After a few instants, Sesshomaru returned to the place where his little group was gathered. Jaken was yawning, his back resting against Arurun. Rin and Annabelle were laughing of some joke they had just invented, sitting by the fire pit they had lightened.
At last, having a glimpse of the two females having fun, he ceased his walking and stared at the constellations above, little white sparks reflected into those solene golden orbs. The Scottish lass stopped laughing as soon as she saw him there, the wind waving his long, straight silver hair. So, Anna asked Rin to excuse her for a moment, and the girl, noticing the woman would talk to her dearest lord, just nodded in agreement. Jaken puffed and rolled his eyes.
The highlander reluctantly walked towards the daiyokai. Before she could reach his side he lowered his head and faced her. Annabelle hardly considered herself a shy person, yet that demon's behavior would always steal whatever attempt of a spontaneous gesture from her. So, she found herself anxious, all joints tensed as they were made of rigid stones. Under the long sleeves, her fingers were tightening. Annabelle inhaled deeply, for she didn't have lost all boldness yet. Her clumsy steps just stopped when she was in front of him, there courage returned and her face lifted up, making her eyes meet his.
"I just wanted to thank you, not only for the dress..." Anna paused and bit her lower lip. Why do I feel so nervous? And she sighed, choosing words to speak. "But also for bringing me with you all". Alright, this is it. She almost laughed of herself celebrating for being able to finish a simple sentence.
He hummed, rolling his eyes upon her delicate visage, graced by such fancy kimono. "It suits you well".
Was that a compliment? Her eyes widened and blinked several times. I think so. Then she showed him a thankful smile as brief as his words has been.
"That woman came to me, the halfbreed demon will not give up on you so easily" He spelled Naraku's kind with disdain, gazing at the endless firmament again.
"He never will" She affirmed harshly, her semblance growing paler as her eyes lowered to face the waving grass.
"It looks like Naraku desires you fervently" Was that curve on his lips a mockery smirk? It was so thin and discrete that she could never guess.
"He must have played some of his tricks on you too, and that must be the reason you tried to kill me that time, to smite him" Anna guessed, and Sesshomaru said nothing about the case, so she kept on, asking something that was just pounding in her conscience: "Why did you bring me with you?" The lass had to breath slowly before and even after speaking. Her hands rested together over her belly.
Sesshomaru turned his placid face, gazing discretely the little human who was playing to poke Jaken's cheek with a piece of grass. Such gesture from the daiyokai was an answer itself.
"She is a very special kid, you are lucky..." Finally, any trace of anxiety has faded and Annabelle smiled tenderly.
Those aurum eyes narrowed a bit, gleaming their care. As sensitive as Rin was, she spun her body and waved one arm to them, calling Anna back to their "nest".
"Excuse me, my lord" The woman bowed.
"Your shoes" He observed before she leaves.
"Ah, yes..." She looked at her own feet, wearing the usual leather brown boots. "I wasn't able to adapt to that kind of shoe" Annabelle was referring the sandals. "It was like my toes would slip through the strips" and she laughed, breaking the ice.
They have traded gazes one last time, Sesshomaru as serious as ever, and the ginger lass as friendly as she could be. And so the White Rose went back to the fire pit, sitting along with Rin. Their laughing endured by hours, until a grumpy Jaken cross his arms and get the new traveler companion's attention: "Hey, woman! Will you not sing?"
"Do you want me to sing you a lullaby?" She couldn't help but release a surprised giggle.
"Of course not!" He shook his little arms and the greenish face acquired a pinkish tone "It's just to make this girl sleep"! Jaken eyed Rin.
"Hmm, I see" Anna spoke in a teasing tone, while Rin was laughing without caring about Jaken's embarrassment. "Alright then, I'll sing for you" That said, she gave a little slap upon his hat, crumpling it a bit.
