"Lord Sesshomaru, this is Anaberu Rosu". Rin explained with enthusiasm. "I found her wounded in this field, just as I've met you some time ago".
Is this girl with him? She wondered, her joints still rigid as stones, her eyes dilated in awareness. When she has been following with Inuyasha's group, Annabelle has listened some tales about that proud subject standing in front of her, and if there was something pretty much talked about him it was his despise of human kind.
Sesshomaru's features didn't move a single muscle, those thin lips kept sealed straight, his whitish eyebrows remained carved as marble, unmoving upon his narrow and profound eyes which didn't deviate from her not even for a second, capturing every single detail of the object they were glaring.
"I swear lord Sesshomaru, I have nothing to do with this! Your lordship are aware of Rin's naughtiness, she loves these little escapades. When I arrived in here, she was already on the company of this weird woman" Jaken made his desperate report on his knees.
"The weirdo are you with this toad face and funny accent of yours!" Annabelle could be frightened as hell, and yet she spontaneously scolded him, for if there was anything that would make she lose her temper it was that kind of commentary about her looks. She was seriously done of hearing people calling her "weird", "strange", "freak" since her feet touched that lands' ground for the first time. Rin, on the other side, couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, well, I have never seen a female human with fire on the hair and water in the eyes!" The little yokai teased, crossing his arms and lifting his nose.
"I rather have fire on my head and water in my eyes than look like a lizard" She arched one eyebrow in defiance. At that moment, it was like Anna has already forgot the "illustrious" presence between her and the amphibian, reptile or whatever that tiny yokai was.
"Jaken, Rin, we are leaving" Without a single commotion in his voice, Sesshomaru summoned his companions, turning his back and beginning to walk.
"But, lord Sesshomaru, we can't just leave her alone in this place!" Rin interceded. "Look at her, she's hurt" She pointed to the lass arms, the blood of the wounds has already dried, Her waist was also marked by some injuries.
"Oh..." Annabelle finally understood the girl's intentions. "No, no, no!" She waved her hands in denial. "I appreciate your concern, little one, but I can get by". And staying close of this frigid yokai that almost killed me once? No way!
"Please miss, at least spend this night with us" Rin held one of her hands into the two of hers and smoothed it. "Lord Sesshomaru, may she could stay with us till the next morning. Can she?" Her brownish eyes blinked and glimmered pleadingly, then the child bowed to her protector.
"Caileag bheag" Annabelle first said, then sighed while massaging her forehead. The anxiety was so big that she had spoken in her native language. "Little girl" The Scottish lass corrected herself. "I fear you're not listening to me"...
"Oh no, lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken's protest has interrupted her though.
Their leader stared at them over the fur on his shoulder, and without saying a word he resumed to look ahead and walk.
"Yey!" The child said, celebrating.
"How do you know he has agreed?" Annabelle widened her eyes.
"Come with us, miss Anaberu Rosu!" She took her by the hand, pulling it, inducing her to walk.
"Listen, even so, I..." The White Rose would deny her offer again, however a buzzing resounded nearby and she raised her sight looking for it's origin. There it was a flying Saimyosho. Naraku was observing her. If I stay alone in here, vulnerable as I am, he will chase after me as soon as he gets better. A chill ran through her belly while a remembrance of Kagome's arrow reaping his chest has pulsed within her mind. He had it coming! She took a deep breath, trying to not let herself give in to the tempting whispers coming from that shard underneath her skin. "Alright then, just one night" at last, Anna ceased to resist Rin's offer and followed by the girl's side.

So now, instead of trying to kill her, will Sesshomaru shelter Annabelle? Although he was chuckling, there was anger and bitterness in his sight, focused on Kanna's mirror beside him.
Naraku was laying upon a futon, his room exhaling the acidness of his youki and his devious thoughts as well. A scorching sensation has been causing him a tremendous discomfort, making the hanyo feels an immeasurable rage and something more... it was a sentiment he wasn't able to define, although he knew it should be more than just frustration for his frail attempt on manipulating the red-haired woman.
Kagura came inside the gloomy locus, some centipede, spider and scorpions yokai were following her. Immediately, her master's injured thorax opened a gap and it quickly sucked those creatures.
"Is that how you heal your wounds? Gross! " The Wind Sorceress turned her face in disgust.
"Here" He took a strand of his hair off "I want you to send one of my puppets after them" The hanyo demanded, not giving any importance to her frivolous comment.
"Alright, so be it!" Kagura shook her relaxed shoulders, not caring much about the matter till she gazed at her sister's mirror and got surprised by the scene reflected in there. She is with him?!

"So you have crossed the sea on your travels?!" Rin's eyes were shinning in astonishment while she was helping Annabelle to clean the cuts on her arms. The two of them were resting her backs by the side of a big dragon with two heads. Ahead, was Sesshomaru sitting under a tree, his features graced by the light of a fire pit. His fateful greenish subject was laying upon the scaled loin and at this hour he was already sleepy, yet his curiosity about the stories being told by Anna was keeping him awake.
