Chapter 15

Recap:

Rin's POV

I felt someone touching my shoulder as I sat up, covered in sweat. I didn’t realize I was screaming and crying until I heard a voice to tell to quiet down. It was Sesshomaru. He was looking at me with a worried expression and when I finally regained my surroundings and calmed down. He took his hand off of my shoulder and sat back. I was still a little shakin up and my breathing was uneven. I looked down at my hands that were clenched into fists. Then looking Sesshomaru in the eyes. “The nightmares are back.”

Running my fingers through my hair I said “I thought they would have left me by now.” When I looked at Lord Sesshomaru again, he must have seen fear, pain, worry, and pleading in my eyes because he came to me , and wrapped his arms around me, laying down, which allowed me to lay on his chest. He had takem the armor off and so I was completely comfortable.

“Sleep now.” his coive was soft, like it was when I had my nightmares as a child. I have never told him what is in my nightmares, but he knows that they affect me more than normal nightmares should. But my nightmares are far from normal.

Clenching his kimono in my hand and looking at him, my forehead only to his chin. “I just want them to stop.” I burried my head in his neck and shoulder as his arms tightened slightly. I felt a little safer with him holding me, and eventually I fell back asleep.

Rin's POV

Waking up in the morning in the arms of the person that makes you feel happy, and makes you feel safe, is one of the best feelings in the world. Especially when they tell you…

“Good morning,” and placing a strand of hair behind my ear because it fell in my face when I sat up some to look at him. I was still on his chest only looking down at him now.

I smiled “Good morning.” He placed his hand on my cheek and then placed it behind my neck bringing me down and kissing my lips lightly. I pulled away this time and looked out the window. “How long have I been asleep?”

“It is almost mid day now.”

I rolled out of his arms and headed to the living area to make some tea. Sesshomaru came out with his armor now on and stood against the wall watching me closely. “Everything is going to change now, isn’t it?” I asked., not looking away from the water I was trying to boil.

“Perhaps.” In other words depending on what kind of change, and if it is what I want, and if he could some how change, maybe.

“When you leave, does this mean that I can go with you?”

“If that is what you want.”

“What do you want?” I looked at him then.

He walked over to me standing so close now I could feel his body heat, our chests almost touching. I came to about his shoulder or chin, but that’s okay.

“I want…” He seemed to have to think about it. “I want you to be happy.”

“Then I am going with you.” He stepped back as did I when the water started to boil. I poured the water into a cup filled with the tea leaves. Stirring it and then allowing it to cool down now before I drink it. I sat down with the cup in my hands and Sesshomaru sat across from me.

“You probably want to talk now don’t you?” Speaking in his tongue. It still caused different emotions to flash through his eyes.

“You would be correct.”

“What would you like to know?”

“How do you know our language?”

“Your mother.”

“Who is after you?”

“Some one.” “Who?”

“I cannot tell.” I thought for a while of what I was going to say next. “A person that wants me back and another, or should I say a few, there are many after me now.”

“what do they want with you?”

“There is no way of knowing the true meaning of why they want me, but I do know its not good, and I do not plan on going.”

That seemed to settle it, out conversation ended after that, and I started to drink my tea. Sesshomaru seemed to be thinking and then also keeping an eye on me at the same time. I didn’t mind though, he does this often. He did it so many times when I was younger, when I had traveled with him, when we had stopped for the night for me to rest for a while, he always seemed to be somewhere else, but then he also seemed here staying on guard, just in case.

Finishing my tea I went to grab an apple from a bowl we kept full of them in the cooking area of the home sitting back down I ate in silence until I heard something hitting the front and side of the home. Sesshomaru came back and was about to stand, but I raised my hand. “Don’t bother. I am used to this.” He seemed troubled by this byt stayed put. He seemed to watch me much more closely now. Soon the names started. Crazy. Witch. Demon. Possessed girl. No good for anything. Go away. No one needs you. Not wanted. Pathetic. Weak. Worthless.

Non of this was new to me it is what is my life for now. Soon you heard them scatter and run off while he also hearing some one punching a few of them and throwing them inuyasha walked in. “Hey how’s it going?”

“Fine just fine thatnk you for that.” My head rolled to the side.

“It was nothing.” he walked over and took an apple. “Rin?”

“Yes.”

“Could you held keep an eye on everything for a while I am getting a bad feeling.”

“Yeah sure.” I shrugged. “Anything else?”

“Nope.” He left.

I stood and then started to clean even though there was nothing to clean after cleaning I basically nothing I grabbed my bag and started walking to the out skirts of the cillage soon I reached the river and walked further down until there was a small clearing I set the bag deown and pulled out a few knives and daggers aiming at a tree a few yards away I threw them making a circle with them and then throwing the last one hitting in the middle walking over and pulling them out going for the from the tree and doing it again repeating this multiple times getting further away each time and each time hitting my target.

Sesshomaru stood under a tree behind me, watching me. Once I got through with throwing, I put them back in my bag, walking over to sesshomaru, setting the bag at my feet. Leaning against the tree beside him he looked down at me

“I’m fine.” I was hot and breathless. After regaining my breathing I glanced up at sesshomaru “Would you like to be my opponent for the time being?” He did not answer but I pulled out my katana any way. He pulled out his tensagia just so that hw would not cut me.

Yay me fun right. I must have a death wish. Oh well, gives me a challenge. He came at me first, as I blocked his blow. He is going easy on me. “Why are you treating me like a child?” His expression did not change. Then stepping up and I started striking at him, of course he blocks me my blows. I soon drop down, and go for his feet, to take them out from under him. He flips over my head and swings at me. I block it with my katana. Only this time, Sesshomaru, in one swift motion, he flung my katana out of my hand, and into his open one. With his tensagia hw swung at me again, I jumped back and pulled out a dagger I had hidden. I blocked him and did a back flip, landing in a crouch and sliding back a few feet. I looked at him, “Really?” No response. I stood back up and glared at him. “ You could do better.”

“Are you sure?” Hey he responded!

“Yes.” He came at me fast and was behind me in an instant. He grabbed my arm with the dagger and was about to bring the sword to my throat, when I hit him in the gut with my elbow. Then hit him with the back of my head. I spun out of his grasp, while grabbing his tensagia, at the same time. I know that I didn’t phase him, much, he reacted and let me do this, as if I were fighting a human or weaker demon. Why would he….. He is testing me, to see what I can do.

“Can you make this any easier?”

“You’re not that bad.”

“Should I thank you?”

Using his poison claws, as a whip he grabbed tensagia and took it out of myt hand and into his. I back flipped a few times until I was at a good distance. I glared at him. My katana was put in his sash, which held up his other swords. I want it back. Anger started to grow inside me. No, I cant, he cant know. I focused and played with the dagger in my hand, I threw it at him. He caught it, great. He disappeared then appeared in front of me in a second. I reached for my dagger by the moved his arm. I continued to try for my dagger, then my katana, but to no avail. Finally I stopped and glared at him.

“Are you enjoying your self?” I asked in his language. But no response, although the look in his eyes gave me my answer. Then after a moment.

“What do you do in this situation Rin?”

I closed my eyes, think Rin, think.
