Heart of Tensaiga
Stay
She had tried to argue her case in why she should be allowed to go with Sesshomaru that morning instead of being left behind; but, Sesshomaru would not have it. She didn't feel comfortable with her main protection being in the sole hands of Jaken. After all, Rin herself had gotten kidnapped while under his watch and the imp cared more about that girl than he did about Kagome.
Still, with one word her hopes were crushed.
'Stay' he had said before turning and walking away from her without so much as a glance back.
Kagome was frustrated by his actions and grumbled all during breakfast; however, that only made her further irritated since the meat provided for the morning meal had been caught by none other than the demon that caused her so much trouble.
Rin placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder and said, "Do not worry Kagome, Lord Sesshomaru will return soon. Lord Sesshomaru always returns."
Kagome tucked the little girl into her lap for a hug and asked, "Does Sesshomaru leave you alone often?"
Rin shook her head, "He does sometimes leave Rin often; but, he never leaves Rin alone. Rin always has Jaken and Ah-Un to play with. Now Rin has Kagome too!"
Kagome laughed at the girl's words and felt the world become a little brighter. Rin was right; Sesshomaru never left what was his unguarded. "Rin, would you like to help me gather herbs and flowers for Sesshomaru?"
Rin smiled broadly and shouted, "Yes!"
