Chapter Four: Kohaku's true feelings
Kohaku remembered the first time he had started developing feelings for Rin. When Rin turned fifteen, she joined him and Sango on a demon hunt. It was a centipede demon a lot bigger than the normal size and its venom spread even farther and smelled much more foul than than anything.
Sango began to lay traps while Kohaku and Rin kept watch. Rin smiled and looked at Kohaku, "Lets do our best, 'k?" Kohaku chuckled at her enthusiasm and nodded in response. Shortly after the earth beneath them began to shake. "Get ready!" Sango yelled as the centipede came between them and Sango.
The centipede let out a fearsome roar, then began spewing its toxic venom into the ground at Sango. Sango dodged,"Hirakose!" She shouted and released her demon weapon, but it only managed to take off some of its legs. This only made the demon angry, Kohaku began attacking with his sickled and Rin began throwing her daggers into its chest. Before she could unsheath her sword, the centipede spwed its toxin toward Rin. Kohaku grabbed her and pulled her to safety, but by doing so, some of the toxin covered his upper back and right shoulder.
Rin held onto Kohaku and called his name, the pain was so much for him he blacked out. Rin became infuriated and with Sango's distraction, Rin pulled her her sword and from behind she decapitated the centipede. When Kohaku came to, he was in his hut back in the village. It was already nightfall.
Looking around he found Rin there cooking,"Rin? What are you-" Rin looked over worriedly,"Kohaku you're alright." She came up to him and held him gently, "We came back to the village in time to dress and heal your wounds. I was so worried about you." Kohaku was shocked, he had no idea how much he ment to her. Ever since that day Kohaku did everything in his power to make Rin happy. All he wanted was to see her smile and be happy. Just him and only him and now…
"Rin….please say something." Rin stood there shocked, Kohaku has never shown any signs of these type of feelings for her ever. Kohaku grabbed his right sleeve and pulled it down to show her his scar, "On that day you took down a demon for hurting me, you healed and took care of me for weeks. Please, let me do the same for you. I love you and only you Rin." Rin shook her head, "Im sorry Kohaku, but all I want is to be with Lord Sesshomaru. Please understand, you'll find-!"
Kohaku grabbed hold of her and pulled her in for an embrace, "There is no one i want put you." With that decree, Kohaku leaned down and kissed Rin. Her eyes widen, no. She thought My first kiss. No! I wanted for that to be Lord Sesshomaru's! Rin squirmed but Kohaku held on tighter to her. Rin managed to get an arm free only to slap him away.
Kohaku took a step back and placed a hand on his cheek, "Rin….." Rin began to cry, something she hasnt done since Kaede's death. "How dare you Kohaku! I belong to Lord Sesshomaru! I'm sorry I can't share the same feelings as you but I'm going with him wether you like it or not!" Kohaku looked down, he cursed under his breath and walked away.
Rin stood there and then kneeled on the floor, her eyes couldn't stop the tears falling. I'm so sorry Kohaku, now that I've broken your heart, I have lost you as a friend. After crying for a while Rin realized the sun was about to set, so she hurried to her hut to grab her things and meet up with Sesshomaru. "RIN!" Sango bursted into Rin's home. Rin turned around,"Sango what's wrong?" Sango panted, "Its Kohaku! He's challenged Sesshomaru! We have to stop them he'll kill Kohaku!"
