~ First sorry for the late update! I was overseas. J I am working on the following chapter as I post this. This is a fight scene chapter. I know is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is necessary. Next chapter will be much more interesting! ~
It was finally here! The first day of the Seikatsu Festival had arrived and that afternoon Rin would come face to face with her first challenge. She sat in the middle of the knoll, but not relaxing. Rin's nerves were all jumbled, she was running out of time. The kingdom had been so loud with music and preparation that she hardly slept, and had no time to think of Sesshomaru. Their kiss seemed so distant now, and she was constantly craving more of them.
She kneeled over a boulder, rubbing a round rock over a dry blood red flower. While she rubbed, the flower began disintegrating into a reddish dust that created a small cloud over her hand. She wore her filter mask over her face and she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand with the rock still in tow. Next to her were brass knuckles, bandages and a pair of gloves, they were all thrown lazily against the green grass and next to a mysterious white sack. Her demon slayer suit that once had the entire back missing, had been put back together by Yuna and it looked just like the first day she wore it. She was embraced with warm memories of her loved ones.
"Rin! That stinks!" She heard Yuna call from down the knoll. She couldn't see her, but her disgusted squeal was enough to let her know that she could smell the potent dust of the Bloodflower. She had seen Kohaku and Sango use it to trap demons.
"You have my boots?!" Rin yelled forcing her voice out of her mask. Putting the rock down she began to scrape all the dust from the boulder with a thick leaf into a little black satchel. She lifted it from the top and shook it as the dust settled, "Don't come up unless you have the filter mask, alright? I have blood dust all over the place."
"Are you sure it's safe to be near that?" Yuna asked. Her voice was muffled as well as she tentatively approached Rin with black boots in tow.
"As long as you don't inhale the dust you are fine." Rin informed as she finished scraping all the dust from the boulder, smeared traces of red would be its permanent mark from now on. She was happy that she learned a bit of herbalism with Lady Kaede. The past days were spent in the open castle towns finding just the right materials to put everything she needed together. She was planning on fighting Suikito with all she had and for that she had to be well prepared. Bloodflower's lose their potency the moment they are turned into dust so the last minute prep was inevitable. Feeling the satchel was full she placed it next to another one that was fat with blood dust.
Rin stood up meeting Yuna half-way. Her eyes went directly to the boots that she carried, "Are those it?" She smiled excitedly as Yuna nodded and handed to them. Rin stared at the thick sole, they looked like normal boots to her.
"There is small button by the side of the heel, clack them together," she instructed. Rin clicked them and the tip of a dagger came out of the heel of the right boot, sharp and fast.
She was ready!
"Are you sure you're up to it, Rin?" Yuna's worried tone could be heard through the mask, "It is not too late to decide otherwise."
Rin dropped to the floor and began shoving her socked feet into her new boots, "I am not backing down" she told her as she moved her feet from side to side, adjusting the footwear. She stood up and grabbed Yuna's hand, her chocolate eyes were fully open now and all that remained from Suikito's last beating was a small purple swell under her eye. Yuna knew that she would have to do a lot more healing after today, and she was scared that Rin would be seriously hurt.
Rin squeezed her hand, "Please don't worry. I plan on doing my very best, win or lose!"
"Win or lose" Yuna repeated with as much determination as she, "Kick that cocky bastard's ass."
Rin made her way to the dueling arena, not knowing what to expect. She was nervous and she wasn't going to pretend and try to hide it, it was the first time she dueled someone in front of others. She knew Yuna was praying for her and the fact that Yuna was praying, made Rin even more nervous. What type of duels took place in the Sacred Arena that made Yuna behave this way? Either way she was going to find out. The kingdom resounded with music and drums, people laughed and set up food carts, stages, she had never seen the kingdom so lively like today. The smell of yummy food invaded her senses and if Rin came out alive…she was going to taste all of it.
A small thump of momentary fear overtook her and made a lump in her throat. The more she walked, the more reality began setting in, but her Kusarigama hummed against her as if it attempted to tell her that everything was going to be fine, and she smiled, as the vibration of the scythes moved across her hips like gentle caresses. She pulled on her gloves and took a deep breath, the gloves were nice and snug and not uncomfortable despite the fact that under them she had brass knuckles bandaged in place, her weak spots protected by her demon plates. Her boots felt heavy with every step. In the space between her calf and boot she had hidden her secret weapon, just in case. No matter how far they seemed to move from the main castle, people still roamed and even seemed to increase. They passed a minor wooden bridge and then she began to see it. The Sacred Arena.
