chapter 8
========================
The deep thud vibrated through the sword in his hand, calling upon him
to do what was needed. He raised the weapon and brought it down once, killing
the spirits of the underworld hovering over his son.
A second passed.
Then another.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes then sat up. The curtains delicately
fluttering at the window caught his eye. It was open, letting a breeze
in that hinted of mid morning dew drying on blades of grass. Seeing his
father's sword at the foot of the bed, he frowned. Father had revived him
with Tenseiga. The breeze died, shocking him with the scent of dried
blood and death. The blood, mostly his own but the smell of death..
...His...
...and...
...Rin's...
His line of sight fell from the weapon to the floor.
Rin's body lay there: Silent, Still, Dead.
The sword released a sound: A low then higher thud. The tremor resonated
in the room, shuddering the walls.
Sesshoumaru rose to stand before his dead mate.
Again the air, room, and walls thundered from the call of Tenseiga.
Solemnly, he gripped the hilt, feeling the solid weight of the sword as he
raised it. The long silver blade stole light from the window then flashed
it back into the dimness of the room.
For the third time, Tenseiga called, the solid thud quaking through
him.
He looked at Rin. Little spirits appeared. They moved about her body,
readying her soul for the next world.
With one slash, he cut them all in half. The small green spirit creatures
vanished in a swirl of vapor.
Sesshoumaru dropped the sword then knelt at her side. Her heart
began beating. Moments passed as
color returned to her skin, from pale white to pinkly tinted peach.
Watery brown eyes opened, fuzzy at first blink, then clearer. They
saw him, looked into him.
Caught by her gaze, a slight gasp left his lips, his chest falling with
the lack of air.
==================================
Rin opened her eyes to see Sesshoumaru. She blinked a few times then
gazed openly at the inu youkai. She wanted to speak but didn't. Something
held her back. She swallowed then licked her dry lips before breathing in
deeply. Finding no pain, she wondered why. The last thing she remembered
was falling into a deep black pit that somehow she knew had been death
itself. Maybe she was dead. Never in life had she ever been absent of
bodily pain. Now. There was none. Yeah. That had to be it. She was dead. But?
Was this her new afterlife? Was she in Heaven? Or Hell? Kneeling
beside her was her dog demon mate in life who she must have followed
in death.
She swallowed again, noting the feeling of the gulp down her throat.
If she was dead, he was with her....and would always be with her.

Cutting his gaze from hers, the dog demon rose to his feet. She watched
him walk across the room and through a door. After a moment, she heard
the splatter of a shower.
Thoughts whirled dizzily in her head. She glanced at the open window
and the fluttering white curtain. Carefully she stood up to see the same
room, the same bed, and the same blood on the bed.
Rin barely touched her torn shirt before reaching out to touch the
blood soaked sheets. She approached the window then looked out to
see bright sunshine, tall green trees, grass bowing to the wind and...
her old house across the street.
No.
She wasn't dead.
She was alive.
And so was Sesshoumaru.
The shower stopped and Rin turned to see him walk out of what she now
knew was a bathroom.
The naked Inu Youkai, holding a white towel around his waist,
did not look at her as he crossed the room and
entered through the two large doors on the other side.
Staring at the open double doors, Rin slowly began walking across the room.
She paused, seeing Sesshoumaru far into the walk-in-closet. Now wearing
white underwear, he was pulling on a long sleeve light gray button up shirt.
Not once did he look at her as he dressed, his expression and gaze set with
emotionless intent. When he picked up a pair of pants
on a hanger, Rin looked away then left the room.
Rin found the stairs and the door to her room easily enough. In her room,
she sat on the bed and stared at the shut door. Her body didn't hurt but
her mind and heart still rumbled with strange feelings. Before, it was painful,
but now, it was different. There was still a subtle ache, but now it was
more of a yearning pull.
She frowned at her clothes. They were torn and smelled bad. She wanted
a bath.
It then hit her. Her bag! And Teddy! They weren't here!
That meant they were still at....
Feeling sick to her stomach, Rin quickly found the suitcase Kagome had
given her with a change of clothes. Grabbing a soft blue jean skirt
and light orange blouse, she undressed then dressed hurriedly.
While slipping on a pair of black flip-flops
she had found in the suitcase, Rin decided to leave through the front
door this time instead. If she didn't hurry now, Someone might find
Teddy and she would never see him again!
Opening the bedroom door, all Rin could think of was Teddy, hoping
he would still be where she left him. She entered the hall then froze,
seeing Sesshoumaru. Only a reach away, he stood, holding her with a calm
amber gaze.
Still worried about Teddy but frozen, Rin gazed back at the tall
inu youkai, swirls of unknown wonder hinting like
crashing waves against a faraway shore. "I...."
"Teddy....My bag...He's back there. I... I was going..."
He turned, leaving down the hall. "Wait here."
Rin didn't move. Where was he going? Did he mean for her to wait here or
just somewhere in the house? Why couldn't she go..? Well..She didn't get
to explain...
Before she could think another thought, he was in front of her again with
the bag in his hand. He set it down then silently left.
Rin stared at the bag, seeing Teddy's ear and head poking up from the top.
She picked it up then went into the bedroom. After shutting the
door, Rin pulled him out to hug him as tight as she could.
"I'm so sorry for leaving you like that. I won't do it again. I'm so
glad they didn't hurt you. You're here now safe with me. Safe..."
