!LAST TIME THIS WILL BE POSTED! Since Sesshomaru's mother's name has not been relased in the anime or manga, I will be giving her a name. Sorry if some don't like it, but I honestly looked hard for it, I only got unconfirmed names, and i wouldn't use an unauthentic and mistaken name in my story. I'll be giving her the name Asami, meaning beautiful linen. Mostly she'll be reffered to as Ma'am, mother, Madame, and Her Grace.
Akane held Rin's hand as they walked through the snow and down into the village below. "Where are we going?" Rin asked quietly.
"Where do you want to go Rin?" Akane asked as they walked into the snow blanketed village.
"I would say home, but I don't have one." Rin said and more tears began to fall. "Take me to Kagome's village."
Rin and Akane walked for several miles in the harsh winter air before reaching the Village of Kusabana. Akane began asking people outside for Inuyasha's residence. They were given an address. Rin knocked on the door of the small stone house. They lived in the only stone house in the village, it seemed out of place.
Kagome answered the door smiling. "Oh hey Rin!" Her smile soon faded as she seen the tear streaks on Rin's face. Kagome gathered the younger woman into her arms and held her tightly.
"Rin, I must leave you now. I have duties to attend to." Akane said bowing her head.
Kagome closed the door behind her and sat Rin down on a straw mat. "Sesshomaru?"
Rin whimpered and rubbed her eyes like a child. "We slept together and then at breakfast his mother got angry with me." She rubbed her lower back where the injury had occurred. "Sesshomaru healed me and then I was…I was told to leave."
Inuyasha walked into the room and saw Rin crying. He turned on his heel and walked back to where he came from. He wanted nothing to do with crying women other than his own wife.
Kagome handed Rin a bowl of soup from a nearby fireplace. "Eat." She then got up and left the room to speak with Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said leaning at the door way to their bedroom.
"Hn?"
"Would you mind if Rin stayed with us a while?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha looked up at his wife and gave her a less than amused look. "Look, it's here or out there alone in the freezing early winter." Kagome said sharply.
"Fine."
Rin was asleep when Kagome got back to the main room.
Five Months Later~
Rin threw handfuls of grain to the chickens in the back of Kagome's house. Normally Kagome would be doing such things but since she was six months pregnant, it was exhausting for her. At first Rin had dreams about Sesshomaru, pleasant ones. Then they slowly grew darker so that Rin had gained a hatred for the demon. She no longer believed that Sesshomaru had done this for her own good, but he did it for his own reputation.
As Rin began to think about Sesshomaru her hand tightened in the bag of grain and corn kernels snapped in her grip. The chickens had their fill of the food and Rin stored the bag of grain in the backroom when she came into the house. "Kagome! I fed the chickens!" Rin yelled as she walked into the living room.
Kagome stood at the front door with it open. She was talking harshly to whom ever was at the door. Rin knew Kagome would never talk to anyone in such a tone unless they had personally angered her. As Rin approached her friend she saw the visitor.
Sesshomaru stood at the door looking slightly older than when Rin last saw him. She avoided looking into his eyes and instead averted her attention to the hair falling on his cheek.
"I asked what you wanted." Kagome growled holding her hand on her hip.
"I want to talk with Rin." Sesshomaru said in his usual monotone voice. Rin knees shook when she heard him talk. She'd forgotten how much she loved his voice, how soft but harsh it was.
"You've hurt this woman enough, I won't let you do so anymore." Kagome said closing the door in his face. "Can you believe him?"
Rin stared at the closed door in a trance.
Kagome waved her hands in front of Rin's face. "Rin. Hello, Riiinnnn?"
"Yeah?"
Kagome huffed and stamped her foot on the floor. "You still love him! He hurt you so much!"
"Kagome I have to talk to him. I have to." Rin ran to the back door for her shoes and slipped them on. Rain began to pour on the village by the time Rin got to the front door. She threw it open and ran down the street to find Sesshomaru. He was gone from sight.
Rin had to talk to him. She needed to hear whatever he had to say. Rin decided that she would go up to the castle and find him there.
"Hey, hey do you have an invitation?" A guard asked holding his spear out to block Rin's entering.
"No." Rin said quietly. She knew she wouldn't be allowed into the castle so easily.
"Then I suggest you leave."
Rin smile sweetly and pulled her hand out from behind her back. She held a large, thick, heavy branch that she'd grabbed on her way up to the castle. "I do have this." She said smashing the guard upside the head. He fell to the ground with an audible thump.
"Get her!" Another guard yelled and all of the guards protecting the gates lurched at Rin.
Rin swung the great branch around her in a circle taking out several of the guard that had bum-rushed her. She thrust it into the stomach of a large guard coming at her and thrust it back at another one. It was down to her and one other guard. Adrenaline pumped through Rin's veins as she stared down the guard.
The guard walked towards Rin cockily. He figured it'd be easy to take the girl down in one on one combat. He was a demon and she was a mere human. He was wrong, so very wrong with his assumption.
Rin rushed the guy and grabbed his face in one tiny hand and threw all her weight at him. The guard was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Rin smashed her tiny fists into his face until it bled profusely When she got off the guard she looked back at the other men who remained on the ground. She couldn't believe she had taken out seven armed guards on her own.
Rin opened the gates and walked into the castle. She saw several maids rushing about the main hall. She stopped one and asked, "Where is Lord Sesshomaru?"
"He's in the grand hall. He makes his bridal selection today his mother demands he produce and heir soon." The maid blushed brightly. Clearly she thought highly of her lord.
Rin ran to the grand hall and threw the doors open to see several hundred women seated on large cushions. Some were very beautiful while others were very ugly. All of them were demons of nobility. A fat dumpy man was reading from scrolls about each woman.
"Kikade of Hoto is 15 years of age. She had raven black hair and stunning green eyes. Her father and mother are both respected Raaccon demons of the North."
Sesshomaru sat looking rather irritated. He looked up at the familiar scent of Rin. "Shut up." He said to the fat dumpy man. The man silenced himself instantly. "I've made my decision." Sesshomaru said coldly. The women's whose names had been read shifted giddily.
"I choose her." Sesshomaru said pointing at Rin. He stepped down from his chair and began walking towards his former ward. "She's disrespected me. Spoken out of turn to my mother. Tarnished my reputation. Angered me. Made me wear flower crowns." By this time Sesshomaru had reached Rin. He put a hand into her wet hair. "And I love her." He said and kissed Rin softly.
Rin's mind reeled and she promptly let herself forget the last five torturous months. She was here in Sesshomaru's grasp and he had said he loved her in front of a room of hundreds of people. She began to cry tears of joy. She knew all of these people disapproved but she didn't care, and neither Sesshomaru.
Rin kicked ass! I guess watching Sesshomaru fight all these years paid off. ^^ Besides she had some serious rage to let out. And Kagome was already a month prengant prior to the Five Month time lapse, she just wasn't showing yet. Remember to comment! ~ Iska