"Hey!" Jaken complained, arranging that little accessory on his head "Good!" then he answered her like he had any authority, while climbing the dragon of two heads so nervously that he almost slipped. Annabelle offered him help, and the proud greenish yokai denied. So, finally he got on Arurun's back and laid turned to the opposite side.
"Miss Anaberu..." Rin held Anna's sleeve and waved it softly. "Would you let me sleep over your lap, like last night"?
"Of course, little one! Come here..." She rested her back against the large scaled demon's ribs and opened her arms, then the girl laid upon her legs. Annabelle began to sing another Gaelic song from her motherland, that was when the daiyokai, once distant, came near and sat on the other side of the dancing flames.
Jaken secretly enjoyed the melody, smiling sillily as a sleepy little baby. The slumber embraced so softly not only him, but the lovely child also. Once more, there was only Sesshomaru and Annabelle awaken, both focused on the sky by most of the time, although sometimes the youkai would analyze her with those cold winter eyes, and she would just keep straight as a rock, even if she was shaking inside. What would he be thinking of? And did she care? Nighttime was the questionings hour, she was even wondering what has been her intuit in joining that group. Would it be just because of her abyssal fear to fall into Naraku's web again? One thing she knew though, accompanying Sesshomaru and his loyal vassals surely wouldn't last forever. Anna needed to get some safe distance from her tormentor, and Inuyasha's older brother was certainly more powerful than Naraku at the point that the arachnid didn't dare to show his face and has sent a puppet after her on his place.
No, it's not only that... The lass recalled an arrow piercing him, and her heart seemed to stop for an instant. Rigid to the bone, she lifted her head to the skies and her widened eyes watched the celestial lights spin, twirl, drawing lines that would mix themselves like luminous scribbles in the dark. In the end, I am still worried about that bastard. Her lips constricted in rage and remorse. Annabelle, how stupid you are! He doesn't care... Oh, but she wasn't certain of that! Suddenly, hidden memories began to pulse rough and tumble. Pictures of Naraku coming closer while she was fallen upon a wooden floor, a cruel hand putting a darkened shard into her bosom, and, at last, faded lines of a rainy day when the same despiteful creature took her to a cave and protected her from the cold painted a canvas before the eyes of the mind. Soon, emblematic words of his resounded like flashes, almost like a blow. There was something that wouldn't simply leave her ears, echoes of a speech Annabelle was almost sure she had listened, and still she was afraid of confusing it with a dream.
I have never seen nor shall see anything similar to you again. The remembrance of his deep, low timbre popped along with the feeling of his fingers passing through her orange hair, entwining the strands and then going down their length, holding one lock over her throbbing breast, all like it was happening now, and she could finally see his reddish eyes in details, the cloud veiling them, as it was covering the whole memory was gone once and for all, so their shapes became as clear as the sun, and they looked sad. The darkness falling from those small spheres of blood wasn't composed by hate, nor sadism, but grief.
The Scottish lass' heart ran frenetically, awakening Sesshomaru's curiosity, and she didn't even notice, for only her body was present in the current time, the rest of her remained locked inside her own mind, Anna couldn't see anything that was happening around, her very eyes were caught on a glimpse of a reminiscence. It was he taking over her thoughts, her obsession for Naraku was reaching such level that overcame the Jewel's shard's spell, making the woman remember what should remain forgotten. She could feel his snub nose tip rubbing softly against hers, she even sensed the warm breath scaping his mouth and invading her parted lips, and when she could almost feel the encounter of wet skins, at last Annabelle recalled the most hated and dearest words he had pronounced:
You will probably not remember any of it in a little while, so I see no reason for hiding it, you take over my senses, just as Kikyo does or even more. And that was her perdition. Anna would prefer to erase that revelation forever from her depths, as she would wish her spirit never had felt such heat, like it was in flames, for the knowledge of Onigumo's descendant being fallen only for Kikyo has turned into ashes. Annabelle found herself possessed by doubts, by rage, and by an irrational yearning of seeing Naraku again.