Yuna watched Rin as they got nearer. She had never seen her as beautiful as she was now, determination maturing her innocent features and her brown eyes flickering with such intensity. Her ponytail flew behind her like a long wavy cape as they continued on. She just hoped that Suikito wasn't planning anything. The sound of drums and indistinct yelling began overtaking their senses, but nothing was enough to distract Rin. She tried to focus on the hit to the stomach Suikito had given her, how terribly painful it had been. She couldn't keep her food down for two whole days because of it. That is what she was going to focus on...all he had taught her, she will use it against him.
Yuna had said virtually everyone would be there but she didn't think that it would really be that many. They appeared to be people from other castle towns, their commoner clothing contrasted completely from the aristocrats that sat on the stone seating that extended up in layers. The separation between them was obvious. Rin passed through the crowd of children, men and women. The place was utterly packed. She continued to move between them, squeezing against their bodies, some avoiding the sharp blades at her hips, other scrutinizing her. Their whispers were almost immediate.
Is that her?
She is a goner for sure!
Rin gulped as she made it to the front and saw the stone stage. She was stunned by the way it was smeared red with what looked like old, dried blood. It was everywhere! Like murder scene come to life. The gray stone could hardly be seen. It was there when Rin saw Suikito. He pirouetted up in the air, making a cannonball in midair. He landed with his bare feet on the bloody arena. The demons from the castle towns howled and yelled in enjoyment. He was shirtless and the gleams of the setting sun shun over his muscular, sweaty body. His silk scarlet hakama hung low under his navel, traces of those shimmering waves peeking against his skin. He continued showing off his moves, completely enjoying the attention, which was nothing surprising to her. He tightened his ponytail and stared over at his opponent and Rin didn't avoid his gaze like the first time she had arrived to his kingdom. He winked at her as the whispering began instantaneously again.
Is that who Lord Suikito is fighting? No way!
T-that's a human girl!
She ignored their snickers and gossip and stepped on to the arena floor, like an animal ready for slaughter. Azusa stared at the human with scorn from the high of her stone seat. Her cobalt eyes fierce over an unaware Rin.
From where Yuna found a place and sat, she could see Rin pace towards Suikito. Rin removed her weapon from her hips and her scythes elongated in her grasp along with a gasp of the crowd. Suikito clapped his palms together as if in prayer and a demonic air burst around him while from his palms he pulled out an enormous golden trident. The commoner crowed went crazy with excitement as the aristocrats who filled the stone seats just watched attentively. Suikito spun his golden trident around his fingers effortlessly and approached Rin,
"I give you a chance to back out, Rin."
You better do it girl! She heard someone yell.
He smiled at her. There was a hardness in his features today, or was she just imagining? She could've sworn that it wasn't the easy going demeanor that she was now accustomed too. I didn't matter though. Today they were enemies.
"No way am I giving you such pleasure."
He laughed. "You know nothing of what gives me true pleasure, Rin." He eyed her salaciously with such a penetrating cerulean gaze that she had to let out a deep breath.
An old demon stood by the aristocrat side of the arena. He wore a shimmering printed kimono the color of the sea. Behind him was a hefty gong with the sea dragon emblem. The moment he spoke, the chatter ceased. His voice was unnaturally loud and cavernous that it muted the sound of the drums.
"This duel will now begin. Children, hand me your weapons."
Rin frowned, gripping the hilts of her scythes defensively. What?
Seeing her confusion she caught Suikito's grin, "You didn't think it would be that easy, now did you?"
She followed him as they both bowed towards the old demon and placed their weapons down on either side of the gong. The old man's hair was so white that it reminded Rin of snow. His face was layered with wrinkles. From his kimono he took out a small ceremonial pot. He went to Rin first and Suikito remained bowed. The old demon's eyes were white too! With a protruding deepness behind them that she felt as if she was going to get sucked in. She looked down at her booted feet.
Dipping his thumb inside the tiny stone pot, he pressed his red thumb on Rin's forehead, "Acceptance of life and death. We celebrate with the living and those who are now gone."
He went to Suikito and did the same. Whispering the same words. Then he pressed his thumb on his forehead as Suikito whispered something under his breath. Taking back his place, the duelers did so as well.
