chapter 6
\
Early afternoon sunlight, dimmed by straying clouds,
cast pastel rays about Rin's unmoving, curled up form. Ignoring the
pain of his injuries, Sesshoumaru began to crawl toward her.
Scents intensified: musty upturned earth, freshly broken trees, chared
wood, and the coppery death leaking from his wounds. He strained
over the pungent smells to seek out Rin's
own scent. At her side, only inches away, he stopped, nearly hovering just
above. With clear intent, he inhaled, filling his senses
with just her....
....and found blood and pain of spirit and body.
Long wavy brown hair, mussed, and littered with dried leaves and dirt,
hid her face. The back of her blue shirt was
stained with the darkness of fresh drying blood. Farther down... her
jeans were ripped.....
A dark rage began to sear red across his vision.
He closed his eyes for a long moment, forcing the feeling away.
Anger would deplete his dying strength and he needed all
he had left to help his mate. The hard swallow down his throat
burned all the way to his stomach. He opened his eyes. "Rin."
She did not move. Her small fisted hands were close
to her mouth. Into those fists, she whimpered.
"You are hurt." Sesshoumaru tried, not recognizing his own cracked
voice. "Please...." Still on hands and knees, he reached out.
His fingers barely touched her hip.
At his touch, she began to tremble.
Sesshoumaru withdrew his hand. "Rin."
The girl moved slightly, trying to edge away from him, her weeping
stinging his ears. "I'm...sorry. I'm sorry. Please...
I'm sorry. I didn't....I...."
Sesshoumaru moved closer.
As gentle as he could; he leaned down, encircled her within his hold,
then pulled her up into his arms.
Thankfully, she did not protest but still shivered against him,
weeping in quiet breaths that wet the cloth at his chest.
"Why...?...." She mewled at him.
Holding her snug, he frowned, his sight misting.
"Why.....Why.......?" Rin repeated, her voice begging in despair.
Sesshoumaru did not answer.
Crying, she coughed and choked. "Why....did you...do this
to me?"
Her intense pain engulfed his senses.
He swallowed the bitterness welling up in his mouth. "I...."
Sesshoumaru knew what she was asking but found it difficult to reply.
Searching within, his mind stumbled through a swirling storm of
unknown feelings that threatened to devour his soul. They beat
against his heart till he thought it would burst.
A hot wet tear slid down his cheek.

Overcome, he nuzzled her hair, then breathed, warm and damp,
close to her ear. "I don't know.
I...I don't know why."
Her pain and his finally crashed into him and began crushing his
heart. "I'm sorry."
Another tear escaped as he gently held her tighter to him. "Forgive me."

Moments passed as he held her snug against him. Her weeping lessened
as her trembling subsided. Soon, she was quiet and breathing evenly.
The storm within began to settle. He blinked away the stinging
wetness. "I will take you to our home." He said with unaccustomed weariness.
"You must heal." He stood with her in his
arms, her light weight now a burden with his wounds. Carefully, he began
to walk back.
\
She hurt so much. Rin's head buzzed as fire raged in her back and
horrible pain throbbed between her legs. Deep inside, the other agony was
curling into her body's torment. It snarled its thorns, rending, torturing,
forcing thoughts, hints of escape....by death.

Yet farther down beneath the sea of pain, a
delicate sound whispered, a flowing wind of
murmuring sighs too ghostly to fathom. The sighs formed
whispers, words.....

His deep voice echoed in her mind and heart; shadowed words
of sorrow and regret. A distant feeling rumbled like thunder, calling....
.... It offered a haven; a safe place where no one could ever
hurt her again. It was quiet, calm, and....warm.
The agony began to fade, unfurling from her physical pain first
before slipping away.
She stopped trembling and gave into the feel of his embrace.

Sesshoumaru grimaced as he slowly walked. Blood oozed down his legs to
drip onto the pavement. Rin was not moving or crying now, but he knew
she was alive and still breathing. He passed the gas station and soon
it was far behind. With steady intent, he remained focused on his
task. For if he paused, he would falter before reaching his home.
The sun was starting to touch the
treeline now for the shadows were creeping up to meet his path.
No car passed by as he walked with Rin in his arms. The road looked
and felt deserted.

Sesshoumaru glanced at the girl in his arms. Her hair was hiding her
face and she was very still. He wanted to say her name, say something,
anything but words would not come, only deepening despair. Yet, he did
feel her warmth and it gave him strength to go on.

-------------------------

Sesshoumaru gently laid Rin on his bed, lying beside her as he
did so, still keeping her in his hold. The last of his strength was
gone now. He had no more left. This was all the protection he could
give to keep her safe. Wet warmth began pooling beneath him onto
the bed covering. Soon, he would die. With hazing sight, he stared at her sleeping profile.
Delicately, he smoothed a lock of hair from her soft cheek.
One last thought whispered in his mind before darkness took him.
'She really is...beautiful.'