It must be this bloody shard! Her fingers rubbed her chest, above the skin which was keeping the piece of cursed glass, and then they started to scratch it, intending to cut the flesh and take that off, no matter what cost. A brief electrical discharge, almost imperceptible, made her hand move away for a little while. The woman snorted and began to drag her nails more violently over there, opening a shallow wound. Her eyes kept widened, opaque, dilated pupils aiming the sky of a splendid night, without really seeing it.
A hand firmly held her wrist.
Annabelle came out of her trance and finally noticed the daiyokai sitting by her side. She gasped, trembling. How did he get there so fast? The interrogation reflected into her stunned glare.
"You are hurting yourself" His fingers slowly loosened the grip around her wrist. Amber orbs fixated on her astonished semblance.
The turquoise eyes lowered to the bruised chest, seeing a superficial cut between her breasts, the shame she felt has been so oppressive that Anna preferred to look to the grass, concentrating to control her breathing. In time, her heart resumed to beat in it's usual rhythm. So, Sesshomaru gazed at Rin sleeping peacefully upon Annabelle's legs and looked relieved because she didn't awake. Seeing everything in order, he raised and walked back to the other side of the fire, there he sat, remaining on guard.
The western lass slid one palm over the tiny wound that almost didn't bleed. Her eyelashes sealed as her nape found rest over the reptilian Arurun's scales. She bravely fought against the sleep though, not willing to meet Kagewaki in her dreams and remember her enormous guilt. Annabelle and Sesshomaru ended up watching the sunrise together, yet she felt being analyzed by him in every sigh.
"Where will we go?" Not standing the silence, she asked reticent. However, before her quiet insomniac companion could utter anything, Rin stretched her arms high and opened her eyes.
"Good morning!" the child said vivaciously. In one gracious jump she was up, ready to live that day. "Lord Jaken, it's time to wake up" Rin climbed the dragon, kneeling beside the little yokai, shaking him.
"Oh, Rin, must you do that, really?!" He grumped while being awake in such a careless way.
Anna found herself laughing of that scene as Sesshomaru was announcing a succinct "come" to them, and so their pilgrimage restarted. They left the open meadow to get inside the dense forest, where sun rays trespassed between large leaves by the high tree tops, designing straight threads of light crossing the strict earth path. Rin noticed some little violaceous flowers adorning a large tree root nearby, so she went there and picked them up, just to bring the bunch to Annabelle.
"Oh, thank you, little Rin!" The lass smiled tenderly. Looking at them, she had an idea and shared some of the flowers with the child. "Do you know how to make a garland?" She asked.
"What is that?" Rin showed herself very curious, her widened eyes blinked in wonder.
"It's something that I and..." She would talk about her sister, but just gave it up. "that I used to do when I was a child" So Annabelle began to interlace the stems, making a delicate crown of flowers. Rin has watched very carefully her movements and just did the same.
"How beautiful!" The girl put that accessory over her own head. "Look, miss Anaberu, I'm a princess!" She spun.
"Your Highness" The woman bowed and pronounced herself with a theatrical funny voice.
Jaken, ahead of them, rolled his eyes and puffed in annoyance. For his grumpy attitude, Anna came closer stepping on her tiptoe, by his back, and just put the garland above the green yokai's head without he even notice. Sesshomaru looked at them by the corner of one eye, fixing his gaze mostly on the short loyal vassal.
"Oh, lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken widened his eyes, very tense. "Is there something wrong?" He realized where his master's gaze laid upon. "Is there something in my head?" Frightened, the little demon passed his fingers over his big rounded pate and caught that strange soft object surrounding his hat. "What is this?" He asked, glaring at the purple flowers diadem. Then Jaken listened some laughs from behind, turned himself and saw the two female human gossiping anything into each other ears while looking at him. "Oh, you two are driving me crazy!" His tongue hissed nervously between his teeth, making him sound like a snake.