"We are not taking life in this duel today" He began. The ceremonial pot disappeared into his kimono, "The duel will come to its end when the winner has the blade on your throat and has drawn your blood. Your blood becoming one with the land and all the ancestors that have bled before it."
That is when Rin realized that where she stood was indeed the blood of others.
Rin shook her hands beside her, trying to mentally prepare herself. Ignoring the minor fear that she might have bit more than she could chew. She stood there breathing deeply as Suikito who seemed completely unfazed, yawned and stretched. Should she attack first? Where would be the best place to hit him, she scanned him slowly trying to figure out where his weakest spot might be. She had concentrated so hard that when the old demon was in front of her once more, she almost screamed.
"Since you are in disadvantage child, take this"
He handed her thick metal rod. She took it happily. Yuna wasn't kidding. This was intense. There was going to be blood on this floor. There had too. She thought about Lord Sesshomaru. How she wished he was here. Did she want him to see her?
Hit him in the stomach with the rod, or his head?
The sound of the gong echoed as Rin squeezed the rod with both hands, sweat pasting her bangs to her forehead. She felt clammy, sick to her stomach, and it gave Rin no chance to react when Suikito rushed at her with an immeasurable speed and backhanded her with a strong hand that sent Rin flying across the bloody arena, she heard the bang of her rod somewhere as she skidded across the bloody floor, her face stung, and her nose began to bleed. She dug the front of her boots against the floor and the demon plates that covered her elbows scraped as she tried to cover her fall. The mumbles droned around them. Her chin had scraped against the floor as she began panting in complete surprise. That bastard! She looked up for an instant, she had landed right by the stone seats where the aristocrats were and she met with a similar cobalt gaze. Azusa smiled down at her, something ominous in her look. Gratification.
"Rin watch out!" She heard Yuna yell.
Rin turned swiftly and dodged Suikito's stomp. She rolled over as he continued stomping ferociously, aiming towards her face. She needed to get up off the floor quickly! His heavy foot missed her face by an inch and she managed to grab it and pull it towards her, picking herself up from the ground. She side-glanced trying to find the metal rod as she attempted to twist his foot, but lunging himself up with his other one he threw himself up in the air removing himself from Rin's grasp.
Rin felt his blow to side of her head as he flung her to the other side. She felt like she bounced over the ground, her vision blurred as her head hit the stone. Blood pooled in her mouth, irony and warm, and she was overcome with biting rage. The crowd cheered at him. She struggled to get up. He raised his hands up in the air like when someone finishes a show. Rin spit her blood on the ground and wiped her bloody nose with the back of her hands and dashed towards him.
He was so cocky that he didn't even see it coming when Rin's fortified punch hit him right in the jaw. She wished she could send him flying as he had sent her, but that punch managed to push him back a couple of steps. He gave her that shrewd smile, surprised at her intent, at the anger that made her brown eyes spark. He began throwing punches her way and each time, she was able to dodge and duck his strong fist. She hit his naked stomach without eliciting a single grunt. His hardened muscles like hitting a boulder. She shuddered in ire.
"You seem angry sweet, sweet Rin." He laughed as he darted her kicks and blows. Her boot made contact with the side of his face making him stumble back, and when she attempted another kick he grabbed her from her feet and rotated her. She moved her body at the direction he twisted and kicked him in the jaw again, the corner of his lip burst open as he staggered back a few feet.
Her fists were still in the air defensively over her face when he felt his wound with the tip of his tongue and egged her on with the crook of his long finger. She ran at him throwing hits as quick and swift as she could and just as she touched his face again, he took her feet from under her and she landed face down on the bloody ground. She was unaware that Lord Sesshomaru was already there until she met eyes with him. His powerful golden gaze was locked on her and Jaken's worried expression was too. When had they arrived?
Her head was jerked back when Suikito sat on her back and grabbed a fistful of her hair and with a sharp claw traced the length of her neck, "I am so happy, Lord Sesshomaru joined the party." He told her as he pulled her head back farther and above him she met with Azusa blistering eyes, her smile spiteful.
"You see my sister likes seeing you in pain, but not just physically, so I am going to degrade you Rin." He whispered in her ear this time.
