SAVING ME
Chapter 5 – Compassion
The feel of a hand against her shoulder had Rin looking up into the all too familiar amber eyes of the stranger. She expected annoyance, distain and even unwillingness to help her but she found none and it only propelled the tears gathered in her eyes that refused to fall. She extended her arms and he reached for her, lifting her warm wet body into his own. He knew the girl had placed an extreme amount of trust in him for she must have been too weak to walk on her own. He cradled her body against his own and felt her shiver. He leaned his cheek against her forehead and found her to be excessively warm for someone who was supposed to have been chilled by the rain. Cursing under his breath he hastened his steps back to the hotel and to his room.
By the time he had arrived at his condo, his arms were cramped and the girl had drifted off into unconsciousness. He frowned, he needed to change her wet clothes but he was afraid that in doing so she would awake and not comprehend the situation and break the frail thread of trust they had forged mere minutes before.
Cursing his recent luck, Sesshomaru lowered the girl on top of the comforter before racing to his room to retrieve socks, a t-shirt and shorts. He retrieved a towel from the linen closet and moved to her limp figure, lifting the wet shirt and night gown from her body. Multiple small circular scars caught his gaze but fueling his desire to know her story, but it was quickly wiped away by the small plump breast with the pink areolas and pebbled nipples. It had been so long since he had seen a woman's body he couldn't help the flush of embarrassment that crept in his cheeks, Rin was a mere child. And so he wiped the moisture from her body and dressed her in his shorts, shirt and socks before placing her beneath the slightly damp comforter.
He wouldn't receive any sleep that night; for he would have to continuous wipe her fevered brow and spoon water, soup and medicine into her mouth as well as holding a bucket to her head, whilst simultaneously grasping her hair while she retched. She groaned as she fell back against the sheets while he wiped away the traces from her mouth and provided water to rinse the awful taste, too caught up in her waves of pain to realize that for the first time in her entire life, she had been truly cared for and this stranger, a man who had no relation to her or any expectations of her, had never left her side once during the worst night of her life, not even to use the bathroom.
Brushing the skin of Rin's forehead, Sesshomaru sighed and ran a hand through his own hair; he was starting to feel something again. He identified this emotion as Compassion.
AUTHOR'S Note: Sorry I couldn't update because of some insane school work! But I plan to put up another chapter tonight. ^_^
Smalltea: lol I'm sorry for making your imagination go awry. I actually don't know who the father of the child is. But it's probably gonna be someone who capitalizes on the drama lol. I love drama.
Jellisa: awww, you poor thing. I completely understand, between work and full time school I don't know how I have time to write and lol, at least your bf has your best interest at heart right? Good fanfics are so addicting though! Lmao.
Jolie Luv: ^_^ you totally pegged Rin right, she is traumatized. I think sometimes you fear something so much that nothing else matters…and that was the case when she ran from Sesshomaru. But she came to her scenes….lol. You know, Its unfortunately this story that has heralding towards a writer's block? Lmao. And in terms of Divine Intervention, there is a RinXSessh pairing. I've actually given away my storyline because you know I don't do tragedies where they are concerned lol.
Tencharms: *hands you a chapter and sets about writing the next* haha.
