Disclaimers on everything that I don't own.
Sleep,
By Winterwing3000
Sighing, I brushed my crimson fingers over the soft petals of the roses in Lord Sesshomaru's garden. The birds were around me, silent and observing perched on the stems of the flowers. One even dared to close upon the soil coated in blood where a small-carved dagger was stuck.
I felt safe here, among the flowers.
Hiding here is the best… Lord Jaken can't find me; Lord Sesshomaru can't sniff me out; no one bothers me here… while I think about him.
He's probably busy talking to his soon-to-be mate about the wedding and stuff like that, too busy to mind about me… And about my foolish feelings for him.
I live only in the space between dream and reality.
I can only dream that I will be his mate, when in reality, I am not.
I can only dream that he will return my feelings, when in reality, he does not.
I can only dream that our children will be half-breeds, when in reality, they are not.
I can only dream to live by his side forever, when in reality, I cannot.
Sadly, too it seems… I'm dying with each passing second.
Will he recognize me then? Will he finally put away his pride and fulfill my one last wish before I depart the planes of the living? Will he remember me as I pass? Will he mourn, as I will continue to dream in the heavens?
So many questions and I have so little time to ask them… I watched with blurred eyes as I fell back into the blossoms behind me, scaring away the birds. The warm blood flowed down my hands and a trickle fell from my mouth.
Ne, Lord Sesshomaru, will you remember Rin when she dies?
Don't be foolish.
I smiled, remembering those words of the past, those words that were engraved in my heart. Closing my eyes, I savored them as my body clung onto the last few moments of my life.
"Rin? RIN? RIN!"
Lord Sesshomaru… you came…
"… Don't forget Rin… okay?" I cracked my eyes open and gave my silver haired angel one last smile, leaning into his hold and…
Closed my eyes.
Sleep was never as beautiful…
As it was now…
Note: Rin's 18, Sesshomaru's 700+
Please note that this is a DARK drabble, so these actions were … needed.
