Chapter 5: A strange dream
Normal POV
After Chujitsuna was told to leave Sesshomaru carried Rin to bed and they cuddled up together. Soon they fell asleep only to have the same dream...
"Sesshomaru-sama? Can I come with you?" Rin inquired softly, still staring at his back.
"You can't, Rin," he spoke flatly, still not able to look at her. "You cannot come with me."
Rin took a few steps backward, staring at the back of her Lord in disbelief, terror rapidly tearing into her heart. Rin could feel the strength leaving her legs and she turned her back towards Sesshomaru, dropping to her knees in the already wet grass. It didn't matter now anyway. Nothing mattered. Sesshomaru had made his choice, and it was the choice that Rin was not allowed to come with him. The one thing she'd dreaded to hear. The one thing that would either make or break her. She should have prepared herself for this, but she hadn't and now she was cracking, breaking into a thousand tiny shards, much like the Shikon no Tama had years and years ago. The orb had rolled out of her hands and into the grass always away.
The young woman knew that it was possible she may not be able to go with him, but Rin had gotten her hopes up over nothing. It was probably just as she feared. He'd found somebody else. Rin's eyes began burning and filling with relentless tears and she could no longer hold them back. Rin allowed herself to cry, but tried not to let herself by heard by his keen hearing. It just couldn't be helped now. Her whole world, her reason for living had just came crashing down around her. Rin could no longer control the flood of emotions that poured into her like a rapid waterfall.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes painfully, keeping himself turned away from Rin and then re-opened them as the scent of rain invaded his senses as well as the scent of salt...Rin's tears. Rin... He had made her cry. Did she truly long for him that much? He did not understand why when she had friends here and was safe. Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder to see the young woman collapsed onto her knees, weeping quietly and another pang filled his heart. "Rin, why do you cry?" The daiyoukai inquired gently. "There is no reason for it, is there?"
Later that afternoon, Rin woke up feeling warm like she felt years ago. The thing is she knew what or rather who it belonged to...her husband, Sesshomaru. On the other hand Sesshomaru woke up earlier that afternoon, as he didn't sleep much, and waited for his wife to awake. The dream wasn't that nice but it felt familiar to both of them. That's what made them both feel unhappy but of course only Rin looked sad. This did not go unseen by Sesshomaru.
"What troubles you, Rin?" he inquired.
"It's a dream. It had me and you in it. The only difference was the clothing."
"Tell me about it." he ordered.
"I asked you if I can come with you and then you said I can't. I cried. Then you asked me..why I was crying." she explained, surprising Sesshomaru.
"I...I...had the same dream." stated Sesshomaru,"it's odd."
"Sessho...I have a feeling we should talk to Bakuseno, the wise tree yokai."
"Hn." was the only sound Sesshomaru made before heading of with Rin to see the old tree.
"Bakuseno! I think you know very well why we are here, right?" Rin stated.
"Yes I do."
"So, what is you answer?"Sesshomaru asked.
"Wait! Wait! I need to to know how you looked like in the dream and then I could tell what it is." said Bakuseno.
"Sesshomaru appears handsome and frail-looking at the same time, as a tall and slender young man. He has fair skin with pointy ears, golden eyes with slit pupils, and waist-length white hair with short bangs. He has a crescent moon on his forehead that can be seen beneath his bangs, two stripes on each cheek, and a magenta stripe on each eyelid. When he uses his Dakkoso three stripes appear on his wrists. Like he is now but he wore something 's armor includes a spiked pauldron that covers his left shoulder attached to the upper section of his cuirass and "lotus petal" faulds. Both his armor and his long flowing sash have a decided Chinese influence, as opposed to the customary Japanese armor and obi. His kimono is mostly white with a red and white cherry blossom flower crest at the collar and sleeves, showing that he is of royal birth. He wears sashinuki hakama which are gathered at the ankles, producing a "ballooning" effect. His footwear consists of black ankle-high boots, also reminiscent of Mainland influence. On his right shoulder is his mokomoko-sama: the fur and tail of his true form which he retains in his humanoid form." described Rin.
"Rin was seen wearing a kimono. One was light pink with dark pink lines, yellow dots and lantern-like patterns on it. She looked exactly the same as now but she had slightly larger eyes." said Sesshomaru.
"All that you saw was something that happened about 500 years ago in the feudal era." said Bakuseno.
"Huh? What?" the couple asked in confusion.
