Chapter 7 - 10 Years in 10 Seconds
"Lord Sesshomaru!" she looked wildly around the hut when she saw him next to her. The girl threw herself onto him and hugged him tightly. "What has happened to me, Lord Sesshomaru?"
"So," he began slowly as if finally coming to a certain conclusion, "you are Rin. I do not know why you are in this body."
"I remember singing to myself and that was the last time I saw you. Then I fell asleep and I could have sworn that I was hurting you just as I did the others," Rin said silently.
"Is this true, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.
Sesshomaru only frowned and furrowed his eyebrows.
"When I finally became more aware of what was going on around me, I was in a trance. Kirara was carrying me away from Sango who was fighting hordes of demons. We came to a cave-and that cave called to me. Unwillingly, I climbed off Kirara and went inside. I saw the Priestess Midoriko in the demon's mouth. I felt her presence perfectly as she spoke to me. She said that it was time to let it go. When I had died from the wolves and had been brought back by Tenseiga, it had made a cage from it. Then that infant looked inside my heart and soul. That made a small opening for it to be let out but only a little bit at a time. It refused to be imprisoned any longer so it wrapped me in those bonds-those bonds that warp time," Rin said silently and gravely.
"They 'warp' time?" Sango questioned. "What does that mean?"
"In only a mere ten seconds, 10 years had passed within the cocoon. This aged my body and quickened the process in which to widen that opening and releasing it as quick as possible," she explained.
"You keep referring to this thing inside you as 'it.' What is it?" Miroku wisely asked.
Rin looked at the ground.
"I don't know," she replied in shame. "But after my body had reached its current state, I could see the battle between the Priestess Midoriko and the demon. I heard in the background some thumping, scratching, and hitting. My memory was gone then and it almost sounded like an arrow being shot when I was put into an even deeper sleep. Next thing I knew, I woke up in here."
Chapter 8 - Lustful Thinking
"This is extraordinarily confusing," Myoga said on Inuyasha's shoulder. "It almost sounds as if she is possessed. By what-I do not know."
They sat in silence for a little while. Rin had already pulled herself away from her lord and sat in front of them. The silence was then broken by the most silent person there.
"Jaken, get Ah-Un," Lord Sesshomaru ordered his retainer.
"Are we going, milord?" Jaken asked eagerly.
"Yes." Sesshomaru stared down at Rin and instead of saying, "Come, Rin," as he usually did, he bent over and picked her up into his one arm.
"Wait!" came Inuyasha's voice. "We still haven't found out exactly how come she was drawn into the cave! Or what her connection is to the Sacred Jewel!"
"Inuyasha, this does not concern you. Rin is my ward so she will come with me. I am tired of these games." Sesshomaru answered coldly as he walked out of the hut.
Rin looked up to her lord and slightly blushed as he held her in his arm. But she knew the only reason why he was doing that was because she couldn't walk. She was in a new body and had to learn how to walk all over, just like how a baby does.
Jaken stood there holing Ah-Un's reins in his little green hands. She felt as if she hadn't seen the two-headed dragon in ages.
Sesshomaru gently placed Rin onto Ah-Un's saddle and went to take his place at the head of the party.
"I can't believe Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled. "He goes off with the one person who seems to have something to do with the Jewel! Completely selfish!" Everyone looked at him as if he were brainless.
"You can't blame him, Inuyasha," Kagome said calmly. "She's his ward and he has no interest in the Jewel. He is looking for Naraku."
It grew dark and Rin was getting tired. She was extremely quiet and sat up straight on the saddle. Eventually, they came to a clearing and Lord Sesshomaru stopped.
"We'll camp here tonight," he said in his usual monotone voice.
Since Rin could not walk, Sesshomaru had made Jaken gather firewood, start the fire, and find food. She still hadn't eaten and her stomach grumbled so much it began to annoy Lord Sesshomaru and his keen sense of hearing.
The fire burned brightly in front of Jaken and Rin. Lord Sesshomaru sat against a tree staring up at the night sky, deep in thought as always. The moon was full and bright. Rin had eaten some fish and now kept close to the fire for warmth.
She saw a pretty little pink flower on the grass and rather than picking it as she would any pretty flowers, she stroked it. She sighed and then said something a bit shocking.
"You miss the old Rin, don't you?" she said quietly but Sesshomaru heard her clearly-as well as Jaken.
"Why do you assume such foolish things, you silly girl!" Jaken squawked. "You are probably more preferable now that you don't talk so much-!"
"That wasn't what I was saying, Master Jaken!" Rin yelled.
"You may have grown but you are still as dumb as ever, Rin!"
"And you are still as mean as ever! I would hit you if I was allowed to!" Rin yelled at him and turned to the side, crossing her arms.