Rin began to struggle trying to get him off her, but he pulled her hair tighter and the more she squirmed, the tighter he pulled. She hissed in pain as he continued,
"Lord Sesshomaru's going to pay for humiliating my sister, and as a good little brother, I am going to avenge her honor, by hurting you." She didn't see that wide smile splitting his face, "and although I am grateful he took out of her engagement, I am afraid it is not enough. By the time you get out of here you are going to be bloody, and naked and you are going to wish you had never accepted my challenge."
His menacing voice shook her. He stood up pulling her up from her hair to her feet as she elbowed him and clapped her heels together and kicking back she struck him with the dagger that ripped through his hakama and through his flesh as he let her go with a quiet grunt.
Rin darted back and kept her distance.
"You trained me just to humiliate me?!" She asked with seething fury simmering through her. His blood spilled on the ground, but he didn't seem injured, or even seem to notice. Aside from anger, Rin felt dismayed, "I thought we were friends" She said in disbelief.
Friends? For a second her words caught him off guard. Rin took the chance to grab the metal rod and pointed at him as he began to walk towards his blood seeping down towards his clawed feet.
"How naïve of you. Why would I be friends with a human?" He hurried towards her, his claws outstretched, and she swung the pole around, aiming for his smug face, but he sidestepped and his claws struck the side of her stomach, taking the material of the demon slayer suit along with him. Long welts bled against her naked skin.
Rin ignored the pain and pivoted, sprinting towards him, resentment and disappointment fueling her. She'll be damned, if she allowed that lecher to leave her naked in front of the entire kingdom. She kicked him first, her ire making her aim the dagger of her boot towards him, and he blocked it, giving her the opening to hit him as hard as she could across his face with the rod. She saw his head jerk to the side as he spitted blood, but her satisfaction was short-lived because all it did was piss him off and he swiftly landed behind her. She turned to strike again, but he already had her by the neck. She thrashed against him, her feet kicking him, the dagger slicing over his abdomen but still he didn't budge. His claws dug and broke the skin. He yanked the rod from her hand and threw it as far as he could. Rin felt her air begin to constrict as he lifted her up from her neck. He was huge. That is when the panicked realization hit her. Suikito was massive and he was going to kill her. In front of everyone! Rin began wheezing when she couldn't feel the floor under her. Panic began setting in her as she clutched and clawed his forearms, his cobalt eyes darkly watched her. The deep blue markings under his eyes becoming serrated. A hint of regret flashed minutely over his face but Rin didn't notice. He seemed to stare over at his sister, but Rin didn't focus as she became aware at how the claw from his free hand began slicing open her suit from her thighs, she shrieked against him, as he opened the skin in the process. Even so, Rin continued to fight.
"My lord. We need to help Rin!" Jaken exclaimed standing up on his feet, waving his staff in the air in desperation. His master shut him down and sat him down with a forceful yank.
"This was Rin's choice. Let her deal with the consequences of her actions." Lord Sesshomaru stated, but even as he attempted to seem nonchalant, Jaken saw the way his fist balled against his lap.
Almost, almost, Rin exclaimed in her mind as she brought her leg up only to have it shoved back down by Suikito. Still holding her tight from her neck he ripped the sleeves of her demon suit, he yanked the sleeve along with her scent bracelet. She saw the beads scatter across the floor and she began to feel her body go limp. In a last attempt, before she passed out, she brought her leg up as Suikito told her, "Your dagger can't help you, and I am not letting you go…..unless you forfeit." She stared over at the cuts over his abs. Almost! Her finger dug in to the black satchel inside her boots as she began to blackout.
"What should I remove next?" Suikito asked her, loosening his grip for an instant.
Got it!
She squeezed a handful of blood dust as he attempted to pull her suit entirely open. Rin uttered his name raspingly and he looked right at her when she blew the scarlet dust on his face. The blood dust entered his system like a million needles over his skin and burned his throat with a scorching pain.
He dropped Rin who landed on the floor with her feet under her and she coughed and held her bleeding throat. They no longer heard the crowd, it was just them two.
"You little bitch!" He snarled. His chest began heaving, and his eyes began getting bloodshot. He sped toward her but he could only see shadows. Guttural sounds escaped his mouth as Rin sidestepped and punched him across his face. She continued delivering heavy blows until she couldn't punch anymore.
The gong sounded once, and then again and her weapon was thrown to her. Still gagging, Suikito achieved in grabbing his weapon and swirled his trident around.
