Daughter Like Father

By: Lady Danielle

Wishing upon a Shard?

There sword clash each other hard, but not too hard. He was going easy on her since she was just a human girl. No, she was a girl. She’s a young woman and she is soon to be a final sixteen tomorrow afternoon. At that time she will decided to stay with her master which she looks up to as a father or go out into the world on her own to travel. But, if she did travel, she wonder where would she go without her Lord. She know she would find a human village and maybe have a few kids. She was a human after all and she didn’t belong in a castle filled with demon. She wished she did, but she doesn’t. Maybe it would be best for her to leave.

“You stepped in too hard, Rin.” Sesshomaru looks pass the swords and at his ward. “Now, it is easy for me to do this!” he pushes her sword and she goes flying back into the wall.

But, Rin didn’t hit the wall with her back usually, she hit it with her feet to push off back at him. This time she didn’t just make there swords stay still. They start to fight and there swords clashing every step and hit. “I’ve learned from my mistakes, my Lord.” she smiles.

“Using your surroundings at your advantage. You are learning, Rin.” he gives her a hard swing to see if she can take the blow and she does. She is still on her feet and ready to give her last attack.

Rin never won before against him but she is always determine to. She holds her katana in front of her, feet far apart, and body prepare to move any second. She battled him for a long time and he still surprises her with some different attacks. I can do this. I can bet him. I can’t attack hard or he can use it against me. I can’t do a air born attack or I’ll fly out of the dojo again. Any way I attack him, I will get caught. Maybe something new... something he won’t expect. If I go from behind then he would just turn around and get me there. What can I do?

She takes a deep breath and starts charging at her Lord. He gives her a small grin because she did this attack before. Rin ran full speed and there swords clash on to one another and she made a twist to kick him in his side. He didn’t see that coming, but catch it just in time before it land against his side where no armor is. He takes her feet and raise it in the air to make her hand upside down and drop her sword.

“No, fair!” she yells and looks up at him. “I was so close.”

He puts her down on the floor gently and watch her get up with a disappointing face. The face of defeat.

“Rin, you was close and I’m proud of you.”

Her expression change from being disappointed to joyful she stands to her feet and give quick bow. “Oh, really, Lord Sesshomaru?”

“Yes.” He picks up her sword and his practice sword and place them on the wall. After, he goes to the dojo door and open it. “Let’s go, Rin.”

“My Lord, do you mind if I stay here for a few minutes?” she looks at him with the moon shining around him.

“You have a important ceremony to attend to tomorrow, Rin.”

“I know, but please. Just for five minutes then I’ll be right behind you.”

He looks at her for a seconds then leave, “Do what you want.”

“Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru.” she watches him walk away and look outside.

Outside is nothing, but a fresh grass with a few flowers. Lord Sesshomaru order the gardener’s to place some flowers along the trail back to the castle for her. Sometimes she would get close or end up going through the wrong gate, going back to the castle.

Rin is about five feet tall with her usual long brown wavy hair, brown eyes, and wearing a white kimono with purple armor. The armor was her last gift from her Lord. It was just like his but all purple. She wears is when she’s out of the castle or practicing with her Lord.

She walks through the door and make sure Sesshomaru isn’t around. She close the dojo and looks down, pass the flower trail, and looks down the large hill to see beyond the castle wall to see the rest of the western lands. From here, she can see the demon territory to the human territory. Now, the demon territory is alive and more active at the Brothel. The human side is asleep with a few guards around.

Tomorrow is the day. The day I haven’t been looking forward to since Lord Sesshomaru told me. I have to pick to either stay here by Lord Sesshomaru’s side as a human or be free to love and be with my own kind as a human. I loves Sesshomaru, like a father, and wish my heart won’t split in two about this issue. She sigh and walk down the hill for a short time to sit down on the grass. If only he didn’t bring me back to life or took me in... No, I can’t think like that!

“How could I think like this, after all he’s done for me.” she looks up into the moon and feel her eyes water. “No, no crying.” she cleans her face with her kimono, pulls her knees to her chest, and hugs them with her head resting on her arms. “What I’m going to do?”

She sits and hep herself to think about something else to get her mind off things. One village boy, Kohaku makes her clear her head. Her and Kohaku are best friends. She loves him and wish he can be next to her right now for comfort. She always did love him but doesn’t know if her feelings would be return.

“Why is everything making me sad?” she yells and cleans her face again.

Sparkle. Something sparkles in her left eye which make her look down the hill, to the left side. Something is shining against the palace wall. “What is that?” she gets up and walks down the hill slowly.

Arriving at the wall she discovered a shard of the Shikon jewel planted in the wall. It wasn’t make inside of it, the pointy edge of the shard is poking out of a small crake inside the wall. Must have falling there.

“I’ll give this to Kagome when I get the chance too, tomorrow.” she puts the shard in her breast plate and lean on the wall and look at the castle.