"Well, you can't, you little-!" Jaken was saying until a large rock flew at his head knocking him five feet forward.
Rin looked around to see Lord Sesshomaru give a cold glare with his golden eyes to the imp. She smiled at him, appreciating that he had acknowledged her. He turned to her and his glare disappeared only leaving an expressionless face.
"What did you mean by that, Rin?" he asked without even the slightest hint he was interested.
She stopped smiling and became serious again.
"I would have seen this flower here and picked it without a second thought. But now I look at it and feel I should not. It was no doubt because of everything I saw in what seemed like a decade," she explained while stroking the flower once more. Rin turned her head back to the flower. "I saw so many things . . . I understand so much now. This flower is alive, just like me and it would not be right to quicken the death of something so beautiful. Everything seemed to have flowed into my mind . . . life and death. Love and hate. Beauty and ugliness. Immortality and mortality. Good and evil. Fate and destiny. Strong and weak-power."
Sesshomaru watched her closely, especially at that last word.
"I am no longer the Rin everyone knew, not exactly," she finished.
"Don't be foolish," Sesshomaru said. It was then that she looked straight into his eyes, gold meeting chocolate-brown.
Even though you try to hide it, I can see right through you now, Rin said through her mind, knowing he would hear it.
Sesshomaru stopped as he heard the thought. Rin blushed lightly and directed her face up at the sky letting it bathe her in moonlight. To Sesshomaru, he could swear that the blood in her body reacted and pumped faster with the help of some unknown force. Finally, Rin turned and slowly laid down on the ground, letting the grass be her bed and the fire's heat her blanket. She had her back facing upward as she soon fell into a peaceful sleep.
Lord Sesshomaru only stared, and hearing the slowed breathing of the slumbering Rin, he returned to stare off into space.
Jaken was well knocked-out as a bruise was forming on his head and would be out for quite a while.
In a few minutes, Sesshomaru gazed over to see that Rin was stirring.
'Already? She only went to sleep a few minutes ago-' Sesshomaru thought.
Rin turned over but did not wake.
'Her blood is quickening . . . why?' Sesshomaru looked at Rin carefully. As she flipped over slowly, her arm ran along her sides lightly and stretched both of them over her head as her slender legs rubbed together. Sesshomaru knew these movements anywhere.
'She's aroused. But why?'
Then it happened. The scent of her blood increased a hundred fold. Any demon with any sense of smell would be able to smell her.
'First aroused and now she's in heat . . . ' Without realizing it, Sesshomaru got to his feet and walked calmly over to Rin. Every step made his heart beat faster.
'What is happening to me?' he asked himself as his demon blood surged faster and faster and his muscles began to tense up.
Ah-Un was at the side by the unconscious Jaken, staring curiously at Sesshomaru and Rin. He dared not interfere, though.
A voice in Sesshomaru's head was urging him to touch her, hold her, kiss her . . . .
'Why? Why do I want to do this?' he kept asking himself as the other part of his mind continued to take in every one of her body's features-she was so . . . . voluptuous. More and more, his own voice was drowned out by the other until Sesshomaru was on one knee next to her body. He gazed at her and saw an unusual red aura start to surge over her body's surface slowly, calling him closer. At that point, his voice of logic was gone and the other made his blood boil with a deep lust.
Sesshomaru's eyes went red as the demon blood took over completely with only one want. He lowered his face toward hers with only an inch in-between them.
The voice was saying in a deep tone:
Her body is yours for the taking. Nothing can stop you from being with her. Her beauty is for you alone to enjoy . . . .
His hand reached forward, running a claw along the side of her cheek, going slowly down her neck, gently to the inside of the fold in her kimono.
He was about to go all the way to her face to touch his lips to hers when the peaceful expression changed to fear and her eyes clenched tightly together. She looked as if she were going to start squirming.
The aura around her body ceased any movement and dove back into Rin's body.
Rin turned over lying on her side, with a content face. Sesshomaru's eyes cleared changing back to their golden orbs. He stared a moment at his position. Immediately, he stood back up, watching the sleeping girl.
'What just happened? It can't be possible . . . . I didn't just almost do that, did I?' Sesshomaru questioned himself worriedly. But even then, he had the same yearning for her as he did in his trance. He thought more on the red aura. 'That must be what Rin has been telling me is inside her. Why, then, would it do such a thing? It seems more and more to me like she is possessed. Before anything else happens I need to fix this problem. That monk with the half-breed, maybe he can exorcise her.'
Sesshomaru walked to a nearby tree and sat against it. His back faced Rin so he wouldn't continually stare at her and get any new ideas or have the same thing from a few moments ago repeat itself.
