Chapter III
"Why don't you ever listen?" he questioned me as I sat in the darkest corner of the room
"They all think so low of me, even before what they just saw. Maybe I am a monster, nothing in my life has proven otherwise." I sniffed as a tear fell. I feel at my lowest always and somehow with him in my presence, I felt higher than eagle's eyebrows. He crossed the room and knelt in front of me
"You are a lot of things Nijah, a great warrior, a smart woman, a beautiful one at that" he smiled "and a thieving bitch" I gawk at him then fold my arms turning away. He grabbed my chin and pulled it towards his direction. "But a monster you are not" he then took my lips in his "Now do as I said and dress "
"Ok," I shrug shyly.
"Hurry there is someone I want you to meet slipping on my pants and top I fix my just fucked curls to the best of my ability when a knock startled me.
"Sesshomaru, it's me Kagame. Rin is here as well she is excited that you are here." As Kagame speaks, I hear a little girl giggle. He opens the door and a little girl about ten years old hugged his legs.
"Oh Lord Sesshomaru I missed you so much!" she exclaimed. He smiled slightly as he bent down and handed her a folded cloth. I never noticed till now. "Is this a new Kimono oh thank you, thank you thank you, Thank . . . . "She stopped as she looked at me "Who is that?" she approached me "are you Lord Sesshomaru's wife?" she asked curiously. I didn't know what to answer. I opened my mouth to answer
"She is my companion Rin" he interrupted me. Before I could stutter something stupid. I looked at him and he returned his gaze to Rin
"Hi, I am Rin." She ran to me and hugged me. I was surprised at the gesture. I hadn't felt a small one hug me since my brothers would run to me with glee. Hugging me and telling me how much they missed me and wondering what it was that I had brought them. I hugged her back.
"Hi Rin, what a pretty name. My name is Nijah. I introduce myself. Nice to meet you "she let go and smiled pulling me by my hand out of the shack
"Let me show you around!" she exclaimed. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Another time Rin we have things to do," he told her. I saw her smile disappear and was replaced with disappointment. My heart shattered. I looked at her
"Hey Rin, how about you show me what things you are good at and make me something then give it to me before bed tonight." Giving a specific time to avoid scarring the child for life. Her smile returned as she excitingly left the shack and scurried off to do something.
"Hey, um Nijah I wanted to apologize for Inuyasha. He really is, um . . ." she stammered
"Rude" I interrupt her snapping
"Yes," she said in a coy manner. "I apologize he can be really nice at times just doesn't know when to put a lid on it." She carried on explaining. I could care less, people are going to talk. Hell, they talked about Jesus.
"Its fine, I'm over it" she started to say something else; but I raised my hand before she could continue. "Walk with me Sesshomaru?" I asked walking out of the shack. He followed me as I walked towards the running steam. I looked back and saw her staring at me in a weird manner as if she recognized me or something about me. She looked truly perplexed. I decided not to care.
When we reached the stream, I began removing my sandals and stick my feet in. I sit at the bank; looking back I saw him a few feet away. He stood there watching me "Sit next to me please." I suggest and he approaches sitting a bit away from me with his back turned. "Why are you sitting like that?" I asked
"Because . . . "he responded before plopping his head in my lap. I took the opportunity to stroke his silver locks he closed his eyes moaned and then opened them to stare into mine.
"What?" I ask
"I want to believe you never stole from my family" he took in and a deep breath "Simply because I rather put my energy to good use by fucking you into oblivion instead of trying to kill you," he said looking over to the water. I sat there silent I didn't know what say. "Tell me of your master. Tell me how you inherited that bracelet." I sighed heavily before speaking.
"You won't believe me," I told him
"Because it's a lie" he retorted. Furious at the accusation I shove him off of me, half of his body landed in the stream
"Because it's something miraculous and sometimes I don't believe it myself," I say crossing my arms looking away. Doing so, I didn't see him lunge at me pining me to the ground. Half dry and wet. He began to wipe his wet side all over my face. I squealed "Oh my God stop" Laughing and attempting to push him off. He smiled as rolled over onto his back pulling me with him. I laid there on his chest.
"Tell me" he demanded in a soft tone. I lay on his chest listening to his heartbeat.
"It started four almost five years ago . . . . " I begin to tell my story