Sherrr... The sound of rain dropping came closer and it finally hits her and then the castle. She pushes herself off the rain and heads for inside.

Before she can ever get to the side door, she’s drench. “Well, that is one way to take a bath.” she smiles and gathers her long hair and twist it to get some water out.

“Your even adorable when your wet.” a male voice.

She didn’t even have to look to know who it is, it’s Prince Kyo from the southern lands. Prince Kyo is a harmless dragon demon with red log hair, red eyes, a mouth of sharp teeth, and a red scale tail hanging behind him. Her and Prince Kyo are friends and only friends. Since Rin came to the castle, a few years ago after Naraku was destroyed, she was introduced to all the noble and lords of the lands. Since then, she always had someone to spend time with in the castle when all the nobles come around.

“Please, flattery doesn’t work on me, Kyo. You know that.” she smiles and starts walking down the half lite hallway with him by her side. “What are you doing up, spying on me?”

“Not at all, I was just walking around.”

“Oh, please. You probably was looking for the maids bath chamber.” she jokes and looks at him. “Pervert.”

“Never, Rin. Why do you think so low of me?”

“If I must tell you. Who was the one who I caught peaking into the maids changing area when we first met?”

“All right. All right. I’m a sick little bastard. Do you want me to say something else?”

“Your not a bastard. Just a pervert.”

“I am not.”

“Are too.” she giggles and shivers a little. “Why is this place always so cold?”

“Maybe because your wet.” his arm circle around her shoulders to bring her close. “Rin, ready for the big day tomorrow?”

“Oh, don’t remind me.”

“I figure you haven’t decided yet.”

“No, it’s so hard.” a tear comes down her cheek and her body stops near a torch.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Rin. I know it must be hard.” he licks her tear away with his snake like tongue and place her back against the wall. “What ever you decided, I would come and see you. We still would be friends, ok?”

“Thanks, Kyo.” she nods and looks to the side to look at her door. “I better get wash for bed. Lord Sesshomaru would be very mad if I show up at the ceremony late to...morrow.” she turns back and finds Kyo’s head way too close to hers. She tries to back up but couldn’t because of the wall. “Prince... Kyo.” she looks down and blush. “What are you doing?”

“Why ask questions if you know the answer to?” he place a hand on her cheek and press her lips against hers.

Rin’s body goes stiff and her heart starts to beat faster and faster. And a tingle feeling starts to happen between her legs, the feeling she knew when she had her lustful daydreams about Kohaku. She was horny.

Kyo pulls her closer, but not too close for her armor to hurt him. He touch her hip and press it against his to make her feel his erosion. Every time he was around her, he felt like this. He was in love with her and tonight he had to capture her lips with his before she made her chose tomorrow.

“Rin,” he starts a trail of kisses down her neck and starts to bit her gently to make a mark. “I love you.”

“Ah,” she moans and runs her hand through his hair. “Kyo...please...”

“Lady Rin, where have you been? I was–

Rin’s room is forced open by her care taker, Miss. Emiko. When Emiko looks at what Rin and Prince Kyo was doing, she turns away, bow her head. “Forgive me.”

Rin looks at Emiko with a blush then back at Kyo who seems to be still close with a smile on his face.

“I was just wishing Rin a good night.”

“Good night my butt.” she yells at him the slaps him across the face as hard as she can. “Pervert!”

“Just to keep the evil spirts away.” Kyo touch his cheek with a smile running across his face.

“Rin, Lord Sesshomaru–

“Emiko,” Rin sighs, goes in her room, and slams it behind her. “I’m going now. Good night.”

Emiko is a small old neko demon with silver fur and blue eyes. She didn’t take the form of a human like demon but a real cat, but standing on two paws, speaks, and wears clothes.

Inside Rin’s room, she looks around her princess room and the second largest room in the castle. It was made and designed just for her. The room has a lavender purple sat sheets with a crescent moon in the middle of the sheet and pillows. The curtains around the bed were purple as well, you can look right through them. Mostly everything is purple since it’s the color of the western lands. Across the room is her make-up dresser. One the left of her make -up dresser is a curtain which leads to her personal bath and to the right is to her balcony. The floor is just like the bed blanket while the walls are white. Her walk in closet is beyond the curtain, next to her bath. In front of her bed is a painted picture of her and Sesshomaru with her floral screen for her to dress under neath it.

She takes off her armor and place it on top of her floral dressing screen. She takes off her clothes quickly to go to her prepare bubble bath. She made sure she takes the Jewel shard out of her breast plat to keep an eye on it. Once she gets inside her tub a knock on the door reach her ears.

“Who is it?” she jumps out the tub to make sure the curtain is close tight with no hidden spots.

“Rin.” It’s Lord Sesshomaru.

