Summary: Rin knew not to expect someone to be perfect…
Prior to belief, she was not as naïve as some thought. She knew that no one, not even he, was perfect.
Expecting one to be perfect would only resort one to disappointment. But assuming one to understand between right and wrong seemed to be quite different from presuming someone to be faultless.
Sesshomaru-sama wasn't perfect…
When Sesshomaru-sama had taken his brother's sword with the help of that evil youkai and thrown away his sword, the one he'd saved her life with ... it probably the only time she'd ever felt he'd been erroneous in what he'd done.
"Rin…" Sesshomaru-sama's deep voice spoke clearly but softly.
Rin's ears perked up, arms wrapped protectively around her sword. Slowly, she drew herself up, blinking tiredly and searching his white form among the dark night. The grass rustled as she bravely walked up to him, chin pointing out stubbornly and eyes stinging at the edges for the obviously distressed youkai.
His face turned away from her, avoiding eye contact. His arm stretched out, reflected in the night as a pasty white, and a clawed hand rested on the hilt of Tenseiga. His eyes closed, and with a deep sigh, the sword was relieved from her arms.
"You may go back to sleep." He said, tucking the sword at his side.
Some may think she was fully unaware of his faults and imperfections, but truthfully, she just turned a blind eye to them. It was easier on both of them to pretend that he was perfect.
*old* A/N for Nightmare and a Kiss* For one, thank you so much for reading! I felt really inspired writing this after I felt really down yesterday. (Partly due from the snow) But I honestly hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Don't forget, if you see any mistakes/you have a suggestion to better myself as a writer, I would love to hear it! Just to warn you for, updates are stacking up and you'll see some more work from me soon! Promise. ;)