"Yes, I did travel in big ships, sometimes I feared the caravel would sink in the middle of the route because of the waves, one bigger than another, shaking the masts..." Annabelle shivered remembering that times. "Well, at least such troubled journeys would always lead me to amazing cities and villages, there was always the beauty of diversity for me to contemplate. So many different people at the same place"...
"I have never seen the sea" The little girl sighed, her imagination leading her to a far away state. "is there many people like you on the other side of the world"?
"What do you mean"?
"Like this" Rin gently caught a lock of her coppery hair. "With those light hair and eyes".
"Oh" Anna chuckled. "Yes, little one. There are people with light, dark hair, there are eyes of many shapes and colors, countless skin tones"...
"And the clothes?" The child touched one of the roses embroidered on Belle's skirt.
"There are all the types of garments you can imagine" She tenderly smiled, caressing Rin's head. "Now, it's a bit late for so much talking, by this time, bonny little girls should be dreaming, you know" then she playfully squeezed Rin's nose and they both laughed.
"I think I'll dream of all these castles and people" Rin said while stretching her arms. She would lay upon Arurun's rigid loin, beside Jaken like she was used and never had seen a problem with, however the girl saw Annabelle adjusting her dress and then offering her lap. Rin's cheeks got blushed, yet she has shown a big emotive smile adorning her face.
"Lay down here, I'll sing you a song from my homeland".
"Thank you, miss Anaberu Rosu" She timidly rested her head over the lass' legs.
So, while stroking the child's dark, straight hair, the ginger outsider took a deep breath and then started her humble serenade. In a soft, velvet timbre Belle has sang a calm, nostalgic song. Rin's eyes at first have been stubborn to close, yet they fell into tiredness at the end. Jaken fell asleep with a silly smile on his face.
Sesshomaru lifted his gaze to the treetop above, observing it's leaves dancing in the rhythm of the song. He rested his head on the wooden trunk and sealed his eyelids for a moment, concentrating on the sound of music in consonance with noises of falling leaves and howling melancholy winds. He opened his precious golden pools slowly, just to stare at the woman who was cradling his little Rin upon her lap. Although the stranger's dress was dirty and tattered, it's fancy fabric and embroideries were proving it's nobility.
The forest was dark and the flame between them was gradually fading, however, the woman's body was discretely glowing, embraced by an eburnum light.
At the last note of the song, Annabelle ceased to look at the asleep girl to finally stare the daiyokai analyzing her. She waited for some word coming through his mouth, but nothing happened . Silence was his speech.
"I thought you would try to kill me, just as you did before" If he wasn't going to start an interaction, she took the first step to initiate a kind of conversation.
Sesshomaru's aurum globes, before glaring her visage, have turned to face the darkness of the night ahead of them.
"Why are you wandering around with a human child if you despise our kind?" She changed the subject. Not a single whisper left his lips. So, Annabelle sighed and decided to change her approaching. "My, my... how talkative you are! Couldn't you please stop talking, if only for an instant?" After such mockery, she has released a discrete laugh, low enough to not wake the child nestled over her lap. At last, Inuyasha's emotionless brother turned to face her.
"You are Naraku's mate" it wasn't a question.
"What? Of course not!" It came so spontaneously that she wasn't able to control her voice's volume. After such brief hysterical attack, Anna covered her mouth and became motionless, worried about Rin and Jaken's slumber. Luckily, none of them had awoken. "I am not his mate" She murmured.
"His scent is permeated all over your body" the daiyokai said naturally, as it was a frivolous matter.
Anna knew what he has meant, so her hands rubbed her wounded arms, while she was embracing herself. A short memory passed through her confused mind like a beam of light. It was she voraciously sitting upon the inertial body of the spider hanyo. Annabelle moaned a lament and touched nervously her paler cheeks.
"Did he force you?" There, for the first time, Sesshomaru has shown a glimpse of curiosity.
"I don't know..." She admitted in a dizzy sough. I don't remember.
You have betrayed me. She recalled Hitomi's bitter statement, which she had thought to be something about her moments with Naraku in the woods and the cave. Yet, in the present Anna couldn't help but wonder if he has been mentioning something she had done when that Shikon shard was numbing her senses. Those summer blue skies orbs wished to let the storm forming inside of them pour, but Annabelle contained it bravely. First, there was the memento of her almost reaping her sister's life, and then that disconnected images of Naraku under her body, their gathered warmth. She started to wonder if her tormentor had finally achieved what he wanted, and her conscience pounded in pain.
The quietness fell sovereign between them once more, and that was how they have spent the night. After their fleeting dialogue, there was just one more time when Sesshomaru said Annabelle a word, after the passing hours, noticing the lass had been struggling to stay awake. "Worry not, woman. I have no interest on killing you. Sleep".
Her answer was a brief, bitter chuckle. If only he knew the real reason behind her reluctance on sleeping...
To dream was her greatest misfortune. Nevertheless, the White Rose was human, and at some point of any madrigal hour, her eyes did surrender.
To be continued...
