Chapter

By Tadilau

 

Well it’s been a few days but here’s another that you guys have been asking for. Soon will turn into ‘Sesshoumaru’s quest’ Sorry but that’s all the hints I’m givin’

Shrukin woke up to a sudden surprise that Shippo wasn’t the warm fur next to him, it was Sesshoumaru’s  pelt he wore on his shoulder. Shrukin also noticed a sudden warning sign of crying mushrooms.

 

Following the trail of mushrooms Shrukin ran into a very skinny and beautiful female (yeah I know but her beauty made his mind flip and split in half after landing) picking up the mushrooms and tossing them into her knapsack.

 

“he-hello?”

 

The girl just ignored the greeting and went on picking the mushrooms suddenly the mushrooms died and sunk into the floor.

 

“Sesshoumaru-sama must be done!”

 

Feeling the weight of the bag increase (with the mushrooms wanting to return to their natural place) Rin tossed the bag to Shrukin and ran off.

 

 Trampled by the bag of melted mushrooms Shrukin could not see where the ‘gorgeous’ female went. The only thing that mattered to him was that name.

After trying to explain what happened to Shippo Shrukin went to his bedroom, his bedroom, alone….. Now he started to pace just repeating that name trying to remember who he was.

 

“Sesshoumaru….. wasn’t that guy from Wacdonalds? No wait that was Sinmaru. Hmmmm…..”

 

“Honey are you ok in there?”

 

“Mother, I mean Grand- Wait! That’s it! Sesshoumaru was the person who-who- NO!!!”

 

Finally remembering Shrukin slammed the lock, refused dinner and lied on his bed crying till he had no more tears left and fell asleep.

“It’s time to leave Rin…..”

 

Sesshoumaru-sama? You think I can stay here for a while?”

 

“If you can learn to comprehend here, and not make to much trouble”

 

“Yes! Sesshoumaru-Sama!”

Shrukin went out in search for a gift for his grandmother because she was really upset about what happened to Shippo

 

Shrukin walked inside a glass figurine shop (he knew she collected them and they were also feminine) when he saw that girl again.

 

“Sir, what do you want for these?”

 

“2000 yen please.”

 

“How ‘bout I melt your whole store down instead?”

 

“Wait!” Shrukin ran up in front of the girl and turned towards the shopkeeper, “here you go sir”

 

Shrukin handed the shopkeeper 2000 yen then turned towards the girl behind him. “you can keep that now, it’s yours.”

 

Rin looked puzzled for a moment trying to think about what she was supposed to say, “um….. Arigato?”

 

Shrukin didn’t notice that she said it in form of a question, he was to busy admiring her beauty. “Your welcome” He responded. “What is you name? I haven’t seen you around here that much. Did you just move here?”

 

“My name is Rin, and no I’m just visiting, Sesshoumaru-sama and I came here on a quest.”

 

“Your-Your teamed up with that murderer?”

 

Murderer? Sesshoumaru-sama is very nice! He brought me up after saving my life! Don’t say bad things about him!”

 

“Well, if he did save someone’s life I bet he is a good guy.”

 

“Yeah he is he is the one that lifted the curse from your family’s hand.”

 

“Really??”

 

“Yeah he doesn’t really care what happens to you he just cares what your family did to him.”

 

“What?”

 

Rin told the stories on Sesshoumaru’s behalf. While doing so Shrukin got more and more upset at himself and his family. Finally after telling him stories for over 3 hours Shrukin felt sorry for Rin.

 

Sitting on the floor Shrukin asked, “Why don’t you come live with me?”

 

“Why don’t you two get out of my store?”

 

***

 

Walking out of the store Shrukin and Rin walked down the sidewalk towards the well.

 

“Just stay one night, Please?”

 

“Okay, but tomorrow I have to do something.”