Rin stiffened the chains of her scythes and with no time to loose she attacked him first. Their weapons collided with each other while Suikito blinked, painful tears rolled down his eyes, as he attempted to keep his eyes open.
"Not so smug now." Rin hoarse voice told him as he answered with a deep growl. She had never seen Suikito so livid. Instead of scaring her, it made her utterly content. Their weapons clanged against each other with such force that they both were pushed back. He pressed the trident hard against her, sliding her back even as she placed her entire weight on her Kusarigama. Clacking her boots together she kicked him away, the dagger lodging by his knee. He screamed out this time falling hesitantly in one knee.
"You wench!" He slurred between clenched teeth, unable to understand why the pain was feeling unbearable now when before he felt almost nothing.
"Bloodflower dust heightens your nerve system. So if you didn't feel pain before, now you will." She explained a smile lifting the corner of her lips. She saw his neck, her goal, as he narrowed his eyes up at her with wrath. She aimed the blade of her scythe towards him. Just enough to draw blood. She thought to herself, but even though Suikito couldn't see, he wouldn't give up that easy. He jumped away from her, with all his effort landing behind her. He needed to finish this fast. Charging towards each other, the match continued as Suikito faltered and with a swift exchange….. It was over.
Panting heavily, her neck moved away from the sharp trident that poked against her. She felt her warm blood trickle over her.
Suikito was on one knee panting just as severely, the arm that held the trident against Rin neck shook, and all he could see was Rin's blade right under his chin, his blood sliding down its sharp edge. It was then that Suikito noticed the demonic power from it, swirling around him.
The gong thundered.
"It's a draw!"
The sound of the gong continued to resound around them even as they had retrieved their weapons. The cheers resounding with just as much fury. Yuna couldn't believe it! She did it! She tied!
Rin stared over at Lord Sesshomaru who stared at her with what seemed pride in his eyes. She smiled at Jaken who jumped around in excitement. Lord Sesshomaru glanced over her exposed thigh, the long cut over that tender flesh, her sleeve missing, and the curve of the side of her stomach with that waterdogs claw marks. Her beautiful flawless skin, that neck he had kissed so eagerly, tainted in blood. Her scent overrun by her wounds.
Rin lowered to grab her tattered sleeve from the ground and wiped the tip of her weapon and shrinking it, she wrapped it around her hips. Suikito stood, disbelief etched in his face. He couldn't believe he had tied. With a human nonetheless.
"Good job, children. The duel is now over. Your ancestors appreciate your blood offerings." the old demon said.
Quickly Yuna hurried to her, with her arms spread wide. She hugged Rin snugly, "Oh Rin! You did such a good job. Let's take care of those wounds!"
Rin smiled broadly as they passed and ignored the commoners that had already surrounded Suikito. He moved wearily past them and called out Rin's name. Rin turned, both women glaring at him with just cause. He deserved it.
He extended his hand towards her, his arm still shaking, the muscles on his chest spasming. The pain beginning to subside. He had his good deals of cuts as well. His clouded, bloodshot eyes seemed to regard her with remorse.
Rin couldn't believe his nerve!
"Good match, Rin." The smooth voice of his sounded rough, and strangely deep.
Rin looked at his hand with contempt and she stared up into his eyes, "Don't ever come near me again, Suikito."
She walked away from him, leaving him with his outstretched hand. Shock made him draw his eyebrows together, or perhaps hurt as Yuna shook her head disappointedly at him as well and left him there.
Rin called out Lord Sesshomaru name as he began leaving the arena, he turned towards her, his golden eyes viewing her with a softness she had never seen. Almost as if she was never going to see him again…. Dread entered Rin, but she didn't have the chance to think about it when she was frozen in place by an all too familiar voice.
"You were amazing Rin!"
Rin turned speedily unable to believe her ears, to see Kohaku with a bright smile on his face. He stood just a few feet away with his brown hair flowing in the wind. It was really him! She was so delighted to see him that she ran towards him with her arms extended in a ready hug. She laughed with happiness as Kohaku gathered her in his arms, careful of her wounds, and whirled her around. Laughter intermingled between the both of them. He raised her up from her hips, as she cupped his face, "Is it really you?"
"It's me. Now let's get you cleaned up." He smiled. Showing her his white teeth, his friendly grin just as she remembered…
