against her arm right where an purple bruise was at she turn around to see her old friend standing there with a grin on her face, her father was the one who slapped her in the face. Rin turn around and continued to the walk in the forest, on her way there she was able to grab some wheat to give away. Within minutes Rin found the stranger who was lying there resting with his eyes close. She slowly tries to creep to him so he wouldn't wake up.
"I'm a demon, I could hear you coming," He said opening his eyes, then cast a look of concern. Rin stood there unable to say any thing to him, but she continued to walk towards him with the wheat in her hand. "No thanks, I don't need anything from you" Rin sat next to him, she as expecting him to push or tell her to go away from him, but he didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, she was about to get up and go away, when he spoken.
"Where did you get those bruises?" He asked, that stung her, that was the first time that someone ever had shown concern for her, since her family died. Rin look at him very surprised. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." He said then he look down at her. Right there and then Rin was happy just thinking about her past how much people was harsh and cruel to her, Rin smiled at him. To him it was the first time that anyone had smiled at him like that he can't help it but feel stunned. " Why are you smiling?" Rin look at him with a smile on her face.
"I smile cause no one likes me, they are always hitting me since I was 5. I'm seven years old now." Rin was amazed that her tiny voice came out all of a sudden; it was kinda of shaky cause of her lack of using it. The stranger looks down at her in no expression at all.
"What about your parents? Do they like you?"
"No Mommy, Daddy and brother loves me, but they were kill and I was only one that survived. Then I was left here with very mean people."
"How did you get those bruises" Rin got quiet for a second then she replied.
"Um I was trying to get some fish when everyone was sleeping, and once I got one that's when the village men came and saw me" She said wiping tears away." Then they beated me." There was silence between them.
"Why where you asleep out here?"
"It helps me to get away from them for a little while, sometimes I stay the night out here, cause it's so peaceful."
"What is your name?"
"My names Rin and what's yours?"
"Sesshomaru?" Then Rin smiled again. They stay in silence again for a while. Rin could feel herself falling asleep so she lay on the grass right next him her new friend and closed her eyes.
Sesshomaru didn't know what to think, but he wasn't expecting her to tell him what had happened between her and the unknown village. And what happen to her last night. He guesses that she was tired cause she fell asleep next to him. He then saw that she was beaten all over her body but her face was worst scratch up, and her left eye was shut making it purple. How can a young mortal girl survive a beating like that? He saw that the sun was upon her body so with out thinking or even attempt to pull it off. He kneels next to her body but slowly (cause remember he's injured) and lays her on his fur, and then she snuggles closer to him. He stared down at Rin and wonder why she had helped him only what she can.
Rin slept for a few hours before she woken, Rin hoped that all this time she had been dreaming, her parents death, Sesshomaru, the beating, her talking again it was too much for a few days but for her it was only a dream. I don't want to get up either this bedding is so soft, and furry maybe it's mothers fox that she keeps on the floor. Rin opened her eyes and look around to see that she was still in the same area and it was almost dark,
"So your finally awake." The voice had spoken in to the even air. Rin turn to her side to see Sesshomaru lying right next to her.
"Um how long was I sleeping?" Yawn Rin.
" It seems that you didn't get enough sleep last night and slept through out the day. Rin, tomorrow I'll be leaving and I ask you to not come here for me." Sesshomaru said, Rin look up at him in here sad and lonely expression but she understood of what he means.
"Ok, but will I ever see you again?" She asked hopefully to him, Sesshomaru look down at her he didn't know what to say.
"I do not know, but for now I want you to sleep, when you wake up you'll be alone." Rin didn't know what else to do, she thought she found her angel that was sent to her from maybe from her family and fellow villagers. But she followed his orders and lays back down on the fur, she look up at her friend one last time before he left her. In the morning Rin woken up to a beautiful image of dawn, she look beside her to see Sesshomaru gone, just like he told her. Rin could feel the loneliness and sadness that again was with her. Tears once again where coming down her brown eyes after feeling that bitterness and after awhile she stood up so she could head back to the tormented village. But before leaving she spotted something on the ground, Rin look closely and there was her sack of food. Rin went to it, it was still the same and when Rin pick it up it was heavy. Curious Rin look inside of it, and her eyes widen, in the bag was fruit: Apples, berries and there was also a lot of fish, then there was something in the bottom of the bag. Rin reached for it and pull it out. It was a wolf's hided it was big enough for her some he won't be cold. Rin was very happy at least she knows that all demons weren't that dangerous or mean. Rin tide her new fur on her shoulders and carried her sack of food then headed home, well not really a home. By the time Rin got there it seems like everyone was having a pleasant morning to them anyway, Rin continue to walk to her little hut, but by them time she got there, there was a stranger and a very ragged one too. His clothes weren't fancy as Sesshomaru's and had a scar one his eyes. He was eating her private stores when he notices her standing there.
