Chapter ten To The West
A month had passed and Rin was back to her normal healthy self. In the month of her recovery she had been picking herbs and fighting demons like she normally would. Rin would spend her time alone when she wasn't busy, she was just an empty shell. Sango had proposed a plan for Rin's journey back to the west but Kohaku had been keeping watch over her. She knew Kohaku would stop her from leaving but he needed to get over her. Her love was for Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru alone.
Rin met up with Sango for a walk and on their walk she whispered to Rin,"Its time." Rin smiled, she was overwhelemed with joy. "Today a beautiful princess is traveling by, she's the perfect type for Kohaku. She's a kind and giving princess who tends to the poor rather than spoil in her riches. She passing by here to help give provisions to the neighboring village. We'll get Kohaku to go and see her and help her as extra protection." Rin smile widen, she like this plan.
By midafternoon the princess was being traveled by a carrying carriage and she was well guarded. Miroku stopped by and explained to them it would be wise to have a demon slayer with them as an extra precaution. The princess listened but her guards refused, "Let me see this demon slayer." The princess said, she opened the cloth and looked at Miroku, she was young but her skin was flawless and her eyes spoke out of innocence. "If the demon slayer is of a kind heart i will accept them as an extra guard. I don't like using them, they are here on behalf of my father." Miroku stood there but nodded,"You're father is a concerned man I'm sure, I have two daughters myself and although they are demon slayers in training, I would do anything to protect them. Besides its best to have him around, there are still spider underlings that lurk around." The princess smiled and nodded,"I am princess Mizuna, what is your name monk?"
He made a polite bow,"Miroku, my princess and the demon slayer i wish to accompany you is my brother in law Kohaku." Mizuna nodded,"Alright, tell him to meet us at the village. We will know if the demon slayer is him if he gives me back this." She hands Miroku a scarf. he nodded,"I will princess." Mizuna smiled and tapped on the wood, they were off. Miroku sent the scarf to Kohaku and Kohaku accepted the job and went to the meetup saw him leave and took this chance to take a horse and travel westward to Sesshomaru's castle. Mizuna's guards stopped Kohaku and he showed the scarf,"I am the demon slayer here to help protect the Princess Mizuna as she travels by here." Mizuna opened the cloths and blushed as she saw the handsome demon slayer, this made Kohaku blush all his life the only beautiful one for him was Rin but this princess was stunning. Mizuna nodded,"Alright demon slayer, lets go shall we?" Kohaku nodded and followed in her protection.
Rin continued her journey to the west along the way she had to fight some demons off but they were easy to move out of the way. Nothing was going to stop her she was determined, then she saw A-Un flying with Jaken riding him. Rin smiled and followed A-Un, keeping quiet. Maybe they know a faster way to get to Lord Sesshomaru's castle. Rin kept pursuit until they finally reached Sesshomaru's castle. She kept her distance, jumping off the horse she walked toward the castle. A-Un landed and Jaken jumped down, he turned and saw Rin. He shook with fear," Rin! How dare you disobey Lord Sesshomaru's request! He told you to live a normal life girl he doesnt want you here." Rin glared at Jaken, like seeing as a child Rin kicked Jaken's face in, "Forgive me Master Jaken but I want to see my Lord Sesshomaru." Entering the castle she dropped all her weapons, down to the last dagger. She found Sesshomaru on the porch facing the mountain,"Why are you disobeying me Rin?" Sesshomaru said without turning around. Rin pouted,"Why did you leave me again Lord Sesshomaru?" He sat there and growled," Do not make repeat myself." Rin glared,"I choose to stay with you my Lord. That's all I want, that is why I disobeyed you. Now answer me, why did you leave." Sesshomaru stood, Rin realized the upper part of his clothing was exposed, no armor or anything just skin. He stood there and looked at her,"I want you to live a normal human life, you do not need to be at a demon's side. I realized this when you left. I shouldve never asked you to come be by my side again." Rin shook with anger,"I…..Dont'...Care!" Rin embraced him," All i've ever wanted was to be with you my lord, that's all I want. I dont care if your a demon and im a human. I love you! And i want to be by your side! Please… please let me my lord." Sesshomaru looked down at her, he wanted this deep down, in the hundreds of years he's lived he's never felt or seen this act of love toward him. Sesshomaru sighed,"Do as you wish."
