Good evening guys. Im really glad you haven't grown tired of me yet. I would like to apologize for breaking my promise. Yet again. I so appreciate it that you understood my current situation. I've been really with work. And since Im new, I really dont have a say in the schedule of duties my employees give me as a reliever. And recently i have just finished 4 straight noc shifts. Imagine the lack of sleep on my part.
Anyways, I would like to dedicate this chapter to all of you my beloved readers. And to AtlantaGeorgia: thank you so much for the fave and follow. I hope i was able to deliver in this chapter. Please continue to R & R.
Rin was about to mount the horse Kohaku brought with him when Sesshomaru spoke.
He clearly had been more possessive since the last time I came to visit . Did something happen between this two that I should know of?
"Take Ah-un with you." The lord said with finality.
"I expect you to do your job." The lord of the west addressed the royal aide with such formality and authority.
"I'll protect her with my life." Kohaku matched his gaze.
At least there's one thing they could agree on.
Sesshomaru started to walk back to the palace when Rin caught hold of his sleeves.
He was still mad at her. He insisted on going with her. But she was so stubborn. Instead, she'd ask Kohaku to accompany her home to the village. He needed to recover and rest. Given the previous nights that is.
"I'll be back. I promise."
He only looked at her with his usual passiveness. If only she could see the turmoil inside of him. He is torn between letting her go and keeping her; not letting her out of his sight even for a second.
"No more running away." She assured him.
Be safe. For me. But of course, he wouldn't let out those cheesy lines. At least not in front of Kohaku and Jaken. Instead he said, "Don't do anything silly."
Then he leaned down and gave her one last parting kiss.
Rin was excited she could be back in the village. But she too was sad that she'd have to leave Sesshomau behind. She couldn't wait to go back home to the palace after this. Back to his arms.
Even the palaces' towers can now be hardly seen at their distance. She let out a sleepy sigh before morpheus and hypnos cast their spell and brought her to dreamland.
A small child, about 5 years of age, hid behind a cupboard. Hugging her knees. Sobbing.
Yes, she remembered crying. Crying till there's no more tears left to cry.
She remembered the screaming around her. The breaking of clay pots. The scorching and crackling sound of wood and hay burning down to ashes.
She remembered the gore of it all. The dead and the injured before her.
She covered her ears and forced her eyes shut. Just like what her mother told her to do if she got scared.
When silence had finally ruled over her surroundings, she stepped out of her hiding place. Shaking. Cloaked in fear and apprehension.
She came to an abrupt stop as she was greeted by a stomach-turning scene.
She froze from where she stood. Even her young mind could decifer that the bodies before her are all cold and lifeless.
Mom. Dad. Big brother.
Imagine the trauma of the child. She wanted to scream. But she lost her voice. She wanted to call out to them and say stop fooling around and wake up. No words were coming out from her mouth.
Only the river of tears were proof of her pain and agony. Of her loss.
She sat there limp and lifeless as if she were one of the departed. Dettached from the now. Just staring blankly.
Rin almost fell from her seat inside the carriage when Ah-un came to an abrupt stop. She could hear the restless gallops and neighs the herbivore is making.
She could hear heavy footsteps and rustling from the bushes.
They were ambushed.
A few seconds later came a strong thud on the carriage wall. That was Kohaku.
They were outnumbered.
And just like how she saw at the end of her dreams, the carriage door flap opened as a man of the wolf tribe appeared and grab her by the arm and said, "There you are princess."
The next thing she knew she was led to another carriage. There was no point in struggling. Not when a sharp knife's pointed at her throat. "Tie her up."
The leader shut the door rather harshly and ordered one of his subordinates. "And send word to lord Koga. We got her."