"What do you want girl?" His voice was harsher. " Dose this old hut belongs to you?" Rin nodded then heard something outside, so she went to check out then in the distance there was a cloud of dust coming towards the village, then the howls of wolf's came alive. There was screams all over the village, the man ran out of the hut when he was attack by the wolfs. Rin quickly ran in and grabbed her sack of food and ran out of the hut just in time to see the man get slashed by another man. Rin ran for her life, it wasn't long before she heard growling behind she turn around to see 4 hungry wolf chasing after her. Rin ran and ran she couldn't stop unless somebody came and rescued her, then the image of Sesshomaru came, she was so distracted that she didn't notices that there was a root sticking out of the ground, and with that she tripped over it. The next thing she felt was the biting and the scratching, she didn't scream or show any sign of weakness, she closed her eyes in pain, knowing that death was coming for her. She felt her heart stop for a minute and then started beating again.
"Was I dead?" She whispered to herself or other wise someone.
" It seems like it," said a familiar voice. Rin opened her eyes to see a pair of eyes staring down at her.
"My lord, she came back to life." Said an unfamiliar squeaky voice that she gazed upon the little toad and then started giggling at him.
"What are you laughing at?" The toad asked.
"You" she answered then saw that the toad look offended.
"Well, at least a thank you to Lord Sesshomaru for bringing you back to life." He said Rin look up at Sesshomaru and smiled for her thank you.
END OF FLASHBACK
Rin though about it while she was getting dress, well what can she say, Jaken look funny when Lord Sesshomaru had saved her. She couldn't hold back her laugh, on her way back to the village. An hour later Rin was still beaming and walking about her past when she got a weird feeling, so she look ahead towards the village and saw that there was a huddle of villagers surrounding something. So when she came to view, the first person that saw was Ju.
"RIN, GET OVER HERE," The panic in her voice had sent Rin in to a breaking run. She got there within seconds, then saw that they were surrounding a man, he didn't look well, his clothes were torn, his face was scar up, his body was wounded, his hair was tangle and was loose, he look like the need for water.
"Someone help me take this man to my hut, quickly." Then several men went and carried him to her house there she made a place for him to lie. He was lay carefully on to his mat spread, and Rin quickly grabbed herbs that will help him heal his wounds. While she was attending his wounds she was calculating of how much time that he'd live. " Man where you came from you had a good chance to get away from what ever given you these injures."
"These wounds are from-m a b-beast that's tormenting my village and other's as well." He managed to say." Please Lady Rin, who must help them and o-other villages may be at stake, we ha asked help from Inuyasha as well, but we can't find him."
"Yes I will help them but tell me where can I find your village home" she asked.
"I live right in the lands to the south right after this forest, then about a mile after that."
"Ok I'll help them, I promise you"
"Thank you, my lady" Then the man had stop breathing. Rin felt sad that the man had past on unable to say goodbye. She walks out to seek out the village elders to have a talk. She told them the plans of what she has to do, and then told them that she'll be gone for a week. Rin told the men to be armed at all times and take turns to keep watch in the night. Then asked to help bury the man who had come to seek help. They said there prayers to him and Rin, then Rin told him that she'll fulfilled the mans promise.
In the morning Rin got up early to begin her journey packing her some food and some of her treasured weapons just in case. Once outside the village people just like Hana greeted Rin. They bid her farewell and their hopes of coming back. But before she could turn around and walk away something grabbed her knees keeping her from going father.
"Please Lady Rin, don't go," The tiny voice cried to her, Rin smiled and kneel down to the girl and putted her in to an embrace. "I'm afraid that you won't come back at all."
"What is your name?"
"Cherry- blossom"
"Well. Dear one I promise to come back no matter what. Ok" cherry blossoms nodded and broken there embrace then left to her parents. Rin look at the village one more time and started walking away from them, before disappearing Rin turn around and waved one last goodbye to them which they gladly replied. Then she turn away and started to disappeared into the forest. And that was the last time that Rin ever saw them alive.