"Oh, please, calm down lord Jaken" Annabelle leaned in front of the little creature and kissed his forehead. For some seconds, his yellow big orbs widened and tender sparkles of light gleamed inside of them, yet soon his face burned red. Jaken said any complain, and just passed out, falling rigid on the soil, making the girls laugh loudly again.
"Did you see his face?" Anna asked between some laughs, Rin nodded while arching her body ahead, with hands over knees, laughing so hard that her cheeks got pink.
"Keep walking" Sesshomaru called them from afar, his timbre sounding a bit impatient. They fastened the step, Anna was slower than Rin though, for she hadn't gotten used to the tight kimono's skirt squeezing her legs yet. Soon Jaken raised up and desperately ran, reaching them.
When the vespertine sun was shinning high in the clear sky, the lord of the western lands hunted a wild pig for his followers' lunch and took it into the cave they were spending some time.
"Is there any river or lake nearby?" Annabelle asked him, wiping some drops of sweat off her forehead. It was uncomfortable enough the weather being so hot, but the place Sesshomaru has chosen to settle being so closed and sultry made things feel worse.
"It is dangerous" the daiyokai advised.
"I am anything but a defenseless woman" She smiled briefly, there were discrete dark circles under her eyes, evincing how tired she was.
"You are vulnerable though" He said, attentive on her features, golden eyes rolling over her entire body.
"You don't need to worry about me" Anna raised up from the stone where she has been sitting upon, then she stretched her arms and legs, trying to get more liveliness. Her ears captivated his low annoyed humming, so she stared at him and for the first time noticed the yokai a bit more expressive, it was possible to see the shades of an insulted look.
"Do as you wish" He stood up as well and gave her his back. Sesshomaru, worried about a woman? Oh, please! "Jaken, take care of Rin" Soon after giving the order, he left the tiny cave.
"I'll be back soon" Anna said to them while sighing. He is prouder than his brother. She thought, restraining a chuckle, going out of their shelter, leaving a little yokai and a girl confused by what just had happened.
Annabelle didn't have to walk too much so her ears could listen a sound of running water, as she followed it, her eyes found a stream in the middle of the woods. So, she hurried up getting rid of that many layers of heavy fabric, and after laying them over a stone, she gladly dove into the waters. There, the lass cleaned the scratch on her chest, washed her hair and then her whole body, going out of the stream only when she felt fully clean. Anna waited the sunlight dry her skin so she could dress up again. Yet, the afternoon was so hot that she put only the first layer of the garment, a white, thin Nagajuban, and she rose it up a bit above her knees, tying the fabric, just to keep the refreshing feeling on her legs a bit more.
The cool sensation over her skin made her joints relax, and then a profound tiredness fell upon Anna's limbs. How long she hasn't slept? The lonely woman had no idea. Her back rested against a big root while she looked at the leaves above, providing her a protective shadow from the sun beams. Her eyes blinked slowly, such a weight they seemed to carry that the coppery eyelashes had no choice but to seal. Belle has been taken by the sudden somnolence without much reluctance. In such conditions, not being able to even think clearly, she hoped to have a dreamless slumber, and if Naraku hadn't show himself till now, not even he had sent a Saimyosho to watch over her, it wouldn't be in that moment that he would mark his presence.
I just wish I could forget everything for a while. With that idea seducing her senses, Anna fell asleep.
Steps were getting close, pale fingers were moving the shrubbery away as dark eyes lurked her. Luminous spheres have been leading the way, till some of them floated above the sleeping lass. Even if there wasn't any malignant energy emanating around, still Annabelle felt a strange presence and her eyes shut opened, just in time to notice an arrow coming in her direction. Her head tilted aside, leaving the sharpen spiritual blade stuck into the wooden root, with some ginger strands of hair entwined on it. The White Rose staggering got up and faced Kikyo right ahead, those dark eyes laying over her like two daggers as another arrow was already aiming her body.
To be continued...