“It’s open, my lord.” she gets back inside the tub and place the shard on the side as she hears him open and close the door. “Making sure I’m in the tub? In a few hours I won’t be a child that you have to keep check on.

She hears him sit down at her make-up desk. “Rin, we need to talk.”

“Go on.” she gathers her hair to one side of her shoulder and dip it in the water. “Just to make things clear, I didn’t start anything with Prince Kyo.”

“Prince Kyo, did he do something to you?”

Emiko didn’t tell him? Oh my gosh, how would I talk myself out of this one?

“He just wished me good luck tomorrow, in a way.”

“...”

“... What do you want to talk about?”

“I want to let you know that tomorrow would have some changes. I would be announcing your chose.”

“Does that mean I have to tell you now, my lord?” she starts to get nerves about the whole thing.

“I want to ask you a question, Rin.”

“Y-yes, my lord?” she picks up the shard and looks at it.

“Do you wish to be my daughter?”

Rin gasp as her heart feels like it stop along with her breathing.

“Rin, I wish for an answer.”

“...” she takes a deep breath, “Why? We are nothing alike in looks or in species. Why would you want a human in your line?”

“Despite of you being human, I see you like my daughter Rin. I wish to adopt you, if you let me.”

“...” a shiver comes over her body and tears start falling. “Oh, Lord Sesshomaru, as much as I wish I was your real daughter. To be able to call you father, but I must look at us. I would die before you will. And you would never have grandchildren that would have your blood. I know your family tree is full of full demons, despite your half brother... But, how would you look to have me up there? I will bring shame to your family tree.” she starts to cry and hold the shard to her heart.

“Only you are dwelling on the things I have looked through and figured out all ready, Rin. All you have to do is answer my question.”

“I wish I was a demon so this can be easier for me.” she opens her hand to look for the shard but its gone and her body starts to glow. “What happened to the shard?”

“Rin?” he was getting aggravate.

She push herself out the tub, dry, and dress in her long white dress pajamas. She stands in front of the curtain and opens it to see her Lord sitting on her back up table. “Yes, Lord Sesshomaru. I will love to be your daughter.” she gets down on one knee to hug him while crying.

“My daughter.” he holds her in his arms gently.

“Father.” she laughs and looks away from him. “This is too funny.”

“How so?”

“I don’t know. It’s just is.”

He picks her up bridal style and place her on the bed. “Good night, Rin.”

“Night father.” she gets under the covers and watch him go.

Later that night it starts to thunder and lightening. One lightening hit the side of Rin’s balcony, causing her to jump out of bed, and go into her new father’s room across the hall. Nights like these he keeps his door open, expecting her to come in. When she did, she gets in the bed with him, right next to his fluffy fur her carries around.

“Rin?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Your getting too old for this.” he wraps his arm around her and comforts her half shaken body.

Morning comes and Rin wakes up as soon as her new father starts to move and when Jaken came in the room with Sesshomaru’s schedule. Rin’s head is underneath Sesshomaru’s little fur and her hands wrap around it.

“Rin, get up.” Jaken hits her with his staff and she growls and turns her head.

“Leave me alone, Jaken!” she yawns.

Knock! Knock!

“Rin is in here Emiko.” Jaken walks to the door. “Like every storm.”

“Rin, let’s go or your going to be late for your own ceremony.”

“Then let me be late.”

“Rin, get up.” Sesshomaru tell her while sitting on the side of the bed.

She growls and sits up then leans on Sesshomaru’s back. “Slave drivers.”

“Rin, is that you?!” Jaken surprisedly jumps on the bed’s edge and looks at her as if she was a ghost.

“What kind of question is that, of course is me. Is my bed hair that bad?” she giggles then force herself off the other side of the bed and looks in the nearest mirror to see what he was talking about.

Her eyes are the same but the rest of her isn’t. Her hair has silver tips, her face has Sesshomaru’s markings but two lavender on each side and the moon on her forehead is the same as Sesshomaru, pointy ears, she has claws on every toe and finger, lavender eye shadow, and a one feet fluffy brown hair tail with a silver tip at the end. “Oh, my gosh, what happened to me?” she feels her markings then looks at her tail in the back. “I look like a demon.”

Sesshomaru appears behind her and smells her scent. “You have my blood running through your veins.”

“But, how is this possible?”

“What is this on your neck, Rin?” he touches the spot where Prince Kyo was nibbling last night.

“Not sure. A bug bite?” she puts her hair in the way and nervously smile at him.

“It’s a hickey.” Jaken points out.

“Shut up, Jaken.” she gives him one of Sesshomaru’s glares which she’s been knew how to do.

“Rin, who marked you?” Sesshomaru moves her hair and tilt her head.

“Making a mate is to bit there collar bone, not to give them hickey’s.”

“Ha, so you admit what it is?” Jaken points out.

Rin growls, takes his staff, and hit him. “Shut up!”
