Chapter Twenty-Two
“Rin-chan,” Kagome greeted, going to the little girl.
Rin hopped down from the top of the small hill and met her
at the bottom.
“Rin picked flowers for Kagome-sama,”
she said, offering the bouquet of wildflowers.
Kagome
accepted them and put them to her nose. “Thank you, Rin.
They’re lovely.”
“Where is
he?” he demanded, going over to them. “Where’s my brother?p>
‘He has to be around here somewhere.
His scent is fresh…’
“Sesshoumaru-sama brought Rin here
then he went away. Rin is to stay with you until Sesshoumaru-sama comes for her.”
‘Huh? He dropped the kid off with us?
What the fuck is that alout?out?’
“Oooooh, who is that?” Rin asked as Kagome took Yukio out of the carrier on her
back.
Kagome cast
him a knowilanclance as they both realized the potential danger.
‘That damn wolf is one thing. Sesshoumaru is another. If he tries to take the pup…’
His hand
gripped Tessaiga tightly, his senses on full alert
and he placed himself in a defensive position.
He saw
Kagome sit down next to Rin with Yukio in her lap.
Her face , bu, but her body tense.
‘She’s trying not to upset the pup
or the girl.’
“This is
Yukio.”
Rin giggled. “He looks just like Inuyasha-sama!”
“Yes, he
does. That’s because he’s an inu-hanyou, just like
Inuyasha.”
“Is he your
baby, Kagome-sama?”
Kagome
smiled and shook her head. “No. Yukio is an orphan, but Inuyasha and I have
adopted him.”
“Oooo! Like SeE>Sesshoumaru-sama
and Rin. Rin is an orphan
too…” Her little face grew sad and forlorn. “Bandits killed Rin’s
family. She was all alone until she found Sesshoumaru-sama
in the forest.”
Kagome
nodded. “Rin-chan, do you know why Sesshoumaru-sama brought you here?”
The little
girl nodded, her dark eyes wide with fear. “Sesshoumaru-sama said Rin would
be safe here. Bad people are trying to take Sesshoumaru-sama’s
land away.”
‘So someone is threatening the Western
Lands, eh? That’s why he brought the whelp here. To get her
out of the battle zone.’
“Bad people?” Kagome repeated.
RlE>Rin nodded. “But Sesshoumaru-sama
is great and powerful. He will defeat them and come back for me.”
‘I wonder who’d be stupid enough to attack
him in his own kingdom. Those damn neko-youkai
said they’d go back where they came from and not return. Maybe they changed
their minds.’
“Sesshoumaru-sama was bringing Rin
to Inuyasha-sama’s village, but then he brought Rin here instead.”
“He
probably smelled the den. Our scents are all over this place,” he explained. ‘Would our scents be enough to cover the pup’s? His scent is still faint. Sesshoumaru
wouldn’t lower himself to crawl into a den and we haven’t been here for five
days. He might not have smelled him.’
“How long
have you been waiting for us, Rin?” Kagome asked,
casting him a glance.
He shook
his head slightly, silently telling her that he didn’t sense his brother
nearby.
“Rin has been here since this morning.”
‘Shit. He has to be close by. There is no
way he would just leave her here and not make sure she was with us. But where
the fuck is he?’
The wind
shifted and he caught the scent almost too late. He whirled around and nearly
drew Tessaiga as the figure of his half-brother came
into view.
“Inuyasha. It is fitting for a half-breed such as yourself to live in a hole in the ground,” his elder brother
commented disdainfully. “This place reeks of you and the human female. Did the
villagers finally come to their senses and cast you out?”
“Keh! This is where we come to get
away from them!” he countered. ‘Still an arrogant asshole.’
Sesshoumaru’s eyes fell on Yukio and the cold gaze froze
him to the core. He saw Kagome clutch the pup close, her own eyes full of worry
and fear.
“What is
that?” the inu-youkai asked in a hard voice.
He drew Tessaiga and brandished it, ignoring Rin’s
scream.
“You stay
away from them.”
“So… the
half-breed has taken a mate. I am surprised a miko of
her power lowered herself to breed with you.”
“Hey! I’m
not lowering myself,” Kagome snapped back indignantly.
‘I love the girl’s guts, but she
never did know when to back down. Then again, she’s always stood up to Sesshoumaru and he’s never killed her…’
He saw Sesshoumaru take a deep sniff and narrow his eyes.
“The whelp
is not yours.” It was a statement, not a question.
