I Do Not Own Inuyasha
Chapter 49
The twenty year old was laying in the grass with the twelve year old under the stars and he noted Rin's unusual silence. Tonight was his final night home, and instead of doing as Shishinki and Koga were doing (getting laid and drunk) he was here with her. But the child was being unusually quiet at this moment, and he was curious why she was being so quiet. It had him concerned as he tilted his head back to look at her to make certain the girl was awake. She was awake and staring at stars.
"Sesshomaru?"
"Hm?"
"When I get older can I marry you?"
"Rin?"
"I don't want to be away from you, and if we get married I'll never have to leave you, and I love you. Also, I don't want to live with my step-father; he's weird, and I wanna go with you!" Rin reminded him.
"We can't get married, you're twelve," he pointed out.
"I can marry you when I'm seventeen!" she argued and he had to smirk at her persistence in this matter.
"Alright, but are you certain you want to marry a twenty-five year old when you're only seventeen?" he challenged.
"If it's you," she replied honestly and he faltered as he looked back to her. She wasn't looking at him as she stared up at the stars. He just sighed. There would be no winning against her because he was knew he would cave to her demands, he would never deny her anything no matter what it was.
"We'll figure this out when you're older Rin," he decided.
"Promise?" she demanded.
"Yes," he assured her because he didn't know what was to come in the future. But no matter what, they were best friends and they would be together for forever. He had promised her forever once long ago on a tattered drawing he was taking with him over into the war. A small child's hand slid into his as they lay there in companionable silence.
"I love you Sesshomaru," she whispered and he didn't reply as he squeezed her hand gently. Rin just curled up against him and he pondered what the future was to hold. They were young, they would figure this mess out later. For now, he was going to enjoy the company of his best friend before he was shipped out into a hell. Her deep even breathing and steady heart informed him the girl had fallen asleep.
"I love you too, Rin," he murmured so she couldn't hear him but she grumbled something and pressed her small frame closer to him. He would miss this girl but for now he was here, and he would enjoy her company while he had it here because Kami knew he wasn't going to be here for a while. He didn't know the next time he would see Rin, so he would engrave this moment in his memory. He would never forget his human girl who was waiting here for him.
That's all for now folks!
Enjoy Rain for Tears! =)
