The unexpected daughter

16

Nina's POV

Not long after retrieving my fan swords we headed out in search of Naraku with Sesshomaru naturally taking the lead, I followed close behind my instincts on high alert as I tried to sense any enemies nearby, but sadly my subconscious kept bringing my thoughts to Sesshomaru.
I keep trying to figure out why he is so kind to me? It can't be that I'm special to him could it? I shake my head at the thought,
that's ridiculous it's probably just because I helped save Rin.

Suddenly I was jolted out of my thoughts when I walked into Sesshomaru not realizing he had stopped.
" we shall rest here."
I nodded and sat down by a tree. Resting already that's odd, I thought but shrugged it off.
Looking over at Rin I got an idea.

Standing up I called Rin over.
"Rin I think you should learn to fight."
Rin nodded excitedly as I smiled softly.
"Ok Rin first I'm going to hand you one of my fans, see how it opens, now I'm not going to show you how to release the blades till your ready."
Rin nodded and took the fan it was pretty large for her small frame but would work fine.
"Ok now the key is to have your movements be graceful, imagine the fan as an extension of yourself."
I stepped away from her and started to move to the music in my mind slicing the air from time to time.
"Ok now you try."

Her movements were choppy but she will improve with time. I leaned against the tree as I watched her keep trying to move gracefully. Chuckling every now and again. I remember my mother teaching me the same way when I was a bit younger than Rin.

Sesshomaru's POV

I noticed that Nina was lost in her own thoughts but remember her wounds on her back. I really should stop and let her rest some more.
I Stopped suddenly to tell Nina of my plan but she must not have noticed because she walked into me. "We shall rest here." I stated hoping the concern was not in my voice. She nodded and walked away.
Hmm I really should patrol the area it would be bad if something were to happen while she is injured. After making sure that all lesser demons were gone I made my way back to camp only to see Nina and Rin going through movements with her fans, she is absolutely beautiful when she moves with those fans and she truly treats Rin like she is her daughter, maybe she would stay if  given the choice.
